Human Prologue (Don't judge from my sense of humor please)
[ALERT, ALERT! TESTING ON THE WARP DRIVE WILL COMMENCE IN TEN MINUTES]
“Will, hurry and get your gear on!” Andrew barked as he brushed his short, brown hair out of his bright blue eyes. Soldiers could be seen scrambling around them as the sound of heavy boots plodded on the aluminium flooring.
Will nodded and quickly tied the laces of his combat boots. Andrew walked out of the grey door and continued onto the deck of the ship.
Andrew opened his satchel that he kept around his waist and took out a keycard. He moved the keycard up and swiped it across a sensor beam. A heavy steel door parted revealing a round, metallic room with several men in army uniforms manning a control panel. The men were spread in a semicircle around a tall, white chair. Passing the control panel was four massive panes of glass spreading throughout the panels, separated by secure iron bars. Sitting on the white chair was a young man that went by the name Jake. He wore different clothing to the rest. He wore a black suit with golden shoulderpads. He had long black hair, half covered by a beret with a golden hawk printed on it. Within the hawk were the letters “UNSC”. Andrew walked up to the chair.
“Commander, are you sure Will is up for this, I mean he is still new?” Andrew said with a slightly worried look on his face. Jake waved his hand and nodded.
“Very well...” Andrew said before leaving the room.
Jake pushed a button and opened up a command console on the left arm of the chair.
“Lieutenant, put me in a link call with England.” Jake said, with a stern look on his face. He began tapping his finger on the right arm of the chair.
A few seconds later a ringing could be heard, but was shortly silenced.
“Commander, England isn’t accepting the skype call...” the lieutenant said. The lieutenant looked over to Jake, who was now tapping his finger even faster. Jake crossed his legs and looked at the lieutenant in the eye, signaling him to retry. He broke eye contact with Jake and attempted to call England again. This time England Picked up.
“Hello England.” Jake said. He had stopped tapping his finger in anticipation for the witty remark, which England was famous for.
"Red Fox, standing by." England said while snickering slightly in the background.
Jake breathed in heavily, trying his best not to scream insults at England.
“I am ever so sorry that I did not pick up earlier, I was having a spot of tea and crumpets.” the English commander said in a lighthearted tone.
"Is the English soldier being transferred yet? We could really use someone to make sure the recruits have everything in order... because you know...America.” Jake asked bluntly, before looking down slightly and crossing his arms impatiently.
“Oh you Americans... If it wasn't for our tea, you would still be ruled by us. But Yes. Whenever you are ready to take him,” the English commander replied.
Jake smiled in excitement and slammed in hands onto the console.
“Send him then!” Jake screamed triumphantly.
Whispering could be heard in the background before someone on the English line finally shouted.
“SCOTTY, BEAM ME UP!”
Scott pressed a couple a buttons and warped a boy with brown hair of average length to the control room.
“How did you know my name?” Scott asked, with a confused look on his face.
The man just shrugged and went up to Jake. The man stood in front of Jake and bowed before him.
“Nathan McCloud, fourth lieutenant of the English ship, at your service”
Jake opened his mouth to say something before being interrupted by the blaring of sirens.
[ALERT, ALERT! WARP DRIVE TESTING WILL COMMENCE IN TWO MINUTES!]
Nathan smiled at the sirens, which were music to his ears.
“I will help you make sure it runs smoothly, do not worry.”
Nathan walked out of the control room.
“So, did he arrive?” The English commander asked through the skype call.
“Yes, have you had any luck getting in touch with Russia?” asked Jake.
“Well... yes... but they were too drunk to speak Russian, let alone English.” the English commander said, with slight hatred in their crumpet filled mouths.
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~
Will ran over to Andrew, who was strapping himself into the pod... in the pod room... full of pods.
“Sorry I am late Andrew!” Will said as he went into the pod next to Andrew and began strapping himself in. Nathan walked into the pod room.
“Alright, this room will keep you all safe from warp radiation. Only this room and the control room have it. I am going to ensure you guys are safe before warping. Any questions?” Nathan said with a straight look on his face. Andrew raised his hand and Nathan pointed at Andrew, signaling that he could talk.
Andrew took a deep breath and thought to himself.
This question could be the difference between life and death of all the crew members...
He spoke up loudly with confidence.
“Why is there a British guy on an American ship?”
Nathan facepalmed and continued.
“Anyone else? No? Alright, have a safe journey.”
Nathan walked out and went back to the Control room.
[ALERT, ALERT! TESTING OF WARP DRIVE WILL COMMENCE IN SIXTY SECONDS!]
Nathan went back into the control room, tinted red by the siren lights overhead. Over the intercom, an emotionless voice repeated the word "warning" over and over. Jake was panicking and talking to England and the now sober Russia.
“What is going on England! Nathan, is this supposed to happen!?”
Nathan shook his head and ran to the control panel in a panic, pushing a man over and typed something.
“Commanders... Brace for impact...” Nathan said, worried.

In a galaxy far far away, there is a beautiful, lush world that has avoided the technological age and still complies with the rules of magic. Within the atmosphere, the air is fresh and the sky is still beaming with a bright blue, like what Earth once was.
The residents of this world do not fight unless they found there was no other way out. In the center of this beautiful, lush world is a city, named Canterlot. Inside that city are many stores and houses, all bursting with activity. Residents would buy and sell goods, go home, wake up, and repeat. This was the average day for the residents of this world.
Though the world is very similar to the human world, there is one major difference; This world is run by ponies. The race in charge of this world are alicorns and in the center of the city ,which is in the center of the world, is a castle which from a glorious shining white emanates from the Sun when the beams hits The Castle, however at night it still looks magnificent as instead of a glorious white, it is a midnight blue color to match the Moon. Within the walls of the castle were two alicorns, which are the rulers of the Sun and Moon.
“Luna, are you ready for the Summer Sun Celebration?” shouted a majestic voice, connected to the pony that went by the name of Celestia, she had a white coat with a flowing rainbow mane. She had a sun tattooed on her flank.
A purple alicorn with a dark blue, flowing mane ran down a long flight of stairs. She arrived in front of the white alicorn, panting.
“I am sorry sister, I am a little late.” said the purple Alicorn, worried of her punishment. The white Alicorn just laughed and nuzzled her sister.
“It is alright, you don’t have to be so worried!” Celestia said with a warming smile. The purple alicorn frowned and looked down to the ground while shuffling her hooves a little.
“Luna, are you alright?” Celestia questioned, with a worried tone in a her voice.
Luna looked up to her sister and Celestia could see the pain in Luna’s eyes.
“I am just... why is there a Summer Sun Celebration and not a... Winter Moon Celebration?” Luna exclaimed. Celestia laughed.
“Luna, there is.” Celestia replied in a calm voice. Luna looked confused.
Celestia lift a hoof over Luna’s shoulder, pulling her into a gentle hug.
“It is called Hearth’s Warming Eve.” Celestia said with a smile on her face.
Celestia began to walk out of the big gate to the castle when Luna tried to stop her.
“Wait... Isn’t that celebrating the past? Tia... Celestia don’t lie to me!”
Directly South of the city was a small village known as Ponyville. Despite its small size, it had quite a few residents living there. Life in the village was completely different to life in the city and if any normal pony was going to move from the city to Ponyville, it would take them a few days to adjust to the change in pace
The sun was beaming bright this morning. Finally, all the hard work of everypony in the village had finally paid off.
Twilight ran around to everypony, making sure that they all had everything in order. The princesses only came out every now and then and Twilight didn’t want anything to go wrong. She went to the library for final preparations. The library was inside a giant hollowed-out tree and if you had never seen the design before, you would think it was just a normal tree.
“Drapes... check, lights... check, rugs... check, list... check, list of lists... check. Alright, everything seems to be in order!” Shortly after checking over the list again and again, an orange pony named Applejack walked into the library.
“Howdy Twi! Is everything ready for the Summer Sun Celebration?” Applejack asked her friend.
“Yes it is!” Twilight said delightedly. Applejack smiled.
“That’s good t’ hear. Well c’mon, we need ta’ get to the Town Hall,” Applejack said. After hearing this, Twilight got up and began running to the Town Hall, as she did not want to be late.
“Wait up Twi!” shouted Applejack, before following her friend out of the door.
The day was coming to a close, and as time progressed forward the beautiful, bright sun crept away, giving life to the glorious blanket of the night. Everypony snuggled up with one another, they all closed their eyes and were excitedly anticipating the next day, as it was the Summer Sun Celebration, a time where everypony joins together and celebrates the rising of the sun after the defeat of Nightmare Moon. Once again, it is being held within Ponyville. Celestia and Luna took the liberty of going to Ponyville beforehand to make sure the Elements of Harmony were alright with leading the preparations.
The Elements of Harmony are six very special ponies which all have a very special talents unlike no other. There is Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
There is a knock at the hollowed-out tree. Twilight Sparkle opened the door and before she could utter a word, she saw two majestic ponies standing upright, looking down at her.
“Princess Celestia... Princess Luna!” Twilight blurted out, shocked that the two rulers were at her doorway. Though they have been quite a few times, it was always shocking for Twilight to see them.
“Hello my little Pony!” Celestia says, in her confident voice, outspoken by all... Including Morgan Freeman. Luna let out a simple smile, she is always nervous in Ponyville, even more so because this celebration celebrates the defeat of her former self.
Twilight Sparkle stepped aside, giving the two Alicorns enough room to enter. In sync, they both walked in, taking light steps to not soil their reputations as princesses. Twilight, looking curious as to the reason for their early visit decides to ask.
“Princess, the Summer Sun Celebration is not for another three hours, why are you here so early?” Twilight says, while closing the door behind the two princesses. Luna looks around the library suspiciously. Celestia tilted her head while looking at Luna, she then puts her hoof onto Luna’s back, making her jump.
“Luna, are you alright? You have been acting nervous since we got here.” Celestia says, looking at her sister with a worried expression on her face. Luna exhales.
“Sorry sister, I am just a little insecure... I haven’t had the best of times in Ponyville...” Luna says while shuffling her hooves around slightly on the cold, mahogany flooring. Twilight walks up to Luna and hugs her tightly.
“Don’t worry Luna, everypony here has forgiven you and they don’t dislike you anymore! You shouldn’t have to feel insecure while you’re in Ponyville.” Luna forces out a smile, trying to act civilized.
“Thank you Twilight Sparkle, I... will remember that.” Luna said.
All the ponies were herding to Ponyville. The Cloak of Night had progressed without a worry in the world. Everything was going smoothly and the sun was about to rise and give way to the brilliant blaze of the magnificent sun. The two alicorns were in position in the town hall. Every pony from far and wide, stallions and mares of all ages had come and are settling into the grand hall, all of them being very eager to see the princesses. The Elements of Harmony sat in the crowd also, waiting to see their rulers once again.
Velvet drapes began to open slowly, everypony stopped their conversations and began to listen in. The two princesses were revealed under the velvet curtain. Celestia began to speak in her majestic voice.
“Welcome everyp...”
Celestia gasped and she is interrupted by a strange sound which nopony had ever heard, followed by a strange raspy voice repeating “Warning” loudly over and over. Harsh shaking began followed by three loud crashes that were heard within the walls of the hall, one after the other.
Everypony is deathly silent within the building. Luna couldn’t take it anymore and began to sprint through the major crowd of people to the outside. Luna saw three giant, metallic, objects hammered into the ground. Each worsening the shaking and landing at opposite parts of Equestria.Luna’s pupils dilate and she began to shake. Celestia appeared behind Luna.
“It looks like one is in Filly Delphia, one in the Hayseed Swamp and one is in San Palomino Desert.”
Luna quickly turns her head to Celestia.
“Sister... what is happening?”
Celestia closed her eyes. Anypony within a million miles could see she was clueless.
“I don’t know...”
