Ragnarok. One of the most beautiful and majestic maps in Halo 4.

The map was settled in a remote valley surrounded by mostly cliffs with trees and snow covering them and the ground they were planted on. There was a large Forerunner wall set in-between two cliffs in the center that seemed to cut off some unknown area of the map. Across from the massive wall on the other side was a crashed Pelican dropship. No one knows how it got there, but it made excellent cover, and a good spot for sniping off enemy players. There were two Forerunner spires that lined up symmetrically with eachother on the wider edges of the valley. Both of them were bases for two separate teams; Red, and Blue.

The red team spawned at the spire where a beautiful waterfall poured down a mighty cliff into a meandering stream that flowed through the entire gorge to an ocean where the blue team spire stood. Each base had two gravity lifts. The middle lift flung players of both teams into the center regions of the map in hopes of grabbing the M6 Grindell/ Galileian Nonlinear Rifle; or Spartan Laser for short was dropped. The side lifts had two different areas. The reds were flung into the stream where a naturally formed rock tunnel formation stood while the blues were flung into a small land-based forest. Both side grav-lifts led to a small open field where a mounted M247 heavy machine gun turret rested. In the lower levels of each base, a SRS 99-S5 sniper rifle materialized in a ordinance case that exploded open.

Each base contained the following vehicle:

* M12 FAV Warthog Jeep

* Two M247 Ultra-Light Mongoose ATVs

* HRUNTING/ YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System Mantis Walker

* T-32 RAV Ghost Scouting Unit

* T-26 GSA Banshee Flier

A very intense game of BTB Infinity Slayer was currently taking place. The blue team was loosing 300-700. One player saw the Banshee respawn back at the base and made a dash for it. He knew if he could get the Banshee, he could provide local air support for his team and hopefully turn the tables on the red team.

Before he was in mere inches of the aircraft, a camping teammate sprinted from the lower level of the base and commandeered the Banshee before he could.

"sry fag0t, bansh33s min3", said the rude player who stole the Banshee.

"What the fuck dude? I wanted it!" the player yelled angrily.

"2 bad s0 sad"

This rude player was none other than Chief. It's mostly thanks to him that his team is loosing. Chief always cost his team matches because of his lack of skill with weapons and aiming. He mostly went for the power weapons to help him achieve kills more easily, even through for more smarter players; power weapons are used for taking down heavy armor or to cut down a small group of foot soldiers. For Chief through, he used them on a single player like all no-skilled noobs do.

Chief was lazily listing the Banshee to either the left or right which made him a easy target for attentive enemies who immediately opened fire on him.

Chief tried dropping a fuel rod on one of the reds, but missed rather badly.

"g0ddammit" Chief swore.

Then, a single red player took hold of the mounted turret and began firing on Chief's Banshee which was quickly becoming damaged.

As usual Chief made the dumbest decision. He pointed his Banshee directly at the gunner and was prepared to drop another fuel rod on him. Since the gunner was stationary, Chief knew he could easily be picked off by a single fuel rod drop.

Before Chief could at least accurately line up his shot, his Banshee was destroyed in mere seconds.

"M0TH3RFUCK3R!1@1! ST0P U SING HAX!1!", Chief raged and flung the remote hard down on the sofa.

"He wasn't hacking Chief, it was your own stupidity that cost you a Banshee," Arby stated from the kitchen area that was directly located behind Chief's gaming area. "Have you completely forgotten that the Banshee has three maneuverable functions? The boost, barrel-roll, and loop-de-loop? "

"i bar31 r0ll3d @ l00p3d my p3nis thr3w ur mom last nite. an i l3t 0ut quit3 a b00st 2. lololololololol"

"Good one Chief, even through I'm surprised your still thinking about my made up mother when you already rutted Rainbow Dash a while ago. What happened?"

"h3r s3cks isnt as gud as ur moms. wh3nev3r we fuck, i imagine ur moms s3xy fece and h0t ta1a 1as"

"Wouldn't you think Rainbow Dash would kick your ass if she found out you were mentally cheating on her?"

"w3 r fri3nds with b3n3fits dumba$$, jst like u and app13fap"

"Applejack and I aren't friends with benefits Chief, we're in a serious romantic relationship! That's why I'm baking a cake in celebration of our three month anniversary!"

"hahahahahahahha, u r s0 ghey! r331 m3n dont c00k. teh bitch3s r supp0s3d 2 c00k 4 us"

"It's a way of showing true passion and dedication for love, Chief. It's not fair if the mare expresses all the love and gets nothing in return from the stallion. That's one of the rules for having a long lasting relationship that could eventually lead into marriage."

"butt u 2 hav own1y b33n t0g3th3r 4 3 m0nths."

"True, but to me, three months feels like something to celebrate. I know a proper anniversary happens one year after the relationship becomes official, but I want to surprise her early."

"jst giv3 her ur dick n a b0x. thet wi11 surpris3 h3r ear1y. of c0urse sh3 may b33 turn3d off of h0w tiny and ug1y it l00ks. rofl!1"

"You do not know my penis size Chief and you never will! Plus I'm not going to let you get involved into our sex life either. It's our privacy!"

"w/e," Chief said annoyed and put the controller back in his hoofs.

Arby just sighed and got back to work on making his cake. To make it special, he was putting apple ingredients into the mix. Thanks to being a part time baker at Sugarcube Corner, Arby was an excellent cook and baker.

Since he had a proper life now, Arby had little to no time for playing video games but he didn't care. He loved getting out of the house and mingling with other ponies. When he was still an action figure in Jon's apartment, all he ever did was waste time playing video games alone, or with Chief who barely gave him a turn. Arby wanted a change in his life, but it was so hard with Chief around, and being half a foot tall. Both of them have been trying desperately to make friends online, but they always got with the wrong crowd. As a result, they've been responsible for breaking the law and causing death in their wake. The only friend Arby has ever made in his previous life was a human girl named Claire, but know she was gone forever. Not because she hated him. After Arby and Claire had one last online conversation on Halo: Reach, Chief blew up the apartment killing him and Arby while the humans that lived there survived because they evacuated. Their owner, Jon was safe too because he wasn't even on the premises.

Arby first thought there was no afterlife awaiting he and Chief when they died, but they were wrong. They were mysteriously sent to Equestria as a place for final resting. It was unintended but Arby and Chief loved it there. Of course Chief continuously stuck to his old ways of playing Halo all day and harassing online players. Sometimes Rainbow Dash would cove over to join him after practicing her aerial feats. They would both get drunk and both harass and troll players online; then indulge in drunken sex. Apparently both Chief and RD owed Applejack big time from the raid they did on her apple cider cellar a few months back. RD already owed her pay to AJ, while Chief still hasn't coughed up one single bit because he refuses to find employment around Ponyville. It seemed playing Halo was the only thing that mattered to him, even after Arby and AJ kept giving him lectures about how important work was to help enrich the lives and confidence of each individual pony; but as usual, Chief refused to see reason.

Video game consoles have been a huge hit around Ponyville and Equestria thanks to Arby and Chief who were the only ones who introduced them. After Arby and Chief were properly settled in Ponyville, they payed a visit to Princess Celestia who wanted to see them. She was very curious about this new form of entertainment, and wanted more information about it; also it would silence Cheif's complaining about a lack of Xbox and Halo.

Arby shared the high-tech systems of every video game console that came from their world with the princess and she seemed very intrigued by all the information she was receiving. She agreed that manufacturing factories would be built in order to develop the consoles. This was indeed a new kind of industrial age for Equestria, but thankfully it was made to be non-pollutant because the princesses still wanted their land to be beautiful and have clean air.

The development of controllers varied. For the ponies who couldn't properly grasp a controller like a pegasus or an earth pony, the controllers mostly consisted of medium sized buttons with various letters that could easily be pushed with hoofs. For unicorns or alicorns like Princess Luna for instance, were given the basic controllers from Arby and Cheif's world because they could use their magic to hold the controller and work every button, or trigger on it.

As for the development of the games, they were simply wished for by a magical artifact located somewhere in Canterlot Castle. Arby knew Chief was too stupid to make a proper wish, so he took the liberty upon himself to make it. Thanks to Arby's intellect on wishing, the wish had no drawbacks at all. He also wished whenever a new game was released in their former world, it would magically appear in Equestria's video game stores that were also brought into the picture of new things. It felt like home to both Arby and Chief.

A few moments have passed before a knocking sound came at Arby and Cheif's home.

"Chief could you please get that? I'm in the middle of frosting the cake right now," Arby said to Chief who was still transfixed on the TV screen.

"sry butt im n teh m3dd1e of a match rite nao," Chief replied not breaking his gaze from the screen.

"Great Celestia Chief! Can't you just stop playing that game for ten fucking seconds to simply answer a door? Believe me I think your teammates can do fine without you for that long!" Arby snapped impatiently.

"k fne" Chief huffed and trotted furiously toward the door.

When Chief opened the door, he saw Twilight Sparkle standing there with a smile on her face, or at least she was until Chief happened to answer the door.

"wtf do u want?" Chief asked annoyed.

"It's nice to see you to Chief," Twilight replied indifferently and trotted in past Cheif. Just like Arby, she was used to Cheif's ethics and shook off his cruelty with sarcasm. The same thing with the rest of her friends. It doesn't take long before there is tolerance toward Chief, considering the fact he's as dimwitted as a rock.

"Hello, Twilight. What brings you here?"" Arby asked appearing from the kitchen.

Twilight's smile resumed because she appreciated Arby's well-mannered personality and pleasantness. He was always willing to lend a helping hoof to anypony who needed his help around Ponyville.

"Hi Arby, I've come to give you both a special invite to visit my brother, Shining Armor and his wife, Cadence who is also my sister in-law. They both rule the Crystal Empire together; of course my brother is also captain of the royal guard there. They are very interested in meeting you both," Twilight explained.

"Why Twilight, we will be honored. I would love to see the other sights Equestria has, and by the sound of that name; this kingdom must be very beautiful and full of wondrous scenery."

"Your very correct Arby. It also has unique history, and where me and my friends have had a couple of interesting and exciting experiences, but I'll think I'll tell you on the train ride there. Also I think it would be the perfect spot for you and Applejack's anniversary."

"its ownly b33n 3 fucking m0nths" Chief stated disgusted.

Both Arby and Twilight ignored his statement and carried on with the conversation.

"I strongly agree with you Twilight. I've been meaning to take Applejack to a nice place outside of Ponyville for this occasion. Sure she would've loved Applelooza, but I imagine the perfect spot to be more beautiful and full of colors. Also a place filled with a lot of history like you said."

"I'm glad your so much into history and culture like I am," Twilight said with sparkling eyes. She secretly wished sometimes that Arby was her special somepony because if his IQ; but she highly respected the bond and trust between Arby and Applejack. She still had eyes for Flash Sentry, but still wasn't sure if a relationship between them was possible because they lived so far apart from one another.

"w0w i didn't r331iz3 it was 3pic n3rd tiem lol"

Arby trotted over to the electrical outlet powering the Xbox; he then pulled the cable out using his hoof.

"H3Y WTF GIV3S!?1!  D:<"

"Sorry Chief but it's time to give the Xbox a long deserved rest. We're going on a trip too the Crystal Empire to meet Twilight's brother and his wife."

"i dun gav3 2 shits ab0ut a chri$$ ta11 m3th impire. whets teh mott0 oever th3r n e wh3y? SM0KE M3TH 3V3RYDEY! rofl"

Twilight began boiling with rage at Cheif's insult toward her brother and Cadence's kingdom. She was about to stomp the living daylights out of him, but Arby stopped her by putting a hoof on her shoulder and gave her a look saying he will handle it.

"First of all Chief, Methamphetamine is a drug that is made into a powder that can't be smoked. If there was a way, I would be surprised. Thank Celestia that the drug hasn't been made here. "

He then turned to Twilight and said, "Believe me Twilight, who knows what sort of affects it would have on the citizens of this land, especially if they develop an addiction for it. Things will get ugly around here fast."

Twilight nodded in agreement even through she's never heard of methamphetamine. But after hearing Arby's warning, she would not want to bring it too Celestia's attention for bringing it into their world!

"w/e. i st331 dun want 2 g0" Chief said crossing his hoofs over his chest and turning his head away like a stubborn six year old.

"Believe me Chief! You're going and that's final!"

"make me"

"Sure," Arby shrugged and nodded to Twilight.

Her horn began to glow and a purple magic aura emanated around the Xbox.

Chief watched petrified as she used her magic to levitate the Xbox farther and farther off the table until it was high enough to be smashed onto the floor.

"WTF R U D0IN1!?!1" Chief hysterically demanded.

"If you do not agree to come with us, your precious Xbox will be destroyed along with the Halo 4 disc," Arby warned.

"NOOOO!1!1!1 PLZZ I11 DO N E THING!1!  D ':" Chief pleaded.

"Then pack up your suitcase Chief. We have a train to catch, and I'm not wishing to keep Shining Armor and Princess Cadence waiting any longer to make our acquaintances."

"fne :(", Chief said and headed for his room to begin packing 'hopefully' essential items for a trip to the Crystal Empire.

Both Arby and Twilight smiled with contentment.

Twilight then gently levitated the Xbox back down to the table it rested on sparing it, and Cheif's beloved Halo 4 disc.

"Something tells me this is going to be one hay of a trip," Twilight commented.

"I'll be sure to step up my watch on him. Who knows what might happen to him if he is separated from video games for a long period of time."

Twilight turned to Arby very worried.

"Is it really that bad?" she asked.

"With Chief, who knows how bad things could get. But that's why I'll be sure to be onto him at all costs. Even if its the littlest things," Arby reassured.

"Thank you Arby?" Twilight said smiling and relaxing a bit, but she still was a little tense mentally.

"Your very welcome, Twilight."

Arby was confident, but he wasn't sure how confident. Chief could find anything to make a bad first impression on anyone or anypony he met.

  

Trainride of Tales

Arby and Chief began packing up important items for the long trip ahead. Thankfully since clothes weren't a concern in Equestria, they didn't have to worry about packing them. The only outfit Arby packed was a tuxedo that Rarity designed for him for his anniversary. For Applejack, it was a fancy, country-themed dress. Normally Applejack hated wearing frivolous outfits; but if it was for her special somepony and had a bit of country in it, then it was fine by her. Arby wasn't that type of stallion who cared about what his mare looked like, he only admired her for who she was. Of course her bright green eyes and shiny blonde mane were Applejack's best qualities. When she got dirty, she still looked beautiful. The reason could be that Applejack was one of the few mares who made filth never look so good.

Arby had no idea what Chief was packing, but it was probably multiple volumes of Playcolt magazine. If Chief couldn't have video games, then he might as well find something to masturbate too; and Equestria's #1 porn magazine was the perfect item for doing that. He loved to jack off to sexy mares who were in all of these scandalous, but extremely hot postures. His most favorite section was the Wet Mane one. He discovered that Rarity did a pose in this section and got the biggest boner ever, and as a end result; he covered nearly the entire bathroom in 'lotion'. If he showed this to Spike, who had a mega crush on the fashionista unicorn, he would have an arousal growth spurt. Their were three types of growth spurts that baby dragons like Spike had. One being a normal one, but that would take hundreds to thousands of years because like alicorns, they had an extremely long lifespans. The second being the most common category, which was greed. Spike already went through this sort of transformation already, but was cured and reverted back to normal when he realized he was more generous then he thought; especially toward the mare of his dreams. The final one being of course being driven by sexual arousal. Spike has not yet experienced it, but Arby will not allow him too. Some traits about a dragon should be left alone

"Chief, are you almost ready?" Arby asked standing in the door of Cheif's room.

"im r3dy 4 ur mom" Chief replied.

"Never gets old. I was just asking you if you were all packed up and ready for the train ride to the Crystal Empire. It's going to be a two day trip."

"n3ar1y, butt i dun think i hav3 3n0ugh r00m 4 a11 mah s3xy magaj3ans"

"Have you at least packed anything essential besides porn? Like a toothbrush and toothpaste for instance? Also items needed to bathe?"

"y3ah"

"Well good, now c'mon. We have twenty minutes to meet the girls at the train station. We don't want to be late."

"kk"

Arby nodded contently and was about to turn around and head back before he noticed a tiny packet with the name of Exlax on it.

"Okay Chief, what the fuck are those?" Arby asked pointing a hoof at the small box.

Chief turned back toward him and followed the direction that Arby was pointing at.

"diarrh3a drugs" Chief replied casually.

Arby trotted over and picked up the container.

"Laxatives? Chief why on Equestria would you need these? You don't have constipation."

"if the f00d tast3s liek shit, i want it 0ut of mah syst3m emidat3ly" Chief explained.

"I'm sure the food is very tantalizing there," Arby reassured.

"im n0t t3king n e chenc3s"

"Suit yourself, Chief. But please hurry up," Arby said and finally left.

Chief turned to make sure that Arby had really left the room. When he found out he was alone, he focused his attention on the laxatives and picked them up in his hoof and stared at the container.

">:)"

Apparently laxatives and other pharmaceutical medicines from Arby and Chief's world were also introduced to Equestria as well.  


After sometime, Arby and Chief finally met up with the girls at the train station who welcomed them with smiles. Arby and Applejack hugged and kissed one another while Chief was trying not to puke in his helmet.

"Glad you two could make it. The train was going to leave in five minutes," Twilight said with a relieved sigh.

"Me too, I wouldn't miss it for the world," Arby said grinning.

"i w00d" Chief butted.

Everypony ignored him.

"So do ya know what today is sugarcube?" Applejack seductively asked Arby.

"You bet my sweet little caramel apple," Arby replied giving Applejack another passionate kiss on the lips. "My gift to you is already in storage on the train. All I can say it's as delectable as you."

"Oh sweetheart!" Applejack exclaimed along with more feverish kissing.

The rest of the girls awed while Chief tried to barf his guts out.

"gag gag gag" Chief uttered.

"C'mon Chief, lighten up will you? This is a very special day for Arby and AJ. Can't you show a bit of support?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"i wish I c0u1d, butt i cant :P"

"Don't be 'disgusted face' darling! Romance is a wonderful thing! Sure there is a hint of degrading activity in it, but it's still beautiful," Rarity scolded.

"Love is also something worth throwing a party for!" Pinkie Pie added enthusiastically.

"Um.. forgive me for saying so, but their all correct Chief. You have to be more supportive toward friends if you like it or not," Fluttershy timidly said.

"w/e. i jst want this 2 b oever with so i can g0 back 2 plehying ha10z"

Everypony just sighed and boarded the train.

During the trip, Arby sat next to Applejack, along with the rest of her friends and talked while Chief sat by himself. Every once in a while, he would grab a volume of Playcolt magazine from the storage area above him, and head to the trains single occupant restroom to take care of some urgent business.

"I still don't understand how you put up with him," Twilight said to Arby when they saw Chief vanish from sight.

"Sometimes I don't either, but without him; I wouldn't have anypony or anybody to keep me company," Arby explained.

"What about Jon?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Didn't he live with you guys?"

"Yes but I think he would have a shit fit if he knew his toys were alive. Plus he was hardly ever home."

"I'm sure he was just out partying!" Pinkie said with an excited grin.

"That could really be possible, Pinkie. But like I've said before, Chief inhabited the apartment first and I think he really liked it that way. It was only him and his precious Halo. The video game seemed to be his only friend, so he believed he didn't need to make real ones," Arby explained.

"So in a sense he was kind of like me?" Twilight asked.

"Perhaps, but the complete opposite. Instead of reading and studying to learn about all the wonders of the world around him, Chief loved to trash talk to other players across the globe. It's surprising he's been playing the same game for years now, and he still hasn't developed any real skill."

"Well if that's the life he wants to live, then I guess we have to learn to accept it," Fluttershy said.

"It's actually sad really," Rarity stated. "That he makes choices that make him insignificant."

"I admit I've tried to make him a better being, but he seems to always want to walk back on his own path. There is just no easy way to reform him."

"I could try, but is it okay to mention I would want to strap him too a leash?" Fluttershy asked.

"Haha! That would be fine by me, Fluttershy. But you better make sure it's very strong, and very short,"" Arby joked. Fluttershy and the rest of the gang all giggled.

"So Twilight; you said that you were going to explain the history of the Crystal Empire and the adventures you had there?" Arby reminded Twilight.

"Oh yes of course, I could I forget. Well it goes something like this."

Twilight told a long story about the adventures she's had at the Crystal Empire. There were only two to be exact. One was when Twilight and her friends saved the kingdom from the malevolent spirit of the tyrannical King Sombra who ruled the empire with an evil hoof thousands of years ago. He caused so much pain and grief to it's citizens, that they lost all happiness and memories of their former selves. After Sombra's imprisonment to the shadows, the empire vanished into the winter cold wasteland along with it's inhabitants who were stuck in time. When Twilight and her friends recovered the Crystal Heart, and returned it to it's proper place, the empire came back to it's former glory; but not before Sombra's shadowy spirit was sent back to where it came from, thanks to the magic of love between Shining Armor and Cadence. The second escapade happened when Twilight and her friends returned to the empire after Twilight became an alicorn princess. Her crown and her element were stolen by Celestia's former student, Sunset Shimmer. Twilight explained she followed Sunset into an alternate world where she was magically transformed into a teenage human girl.

This strongly intrigued Arby.

"So you're saying that you have come across humans before, while being turned into one yourself?" Arby asked.

"When you put it that way, yes. But what was even more surprising is that there were counterparts for each of my friends," Twilight said addressing eachpony.

"I still can't believe how awesome mine was!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Was mine really that pretty?" Fluttershy asked with a small blush.

"Ooh I wish I could have planned a party with myself! It would be so exciting!" Pinkie proclaimed bouncing.

"I would've loved to share fabulous dress designs with mine," Rarity said fluffing her mane with her hoof.

"I wonder if their are any counterparts of me or Chief?" Arby asked.

"I wouldn't think so. Judging from what I observed, there were only counterparts for those who already lived in Equestria. Since you two already lived in a human world, I highly doubt their are already human versions of yourselves living in the alternate world," Twlight explained.

"Do you think it would be okay if I investigated this world one day? I would love to learn more about this dimension. Chief would have to stay behind through. Who knows what sort of trouble he'll cause."

"That's up too my brother and Cadence to decide. The thing is through that the portal only opens once every thirty moons for three days. Three moons have passed already," Twilight replied.

"That's okay, I can wait that long. Plus it didn't have to be today," Arby said looking at Applejack lovingly. "Me and Applejack have plans."

"Ya always know the right words ta say," Applejack said and kissed him.

Arby really loved it when she made a rhyme after some of his statements. It didn't happen everytime, but Arby still enjoyed it and it proved how much how close they both were.

Everypony caught AJ's rhyme and giggled. Soon they were all laughing.

"wtf r u nubcakes laughing at?" Chief asked returning from his private ceremony of 'self-pleasure'.

Their giggling immediately ceased.

"Just some funny moments in history, Chief. Nothing you would be interested in," Arby replied.

"i w00d b if it was ab0ut s3cks"

"Nothing sexual discussed here, Chief."

"tehn fuck it. im n0t lissining"

Everypony knew it was a good idea to keep the secret about the portal from Chief. If he found out about it, Tartarus would definitely be unleashed in the parallel world and Arby would have to find a way to drag Chief out of it.

He just prayed he wouldn't have to do that.

Chief already had something hidden up his sleeve already for a good time. It would happen with the feast they would be having at the palace.


Arrival and a Warning

After the two day train ride, the gang finally arrived at the stunning Crystal Empire. The girls were already used to its beauty, but for Arby and Chief; they were even more amazed! The empire looked even more beautiful and amazing in person!

"Wow! That's pretty much what I have to say. I'm too amazed that I'm speechless," Arby said.

"Yer already talkin' sugarcube," Applejack joked.

"Oh. Yeah. Right. Haha!" Arby said blushing a bit.

"i think i jst g0t an 3r3cti0n" Chief stated gazing at the wondrous sight of the kingdom.

It was truly a beautiful sight indeed.

The roads and the buildings were made out of pure clean crystals which mostly had a hue of blue, purple, and red. There was still some natural scenery of grass and trees through, so the entire kingdom wasn't entirely made of crystals, but it was still truly a sight to behold. It was depressing to imagine a beautiful place like this was once ruled by a ruthless tyrant. Arby could visualize innocent ponies being tortured, or being driven into slavery. He was pleased through that it has been restored to it's former glory; thanks to Twilight and her friends. But in reality, Spike was the true hero who saved the kingdom.

Through the entire kingdom was beautiful, what really stuck out was the Crystal Palace that stood in the dead center of the kingdom. A sign that's where Shining Armor and Princess Cadence resided for their reign.

As the girls led Arby and Chief toward the palace, they got to see some of the sights and witness activities that the Crystal Ponies took part in.

There was a jousting activity currently going on. Arby was fascinated by the continuation of medieval activities, even after they've been away for a thousand years; also that it existed back in the history of Arby and Chief's dimension.

Chief however thought that 'two men running poles into eachother' was gay, and immediately scrutinized it.

They were amazed that just like crystals, the citizens of the empire shined and sparkled just like crystals themselves! No wonder they were called 'crystal' ponies.

When the gang finally approached the front doors of the palace, they were greeted by one of the palace guards who just happened to be Flash Sentry. When Twilight and Flash locked eyes, they both blushed a bit.

"Princess Twilight, how lovely too see you again," he said with a pleasant smile.

"Oh, it's a...um...great to see you too...Flash...hehe," Twilight stuttered nervously with a cute smile and deep blush. At least she didn't bump into him this time.

He blushed too, but remembered what his task was.

"Please follow me, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are awaiting for your presence in the throne room," Flash said and began leading the gang toward the throne room.

The inside of the palace was even more beautiful inside than on the outside, or maybe it was even. It almost seemed similar to the interior of Canterlot Castle, but more sparkly and shiny.

The chandeliers, staircases, art frames and statues were all made out of pure clean crystals that practically glowed in the light.

When they reached the throne room, it was even more grander and more sparkly then Canterlot Castles throne room. Even the throne itself was made out of crystals; no shit Sherlock right?

Princess Cadence and her husband, Shining Armor were waiting for Twilight and her friends as they had planned.

Both Cadence and Shining Armor lit up with smiles when Twilight and her friends appeared.

"Twily!" Shining Armor exclaimed and hugged his little sister tightly with affection. "I'm so glad that your here!"

"I'm always glad to be here with you BBBFF," Twilight replied. That was her way of calling him her Big Brother Best Friend Forever.

"Maybe you should move in here with us," Cadence joked with a laugh.

Twilight laughed along with her as she greeted her sister in-law, and foalsittter. They then did their special hoofshake.

Sunshine,sunshine

Ladybugs awake,

Clap your hooves and do a little shake!

Arby thought this scene was absolutely adorable, while Chief thought it was hot!

The sight of two beautiful mares shaking their asses at one another simply gave Chief a boner. He may have been homophobic, but not against female on female sex. It was one of the porno's he used to watch back at Jon's apartment; and his most favorite type.

Once again, an audible clang emitted from Cheif's groin area.

Shining Armor, Cadence, Arby, and the rest of the friends glared at Chief.

"wat? its p3rf3c1y natura1" Chief excused.

"That's my wife and little sister your getting aroused too," Shining Armor sternly said.

"sry k?" Chief said and backed off a bit while Shining Armor tried closing in on him defensively.

"Sir with respect, please forgive Chief here. He has an unusual condition to where he gets turned on by the most things. Even two bed pillows pressed together makes him stiff," Arby said coming in between them.

"stfu. i hav n0 cond3shin"

"He also has Tourettes syndrome."

Shining Armor backed off and sighed.

"Fine, but keep a close eye on him," Shining Armor said firmly.

"I will sir," Arby said then turned his gaze on Chief. "I won't take my eye off him for a second."

"sta11k3r" Chief huffed.

"Good to hear," Shining Armor said formally. He then turned to Flash Sentry. "Please show everypony to their rooms."

"Yes sir," Flash said and saluted.

Flash escorted Arby, Chief, and the girls to the rooms they would be staying in. When they entered the corridor that contained the rooms, Arby focused his attention on a heavily guarded door at the end of the hallway.

"Pardon me Flash, but what's in that room that's heavily guarded?" Arby asked gazing over at the area.

Flash turned his attention on the direction Arby was focusing on.

"All I can say it's a highly restricted area. You'll need authorization from either Shining Armor or Princess Cadence to enter.

"liek bye saying plex?" Chief asked.

Flash turned too Chief in confusion.

"Plex?" he asked.

"He meant 'please'."

"th3ts wat i sad dumba$$"

"I don't know. Like I said it's up to them, not me. But I can guarantee not even saying please would grant you access."

"th3ts bu11shit"

"We highly respect the wishes of Shining Armor, and his wife."

"Good," Flash said with a content smile.

Twilight knew that behind that door was the magical mirror that sent her to the parallel world where she met the human versions of her friends, and the rest of the citizens of Equestria.

When all the girls got their rooms, Arby and Chief were the last to be shown. Like all rooms, it had one single bed that needed to be shared. Chief immediately hated the amenity.

"th3r3s n0 wh3y n h311 im sharing th3t b3d w3th u"

"We don't have any other choice, Chief. Plus it seems big enough to fit the both of us."

"i dun car3 fag0t. s133ping w3th u wi11 mke m3 l0s3 mah virg3nity"

"I'm not planning to have sex with you Chief. I could place a small barrier in between us so we won't accidently touch one another."

"can u at 13ast t311 me y u c0u1dnt s133p with app13fap?"

"Her name is 'Applejack', Chief!"

"u c a diff3r3nce?"

"Let's not get off subject here! Both Applejack and I decided that you couldn't be entrusted to a room alone, as you sure as Tartarus are not going sharing a room with any of the girls! She allowed me to share a room with you so I can make sure you wouldn't do anything you wouldn't regret later on! Plus she likes to mingle with her marefriends. I admire that she's not one of the clingy types."

"i liek it wh3n ur m0m c1ings 2 m3"

"I also advise you to be on your best behavior too! That means no more swearing, no more rude comments or perverted actions or sayings, and specifically no more mom jokes! You have no idea how important this day is to me and Applejack, and the last thing I need is for you to find someway to fuck it all up! Do you understand me?"

"kk i g3t it. st0p biting my h3ad 0ff" Chief said defensively.

"Good! Now as a safety precaution, I've requested that you be grounded here until dinner tonight so I can explore this kingdom with Applejack and the girls in peace. I'm sorry if that's cruel, but you deserve it, Chief. I need to have sometime away from you so I won't be stressed later on during the feast. It's that time where you should learn too take more responsibility for your actions so others won't have negative feelings for you."

"k g0 ah3ad! l3ave! c if i care! this h01e plece is fu11 of fag0ts n e wheys!"

"Fine!" Arby said one last time before leaving the room and slamming the door behind him.

Chief angrily glared through is visor to the spot where Arby just left. To himself he seethed, "ill sh0w u sum fucking n3gativ3 f331ings! >:("

Revenge is Delicious

During his room 'imprisonment', Chief was devising his evil plan to ruin Arby and Applejack's three month anniversary. He knew the dinner would be the main celebration, and the perfect scenario for payback.

Chief may have been stupid, but he remembered that Arby didn't say anything about pranking or performing any other antics of hijinks and causing humiliation. This is where the laxatives he brought came in. Chief planned to tweak Arby and Applejack's food with crushed Exlax pills, and a lot of them which consisted of the whole box.

Chief opened up the container, and layed out all the pills out in front of him on a cleared desk. He then used his two front hoofs to smash the pills into a fine powder he needed in order to collect it in a small plastic bag that he brought with him as well.

Once he completed his task of crushing and collecting, he looked for any source of escape. He knew the doors were locked and heavily guarded, and the windows had some sort of magical barrier protecting them. His only last resort; and as a stroke of sheer luck, was the air ducts above him. Not one of the newest methods for doing the perfect crime, but it always came in handy. I guess nopony counted him on using the air ducts as a mean of escape, boy were they in for a big surprise; not to mention they forgot Chief was a pegasus so he could easily fly up to the entrance and unlatch it.

Once he was in, he carefully and quietly crawled through the narrow shaft. It's a good thing Chief was able to fit in the narrow corridors, and that he wasn't claustrophobic. The big question was which way he needed to go?

His main objective was to get to the storage area to where they are currently holding the platters and beverages before presenting them to the dining hall. It may take him hours before he finds the right room.

Before he decided to start venturing far into the unknown areas of the palace, he followed the shaft that he somehow knew would lead to the restricted area that they saw earlier. He was just that curious.

When Cheif successfully slid himself quietly above the heads of the guards, he picked at the latch that was directly over the interior of the restricted room and gently flapped himself down.

There really wasn't much to see at all in this room. It looked more like a storage closet then a prohibited area. One thing that really did stick out through was a big horseshoe-shaped full body mirror.

The mirror stood on a couple of light blue stairs that led up to it. Along the outer sides were beautiful welted metal patterns that curled from the main frame. The purplish frame holding the glass in place was bedazzled by eleven pink gems. Five smaller ones on either side with a slightly bigger one accompanying the top.

Chief was tempted to take on of the mirrors gems for himself, but decided to do that another time. He had other things on his sick and twisted mind right now.

He trotted up to the mirror to get a better look at it, and to possibly check out how sexy he looked as well.

He stared at his reflection and began flexing his hoofs ad wings.

"y h3110 thar g00d l00king" Chief said to his reflection who was copying every move he made. Chief was practically in love with himself which seemed more like a Summer thing.

When he was done enjoying himself; as if by instinct, he reached out to touch the glass. To his surprise, the glass rippled and glowed to where a small portion of his hoof made contact.

"wtf?" Chief asked himself.

He then proceeded to push his hoof farther in. He was shocked that his hoof easily passed right through the glass as if it was water. What was even more surprising is that in the mirror where his 'hoof' should've been, was a human hand that belonged to his former form. He worked his inner hand nerves to wiggle the fingers he was seeing; they moved with ease.

"omg!"

He then quickly pulled his human hand out of the mirror in hopes of seeing it, sadly it reverted back to a hoof as soon as he brought it out.

"fuck"

Chief tried to piece the puzzle together of why a part of him became human only when it was inserted in the mirror, but not when it was taken out; but decided that he didn't have time for this and focused his attention back on his mischievous task. He picked up the plastic bag containing the laxative powder and went back into the air duct trying his best to cover up evidence of his intrusion.

After a while of crawling through random shafts and maneuvering up and down drops and climbs, Chief finally found the room to where the food was being held for save keeping after it was prepared in the kitchen.

Once again he carefully undid the latch and slowly floated down into the room using his wings. Thanks too Lady Luck again, there wasn't a soul insight that would be there to catch him, but he knew it wouldn't last forever.

To make things even more easier, each platter had a name assigned to it for identification by loose name tents that sat in front of the servings.

Chief looked for the platter that belonged to Arby and Applejack. It wasn't hard considering that the supper would only consist of ten guests.

He carefully lifted up the metal containers that kept their food warm, and quickly sprinkled the powder into what looked like soup. He gave half to Arby's soup, and the rest to Applejack's soup so they would both have the same equal amount. Chief covered his hoof from his mouth so he wouldn't end up laughing out loud as he put the temperature controlling lids back on the platters.

Before he left, he spotted Arby's cake that he made back at their house. He wiped a small bit from it using his hoof in hopes of not being noticed, to his lips. Chief had to admit Arby's baking wasn't bad at all, but still thought that Arby was gay for performing such a feminine deed.

He flew right back up to the latch and quietly secured it He then began his close-quarters trek right back to his room. Hopefully he could find it before anypony discovered that he escaped. Then they would know that Chief would have something to do with Arby and Applejack's sudden bowel movements. He didn't like that thought at all and went as fast as he could through the tight shafts.

By unfortunate luck, a window was wide open in the food storage area where Chief just was. As if by some weird cosmic coincidence, a strong gust of wind blew through the window and scattered the name tents all over the kitchen floor. As the wind receded back through the window, it shut the window closed behind it.

Moments later, a cook came in to inspect the food condition. He was surprised to find out that the name tents were scattered all over the kitchen.

He first thought that somepony broke in, but quickly dismissed it at the fact that this area was guarded so no thief or vandal could break in. His second thought that a breeze must have knocked them over, but the window was closed and there seemed to be no signs of wind or gentle breezes. His final thought was that it was a prank by his co-workers. He was indeed a rookie, and thought this hijinks was a form of hazing. He just left it at that.

Since the food rations were all the same, he just placed the name tents in a random sequence carelessly. He thought it wouldn't matter who got what.

Little did he know he screwed up a deluded pony's intentions that could not possibly end well.

Delightful Dinners and Diarhea Disasters

Arby and Applejack decided to continue their stroll by themselves while Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy went on ahead back to the palace to get ready for the feast tonight. Celestia's sun was beginning to go down so it's best to start early then to be late. The couple decided to see the last places of interest before starting their hike back too the palace.

One sight that Arby truly did admire was the Crystal Heart. Applejack explained that it was powered up by the love that was spread among the citizens of the kingdom. Both Arby and Applejack decided to share a long and passionate kiss there in hopes of adding more power too the Heart and the rest of the empire. They may not have been Crystal Ponies, but with a kingdom under the rule of Cadence: the princess of Love; anything was possible!

As they started to head toward the palace, Arby felt a disturbance in the pit of his stomach and clutched it. Applejack looked to Arby with concern.

"Ya alright hun'?" Applejack asked.

"I believe so. I just got this strange cramp in my stomach for some reason," Arby replied rubbing the irritated area.

"Maybe yer hungry."

"It doesn't feel like hunger pains. It feels like those pains you get when you know something may go wrong. Kind of like before you go onstage to give a performance or a speech."

"I don't know why yer feelin' nervous sugarcube? Ya said Chief was grounded to his room so he wouldn't be able ta cause trouble."

"Me neither sweet pea. But knowing Chief, he always manages to squeeze himself into trouble even after he's been contained."

"Ah don't see how he's going ta escape from a heavily locked, guarded, and shielded space through. It would be impossible. Plus he ain't that clever to even plan out an escape route."

Arby thought for a moment and decided that Applejack was right. He always knew she was right.

"You make an excellent point. Perhaps the feeling in my stomach is from the excitement of our first anniversary together; yet it hasn't been one full year."

"Ah don't mind sugarcube. I'm glad ya did this fer both of us. It was very thoughtful," AJ said and kissed Arby once again, which he gladly accepted as always.

"Maybe for our official one year anniversary, I could take you too Applelooza if you wanted me too; or anywhere else in the Mild west. Just so you feel more at home."

"Ah would really love that sweetheart," AJ replied dreamily. It's like he knew what she wanted. That's why their relationship was so great!


When Arby and Applejack arrived back at the palace, they immediately headed for the grand dining hall where everypony would be waiting for them. Since the dinner was dedicated to them, they knew they wouldn't start feasting until they arrived.

Shining Armor sent one of his guards to go retrieve Chief from his room and escort him to the dining hall. Nopony has ever suspected Chief in his escapade of escaping from his room, and tainting Arby and Applejack's food with laxatives. Not a good sign!

When all guests were present, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence began the feast with a toast. He tapped his drinking glass with his horn to commence the toast.

"Thank you all for coming for this momentous night," Shining Armor began. "As you all know, tonight is a very special night for two individual ponies."

He turned his attention too Arby and Applejack who were sitting together at the opposite end to where Shining Armor and Cadence were seated.

Like all royal dining tables, it was a rather long and slim rectangular shape. Shining Armor and Cadence were seated at the short end width. Arby and Applejack were seated at the opposite width which mirrored Shining Armor and Cadence's end. Twilight and the rest of the gang were seated at the lengths.

Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity sat on one side while Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, and Chief sat on the other side.

"Tonight, we are celebrating the three month anniversary of Arby and his very special somepony, Applejack," Shining Armor announced proudly. "This feast is dedicated to the love that they both share with one another, and that truly is something worth celebrating in a kingdom that runs on pure affections. To that, we make this toast."

Everypony raised their glass in unison, and gulped down a decent amount of alcohol-free fizzy apple cider.

"Let's begin the feast shall we?" Shining Armor asked and nodded to his guards to let the chefs in to deliver the platters.

The guards opened the doors together in unison without hesitation to let ten royal cooks come in to serve a platter for each individual pony assigned to it.

Each food platter consisted of mostly apple related recipes, along with a side of salad and grass. Chief was the only pony who still hated the taste of grass. To him, it was like nasty Spinach.

As a proper dinner etiquette, no pony was allowed to begin eating until Arby and Applejack took the first bites of their meal, or when they gave permission; but first the couple wanted to say a few words of appreciation.

"Ah'm so glad y'all are supportin' me and Arby's special occasion. Y'all have no idea how much this means ta us," Applejack said with small happy tears in her eyes.

"We both know it hasn't been even a year yet like all anniversaries should, but we both believed an early celebration would be fine. We consider it as a warm up too an actual one," Arby explained.

"gr3at. ossim possim. nao can we 3at p1ex? im hungary" Chief complained.

"Hold on, Chief. Like I was saying, we're glad you could join AJ and I for our thre month anniversary celebration feast. We would also like too thank Shining Armor and Princess Cadence for inviting us to their wonderful and glorious kingdom."

Shining Armor and Cadence blushed a bit at Arby's generous and polite compliment.

"You all may eat now."

"ab0ut g0ddamn tiem" Chief muttered. Everypony ignored him.

Everypony began to dig in into their scrumptious apple-themed meals. Chief carefully watched Arby and Applejack for any signs of sudden discomfort. Normally one single laxative would take effect in an hour; but since Chief used many, it would be a minute or two max.

When the maximum time length elapsed, Chief expected Arby and Applejack to begin making a beeline for the palace's restrooms after they had their. Shockingly, they seemed just fine.

Chief was confused. He thought he got ripped off by the pony who selled the laxatives to him. Chief definitely wanted his twenty-five bits back. Then by good fortune, he heard some moans and stomachs growling.

Chief shot his head to look at Arby and AJ to see their faces, but by unfortunate luck; it wasn't coming from them at all. Instead they were both gazing in worry at the opposing end from their position. Not only that, but everypony else.

Chief followed to where they were all looking. They were all looking at Shining Armor and Princess Cadence!

Thanks too the mix up in the kitchen, the laxative tainted soup got delivered to Shining Armor and Cadence by mistake!

Shining Armor and his wife were moaning and groaning in discomfort while deep stomach rumbles emitted from both of them. They both quickly excused themselves and rapidly galloped to their own private bathroom quarters.

Very quickly, and thanks to the quiet atmosphere of the palace; the dining hall was filled with the noises of Shining Armor and Cadence moaning and groaning with their sounds of loud continuous flatulence along with the sounds of liquid gushing which were followed along by juicy plops and splats.

Rarity felt like vomiting and fainting while everypony else just stared and listened in shock. Chief on the other hoof was trying not to laugh. He knew the laxatives weren't for shining Armor and Cadence, but to him this still was funny as hell!

"LULZ!1! ROLFLMAO!1!1!" Chief uttered accidently.

Everypony now glared at him with seething hatred and anger. Nopony was more angrier than Twilight through!

"What is Celestia's name did you do to my brother and Cadence!!" Twilight roared at Chief. She was so angry that she could've burst into flames at any moment.

"it was an axe ed3nt k?" Chief said defensively.

"What was an accident?!?" Twilight demanded.

"teh diarh3a drugs w/re m3ant 4 arbitur @ app13fap, n0t 4 shiny a$$ @ pw3nc3ss cuntdance"

Arby and Applejack shot straight up out of their seats in angry surprise.

"Ya mean ya tried too embarrass us at our own occasion?!?" Applejack demanded.

"um...may b. lol."

"This isn't funny, Chief! You may have crossed many lines in the past; but this one is the worst of all! I think this time, you are not allowed forgiveness from any of us! Your discipline must now be pushed too the limit; and I believe who can help you," Arby said and nodded to the guards who were already for action. They began to surround and close in on Chief snorting with anger and determination in their eyes.

"w311 may i say i had fun. butt i thinks its tiem 4 m3 2 g0 nao. 2 teh roflcoptar!"

Chief pounced into the air and began flying as fast as he could while uttering, "SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI

The intense pursuit for Chief began! Every guard in the palace was ordered to block off all means of escape from the palace. Chief could manage to outfly Arby and the gang, along with the guards with them; but nearly got caught by the surprise ambushes that waited for him at unexpecting turns and twists throughout the palace. Chief could feel his wings becoming tired from the frantic flapping. He knew he couldn't go on forever, so he decided to head for the storage closet containing the mysterious mirror he encountered earlier.

He had to backtrack through some familiar areas and ambushes but luckily still managed to avoid them until he saw the now unguarded entrance to the storage room.

He opened the door then slammed it behind him. He then grabbed some random heavy junk to barricade the door from opening. It wasn't long however before the law caught up to him and began to force the door open.

"Open this door immediately, or we will be forced to break it down!" Chief heard a guard shout.

"gud luck with th3t" Chief said cockily which was probably not a good idea considering that the guards were stronger then the items Chief used to block the door.

Seeing the items beginning to falter, he perched himself against them to help, but was quickly failing.

In seconds, the guards prevailed over Chief and flung the door open sending Chief flying straight across the room.

Everypony including Twilight, Arby, and the friends saw a screaming green blur disappear into a flash of light and sparkles as Chief was hurled into the mysteriously opened portal to a parallel world which Twilight once visited.

They could only stare in awe as too why the portal was opened when it closed three moons ago. It just didn't make any sense!


Deja-vu Arrival

Chief could feel his body being hurled and warped as he was crossing an inter-dimensional plain. It was nothing like the sensation he got from after dying. Instead of being light and floaty, this was a very rough ride. He could feel himself being looped and stretched, but thank Celestia he wasn't torn apart even if he deserved it.

The sensation only lasted for about ten seconds before he landed on something hard which of course was concrete. Not the most softest or most comfortable of landings, but at least it beats the feeling of being ripped to shreads.

He gently opened his eyes to find himself lying down in front of some sort of large building. He looked over to the sign that read Canterlot Senior High School: Home of the Wondercolts.

'wtf? y am i n fr0nt 0f a sk3w1?' Chief thought to himself.

When he examined his condition, the thought of being in front of a high school didn't catch his attention anymore.

":0"

Chief discovered that his pony body characteristics have changed completely! He had human hands and feet instead of hoofs, and that his tail and pegasus wings were gone too. What was even more amazing is that he stood at the same height of seven feet, just the Halo hero he portrayed. He looked exactly like the real Master Chief; except without the wits and maturity.The good news also was that he was still wearing his armor so he didn't have to worry about sneaking around in the buff until he found some. Of course it wouldn't be easy because he was in an open area.

"FUCK Y3AH1!1 w00t" Chief cheered.

He was glad that he had fingers once again for real this time, and that he wasn't an action figure anymore. His main priority now was to find out where the hell he was.

He knew he had to be somewhere back on Earth, but this place didn't look anything like Vancouver at all. It really didn't matter through, but Chief wished he would've landed in a house that he somehow already owned so he could already be playing Halo, or watching sexy porno's.

Chief carefully got to his feet. He was a little wobbly at first because he hadn't walked this way in quite a long time, but always remembered that he was a biped even as a pony.

Once he quickly got adjusted to standing on his feet, he began walking toward to what looked like a town. There was no way in hell he would go for the school. Even if he were to enroll, he would probably never graduate.

When he reached the town's border, he knew that Canterlot was a name for Equestria's capital city, but this place was NOT Equestria.

It couldn't have been. If he was still in Equestria, he would still be a pony! It just didn't make any sense at all, unless this was some sort of crazy coincidence for Earth. When he got a glimpse at the citizens of this place, his theory was wrong.

Thankfully the citizens were human like Chief expected, but they had a couple of similar traits to the pony citizens of Equestria.

One being that each person had a different skin or hair tone. Some being like light green or deep purple. Only a few people seemed to have normal skin tones. A second thing that they all had were pictures or symbols that represented cutie marks. They were either stitched in to an article of clothing or they were part of an accessory like a necklace or purse. Only the young children didn't display any sort of symbol. Only a few did, but not many.

Chief was too busy looking around to watch where he was going. He was stopped when he suddenly bumped into someone. He could tell it was a girl because the 'oof' sounded feminine.

He turned his attention to who he bumped into. It was a young woman with blonde hair and grey skin who appeared to be working for a mail company judging by the outfit she was wearing. On her light green skirt was an image of six bubbles in a pattern which made them appear to float up. What really stood out was her golden eyes that appeared to be crisscrossed. In one of her hands was a delicious looking blueberry muffin.

"Sorry sir, didn't mean to bump into you there," the young mailwoman said apologetically. "I just don't know what went wrong."

"may b u sh0u1d g3t ur i's ch3ck3d otu" Chief muttered thoughtlessly.

The young woman was instantly offended and badly hurt. Tears began forming in her eyes.

"My eyes are fine, their just special."

"i w00d st331 r3c0mm3nd sug3ry"

With that, the mailwoman dropped her muffin on the ground and ran away bawling.

"g33z wat a dramatic bitch" Chief muttered and continued on his way without even bothering to pick the muffin up off the ground.

That mailwoman looked very similar to Ponyville's mailmare, Derpy Hooves. Chief never appreciated her services which is why he always let Arby deal with her. At least Arby showed respect towards Derpy. What made Chief even more sick is that Arby tipped her with muffins that he made. Chief just wanted to beat himself senseless against a wall because he couldn't tolerate Arby's over the top compassion for everypony or everybody.

As he proceeded further into town, he immediately noticed a bakery that had a gingerbread house theme to it.

He knew the place as Sugarcube Corner, but it seemed different. First of all the place was entitled Sugarcane Corner which was odd, but made sense. Second, it looked like a perfectly normal building instead of a full blown gingerbread house like back in Ponyville; but it still stood out with gingerbread house décor and colors. It also lacked the sweet scent it had before.

When Chief stepped threw the doors, everyone in the place turned to face him. The fact could've been he was the only one who wore a suit while no one else did.

Chief had a feeling of deja-vu come over him, but decided to ignore it as he went for the front counter.

When he neared it, the business owners who strongly resembled Mr. and Mrs. Cake went out to greet him. They seemed a little confused to why a customer like Chief was wearing a spacesuit with a head and face covering helmet. Incase that this was part of a robbery, Mr. Cake positioned his finger under the counter ready to press the silent alarm.

"Welcome to Sugarcane Corner, may we take your order?" Mrs. Cake asked with a forced pleasant smile.

"um..i jst cam3 2 g3t d3r3cti0ns. n0t 4 f00d." Chief said formally.

"Oh....well then. Where do need directions too?" Mrs. Cake asked.

"2 s0m3wh3re 2 find otu wh3re teh fuck i am"

"Um....your at Sugarcane Corner. Canterlot's best bakery in the entire world," Mr. Cake said nervously.

"an wat w0r1d w00d th3t b? l3st tiem i rem3mbar, u w3re b0th ta1king c0l0rfu1 hors3s w3th tatt000s 0n ur ass3s"

At first Mr. and Mrs. Cake had no idea what Chief was talking about; but then they remembered the events that happened three months ago. The news was buzzing about how a pony princess from another world saved them from Sunset Shimmer when she became a demonic creature when she bore the Element of Magic.  Five local teenage girls assisted her because they were the keepers of each Element, along with their power of friendship. One of the girls was an an employee at the bakery. It would help explain why Sugarcane Corner got more business then usual, and why Canterlot has received a lot more tourists.

"You mean to tell us that your from the world from where the heroic pony princess hailed from?" Mrs. Cake asked.

"yes, butt i hav n0 fucking c1u3 2 h00 u r r3fr3shing 2"

"Twilight Sparkle," Mr. Cake said.

"o y3ah, i n0 th3t skanky wh0rs3. sh3 thinks sh3's s0000000000000 sm3rt" Chief replied disgusted.

"Well how did you get here? Everyone knows that the portal won't open until another two in-a half years," Mr. Cake asked.

"htf sh0u1d i n0? it jst happ3n3d"

Mr. Cake turned too his wife.

"Sweetheart, we better get Pinkie out here. I think she and her friends need to know about this," he said.

Mrs. Cake nodded, "Okay," she said and headed into the back kitchen.

In a few short seconds, a teenage girl with light pink skin with big, poofy darker pink hair appeared in the kitchen doorway with a wide smile on her face. It was the same kind of look Chief got from the ponified Pinkie when they first met.

Chief knew it was Pinkie, but she looked a little different as a human. The facts being that she was wearing clothes and having noticeable breasts of course; also being taller and having fleshy skin instead of being coated in fur, and that her hair was longer too. The final one's being she had a normal nose instead of a muzzle, and that her ears were normal too and not big like a pony's.

"So I hear that your from Twilight's world! Is that really true?" the human Pinkie asked with her bright blue eyes lighting up excitedly.

"y3s."

"Oh this is so exciting! How is she? Did she send you on a special mission? Is she hear with you now? Is the portal open early? Are you..."

Chief used his fingers to seal up Pinkie's mouth from all her gabbling and obnoxious questions.

"can u stfu p1ex? i cant answ3r s0 m3ny qu3st chins" Chief said annoyed.

"Ummmhmmm," Pinkie uttered through her closed lips.

"gud. kn0w if i und3rst3nd c0rret 1y, u p0ssib1y r fr3nds with f11utt3rskank, r3inb0w mash, app13fap, @ rar3 sumthing. am i rite?"

Pinkie processed the names she was given. She then realized who he was talking about.

"Yes of course I do! I promised to meet them at the park for a picnic after I got off work today! We also made a new friend too! She may have been a meanie pants at first, but she's good now! I'm sure they all will be happy to meet someone from Twilight's dimension! You could also explain to us of how you got here! Deal?" Pinkie asked.

"w/e" Chief said.

"Yay!" Pinkie cheered.

Chief either escaped a nightmare, or entered a new one. Either way he was relieved to be away from that snooty Arby and his good for nothing friends. Maybe he wanted to stay here and not return to Equestria at all. He just prayed that this realm had Halo, and that Arby wouldn't follow him here. He knew Arby was too much of a chicken to perform inter-dimensional jumps, so there was no way in hell he would follow Chief at all! He hoped at least.

The Chase Begins

Twilight, Arby, and everypony else stared in awe as to what just happened. The portal somehow was opened when it shouldn't have been. This situation wasn't logical at all. Could the portal have been broken somehow; or did Chief do something to it when he was snooping around out of his room?

After a brief moment of awkward silence, Twilight trotted up to the mirror to test it out to see if it was truly open. when she touched the glass, she was shocked to discover that it was normal. The portal was sealed shut!

"But how can that be possible?" Twilight asked herself aloud.

"Beats me," Rainbow Dash replied shrugging.

"Maybe the force from the door was so great, that it send him in," Fluttershy theorized.

"Maybe; but I think I have a hunch. Twilight, is it alright if I make contact with this mirror? I won't go all the way in. I'll just stick the tip of my hoof in," Arby proposed.

Twilight was hesitant for a moment because she wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but she knew it was the only way. Plus, she always knew that Arby was smart.

"Sure, just be careful," Twilight warned.

"I will," Arby replied and nodded.

He trotted up too the mirror, and gently raised his hoof up to touch the glass. As his suspicions confirmed, the glass glowed and rippled too his touch. Everypony gasped in surprise.

"Just as I thought,"

"What is it?" Twilight asked tilting her head in confusion.

"It's obvious really. Since me and Chief are not from this realm, it maybe possible that the portal knows who is a real pony, and who is not. You said that this portal leads to a world where everypony here was changed into a human right?"

"Yes," Twilight replied still not catching on.

"Well if that's the case. I would say that the portal only reacted to me and Chief because we come from a world where humans exist, and if this world has humans, then the portal will allow us too pass. Does that make sense?" Arby asked.

Everypony thought for a moment to process what Arby just said. After a moment of thinking, they began to understand.

"Makes perfect sense to me," Rainbow Dash said.

"But now here's the drawback. Once the transportation is complete, the door will automatically seal up. Too make a long story short, Chief will be trapped their until the thirty moon cycle is complete when both sides are allowed to cross through."

Everypony gasped again.

"So yer sayin' that if ya were ta chase after Chief by goin' through the portal, you wouldn't be able too return until thirty moons have passed?" Applejack asked looking very depressed and shocked.

"I'm afraid so," Arby replied sadly.

"Oh sugarcube!" Applejack cried and hugged Arby tightly with tears running down her cheeks. "Please don't go! We can't bear to live without ya! Neither can Ah!"

"Shhh, it's alright. But who knows what kinds of trouble Chief can cause in that alternate realm, so he needs to be stopped. I wouldn't plan on going after him unless I have a solution for returning back to Equestria without having to wait two in a half years. I like living in this dimension and I don't want to leave it and you guys behind for a long time. If their is a way of returning here after completing this task, I would sure like to hear an idea."

Twilight thought for a moment, then said, "We have to return to Canterlot to see Celestia about this matter. I'm sure she can think of something for this scenario. Of course she'll be informed about the incident that took place during the feast. What he did can't be tolerated to avoid punishment; which we will decide later when we retrieve him."

Everypony nodded in agreement. Applejack calmed down a bit.

"Ah'm glad ya wouldn't deliberately abandon us like this," Applejack said with a small smile.

Arby smiled,"Of course I would never leave you guys. You are the best friends that anypony could ask for. Plus I would never leave the ones I love," he said placing his gaze on Applejack making her blush sweetly.

"Well c'mon then! What are we waiting for? Let's not stay here anymore then we need too! Chief could be robbing a bank by now!" Rainbow Dash stated.

Twilight nodded, "She's right. Let's move," Twilight then had a thought. "What about my brother and Cadence through. Are they going to be alright?"

"They'll be okay princess Twilight, they just need some rest that's all," Flash reassured.

Twilight relaxed and blushed a bit, "Thank you Flash,"

He blushed as well, "Your welcome, your majesty."

***

When the gang finally retuned back to Canterlot, they rushed into Celestia's throne room as quickly as they could. As usual, Celestia was there to meet them.

"I'm glad you could make it," Celestia said formally. She was already told about what Chief did to Shining Armor and Cadence, and was not happy about it.

"I'm sorry that I failed to keep a close eye on Chief like I promised your majesty. It's just that I got so caught up in spending time with Applejack that I forgot all about...."

Celestia silenced him by raising her hoof.

"It's alright Arby, I understand perfectly. I'm proud of the affection that you share with Applejack. Love makes Equestria a better place to be. You won't be punished, but Chief will be. I'm probably thinking of some sort of community service."

"Actually your majesty, it might be better to strip him of his video game privileges. Obviously that's one thing he can't live without," Arby suggested.

Celestia thought, "Oh yes, of course. Matter of fact he should just be forced to watch my sister play her games. I can tell you she's one heck of a vicious player. I swear sometimes this castle is filed with her angry rants when she plays online." A small chuckle escaped Celestia's lips.

"Sounds fine to me."

"Celestia, do you know how we can pursue Chief into the parallel world without having to wait until the thirty moon cycle is up?" Twilight asked.

Celestia thought some more.

"Hmmm, one way is to ask my sister if she could quickly rotate the moon until it reaches thirty, but that may corrupt the balance of the moon in the other world," Celestia stated.

"Then what's the other way?" Twilight asked.

"Follow me," Celestia said.

The gang followed Celestia to the vault where the Elements of Harmony were stored. As usual Celestia stuck her horn in the lock hole, and used her magic to open up the vault.

Celestia then opened up the chest and pulled out Twilight's crown containing her element. Celestia then casted some kind of spell on the element that made it flash purple. When Celestia was done, she levitated the crown onto Twilight's head.

"What did you do to my element?" Twilight asked Celestia curiously.

"I enchanted it will a spell that will allow you to pass into the alternate world freely, it will also let you open a portal back too Equestria when you wish; but Chief must be in your presence. Unfortunately the spell will only last for twenty-four hours," Celestia explained.

"Twenty-four hours? But the trip back to the Crystal empire will take fourty-eight," Twilight said shocked by the short amount of time.

"I'm on it," Celestia said and casted another spell.

This time she used her magic to open up some sort of slipspace portal in the throne room. The jaws of everypony dropped.

"When you enter this portal, it should take you to the alternate realm, but it will close behind you when you enter. When you do return to Equestria, you should be transported back to the Crystal Empire to be picked up, and where Chief will be apprehended," Celestia said.

"Why can't the rest of us go this time?" Rainbow Dash demanded. "It doesn't seem fair!"

"Like I said before. We can't risk a corruption in balance by sending all of you. Arby and Twilight are the only ones who don't have counterparts so their safe," Celestia explained.

Rainbow Dash and the others groaned.

"I know, but it's the right thing to do. Now both of you, go quickly and make haste," Celestia addressed Twilight and Arby who both nodded.

"Take could care of him Twi," Applejack said with small tears in her eyes and a hint of worry on her face.

"Don't worry Applejack, we'll be fine," Twilight reassured.

"It'll be okay sweetheart. I'll keep an eye out for any kind of danger. I love you," Arby said and embraced Applejack tightly. She did the same.

"Ah love ya too hun'," Applejack replied and kissed Arby passionately on the lips. Arby returned the favor back to her.

"Please, you need to go, now," Celestia said more firmly.

Arby and Applejack quickly broke the kiss and nodded to eachother mutually. Then Arby turned too Twilight.

"C'mon Twilight, let's go. On the count of three."

Twilight nodded in agreement.

"One........two.........THREE!!!"

When Arby reached three, Twilight and Arby grabbed hoofs and leapt into the portal at the sametime. The portal instantly closed behind them leaving everypony to stare at nothing.

'Please be safe sugarcube,' Applejack thought anxiously.

Extreme Lulz Picnic

After Pinkie finished her shift at Sugarcane Corner, she led Chief to Canterlot Park like she promised. Chief really didn't want to go to the park with Pinkie to meet her friends because he knew that if there was a human counterpart of Pinkie, there had to be one for Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Twilight. What worried him the most was that he wondered if there was a human counterpart for Arby since this world was parallel to Equestria.

He really wanted to back out of this, but he was hungry because he didn't get to eat much of his dinner back in Equestria because of his prank-gone-wrong. Luckily he didn't bring an extra container of laxatives to ruin the picnic that Pinkie was having with her friends.

When Pinkie and Chief arrived at the park, Chief got a clear glimpse of the people they would be joining. Chief was right about the theory about human counterparts of Fluttershy, RD, AJ, and Rarity; but wrong about ones for Twilight and Arby, which he was relieved about. In Twilight's place was a girl with hair that was the color of fire. Her skin tone seemed normal unlike the rest of the group. She wore a black leather jacket with a bedazzled collar with a purple undershirt displaying of what looked like some sort of yin-yang sun pattern with colors that matched her hair. She wore a dark orange skirt with strips of purple and light yellow, and her eyes sparkled a light cyan blue.

"<3"

Pinkie turned to Chief in confusion.

"What's less than three?" she asked.

"wh0s th3t hawt chik?" Chief asked pointing at the flame-haired girl.

Pinkie followed Chief's direction to who he was pointing to.

"Oh, that's Sunset Shimmer. She's the one who was the meanie I was referring to earlier. You don't have to worry now because she's been reformed by us. Sure she can still be a little snobby sometimes, but she's still a great person," Pinkie explained. "Why, do you like her or something? I mean you called her hot," Pinkie giggled.

"y3s"

"Well you're in luck. Her ex-boyfriend still hasn't hooked back up with her yet."

"y? was h3r secks t3rrib1e?"

"I don't really know. From her looks and personality, I'd say she'd be pretty good at it actually."

"w3rks 4 me. i can pr3tty much do n e chik, b3cause im s0 fucking buff /flex "

"You must be since you were that heavy looking armor," Pinkie giggled.

When Pinkie and Chief reached the waiting friends, their gazes fell on Chief.

"Uh, Pinkie dear. Who is this?" Rarity asked.

"Oh this is....you know I didn't get your name," Pinkie said to Chief.

"h3110 i am mastur ch33f lolololololololol"

"This is Master Chief everybody!" Pinkie said enthusiastically.

Everybody was dazed.

"You do realize you found some sort of cosplayer right?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Pinkie tilted her head.

"What's a cosplayer?"

"A cosplayer is someone who dresses up in a costume of their favorite character from a show or video game. It's like the geekiest thing ever," RD explained.

"It's a total disgrace to fashion everywhere," Rarity added.

"Um..I like his costume," Fluttershy meekly said. "If that's okay with everyone else?"

"Well if he wants to express his fandom, I say let him," Sunset said. "Even through there's really no convention going on, and that it's not even Halloween either, but still it doesn't hurt too express yourself."

"thx bay b ;)"

"Uh...your welcome," Sunset replied a bit uncomfortable.

"So Pinkie, where did ya find this guy?" Applejack asked.

"Oh, he came into my bakery this morning," Pinkie replied. "And you want to know where he's from?"

"Dorktown?" RD asked.

"No silly dilly, he's from Twilight's world!"

The girls seemed a bit shocked and skeptical. They all knew that the portal was closed for another two-in a half years so there was no way that anyone could get access to their world, or Equestria.

Chief explained the whole story from beginning to end about how he and his companion, the Arbiter were once toys that lived in an apartment with a human named Jon in Vancouver, Canada. He told them about how he blew himself and Arbiter to Equestria by blowing up their apartment. He concluded his story with the feast and how he stumbled into the mirror.

Everyone was silent. They had a hard time believing such a tale, but were shocked about all the horrible and profane things that were involved. Of course they couldn't buy the part about once being plastic figurines. AJ herself was shocked that her pony counterpart was in a relationship with a ponified alien.

"Now why in tarnation would my pony be interested 'n an extraterrestrial being? That's a load of horse apples!" AJ stated disgusted.

"b3ats teh shit 0utta me" Chief shrugged.

"I'm not buying this whole 'use to be plastic' thing," RD said. "Do you even have proof of this?"

"we us3d 2 b y0utube stars on the int3rn3ts. if n e b0dy has a c0mput3r, i can sh0w u wat i m33n" Chief explained.

"I think I have a laptop," Sunset said and reached into her bag.

Sunset brought out a crimson-colored laptop and placed in on the table for everyone to see. She then went to YouTube.

"Okay, what should I look for?" Sunset asked.

Chief told her to look up a video called Arby 'n' the Chief: Extreme Lulz Edition. Boy were the girls in for a wild ride!

Youtube Video

When the video ended, everyone had different feelings. Rarity and Fluttershy were horribly offended, Applejack didn't know what to make of it, RD and Sunset were in tears laughing, and Pinkie just showed random enthusiasm.

"Oh my fucking god! That had to be the funniest thing ever!" RD cried clutching her sides.

"I can't breathe!" Sunset stated.

"Why would anyone do such a horrendous thing!" Rarity asked disgusted.

"That's so gross!!" Fluttershy cried and whimpered.

"Ah'm afraid ah don't understand," AJ said.

"Well, at least he was happy to drink it!" Pinkie said.

"me 2! xD"

"Looks like we believe you now. It must have been awesome to be living action figures without the acknowledgement of Jon," RD said.

"y3ah. butt my life w00d hav b33n s0 much b3ttar with0ut arbitur"

"Why's that?" Sunset asked.

"b cause he has 2 b such a partay shitt3r thets y. he nevar appr3cia3s a gud tiem"

"Well it's a good thing he's not here to ruin tonight's Septemberfest that I'm planning," Pinkie said sighing. "It saddens me when no one knows how to loosen up and be happy."

"a1s0 he th3nks hes such a smarta$$. h311 b0re u w3th p0int13ss werds thet n0 1 w00d gave 2 shits ab0ut" Chief added.

"There's nothing wrong with being smart," Fluttershy said firmly but still quietly.

"w/e" Chief muttered.

"Well anyway, let's finish up our meal and help setup for the festival tonight. It's gonna big a big one an' we need all the energy we can," AJ stated.

"I just hope I can get my appetite back," Rarity muttered. "I'm still a little traumatized."

"Same here," Fluttershy added.

"Oh c'mon you guys, lighten up. It was only for comedy," Sunset said to Rarity and Fluttershy.

"Comedy or not, it was still repulsive," Rarity retorted.

Everyone decided just to shrug off the subject and continue their picnic casually. RD and Sunset giggled every now and then at the thought of Arby drinking semen from the cups and mugs when they should be strongly offended by it like Rarity and Fluttershy. You can guess that they were that hard headed, also considering the fact that RD is a tomboy and that Sunset still can get a smirk from someone's pain even through she's not evil anymore; or is she?

When everyone finished eating, they were about to throw their trash away when all of the sudden they felt some sort of disturbance in the air. The wind picked up around them and it's air felt a bit electrical but no hurtful.

As if by instinct, they all drew their glances toward the direction of Canterlot High where the main source happened to be coming from. When it subsided, they all stared in awe.

After a quick moment of silence, RD asked, "What was that?"

"Who knows, but I think we should check it out. That was no natural event," Sunset said.

"Um..is it okay if I just stay here?" Fluttershy asked nervously. "I don't like anything supernatural."

"You turned into a pegasi hybrid. That was supernatural," Pinkie stated.

"Yes, but it was beautiful. Anything with lightning and scary wind isn't anything I want to be involved with."

"It's okay Flutteshy, I'll stay with you," RD said putting a hand on Fluttershy's shoulder to comfort her.

"Um..okay then. I'll go if you want me to."

"That a girl!" Applejack said proudly. "Now c'mon y'all. It's best we get there before anyone else does."

Everyone agreed and headed toward the school.

'I hope it's nothing bad,' Fluttershy thought to herself.


  

Twilight of the 'F' Bomb

As Arby and Twilight traveled in between the dimensions, they had a different feeling.

Since Twilight has passed through the portal already, it was pretty much a smooth passing. She even felt her body began to change shape without any pain. Her muzzle morphed into a nose while her hoofs grew appendages that were fingers and toes. Her tail vanished and her mane became beautiful long flowing hair. When she emerged from the portal, she was on her knees and hands as if she was still in pony form. Also that she got the same clothes from last time too.

As for Arby, his ride was rougher. It was the first experience that the portal gave it's travelers. The sickening feeling of being spun and warped in a rather painful way. When he was spit out, he heard Twilight let out a startled scream.

He shot open his eyes in alarm. He didn't land on Twilight, instead she looked at him with wide and startled eyes.

"What?"

"L...look at yourself," she stuttered a little shaken.

Arby examined his hands first and immediately understood what frightened Twilight.

Instead of having normal human hands like Twilight, he had four long curvy alien-like fingers. He then proceeded to examine the rest of his body. To his surprise, he looked like the real life Arbiter! He had his armor and helmet back, and he stood at eight feet tall. The height any Sangheili would stand. He examined his waist to see if he carried any Covenant weapon like the Arbiter always did; luckily he found nothing.

"S...so this is what you really look like?" Twilight asked still shaken.

"I'm afraid so. It makes sense through because this was my form back in my own dimension, except I was a foot tall and made of plastic. Also my mouth didn't move and my limbs weren't this flexible," Arby replied moving his arms and legs.

"Oh....I see," Twilight said calming down a bit.

She got up and looked around. Twilight noticed that the air was disturbed around them along with bits of electricity that didn't strike them. It had to be part of the slipspace portal they exited. Inter-dimensional travel can cause a disturbance in the atmosphere you know?

"We should probably begin our search now. We have only till midnight to find Chief before he hurts someone, or himself."

Twilight spoke to soon. They heard someone crying. They turned their attention to a crying Derpy who ran senselessly into a tree because she wasn't watching where she was going. Twilight and Arby immediately rushed to her aid.

"Oh my Celestia! Are you alright Derpy? What happened?" Twilight asked.

Derpy opened her eyes to meet Twilight's worried look.

"Hey! I remember you! Your that pony princess who saved us!" Derpy said with a surprised and happy look even through tears still ran down her face.

"Yes that's correct, but let's stay on topic here. What happened to you? Why are you upset?"

"Some mean man in a green spacesuit made fun of my eyes!" Derpy wailed. "It was awful! I even lost my muffin!"

"Shhh, there there. It's okay. I'm sure you can buy another one. Wait, did you say you saw a man in a green spacesuit?" Twilight asked.

"Y...yes," Derpy replied.

"Which way did he go? It's imperative that we find him."

Derpy thought for a moment.

"When I encountered him, he was downtown. Somewhere near Sugarcane Corner I think," Derpy said.

"Good, thank you for your help," Twilight said with relief. At least that helped narrow their search.

"Your welcome, but can I at least ask why your looking for him?" Derpy asked.

"Let's just say he's in trouble with the law back in my world."

"Oh,"

Derpy then took notice of Arby.

"Aah! What is that thing?" she screamed.

Twilight turned her attention toward Arby.

"It's alright, he's a friend. He won't hurt anybody, I swear," Twilight reassured.

"O..okay,"

"Now you best be on your way. I hope your feeling better now?" Twilight asked.

"I am," Derpy said with a slight smile and hurried off.

Twilight and Arby watched as Derpy disappeared from view, then Twilight turned too Arby with a determined look.

"C'mon, let's find Chief before something else bad happens, or he causes full blown chaos. The last thing this world needs is Discord in a green suit," she said.

"I thought you said he was reformed by Fluttershy."

"I meant Chief."

Arby face-palmed.

"Oh yeah, sorry. Sometimes I swear some of Chief's stupidity wears off on me."

Arby and Twilight quickly hurried into town. Many of the citizens acknowledged and applauded Twilight when they saw her pass by, but were a little startled to see a tall alien accompany her.

Twilight and Arby decided to head to Sugarcane Corner because that's where they suspected Chief to be. When they burst through the door, all eyes were immediately averted to their direction. Everyone recognized her as the pony princess who saved their world, but had no idea who Arby was. They let out startled and confused murmurs.

"It's okay everyone, he's a friend," Twilight reassured acknowledging Arby. That seemed to calm down the people a bit.

"Has anyone seen a man in a green space suit?" Twilight asked the townspeople.

"Yeah, he was just here a moment ago," one townsperson said.

"Quite a strange fella he was," said another.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake appeared at the counter. They were surprised to see Princess Twilight in their world when it hasn't even been thirty moons yet, but decided not to question facts.

"What brings you here your highness?" Mr. Cake asked bowing while Mrs. Cake curtsied.

"We're looking for Chief," Twilight replied.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked at one another in confusion.

"I'm sorry your majesty, but we don't know anyone by that name," Mrs. Cake said shaking her head.

"He's a crazy nitwit in a green spacesuit."

Mr. and Mrs. Cake suddenly realized who she was referring too.

"Oh yeah! Pinkie took him with her to meet up with her friends at the park. Something about having a picnic I believe," Mr. Cake replied.

"Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. Cake. We appreciate your assistance," Twilight said and hurried off with Arby following her.

"Anytime!" Mrs. Cake called.

They wanted to ask her about what Arby was, but decided to hold off on it.

When Arby and Twilight reached the park, they were disappointed to discover that Chief and Pinkie were nowhere to be found; neither her humanized friends. Only scraps from their picnic remained.

"Oh buck!" Twilight cursed. Arby was surprised.

"I never heard you swear before."

Twilight immediately covered her mouth with her hands and blushed.

"Sorry. It was a slip of the tongue."

"It's alright. At least your not anything like Chief. He drops the f-bomb constantly."

Twilight thought about the letter change.

"So the word is fuck then?"

Arby tried not to laugh. He couldn't believe a princess was talking like this!

"Exactly,"

Twilights blush deepened.

"Oh,"

"Like I said it's okay to swear, of course it's better not to do it while our serving as a princess, but still. Anyway we need to figure out where they went with Chief. It feels like we're one step behind them somehow."

"I think you maybe right."

"How so?"

"Look,"

Twilight pointed at the ground.

Arby looked at to where Twilight was referring too.

On the ground were faint indentations of heavy footprints on the grass. Only a powerful foot like Chief's could make a mark like this.

The footprints headed off in the direction of Canterlot High.

"Looks like we went in a complete circle," Twilight muttered. "Now what do we do? We have until midnight to recover Chief, and return to Equestria before the spell fades!"

"We wait," Arby replied simply.

Twilight was surprised.

"Wait? We don't have time for waiting! We need to keep moving!"

"No listen to me. I have a hunch that their chasing us now. I just have this feeling that they'll eventually return to this location," Arby explained calmly.

"And how do you know that?" Twilight demanded.

"Because of that," Arby replied and pointed too the Semptemberfest banner that dangled near them.

Twilight turned to face the banner and quickly knew what Arby was talking about. Whenever there was a sign of a party or celebration, you cold always count on Pinkie being there; and surely Chief and the others would be there too.

Twilight just hoped they would hurry so they could go home.

An Awkward and Long Search

Chief and the girls ran as fast as they could to investigate the rather supernatural occurrence that just happened a few moments ago. Since it came from the site of the Canterlot High school statue, which also happened to be the portal back to Equestria, they knew it had to do with someone or something entering their dimension on an early basis. It still didn't make sense of how the portal was operating at this time. Everyone just thought maybe it was malfunctioning somehow. What seemed rather odd and sinister was the lightning, and the sudden gust of wind. That surely never happened when the girls saw Twilight and Spike re-enter the portal. No matter, this was truly something that needed investigating.

When they finally reached the schools' front yard, they couldn't see anyone in sight. They then examined the area in the back of the statue where the portal was. They really didn't see much, but what really caught their eye was a rather big three-toed footprint.

Fluttershy whined and hid behind Rainbow Dash shivering.

"W...what is that?" she stammered.

RD inspected the footprint closely.

"I would say it would belong to that semen drinking alien," she chuckled.

"Oh can we please let that go already! It's making my thoughts filthy!" Rarity complained.

"Yeah; but you have to admit it was still a little funny," Sunset stated smirking.

"What Ah don't understan' is why would an ET varmint come in our dimension?" AJ asked.

"lol"

AJ gave Chief a disgusted look.

"Ah see what ya did there. Ya somehow absorbed my entire sentence, and turned it into somethin' sexual."

"its wat i do ;)"

"I thought you said that this 'Arbiter' wouldn't follow you here because he was to chicken or something," Sunset said.

"may b i was wr0ng k?" Chief said defensively.

"Looks like he arrived alone through. I don't see any other traces of footprints," RD said examining the ground more.

"Nope, Twilight's with him," Pinkie said with her usual flighty smile.

Everyone turned to her with surprised and confused faces.

"How do ya know that?" AJ asked.

"Because I see a piece of her hair right there!" Pinkie replied pointing at a certain area of the lawn.

Everyone turned to gaze and follow Pinkie's direction to where she was referring too. Sure enough on very close inspection, a strand of long purple hair rested on a few blades of grass. It was a mystery of how Pinkie knew that. Again, it was classic Pinkie Logic.

"Wow I can't believe she's actually back," Fluttershy said with a hint of excitement on her face and in her soft voice.

"It's a good thing to. I wish to apologize to her about what I put her through," Sunset said looking a bit guilty.

"Don't worry about it sugarcube. Ah think she's already forgiven ya. Ah mean we already have," AJ stated trying to reassure Sunset.

"I know, but I still feel so bad. I want to be friends with her like I am with you guys. It would be great to be best friends with a princess, especially Twilight."

"Well if that's what your heart is telling you darling, then go for it," Rarity said encouragingly.

"First things first. We need to find both of them," RD said. "Who knows where they could be. We may have to search the entire town for them; which really sucks because tonight's Septemberfest." RD became annoyed. "If me and Fluttershy still had wings, we could fly all over town looking for them. That way it would be more quicker, and convenient."

"Um...Rainbow Dash. I'm scared of heights, remember?" Fluttershy nervously said.

RD face-palmed.

"Oh, right. Sorry. What I meant was that I should just look for them while the rest of you scout the ground."

"But I'll do it if you want me to," Fluttershy suddenly added.

"Doh!" RD uttered and fell on her back.

"We have no time ta waste y'all! Let's try ta get 'er done while we still can!" AJ reminded hurriedly.

Everyone quickly agreed.

Chief turned to Sunset and asked her, "r u @ twilight g0nna hav sum hawt 1esb0 mak3 up secks b cause thet w00d b s0 fucking s3xy @ ossim? ossim possim"

"You really want to know?" Sunset replied giving Chief a mischievous look that made him excited.

"y3s plex"

After that, Sunset's face became fierce as she brought a foot behind her, and brought it forward to make hard contact with the un-armored area of Chief's groin. Apparently Sunset has been taking self-defense classes with Rarity so she was very lethal. She performed her task successfully without damaging her boot, or her foot.

"AAAHHH!1!1!1 WTF?1?!/" Chief cried performing a pain dance while clutching his balls.

"If I did decide to fuck Twilight, you wouldn't be able to get a boner from it," Sunset stated. This earned a shocked gasp from the girls.

"You know I was only kidding right?" she said to them apologetically.

"Ummm," were the only things the girls could utter.

"Let's just pretend I didn't say that alright?"

The girls only replied shrugging uneasily.

Sunset just sighed.

"C'mon, let's get moving before this becomes more awkward then it has to."

Sunset didn't want to admit it but sleeping with another girl sounded hot, especially a pony princess. When she was together with Flash, they never made love once. Probably because he wasn't that into her because of her former mean streak.

Sunset just decided to shake off the feelings and urges to focus on the main task ahead.


Chief and the girls searched endlessly all over the town of Canterlot for any signs of Twilight, or Arby. Chief in truth really did not want to be found because he somehow knew that Arby and Twilight were only there to look for him, and bring him back to Equestria; but he was too dumb enough to tag along anyway. Plus he wanted to see if Twilight was more sexier as a human then as a pony. It seems weird that Chief would want to be interested in that because they didn't get along at all since she was an egghead like Arby; but Chief was just that messed up in the head to care.

Three hours have passed by and their was still no sign of Arby or Twilight. Canterlot was a massive town so you could imagine the toll it took on them.

"I...can't........feel.......my.......legs," RD said panting against a lamppost. She may have been athletic, but that didn't mean she had limits.

"All of this walking has worn out the souls of my favorite boots," Rarity whined.

"Ah'm so hungry, Ah could eat a bronco," Applejack stated.

"My pets at home are probably worried about me, and probably starving!" Fluttershy worriedly said. Little did she know that back at her home, Angel Bunny was throwing a wild party that contained food and refreshing beverages. Sometimes he really hated being smothered by Fluttershy's over-the-top kindness. He wanted to be independent this time for once.

"o u 4 st0p b3ing such a bunch of pu$$ies. o w8, u a1r3ady hav th3m. rofl" Chief said. It was rather surprising that he was the only one who wasn't exhausted.

No one had the energy to sock Chief so they just ignored him.

"Okay people think. Where is one spot we haven't checked yet?" RD asked.

Everyone thought for a moment.

They already knew they searched every building, street, and section of the town. After a moment, they all reached the same conclusion. It was the park! What inspired that idea? They could hear faint music emanating from the direction toward the park. Semptemberfest has already begun! They all agreed that's where Twilight and Arby had to be! What better way to find who your looking for? At a joyous celebration; Pinkie's kind of world!

Lending a Hand (or Claw)

--Canterlot Park--

**Two Hours Earlier**

Arby and Twilight completely lost track of time after about thirty minutes or so waiting for any signs of Chief, or  anyone of her humanized friends. So far none of them have showed up at all.

At first, Twilight and Arby were high on alert scanning every inch of the park to the best of their ability, but as time went on; energy was slowly slipping from their bodies. It got so bad that they eventually slumped down near a tree and took a nap in it's comforting shade. Arby had one dream in particular, or it could've been a flashback.

In the dream, Arby was sitting on the windowsill of Jon's apartment gazing at the glorious sights of the city surrounding the building. He was deep in a thought about something when out of the corner of his eye, some creature dropped in from above startling him.

"Aah!"

When Arby saw that it was only Greg, he relaxed even through he was still a bit shaken.

Greg was a spider that lived in some unknown area of Jon's apartment. His appearance may have been a bit revolting, but he was very friendly. Arby was once an arachnophobic, but Greg somehow made him overcome it. A funny fact that is when Arby was still afraid of spiders, we was too nervous to battle virtual ones in his Legend of Zelda games. Greg also had the tendency to drop in on his friends always scaring them, but it was nothing bad. They just wished that Greg to find ways to let him know he was coming before he appeared out of nowhere.

"Greg, you scared me!"

Greg grabbed a sticky note from his back and used one of his legs to quickly scribble something down on the paper. It was his way of communicating because he couldn't talk out of the mouth.

Sorry :(

"It's perfectly alright. What's up?"

I just came 2 c if u were ok.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

U have been sitting up here 4 3 days now.

"I know. But's it's nothing horrible really."

Greg just hesitated for a brief moment, then scribbled, It has something 2 do with Chief doesn't it?

"You could say that, yeah."

What did he do this time?

"Man; he's done so many things, I completely lost count. But that's not what this is about."

Then what is? :/

"I just feel like sometimes he doesn't appreciate the friendship we have. Actually I hardly think Chief doesn't understand the true meanings of friendship at all."

Have u tried teaching him?

"I would, but I don't think he'll ever listen to me. He hardly listens to anyone."

Greg thought.

U have a point there. Sorry 4 the bad advice.

"No. It was very thoughtful of you. Thanks for trying too help anyway."

Don't mention it ;)

"I'm sure one of these days Chief might change his ways. But that may take many years."

Or eternity, lol

"Perhaps Greg. Perhaps,"

Oh. Almost out of notes. I'll c u soon ok?

"Okay."

Arby watched as Greg took off and disappeared.

Arby knew that Chief would never change his ways no matter how hard he tried. Chief was way too much of an ignoramus to follow any sort of instruction whatsoever. Surely something might change Chief; but what?

Arby then woke up from his sleep. He deliriously looked around at his surroundings trying to get his crystal clear vision back.

When his vision finally did clear, he noticed that activity has started picking up in the park. He saw a few people bringing in venue equipment as if they were setting up for a concert or a special occasion. It then hit Arby that these people must be here to set up for Septemberfest.

He turned his attention too Twilight who was still sleeping.

"Twilight, get up," he said gently shaking her.

She grumbled a bit and yawned as she slowly opened her eyes. When Arby's face came in clear view, her eyes shot wide open and let out a startled yelp while bumping the back of her head against the tree.

"Ow!" she cried rubbing the irritated spot.

"Oh my Celestia! Are you okay?"

"Yeah...I'm fine. You just startled me that's all," Twilight replied sheepishly.

"I guess your still not use to my real appearance huh?"

"I guess not." She then looked around. "What's going on?"

"My guess is that their starting to set up for Septemberfest."

"We need to find someone who has the time. Who knows how long we've been out."

Arby turned his gaze toward the area where he knew the sun would set. He knew they wouldn't have time to ask anyone for a watch.

"Judging by the little celestial light on the horizon, it has to be somewhere in 1800 hours."

"What?"

"What I meant to say is that it's somewhere in the six-o-clock zone of the evening."

"Oh," Twilight said blushing with embarrassment. She wasn't big on military time conversion.

"So we still have another six hours before the spell wears off. I just hope your right about them coming here," she said still looking worried.

"It's going to be okay Twilight. Knowing Chief or Pinkie, they would always want to go to an area for a good time. Of course Chief only goes to see if he can pick up girls, but we both know Pinkie couldn't resist as well. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if she was helping to plan out this event."

Twilight smiled.

"You're right Arby. Forgive me for my doubtfulness. I guess it was something I was born with."

She then looked at the ground guiltily.

"Don't sweat it Twilight. Sometimes I even doubt myself; but I will never doubt royalty."

She brightened up a bit. Before she could say anything else, a familiar male voice asked, "Twilight, is that you?"

Twilight turned to face a handsome young man with blue eyes and blue hair that he wore in spikes that were slicked back slightly. Twilight knew it was the human counterpart of Flash Sentry. It didn't matter if he was a pony or a human, she blushed either way. Accompanying him were his band mates.

"Yeah," she replied with a shy smile.

"What are you doing here? I thought the portal wouldn't open for another two-in-a-half years from now?" he asked with a surprised and excited look and tone.

"Oh. You see we're here to recover someone very important. We have only until midnight to bring him back to Equestria," Twilight explained.

Flash raised an eyebrow. "We?"

"Yeah. Me and Arby here," Twilight replied acknowledging him.

When Flash and his friends finally noticed Arby, they gasped and jumped back a step. Typical reaction when you see a real life alien in person.

"Yes I know how strange he looks, but believe me he's good,"

"And I also can speak English too."

The guys stood dumbfounded for a moment, but then decided to go along with it. They just assumed since Arby was with Twilight, he was a being from her world; although he somehow didn't turn into a human himself.

"So? who is this guy that your looking for?" Flash asked.

"His name is Master Chief; but everyone just calls him Chief for short. You can't miss him. He's a guy dressed in a heavy armored suit. He also wears a helmet with a yellow visor masking his face," Twilight described.

Flash and his friends thought for a moment.

"I'm sorry Twilight, but I'm afraid neither one of us saw this guy," Flash said shrugging.

"It's alright, we're expecting him to show up here. We believe he is currently with Pinkie and the others."

"Well your in luck. Pinkie has been helping out to plan and prepare this party, but she has been missing most of the afternoon, along with her friends. I'm sure it's nothing bad. We just have to assume their getting the last minute preparations; but it's strange through that it's taken them nearly the entire evening," Flash explained. "Say, would you and your friend here be willing to help out? I mean were a little short of hands right now. You can even come to the festival as well. But if your too busy, I understand."

Twilight was hesitant. she despirately wanted to take part in the town celebration, but she knew she had a job to do. But then she remembered to relax because she trusted the fact that Chief would show up to the party. She just needed a way to check the time.

"We'll be happy to give you guys a hand and join in on Semptemberfest, we just need someway to keep track of time. You see at midnight tonight, the spell that's allowing me to cross into this dimension and back too Equestria will dissipate. Sorry if my time here is short again, but I promise I'll find a way to come here more frequently. Perhaps I can discuss it with Princess Celestia when I get back."

"Princess Celestia?" he asked. Apparently he was never informed about Equestria's citizens or political leaders.

"Yeah. In my world, the principal and vice principal are alicorn princesses," Twilight explained with a small embarrassed blush.

"Oh. Well that's pretty awesome," Flash said with an amused smile.

Twilight blushed even deeper.

Flash then remembered what had to be done.

"We better get to work. The festival is starting in two hours and we're not even close to being done," he said.

Twilight and Arby looked at one another and nodded.

"Okay. Just tell us what we have to do."


After two hours of hard work and effort, the park venue for Septemberfest was finally completed and well decorated. It was still a shame through that Pinkie wasn't there to help out with the activity because it was her thing. Flash and his band decided to warm up the mood by playing a few songs onstage. They figured that Pinkie will follow the sound and come to them. Everybody knew it wasn't a real party without Pinkie.

By good fortune, Pinkie was well on her way with her friends; and the wanted Chief. Who knows how this reunion is going to turn out?

Reunion Tour

Pinkie, Chief and the others were on their way back to the park. Pinkie just couldn't believe that the festival started without her, and was also sad that she couldn't be involved with the rest of the preparations. She guessed as long as music played, the guests would be happy; but everyone knew it wasn't a real party without Pinkie.

The girls were still tired from their search, but were motivated by the music of the festival. Chief was still un-phased by exhaustion which was completely unbelievable. The girls couldn't get over how tall he was either.

Seven feet and eight inches wasn't a natural height for any human being at all. People who grow to that height usually don't live long.

His height and stature may have seem intimidating, but frankly he wasn't as tough as he looked. Since he wasn't the actual Master Chief, his armor was still made of light and thin plastic as if he was still an action figure. That would explain how he couldn't tolerate pain like the real Master Chief; also that he didn't have energy shields either.

The girls could only assume that this Arby could have been the same height, or worse even taller. But after seeing that video of him drinking semen out of cups, he couldn't be taken seriously as a threat.

When they arrived, the party was pretty lively even without Pinkie, but she made sure to jump in before it all changed which left Chief with Fluttershy, AJ, RD, Sunset, and Rarity to search for Arby and Twilight.

"htf r we g0nna find th3m n this shit?" Chief asked. "its liek plehying w3res wa1do"

"Well it should be easy to spot Twilight with her long purple hair and pink streak," Sunset replied. "As for this Arby guy, he should be a freaking alien obviously.

"A gay one," RD added.

"Oh please, I'm sure that was all acted out anyway. I could tell by the way he was talking. Sure it was monotone, but I could tell he really wasn't enjoying it," Rarity said indifferently with her arms crossed.

"i was. lmao"

"Let's stay focused y'all," AJ reminded. "We need ta drop that silly video from our heads an' get back to the real world ya hear?"

Everyone agreed, but Chief could never let it go. It was too priceless!

Since their were so many people, and that the park was really spread out, finding Twilight or Arby was like playing a game of finding a needle in a haystack; a rather huge haystack.

One landmark that stood out was the park's clock tower that stood at the center of it.

You know what they all say, if you're looking for someone, they'll always be at the biggest sites. Unless that's not really not a saying at all. But it is a great assumption through.

Fluttershy took notice of the clock tower and said, "I think we should check out the clock tower. Surely if their looking for us, they would expect us to go to the biggest structure in this park. If it's okay with everyone else I mean."

"I agree with Fluttershy. You can always count on the landmarks to be good rendezvous point," RD stated.

Fluttershy blushed sweetly.

"Let's get a move on then gang," AJ said.

***

In another area of the park, Arby and Twilight enjoyed the festivities of the party while simultaneously looking for any signs of the girls, or Chief. It obviously wasn't easy of course.

Twilight and Arby still got attention from the locals. Some people wanted an autograph or a photo with Twilight which she did do, while some people tried to keep their distance from Arby. His intimidating tall height and looks turned off many. Also that he was a real life alien as well!

Twilight and Arby glanced at the distant clock tower every now and then to check up on the time. It was now currently 8:23PM; still enough time.

If they picked up their pace a bit, they might have a good chance of finding Chief or the others in no time, but the constant attention was making it rather difficult for them. Twilight did appreciate being appreciated as a hero by people from a different world, but when there's a dimensional dilemma at stake, it's a little hard to enjoy.

After moments of useless searching, worry began to envelope them both.

"Oh where could they be?" Twilight fretted.

"I wish I knew, Twilight. I really did," Arby replied shrugging uncertainly. He wish he could say something comforting, but nothing came to mind. Plus he probably knew his words wouldn't work at this kind of situation.

He scanned every aspect of the surrounding area looking for anything that could be useful. As if by some cosmetic instinct, he focused his attention on the clock tower.

"I suggest we head over there," Arby said pointing at the landmark.

Twilight followed his indication.

"Why?" she asked curiously.

"Something tells me that Chief and the others are going to meet us there."

Twilight was a bit skeptical. She never believed in pure coincidences of knowing where someone will show up. Of course Pinkie was always the one to manage such unnatural talents human or pony.

After a moment of considering, she finally gave in.

"Alright, but you better be one hundred percent sure, nothing less then that," she said firmly.

Arby prayed that he was one hundred percent sure as well. The fate of the two worlds rested on Arby's instincts. Surely Arby and Cheif's presence wouldn't upset the balance, but Twilight didn't want to be stuck in another world away from her friends and Celestia, even through the inhabitants were similar to them. But it was world without magic, Twilight would definitely become homesick.

Arby was in a crisis too. If he couldn't return too Equestria for two in-a-half years, he somehow knew that Applejack will find another stallion. She could probably wait for him if she was that loyal, but Arby didn't want to take any chances.

Together, Arby and Twilight made a break for the clock tower with hours, minutes, and seconds ticked away before the spell letting them return to Equestria would fade.




Clash and Return

Both parties were heading toward one another at about the same pace completely unaware that the other side was heading toward the same area. Who knows what sort of supernatural force was guiding them, but thank Celestia for it!

It did seem strange that both of them knew that the clock tower would be a perfect RV point for a unplanned meetup, but somehow it would be well worth the hunches that were made. One possibility is the link between Twilight and her friends; the same with Arby and Chief as well. That had to be the conclusion right there!

After a moment or two of getting through tough crowds and gawking people, the groups that have been separated for most of the time have finally reunited with eachother! Chief was disappointed to see that the human Twilight wasn't sexy like her human friends. That bowtie on her shirt was a complete turnoff for him.

The girls, even Pinkie who somehow rejoined them, embraced Twilight in a tight hug.

Sunset as she promised apologized to Twilight for all the wrong she's been doing her and the entire school. They both knew they made nice, but Sunset still wasn't sure if she was completely forgiven.

Twilight humbly accepted her apology even through she told Sunset she already forgiven her.

Arby's and Chief's reunion didn't show any love. Instead it showed a bit of tension.

"w311 l00k wat teh catz dragg3d n" Chief said unamused.

"Nice to see you again too, Chief," Arby retorted sarcastically.

When Arby spoke, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer acknowledged him.

They jumped back at his intimidating tall stature and rather unpleasant appearance. None was more startled then Fluttershy who *eeped* and cowered behind RD. This alien was way more taller than Chief so that's why Arby seemed more terrifying.

Twilight herself was shocked by how tall Chief was in this realm. Sure he wasn't as tall as Arby, but his height was still unnatural to any human that she's ever seen before.

RD's startlement subsided when she remembered the video. A smile formed on her mouth.

"So you're the cum drinking alien?" she asked him.

Arby was taken aback by what she said.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh don't play dumb. You drank cups of semen on camera for YouTube. We all saw it."

Arby took a moment to process the situation. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks.

"That was only a popularity stunt. Chief thought our show would get more hits if we became more offensive. Shockingly, he was correct."

"a1s0 4 teh dubstep as w311. wub wub m0th3rfuckers!" Chief added proudly.

"Hey, if you say so," RD said shrugging. "Hell, you have an upvote from me."

"thx :)"

"Let's get too business here," Twilight stepped in. She then turned too Chief with authority. "You're coming back too Equestria with us."

"butt i dun want 2 g0 back" Chief said crossing his arms. "i <3 this p1ece"

"Sorry Chief. As cool as this place looks, it's best that we don't reside here, especially you in particular."

"stfu. im a k001 guy"

"You made fun of someone already and hurt her feelings," Twilight said.

The girls murmured in shock and surprise. Chief never told them he made someone cry, but that was just him.

"h3y. i was jst giving sum gud advice. th00se i's w3rent natura1"

"It doesn't matter if it was good advice Chief. This world may not be run by harmony, but the last thing it needs right now is you and me around. We both have gotten a lot of unwanted attention I'm sure and it must be intimidating."

"no. i liek it win teh bitches add mire my buff b0dy /flex /thrust /flex. o y3ah! s3xy ch33f n teh h0use! "

Arbiter face-palmed while the girls tried to hide their blushes.

"What if it's a gay guy?" Arby countered.

Chief immediately stopped.

"o y3ah. ur rite. st331 i r3fuse 2 l3ave! so fuck u guys!" Chief stated and turned away with disdain.

Arby knew only one way to get Chief's attention in a matter like this. Thankfully it wasn't conflict. Arby focused his attack on Chief's gullibility.

"Your marefriend has found a way to increase the pleasure from your drunken sex sessions. Also that there's a very special pirate treasure waiting for you. It contains all the Halo games you ever wanted."

Chief turned to Arby in surprise and excitement.

"rly?"

"Yes, but she'll only show you and you'll get the treasure if you return to Equestria."

"w311 wtf r we waiting 4? lets g0 a1r3ady!"

Arby nodded to Twilight to give her the signal to summon her magic.

The element on Twilight's crown began to glow as she concentrated her magic into her crown to open a portal like Celestia explained.

The element grew brighter and brighter as twilight continued her concentration. Her face became more hard as she gave it her all to charge up the levels.

When the magic reached full power, a beam of bright magenta light shot from Twilight's crown, and hit an invisible wall in the air where the portal formed.

The girls stared in awe, but Chief eagerly jumped into the portal not wanting to stand around any longer. Before he went in he proudly stated, "TEH PIRATES LIEF IS TEH LIEF 4 MEH! LOLOLOLOL @ A BOTIL OF WIN!"

Arby and Twilight just shook their heads in amusement.

"That was more easy then I thought," Twilight said. "I thought it would be more difficult."

"Chief is a very easy worm to pick, so nothing is really too difficult to deal with him. Also considering the fact that he's not the real Master Chief, just like I'm not the real Arbiter."

Twilight giggled.

"I agree. Now c'mon, let's ago before the portal closes."

"Oh, you have to leave again so soon?" Pinkie asked obviously very disappointed and sad.

"Yeah, but don't worry. I'll have a talk with the princess for ways I can return and stay here as long as I wish. I really want to know more about this world and spend more time with you guys. I really do! It just seems that this was the second time I was sent here to do only royal services. I swear the next time I come, I'll be one hundred percent free."

"You Pinkie Promise?" Pinkie asked.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Pinkie stared at her dumbfounded.

"How did you know the jingle?" she asked.

"Just a hunch *sqee*," Twilight replied.

Pinkie just shrugged.

"Okey dokey lokey then," Pinkie said shrugging but had a smile back on her face. Also that her hair inflated to full fluffiness.

"It was great to see you again darling. Hopefully you can tell me what your people wear next time so I can think of a new designer line," Rarity said.

"Maybe we could all go to the movies together when you get back," Sunset said. "It would be so much fun because I don't think Equestria has theatres like they do here."

"Ah wish ya the best sugarcube," AJ said with a wink and thumbs up. she then turned to Arby. "Ah hope my pony is happy with ya."

"Oh, she is. I do stuff for her and she does stuff for me. We're both practically a team," Arby explained.

"That's good ta hear then," AJ said content, but still a little uncertain about her counterpart dating an alien.

"Um...I'm glad you came back to us for this brief reunion. If that's okay to say," Fluttershy meekly said with an adorable smile.

Twilight smiled warmly and said, "Of course it is."

Fluttershy blushed again.

"I'm going to throw a huge party for you when you come back!" Pinkie said with full enthusiasm. "It will be the best party ever!!"

"I'll be looking forward to it," Twilight said. She then remembered that they needed to go home now. She turned too Arby, "Let's go!"

"Wait!" RD cried. Everyone turned to look at her.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"Who is Chief's marefriend?"

Twilight and Arby looked at eachother smiling.

"Let's just say she's athletic just like you," Twilight replied.

"And she can fly as well," Arby added.

Twilight and Arby then jumped through the portal as it sealed behind them. It's a shame they didn't get to see RD's reaction because she knew who they were referring too.

She began stuttering nonsense before she collapsed and twitched on the ground. Her friends looked down on her concerned and worried.

"Oh goodness! Are you okay Rainbow?" Fluttershy asked her troubled friend looking very scared and worried.

"I'm......fucking.....a.....robot?" was all RD could manage.

"Well at least it's not as bad as an alien," AJ said.

Everyone laughed except RD who continued to twitch on the ground.

Not to worry, RD would soon overcome her sudden shock.

Epilogue

As Twilight and Arby traveled back through the dimensional plains, they felt themselves change back into their pony forms. Luckily for Arby, his transference wasn't painful and rough this time.

Twilight got back down on all fours as she exited the portal, same thing with Arby. Twilight was relieved to see him in his pony form again. He was no longer really tall or intimidating anymore.

"WAT IS TEH M3ANING OF THIS?1?!1 L3T ME G0 FAGETS!1!"

Twilight and Arby turned their attention to Chief who was apprehended by two Crystal Empire guard ponies. They snatched him as soon as he arrived.

"Sorry Chief, but this is for your own good. You can't escape punishment," Arby said calmly.

"s0 u li3d 2 me so i w00d cum h3re 2 g3t rap3d?"

"You're not going to be violated Chief. I have decided during my time to think that you shall be placed in a correctional facility to help make you a better pony. We don't know how much more of your mischief we can take. We may have tolerated it before, but what you did to Cadence and my brother was absolutely unacceptable!" Twilight hissed.

"sry"

"Sorry won't help you anymore, Chief. You have crossed the line and now you must pay the price. This is for your own good." She then turned too the guards. "You make take him away now."

The guards nodded and dragged Chief away.

"i wi11 n3var forgave u 4 this!" Chief shouted.

"Good, then you won't forget it," Twilight replied emotionless.

The doors closed behind the guards and Chief before he could say another word.

"You really think they can change him?" Arby asked.

"I'm one hundred percent positive. Of course it may take a few years through according to my estimate," Twilight said confidently.

"I can wait that long," Arby said with a smile. Twilight smiled too.


When Twilight and Arby arrived at the Ponyville train station, they were instantly welcomed by the friends. They were saying that they were so worried about them and how their counterparts were doing.

Applejack feverishly and passionately kissed Arby who enthusiastically returned it.

"Oh sugarcube! Ah missed ya so much!" AJ cried with happy tears. "Ah'm so glad yer safe along with Twi!"

"Me too sweetheart, me too," Arby said hugging AJ in a comforting embrace.

RD looked around curiously.

"Where's Chief?" she asked.

"Let's just say he won't be back for quite a long time. When he returns, he will be a brand new stallion," Twilight said. "I guess you'll need to find a new stallion to mate with."

"Hey it's cool. I'd rather rut while I'm sober. That way I can at least remember the experience," RD said not showing any hint of disappointment.

"Oh I hope he's going to be alright through, even after the way he's treated us; he still deserves some sympathy," Fluttershy said.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, we all think he'll be perfectly alright," Twilight reassured with a content smile followed along by everypony else.

***

Three Years Later

Life was great for Arby and the girls for the past few years now without that bothersome Chief around to ruin their day and lives for that matter. It was like they could breathe freely without a trouble in the world.

Twilight mastered a spell that allowed her to travel freely to the parallel world and back to Equestria at will so she could spend more time with her friends human counterparts and learn more about their world. It took a while, but she eventually mastered it. It was her determination that helped her along.

Arby and Applejack eventually got engaged and married after several months of the events with Chief. They settled on her farm so she would never be away from her family. They both decided they really didn't want to have foals because they weren't sure how many more mouths they could feed. Arby got a vasectomy so he and Applejack could mate without running the risk of getting her pregnant.

Also Cadence and Shining Armor quickly recovered from their laxative ordeal.

As for Chief, after years of hard and strenuous training, he was finally reformed into a better stallion. His vocabulary and speech were improved along with his mannerism. He also dropped his need to play Halo constantly. He still played it, but he greatly opened up to other games and consoles.

Arby and the friends were already waiting for him at the train station because today was the day he was released from the correctional facility.

When Chief stepped off, he looked completely different. Mainly because he was no longer wearing his armor and helmet so his unknown face was proudly displayed. For his cutie mark, he had a green Spartan helmet etched on the tan coat of his flanks.

"Hey guys! How are all of you doing on this fine day?" Chief asked with a friendly smile.

Arby and the girls were surprised at first because they weren't use to Chief looking, or talking like this but quickly got over it.

"We're all doing great Chief. What about you?" Twilight asked.

"Never been better. I have somepony I want you guys too meet. C'mon Greg, don't be shy."

'Greg?' Arby thought surprised.

Stepping off the train next to Chief was a light brown unicorn stallion with a light brown and black mane and tail. Oddly his cutie mark resembled a spider. The color of his eye pupils were a crimson red. He wore a saddlebag over his back that contained a quill and ink along with multiple sheets of blank paper.

Arby stared in disbelief for a moment then asked, "Is that really you Greg?"

The unicorn used his magic to pull out the three items from his saddlebag and used them to write a response on the sheet of paper. He then turned it for all to view. It read, Yes it is! It's been too long Arby!

Since the paper were full sheets, Greg didn't have to abbreviate his sentences, and since he had a face, he could use actual expressions instead of emoticons.

"Wait! You know this unicorn?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah from a while ago when me and Chief were still toys. Greg was a spider at that time incase you were wondering."

The girls looked at eachother confused. RD remembered Chief once mentioned a guy named Greg who Arby had gay sex with. She thought it was best not to bring up that subject again so she said nothing.

"Why can't he speak?" Rarity asked.

"Greg told me that when he arrived in Equestria, he couldn't make a sound from his mouth because he somehow lacked vocal cords. He desperately tried, but no sound was emitted," Chief explained.

"But how did you get here? The way me and Chief got here was caused by..."

Greg cut him off by flashing the paper in his face that said, Death?

"How did you know? Did you die in the explosion too?"

No

"Then what then if you don't mind me asking?"

Greg looked at Arby as if he expected him to already know the answer, but jot down the cause anyway.

Frightened humans

"Oh," Arby said blushing with embarrassment.

"Well spider or not, welcome to Equestria Greg. We hope you like it here," Twilight said with a friendly smile.

I know I will Greg wrote smiling back.

"Well if you guys will excuse me now. I have a job to look for," Chief said. "I need to get back on my hoofs here in Ponyville.

"Where are you going to apply?" Twilight asked.

"Sugarcube Corner,"

Everypony gasped in shock. They all knew what happened last time Chief tried baking there.

Relax guys. I took baking lessons and passed," Chief reassured with a confident grin.

"Really?" Pinkie asked suspiciously.

"Of course. Who would be stupid enough to bake without knowledge of how to do it?"

"Uhhh," is what everypony replied with.

"No worries. It'll all be fine. You can always keep an eye on me if you wish."

Pinkie was comfortable with that statement.

It seemed that this time life in Equestria for Arby, Chief, and everypony else just got a lot better. Since Chief was smart now, and Greg was with them; things looked way more brighter then they were before. It stunk that Cortana wasn't there to complete the picture, but they all assumed she could've been somewhere in Equestria, just not Ponyville for the time being. Either way, the future for everypony looked very positive and beautiful whether a friend was missing. They would always be with you in your heart. Who knows, maybe one day their paths would cross with Cortana; but they couldn't be sure. Fate works in odd ways.

When Chief was far enough out of earshot, he got a mischievous look on his face.

"wat a bunch 0f suck3rs. lulz"

See what I mean by odd ways. You never actually know if it's with you or against you.
