Chapter 1: Where am I?

Princess Celestia looked down at the strange metal ball Twilight found, she was interested on this as it teleported out of a portal, meaning the metal ball has some powers. Suddenly the ball emitted a blue light. Princess Celestia backed away.

"Twilight!" She screamed "It is doing something!". Princess Celestia looked at the strange metal to find it floating right in front of her.

" Greetings!" It said "I am 343 Guilty Spark, former monitor of Installation 04!". Princess Celestia noticed it had a cheerful attitude, so she calmed down, she is still afraid whether it is dangerous or not.

Twilight hurried down to find the so called "343 Guilty Spark" floating around the room, examining its surroundings.

"Princess?" She asked, Celestia looked down at her "What do we do?"

"We introduce ourselves." she answered.

"343 Guilty Spark, I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria, and this is my student Twilight Sparkle" she then asked "Why are you here?" 343 Guilty Spark hovered for a few seconds, looking at both of them before answering their question

"I... I don't know how I ended up here." 343 Guilty Spark replied "I only remember defending The Ark."

Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle both shared a confusing look. "What is an Ark?" Asked Twilight "Is it some sort of ship?"

"Why no, of course, I'd be happy to explain!" 343 Guilty Spark answered "The Ark is a megastructure responsible for creating the Halo Array and activating it, located 262,144 from the galactic centre, outside the galaxy."

"It measure 127,530 kilometres in diameter as well!" 343 Guilty Spark answered. Twilight Sparkle was amazed at the size of the machine.

"That's 10 times the size of this planet!" She cried "What is a Halo Array?"

"Weapons of last resort." Twilight and Princess Celestia gasped at the word 'Weapons' but continued listening. "The Halo Array was built along with The Ark by my creators to kill off the entire galaxy, in order to save the galaxy, we activated the Halo Array to starve a deadly race, the Flood"

Just as 343 Guilty Spark finished his story, Princess Celestia said "I am looking forward to finding out more about you, right now I have to go to Canterlot." She looked to Twilight "You will look after 343 Guilty Spark."

"I will do it without a problem princess!" said a proud Twilight Sparkle.

"Good, I will see you two tomorrow, goodbye Twilight!" Celestia said as she head to the door,

"Well 343 Guilty Spark, is it okay if I call you Sparky?" Asked Twilight

"I don't mind" it replied.

"Okay then," she said, "You'll be in my library for a whi-"

"This is a Library?" Interrupted Sparky "In Installation 04 a Library contains all information regarding the Flood and contains the Index Key"

"Our library works, well the same way." Twilight pointed out. "It also stores information in books, fiction and non-fiction!"

Sparky was then immediately interested on this library.

"Do you want a tour around Ponyville?" Asked Twilight "I could tell my friends about you."

"That's a splendid idea!" Cried Sparky, he really didn't care about her friends, he was only interested on learning about this world.

Twilight headed out the door, she is then followed by Sparky.

Chapter 2: Meet the Mane 6

343 Guilty Spark flew out of the PonyVille Library, carefully checking its surroundings. Hmm, they do seem primitive. Their technology matches that of a tier 7 civilisation he thought. Something suddenly caught his attention, a cloud house with rainbows flowing out of it! Something that needs investigating!

"Hey, we should go Fluttershy first" said Twilight Sparkle, she turned around to find that 343 Guilty Spark is nowhere to be found. She then notice a blue ball heading to Rainbow Dash house. "Wait Sparky!" she yelled.

343 Guilty Spark flew to the cloud house, "This is quite amazing, the ponies are able to create houses from clouds. Such wonders!" He hummed to himself. As he went closer, atleast 500 feet above the ground, something powerful collided with him, it however felt like a pinch since he survived being shot at by a spartan lazer 3 times. He turned around to face his attacker, only to be smacked again. Once he had enough, he used a waker version of his beam and fired, a lucky shot!

Rainbow Dash felt a sting on her leg. She screamed in agony, and fell down. Twilight witnessed what happened, "Rainbow Dash!" she screamed.

343 Guilty Spark did not intend to hurt Rainbow Dash, once he saw here following from a high attitude, he quickly flew down.

300 feet before impact, I must act quickly! Sparky thought. She went down faster and faster.

200 feet before impact It was nearly close enough to use his gravity beam

100 feet before impact 343 Guilty Spark used his gravity beam on Rainbow Dash, now finding herself floating in midair.

"Rainbow Dash!" cried a startled Twilight Sparkle, "Thank goodness you're ok!"

"Uhh Twilight, can you release me now?" Asked Rainbow Dash, she then fell face first into the floor. "What was that for?" Growled Rainbow Dash. Twilight stared daggers at 343 Guilty Spark.

"Why did you have to hurt her!" Demanded Twilight, "Why did you leave me anyways!"

"Well, first she attacked me, and second I was curious at how your species are able to build shelters made out of clouds?"

"Well you almost killed Rainbow Dash!" Argued Twilight.

"I used a weaker version of my beam to merely sting her!" Sparky called back

"Just a sting?" Asked Rainbow Dash, "It nearly killed me!"

343 Guilty Spark looked at them both, before speaking. "Well, my apologise, I thought your race were not that vulnerable to plasma."  he pointed out.

Twilight Sparkle understood its mistake, nodding, but Rainbow Dash decided to fight back. "Who cares?" She shouted "I ain't trusting whoever you are!"

"Oh my," 343 Guilty Spark did not expect this, "I've made this same mistake before, and ended up having my installation, The Ark, and even myself destroyed."

Rainbow Dash did not care and charged, however she found herself pulled back.

"Rainbow Dash!" Said a Twilight, "You must not act like that in front of a guest!" Twilight was really disappointed, The Monitor then remembered something. "Twilight, I should meet your friends, is this Rainbow Dash one of them?"

Twilight nodded "Ah yes, Sparky, should we meet them all?"

"Why yes, of course!" remarked Sparky

Twilight Sparkle looked at Rainbow Dash, who nodded and flew off at an impressive speed. He then noticed a pink mare that came out of no where. 343 Guilty Spark looked at the mare, who immediately gasped and dashed away at speeds that even rivalled that of his fastest Sentinels.

"Twilight."

"Yes Sparky?" She asked.

"Who is that pink mare that gasped at me?"

Twilight Sparkle was confused for a moment, then said "That's my friend Pinkie Pie, she loves parties."

343 Guilty Spark did not understand the last word, but ignored it. As fast as a flash, Rainbow Dash came back.

"Hey Twilight and..." She glared at 343 Guilty Spark "Sparky." She does not like him, no she hated him. She then looked back at her friend, "The others are at Sugercube corner, they are organising a party." That is when Twilight Sparkle face-hoofed.

Rainbow Dash was worried about her friend, she then stared at Sparky, "What did yo-" she was the interrupted by Twilight.

"Rainbow Dash, that party is for 343 Guilty Spark!". The Monitor was then excited,  HE was so eager to find out what a party is! A PARTY THAT WAS MADE FOR HIM, SUCH WONDERS!

"I am so eager to find out more about this party!" Exclaimed 343 Guilty Spark "One made for me!". Rainbow Dash then knew something was wrong...

//Sugercube corner...

"Uhh Pinkie Pie, who is 343 Guilty Spark?" Asked Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity looking at Pinkie Pie.

"Oh, he is floaty ball thing I found talking to Fluttershy!" Answered Pinkie Pie

The 3 mares were then confused, when suddenly the door opened.

"SURP-" everypony screamed.

//Back to 343 Guilty Spark

"SURPRISE!" Screamed everypony. 343 Guilty Spark never felt this happy before. "So, is this a party?" He shouted at Twilight over the noise, Twilight nodded. A pink pony then popped out of nowhere.

"HITHERE!" She screamed ,"mynameispinkiepiedoyouknowwhatapartyisisyourname343guiltysparkweshou-" Twilight stuffed her hoof in Pinkie Pies mouth, she expected Sparky not to understand a word, however he did anyways.

"Well, hello there Pinkie Pie, yes I don't know what a party is and yes my name is 343 Guilty Spark, but first we must meet Twilight Sparkle's friends." He said, he then saw 3 other mares walking to him.

The orange one was the first one to speak "Howdy there, mah name is Applejack, Ah suppose yer 343 Guilty Spark?"

The white pony the introduced herself "My name is Rarity, you do look... Marvellous."

The last pony spoke very quietly "My name is Flutter, Fluttershy."

343 Guilty Spark seemed to catch that "Well hello Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash,  as you may know, I am 343 Guilty Spark, pleasure to meet you all."

The other ponies, except Rainbow Dash, seemed to like him immediately. Pinkie Pie the jumped up and screamed

"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!"

Chapter 4: The Ark

While partying 343 Guilty Spark have tried many activities, he failed at Pin The Tail On The Pony because he was blindfolded, so he cannot use his beams, he beat Twilight Sparkle in a pop quiz and all sort of crazy events when suddenly, the door opened revealing a white alicorn- Princess Celestia with another alicorn, Princess Luna.

"Ah, 343 Guilty Spark," said a happy Princess Celestia, "It appears that most of my meetings have been cancelled, giving me enough time to ask you questions."

"Gladly!" Sparky loved answering questions, "What is it you need?"

Rainbow Dash immediately interrupted "What the hay are you and why are you here!" She shouted.

The Princesses frowned at Rainbow Dash's sudden outburst, however Sparky did not care.

"I am a monitor, an artificial intelligence made by the Forerunners, I was made to contain the Flood, a highly dangerous parasite, and to fire my rings once they get freed." He answered. Princess Celestia was creeped by the mention of the Flood, she asked Sparky another question, "What were you doing before you ended up her." 343 Guilty Spark looked at her, before he spoke, the others interested at his story.

"Defending The Ark"

//Flashback....

Sergeant Johnson walked up to the Index Control Panel, 343 Guilty Spark floating behind him.

"Oh hello, wonderful news, the installation is almost complete!" He announced to Johnson.

"Yeah, great news." Johnson said sarcastically.

"Yes, isn't it?" Said 343 Guilty Spark "I just began my simulation, no promises, but the installation should fire in just a few more days."

Johnson turned to Sparky and said "We don't have a few more days!"

343 Guilty Spark immediately hesitated. "But, but but... A premature firing will destroy the Ark!

"Wo cares" growled the human.

"You will then destroy this installation..."

Suddenly reached full-state rampancy, 343 Guilty Spark turned to Johson, firing a powerful red beam at him, before screaming.

"Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!" he then turned to a charging John-117, Sparky immediately fired the same beam at the 7 foot tall human, knocking him atleast 15 feet away. He then stung the Arbiter with a weaker beam, strong enough to paralyse him.

"Protocol dictates action, I see now helping you was wrong!" he yelled at the limping spartan, he then calmed down for a while, "You are the child of my makers, a inheritor of all left behind, you are Forerunner, but this ring...is mine!"

He flew up very high and fired a beam continuously at Master Chief, filled with rage and anger, he summoned a force field to protect him from all the weak attacks the spartan threw at him. "You do not deserve this ring!" 343 Guilty Spark declared, "I kept it safe, it is mine!"

A weak voice came out from behind the monitor, it was Johnson, "Not... For long!" He groaned before firing a shot from his Spartan Lazer. 343 Guilty Spark was immediately angered by the dying human. "My eye!" he shouted "You mean blind me?". He prepared to prepare another beam, but Johnson gave Master Chief his Spartan Lazer, the spartan turned to the monitor and shot him.

"Do you not want your inheritance, reclaimer?" Muttered the weakened monitor, who quickly prepared another beam and fired, nearly killing Master Chief. The spartan wanted to end it, aimed at the monitor and fired the last shot, blowing it up. Little did anyone know, the monitor was caught in a slipspace rupture.

//End of flashback...

The ponies were amazed at the monitors story, it was hard to believe such a peaceful machine can be violent. They did not expect such a story.

The princesses could not handle it, "We will ask you more questions tomorrow." They said, before walking away.
