P.O.V. Excalibur Prime.

*GAAAASSSSSPPPP, COUGH COUGH COUGH, HEAVEY BREATH HEAVY BREATH, MODERATE BREATH, Light breath!*

“Ahhhhhh, I feel like I got hit be a freight train,” it's the first thing I said while sitting up and grabbing my head.

I shook it and blinked my eyes to regain my site. While I let my eyes focus to my surroundings I noticed that was in a medical room. I guess that’s understandable since I passed out after I dropped off that little unicorn at the hospital.

Upon further examination I could see medical equipment similar to the old equipment that was used on earth a thousand years ago. There was a heart monitor resting to my left. Turned off obviously. There was an I.V. stand and bag to my right... unused. Other then that there were a few chairs. Turning my head away from the equipment, I looked out the window to see the sun high in the sky, but it hadn’t reached its peak yet. So, by my assumption, it was probably late morning.

After guessing the time, I looked at the HUD on the inside of my helmet.

“740 Shields, health 100%... hmm no ammo,” I reached for my back with my left hand and examined my thigh with my right to see that my Soma and Lex were gone, “Great, now I have to find my gear,” I said with frustration.

I got off the bed and rose to my feet and looked at the back of my hands, “Well, at least I still have my Venka,” I let my left arm drop and rolled my right arm over and noticed a small three bladed device, “And my Glaive.”

I let my ram drop and looked away from my weapons and to the upper left hand corner of my helmet to see that my radar wasn't working. Makes a lot of sense since I wasn’t able to map the area. I let out a good sigh; ‘Looks like I’m gonna just wing it.’ I got off the bed and worked my way to the door and grabbed the handle, turning it gently.

I opened it just a hair and looked outside, “Nothing, good,” I opened the door slowly and let myself out. Once I was out, I slowly shut it behind me and began to walk down the hall, trying to be as quiet as possible.

While I worked my way around I could see various rooms and long hallways. Most rooms were either locked, opened to a single room, or lead to yet another hallway. And as much as I wanted to leave, jumping out the window during the day would create a lot of attention. I also couldn't afford to leave my weapons behind. This planet doesn't need them and I have had them for a very, very long time. Oh and also... I wanted my Skana back!

So I decided to follow the main hall I was in. Pausing every once and a while to hide from passing guards and maids. After making a few turns here and there, I eventually came to a large set of double wooden doors. I reached out to grabbed the handle, but just before I touched it the door began to open. Without hesitation I bullet jumped to the top of the other door and wall latched.

Maybe I should explain bullet jumping and wall latching. The power of the suit allows me to jump higher than any normal human ever could. Special mods can help me amplify that power. With wall latching. Using the negative powers of the void, I use the negative ions to attract to the positive ones. Its a lot like how antimatter reacts to positive matter, but instead of exploding, its operates like a magnet. Its a strange concept, but the void is a very strange place. It doesn't follow the basic rules of time and space.

There are no rules.

Looking down below me, I saw three unicorns leaving the room. They were clearly part of the local military with the armor they wore. But the middle one was clad in gold and purple armor. Generally different colors on armor signals rank. But purple... seriously? I'm getting off topic. Just before they closed the door, I grabbed the edge of the door and swung inside. I landed just in front of the large set of double doors. I rose to my feet and turned to take a step, only to see nine pairs of eyes looking right at me.

The first thing that came to mind was, ‘Well this is awkward.’

I began to survey the room to see the same six ponies from earlier circled around Storm. Storm didn't have a care in the world, she just sat there and panted happily. But it was the three new faces that threw me for a loop; they were much larger than the others.

One was a tall white mare with a long flowing main, and light pink eyes, next to her was another dark blue mare with light blue eyes, and next to her was a light pink mare with purple eyes. But there was one thing they all had in common, besides having wings and a horn, were the crowns they wore on top of their heads and they stood on a raised pedestal leading to two chairs. The white and dark mare... that mane! There were no open windows and the castle appeared to lack basic ventilation. So how does that even work. I mean, I'm a smart guy... and I mean really smart. But that makes no sense. now I know I can break certain laws of physics... but that's by using the power of the void... this was just... different.

That’s when it hit me, ‘Shit I’m in the throne room’.

Boy it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, until I broke that with,

“Storm, heel.”

The large animal barked happily. She stood up and took her place by my side. Once again we stood there in awkward silence until the door behind me began to open.

“Cadence, I was wondering if-”

Instinctively I spun around on my heels to see the same three unicorns standing in the open doorway; clearly they were surprised to see me.

“Guards, arrest that thing!” barked the white stallion with a blue mane and purple armor.

Out of habit I reached for my Skana, only to realize, ‘Right I don’t have it’. So I brought my arm down and open my glaive with a definitive SHING! And took my defensive stance.

With knees bent, left hand forward, and my glaive at my side, they knew that I wasn’t going to go down easy. As the three stallions began to advance, I began to retreat with Storm following my lead.

They continued to advance while we retreated; I killed the mics in my helmet so the three guards can’t hear me,

“Storm nonlethal take down, you take the one on the left I got the one on the right.”

“Bark,” was her response to my order.

“Okay, on my command.”

A few more seconds passed until I felt my foot hit something solid. It was now or never, this is where we make our attack.

“Storm... NOW!”

Without hesitation she leapt after the left guard, tackling him to the ground. I did a quick backflip onto the steps and thrusted myself forward into the other guard, leaving the third one behind. I grabbed him like a football player tackling the quarterback; we rolled on the floor a few times until we came to a complete stop. With me on top of him, holding him by the neck with my left hand.

And with one swift hit, I punched him in left temple knocking him out cold. Rising to my feet I saw Storm holding down the other guard with her overwhelming strength. So that just left me and the blue haired stallion. He stood there sword in hand… floating? … whatever, it was at the ready.

We began to circle each other, slowly switching sides. I decided to make the first move. I swung my glaive in a 'X' pattern in front of my self before I did a back flip. I threw my glaive around myself and finished with a forward roll, catching my glaive behind my head.

This wasn’t meant to be an attack, it was a show of force. I learned that threats and intimidation tend to work better than actual attacks. But I was amazed to see that this stallion wasn’t backing down. He was clearly an experienced soldier. He came at me swinging, the fighting was good, and he knew what he was doing.

Ting... Cling... Shing!

The sound of metal hitting metal filled the room as our blades clashed. He’d swing, and I’d roll, I'd swing and he'd jump. But as much as I was enjoying the fight, it needed to end. We eventually backed off each other to take a moment. He was breathing heavily, clearly exhausted. Where as I, hadn’t even broken a sweat. While we watched each other he spoke up,

“You’re good.”

“You too,” after completing my compliment I shot forward with my Slash Dash ability. I grabbed him by the neck and forced him into the wall behind him with a good THUD!

“But I’m better,” I said, whispering into his ear.

Making sure he didn’t try anything stupid I held my glaive next to my head at the ready. Once again, I never planned on hurting him, it was just a threat. But I would kill him if need be.

“Don’t hurt him!”

I looked over my right shoulder to see who said that.

I watched the little purple unicorn open her mouth, “Please...?" she pleaded, "Don’t hurt my brother?”

I slowly looked back at the stallion to see him glaring at me; and man if looks could kill I’d be a dead man. I took a second to mull over what I just heard. I relented and released my grip and let the stallion fall to the floor. After looking at him I turned my attention to the rest of the group and began to approach them. The other two guards were still subdued, so it was just me verses the rulers of this place.

“Not another step!” ordered the large white alicorn.

Her and the darker alicorn were ready for a fight. Their wings were flared and they looked like they were ready to charge me. They were trying to look big and intimidating. But if they are like anything about the animals I used to know, flight is more prominent than fight. They might be sentient, but natural instincts tend to override basic comprehension. I learned to override that years ago. I fear nothing.

I'm off track... I followed her order and stopped in my tracks. There was a tense moment of silence. The three alicorns were waiting for me to make a move… which I did. I lifted my right arm in front of me… ting, ta ting ting, was the sound my glaive made as I hit the floor. With my right foot, I kicked it across the floor and raised my hands in the air.

“I hereby surrender,” I looked over at Storm and said, “Storm, release him,” she climbed off the guard, allowing him get to his feet and run like a little coward, “Storm sit,” she sat on her haunches, “Good girl, now stay.”

Everyone was dumbfounded that I surrendered. I was winning that fight and they knew it. But I didn’t want to create any more issues. I’m a guest to this planet, and I need to act like one. I watched as a yellow bubble formed around me and two of the three alicorns approached.

The pink one ran past to the downed stallion and with a worried tone she asked, “Shiny, honey, are you alright?”

Ignoring them, I dropped my arms and look to the white alicorn while she examined me.

“Why did you surrender?” she asked out of confusion.

“Because I don’t want to make yet another enemy.”

After a moment silence I spoke up, “Anyway, let’s get this interrogation over with.”

“Pardon?” asked the darker one.

I crossed my arms, “Generally, this is the point where you start to ask questions,” I said, answering her question.

“How would you know that?” asked the white one.

“Because I’ve been in dozens of interrogations and I’ve given a few myself.”

“I think we should hang him!” screamed a male voice.

“Shining Armor!” said the pink one with a hint of shock.

I glanced over my shoulder, “I’m just going to ignore that comment.”

“So, what is your name?” asked the white alicorn.

“Excalibur Prime.”

“What are you?”

“I am a Tenno Guardian.”

“I see," she looked at the floor momentarily, "Are there more of you?”

“Yes and no. There is only one of me, but there are 27 different primes, of which I am one of them. And there are a few thousand non-prime Tenno.”

“You said guardian, what do you mean by that?”

“It is my job to protect those who can’t protect themselves…" I sighed and grabbed my helmet with my right hand, "Look, what I did with your troops was to be a sign of intimidation to make them back off. My intentions were never to kill them, only to incapacitate," I let my arms go limp at my sides.

As I watched her, I could tell that she was thinking about what I told her... and possibly about the battle that just took place.

I placed my hands on my hips, “Look your majesty interpret this how you want. I can either be your greatest ally or you’re worst enemy. Either way, I’m going to leave this room. One option ends in peace, the other in blood, the choice is yours.”

“Are you implying that you’ll escape? Because the containment spell you’re in is designed for high class V.I.P.’s,” said the white stallion as he approached the two alicorns in front of me.

“Oh for fuck sake," I said while I rolled my eyes.

SHING SHING CRASH!

“WHAT, THE… IT BROKE THROUGH THE SPELL!” screamed the stallion in surprise.

I used my hidden claws and slashed at the barrier and finished my attack with a swift kick, causing the energy shield to shatter like glass. The Corpus have build better cells then that piece of garbage.

I stood there and crossed my arms again. I made a simple statement, “Your majesty, as you can clearly see I am a force to be reckoned with.”

As the initial shock of what I just did wore off, she took a moment to make her decision. I waited and looked to the rest of the ponies in the room. They just sat there in shock and awe. That little purple unicorn had that spark in her eyes. She was very interested. Turning my head back to the white alicorn I continued to await her answer.

“If I ask you to become our ally what will you do?”

“I will follow any rules and regulations you put in place. And if I violate them, I will hand myself over and face my punishment, whatever it may be.”

“And if I refuse?”

“I’ve take plenty of life over the years, I will not hesitate to defend myself, and the body count... will.... be... high.”

Once again she took a moment to think about her decision.

She sighed, “Luna?” she asked while looking at the darker one.

“We believe he can help protect Equestria sister,” responded the dark alicorn.

She went back to looking at the floor, “Hmmm.”

“Princess may I speak freely?” asked the little purple unicorn.

“Of course Twilight.”

She walked up to the white alicorn and began speaking, “He saved our lives. And when I talked to Luna last night she said there is good in his heart. I truly believe he’s a good pony, we just need to let him show it,” upon finishing her statement she looked up at me.

I just stood there in silence once again waiting for an answer.

“Alright, mister Prime-”

“Excalibur.”

“Pardon?”

“I hate it, when people call me mister Prime,” I said using my right are to accentuate my point.

“Um… Excalibur I’ve made my decision.”

…

“I would like to make you an ally of Equestria.”

“As you wish your majesty,” I said after finally getting my answer.

“Let me introduce you to everypony. First off, my name is Princess Celestia," she held a hoof to her chest, "and this is my sister, Princess Luna,” she pointed toward the dark alicorn, “this is my niece Princess Cadence and her husband Prince Shining Armor,” she said while looking at the pink alicorn and white stallion.

“And I believe you’ve already met my student, Twilight Sparkle,” she said looking at the little unicorn in front of me.

“Yes, I took her to the hospital," I looked down at the little unicorn, "How are you feeling Twilight?”

“Much better, I’m still a little sore though. But anyway, I want to thank you for saving me and my friends.”

“You’re quite welcome.”

Celestia pointed to the various ponies and said, “And these are her friends, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.”

I looked back to the alicorns and gave a light bow and said, “Your majesties,” than I took a moment to turn to the other ponies “Ladies, it’s nice to meet you all.”

“What a gentlecolt,” responded Rarity.

With introductions finished, Twilight didn’t hesitate to start asking questions of her own.

“What are you? Where are you from? What’s you history like? What was that metal thing that flew by? Oh I have so many more questions!”

I looked back Celestia with a raised eyebrow. She couldn’t see my face but she knew what I was thinking.

She chuckled a little, “Twilight, let’s give our guest some time to relax. He’s been through a lot in the past few days,” Celestia looked at me with confusion and little bit of embarrassment and asked, “Uhm… my apologizes but, what sex are you?”

I couldn’t help but laugh a little, but then again anything proving my gender is hidden under my Warframe.

“I’m male; I thought the deep voice would have given that away.”

“My apologies Excalibur. We’ve... never seen a being like you before.”

“Makes sense, I’m not exactly from here.”

“Are you an alien?” asked Pinkie Pie, raising her foreleg like a school child.

Twilight moaned and put a hoof to her forehead before looking at the pink mare, “Pinkie, we went over this, aliens don’t exist,” she held out her hoof to accentuate her point.

“Ha! That’s why my species used to think. But yes Pinkie, I am in fact, an alien,” I said, answering the pink mares question.

“That’s… so… AWESOME!” screamed Rainbow while “grabbing” her cheeks with her hooves.

Twilight turned around and looked at me with a shocked expression, “But that doesn’t make any sense!” said Twilight trying to comprehend the situation.

I couldn't help but chuckle some more, “Twilight, it would appear that you can’t accept what is clearly standing in front you?” I said to the little unicorn. Who had begun to pace back and forth.

“But… I… it just doesn’t make sense.”

“Twilight, we are not alone in this universe. I’ve met multiple types of aliens. All varying in a range of shapes and sizes," that statement brought an important question to the light, "Which reminds me Princess Celestia… what planet am I on?” I asked while looking at the white alicorn.

“Why, you're on earth silly,” responded Pinkie.

I cross my left arm over my chest and grab my head with my right while letting out an annoyed sigh.

“Of course it is,” I said with annoyance.

“Whaaaaaaaaaat?” responded Pinkie, dragging on the question on longer than needed.

I looked at the pink mare, “I’ve mapped dozens of planets, most of which the inhabitants call their planet 'Earth'. I would know, my home world goes by the same name.”

I stepped away from the group like I was answering a cell phone.

“Ordis, you there?”

“Excalibur, is that you? I thought *BZZT* YOU MET A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH*BZZT*”

“Yes Ordis, it’s me, and no I’m not dead. I just regained consciousness a little while ago.”

“Oh thank goodness you are safe and sound. What can I do for you?”

“I want you to take a note, the name of this planet is Earth. Give it whatever number 'Earth' this is, but classify it as..." I paused and looked at everyone, “Planet Equin.”

“Yes Excalibur.”

“Thank you Ordis.”

After finishing my little phone call, I looked back to see everyone wide eye and clearly confused.

“What?” I asked out of confusion while holding my hand out.

“Who are you talking to?” asked Twilight.

“Ordis.”

“Who’s Ordis?” asked Princess Celestia.

“He’s more of a what, than a who,” I said, responding to the princesses question.

Author's Notes:

Okay so the day I wrote this I crashed my car, so clearly I'm dead.
No I'm kidding, but ill admit that I was drinking.
...
Actually I'm kidding about that too, we got 7 FREAKING INCHES OF SNOW! 7! IN LESS THAN A FEW HOURS!
So I wasn't in the best mood when I got home, didn't help I also had to rescue my mother when she got stuck, so I felt like crap when I finished this.
Anyway I don't know if anyone cares but I'm fine, I did kill my mirror and passenger side window and put a nice dent in my car door. That was a fun day.

Its all about the emotes today, I don't know why but it is.

P.S. I should have put this in earlier but this will do for now. So Excalibur is 6 foot 5 inches tall, and because this is My Little Pony, they're going to be... well little. So Twilight and her friends are 3 feet tall to the top of their heads, Shining, Cadence, and Luna are 4 feet tall, and Celestia is 5. That's not including their horns. I just couldn't find a place to fit this info in, so a long ass authors note will have to do.
