Time: 0900. Day: April 3rd. Year: 2587. Spartan name: Darkportal. Actual name: N/A.
Today was not only the twentieth anniversary of AI unit Cortana's passing, but the day a promising new spartan gets his armor. We had to make a new type of armor to fit his, requirements. For him we created a complete stealth variant type armor, super bracers in the feet and legs suppress all walking sound as well as give him extreme fall protection. His gloves have extra grip on them so he can grab onto anything and hang there without fear of his hands slipping. His mask was especially hard, for we had to make it completely aerodynamic to suit his movement style. We also gave him a new type of D.M.R. to test. This form of marksmen rifle is completely silenced and will sacrifice no power to do so. We are sending him out into a firefight with the remaining few covenant to see how well he will preform.
-Halsey.

"Listen up soldier! You are going into a heated battle, you are new so you will stay by your team! Am I clear?" A sergeant yelled at me.
"Yes sir!" I yelled back in confirmation. We were in a warrior class Pelican, flying towards the final covenant stronghold, where a heated firefight was taking place.
"Arm you weapons! And you may want to put that there helmet on son." He said to me. There were marines as well as O.D.S.T.s in the Pelican but he seemed to only care about me, always telling me to do something. I reached down and grabbed my helmet, there was only a small visor but that was all I needed, all of my armor was pitch-black and had a slanted look to it. It was all very aerodynamic because I like to do parkour, jumping around to get to where I needed to go, as well as use my skills as a previous free-runner to just kick ass. After this I knew where I was going though, and I was not going to like it, after this I was going to the Ragnarok outpost. The site of where a certain Red vs. Blue exercise was happening, I was heading out to the battlefield of the biggest idiots around. There is only one that I know of that can actually do some damage and that guy is a freaking dipshit! I mean he talks to the tank, like come on! But they didn't seem to be asking me if I wanted to go or not, they were forcing me. I cocked my custom D.M.R.
"Hey son, I think you're gonna need something with a little more kick." The sergeant said to me, holding out a shotgun.
"I don't do brute force."I said bluntly while pushing the weapon away. "I pick off my enemies in a strategic manner."
"Well try telling that to the covies when they are blasting your face off." He replied. I took the shotgun from his hand.
"Don't expect me to use it." I said to him.
"I never did." He said with a laugh. Suddenly the ship started shaking and large bangs could be heard outside. "Looks like we're here!" The Pelican then shuddered as it hit the ground. (Landing of course.) The backdoor opened up and we all rushed out. Turning to my right I fired my weapon at a jackal that was firing on a marine out in the field, it dropped as the bullet went straight through it's head, splattering the area behind it with small brain pieces and blood. I fired three more times, each time a bullet finding a covenant soldier's head. I commended myself for my marksmanship. I ran ahead and jumped, grabbing onto one of the slanted roofs, climbing onto it I leaped over to a higher up roof. I settled in up there, I had a great vantage point. I pulled the rifle's scope up to my visor and I zoomed in on a hunter's neck as it was charging towards as group of marines, I pulled the trigger until the beast fell. I fired on the enemies like this until I ran out of ammo.
"Well than, looks like I will be using a shotgun." I muttered to myself as I pulled the weapon off of my back. I jumped down from the roof I was on and I punched a grunt in the head, it's skull caved in as my fist struck it with the force of a ten pound cinder block being thrown at it. I loaded the shotgun and ran through the battlefield, shooting anything in my path. I ended up standing at the front of a group of marines who were trying to take down four hunters, one by one they fell, until the last hunter hit the dirt.
TIME UNTIL DEATH: T-5min.

I was grabbing ammo from the temporary base the marines had set up, there were a few other spartans other than me, but they were all off in the heat of the battle. I heard footsteps and looked over to see a marine walking towards me with a strange object in his hand. "Hey, hows the battle going for you?" I asked him, hoping to get some idle chat from him to calm his nerves, he seemed very on-edge. He didn't reply, he just kept walking towards me, so I turned back to the ammo cabinet. There was a strange sound and I looked over to see the marine now holding an energy sword. "Holy shit!" I said as he lunged at me. I was caught off guard so I had no weapons out, so I had to try hand-to-hand combat. He lunged again but I dodged to the side and brought my elbow down on his arm, I then kicked him in the chest causing him to cry out in pain and spit up blood. He laid on the ground for a couple of seconds before jumping up and throwing the sword at me, I had no time to block it or dodge out of the way, the sword struck me in the chest and I went down. Before I could recover the marine grabbed the sword from my torso and brought it down on my visor.
TIME UNTIL DEATH: T+3sec.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
I opened my eyes to find I was lying on the ground, next to a, pony? "What the fuck?" he looked very similar to the marine that just killed me, I tried to get up only to realize that I had no feet, just hooves. "What the fuck?" I said again, more force in my voice this time. Looking at myself I saw that I was a pony. "How the hell?" I noticed the pony next to me stirring.
"I thought I killed you!" He said, pointing his hoof at me, his eyes narrowed on his hoof. "What the fu-" he was cut off by me running over and punching him in the throat. Before he could do anything I grabbed a grenade from his belt, and unpinned it, I then pulled back the marine's bullet-proof vest and tossed the grenade down.
"Enjoy asshole!" I yelled to him as I ran very awkwardly away from him. A short second after the grenade exploded blowing the pony up. I sat down and looked at my hooves. "How can I run with these? Holy shit how can I frigging climb with these?" I was really pissed-off, climbing was my favorite thing to do.
"What are you wearing? And what was that explosion?" A feminine voice said from my right. I looked over to see six colorful ponies, one unicorn, two pegasi and two normal ponies, and one with both wings and a horn.
"What the fuck? Where the fuck am I?" I was really confused and I had a small urge to just kill these things before the gave me a headache.
"Now darling there is no need for bad language!" The white unicorn said.
"Are you some kind of changeling?" A pink mare asked me.
"What the hell is a changeling?" I asked her.
"That's exactly what a changeling would say!" She pointed an accusing hoof at me. Then the lavender pony with both wings and a horn turned around to her and began to give her a lecture. About half a minute in I turned off my helmet speakers and turned on some dubstep, the song was awesome and soon I was bobbing my head and doing air drums to the beat of the song. I was so into the music I didn't notice the lavender one asking me questions until she tapped on my helmet.
"EXCUSE ME!" she yelled as she tapped on the side of my helmet. I jumped up in surprise. I quickly turned off the music and turned on my speakers.
"Oh sorry, listening to music. What was that?" I asked her.
"I am taking you to see the princess." She said to me. I shakily stood up and started stumbling around the place.
"Hey wait a minute, being here means I don't have to go to Ragnarok!" I thought to myself and my brain started doing jumps for joy.
We all walked through this castle that they brought me to, apparently to see some princess or something? I only got the names of the ponies until I tuned out and started listening to dubstep again. The purple on was an alicorn, her name was Twilight, then there was the rainbow maned pegasus Her name was Rainbow Dash, big surprise there. Fluttershy was the yellowish pegasus that was shy, no shit eh? Pinkie introduced herself next, I think she is on drugs or something, but she is a pink mare with neither a or or wings. Applejack was next, she was an orange mare that was like Pinkie, no horn and no wings. Finally Rarity introduced herself, she was a white unicorn that thought she was the next big thing in fashion. I was about to ask them why they all had tattoos on their asses but Twilight started to tell me about the place where I was, Equestria, to tell the truth I couldn't give two shits, just that I didn't have to meet the bumbling idiots over at Ragnarok. We stopped at a huge pair of doors, the alicorn seemed to be saying something important now so I turned of my music and turned on my helmet speakers. "-the throne room, in here is the princess, treat her with respect and dignity." She said.
"Yup sure, now we going or what?" I asked, pushing the door open. Inside there was a large throne, and sitting on it was a pure white alicorn with a tattoo of the sun on her ass.
"Princess Celestia, I brought the strange pony." Twilight said to Celestia.
"Strange? Come on i'm weird at times but really?" I said to Twilight.
"Sorry." She apologized to me.
"What is it that you are wearing?" Celestia asked me.
"A super suit." I said back to her, to tell the truth I never really inquired what it was made of, I just put it on.
"A super suit?" She said, not believing me.
"Yeah, it enhances my physical abilities, give me extreme protection, energy shields and makes me look badass." I said to her, if she had eyebrows she would have raised them.
"How does it do this, is it magic?" She asked.
"Nope, no magic, just science." I replied.
"Can you take it off?"
"Yeah, one second." I reached up and grasped my helmet, pressed a few buttons then took it off, there was a audible hiss as the pressurized air inside escaped, next I took off my leg bracers, revealing a black jumpsuit underneath. I had the suit off in about five minutes, pretty good considering I was a pony. "Ta-da!" I said to Celestia, who was looking at me strangely. "What?"
"Where did you get this?" She asked.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you that I am not from here, I come from a different universe I think. That universe was and still is quite war-torn, so I got that suit along with many others so we can end the wars." I said to her.
"You seem to be acting quite normally for somepony who just traveled dimensions." Celestia said to me.
"They were going to send me to a training camp with a bunch of bumbling idiots that would team-kill me by accident in seconds." I replied bluntly, Celestia opened her mouth to reply when a large noise came from outside, followed by voices.
"Son of a bitch! Grif! This is why you don't sleep on the teleporter controls! Ahhh! Why are you a horse?" A voice yelled.
"Why are you a horse?" The one I guessed Grif was yelled.
"Look! It's the blues! Get them!" A gruff voice yelled.
"Sarge we're horses! How do we run, let alone get them?" Grif asked Sarge.
"Grif! Where is my shotgun!" Sarge growled.
"Son of a bitch." I muttered.
"Do you know these ponies?" Celestia asked me.
"No, but they're the idiots I spoke of." I said to her, putting my suit on, this was much faster for I knew how to get my legs into the holes from when I took the suit off. I walked towards a balcony that faced the direction of where the voices were coming from.
"What are you doing?" Celestia asked me.
"Dealing with a problem before it starts." I replied to her, then I jumped off the balcony, ready to deal with the reds and the blues at once. "Hey!"I yelled at the two groups of armored ponies, some had wings but most either had hidden horns or were just earth ponies as Twilight called them.
"Who is that guy?"Grif asked Simmons.
"No clue, do you think he is a freelancer?" Simmons replied.
"No, i'm not a freelancer, but I am a skilled operative." I said to them.
"Hey wait a minute, are you that new recruit of ours?" Tucker asked me, he seemed to have trouble getting up.
"Not recruit, new sergeant." I said to him walking over to the reds.
"Just like a blue! Getting us while we're down." He grunted, trying to get up from the ground.
"If I were here to kill you you would be dead already." I said to them flatly.
"So what are you here for?" Simmons asked me.
"Well teaching you guys how to walk would be first on my list. I think killing you is around the bottom of the list." I said to them, helping them up one by one. Now just walk forward like you would crawl on all fours like a human. They did that and were walking soon after.
"So you here to help us?" Tucker asked me.
"I just did, now fuck off."
"Whoa, no need to get angry!"
"I died about three hours ago, why shouldn't I be?"
"You died? Are you like Church?"
"No, I died when I was a human."
"And then you got sent here?"
"What do you think dumbass? How did you get here?"
"One of the reds took a nap on their teleporter controls and made it go all wonky, teleporting us here."
"Which one?" Tucker pointed at Grif. "Thanks." I walked over to Grif who was only beginning to stand up, I kicked him in the groin so hard I swear I crushed his balls.
"OW! WHAT THE FUCK!" Grif yelled as he writhed on the ground in pain.
"You stupid fuck! I was going to enjoy it here because I didn't have to fucking deal with you dipshits! Then you fucked the teleporter up and teleported you guys here! Now I still have to deal with you!" I yelled at him.
"Fuck you too." He said, still holding his family jewels.
"Come on, we have a monarch to talk to!" I said, walking towards the castle entrance.
"Ohh! I like butterfrys!" Caboose yelled. I sighed, this was going to be a long day, I wonder if they have nooses around here?
