As they finished, Tiedmann came onto Isaac's screen.

"I don't know what Providence protects you, Clarke, but it ends here. I have two hundred armed security personnel... every entrance is covered! Even if you do get-"

"We'll, let me stop you right there." Isaac said. "You have an army, we have a hulk, a god, a pony that can easily wipe out an army of anything, and me, the survivor. So Tiedmann, you'd better be ready, because we’re going to be bringing out the big guns for this. Goodbye, Tiedmann." He ended the connection.

He turned back to the crusaders, all of them looking at him expectantly.

"What are you waiting for, an invitation?" He said going to the elevator.

They all went into the elevator, a cold energizing feeling in the air as it went down.

When the doors opened, they all walked out, weapons pointed to the front and side. When they were about to pass the first corner, an Exploder walked by them, Isaac snuck up on it and blew its head off.

“Come on, the doors should still be unlocked." Isaac whispered as they ran to the doors.

Luck was on their side, as the doors had remained unlocked. They entered and immediately it locked behind them, the sound of scratching coming through faintly.

"That was close, too close." Isaac said as they looked around.

"My guess is that we go that way." Sweetiebelle said pointing at the ramps.

"Come on, Tiedmann's probably got a trap set up. So be on your guard." Isaac said as they went down.

When they reached the bottom, the lights ahead were turned off. In a second, multiple lights had been turned on, and a man’s voice was heard over a mega-phone.

"Isaac Clarke!" He yelled. "Stand down and drop your weapon!" He yelled out.

"Scootalo, Sweetiebelle, why don't you to go have some fun? Me and Applelboom will call you when we need you."

"Here, take this." Sweetiebelle, teleported herself out of her suit and handed it to Isaac. "Be careful, and remember, scream if you need me."

"Will do." He nodded.

"Drop your weapons!" The guard called out again.

"Fuck the police!" Isaac yelled out as him and Applebloom ran into the bathroom.

The guards fired off shots at the side but only hit the wall. When they realized they couldn't hit them, they turned back to Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle.

Scootaloo, had already turned, her horn glowing in black energy. Sweetiebelle, had turned but was smaller, yet she still had all the parts that she had collected.

"Stand down!" The guard said, nervousness in his voice.

"Get them?" Scootaloo turned to Sweetiebelle.

She gave a roar, shaking the walls and knocking a few guards off they're feet.

Scootaloo charged, a shield of electricity in front of her as bullets went flying. Sweetiebelle, just ran forward and swiped at them. Tearing most of them to shreds until only six were left.

"Scootaloo, get Sweetiebelle. We need you up here." Isaac said over the comm.

"Sweetiebelle, time to go!" Scootaloo called out.

The unicorn turned and nodded before sliding into slices. Sweeetiebelle blew a rasberry before running into the bathroom.

"Where do we go?" Scootaloo asked.

"Through the vent. Now hurry, more guards are coming out."

Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle quickly went into the vent. When they made it to the other vent, opened it and crawled out, they saw Isaac and Applebloom.

"Hey, we have a slight problem." Isaac said.

"Besides the guards outside?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yeah, he's up here."

Isaac and Applebloom went up the stairs to leave the two other crusaders to imagine what could be worse. They went up and the first thing they heard was a man's voice.

"I know who you are! You’re not getting in! They'll find you and kill you all!" He yelled frantically.

"Listen, were just trying to destroy the Marker. So, we can also destroy the Necromorph's here. Doesn't that sound good?" Isaac said calmly.

"Screw you and the little ponies!"

"What if we make a deal?" Sweetiebelle asked, winking at the others. "You let us in, and we give you something in return?"

"W-What did you have in mind?"

"That's up to you. Do you want something expensive and mysterious in appearance? Or something boring and ordinary?"

"I... I have heard of rumors about a small gold statue here in the station. If you get that, then I'll-"

"We've already got it."

"...What?"

"It wouldn't happen to be a small statue of a woman? With the words, Peng Treasure on the base of it?"

"Yes! That's exactly it!"

"Alright, here. I'll slide it under the door. After that, you let us in. Deal?"

"Deal!"

"Pinkie promise you won't betray us."

"What? What's a Pinkie promise?"

"Just do what I do."

"I can't see you..."

"Cross my heart,"

"Um, so it’s a motion thing? Ok, I can do that. Cross my heart,"

"Hope to fly," She said.

"Hope to fly," He parroted.

"Stick a cupcake in my eye."

"Stick a cupcake in my eye. Alright, I'll open the door a little so you can slide it under."

The door rose slightly, Sweetiebelle slide the statue under, and almost immediately, it was grabbed and the door closed.

"Suckers! Did you really think I'd just let you in?"

"Hey! You Pinkie promised!" Her eyes turned crimson. "And nopony breaks a Pinkie promise..." She growled.

Two blades came out of her hooves. She started to slash at the door, making large gashes as it was torn to shreds. She finished with the bottom and went in.

The man was a shivering wreck, his hair was messy, he was sweaty and he was clinging to the Peng.

Sweetiebelle retracted her blades before swiping the statue away from him.

"It's not nice to steal." She said.

Isaac pulled off the cover for the power core. He then pulled out the core itself and all the lights went out.

"Shit! We've lost power!" One of the guards downstairs said. "Somebody get that auxiliary power turned on."

The sound of approaching Necromorph's was heard.

"What the hell was that!?"

"Fuck! That was the bulkhead door! The power outage must have knocked out the kinetic restraints. We think they may have gained access to our compound."

The crusaders jumped up onto the table by the window. Applebloom getting to ride on Isaac's shoulders.

"Oh, god, do you hear them? They're coming in! They're coming in!"

"Open fire! Open fire!"

"Alright! Let's do this! Leeroy jenkins!"

The crusaders and two humans watched as an army of Necromorph's came into view from the darkness. The guards fired but one of them ran straight into the horde, shooting anything in his way.

"Leeeeeeeerrrrrrrroooooooyyyyyy! Jeeeeennnnkkkkiiiinnnnsssss!" He yelled out as he started running on top of the necrmoroph's and disappeared into the darkness.

The other guards had already been killed, but the four engineers were left dumbstruck at what they just saw.

Tiedmann came onto the screen again.

"Y-You compromised the compound, you.... you idiot! If any of them reach the Marker..." he looked towards the left of him. "Fall back! Fall back to the Marker chamber! We have to seal it off!" The screen turned off.

Isaac and the others hadn't even noticed, they were still staring at the hordes of Necromorph's coming in. Some of them were missing limbs from fresh cuts.

"Did... did he just run out there, screaming his name?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"That's Leeroy for you. If anything, he should make it as long as he keeps running and keeps shouting his name." The man said.

"Right, we're just going to leave now." Isaac said, setting down Applebloom. "Come on you three."

They quietly went down the stairs. Still thinking about that crazy man.

"Were supposed to fight that?" Scootaloo asked looking out the window.

There was a blackened Slasher with Swarm on it, a Puker walking around while another crawled and more of the Swarm crawling around on the floor.

"We can take them out if we attack at the same time." Isaac said taking out his Line gun.

"This is going to be gross..." Sweetiebelle said looking at the blood. "All that blood won't come off easily."

"Hey, you have no say in what’s gross. We've had to ride in your stomach. Twice!" Scootaloo said. "When you ride in something’s stomach, then we can talk."

"Are yall ready? Because ah'm ready to go home." Applebloom said taking out her Pulse rifle. "What do yall say to not give’n those things even a chance to blink?"

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Isaac said opening the door. "Give them hell!"

The crusaders and Isaac fired at anything that wasn't them. Limbs went flying, exploded or were cut off as the bodies hit the floor. Blood polled even more, flesh stuck to the walls and ceiling.

In seconds the fight was over before it even began.

"Let's go. We don't have much time before more show up." Isaac said.

They went through the destroyed metal detector, opened the door and stopped.

The control room was a total mess. Bodies we're lying every, glass was broken and blood was splattered on the walls and floor.

"Ah think ah'm gonna be sick." Applebloom made a gulp. "Never mind, it went back down."

"That's almost as gross as this room. Almost." Scootaloo said. "Jeez, these guys got seriously messed up."

"Yeah, I almost feel bad for them." Isaac said getting stares from the crusaders. "I said almost."

"Come on, I think there's an unlocked door over here." Sweetiebelle said going to the left.

Before Isaac got passed the rails, Nicole appeared, leaning on them with a placid look on her face.

"Isaac, where are you going?" She asked.

He thought about it for a second before replying.

"I don't know." He said.

Three hooves met three muzzles.

Ponyville.

The crowd, as if practiced, made the world’s largest face-hoof.

"You really know your way with words, don't you Isaac." Alex shook his head. "Ow... note to self, never use full strength when face-hoofing." He rubbed the red mark between his eyes.

Titan station. Earth Gov compound.

"Why do I feel highly insulted for some reason...?" Isaac asked to himself.

"That's why I'm here Isaac... to show you the way..." She said before disappearing.

"That's... actually helpful. Thanks." Applebloom said. "So, which way now?"

"There's only one way. Unless you feel like going back to fight the Necromorph's." Sweetiebelle said sarcastically.

Applebloom put a hoof to her chin, eyes staring off into space.

"No." Isaac said. "There is nothing to think about, you’re coming with us."

Applebloom's ears twitched slightly before she shrugged.

Isaac and the others proceeded through the door in front.

The room was small, two bodies lying on the floor in front of a facial recognition scanner.

"What is that?" Applelboom asked walking up to the blue field. "Hey, the door's unlocked." When she went to open it, the field scanned her and locked the door. "Not this again..." She groaned.

"Well, it’s obviously not this guy.” Isaac kicked the chewed corpse. "So..." He picked up the nearly intact one and let it scan it. "It's him."

The door unlocked, Isaac dropped the corpse and opened the door for them.

"I could have just torn it off, y'know." Scootaloo said trotting past.

"Don't start with me. I'm still not happy about you all bailing ship." Isaac said.

They went down the small curve and came upon two tubes, a Marker frame inside each, twirling in a strange yellow liquid.

"Are these Markers?" Scootaloo asked peering in. "They don't seem that sturdy."

"No, those are just frames for the real things." Isaac said. "Come on, we need to go left. And Applebloom, I wouldn't do that. It's radioactive."

Applebloom got down from aiming her Plasma cutter at the tube and smiled innocently.

"Doing what? Ah was just admiring the yellow." She lied through her teeth, literally and figuratively.

Isaac saw her eyes switch back and forth, her lips sucked in her mouth and the shakiness along with it. "You’re a horrible liar, you know that?"

"Yeah, ah get it from my sister too. She is the Element of honesty. Ah guess she might have rubbed off."

"Well good, lying's bad." Isaac said.

"Didn't you lie to us though?" Sweetiebelle said.

"No, I said I'll meet you there-"

"Which you didn't." Scootaloo said "We were on the gunship, you tried to get rid of us and managed to make us feel betrayed and probably the love of your life, hate you now. So, yes, you did lie to us."

"Damn you ponies. Damn you and your logic..." He sighed.

They went to the left, and opened the door.

The entire room was bathed in blue light; chairs were knocked over, bloodstained the floor, plants were in every case, bodies lay on the floor, and the Necromorph's walking around.

"Let's get this over with..." They all rolled their eyes as the blackened Slasher charged.

Author's Notes:

I will be working on A Change In Harmony after this. Or playing Halo 4... whichever comes first.
