A bolt of electricity went through the air, and a black ball opened, electricity shooting out of it over the Everfree forest. Suddenly, two large metal objects went out of it, and the slip space portal closed. One object looked like a Chaingun, and the other a SPARTAN 2. They both hit the ground with a large thudding noise, and a groan was heard.
"Damn Covenant." A Hungarian accent said. This SPARTAN, known as Jorge by Noble Team, sat up, rubbing his head.
He looked around, and spotted his helmet on the forest floor two feet away. Jorge grabbed it, then put it on. "Where am I? Last thing I remembered was activating a slip space drive in a Covie Corvette." Jorge looked around, and picked his railgun up, hoisting it on his shoulder.
"Holland, respond, over?" Jorge said in his radio. "Six? Noble? D.O.T?" Jorge tried again, only to hear static.
'Is this Reach?' Jorge thought, looking around. 'Last time I checked, you don't need armor or weapons in Heaven or Hell.'
Suddenly, Jorge spotted a large red dot on his radar, and turned around to see a...Hydra? Last time he checked, there wasn't a Hydra on Reach.
"Why the Hell is this here? You're supposed to be a myth!" Jorge said, the Hydra only roared, it's four heads looking at their supposed meal. One head suddenly reared back, and lunged, biting Jorge's armor, only to find most of it's teeth breaking, and a yellow electric shield surrounding the SPARTAN.
"So, you want to play that way?" Jorge said, holding his Railgun with two hands. He then pointed it at the Hydra's heads, and fired, destroying two heads with the bullets launching out of the Minigun. "Who's next?" Two more heads then sprouted out of the dead ones, making Jorge smile.
He then readied his weapon, and started firing, the bullets hitting the Hydra's legs, stopping it. He then dropped his railgun, and ran forwards, using his Sprint ability. He then punched the Hydra's stomach, sending it back a few meters. Jorge ran towards his railgun, and grabbed it, firing at it's four heads, each head getting a flurry of bullets. The Hydra dropped, dead on the floor, blood and brain matter oozing out.
"So, I'm not in Reach, and I'm not dead. Time to find out where I am." Jorge said, looking around. He then started to walk in a random direction, heading towards Ponyville.
Six was sitting down, sipping some tea through his filters, when his radio crackled to life. "Six? Noble? D.O.T?" The radio then went to static. Six would look around, surprised.
"No...I thought Jorge was dead!" Six said to himself.
"Who's Jorge?" Spike asked.
"He was a team mate and a friend. He was supposedly KIA when he activated a Slip Space drive in a Covenant Corvette, destroying both the ship, and a Covenant Super Carrier." Six responded, grabbing his Magnum, and holstering it. He then walked outside, and started to look around.
He heard more static, but started to walk towards the Everfree forest. A large invisible figure followed him, it's two toed feet hitting the ground silently.
Jorge looked around. "This isn't a Covenant controlled planet, or else I'd see some Covenant patrols running around."
Suddenly, a rustling of bushes was heard, making Jorge turn around and aim his signature Chaingun at the bush. A EVA helmet came through the bushes, and soon a robotic arm. It made a few hand signals, making Jorge smile.
"Six, good to see you." Jorge said, chuckling.
Six came out of the bushes, holstering his pistol. "Good to see you too." Six said, saluting.
"Where are we?" Jorge asked, hoping for Six to know what planet they were on. "This isn't Reach, or a Covenant planet."
"Well, we're on a planet called Equis, natives are Hydras, Dragons, Manticores, Pony like Humans-Pagasi, Unicorns, and regular Pony like humans- griffons, among other creatures." Six said, shrugging like it was no big deal.
"Wait, so you're telling me a Slip Space drive just so happened to send my on a planet of mythical creatures, and anthro ponies?" Jorge asked, waiting for confirmation.
"Yes sir. And that ain't the best shit to hear. Wait 'til you hear about the Planet's best defense, and their names." Six said, laughing. Suddenly, a twig snapped behind Six, making him pull out his pistol. "Come out with your hands up, or I'll blow your fuckin' head off!"
A large figure formed, to show an Sangheili Zealot, in full armor, standing there, leaning against a tree. "That's no way to treat a friend, SPARTAN." Raptor said, rolling a stick in his fingers. Suddenly, Jorge ran toward Raptor, and stuck a pistol in the middle of his upper jaw. Raptor flexed his mandibles carefully.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Raptor, Zara, who is a Elite Ultra, and two annoying little grunts, Zip and Yap. Don't worry, they work for the UNSC." Six said, calming Jorge down.
"So, you have found one of your SPARTANs?" Raptor asked, eyeing Jorge.
"Yeah, thanks to the big guy. His name is Jorge." Six said, pointing to Jorge.
Jorge pulled his pistol out, and holstered it. Raptor stretched his mandibles instinctively. "Were it so easy?" Raptor muttered, so only Jorge could hear. "We must go, the Timberwolves have caught our scent."
"And they must love the smell of green." Six finished, smiling as he walked off. Jorge and Raptor followed, eyeing each other carefully, but Six either didn't notice, or didn't give a fuck.
"So, what happened while I was gone?" Jorge asked, looking at Six.
"Well, for one we thought you were dead, but after you threw me out of the ship, I started to free fall into the atmosphere of Reach. After I fell, I went up to a dead body, who had a camera attached to it, and grabbed a pistol off the poor guy's hand..." Six said, as he started to tell Jorge what happened to Reach.
"...and then Raptor came along when one of the Zealots tried to stab me, and he shot it, killing his comrade. He then pulled out his Energy Sword, and started to kill the Elites surrounding me until they were dead." Six said, as they were arriving to Ponyville.
"So, I went towards my helmet, picked it up, and grabbed my pistol, which I grabbed ammo for. I looked up to a Covenant ship over head, and then a bright light, probably from it glassing the planet. After that, I woke up here." Six finished, waving to some anthro ponies, who waved back.
Most of the town got used to Six and Raptor, a few were afraid of Zip, Yap, and Zara. But once they saw Jorge, a few actually ran into their houses and locked the doors, closed the curtains, and some went as far as boarding their windows.
"That's strange, I don't remember any of the ponies having any weapons." Six said, Raptor nodding as a stallion took out a sword.
"Kill them!" A stallion shouted out, as a few more ran towards Jorge and Six. One of them got a knife out and got behind Jorge. He raised up his knife, and struck down, only for the metal to sizzle. He looked to his right to find Raptor, flaring his mandibles. Raptor then sliced, cutting the stallion in half.
"The Hell did you do that for?" Six asked, looking at Raptor.
"These are not ponies. See, they're disguises." Raptor said, pointing at the stallion. The stallion had green blood, and his body caught on fire, but the flames were green. It then shows a strange bug like pony hybrid, with hands and saber teeth.
Jorge smiled as he aimed his signature Chaingun at the Changelings. "Alright, so I can kill them." Jorge said, firing his minigun at the changelings.
Seeing their disguises didn't work, they changed to their normal forms. Six and Raptor stood back to back. Six got his Kukri out, and Raptor still had his Energy Sword out.
"So...you take the ones on the left and I take the ones on the right?" Six said, looking around. Raptor only roared the changelings, raising his sword.
The changelings suddenly stopped, and flew away, confusing Jorge, Six, and Raptor.
"The Hell?" Jorge said, turning around. He saw nothing, not a pony like human, or those strange bug ponies. "They just up and left? Why?"
"SPARTAN, something tells me that they didn't do this for no reason. This was supposed to be a trap." Raptor answered, looking around.
"That's weird, all of their eyes were just green, no irises." Six said, then he would walk towards a large tree.
"Alright, now I've seen everything." Jorge said, walking towards the tree house as well. He tried to walk into the doorway, only to hit his head against the frame. He then bent over slightly, fitting in.
"Humans are such weird creatures." Raptor said, following them. He bent down, then went into the doorway without a problem.
