Chapter 17: Chapter 14: Mother of Invention

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I awoke to the sound of banging and someone yelling to me, saying to 'get up' and I reluctantly got up. I stretched my arms out as I got out of bed and walked to my closet. I grabbed a pair of fresh socks and panties and I then teleported to the bathroom. The bathroom in the vault isn't like your average american one, it's more of a Japanese styled one. The reason why is so I can remember my heritage from Earth, and no I'm not Asian just part Asian. I preferred my Japanese heritage over my American one because I found it to be more appealing to me. After washing myself I dried my feet off and put my socks on before wrapping the towel around my body and teleporting to my room where I started to get ready for today's mission.

When I was finished I was was wearing a clean pair of black jeans, my old pair of boots, medical tap on my breasts and my iconic duster. I decided to look at myself in the mirror and see how I looked because I saw no harm in it. I looked at myself for a few seconds before doing a twirl and smirking at the image in the mirror. 'Damn, even after two hundred years I haven't lost it.' I thought with a giggle. I then heard more banging on my bedroom door and hear Evan telling me to get my fat ass out there. For the first time I felt insulted and it wasn't going to go unpunished, 'I'll find a way to get back at him for that comment.' I thought with a devious smile before teleporting to the main room where I saw Faust sleeping in front of the monitors. I walked over to where she was and pulled my phone out and took a picture of her drooling on the desk before putting my phone away and balling my fist up and banging it on the desk. The result was instant as her head shoot up and she looked back and forth.

"Huh... wah... watzit?" she said in complete gibberish.

"Baby girl, how many times have I told you not to fall asleep when at the computer?" I asked.

"About a million times." she said as she rubbed her eyes.

"A little more than that but I digress." I mumbled. "Now how many time have I told you not to drool near electronics?" I scolded her as I waged my finger at her,

"The same amount of times." she said with a groan.

"Well maybe this'll teach you not to do that." I said as I showed her the picture I took with my phone. Her face went from not caring to fearful.

"What are you going to do with that?" She asked.

"I might use it for later, but for now we need to get ready." I said as I put my phone away again and turned around. I saw Evan walking into the room as I crossed my arms. "Took you long enough."

"Hey I was ready before you!" he yelled.

"But I was here first." I said.

"Whatever." he grumbled.

"Okay does everyone know the plan?" I asked.

"What plan are you talking about?" I heard Lucky ask and I turned around and saw her and Blaze walking into the room.

"The plan where you don't come along." I said in a stern tone.

"What?!" Lucky yelled.

"Why?!" Blaze yelled right after Lucky spoke.

"You can't go because the Covenant aren't something to play with and they will not hesitate to kill you." I said.

"Yea? So what! What do you think the Enclave and raiders do to the ponies they get to?! They rape them and break their minds! To me getting killed is a hell of a lot better than getting raped!" Lucky shouted.

"Why are you getting so worked up about this?" Evan asked.

"Because I know I've been through enough to take down a bunch of aliens." Lucky said.

"Really? You think you've been through some shit. You have no idea what we've been through! I've outlived everyone I cared about and I have watched my friends age and die right in front of me! I even had to watch my Sister die right in my arms as she protected me from an attack because of my stupidity! Don't fuckin tell me you've been through enough to harden you! I've been through about close to over thirty years of combat experience and add the time we've been in stone, which is a little over a thousand years!" I paused to take a breath before continuing. "I don't want to hear shit from you about this so from now on don't tell me you know what you're doing and that you've had enough experience." I said finally finishing my rant with a huff.

"Why won't you let us go?" Blaze asked.

"Because you're young and inexperienced and I don't want you to get killed. I've gotten too many other people killed because I didn't train them and because of my arrogance." I said with a sad tone at the end as I turned around and teleported to the weapons room. I decided to choose our weapons for the mission to try and clear my head because that conversation had brought up bad memories. So since this was meant to be a covert-op we're gonna need silenced weapons, and the best choice was to have a silenced semi-automatic assault rifle and pistol. I decided to go with a M27, an AN-94, a SCAR-H, a M4A4, a 9mm pistol and all of them have a suppressor, foregrip, custom stock attachments. I snapped my fingers and opened my hammer-space and looked through it. All of my weapons I had bought at the comic-con, and I had no use for them so I removed them and placed them on a secret rack that would retract into the chest and only appear to me, it's actually a large Ender chest. Once it was closed I turned around and started to look at the guns I summoned and I snapped my fingers creating a copy of the guns for Evan; though there were two different M4A4s, one had a red camo and the Asiimov camo, both are from CS GO. The reason why I was going to use actual guns instead of Fallout weapons was because Fallout weapons aren't as stealthy as your average conventional gun. I then spent the next few minutes examining the guns making sure nothing was wrong and setting them up before I heard the door to the room open and a set of foot steps. I turned around and saw Evan walking in giving me a little glare that was mixed with a look of disappointment.

"You didn't have the right to blow up like that back there." he said as he crossed his arms.

"I don't want to hear it! They have no idea what it has been like to be around for over a thousand years and watch the people they love and care about get lost in the sea of time. They don't know..." I said as I started to cry as old memories came flooding back. I felt Evan hug me as I cried in his chest. After a few minutes of crying I pulled back and rub my eyes, trying to get the tears to go away.

"There. Better?" he asked and I just nodded my head. "Elisa you need to let your emotions out or else they'll consume you or cause you to lash out like you did. Can you promise me that you'll do that?"

I nodded my head again. "Yea *sniffle* I can do that." I said as my tears finally stopped and most of them were gone. I had to get myself together because I hate letting other see me cry, and the reason is because it makes me seem weak. So after I got my thoughts together I walked over to the new guns I summoned and threw the ones for Evan to him one by one. "Make sure to keep those silencers on there until we finish." I said as I placed my guns in my hammer space.

"I wasn't born yesterday ya know. I know what I'm doing." he said as I walked over to the stands to get my swords. I also heard the popping sound of his hammer space meaning he put his guns away. I strapped them to my side and was immediately assaulted with a loud yell in my mind.

"Ffffiinnnally!!!"

"Nice to see you too shi." I thought.

"It's been too long, and I feel as if my blade has dulled over the years." Senbonzakura said.

"Well Im glad your doing good" I thought before turning my attention back to Evan.

"Well if you know what you're doing, then let's get going." I said as I teleported to the entrance to the vault. The reason is because I didn't want to see Lucky after my outburst and I was really embarrassed by it. I also felt really bad about it and I was ashamed to even show my face to her, and the strangest thing is I don't know why and I keep getting these weird feelings towards her. My thoughts were interrupted as I heard foot steps coming up from behind me and judging by the sound it was Evan.

"Why did you teleport out here?" he asked.

"Because I don't want to be seen by Lucky." I clarified.

"Well you do realize that you'll have to confront her sooner or later, right?"

"Yea I do.sigh Let's go." I said trying to stop this topic from going further. I'm not going to bore you with the details about me and Evan walking all the way to the ship, because nothing really happened along the way. But when we did reach, or at least got close, to the ship it was close to dusk so we had to hurry before we were stormed by deathclaws. Now your wondering what did these Equestrian deathclaws evolve from well I'll tell ya, Manticores. I really didn't want to go against one seeing how we were trying to be stealthy, and we couldn't do that by firing guns even if they were silenced. We stood there looking at the hulking giant as it sat there embedded in the ground and we didn't say anything, that was until I got tired of the quietness.

"You ready?" I asked.

"Yea let's do this." So with that I blinked us into the cargo bay of the ship where I saw several damaged pelicans and warthogs a few broadswords and one falcon, along with a bunch of covenant uggoys.

"Wahe Lets go guys!" one said as the rest followed. All that was in the cargo bay now were elites. They were placed here and there, and we couldn't take any of them without alerting the rest. I was about to pull my gun out when I felt a pain in my chest causing me to clutch it. I fell onto my side in the pain and after a few seconds it stopped, and I let out some shaky breaths.

"Elisa are you alright?" Evan asked.

"Yea, I'm fine." I lied. I can't believe he's gone. I just how old boney will send him to where he needs to go. "I know a way to kill all of these elites without alerting any of the others in the ship."

"How?" Evan asked in a whisper.

"Well we make a distraction, causing a few to investigate and then me take them out."

"It might work, but what do we use for the distraction?" he asked. So I sat there for a few seconds thinking of what to use, because I mean there was a lot to use in the cargo bay. It didn't matter about what it was, but where the object was at. I could use the broke pelican or a warthog but they were too far away to use. My thinking was stopped when a bright flash appeared in the bay, and when the light went down there was what looked like a tear in space. I was about to question it when an object fall through and hit the ground before the portal closed in a flash.

"What is it?" asked one of the elites, who was grey.

"It's a box you blarg." said the only yellow elite. "One of you go and open it."

"Yes sir." I watched as one of the grey elites walked over to the box. He poked it, kicked it and then shrugged before picking it up. He walked back over to the yellow elite and gave it to him, which the yellow one promptly snatched it. He then shifted it around and shook it before opening it. All the other grey elites walked over and looked at their commander as he looked through the box. I took this opportunity to aim my M4 at the yellow elites head before opening fire. The elite's head blew open from the road I fired and gore and brain matter was showed into the air behind him. The other elites grabbed their carbines off their backs and were about to exchange fire with me but I just started shooting them and Evan joined in. A few seconds of silent gun fire and they were all dead.

"Well that was-" Evan said but I punched him in the shoulder before he could finish causing him to look at me. "What?"

"Ever heard of Murphy's law? Don't say shit like that." I said.

"Okay." he said with a shrug before jumping down to the floor.

"Don't 'okay' me." I said as I jumped down too.

"Fine, I won't. Now what do you think this is?" he asked as we reached the box, and somehow none of our bullets hit the box.

"Oh I don't know... It looks like a box." I said as I read the side, and it seemed to be addressed to me since it said 'To someone named Elisa'. I looked inside and saw a letter along with a crystal, two photos and an amulet. I unfurled the letter and read it aloud.

Dear Ethan Elisa/Wade/Wanderer/Crazy Son of a Bitch or Daughter of a Bitch as the case may be.

This is to let you know I got your care package and I'm glad you’re doing alright. As for what's happening with the royal family and the cryo-pods I hope you figure out a way to open them and I'm sad to hear the state your Equestria is in at the moment. But, the thing about me and Rage being called your reapers made me kick up a storm of laughter. Even Rage was in hysterics when I told him and I'm glad you’re keeping up your swordsman training I dare say it's time for you to train someone if you’re interested. Also I noticed you changed your wings a bit you’re not copying my design are you?

Also you should have seen Faust's and Celestia's faces when they saw the photos Faust was so embarrassed and Celestia looked ready to pass out at the sight of her beloved phoenix. As for me things have become pretty hectic since you left after you left it's hard to know where to begin. But, I'll start with me being called to Zebrafrica I found out a couple of zebra slavers were stealing mares and stallions from their homes and anyone who followed was a corpse on a random doorstep the next morning. But, when Rage, me and the Immortals stepped in we found out that the captured were being treated like animals but we took the ones who were guilty alive for the Queen's punishment and gotta say they know their punishments. Also it turns out that in Zebrafrica my kind were hailed as gods to them and they had a few pieces of knowledge about us and as it happens that day was my birthday and turns out I'm 10,000,000,000,000 years old who knew?

Two weeks later I decided to go searching for answers on how my parents crowns ended up in Equestria and as it turns out not only was it my parent's crowns but also my entire kingdom was brought to Equestria and I've added a photo for you to look at. Also remember your theory you told me about angels not having halos well it turns out your half right only high ranking angles have both halos and wings and simple angels only have wings. Sorry getting off topic here but anyway I met my parents and I am glad to say Lilith and Lucifer both lied about what they said. (Yeah I know you were in the trees watching me don't deny it.) But the fact that they were both dead was true turns out angel and demon bodies don't decay but during my visit there we discovered we were followed by Templars and that we weren't alone in the kingdom.

There were constructs wearing Demonic Angel guard armor that were made of Greek Fire these guys were created to guard my kingdom's most treasured secrets and believe me you do not want to tick these guys off. Anyway I found out where Branding Iron is supposedly located and have been combing the area for a while now and I'm keeping Nightstreak updated on my progress and she's happily living with her aunt and uncle by the way. But back to my adventure after I got the info I held a funeral for my parents and at the same time my parents wanted me to have my coronation so that my kingdom always had a king now I am Ash Blade King of the Demonic Angels. After that my friends wanted to have a look at my family's vault turns out there were a ton of relics in there from across time. Example Spear of Destiny, Holy Grail, Fountain of Youth, Excalibur, Book of Solomon, Seeds of both Harmony and Disharmony and Pandora's Box. (Daring almost opened the last one if not for me and my speed.)

How these artifacts got in there is a mystery even to me but I discovered a book that held every prophecy written down I think I even saw yours and Evo's and I also saw mine. It was called the Battle of the Brothers of Fate it said that I had till the day I met my brother and the day of an Eclipse one of us must kill the other but once the Eclipse ends the brother raised by darkness will destroy everything. Guess that's why the Outsider says I could die before the prophecy is complete. And to top the day off Heartless arrives and reveals himself to be my clone twin created by Lilith to try and rule everything didn't go well when my parents intervened. Anyway Heartless left after we duelled and we all returned home and I was kidnapped for a short time and my assailants just wanted my blood but I'll get more of that later.

Later on I had a vision that summoned me to an old fortress which was crawling with undead even had to deal with an undead dragon king who granted me his bones to use as armor as his way of saying thanks. I also had to deal with the ghosts of some good people I had to kill for a good reason before I was confronted by a lich of all things and I gotta tell you he was no picnic. I managed to beat it in the end and once that was over I was invited to a forgotten event in the Crystal Empire but both Midnight Star and Flurry Heart broke the crystal heart bringing the frozen north down on us. That's not all you know how I told you how I lived for a long time and gone through several wars and conflicts yeah your gonna love this every person or pony I killed had raised from the dead to exact vengeance on me.

And to top of the day Tirek came back and I met the most powerful Necromancer in existence called Grogar I have placed a recording thanks to Pinkie of our battle and I combined it with my helmet recording on when I fought the army. I placed the recording in this care package for you to view. (Also please understand I didn't want to do it.) And if you look which I sure you will is you'll see I managed to unlock my Heavenly Booster and I've decided to call it Paladin Alicorn for obvious reasons. Now for my most recent adventure I got your care package two weeks ago and I will say you picked a hell of a time to drop it on me and also Pip's biological parents show up and ask for the right to take care of Pip again.

Yeah crazy I know but Luna and I had no choice but to do it. After that I handed Midnight over to Celestia to look after till Luna and I pulled through but we were distraught for two weeks I could do nothing but drink down bottle after bottle of cider and Luna sat in Pip's room clinging to his favorite teddy he left behind for dear life. But when my friends came to help Rage beat the shit out of me and got me back on my feet and told me that thieves that stole my blood were in Trottingham. (gotta add lovely place steampunk city) Luna then asked me to return Pip's teddy and so I did. After I dropped off the gift I found out the thieves had used my blood to become Demonic Angles similar to Midnight and they had about the same strength as I have but thankfully they didn't unlock too much power.

After I apprehended the thieves I went to go visit Pip again only the farther convinced me that Pip didn't want to have me in his life anymore but it was Rage who convinced me that something wasn't right. So when I looked through a window I saw Pip was unhappy and had suffered some injuries from his biological parents like a large burn from a fire poker on his left arm. I then confronted the parents and arrested them and are now awaiting trial in Canterlot. (But they didn't go without a little punishment from me) Now I am writing this to you but I have to end it here because Pinkie is holding a welcome back party for Pip but in this box please find.

1 lich amulet source of its power hope you find a better use for it then over here, 1 photo of my home kingdom, 1 recording of an epic battle, 1 photo of Rage, Luna, Pip, Midnight and myself. Anyway hope the Outsider's words are true about us meeting again one day hope to see you again soon.

Your friend

Ash.

P.S. Ruby and Mitta are fitting in well and Mitta got her cutie mark in kickboxing suits her name don't you think? She also got some long awaited revenge on the Blood Hooves when they appeared in the Crystal Empire.

P.P.S You remember the Flutterponies that lived in my kingdom? I have great news they're not as extinct as one would believe I found a large nest of Flutterpony eggs in that dead forest we were in before we met the dwarves. Now the eggs are being taken care of a good friend of both myself and Faust his name is called Slender.

I shuffled my wings around a bit when I read about me 'copying' Ash when in reality I have no idea why my wings are changing color. "Well he seems to have been busy." Evan said with a small laugh. I then picked up the pictures and looked at them. One was of a beautiful city that looked hard to describe in words and the other was of Ash, Luna, Pip, Rage and I'm guessing Midnight all huddled in a picture. It looked to be taken with a phone in the Ponyville Park. Rage was hunched over on the left with Pip under him, both giving a peace sign; Luna was sitting in the middle holding Midnight in her arms and he seemed to be sucking on his right hoof cutely while Ash had a arm wrapped around Luna while holding the phone in his other hand. I was glad that he was doing great, but I knew the truth. Ash didn't know this but I placed a spell on him to keep track of his life signature, and it seemed to work well.

"He sure does." I said with a sad smile before I gave a serious look at the amulet. I remember seeing this thing in a book about a thousand and ten years ago. It said that Celestia threw it into the void with a powerful spell in hopes that it wouldn't cause hope to anyone else, but I guess it fell through a tear or something like that. I then picked it up and brought it to my face and looked at it closely.

"I don't really think that's a good idea Elisa." Evan said causing me to turn my head to him.

"Why? Nothing bad's gonna happen." I said just as the amulet started to glow. "Shit." I said before throwing the amulet across the bay. When it landed it started to shake and in an instant it shot back to me. I tried to catch it but it somehow weaved around my hand and went straight into my eye. I felt a searing pain in my skull when it touched my left eye, and I started to scream 'Get it out!' over and over while I clutched my eye socket. I screamed so loud that I guess it caught the attention of the covenant, if the foot falls and the yelling was anything to tell. I couldn't hear anything over the whispers going through my head. I heard people screaming in agony and dark voices yelling to me that they would grant me power, and this was all before I passed out from the pain.

When I woke up I was on the floor, and thankfully my hair was covering my eyes. I could still hear the voices in my head were now only whispers, but they were starting to annoy me. I looked around and saw that I was in a room filled with computers and electronics, so I'm guessing this was the bridge. I was laying on a platform and in front of my was Evan, and he was being held in the air, by something I don't know of, while being beaten. I tried to get up, but as soon as I did something pushed me back to the floor. When I turned my head to the side I saw a maroon colored elite standing there with one of it's feet on my back, right below my wings, and a plasma pistol pointed to my face.

"Don't even think about moving, bitch. You'll be doin enough moving for us shortly." he said through his mandibles. In that instant the dark whispers in the back of my head turned to screeches, and I felt myself lose it. I slowly looked up to the point that my hair wasn't covering my eyes and I saw the elite go ridged.

"You know what happened to the last person to call me that?" I asked with a sadistic look. "He didn't live to see the next sunrise." I then used my magic and snapped the restraints on my wrists before standing up. I looked down at the elite and started to flex my fingers, causing his limbs to bend at odd angles. He screamed extremely loud and a new part of my loved it, but it was also getting annoying. So I balled my fist up and the elite then started to cough up blood before dying. I may have grinned too much, and for some reason, I don't know why but I enjoy that kill more that I should have. I was felt a searing pain and heat crawl onto my back and when I looked over to where Evan was there was a gold elite with a plasma pistol aimed at me.

"Stop at once or else he dies." it said, and when I looked over to to Evan I noticed two grey elites standing there with energy swords pointed at Evans neck and I started to laugh. It was low at first but it soon turned into a mad laugh. I then slowly looked back at the gold elite and saw him shaking.

"Do you really think you'll be able to kill him?" I asked, and his answer was to my question was him pointing his gun at Evans head. But he stopped when I raised my hand. "Hmm, it seems I can control people like a puppet." I thought to myself. "Now before I kill you, I want answers."

"Do you like I'd tell anything to scum like you?!"

"SCUM!? Scum?! Your Scum! Your kind has been killing the human race for just existing because some non-existent god said so. Try looking back at your history before you call someone 'scum'. Now tell me what I want to know."

"No."

"Fine." I said and the two grey elites with the energy swords fell to the ground while blood oozed from the mouth. "I hope you know they've been dead for a while. Now tell me." All I got from him was silence. "So you won't tell me, eh? Well I have ways of rectifying that." I said as I summoned a knife, which I proceeded to stab the elite in the chest with. When I hilted the knife into his chest I slowly turned it, electing screams from him.

"Now tell me what I want to know." I said more forcefully.

"N-no." he said.

"Okay be that way." I said as I slowly slide the knife all the way out and stabbing him again somewhere else. This process was repeated multiple time until finally after receiving sixteen stab wounds he finally decided to speak.

"P-please s-stop. I'll.... i'll talk." he said in ragged breaths.

"See. Was it that hard to just tell what I wanted to know. Now why are you on a UNSC Charon-class light frigate?" I asked.

"B-because we were on her to capture it but we were sucked into a worm-hole." he said.

"Okay, now where are all the humans that were on this ship?"

"W-we killed them." I then used my new powers and broke his legs because I didn't like his answer.

"Meaningless. How many Spartans were on this frigate?"

"T-thirteen." he said as he sobbed.

"What color was their armor."

"W-why?"

"Just answer the damn question!" I yelled.

"T-two whites, black, cyan, violet, tan, blue, red, maroon, orange, pink, aqua, and cobalt." he said while his body shook. 'Good damn. They killed the RvB characters and freelancers.' I thought in sorrow, though my curiosity was pecked. Those freelancers were NOT easy opponents, so that begs the question.... how large was their army before we got here.

"I have a few more questions to ask you before I'll let you leave here alive. How large was you armed forces before you got onto this ship?"

"About a hundred thousand."

"And how many after you took command of said ship?"

"A little over a hundred. Most that survived died from injuries." he said.

"Okay, final question. Where are their dead bodies and armor?"

"I-in the armory." he said.

"Okay," I said in a too cheerful tone. "Your free to go." I then snapped my fingers and he disappeared and a few seconds I heard a 'thunk' above me and I'm guessing he was now nothing more than a blood splotch on top of the bridge. I looked over to Evan and saw him grabbing the two energy swords the grey elites had, and I gave him a look that said 'really?'.

"Hey they're dead, they don't need 'em." he said. "And Elisa, you may want to stop doing whatever you're doing."

"What? What am I doing?" I asked as I was completely confused, I wasn't doing anything but listening to those voices.

"Well whatever went into your eye earlier is a dark shade of red." he said. I summoned a small mirror and looked into my eyes and sure enough my left eye was a dark shade of blood red and the center of it was white. I then closed my eyes and stopped listening to the voices and when I opened my eyes my left eye wasn't blood red but a cool amber and the iris was black instead of white.

"Okay back to normal." i said and de-spawned the mirror.

"Good, now what do we do with this ship? We can't bring it with us." Evan said as he looked out the front window.

"Well first we have to get rid of all the covenant on the ship," I then snapped my fingers and and sent all of them somewhere else.

"Where did you send them?" Evan asked as he looked back at me with a worried look.

"Into a volcano." I said as I walked to Evans side.

"So since they're all gone how do we stop anyone else from getting on?"

"Simple my dear Watson. If I place a magical field around the entire ship then no one will want to get on it." I said with a British accent causing Evan to groan.

"God don't ever do that. You have a terrible British accent." he said. "Now if your so sure about no one getting on this ship with it surrounded by magic then we need to get back to the vault. I think the sooner you talk to Lucky the better your guys relationship will be."

"Yea I guess you're right. But I think since it's starting to get to nightfall we need to sleep. I'm exhausted and I don't think it would be a good idea to us more of my magic after placing the field around the entire ship." I said as I turned around and shrugged before going over to the table that was behind us and looked at it.

"Thats a good idea." Evan said causing me to look up at him."But first let me connect the electronic systems from the vault to the ship." he said as he hopped down, and up until now I didn't know there was a lower level. 'Well ya learn something new everyday.' I thought. I then looked back down at the table and it seemed to be able to project whatever was being showed in 3D. I pulled up a small model of the ship and when it was enlarged it show several spots blinking red. The fusion engines, left fusion reactor, troop bay, loading elevator, the entire front end, the nuclear missile launcher, and the left side freight hanger seem to be damaged. But we can worry about later, because all we really need to do is get the fusion reactor and engine back online so we can move this thing.

"Hey," Evan said, causing me to look up. He wasn't standing there so I guess he was still down below, so I minimized the ship on the table and walked over to the railing of the top floor.

"Yea?" I asked as I reached the railing, and leaned over and looked down.

"I got the systems in sync. So what now?" he asked as he shut the panel he was looking in.

"Well we go to sleep. Duh." I paused. "But first we need to go over the details of the ship." I said as I walked back over to the table.

"Okay whats wrong?" he asked as he jumped back up and walked over next to me.

"Well first of all, the right fusion reactor looks to be close to a meltdown. The left one just needs new fusion rods and it'll be good." I said as I brought up the ship again and twirled it around to where we were looking at the back.

"Alright." he said as he nodded, and I then twirled it so we were looking at the port side of the ship.

"Next we fix the left freight hanger. That will give us more storage space." I said before spinning it on it's side. "Then we fix the troop bay and loading elevator." I then spun it to where it the front was facing us. "Then we fix the front of it and the nuclear missile launcher." I finished.

"It's going to take a long time to finish it all, isn't it?" he asked.

"Yea.... yea it is. But once we get this thing operational again it will be extremely useful." I said as I minimized the ship once more.

"So is there anything you know about this ship? You were always the one who know more about HALO."

"Well I don't mean to toot my own horn but the UNSC Mother of Invention (FFG-636) was a Remembrance-class frigate in service with the United Nations Space Command Navy during the Human-Covenant War. Mother of Invention was commissioned in April 2519, and was stationed in the Sol system for much of her early operational service, accounting for her long service. Mother of Invention primarily operated long range patrols around Sol, policing the system against criminal and insurrectionist activity,"I paused to take a breath. "and finally saw combat against the Covenant in late 2552. In that year, she fought at the Battle of Earth, where she survived the destruction of the UNSC Home Fleet, and became one of the UNSC's few operational vessels left in the system. From 2553, Mother of Invention served in the Remnant War, participating in Operation: REAR GUARD, the UNSC's defense of Earth, in May 2553, and Operation: LOOSE END in November. By the end of the Human-Covenant War, Mother of Invention had seen hard use without any significant refit or repair and was worn out, especially her propulsion systems. She was placed in reserve in February 2554, and scrapped in 2562." I narrated.

"You read all that off the internet, didn't you?" he said with a look that said he wasn't amused.

"No." I simply said as I put my phone away. "Anyways this could be from the actual halo-verse or from the rvb series, but judging by those descriptions of the Spartans armor this was from a Red Vs Blue displaced version of Equestria." I said.

"Whatever, let's just go to bed. They have to have sleeping quarters on here."

"Of course they do. Humans can't stay awake for more than sixteen hours with needing to rest their minds." I said.

"Don't really care. Just want to sleep." Evan said with a tired look, and it took us a little while but we found the sleeping quarters. It was apparently on Deck C and not Deck A.

"Im still worried about the vault." I said as we reached the Deck C from the elevator.

"Don't worry." he said wafting his hand back and forth with his eyes closed. "If anything happens the alarms will go off an we can head over there and rescue them." We then started to walk down the hallway. C Deck seemed to be in okay condition, if you count several of the doors malfunctioning to be okay.

"Yea, well my daughter is there and it's a mother's job to worry."

"I've been meaning to ask you about that," he said as he opened his left eye. "Why did you make her?"

"Because I was getting lonely and for some reason I guess I was trying to fill a hole."

"Okay. I just wanted to know, now let's go to bed." he said we reached a door that had a green scanner by it.

"Fine." And with that we went in and got ready to go to sleep, though I still had worried thoughts adrift in my brain.


I jolted awake to the sounds of the alarms going off and I instantly hopped out of bed. I didn't care if I was nude, I had to hurry and see what was the matter. I could hear Evan behind me as I ran all the way back to the elevator and started to jump from ledge to ledge until I reached the level with the observation deck. I reached the table and pulled up the screens up and looked at the ones connected to the vault.

"What's going on?!" Evan asked as he too started to pull of schematics of the vault.

"The fuck if I know! That's what I'm trying to figure out!" I said as I started to panicking. I went through the cameras and saw something that filled me with dread. Heading to the elevator were several Zebras, and looked like they were armed to the tooth and nail.

"Vault door has been breached. Weapons systems are offline. Shit they thought ahead." he said as he continued to look over everything. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I conjured a pair of black jeans and a white tank top and ran for the exit and I could hear the voices starting to screech again.

"Where are you going?" Evan asked as if already knew the answer, which caused me to stop and turn to look back at him.

"I'm going to go rescue those three." I said as I turned back around and hauled ass to the right hangar bay as I summoned Shi to my side.

"Are you ready to kill them?" she asked in a much more mature voice.

'You bet your ass I am.' I thought back to her.


Evan's POV


"Where are you going?" I asked, though it was pointless as I already knew the answer. But when Elisa turned back around her left eye was blood red again and I hoped that what ever that amulet is doing, it doesn't mess her up because right now she's scaring me.

"I'm going to go rescue those three." she said as she turned back around and started hauling ass to the exit, but that was before she summoned one of her swords to her side. The only thought that came to my mind for the Zebra's was 'May God have mercy on them.'.
