Prologue

(Forerunner war theme- halo legends origins I)

We'll start at 100,000 years ago. The forerunners were beginning there plan to store samples of life to protect them from the halo effect. A shuttle under the command of the Librarian was carrying some animal specimens from Earth. This vessel ran on RSN as UNSC scientists have dubbed it today. RSN stands for Rainbow Skynet radiation a powerful variant of SN radiation.

The forerunner ship suffered an engine failure and had to exit slip-space. It ejected its animal specimens to the surface of a nearby planet. The vessel followed suit and detonated on an island in the middle of the Ocean. It detonated with a massive force. But the blast never left the Island but it emitted a blast of RSN that would cover the planet in lethal levels for a year.

Most of the species from the vessel were either destroyed or mutated. But out of the ashes came a new species. The ponies.

The RSN had given them as well as other creatures that survived Intelligence. There were 3 subspecies: unicorns, Pegasi, and earth ponies. The island where the forerunner ship landed would be known as the crescent Island. The RSN would crystalize in huge formations there over the next 100,000 years.

The Librarian against the wishes of the Didact decided to catalogue this species with the rest of them.

After 94,000 years the forerunner vessels reseeded the pony civilizations as they were before. But they soon broke into 3 bickering tribes based on the different subspecies.
These species required one another. Because as this is already 1,000 years after returning the solar system was out of whack. The sun after being damaged by a forerunner conflict did not have the capacity to have planets revolve around it. So the more powerful species the unicorns decided to move the sun and moon using telekinetic abilities granted to them by the RSN blast.

While the RSN blast had also damaged the weather patterns of the planet the Pegasi had the ability to control the weather. But the unicorns and pegasi needed food and that went to the Earth ponies. They ordered food to continue doing there respected jobs.
Mutant creatures began to break apart these loose negotiations by freezing the entire region which is now called 'the frozen north'. After bringing the tribes together through friendship they began to construct a great nation starting with the Capital of Canterlot. This nation would be known ad Equestria as well as the planet's name in the future. This is where the unicorns would control the astronomical cycles. The Pegasi then constructed Cloudsdale a city in the clouds and Manehattan was built by the Earth ponies to thrive on farming.

The country expanded over the years as Fillydelphia, Las Pegasus, and ponyville were built as the country expanded.

But at the 4,500 years since the reseeding a dictator took over the country. This creature was forged at the crescent Island where RSN levels were highest. His name was Discord.
Discord ruled the land and used his power to cause Chaos and disharmony he ruled for 500 years before he was overthrown.

In Manehattan Celestia and Luna were born and were raised underground because they were alicorns. Alicorns could both fly and had magic. They were basically a pegasi and Unicorn combined.

(Halo 2 theme)

They travelled to the Crescent Island and retrieved six crystals of different color and combined them to form the elements of harmony. They then overthrew Discord by turning him to stone.

After that they gained control of the country. Celestia and Luna would battle the evils of King Sombra at the crystal empire. Sombra was defeated and banished to the frozen north.

At year 5,000 post reseeding Luna became jealous of her sister. As Celestia controlled the damaged star's movements they were revered like gods. Luna controlled the moon. While ponies basked in the day light they shunned Luna's night. She became angry and tried to overthrow Celestia. Celestia retaliated by using the power of the elements of harmony against her sister and banished her to the moon.

For the next thousand years ponies lived in peace. Until the return of nightmare moon which was Luna's alter ego when she tried to overthrow Celestia. She declared there would be an eternal night.

But Celestia's prized student Twilight Sparkle fought back with her friends Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy. They each used one of the 6 elements of harmony to fight Nightmare Moon as well as Discord in the future. They fought many evils that had arisen from years ago.

So thats Equestrian history 101. But half of that you probably already know so I'll tell you about a friend of mine. His name is Terminal Velocity.
Terminal Velocity worked in the Equestrian Military. He wasn't Royal guard but he had experience in the military.

Equestrian military was formed after Discord's attack to Equestria. Small skirmishes with a couple Zebra tribes also sparked a need for the military. Cities like hoofington were built to be military strongholds. But most of the military was laid off and on demand to be drafted in times of distress. Or they were royal guard or Everfree rangers.

The Everfree rangers were a group of ponies who keep the creatures of the Everfree forest from terrorizing the countryside.

He currently works security for the Celestia's School for gifted unicorns but he took a vacation to see his old friend Twilight Sparkle.

Terminal Velocity was an Aqua Pegasus with a blond mane. He had a marefreind named Rain Chaser who was purple and also had a blond mane. But he decided to take a vacation and that vacation would change Equestrian History FOREVEEEEEEER!
