Prologue

(Halo 3 opening music)

It has been many years since the UNSC has been exploring. On August 4th 2728 the UNSC Infinity-IV was finally complete. Morgan Hicks's girlfriend was the captain of the Infinity. Azure ops was moved aboard. Since the UNSC screwed up the fallout universe they might as well help rebuild. The deal was that the UNSC helps that earth rebuild and they get the planet. So the old flagship Golden Night was sent through to help the Brotherhood rebuild the destroyed Earth.

Echo had recently got an electronic mind-voice translator so he could talk. He know sounded like Stephen Hawking. He and his team were now transferred to the Infinity.

Mandi Samborn had indeed survived the malicious incident. She now had a crew and a ship the Dashing Loyalty. The Dashing Loyalty was now landed on the moon orbiting the planet dubbed Equi-1 by Samborn.

The new Infinity is now about to launch and set course to explore the Equi system. Little is known about there. But they're gonna be surprised what they find.

Check out the first chapter ya'll

No ponies in this chapter sorry!

Chapter 1: Infinity and beyond

UNSC Jupiter station Dry-dock

August 4th, 2728

Hicks was staring at a bottle of Brazilian ale.

"You actually drink this shit?" He asked his Vice: Anthony Brown.

Anthony was got drunk off his rocker for the launch party of the Infinity-IV.

"Udd. What did you say boy?"

"Vice; you're drunk off your ass!"

Morgan came into Hicks' Dorm.

"House it goin?" She asked.

"Pretty good, honey." He replied. "Anthony's drunk but that's nothing new."

"Well it's finally here the launch of the UNSC Infinity-IV. The fourth ship to bear the name Infinity."

"Eyup." Hicks said. He grabbed some Nuka-Cola. "Imported from the capital wasteland."

He poured some in a couple of shot glasses.

"Cheers to the Infinity-IV!" He said.

"Cheers." Morgan replied.

They clanged there glasses and downed the slightly irradiated soft drink.

UNSC Infinity-IV armory

Tom was checking the weapons inventory when Sierra came strolling in.

"Hey Tom, why are you staring at a wall of guns when you could be drinking with the best of us down on the recreation deck?"

"First of all I don't drink. Second I've gotta inventory these weapons for the departure tonight."

"Why?"

"Why? Cuz we could potentially run into hostile alien species while we're out there or some innies."

"Whatever you could have some Nuka-Cola."

"I'm not drinking anything with radiation in it!"

"Whatever man, come down to the rec room if you wanna have fun."

"Gotcha!"

UNSC Infinity bio-sphere

Blu and Jewel were flying through the Infinity's bio-sphere. It was so life-like! It had real trees, real dirt, real water, and real birds.

Blu and Jewel decided to jump onto the Infinity. Blu just wanted to learn about other planets while visiting them and Jewel got dragged along. Nico, Pedro, and Rafael tagged along too. Arthur and Jez (A/N Arthur and Jez are from Ted Wakeman and Project NICK's stories.) stayed behind. Nico and Pedro built a Samba club in the middle of the bio-sphere.

Blu and Jewel flew over to "Infinity and beyond" to see Nico and Pedro.

"Yo wuzzup, bird?" Pedro asked.

"Nothin just checking out this… Ummm…. Rad biosphere." Blu replied.

"Sweet we're having a party tonight ya wanna come?" Nico asked.

"Sure we'll be there!" Jewel replied.

UNSC Infinity Bridge

Morgan was enjoying her fancy captain's chair.

'Hehe Captain Morgan.' She thought.

Logan had been demoted due to him hacking everyone's computers while he was drunk. He now the first officer of the Infinity which he thought of it as a lose win.

Tom Fortnell was the armory officer. Sierra was chief of security. The linguist was named Kira. Science officer was also Logan. Tom Fortnell was also the chief engineer. Helmsman was actually Hicks' stepmom Karen.

Hicks came onto the bridge.

"Well I believe it is time." He said.

"Take us out Mrs. Hicks!" Morgan ordered.

The Infinity lurched out of the dry-dock. The ship's engines glowed blue as the ship exited the dry-dock.

"Set a course for the Equi system." Morgan ordered.

The ship began to spark blue and it entered the realm known as slipspace.

UNSC Infinity biosphere

(Party Rock Anthem- LMFAO)

"Party Rock!" Nico began to sing.

"Yeah!" Pedro joined in.

And they began to sing Party Rock Anthem.

The birds began to dance.

Blu and Jewel were dancing up a storm.

"Get up get down! Put your hands up to the sound!" Jewel began to sing.

They continued to dance. They danced and sang and drank the night away.

UNSC Infinity Rec room

"Yo Weston!" Sierra shouted.

"Yeah!"

"Cheers to the UNSC Infinity!"

"To the Infinity!" Weston shouted.

"And beyond!" Sierra said.

Grif was jamming with Simmons as the DJ. Donut was writing a fanfic. Church was chilling with Tex. Caboose was dancing. Sarge was drinking some hard apple cider. Tucker was trying to pick up chicks.

"Rock on!" Grif said.

"I WANT A PONY!" Caboose said

"Quiet guys I'm trying to write!" Donut said.

Sarge passes out from Alcohol over usage.

Tucker is trying to ask this Asian girl out.

"So yeah we can go to my place and….."

"I don't even know you!"

"So."

"TUCKER!" Church yells. "Shut the fuck up!"

"Ok fine!"

Anthony and Fernando were in the game room playing call of duty with Sierra.

"MOTHER FUCKER!" Fernando yelled.

"HAHA! Broke your kill streak!" Sierra said.

Sierra was pwning every one at MW18.

"AW COME ON!" Anthony yelled. "MOTHER FUCKING GRENADES!"

Suddenly Echo came in. Snatched the controller from Fernando.

"HEY!"

He then proceeded to murder Sierra in the game.

"FUCK!" Sierra exclaimed.

Echo threw the controller back at Fernando and left the room.

"My kill streak!" Sierra exclaimed

"Ha! Ha!" Fernando gloated.

"ACHIEVMENT UNLOCKED: DREAM KILLER!" Fernando got the achievement for breaking someone's kill streak.

Hicks came into the Rec room.

"Hey can I play a game?" Hicks asked.

"Why the hell not? Here grab a controller!" Fernando tossed Hicks a controller.

Hicks spawned into the game and was immediately sniped by Sierra.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKING CAMPER!"

"It's a legitimate strategy!"

This time Hicks spawned right behind Sierra and he knifed him.

"Shit!" Sierra said.

Fernando sniped Hicks and then immediately sniped Sierra about 2 seconds after he respawned.

"Fuck this!" Fernando said. "I'm gonna go play Minecraft!"

Fernando was then immediately killed by a creeper.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Rage quit. "MOTHER FUCKING CREEPER!"

Hicks and Sierra were laughing there faces off.

"Just another day in paradise!" Anthony chilled in his bean bag chair.

(Song end)

This is probably what Halo 4 launch night will be like. Well we'll see what the Equi system is like in the next chapter.

…. Right so I'll never eat another cupcake again. Well anyway chapter 2.

Chapter 2: Equestria daily

Ponyville, Equestria (Equi-1)

August 4th, 2728

5:00 PM

Twilight was reading some books when Rainbow Dash suddenly flew in. She flew onto the floor and put her aqua wings away.

"I'm ready for number 5!" Dash said.

Twilight levitated Daring Doo book number five over to Dash. She caught it in her mouth.

"Thanks Twilight!"

"No problem!"

(Mas Que Nada- Rio soundtrack)

Dash flew off for her early morning weather commute. Partly cloudy. She whacked a few clouds.

"There we go!"

Satisfied with her work she went over to her place to read Daring Doo No. 5.

(Song end)

Meanwhile at Twilight's place. Twilight was reading a book about aliens. Spike came strolling down the stairs. He burped out a scroll.

"What does Celestia have to say to me today?" Twilight opened the scroll.

My faithful student

I need you and your friends to come to Canterlot for a few days. I'll tell you why when we get here. It's IMPORTANT!

- Princess Celestia

"Sounds important." Spike said.

"Yeah. Let's go get everyone and get ready to go to Canterlot."

First stop: Sugar cube corner: the town bakery and home of Pinkie Pie. Twilight went up to the pink colored door and knocked on it. Pinkie Pie opened the door.

Pinkie was a Pink earth pony with a pink mane.

"Oh hey Twilight what's going on?"

"Celestia wants us to come to Canterlot for a few days."

"Cool are we throwing a party? Is it Celestia's birthday? Is it?"

"She didn't say but it seems important."

"Well… Maybe it's Luna's birthday!"

"PINKIE! I don't think it's anyone's birthday!"

"Ok."

Pinkie, Twilight, and Spike walked over to Fluttershy's place. Her cottage was built in a tree and it was surrounded by animals. Fluttershy was a yellow Pegasus pony with a lightish red mane (Pink!). Well more like light pink.

"Oh, hey Twilight." She said in a low shy voice.

"Hey, umm Celestia wants us to go to Canterlot for something important."

"Oh gee Twilight; I'd love to go but I've gotta watch the girls."

"The girls?"

"Yeah Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo."

Just as she said that the 3 fillies came running out of the house.

"Well you could bring them along!" Twilight suggested.

"OK."

"YEAH!" Pinkie yelled.

Up next was sweet apple acres home of Applejack. Applejack was out apple bucking. Twilight, Pinkie, Spike, and Fluttershy walked up to her as she bucked a tree.

"Well howdy doo, Twilight."

"The Princess needs us all in Canterlot right away."

"Can do!" Applejack did the pony salute and began walking to the boutique where Rarity spends her days.

Twilight knocked on the door. Rarity opened the door.

"Hello darling!"

"The princess needs us in Canterlot she says it's urgent."

"Ok just as soon as I-"

"No we need to go there right now! Well after we get Rainbow Dash."

"OK." Rarity donned a sparkly hat and followed Twilight to Dash's cloud house.

Dash was sitting on a cloud reading her book.

"DASH!"

She was so surprised she dropped her book.

"Hey!"

"We need to go to Canterlot! The princess says it's urgent!"

"OK." She said in an unenthusiastic tone.

They then took the train to Canterlot. The ride took about an hour.

Canterlot, The royal castle

9:00 PM

The six ponies and the 3 fillies rushed through the door. Princess Celestia was waiting for them in the lobby.

"Good, you made it." The princess said. "We have things to discuss."

They walked into the Canterlot archive and Celestia opened up a blank sheet on the wall.

"We are not alone." She said.

She projected a picture of the moon with her horn. The surface was fine but there was a large metallic object on the surface.

"What is that?" Twilight asked.

"That is an extraterrestrial vessel. Luna spotted it when she raised the moon."

"WELL WHAT IS IT DOING HERE?" Dash asked.

"I don't know what its intentions are. But all I can say right now is that you all must stay in Canterlot until this blows over." Celestia stopped projecting the image. "You can stay in the royal sweets until I'm through with this."

Dash gave her signature pony salute and walked away.

Celestia looked up at the moon. The ship was still fully visible.

X Dashing Loyalty, (Equi-1 moon)

Samborn had ordered an X painted on the UNSC logo on the port and stern on the ship. She found it quite fitting. She had a crew of 50 people. Her first officer's name was Caleb Foster. The ship was an old fashion UNSC destroyer that was decommissioned after the covenant war. It was down on the moon of a planet she called Equi-1 due to the UNSC calling this system the Equi star system. 5 planets 1 inhabited. Inhabited by what Samborn couldn't put a finger on.

"Maam, bio-scanners are offline but I was able to get us those torpedoes operational."

Samborn just stared off into the green planet of Equi-1.

"Maam?"

"Get those sensors operational I want to see what's down there."

"Yes maam!"

Canterlot, Royal palace

Celestia wandered through the halls of her palace.

'Maybe these aliens' intentions aren't sinister.' Celestia thought.

Celestia then sent out a radio signal from her horn letting every UNSC ship in the sector who and where equestria was.

A more appropriate name is how Caboose can fuck up a first contact. Enjoy!

Chapter 3: First Contact

UNSC Infinity bridge

August 5th 2728

"….. My name is princess Celestia and I am from the planet Equestria. We are a land of peace and Harmony. We would like to make new friends…"

"Sound's like a trap." Tom inferred.

"I don't think so." Hicks said. "Well even if it was it would take a large fleet to down this ship. I mean we have 3 different shields! It would take 200 plasma torpedoes to breach even the first shield!"

"I find it weird that it is in English." Logan said.

"How's the long range scans?" Morgan asked Logan.

"A small pre-industrial civilization populated by….."

"By what?"

"Scans register equines or horses or ponies."

"Horses or ponies?"

"That's what the scans say; no humanoid life or bipedal species detected. Brain scans indicate at least average human intelligence. They seem to be 3 different variances of the equine population: Some appear to have wings, others seem to emit energy, others are normal."

"Interesting, plot a course."

"Have you thought of cultural contamination?"

"Indeed but they appear to…."

"Wait! Sensors show a UNSC destroyer on the moon of Equestria."

"What's its tag?" Hicks asked.

"20-20-20; the Dashing Loyalty."

"Didn't that ship disappear a few months ago?" Fernando said.

"We'll deal with it later." Hicks said. "I am very curios about these 'Equestrians'."

The UNSC Infinity pulled into a geo-synchronies orbit above what appeared to be the capital city. It was a castle surrounded by a city of wooden cottages.

"Other than this settlement I'm detecting other cities. I do not detect anymore radio-waves other than the Princess's signal. I detect a continent that is run by Zebras. This seems to be at least industrial."

"Zebras?"

"That's what the scans say."

"Prepare a proper response to this 'Princess' and tell her that we would be honored to meet her and her race." Hicks said.

Sierra's Dorm UNSC Infinity

Sierra was mildly hung over from last night's launch party. He downed some anti-toxin for some good measure and his alcohol induced headache was gone.

"Sierra to the briefing room." Hicks said over the intercom.

Sierra donned his security outfit and made his way down the hall to the turbo-lift. The turbo lift went to one level below the bridge: the briefing room.

The door opened and standing there was his team, Hicks, and his team and a couple members of blue team.

"What's up; you look a little hung over." Church asked.

"I WANT TO MEET THE PONIES!" Caboose yelled.

"Ponies?"

"Long story." Hicks explained. "I'll explain it on the way down to the surface."

"Ok."

"OK I've chosen you people to make a good first impression on this civilization. WellChurch cuz I owed him a favor and Caboose wouldn't stop bugging me cuz 'he wanted to meet the ponies'."

"Well ok then let's get off this high-tec hunk of metal and onto that alien planet."

They walked to the hanger of the Infinity. In there was 5 pelicans, 50 hornets, 5 hawks, 4 mark 3 UNSC seraph fighters, 20 banshees, and one mark 3 UNSC Vulture.

"We'll be taking the pelican." Hicks said.

Sierra marveled at all the vehicles here.

"Hey, this is just the light hanger; the heavy hanger has 20 long and shortsword fighters."

This made Sierra's jaw drop.

"OK let's get in."

They climbed into the pelican. The hanger decompressed and the pelican exited the Infinity.

(Star trek enterprise theme (Faith of the heart))

The pelican zoomed into the upper atmosphere. The vessel could be seen by the ponies of Canterlot 2 minutes after that.

(Song end)

Canterlot Archives (Royal palace)

"Girls," Celestia started. "There is another alien ship in orbit."

"WHAT!" Rainbow Dash said.

"This one is a great deal bigger and they say they want to meet us."

"GREAT!" Pinkie Pie said. "I've never had alien friends before!"

Celestia's horn glowed and it replayed the alien's message.

"We would be honored to meet you." Said a female voice. "This is the UNSC Infinity: A starship capable of travelling long distances. We are in orbit around your planet and we will send down some people to meet you. Ambassadors if you will. They will touch down in the middle of your capital city. This is Captain Morgan Mason telling you that we're not hostile."

"The aliens are…are coming here!" Twilight started freaking out.

"Yes but they say they are here under peaceful intentions."

Suddenly they all heard what it sounded during a wonderbolts show but it wasn't a wonderbolts air-show.

"I want you six to be our ambassadors for Equestria."

"YEAH!" Pinkie Pie said.

"I shall do it." Rarity said.

"If they try anything…." Dash started.

"I hope they are friendly." Fluttershy said shyly.

"If they attack anyone then I'll buck em right outta Equestria!" Applejack threatened.

"It shall be my honor." Twilight said with great responsibility.

Canterlot courtyard (Equi-1 err Equestria)

The rear doors opened and the first thing Hicks saw was 6 colored ponies. One with a Rainbow mane and a coat that was the color of Tucker and she had wings, One with A pink mane and a pink coat, One with a light pink mane and a yellowish coat also had wings, one with a blond mane and an orange coat, one with a dark purple mane and a white coat and a freaking horn, and one with a light purple coat with a multi-shades of purple mane. AND SHE HAD A HORN!

'What the hell is this?' Church thought.

"PONIES!" Caboose yelled as he jumped out of the back of the pelican and started to hug the alien ponies.

"CABOOSE!" Hicks yelled. "Get back here!"

"Ponies! PONIES! PONIES! PONIES!" Caboose yelled.

"Well isn't this a first contact for the books." Church said.

"Ok I'm ok now." Caboose said.

"Caboose," Church said. "YOU ARE NEVER OK!"

"Ok."

"Well anyway I'm Admiral Derek Hicks of the United Nations Space Command or UNSC for short.

"Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle; the faithful student of Princess Celestia."

"Nice to meet you."

Logan then bumbled out of the pelican with a scanner.

"Logan! What are you doing here?"

"I was scanning and found out that there is a Rainbow SN radiation source on the planet!"

"Great, now get back in the pelican!"

"Well howdy do! My name is Applejack." She started to shake Hicks' hand really fast. "I run sweet apple acres."

"My name is…." The yellow one started to say.

"What's your name?" Hicks asked.

She said it so low it was unintelligible.

"Well nice to meet you anyway."

"My name is Rainbow Dash! I'm the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!"

"Oh yeah. Prove it."

She then started flying.

"HOLY SHIT!" Logan said. "She's at Mach 1, 2, 3, 4, 5."

Suddenly the entire light spectrum was breached and a large sonic boom happened and a circular rainbow pattern appeared where Dash went from mach 5 to mach 10.

All of the human's jaws dropped.

"Rainbow SN radiation detected! She emits the stuff!"

"Well Logan that's cool but put yer little scanner away and be a good ambassador."

Dash slowed down and landed back in the courtyard.

"Damn!" Sierra commented.

"Pretty rainbows." Caboose said.

"You got mad skills!" Fernando commented.

"Eh, seen better." Anthony said

Hicks elbowed Anthony.

"Ow!"

"Yep," Dash said. "Thank you. That trick there is the sonic rainboom; I'm the only one who can do that."

"Well I'm Pinkie Pie!"

"Cool."

"I have a sister named Pinkamena; she killed Dash in another fanfic once!" Pinkie just dun broke the fourth wall.

"What?" Hicks said.

"It was called Cupcakes! It was interesting."

"Yeah that story gave me nightmares!" Hicks said.

"It twus fucked up!" Sierra said.

Suddenly a copy of the real Derek Hicks came falling out of the sky.

"PINKIE THIS IS MY STORY! NOBODY CAN BREAK THE FOURTH WALL IN MY STORY GOT IT?"

Pinkie nodded.

"Ok, later!"

The copy of the real Derek Hicks went back up into the clouds.

Then suddenly everything was back to normal and no one remembered Pinkie breaking the fourth wall or Derek Hicks falling out of the sky.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rarity."

"Nice to meet ya." Sierra shook her hoof.

"I can tell that this is gonna be a good relationship between our 2 species." Hicks said.

Pinkie dun broke the fourth wall! Well this is the end of this chapter. Adios!

Chapter 4: Relations

Canterlot recreation area, Equestria

August 5th 2728

Well guess what Pinkie threw a huge party for Hicks and the others. All of Purple team came down to the surface as well as Morgan and Tom. The birds had also come down to Equestria. They were now eating all manna of vegetables and fruit.

"Ya got any chicken?" Fernando asked.

"YOU EAT CHICKENS?!" Fluttershy nearly feinted.

"Steak?"

"What's steak?" Applejack asked.

"The meat of a cow cooked on a grill and it's so damn good!"

That did it Fluttershy feinted.

"Uh is she alright?" Donut asked.

"Your people eat the flesh of animals?" Twilight asked.

"Well yeah kinda. Don't knock it til ya try it! Hamburgers, steak, Chicken nuggets, turkey."

Fluttershy was trying to get back up but she feinted again.

"Here in equestria all we eat is vegetables and fruit." Twilight explained.

"Well this may sound like a weird question." Anthony said. "How do you guys date?"

"Date?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah ya know date; romantic night with a boy and a girl, end up kissing in the end."

"Well we have dating yes but sometimes we have ponies who like to 'date' ponies of there same gender."

"What about Dash over there she must have dated every single mare on this planet!"

"No she's strait as can be."

'Fuck logic!' Anthony thought.

"LET'S PARTY!" Pinkie yelled.

"Ugh, where's the beer." Anthony asked.

"Beer?" Applejack asked.

"Something with alcohol in it."

"Well here's some of the Apple family apple cider." Applejack gave him a mug of her famous cider.

He chugged it down.

"There's alcohol in this?"

"Yup."

"LET'S HAVE A PARTY!" Anthony had now downed 3 mugs of the cider.

"Great Anthony found the alcohol." Hicks said.

Anthony was now dancing with Pinkie Pie.

"May I have this dance?" Hicks asked Morgan.

"Sure."

"Yo Vinyl!"

The white pony with all shades of blue rock hair looked over.

"Play this!"

(Telling the World- Taio Cruz)

Hicks and Morgan began to slow dance to the song. As well as Blu and Jewel. And Anthony was so drunk that he couldn't tell he was dancing with Pinkie.

Fluttershy had unfeinted and began to jam to the beat. Dash was even dancing a little bit.

HellChurch and Tex started dancing with each other. Donut tried to Dance with Grif but he told him to "Fuck off!" So Donut danced with Rarity.

"Fuck it!" Fernando said.

He started to dance with Twilight.

A drunken Spartan, a crazy partiest, a high powered admiral, his girlfriend, a heavy weapons guy, a brainiac pony, 2 azure birds, a couple of AI fragments, a girly guy and a strive-to-be-brilliant dress maker were all dancing to music.

"Hey Rainbow!" Applejack said.

"No."

"Alright."

(Just to let you know I appose the AppleDash pairing or well any Dash lesbian cases. I rest my case.)

(Song end)

"Yo Vinyl!" Pedro said. "Toss this on."

(Party Rock Anthem- LMFAO)

At this point not even Celestia could keep from dancing. Everyone began to dance to the Party Rock.

Nico and Pedro began to sing along to it.

"Just because they're pre-industrial doesn't mean they can't though a great party!" Logan exclaimed.

"SHAKE THAT!" Pedro and Nico exclaimed.

Jewel sung along to the song too. Blu thought it was the most beautiful thing ever. Hicks thought that Morgan jumping up on the table and dancing the party rock was better.

The scene was amazing. Pinkie and Anthony. Fernando and Twilight. Hicks and Morgan. Donut and Rarity. Blu and Jewel. Church and Tex. And everyone else was dancing to the most addicting song in the galaxy or well THE MULTIVERSE!

(Song end)

A few hours later Fernando asked a question that should never be asked.

"Hey Dash?"

"Yeah?"

"You wanna cupcake."

"NO NEVER AGAIN!" She ran away.

"What was that about?" Hicks asked.

"I asked her if she wanted a cupcake."

"Fernando, cupcakes are the single most evil pastry EVER! I wouldn't eat a cupcake!"

"What's so bad about cupcakes?"

"Trust me you do not want to know." Hicks walked back to the party.

Fernando threw the cupcake away.

Tucker was again trying to pick up chicks.

"I dig a chick with a foreign accent!"

"TUCKER! They are ponies!" Church yelled.

"I'll take what I can get! Bow Chicka Bow wow!"

Hicks and Morgan were now dancing to (Thnks Fr Th mmrs- Fallout boy).

"So is this like your favorite song?"

"Well kinda; it's my favorite band."

Hicks and Morgan continued to dance to the music.

(Song end)

Meanwhile Anthony was drinking his emergency Brazilian ale. He was now so drunk. He passed out a few minutes later.

Meanwhile Hicks and Celestia were having a conversation outside the party.

"So what is the history of your nation?"

"Well we started off as 3 tribes: The pegasi, the unicorns, and the earth ponies. In a short story we united and formed equestria."

"Has there ever been any wars?"

"Not since the formation of Equestria."

"Well humans have had a lot of wars. Mostly with ourselves. But more recently was a war with aliens."

"Aliens?"

"Yes they were called the covenant. They wanted to wipe out the entire human race and almost wiped out the whole galaxy."

"Then I'm grateful that you stopped them."

"Well not me personally. It was more on a Spartan name John-117."

Hicks and Celestia went on and on about the history of humanity and equestria.

"So what about that other ship?"

"The other ship? I have no idea what it's doing on your moon but I'll find out soon."

"OK."

Interesting party! Well now that is the second party of the story! I'm writing this chapter 1 day before I released the first chapter!

Chapter 5: Intentions

UNSC Infinity Spartan-IX program training deck (MERCENARY training deck)

August 6th, 2728

"What's the difference between these 'MERCENARY' folks and us other Spartan IVs?" Spartan B56 asked.

Standing in the middle of the Arena was Spartan 100. About 4 Spartans were charging towards him. Echo-100 whacked all four of them out of the way. Then Nova; Echo's team leader smashed there heads into the floor. She then proceeded to pick them and toss them against the wall.

"Ok Sorry I asked." B56 said.

Suddenly a Viper the team marksman picked up B56 and tossed him on the floor.

"FUCK!"

"Well that's enough ass kicking for one day!" Nova said.

"I dunno." Viper said. He kicked B56 as he was on the ground.

"Don't kick a man while he's down!" Echo said.

"He's not a man; he's a muppet."

The MERCENARY crew walked back to there special quarters. Nova took her helmet off and revealed her wavy blond hair and freckled face.

"So what do we have on the ship on the moon?" Nova asked Viper.

"Nothing except that it is the ship that was stolen off of Reach."

"The Dashing Loyalty am I right?" Echo asked.

"Yes," Nova said. "Reports say that the innies stole the ship."

"Well we're gonna need to blow it up!" Viper said.

"No shit."

Viper was checking the scans.

"It's gone."

"What do you mean it's gone?"

"The ship! It's gone!"

X Dashing Loyalty

En route to the Pegasi Delta system

"Well empress we are on our way to that covenant grave yard." First officer Foster reported.

"Good set up a transponder on the private rebel channels." Samborn said.

Caleb Foster went to the communications to signal support for the covenant ship grave-yard at Pegasi-Delta. Hundreds of old Covenant ships that are mostly intact at the insurrection's disposal! Ha! Ha!

Canterlot, Equestria

"ARE YOU SERIOUS I WAS SLOW DANCING A PONY!?" Anthony yelled.

"Yes and you drank down most of the hard cider at the party as well as your hidden Brazilian ale." Hicks said.

"Jeez!"

Hicks, Anthony, Fernando, Church, and Donut stayed over night in the capital. The others went up to the ship.

"Well what did you do after your history talk with Celestia?" Fernando asked.

"Ummm…"

(Flash-back)

Canterlot Royal castle

August 5th 2728

Hicks was now chatting with Rainbow Dash. He had in the last few minutes swigged down some cider.

"So you're like the greatest flyer in the lands?" Hicks asked drunkenly.

"Yep. That's me!"

"Well maybe I'll give ya a tour of the Infinity some time soon."

"And I'll show you my place back in Ponyville."

"Sweet." Hicks drank some more cider.

Canterlot Royal Castle

August 6th 2728

"Fuck!" Hicks said.

"What?" Anthony asked.

"I was supposed to hang out with Rainbow Dash today!"

Hicks ahem dashed out the door.

Pegasi Delta

Covenant ship grave yard

Kig-Yar, human innies, Jiralhanae, and there Unggoy slaves came in all sorts of vessels that they would break down to repair about 10 of the minorly damaged super carriers. All of them were led by Samborn who was declared Empress of the new Galactic Empire that was formed by these thousands of haters of the UNSC. The letters ISS were painted where the X was on the capital ship Dashing Loyalty. It had been fitted with covenant shields and plasma weaponry. The engines now had covenant tech built into it that increased its speed and accurate slipspace.

2 of the Covenant ships had been repaired and brought into orbit already. But they were at minimal power and still under repairs. Other vessels in the Imperial fleet included a UNSC Halcyon Class ship known as the Satan's Vengeance. Or the UNSC destroyer Here comes the Calvary.

Samborn Marveled over her fleet. About a hundred ships could be used including five covenant ships recovered from the ruined factories on Pegasi Delta. 50 of the ships in the fleet were innie frigates. 5 were brute carriers. 5 more were brute Corvettes. 10 of them were Innie destroyers including the Staff of Charon. The rest were UNSC corvettes and the salvaged Covenant ships.

"Do you think that this is enough to take on the Infinity?" Samborn asked her first officer Caleb Foster.

"A hundred assorted Covenant and human ships? I believe so."

"When can we get the fleet back to Equi-1?"

"About a day to bring the fleet back to fighting status."

"OK get it done."

Caleb bowed down and went back to his station.

Ponyville, Equestria.

Hicks had spent the day touring Ponyville with Rainbow Dash. He was beat. He still owed Dash that tour of the Infinity. He was now napping in the library with Twilight. Celestia let them all go home after the first contact party. He would take Dash back to the Infinity that night along with the rest of the mane six. But for now he would nap.

Ponyville town center

August 6th 2728

7:00 PM

Dash, Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, Aqua team, Church, and Donut were waiting for the pelican to land. The pelican was about 2 feet from the ground when the landing gears kicked in. The rear doors opened and they entered the Pelican.

"Interesting." Twilight said. "How does this vehicle fly?"

"It runs on a small nuclear reactor that powers the thrusters and air jets." Hicks explained.

"How fast does it fly?" Dash asked.

"Not as fast as you." Fernando said.

Dash smirked a bit.

The Pelican pulled back into the hanger of the Infinity.

"Admiral Hicks to the bridge!" Morgan said over the intercom.

It sounded urgent.

"Sorry Dashie I'll have to give you that tour later."

"It's ok."

UNSC Infinity bridge

"What's going on?" Hicks asked.

"This." Morgan replied.

On the view screen was a diagram of a large fleet gathering in the Pegasi Delta system.

"What is it?"

"A fleet of a 100 united rebels. They call themselves the United Empire of Planets."

"Whose the emperor."

"Not emperor empress."

A video of Samborn appeared on screen.

"We are the United Empire of Planets. The Infinity is to vacate the Equi sector immediately or you will be destroyed."

"We got this message about an hour ago. The fleet will be battle ready by tomorrow and will be here."

"She's alive!?"

"Yes and now she's got a fleet."

"What does she want with equestria?"

"Probably slaves or using unicorns to power there shields."

"Well then we stand our ground; alert Celestia, prepare Midnight squad and Sierra. We'll see if equestria will help us fight for them. Prep the freelancers as well."

"Yes sir!" Morgan said.

Now we get some action!

Chapter 6: The Thursday war part 1

UNSC Infinity briefing room

August 7th 2728

"I thought you said that you came in peace?" Celestia said.

"Unlike you we are not united as a species. These are another faction; an evil faction that will most likely enslave you and your subjects and then go to war with us!" Hicks said. "We need your help!"

"We have never had to resort to war. The closest was the changeling incursion about a year ago."

"We'll supply you with some battle saddles that we originally designed for dogs but can be changed to use for your kind."

"Do we have to fight?"

"Samborn is ruthless. She wants vengeance against me and will enslave your kind and possibly destroy most of your planet."

"Dash."

"Yes?"

"I am putting you in charge of defense; you will work with Hicks to help defend our right to live!"

Dash did her signature salute and followed Hicks to the armory.

Fleet of the United Empire of planets

En route to Equestria

"The Infinity is not backing off." Foster reported.

"Good." Samborn replied.

"Good?"

"Good, Hicks won't know what hit him."

UNSC firebase (Ponyville Equestria)

The Infinity had sent down a firebase for most of the Equestrian cities. Fillydelphia, Manehattan, Stalliongrad, Canterlot, ect. Tom passed out battle saddles to each member of the royal guard. M6D pistols were passed out to every citizen of Equestria.

Midnight squad was stationed in Ponyville as well as purple team. Aqua and the freelancers were stationed in Canterlot and Azure ops in Manehattan.

"Hey baby." Tucker tried to hit on Nova.

"Shut the fuck up Tucker!"

"Come on don't you need a bit of loving?"

Nova kicks tucker in the nuts.

"Ugh!" Tucker said as he holds his balls and collapses to the ground.

UNSC Infinity

"They're here." Morgan said.

Dozens of Slipspace portals opened. Hundreds of ships exited. The Dashing Loyalty opened fire on the Infinity.

(Heaven and Hell- Black Sabbath)

The plasma torpedoes struck the Infinity's shield. The Infinity fired its PAC gun at the nearest Imperial frigate. The vessel disappeared.

"Weapons free!" Morgan ordered.

An array of Archer missiles, plasma, and nukes rang out from the ship. The Imperial fleet opened fire as well. 5 more human frigates exploded.

"Shields at 95% percent!" Logan reported.

"Launch seraphs!" Morgan ordered.

Hundreds of green seraph fighters flew out of the Infinity. The Imperials replied to that by sending landing parties to the surface and dispatching a super carrier.

"Fire plasma cannons!"

Plasma beams were projected out of the Infinity. A CCS battle cruiser was cut in half.

Dashing Loyalty replied to that by firing off her PAC gun.

"Outer shields at 80%!" Logan reported.

"Riester! Maneuver us into an orbit that matches that super carrier!"

"Maam?"

"Make sure that ship doesn't enter the atmosphere!"

The Infinity fired its engines and blocked the super carrier from following the landing parties to the surface. The super carrier collided with the Infinity and exploded.

(Song end)

"Outer shield at 20% Mid-shield at 90! Inner at 100%!"

"We've got work to do! Tom arm all archer missiles! Riester get us back into a farther orbit!"

Ponyville, Equestria

"Here they come!" Nova said.

Indeed, 5 pelican dropships were now dropping off 10 soldiers of all different species and array of weapons. Midnight and Purple team readied there weapons.

(This ain't a scene it's an arms race- Fallout boy)

Nova fired her rocket launcher at the 3 oncoming brute warriors. They exploded into crispy brute bits. Viper noticed some oncoming jackals inbound to his location so he fired his DMR and killed dem jackals.

Sarge shot a human soldier with his shotgun.

"You just got sarged!"

Tucker jumped onto a soldier and stabbed him in the chest. Caboose moved up and started throwing grenades at the enemy.

"Here take these grenades!"

Simmons fired his battle rifle and Grif fired his SMG. Church tried to snipe from up on top of the fire base but he couldn't hit anything.

"DAMMIT!"

Nova slammed into a soldier with a plasma repeater and grabbed the weapon from his cold dead fingers. She then blew a grunts head off with the energy weapon. Viper took up Churches sniping spot. He sniped the oncoming soldiers. Nova finished off the last few with her rocket launcher. The 3 bodies flew in random directions.

(Song end)

Orbit around Equestria

(You're gonna go far kid- Rainbow Dash version)

The Infinity smashed through the Super Carrier's debris and fired its pulse lasers at the oncoming frigate. The hull melted right off. Another one of the super carriers had unfortunately made it through and was currently above Canterlot. The Infinity fired plasma torpedoes at the Dashing Loyalty. The Dashing loyalty's shields absorbed the plasma.

"Fire again!"

This time with pulse lasers. The enemy destroyer's shields flickered but were restored.

The plasma cannons sliced one of the other super carriers in half. But the other one was above the Infinity it fired its plasma projector.

"BRASE FOR IMPACT!"

The plasma breached the outer and mid shields. The Inner shields were relatively weaker and didn't make it. The plasma cut right through the bio-sphere.

(Song end)

The Infinity returned fire with its plasma canon. But the damage had already been done. Fortunately the emergency shields kicked in and stopped the area from decompressing but everything was on fire.

Canterlot, Equestria

The super carrier was bombing the hell out of Canterlot. Most of the buildings were on fire.

(Halo wars theme)

Aqua team had protected the Princesses as much as they could.

"LUNA! CELESTIA! LET'S GO!" Hicks ordered.

Evacuation was all they could do. Canterlot was in ruins. Hicks got the princesses to the pelican right before the super carrier glassed the royal palace. The palace crumbled as the plasma burned through the city. Thousands of ponies were dying.

"There's only one thing we can do." Celestia said.

"What?"

"We need Twilight and her friends."

"They're all safe in the firebase in Ponyville."

Reports were coming in that 2 covenant carriers had breached the orbital perimeter and were glassing Fillydelphia and Manehattan. Ponyville was one of the only unoccupied cities. Appleoosa was also being spared by the empire.

"Azure and the freelancers are falling back to Ponyville. Manehattan and Filly are toast. Many ponies fled the cites but many were not spared the fire." Hicks explained.

(Song end)

"We need to get the elements of harmony." Celestia said.

"How will those work?"

"They might give that empress a change of heart."

"Well they're in the ruins of Canterlot."

The pelican continued to fly and then enter the air-space around Ponyville which it was now surrounded by hornets and shortsword fighters. The fire base was now upgraded to a fortress. The pelican landed at the air-base. Hicks, Aqua team and the princesses exited the pelican.

Well Samborn sure is evil! Well next chapter will be round 2! What will happen to Blu and Jewel in the bio-sphere? What will happen to Equestria? Find out next chapter!

Chapter 7: The Thursday War p2

Ponyville Firebase

Midnight Squad's barracks

"I still think this sort of action is risky." Viper's AI Boa said.

Boa's hologram was different because it was an actual Boa snake! Nova's AI was known as frost. Frost was a blue AI that had a body similar to Cortana's but she had spiky hair.

"So what! We're going in! That's final! If we can strip this empire of its head then it will be easier to kill the rest as the rest of the roaches scatter."

"I agree." Echo said.

"We're going in!"

Midnight squad walked into the briefing room where Celestia, Hicks, and Sierra were planning a counter-attack.

"Hicks, my team and I are taking a pelican."

"No we're gonna need that pelican."

Nova then kicked over the admiral's chair. Fernando and Anthony restrained Nova. But she broke loose.

"Stop her!" Hicks ordered.

Viper kicked Anthony out of the way.

(Heaven and Hell- Black Sabbath)

Viper and Echo sprinted down the hallway. Azure tried to stop them but they just pushed them out of the way like they were nothing.

The intercom crackled to life. "Do not let Midnight squad escape! Live rounds are authorized."

Midnight squad punched through a blockade of marines. Suddenly the firebase locked down. Midnight was contained by a plasma shield.

(Song end fade out at 3:30)

Hicks walked up to the contained Midnight squad.

"What the hell!" Hicks said.

"We were going to kill that empress. It's our job! We were supposed to neutralize the innie threat as it came our way. And nobody is to get in our way!" Nova replied.

"You are confined to quarters!"

"You think you can keep us here?"

"Yes." Hicks activated a plasma restraint around each of there arms. "You are confined to quarters until I see fit that you are really on our side."

Anthony and Fernando walked in and escorted midnight to quarters.

Cloudsdale, equestria

The war effort was beginning to turn around. The remains of Samborn's fleet which was about 15 ships took cover on the other side of the moon. The Infinity had stopped all but one Super carrier. The downside: Canterlot, Fillydelphia, and Manehattan were in ruins and the last super carrier was heading right toward Cloudsdale. The Infinity could not destroy the last super carrier due to it being too far into Equestria's atmosphere. Anything would either miss or be disintegrated in the atmosphere. SplendidValley was glassed by a carrier and none of the diamond dogs survived. The Zebra Empire tried to retaliate using its semi-advanced technology. But in the end they suffered as much as a crippling blow as Equestria. The griffons also had tried to defend themselves against Samborn's onslaught. But were burned by the plasma weapons that most of the planet was scared from. When the super carrier was said to have been moving towards Cloudsdale Dash acted. She went personally to assist the defense. Fluttershy had gone there as well but had to be yanked along by Dash.

"COME ON WORK THOSE WINGS!" Dash yelled at the other pegasi.

Suddenly the super carrier came into view. Using a mass driver that Hicks had so kindly gave her and Twilight cast a spell on it so that it would float on the clouds.

"OK WE'RE GOING FOR WHAT THE HUMANS CALL THE NOBEL MANEUVER!"

The Nobel maneuver: wait for a covenant ship to charge its glassing beam and fire strait into the glassing port as its charging.

Problem was neither was the covenant ship charging its glassing beam nor was it slowing down.

"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Dash yelled.

The covenant ship had no problem smashing through the cloud city. It began to fire plasma weapons for good measure as it rolled through the city.

A stray plasma projectile hit Dash and she passed out and began to fall back to earth.

"NOO!" Fluttershy said as she raced to save Dash.

UNSC Firebase Ponyville Equestria

"OK so we send in someone to get these "Elements of Harmony" from the Canterlot ruins, go up to the Dashing Loyalty, fire this shit at Samborn, and she will be good?" Hicks recapped the mission.

"In a nutshell, yes." Celestia replied.

"Whose going in?" Hicks asked Sierra.

"Well my team is still securing the perimeter here from those ground troops."

"What about Midnight?" Celestia asked.

"Midnight tried to defy the plan! They were going to steal a pelican and kill Samborn. That's the back up plan if the elements don't work."

"Well it could give them a chance to redeem themselves."

"OK Midnight goes into the occupied Canterlot ruins, grab the elements, and start kicking some Samborn ass!"

"Eeyup!"

UNSC Infinity bio-sphere

The fires had stopped but most of the trees were now charred remains. Many birds were killed but Blu and Jewel escaped the beam and the fires. Pedro was in extensive care due to the burns he had got from the raging fires. Nico accompanied Pedro but he was unharmed. Rafael, his wife, and his kids were all on the other side of the bio-sphere and was safe from the fires. The club was the epicenter of the glassing breach. Infinity and beyond was no more.

Cloudsdale

(Falling Towards the sky- Jeff Williams (Red vs Blue season 9 soundtrack)

Dash was falling from the firry ruins of Cloudsdale. Fluttershy was attempting to save her. The covenant super carrier was tearing through the cloud city. The rainbow factory exploded in a light spectrum shattering explosion that smashed up the hull of the covenant ship.

Fluttershy was almost to Dash but Dash was also getting close to the ground. Suddenly A flaming pelican spiraled down to the ground. Fluttershy finally caught up with Dash and slowed her down about 2 Inches from the ground.

(Song end)

Ponyville Firebase

"Sir," Logan said. "I believe that we have under estimated the empire's capability."

"What makes you say that?" Hicks asked.

"Fifty more ships of all sizes have joined the imperial fleet. The Dashing Loyalty is emitting a beacon."

"We'll need to get the elements and fast!"

Next chapter will be about Midnight squad retrieving the elements from the ruins of Canterlot.

Sorry I haven't updated I've been working on my Machinima The Awakening Project. Well enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 9: The elements

Canterlot ruins

August 9th 2728

Echo jumped over the overturned stone brick. Nova and Viper followed. Canterlot; the once great capitol of Equestria was now destroyed. Most of the civilian homes were charred or ashes. The sky was filled with the ash clouds. The ashes were now falling out similar to a volcanic ash cloud. The Royal castle was mostly melted into a heaping mass of devastation. The once downtown region was nothing but a smoldering trail of semi-melted stone.

"50,000 ponies used to live here; now it's a ghost town!" Viper said.

"Viper! Quit quoting old video games and get over here!" Nova said.

The Canterlot archives were barely spared the devastation.

"Well, the elements are said to be in there."

Suddenly a couple of ODST pods fell out of the sky. The pod doors opened and revealed 2 ODSTs and Caleb who was now the Empress's advisor. He was wearing custom armor that could rival the FREELANCER suits.

"I believe that there are indeed weapons of power inside of the temple!" Caleb motioned for the ODSTs to raid the place.

(Beat it- Fallout boy)

Echo used his concealed knives to murder the ODSTs.

"You wanna fight?" Caleb pulls out an Energy sword. "You gotta fight!"

Echo extended his concealed blades to that of a sword.

Caleb swung first but Echo blocked it at an instant. Caleb struggled to hold his sword compared to Echo's super strength. Suddenly Eli appeared.

"Hello." The glowing orange AI said.

Caleb looked at him and Echo pushed Caleb to the ground.

"Thanks E." Echo said.

"I do believe that is the innie that stabbed you in the throat."

He was correct. Caleb was the one who muted Echo.

Echo then used his M6D to kill Caleb.

(Song end)

"Alright now that that's out of the way. Let's head to the archives." Nova said.

Cloudsdale ruins

The parts of Cloudsdale that weren't reduced back to water vapor and ashes were strewn all over the region.

The UNSC had set up a recovery center. Dash had broken her front right leg and her left wing. Other Pegasi had encountered plasma burns, bruises and broken appendages.

Dash had now awakened. Hicks was there to counsel the loss of Cloudsdale.

"What happened?" She asked.

"A covenant super carrier slammed through Cloudsdale. Current casualties are up to 50 from Cloudsdale."

"It's…. gone?"

"Cloudsdale is no more."

Dash then went into a depressive state. Cloudsdale had been her home for many years and now it was gone.

UNSC Infinity

The Infinity had destroyed 20 of the new ships and jammed the signal operation HARMONY would begin after Midnight got a hold of the elements. The Dashing loyalty had tried to engage the Infinity twice but those ended in defeat for the Loyalty.

Canterlot Archives

Echo kicked down the charred door and entered the Archives Nova and Viper followed. The thing was they were surrounded by Innie marines. They were in a lobby surrounded by 3 balconies filled with marines.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Said an ODST with a turret. "Stand down and you will not be harmed!"

"Fuck off!" Nova went into action.

(Dance Dance- Fallout boy)

Nova pulled out dual SMGs and fired at one balcony full of marines. Snipers started sniping. Soldiers started firing. (A/N Haters started Hating) Nova swift fully dodged the oncoming resistance. Echo pulled out a rocket launcher and blew one balcony down.

Boa left Viper's armor and possessed one of the marines and started beating the crap out of the other soldiers. Viper put a shot in between there eyes. Nova used her special cryo grenade and froze the 3rd balcony in ice. Echo finished them off by blasting there frozen bodies with his rocket launcher.

(Song end)

All of the enemies were dead except for the leader which was injured.

"Ugh uh!"

"What was thought about not being harmed?" Nova kicked the soldier down. "Ok let's get the elements out of the vault.

Echo's mind

Alphega. Alphega was the main AI of the project. Based off of the supreme admiral's mind. All of the Mercenary AIs were split off of Alphega; Halsey had it planned from the freelancer program. Frost was his Bravery. Boa was his accuracy. And Eli? Eli was his Vengeance.

Suddenly Eli detected a hack into his system.

"Ha ha ha!" The entity said.

Canterlot Archives

"Hey Echo are you ok you seem distant." Nova asked.

"I'm fine." But he really wasn't he was slowly beginning to loose his sanity.

They had finally made it to the elements vault. The glass in the room was shattered and all of the wallpaper was charred.

Celestia had said that only those who were worthy can enter it. Nova stepped forward. The door opened and revealed a jewel laced box. Nova retrieved this box and pulled out her radio.

"We've got the elements please pick us up!"

UNSC Infinity Hanger

Twilight, Dash, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack had gathered in the hanger along with 2 groups of marines, Azure Ops, Purple Team, Anthony, Fernando, and Admiral Hicks. Hicks was now dressed in his MJOLNIR MK IX armor.

"OK we will now begin operation HARMONY. Azure and Purple will be attacking Satan's Vengeance The Halcyon ship and these two teams of Marines will attack the Here comes the Calvary. Aqua and you six will help us attack the Dashing Loyalty along with Midnight. We will try to save those 3 ships but we will not hesitate to destroy them if need be. The same goes if the elements don't work on Samborn. Hoo rah?"

"Hoo Rah!" Everybody and everypony said.

Everyone climbed into there respective pods.

UNSC Infinity

The Infinity turned towards the rebel fleet. 2 Frigates tried to attack the ship but the Infinity fired its pulse lasers and peeled the hull right off those ships. The boarding crafts left the Infinity and zoomed towards the 3 ships that were being returned to the UNSC.

Well that's the chapter see ya next time! Don't forget to review!

Chapter 10: Operation Harmony

Boarding craft 1 en route to the Dashing Loyalty

August 9th 2728

"I think I'm gonna be sick!" Anthony yelled.

"You shouldn't have got drunk!" Fernando replied.

"I always get drunk before a battle!"

"You're always drunk!"

"SHUT UP!" Hicks ordered.

The craft breached the energy shield surrounding the Dashing Loyalty and drilled into the hull. The hatch opened Hicks was first to jump out of the pod followed by Anthony and Fernando.

"Fernando! Pull out the schematics!"

Fernando activated his Tactical Tac pad and pulled up a map of the Dashing Loyalty.

"OK we're about here." Fernando pointed to the air-lock corridors. "And the bridge is here."

"Alright, you six. Follow us and stay low!" Hicks ordered.

"For harmony!" Twilight said.

"For Cloudsdale!" Dash said.

"For the after party!" Pinkie said.

"For equestria!" Rarity said.

"For uh apples!" Applejack said.

"FOR THE PLANET!" Fluttershy said.

"Yeeeeee!" Anthony said.

Suddenly 5 patrols came around the corridor.

"HOLY SHIT!" They yelled.

Anthony put a DMR round right in between there eyes.

"Let's move!" Hicks ordered.

Suddenly the corridor was filled with soldiers.

(Falling towards the sky- John Williams)

Anthony started sprinting he stabbed one of them in the eye. Hicks chucked a grenade at the group of soldiers. Fernando used rockets and Dash bucked one of them to the floor. Suddenly Midnight's boarding craft smashed through the wall and Echo got out and jumped on top of 2 of the soldiers. Nova jumped over Echo and fired her SMGs.

Anthony tossed a Molotov at the soldiers that he had made with the Brazilian ale that he didn't drink. Fernando fired 3 rockets into the crowd. All of the enemy soldiers in the corridor were dead.

(Song end)

"Sweet!" Fernando said.

"Let's keep moving! Hicks said.

ISS Satan's vengeance

Two soldiers were patrolling the hallways of the imperial ship.

"So what did you think of that Grifball episode last night?" One of them asked.

"It was bull shit!"

Suddenly the corridor exploded and a boarding craft appeared and opened. Sierra shot out of the pod and shot the two soldiers in the head with his M6D. Weston, Doc, the other Doc (The one from purple team), and the other members of purple team.

"Ok you simulation troopers stay here! We'll take the bridge!" Sierra said.

"You tried to pull this shit last time!" Grif said. "There's no fucking way we're gonna let you and your team have all the fun!"

"Fine! You guys can sweep the ship."

"Fuck you I'm going to the bridge with you!" Church said.

"Fine!"

Church took point with his DMR. Sarge led the red team and Caboose into the living quarters.

UNSC Infinity

"The team we sent to the Here comes the Calvary have all been slaughtered." Logan reported.

"Begin bombardment of that vessel." Morgan ordered.

The Infinity moved into position and boiled the Here comes the Calvary into globs of molten metal with its plasma weaponry.

Echo's mind

"Kill them!" The entity that was residing inside of Echo said.

"We need there fragments!" Eli said.

Echo was slowly beginning to loose control of his own mind and body.

ISS Dashing Loyalty outside of the bridge

Hicks pulled his knife out of the eye of the soldier he just stabbed.

"Anthony! Hack that console. Move control of the ship to there!"

"Can do!" Anthony got busy to hacking the terminal.

"Open the door!" Hicks ordered.

The door opened long enough for only Hicks to get through. Hicks pulled out his pistol and shot the bridge officers in the head. It was just him and Samborn.

"Well! Well! Well! Hicks again! What have you come to kill me?"

"No just to fight you."

Hicks raised his fists. Samborn did the same.

(In our final hour- Go Radio)

Hicks let Samborn kick first out of respect that she was a woman. But as soon as she kicked Hicks in the face it was on. Hicks kicked her in the chest and she went flying into the command console. She sprinted back at him and uppercut him. Hicks kicked her in the head as he was flying away from her uppercut. Hicks landed and knocked her against the wall. She moved out of the dent she made in the wall and punched Hicks's tooth out.

"Just like old times no?"

She responded with another kick in the head. Hicks punched her 3 times in the chest and she collapsed to the floor.

(Song end)

The door finally opened. Twilight, Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Azure stepped through the now opened door.

"Formation! GO!" Hicks ordered.

The 6 ponies went into formation and started to float in mid-air wearing the jewel blazoned elements of harmony.

"Da fuck is this shit?" Samborn asked.

The rainbow energy lashed out at Samborn. It wrapped around her and then let her go. Hicks had his MA5B ready if she wasn't changed.

She tried to stand up but she collapsed to the floor.

"Why?" She asked.

"Why what?"

"Why did you leave me to die on Harvest."

"A skyscraper crashed on top of your head! We didn't think anyone could survive that!"

"What about what you said back in training about me being a bitch?"

"I was young and foolish. You've proven that if you set your mind to it just about anything can happen."

"What happens now?"

"Welcome back to the UNSC Captain Mandi-666."

Echo's mind

"NOW WHILE THE TIME IS RIGHT!"

"We need her AI and his AI."

"FOR ALPHEGA!"

ISS Satan's vengeance

Sierra shot the captain of the innie ship. He fell to the cold metal floor. Dead.

"Bridge is secure. Turning control to the Infinity." Sierra said.

Sierra sealed the bridge and decompressed the ship. Purple and Azure were safe on the bridge. The Innies however…

It's done that cake is done! See ya next chapter!

Chapter 11: New friends and new enemies

Echo's mind

August 10th 2728

"CHAOS!"

"Alphega!"

Eli and the entity known as Discord tore Echo's mind apart piece by piece.

"CHAOS AND DISHARMONY!"

"Reconstruct Alphega!"

Echo's mind shattered and was now under the control of Eli and Discord.

UNSC Infinity

3 hours after the battle of the Dashing Loyalty

"Echo?" Nova asked.

As fast as lightning Echo pushed Nova to the floor and pulled out his pistol. Hicks quickly kicked the pistol out of his hands.

"What the hell?!"

Echo slammed Hicks out the bridge door. The ponies followed him, Anthony and Fernando tried to stop Echo but he tossed them both out the door along with Samborn. He closed the door and left Nova and Viper to there fates.

Eli's hologram and one of a Draconequus appeared around Echo's head. When he moved his hand over Nova's head Frost's hologram joined his 2 holograms.

"Frost?"

Echo just emitted a low growl. Eli circled around Echo's head.

"For Alphega!"

Echo swiped his hand over Viper. Boa was now part of Echo's collective.

"Leave." Echo opened the blast doors and tossed Nova and Viper out of the blast door and sealed it.

"What the hell just happened?" Fernando asked.

"Echo just took our AIs and there was some weird hologram next to the other AI holograms." Nova explained.

"Whatever brief us when we get off this rust bucket!"

The ship shuttered.

"That's the thrusters! He's turned control back to the bridge!" Samborn said.

"Shit! He's taking the ship!" Fernando said.

"Get to the boarding crafts!" Hicks ordered.

"Too far!" Samborn said. "Escape pods!"

Everyone followed Samborn to the air-lock where about 25 escape pods were located.

ISS Satan's Vengeance

"Decompression complete!" Weston reported.

"Alright pull us into the same orbit as…"

"Sir!" Doc (Azure) cut Sierra off. "The Dashing Loyalty is jumping to slipspace!"

"What?"

"It's preparing to jump!"

"We're detecting an escape pod."

"Contact the Infinity. Have them pick it up."

Echo's Mind

"Set a course for Reach! The AIs!" Eli said.

"Prepare for the CHAOS! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"We are reconstructing the Alphega AI!" Frost said.

"We'll need the AIs." Boa said.

Echo's mind was a fragment of what it was before. Echo's actual personality and his actual mind had been pushed aside now being controlled by AIs and alien entities.

UNSC Infinity

2 hours later

"So what exactly happened to Echo?" Hicks asked Nova.

"He took our AIs. He now has all 3 of our AIs and maybe a fourth. I'm not sure he gave me quite a blow to the head."

"A fourth AI?"

"It was a strange hologram. The head of one of the Equestrians and body parts of nearly everything."

"That is all." Hicks said.

Nova left the room. Suddenly the door bell rang.

"Come in."

It was Wash.

"Hello Washington."

"Sir." He stood at attention.

"At ease."

Wash sat down on the other end of table.

"What do you think about all of this?"

"I believe this is very similar to the freelancer program."

"I approved Project MERCENARY and was willing to give them more than 1 AI for use. Halsey just asked for one. Well she asked for an AI creation system. I'm not sure if this Alphega is based from Halsey or someone else."

"I believe that Echo is the next Agent Maine."

"Agent Maine? As in the meta?"

"Yes."

"You are dismissed agent Washington."

Wash left the room.

Official report on the destruction of most of Equestria

Fillydelphia, Canterlot, Manehattan, Cloudsdale, and Stalliongrad all received major damage. Cloudsdale is a complete loss. Canterlot and Manehattan can be reconstructed. Stalliongrad received minor damage and can be in complete operation within 1 week.

The humans have saved us from well other humans. This UNSC is welcome to Equestria. The insurrection is not.

The UNSC has offered to help rebuild the cities lost but I respectfully declined.

This report was filled out by Princess Celestia.

UNSC Infinity

2 weeks after Dashing Loyalty's escape

"We've traced the slipspace trail to an unknown system not in our data-base. It seems that this planet that the Dashing Loyalty has set itself upon is or was habited by humanoid life." Logan explained.

"Set a course."

"WAIT!"

Hicks turned around and saw Rainbow Dash coming out of the elevator as well as her friends.

"What are you doing here?"

"We're coming with you?"

"You're the bearers of the elements of harmony! Doesn't Celestia need you?"

"She approves and wants us to study the realm outside of Equestria."

"Then you're officially drafted. Welcome to the UNSC; Captain Dash of the UNSC marines. Dr. Twilight Sparkle. Private first class Applejack. Sgt. Pinkie Pie. And Medical officer Fluttershy."

"Sir!" Dash saluted.

"At ease. Karen! Set a course for the unknown system! We will try and capture Echo! If we can't capture him then we will have no choice but to kill him."

"Yes sir."

The Infinity jumped into slipspace and left the Equestrian system.

Well the end of this story but the next story shall be quite interesting.
