Chapter 4: Seperation

Daniels and Keyes had been arguing for half an hour over whether they should send UNSC down there.

"I said no; it's my job to keep this place safe. Nothing you say will convince me otherwise." Daniels stayed with his ideas

"And I said we can't rebuild the place without the manpower on board."

"Do you think that if they mistrust us enough that they'll let us bring a few thousand guns down? No; we have to keep them safe until they can do it. Only when they wish for the help I will supply it; only in small amounts."

Keyes sighed; this was getting nowhere.

"Fine; but first we need to get contact with the other UNSC"

"That's impossible; we're cut off. We can only stay here and keep this place safe."

"Then how can we supply our troops? You see how bad our ship is at the moment."

"I made this ship with an ammo factory; you need it you'll have to ask me or Dmitri."

Dmitri gave the handshake gesture to the other ship; then he pulled back.

"Sir; I saw that they have no onboard AI; I think we may have to supply one."

"1 call me either Joseph or Daniels; 2 I think they have something else in store for Equestria than they let on." Daniels accused

"I was planning to build a UNSC Factory down there." Keyes Conceded

"No; nothing that will pollute the planet."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes; supply pads are acceptable because the supplies are being made up here."

"it's not fine; I will do as I wish." Keyes growled

"Did you forget what I said? I will protect this land; and you have a Nova bomb in your landing bay."

"You don't get it do you? I will send troops no matter what."

"HARVEST! LAUNCH PODS TO Ponyville!" Daniels ordered his friend

"Done! You want to get down there?"

"Yes; Dmitri; I trust you know what to do up here?"

"I will do what must be done; Daniels." Dmitri reported

"Everyone to a pod; Young; I need you to fly the royal ponies down there." Daniels barked out orders

"SIR YES SIR!" The UNSC chorused

"I'd say you got yourself backed into a corner; don't you think Keyes?" Daniels left him with a parting thought before going into the Launch bay.

Daniels strapped himself in; relaying the basics of a drop to Morris.

"If and when you crash you may have to use the launch bolts." Daniels instructed; gesturing to the green bolts on the front panel

"Get it? Good; troopers get ready to drop!"

Daniels and the others dropped out of the ship; the ozone quickly hampered their speed

"Okay; we may have to avoid any fire from those bogeys back there; I recommend-" Daniels almost finished that sentence before he got hit

"I lost major thruster three! I'm losing control of this damn thing!"

Daniels pod had begun to spin; sending him far out of Equestrian borders

"Harvest; if I don't make it; keep them safe." Daniels said resignedly

"I'll be sure to sir" Harvest responded

Daniels was screaming all the way down.

The familiar feeling of pain awaited Daniels as his eyes groggily tried to open; with little success he attempted to look around.

"The hell; where am I?" Daniels whispered to himself

"Metal man! Have you begun to awaken?" a un-familiar voice asked

"Not really"

"I hope I can be of some assistance! Perhaps you will tell me of why you are in a metal egg?"

"I'm not in an egg; this is my pod."

Daniels opened his eyes and saw he WAS in his pod

"What is this pod you speak of?"

"Give me a moment"

Daniels pressed a few keys on his control panel and there was a *HISS* as the pressurized air escaped; the door fell open; on the other end stood a very shocked looking young man, his outfit was that of a squire; his eyes were green and his hair was brown; he was slightly thin and rather tall.

"what is this?"

"This is how I get around"

"Seems like a test of strength to carry this around" the young man commented

"Never mind; do you know where we are?"

"We are in Kingdomia! The greatest kingdom in all of the land!"

"I have never heard of it."

The young man's jaw dropped

"You know not of Kingdomia?"

"I know that I need to get going; my friends are in danger."

The young man brightened up

"You need help getting to them? I hope I can assist."

"Yeah you can help; just is there any laws about outsiders?"

"Yes; they may never leave the kingdom borders."

Daniels groaned

"I am not going to stay here; my friends are OUTside the border"

The squire's face turned to one of horror

"Then you are not a local?"

"No; I just need to get going."

"I am the young squire Desmond; I shall need to take you to the court."

"I'll get my things; then I am leaving."

Desmond shook his head

"You cannot do that! Do you know what would occur if you attempted to leave?"

"They would fail to stop me?" Daniels cracked

"No; they would kill you."

"That's not likely; I have things that they can't handle."

"You are good with your sword then?"

"My what?"

"I see your sword; it reminds me of-" Desmond leaped back

"Are you who I think you are?!"

"Who do you think I am?"

"You must be the dark wizard!"

"The who?"

"You are not him? But then who are you?"

"I am Daniels; you best help me get out of here."

"NO! the dark wizard will kill you."

"I have no idea who this wizard is; he just sounds like a thug who shows off." Daniels remembered the great and powerful Trixie

"He can make things fly!" Desmond was fearful

"yeah? So can I."

Desmond looked hopeful, "You are the one who has come to free us?"

"I just got here; if you truly need the help I guess I can spare some time."

(He couldn't actually spare any time; he had to go but he didn't know that just yet.)

"Thank the powers!"

Desmond dragged Daniels off to a small dwelling; inside was a trapdoor

"Hurry; before they come to inspect the site."

Daniels nodded and went into the trapdoor; inside he saw something he never expected to see again.

Authors note: I have done something else to annoy you; why? Because as a writer it is my job to torture my readers; but would I really do that? BTW; I am making a MLP Minecraft crossover; but it won't be out for a while. Skarfly out. Also expect to see a certain time travelling duo ahead; it wouldn't be the same without them.
