Previous Chapter Next Chapter*POV 3rd person*
Talguda jumped to avoid another bolt of lightning, curtesy of the Hordika dragon, it was missing a wing and it’s face was half destroyed, with sparks jumping out of a massive hole where the side of its face and part of its jaw should have been. Gelphana back-handed the dragon using it’s shield before blocking a tail swipe, He then charged at the dragon before impaling it’s head using his clawed gauntlet and ripping its head off with a flick of the wrist.
“Fucking newbie” he spat, dropping the head as the lights in its one good eye faded.
“Sir!” a griffin called “we need your help” Gelphana ran over to find a family trapped inside a people carrier, whilst its engine was engulfed in flames.
“I’m gonna need you to remain calm” He said, dropping his shield before jamming his gauntlet through the front door and ripping it off before doing the same with the rear door. The family quickly climbed out and no sooner had they gotten clear than the vehicle exploded “That was a close one”
“Yes” Raz agreed, before looking in the distance, where the city of London was located, squinting, bringing his sniper to bare and quickly looking through the scope before muttering a curse in Sangheili.
“You see something, Elite” Gelphana asked.
“Trouble” he said, pressing a button on the side before handing the rifle to the Spherus Magnan, who took it in one hand and aimed in the direction of the city before looking down the scope. There, on the tallest building stood Teridax.
“Not good” He said, activating his comlink.
*POV 1st Person Vuur Koning*
I climbed onto the side of a Kikanalo to catch a quick break whilst the CMC began to take care of the remaining dragons. Just as I climbed onto the roof with the help of Autumn, my comlink spluttered into life.
“Vuur Koning” Gelphana said “You better hurry up killing those Dragons, ‘cause guess who showed up in London”
“Shit!” I shouted before standing up, getting out my swords, leaping off the APC to the front of the Convey, jumping on the back of the rearmost Dragon and decapitating it, and leaping onto the next one along before doing the same with each consecutive Hordika Dragon until all that was left was their headless corpses littering the motorway. I stepped off the last Hordika dragon before activating my com-link.
“We’ll go on ahead, summon the Jörmungandr and however many British Army troops and tech you can get your hands on” I said to Gelphana “We’ve come too far for him to escape again!” I then turned into my Protoform Alicorn form and turned to Vapaa
“Get the convoy to the City as fast as possible” I said, beginning to walk away and stretching my wings.
“What about you?” he asked. I stopped and looked at Vapaa out of the corner of my eyes
“I’m gonna show Teridax what happens when he attacks my city” I said. “Personally, and with extreme prejudice!” I put emphasis on the ‘extreme’ part, then crouched down and kicked off from the asphalt with enough force to leave a five-foot crater and a sonic flameboom in my wake. As I flew towards London, my vastly enhanced vision focussed on Teridax, his claws digging into the glass on the side of the shard and an infuriatingly smug look on his face, my focus then began to flit through the city of London, seeing Rahkshi rounding up civilians and killing those that tried to escape. I then accelerated forward with enough force to cause a second flameboom and I saw Teridax look in my direction just as I slammed into him, demolishing part of the tip of the Shard in the process, I grabbed hold of him with my magic as we both tumbled towards the streets below. He might be larger, stronger and have a larger array of abilities, but I possessed greater raw magic, waiting to be utilised. I then pulled him in front of me as we slammed into the ground.
“Teridax!” I roared in my Royal Canterlot Voice, picking him up and slamming him into the side of the Shard, before bringing him over to me and looking him dead in the eyes “when you attack my home, my country! You make this personal, if you don’t order your Rahkshi to stand down now, I will destroy you, and I will not only show you the full might of a fully-fledged god, but also what happens when you piss me off, this ends NOW!” I then launched him down the streets and into a building. I noticed my mane and tail were flowing like flames, and were a bright red and orange. ‘guess I’m in my ‘nova’ form’ I thought absent mindedly. Teridax chuckled.
“It feels good, doesn’t it?” He asked, stepping out of the building and wiping antidermis way from his mouth “The righteous rage, the anger?”
“Don’t even try it, Teridax” I snarled “Stand the fuck down, or I will make sure that not a single one of your miserable species is left walking this universe” he harrumphed.
“fine, you win, for now” he said “But know this, human, I will strike back” I went to say something, but a massive explosion rocked the Shard and Teridax quickly grabbed me before launching us both into the air.
“The fuck was that!” I exclaimed, before looking in the direction of the Shard to find the massive building toppling over, I looked at Teridax in surprise “You saved me, why?” I noticed his eyes were flickering between red and blue.
“Because I couldn’t possible hope to defeat them with just my Makutacons” he said, pointing to the skies, where an absolutely colossal Covenant ship was hovering.
“Of fucking course” I muttered. He stepped forward.
“You and I both know we can’t take them separately” He said, his eyes turning blue “but together, we might just stand a chance”
“Why the sudden change of heart?” I asked.
“Let’s just say they knocked some sense into me” He said “if they win, there will be nothing left for either of us”
“Fine” I said “but I’m calling the shots” he nodded and a phantom hovered above us before dropping multiple troops, which quickly surrounded us, I summoned a scythe before standing back to back with Teridax.
“I hope you can dodge” He said “because don’t expect me to provide any protection for you”
“I just hope you can keep up with me” I said, twirling my scythe.
“Drop your weapons,” An Elite said “or we will open fire”
“[You’re just going to open fire anyway]” I said in Sangheili, surprising them “[and you Covenant scum have made the mistake of attacking my home]” I promptly levelled my horn at the Elite and unleashed a wave of fire which incinerated him, and a number of his fellow soldiers, from existence. I cast a regeneration spell on Teridax before inhaling.
“MID VUR SHAAN!” a glow surrounded Teridax’s staff and he quickly swiped a small group of Grunts out of the way before effortlessly dodging the gunfire from the remaining Covenant, I promptly unleashed a torrent of fire from my mouth, incinerating the last of them.
“What are you; Alicorn, Neu-Toa or Dragon?” Teridax asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Alicorn of fire and a Neu-Toa” I said. Teridax then leapt up to one of the skyscrapers.
“My fellow Makutacons and allies!” he called “Attack the Covenant, fight with the humans!” I flew up into the air before turning towards the capital ship.
“You attack my home, my people!” I shouted, projecting my voice as far as I could “You will pay for this mistake with your lives!! all of the cannons and guns on the ship quickly aimed at me before unleashing a barrage of plasma fire at me. I put up no protective wards, nor did I flinch in the slightest as the plasma blasts slammed into me and rolled off my body in tiny rivulets. Once the smoke cleared I opened my eyes and smirked as my mane and tail exploded into great flames.
“My turn” I said.
*POV 3rd Person*
As the convoy entered city, they notice two things. One as the massive Covenant capital cruiser and the complete absence of The Shard, second was Vuur Coning in his Alicorn form fending off countless Banshees.
“Bloody hell” Minion said “He’s totally insane taking them alone”
“I wouldn’t say he’s alone” Autumn said, looking at the Rahkshi and Dark Hunters fending off the Covenant, suddenly a red and black supercar shot past, headed towards a wraith that was turning towards the convoy and transformed into Antroz before jumping on the top of the alien tank and pulling the cannon up just before the tank fired, causing the tank to undershoot the convoy. Vapaa swerved to avoid the shot and stopped
“Get to Vuur Koning!” Antroz called, turning his right hand into a canon and firing at the turret “I’ll handle this lot” Vapaa quickly led the convoy down one of the side streets as the canon of the Wraith exploded, Antroz ripped the tattered remains off before flinging them to one side.
“I might not like the Toa” He said, “but I will gladly fight with them to stop honourless scum like you from laying waste to everything” he then fired at the engine and leapt off the tank as it exploded.
“Because what point is there in fighting amongst ourselves if there will be nothing left to fight for” he was surrounded by spectrum coloured aura and his eyes turned blue as he walked away.
Vapaa swerved to avoid another load of rubble as a nearby building came crashing down.
“We need to get to that capital cruiser fast!” Vapaa said “The Covenant are raising this city to the ground. Minion, think you know the way?”
“Don’t ask me!” Minion shot back “I used to live 200 odd miles north of London, and the last time I even stepped foot in the city was a good 7 years ago”
“Dammit” Vapaa muttered. Swerving once again as a Banshee dived at them “Scattershot, take it down!”
“Way ahead of you” He said, before unleashing a barrage of missiles at the alien aircraft, which exploded in a spectacular fireball.
“We’re gonna need the Jörmungandr here soon” Vinyl said from the top of their Kikanalo, levelling her bass canon at a wraith and unleashing a wave of sound at it, destroying it.
“We’ll have to make do until then” one of the British Army troops said, unloading a clip at an Elite as they drove past “I thought these things only existed in video games.
“Welcome to the Multiverse, mate” Minion said “where every evil creature you can think of is real and will try to hunt you down before slaughtering you in the most painful way you can imagine” eventually they made their way to Trafalgar Square, where a number of Makuta were fending off a swarm of banshees. The convoy opened fire of the Covenant forces, quickly driving them back and destroying any that were too slow to escape.
“Toa” Krika acknowledged, nodding to Minion.
“Makuta” Minion replied with a straight face, nodding back.
“Oh, for bucks sake” Vinyl exclaimed, as she walked over “you couldn’t find two people more awkward if you put two naive lovers in a room together and asked them to buck each other’s brains out” Icarax burst out laughing.
“You know what?” he said, his eyes turning blue “I think this alliance got a bit more tolerable”
On board the Jörmungandr, they were getting ready for a huge teleport.
“Let us hope the damage to the city isn’t too great.” Luna said, looking out the window on the bridge. Suddenly her vision was engulfed in white light and the appeared dangerously close to the Covenant vessel.
“Open Fire!” She shouted. The ships guns rounded on the Covenant vessel on opened fire, the first barrage destroyed the ships shields, and the second tore a hole in the side. the ship began to list alarmingly before falling out of the sky and into the streets below.
“Send out the troops, search for survivors” Celestia barked “I want them brought back alive!”
*POV 1st Person Vuur Koning*
My rampage against the Covenant was brought to a halt by the arrival of the Jormungandr, followed by the subsequent scuttling of the Covenant ship. I flew over to the Jörmungandr to find Celestia and Luna, stood on the top deck of the ship.
“Sisters” I greeted.
“Greetings, brother” Luna said “our troops are searching the ship for survivor as we speak, with the intention of bringing them back alive”
“Good” I said “I’m pleased we didn’t have to drag this out any longer than we should have” Celestia then looked at me sadly.
“Just…promise me one thing” she said, I motioned for her to go on “don’t go near the survivors if you can help it, most would have been following orders, it’s not their fault”
“I know” I said, sighing before resting my head on the railing and looking out over the once proud city “I can’t believe it, this used to be my home, I was raised here, now look at it. In ruins” Luna put a wing over me comfortingly.
“It will recover” she said “From what I understand, your kind are good at rebuilding lives”
“Let’s hope they don’t hold onto grudges with other nations” I said “we’re gonna need to get them to unite if we are to hold any chance of succeeding in this war” suddenly my com-link crackled into life.
“Dad” Ruby said “You aren’t gonna believe what we’ve found aboard the ship”
*POV 3rd Person*
Ruby and Breezy made their way through the wreckage of the ship, electrical components sparked, they came across and injured Elite and quickly and sternly directed him in the direction of the exit. After searching through their designated sector for a while and finding nothing they were getting ready to head back.
“come on” Ruby said “so far most of the crew we’ve found are dea…” Breezy cut her off.
“Hush” she said “I heard something” then she heard it again, a cry for help. It was in an alien tongue for sure, but it was a cry of distress all the same, it also sounded young, alarmingly so.
“That doesn’t sound good” Ruby said, cautiously walking in the direction of the sound, they soon came to a set of cabins, or what passed for cabins “how do you work the doors again?” Breezy rolled her eyes before stepping forward and pressing the button to open the door
“Falling behind on your Halo lore?” the Ceffyl Dŵr asked, raising an eyebrow “I am disappointed in you”
“Shut it” Ruby said, they walked through the door and surveyed the carnage inside “right, this place is a du…whoa!” she was startled by a small shape darting across the dark hallway and she opened fire with her automatic rifle on instinct.
“You silly twat!” Breezy chastised, shoving the barrel of the gun towards the ground before cautiously trotting forward until she came across a sight which made her gasp in shock; huddled up in a corner in absolute terror, was a very young Elite, no older than 10 “What in the gods’ names is a youngling doing on a war vessel? Even the covenant is above sending mere children to war” she began to approach, only for the youngling to try to get further away. Breezy sighed before putting her rifle on the floor and laying down, trying to make herself seem as unthreatening as possible, she then began to sing in her native language. Soon Ruby did the same and joined in with Breezy. By the time they had finished the youngling had calmed down significantly.
“[What’s your name]?” Ruby asked. The Atqueans spoke a language practically identical to Sangheili, so Ruby had learnt a few bits and pieces from Thel over the years. The youngling looked at her in confusion, momentarily stumped by the slight differences, and her apparent accent, before answering.
“[I…never really had a proper name]” he said “[I’m an orphan and I never really felt the need for one, I snuck aboard this ship with the intention of hopping to a different planet, but I guess that’s not an option now]” Ruby quickly explained the situation to Breezy and they quickly came to a decision.
“[What if we looked after you]?” Ruby asked “[if you stick with us we can keep you safe]”
“[How do I know I can trust you]?” he asked.
“[Let’s just say our family is very accepting of others]” Ruby said “[how does the name] Aiden [sound]?” the Elite tried it a few times, before nodding in acceptance.
“[What does it mean]?” he asked.
“[A pupil; one who learns]” she said, standing up “[it’s from the language my marefriend], Breezy [speaks]”
“[Marefriend]” Aiden asked.
“Can we talk about this later, when we’re in the comfort of our cabin?” Breezy asked.
“[Come on, we’ll explain later]” Breezy said, beckoning the youngling with a wing “[and we’ll start teaching you how to speak our languages]” As they walked out of the ship Ruby opened up the com-link to Vuur Koning.
“Dad? You aren’t gonna believe what we’ve found” she said.
*POV 1st Person Vuur Koning*
“Are you out of your Kirin mind!?” I asked. Ruby and I were in a room on our own, as per my request once I’d seen the Sangheili youngling. I was in my Alicorn form, and pacing back and forth whilst Ruby sulked “you can’t be serious, adopting a Sangheili youngling!?”
“So what?” she asked “you were no older when you adopted me and Garnet”
“I’m not talking about age” I hissed, before taking a deep breath to calm myself. “Things are very different on Sangheilios, once a child is born they are looked after by an entire town, the concept of family doesn’t go past a wife and husband”
“He was a fucking orphan!” she protested.
“Don’t swear!” I said “you might only be a few years younger than me, but I will not have you swearing in front of me” I then walked over to a balcony and sighed before sitting on my haunches.
“Fine” I said “I’ll talk to Raz, see what he thinks on the matter, but if he says no, then ‘Aiden’ is leaving on the first ship to Sangheilios. no complaining, no nothing. However, if it does come to that, I’ll let you keep in contact”
“Thank you” Ruby said, nuzzling me, before giggling “Looks like I’ve picked up your habit of adopting every species under the sun” I chuckled.
“By this rate our family will contain every species under the sun” I said, before rolling my eyes “what’s next? A Kirin-Ceffyl Dŵr hybrid”
“Well, you’d be surprised at what’s possible with magic” she said, a smirk on her face.
“Please tell me you’re joking.” I said, worry starting to creep into my voice. She giggled before walking away.
“We’ll see” she said, before walking out of the room
“What the hell have I gotten myself into?” I asked to no one in particular.
“What do you mean, Vuur?” I heard Luna say from behind me, she walked over until she was stood next to me on the balcony.
“Let’s just say I wasn’t expecting to be part of an exponentially expanding family when I first arrived in Equestria” I said “hell, I didn’t even think I’d even find a lover to call my own” Luna chuckled.
“I remember the night you changed and accepted that you might end up with a pony” she said “I believe it was a wench that convinced you” she looked at me with a smirk
“Thestral lass, nice mare” I said “we keep in touch, and for your information we didn’t just buck, she had a long talk with me about how I would have to come to terms with my situation, what happened after was just luck. And for the record, I don’t agree with the concept of prostitutes or wenches or anything like that”
“We should probably prepare to make haste back to Equestria soon” Luna said.
“Yes, but I want to make sure of a few things” I said “most importantly making sure the royalty family here are safe, and ensuring we build a strong alliance”
“I think you would do well as the ambassador for Earth and Equestria” Luna said.
“Really!?” I asked in surprise.
“I’ll write a recommendation and send it to Earth’s and Terra’s leaders, at the very least you become the ambassador for Terra” she said “but first, we have matters of your wedding and coronation to attend to” I nodded and Luna walked out of the room.
*Epilogue*
January 29th 2020
Today has been one hell of day, a double Coronation and a wedding in the same day! If that doesn’t say special then I don’t know what does. Anyway, I’m now the official ambassador for Earth-Terra relations, I've also got an official title; Prince Nova, sovereign prince of Equestria, Duke of Trottingham and Duke of North Lincolnshire.
My name has been officially changed to Nova, because it rolls off the tongue so much better, and I now handle international affairs and I’m going to have my own court soon, providing I’m not off fighting the new ‘Galactic Conquest Alliance’ every waking moment.
Aiden ended up staying with Ruby and Thel, and he is learning English surprisingly quickly, I guess his name is rather apt; ‘he who learns’. Raz is tutoring him in swordplay, and says he will grow to be quite the skilled fighter.
Anyway, as I said, today has been a special day, but then again, it is my Birthday
Prince Nova (Formerly Vuur Koning)
