For me, the world started out black. Eventually, shapes came into sight. I knew I was in a dream, first teleportation coupled with slight combat exhaustion and my wounds, even if I was a Spartan, and all.

Anyway, what I saw was, actually, a map I had made on Impact in Halo four's forge. Basically, it was a ship made using map exclusive pieces and two kill balls, the latter acting like the light from the thrusters. It was in between both of the asteroids there, and It was a map I was proud of.

Currently, I was standing in the bridge of the place, which took a bit of inspiration from the Pillar of Autumn, as it was a little below the rest of the body and had a good frontal view with two station consoles. "Sure, why not? I asked myself. Might as well train in zero gee, as, when I designed the map, I had two hanger bays with Banshees made, with teleporters for them to get out. So, I made my way there and turned into the left one. Both had four of the covenant fighter craft. I got in one, as if through instinct, and activated it's thrusters and anti-grav generator, and had it go through the teleporter, which sent me and the banshee about twenty fee outside the ship. I made my way to the top of the hanger the banshee had come out of, and set down, getting out as I did so.

I stretched and, thanks to my brain thinking of actual physics, when I jumped up a little, I went up, and kept going. Fortunately, my armor did have Halo five thruster packs on. Ooh, time for some fun. I smiled, and imagined, simply for the hell of it, an army of Promethean Knights, Ranger Sangheili, and, because why the fuck not, this is a dream, a Kraken. Stopping here, a Kraken is a covenant assault vehicle that's larger then a scarab. In mission one of Guardians actually. Think a walking fortress. Oh, and I imagined a Guardian too. Because fuck logic!

"Time for some fun," I say, activating an energy sword in my left hand, and drawing a fracture plasma pistol in my right. "COME AT ME, ASSHOLES!!"

With that, the Knights and Rangers charged en masse, with the Kraken firing off Plasma volleys, the Guardian grabbing rocks I had made just for it and threw them at me. I grinned under my helmet, and used the thrusters to avoid the rocks as I made my way to meet with the two forces.

Just before I met them head on, I thrusted up a little, putting me above them, and all I did was bring my sword down, which resulted in cutting quite a lot of them in half (thank you, dream logic for giving me bottemless clip.) and made my way to where the Guardian was.

It kept trying to fling rocks at me, but I avoided them. Just before I impacted on the thing, I used counter thrusters as I went from horizontal to vertical, and went full power up. Funnily enough, the rocks it had thrown at me were pulled back, and hit the Guardian. Oh, the irony in that.

I landed on the thing's head and said, in a voice similar to the RCV, thank you suit speakers, "I CLAIM THIS GUARDIAN IN THE NAME OF THE ROGUE ARMY!! KILL THEM ALL!" I planted my sword in the Guardian's head, and it began to kill literally everything but me.

Ten seconds later, nothing but me, the ship, and the Guardian were left. "Ah, so much fun," I said.

"Only a monster would find killing fun," I heard behind me. I turned and saw Princess Luna in armor that was reminiscent of knight armor.

Think that in anthro. "This is a dream," I said. "They aren't real."

"Still, it is good I am here," Luna said. "If you find killing fun in the dream world, it is only a matter of time until you do so in the real world."

"Says who," I asked. "The only pony who truly knows dreams would be you, and ponies are capable of lying. Who's to say it isn't a way to remove potential threats to you and your sister, or just, no pun intended, by the way, nay-sayers, or just a grudge?"

"You would think I would do something so petty?!" Luna nearly yelled. "I have worked hard to get ponies to accept me, and would do nothing to lose that."

"Then why not try to make peace with Nightmare when she returned," I asked. "Doing so could have saved numerous lives, maybe even shortened this war. Maybe because you thought you still had something to prove to yourself? You thought Nightmare was, is, a monster, and couldn't stand the thought of her actually helping? Seems pretty damned petty to me."

Luna snarled. Now, before anything happens, I should let you know I'm doing this for a reason, that reason being that I am trying to make her made enough to get information. That, and I love being a smart ass. "I will make sure you will suffer," she said as her horn lit up, and restraints the same color as her magic appeared on my wrists and ankles. She used her own skill in dream control to summon, I shit you not, the most terrifying thing ever that could make even Chuck Norris piss his pants in fear! A feather! Yeah, pretty pathetic, I know. Seriously, did a three year old come up with the ideas for torture devices or something?

"Yeah, um, what the hell is a feather supposed to do?" I asked.

"Silence," Luna said as she began using the feather to tickle me. I looked out in space, literally, with a Are you fucking kidding with me? look. After a few minutes, she growled in frustration. "Why isn't this working? My dream magic should make this painful."

"No idea," I said as I brought my left wrist to my face as if I was looking at a watch. Yeah, while she was busy, I found out I can manipulate even stuff she made consciously, if that can be applied here. "But can you hurry up, I got to get back to kicking imaginary ass."

H-how are you able to break the bonds?" Luna asked, backing away.

"My dream," I said. "My rules. Here are a few: One," I said, snapping my fingers, which changed the scenery to a halo reach map I had made that involved a tower made up of dish parts, building blocks, sniper towers, landing pads, and curved walls, "none imprison me. Two." Another snap, and now we were in the cauldron. "I am unstoppable. Three." Another snap.

"Epic music. And four." Another snap, which returned us to where we had started, me standing on the Guardian, only I now had an army of Promethean Knights at my back. "I am fucking god, and none are as powerful as I."

"We shall see," Luna said, and, not really to my surprise, the mane six faded in. "You can not face the most powerful ponies in this world you-"

"Get them," I said, and the Knights charged at the six. Wait, six? Luna, Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack- oh fuck.

"Hiya, Josh," I heard beside me, and I saw Pinkie as I turned.

"Hello, Pinkie. I'm surprised you aren't trying to kill me?"

"Why? We are in a dream, after all. It wouldn't have any effects on you. Besides," she said, shrugging. "The author, an alternate you, by the way, would just have you beat us." As if to punctuate, I heard an incineration cannon explosion, and some cussing, though I couldn't tell from who.

"Fair enough," I said, dreaming up two chairs and a popcorn machine. "Popcorn?"I asked, sitting down.

"Thanks," Pinkie said as she took a seat, and we watched the show. "Oh, and when you wake up, you'll have something from the three from earlier."

"Right," I said.

"PINKIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Twilight yelled from below.

"Dream, Twilight," the pink mare yelled. "We can't get killed, remember?"

"Plus, I could have sent in a lot worse," I yell. Seriously, they should thank Harmony I didn't bring in the Flood. Anyway, I snapped my fingers, and, with out the Forerunner machines, we all were in Ponyville. I got up from my seat with Pinkie doing the same before appearing with her friends. I imagined up my loadout, and said, "So, Princess," I say to Luna, "still want to try to bring me in?" Please say yes.

"Indeed I do." Oh, time to go Kaze no Stigma on their asses.

"Then come and get me," I said, crossing my arms, no weapon in my hands, a grin on my helmeted face.

Rainbow was first, and just as she came close, I blasted her back with a blast of wind, not even moving. "Next."

"Why you," Applejack said before she charged me with a hammer. Just as she reached me and brought her hammer down, I used the wind, not my thrusters, to hover slightly and sidestep before sending the farmer flying "Woaaaahhhhhh!" she yelled as she was sent flying.

"Seriously, I thought you were supposed to be a challenge. You all are worse at planning than a stupid fish." Hello Rageshy, who charged at me, trying to slice at me with, I shit you all not, butterfly knives, which I promptly blew out of her hands before knocking her on her face with a blast of wind. "Like I said." Honestly, this is, technically, a shared dream. They have slight control over it to. Someone get me the idiot in charge of pony evolution, I think he put too much stupid in it. Or she, if it's Celestia, I'm very equality minded. Not, Starlight Glimmer, levels (what happened to her in this timeline, anyway?), but equality minded nonetheless.

Needless to say, aside from Pinkie, the rest of the Elements attacked, and I quickly stopped them with out having to move my arms.

Luna was the last. This is gonna be good. Hit it!

"How is it you defeated all of the Elements, except Pinkie, without raising a hand," Luna asked, pointing her sword at me, to which I replied:

"Dream. I control the world, or did it slip your mind." Wow, I am acting like Felix from RvB. Mwa hahahaha, fun!

"It matters not," Luna said. "I will defeat you." She then charged. Her first attack, a downward slice, I blocked with the air. I pushed her attack back, and went on the offensive, striking with precision on her armor, using a fake one to draw her sword, the second being the actual attack, which weakened it. The few times she was able to get in an attack, hello shields! In other words, I'm the only one who actually hit anything.

"Try looking at more then just me," I said. "Unless you find me attractive, that is." This got Luna to pause to process hat I said, which allowed me to finish the fight with a strong gust, which, on her weakened armor, blew away just about all of it. "You know, I don't see why so many ponies are enamored with Celestia," I said. "You have a much bigger ass and chest."

Luna, with just pieces of chain mail covering her sex and assets, covered herself and blushed in embarrassment.

She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could, I snapped my fingers. "I just did three things," I said. "One is making sure you, and only you, can enter my dreams. Second is that, when you are in here, you'll dressed in what I want you in." To prove the point, I snapped, and Luna now stood there in, well, this:

"And third, I trapped a small part of your mind here that stays in contact with the main you, which I can use to bring the full you here whenever I want." It was here the world began to black out. "Huh, I'm waking up. "Buh-bye," I said to the seven mare before blacking out entirely.
