*POV 1st Person Vuur Koning*

I awoke feeling…odd, empty, but at the same time, not. I sat up with a groan and opened my eyes to find myself in one of the rooms of the medical ward.

“Oh, you’re up” I heard Autumn said, although her voice lacked its emotion, I looked over to see her sitting in a chair with her arms crossed, looking at me with a mixture of fear and disappointment.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I was going to ask the same thing about you” Autumn said.

“Uh…wha…” I was cut off.

“What the bloody hell were you thinking!?” Autumn shouted “you went and Nova blasted two Covenant ships into oblivion”

“Wait…WHAT!?” I asked in surprise, Autumn’s expression softened and she sighed

“Baldric got killed” she said “and you retaliated by teleporting aboard one of the ships, you released a Nova blast which destroyed both Covenant ships and as a result the remaining Covenant are now working for us” at that moment it all came rushing back.

“Oh dear god” I muttered, putting my head in my hands “what have I done?”

“Thrust us into a full blown war with the Covenant” I heard Celestia say, I looked over to see her walking in.

“If you’re here to guilt trip me, you’re too late” I said.

“Well” Autumn said, chuckling bitterly “you always talked about using a Nova blast as a tactic, now you can say you have”

“Honey” I said “not now, please, I feel bad enough knowing that Baldric is dead, I don’t even want to know how many I killed”

“I’m not here to guilt trip you” Celestia said “in fact, you did us a favour”

“How, exactly?” I asked.

“Jul ‘Mdama is now scared to make a move” she said.

“Great, because the Universe wasn’t fucked up enough as it was” I said “we now have that genocidal maniac to deal with”

“He’s scared to make a move right now” Autumn said “We practically have walking, reusable nukes to use as a scare tactic”

“Make up you bloody mind” I said “are you pissed off or impressed?”

“A little bit of both” she said “I’m pissed off because you could have killed yourself, those Covenant had it coming”

“Where are we?” I asked.

“We’ve stopped at another Earth to carry out repairs” Autumn said.

“Another Earth!?” I asked “Exactly how long have I been out?”

“A day” Autumn said, shrugging “oh, and you don’t have any elemental powers for a couple of days”

“How do you…?”

“The Toa Mahri and Lesovikk are with us” Celestia said “and the Jörmungandr isn’t the only Terra ship out there now, we’re currently converting all of our airships for space-worthiness. Also we’ve formed an alliance with the UNSC, who have begun making more battle suits like the one your daughter has, apparently it was quite successful”

“Ruby has quite the knack for battle suit combat” Autumn said, I chuckled as I got out of bed.

“That’s my girl” I said. I soon got my armour back and I went outside, it was getting towards night time and my team of Toa were sat around a campfire with the Toa Mahri whilst some guards patrolled a perimeter. I could see a pair of orange eyes watching us, but I didn’t say anything.

“I’ve gotta hand it to you” Hewki said, looking around at the blossom trees “you planet really does have a certain charm to it”

“I think this is Asia” I said “and with the number of different Earths we’ve been to, I doubt this is ours” At that moment I heard one of the guards cry out, before falling silent.

“What was…?” Jaller went to say, but I cut him off.

“Shh” I said, I stood up and focussed on one guard as he walked towards the point where the other one disappeared, after he got to a certain point I heard what sounded like a cricket chirping as the guard seemed to levitate and was bashed against the tree several times before being dropped unceremoniously on the ground in a heap. I switched to the mask of accuracy before changing to thermal vision I could see six heat signatures, all unique, I whispered to the others “Six individuals, all different sizes” Minion stepped forward.

“Alright!” he called “we can see you, all six of you, come out quietly and I won’t have to use my little friend to make you come out” he gestured to his plasma cannon as he said this. Six animals; a tiger, a monkey, a snake, a mantis, a crane and a panda stepped out and both me and Minion burst out laughing.

“You have got to be fucking kidding me” I said between laughs “of all the planets we had to land on, it had to be this one”

“What do you mean?” Scar asked “I don’t see what’s so funny”

“We’re in the land of bloody Kung-Fu fighting animals” Minion said.

“You find us amusing?” Tigress asked.

“Yes” I said, she growled “easy tiger” Tigress growled before charging, I rolled by eyes before getting out my sword and bringing it in front of me, causing Tigress to stop just before the blade touched her throat.

“I may find you lot amusing” I said, my expression and tone now serious “but that does not mean I can’t kill you if you so push me, I’ve just lost a very dear friend of mine, I’m sorry if I’ve offended you, but considering all the shit we’ve been through and seen, you look fucking hilarious” I then drew my sword away quickly, cutting off a few hairs on Tigress’s neck but otherwise leave her unscathed. Po, the Dragon warrior, who was also a panda, gasped.

“Is that the blade of Tai Tzu?” he asked.

“No” I said.

“The sword of Bow Ding?”

“Nope” I said, “it’s a Protosteel Power sword, totally indestructible, it also channels my elemental energy, although a currently can’t use those powers”

“Why not?” Viper asked, I chuckled bitterly.

“Remember I said I’d lost a dear friend?” I asked, sitting back down at the camp fire and stabbing my sword into the ground “I unleashed all of my fire powers in one blast and eradicated those responsible for his death from existence, I’ve paid the price for it, I can’t use my powers for a few days. So tell me, Furious Five and Dragon Warrior, can you handle sharing a campfire with an alien mass murderer whilst I tell you why we are here?” I gestured to an empty log positioned by the fire as I said this.

*POV 3rd Person*

Teridax stepped through a portal to find himself in an alternate Equestria.

“Who are you!?” Celestia demanded, Teridax quickly scanned her mind and found one little piece of information that made him grin.

“I am merely a humble traveller” he said, walking over and bowing “someone who is using this current situation with the planets in the sky to his advantage, my name is Teridax, and I have a proposal for you” Celestia raised an eyebrow.

“I’m listening” She said.

“I’ve met other versions of you, none of them are like you” he said, beginning to pace “you’re willing to get your hooves dirty, metaphorically speaking. So answer me this, Princess, what can you tell me about the Pegasus Device?” at that point Celestia smirked and lightning flashed outside. Next Chapter: Chapter 13 Estimated time remaining: 5 Hours
