Chrysalis and Master Chief stared each other down, a smirk on the changeling Queen's lips. "You honestly believe that you can defeat me without magic or a weapon?" She laughed evilly and charged her horn. Aiming it towards Chief she fire a huge magic blast, enveloping him in the beam of green light. When she stopped firing she looked at the dust cloud in satisfaction. "Foolish biped. Now then, since that little annoyance has been taken care of I can commence draining you all of your magic and love."

"Let me give you some advice," the dust settled and Chief was still standing, a layer of yellow electricity covering his body, "Make sure your opponent is down before you turn you back."

Chrysalis snarled and turned to her opponent. "I guess your endurance makes up for your foolishness, very well, I could use a little bit of target practice." Charging her horn she shot multiple smaller beams which Chief dodged by running to the side. Once he reached a stone pillar he jumped and kicked himself off the wall, rising into the air and falling towards Chrysalis.

As the Queen attempted to dodge Chiefs fist landed on her left cheek and sent her sliding over the smooth marble floor, a small line of green goo following her. "Get up." Chief slowly walked around her as she shakily got to her hoofs and spat a broken fang out of her mouth with a bit of green blood.

"You'll pay for that!" She raised her head and let out a high pitched screech. Everyone present shielded their ears, the frequency was strong enough to damage Chiefs energy shield. Soon a large number of changelings broke in through the windows and the walls of the room, surrounding Chuef.

'This isn't looking good Marcus, you better have a plan that isn't you winging it this time.' Chief looked around the room as Eris began to rant on about his recklessness.

"What's the matter Chrysalis, scared to face me alone?" Chief mocked as he shook his head.

'Smart move, put her pride on the line.'

Chrysalis snarled at the Spartan, all of her changelings looking to her for orders. "Fine, I'll fight you myself."

As Chrysalis stepped through the swarm of drones Chief noticed the ponies trying to free Celestia and Princess Cadence. "Alright, your move."

Chrysalis buzzed her wings and shot towards him in a green cone of energy, carrying him across the room and slamming him against the wall, breaking his shield. Breaking free of the Queens grasp he grabbed her horn and began to repeatedly punch her in the chest, knocking the wind out of her before tossing her into the crowd that caught her.

Quickly recovering the Queen shot multiple beams at the spartan, hitting him in the chest and leg. Once she finished bringing down his recharged shield she shot forward and nailed him in the stomach, causing him to stagger.

Chief recovers and threw a punch which Chrysalis dodged but he then brought his other fist down on the queen, slamming her into the ground. Picking her up he spun her around before sending her flying into a wall.

"Go my children! Feed, destroy, kill!" Hissed Chrysalis, having had enough of the battle. As the army of drones charged Chief he pulled out a small metal orb and threw it in the air, it then emitted a blinding light that temporarily stunned the drones. He ran through the crowd and nailed the blinded Chrysalis in the neck, causing her to cough and spit out blood.

Chief readied his fist but it was covered in a golden aura. Looking over he saw Celestia standing up with a smile on her face while shaking her head. Looking over to Cadence and Shining Armour he saw the two floating in the air, their bodies then bent to make the shape of a heart and a huge pink wave of energy passed over Canterlot, sending the changelings flying off in all directions.

'Talk about anticlimactic, deus ex machina much?'

"You know, I was thinking the same thing." Chief shook his head and walked over to the smiling Celestia, giving a salute.

"Enough of that Marcus, you're off duty for now." Chief dropped his hand. "It's good to see you again after all this time."

"Likewise Celestia." Chief looked to the right and saw the rest of the ponies walking up to them. "Looks like we'll need to answer a few questions."

Celestia nodded and turned to the group. "Before anything else, I would like to thank you all for your bravery and heroism during today's events." The ponies smiled and looked to each other. "Now, I'm sure you're wondering about the armoured creature beside me." She was met with nods. "Well, I guess I should tell you a little about him then since he isn't one for long conversations." She looked to Chief with a smirk but he just looked away. "Alright be like that then. Now, does anypony have any questions?" Everyone raised their hooves. "Twilight, what is your question?"

"What species is he? I mean his body is shaped like a Minotaurs but with the way his proportions are he can't possibly be one."

Celestia smiled. "My friend here is what is known as a human, a species evolved from great apes millions of years ago on a planet called earth."

Twilight just smiled widely. "You mean he's not from this world?"

"That's right. As you can see the techs he has with him and his suit of armour are far too advanced to have come from anywhere on Gaia. Next question." Rainbow Dash raised her hoof. "Go right ahead."

"What are those things on his back that he was using to kill those changelings?" Chief had found a question he was more than willing to answer. He took his assault rifle and held it in his arms.

"They are called guns, they fire small projectiles called bullets. Depending on what kind of gun you use, one can either make a hole in someone or blow them sky high." Rainbows eyes lit up as she looked at the gun. "Sorry, professional use only."

Celestia cleared her throat. "Anypony else?" Applejack raised her hoof.

"If ya don't mind me askin partner, but why did ya come to this world if there is one with yer own kind?" Chief lowered his head slightly and sighed.

"I'm here because I died once." The group all looked at him confused. "When I was in the plane between the afterlife and the land of the living a man named Symbol came to me and offered me another chance at life. I had done some bad things in my past life so I would have ended up in hell if I chose to not accept his offer. He brought me back to life and placed me here, in this body and armour."

The group looked to each other with saddened expressions. Celestia sighed and comforted her ponies, telling them to go get ready for the real wedding while she and the Royal gaurd repaired the damages. The mane six left the room, leaving Chief with Celestia, Cadence and Shining.

"Excuse me, Chief was it?" Cadence asked receiving a nod. "I'd just like to thank you for stalling Chrysalis while I freed my fiancé and helping us save Canterlot."

"Just doing my job ma'am." Chief turned to Celestia. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going back to stasis." As he was walking the door was closed by Celestias magic.

"Marcus, you've spent too long in that pod, you need to be out and about for awhile."

"And what exactly am I supposed to do in that time Celestia?" He asked, turning to her.

"Talk to somepony, make some friends, have a life." Pleaded the solar Princess.

"I'm a soldier Celestia, I don't have the kind of personality for making friends." Chief forced the door open and began walking back to his pod.

'You should have listened to her Marcus.'

"I did, I'm just going to have a rest and recover from that fight first."

Equestria: During the Griffin War

The being inside the capsule slowly woke up. It opened its eyes underneath its helmet and looked around the lit throne room. His eyes then fell on the two ponies in front of him. He blinked a few times to make sure he wasn't seeing things before looking at his hands, surprised to see them covered in green armour. "Wha..."

"Greetings Marcus." Marcus froze as he looked to Celestia.

"Did... Did that pony just talk?" He shook his head in disbelief. "Get it together Marcus, you're just having a bad dream." It was at that point that he noticed the difference in his voice, a voice only one man could ever hope to have, the voice of John 117 Master Chief.

"Marcus, are you alright?" Celestia asked again.

Marcus looked at her in shock. "Ok, this h to be a dream." He clenched his fist and punched himself in the arm. He didn't know his own strength and broke his energy shield. Feeling the pain of the punch he held his arm and grunted. "Ok, definitely not dreaming!" After recovering from his self elicited injury he stepped out of the pod and looked down at the two younger sisters. "Where did that guy send me?" He asked no one.

"Thou are in Equestria." He turned to Luna who was looking at him with caution. "What, pray tell, are you?"

"Ok, I must be going crazy, there is no way a pony can talk."

"I can assure you that ponies certainly can talk and comprehend speech of various languages Marcus." Replied Celestia.

"Who are you, how do you know my name?" Celestia gave a respectful bow.

"I am Princess Celestia, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"And we are Princess Luna,my he pleasure is all ours." Luna added with her own bow.

"Why are you saying 'we' instead of 'I'? It's coming across a little weird, even for a talking pony with a horn and wings."

Luna looked dumbfounded at his question. "In Equestria, its traditional to use the Royal We when addressing our subjects."

Marcus rubbed his helmet with his hands and groaned. "This can't be happening, this can't be happening."

"Marcus, are you alright?" Celestia asked with concern.

"I don't know anymore. I started today off normally, then I somehow end up dead, now I'm in a fucking supper suit in a room with two talking Pegacorns!" He slumped back against the pod and sighed. "If I'm gonna do this I'll need a drink. You guys got any booze around here?"

The two sisters looked to each other and vpback to the Spartan. "F-Follow us, we'll get you some alcohol to try and calm your nerves." Luna said as the two led him down the hallways.

Meanwhile Symbol sat up on one of the beams on the ceiling smiling. "I can already tell this will be interesting."
