Noble Heroes

Raptor sat there, under the shade of a tree. He felt the gentle breeze against his armor, making him smile for the peace this land had. Reminded him of his home, back before he was in the Covenant. He sighed in relaxation, he had no worries in the world.

*CRASH*

Well, he did have one. But, he got up anyway, to check what the Cutie Mark Crusaders broke this time. "I swear, these fillies remind me of a friend I used to know." Raptor said in Sangheilian, ignoring a strange look from Big Macintosh. "Alright little ones, what have you done this time?"

"We're trying to find out what your sword thing turns on." Scootaloo chirped, completely oblivious to the face Raptor was giving them.

"Yeah, your sword doesn't wanna work, and we're tryin' to find out how to turn it on." Apple Bloom said, looking at the alien object.

Raptor took it from her hands, then growled.

"I told you we should have asked him before we touched it." Sweetie said, looking at Scootaloo.

"Yeah, well...Shut up!" Scootaloo said, causing an argument between the two, making AB and Raptor watch.

Both squealed in surprise as Raptor lifted them up with both hands, holding Sweetie in one, and Scoots in the other. "I've had enough of your bickering. You two shall stop arguing and stop touching my things without my permission." Raptor said, his mandibles now showing scaring AB. "Am I clear?"

Silence.

"I said, AM I CLEAR?!" Raptor said, obviously annoyed.

"Yes Raptor."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Good, now, go run off and try to find your Cutie Marks." The White armored Sangheilian said.

"Alright!" AB said, grabbing her friend's hands, and running off.

"Well, ya'll took care of that quick like." AJ remarked, noticing the fillies run out.

"When you live with Grunts, you get used to it." Raptor said, then, he would notice a Alicorn coming, her purple fur was most noticeable, but, that didn't catch Raptor's eye. The thing that did was the seven foot SPARTAN, known as Noble 6 walking with her.

"Looks like Twi's comin' to visit us. And it looks like she brang a friend." AJ said, but then, she noticed Raptor tensing up. "What's wrong?" AJ asked.

"It's a Human." Raptor said, making AJ look closely at the Black armored SPARTAN walking with Twilight. "AJ, stay here, I'll go talk with the Human." Raptor said, activating his Active Camo, disappearing from view.

"Do I really have to come?" Six asked, looking at Twilight.

"Yeah, AJ said she found a new species of Dragon. I want you to come along for protection. Plus, the only other Dragon you've seen is Spike." Twilight said, making Six sigh.

"Damn, can't argue with you." Six said, making Twilight smile.

Suddenly, Six saw a shimmer of light, and tackled something large to the ground. Suddenly, a Sangheili was in view, it's Camo flickering, then turning off, amazing Twilight, but enraging Six. Six raised his fist, then punched down, only to be blocked by Raptor. Raptor then kicked the SPARTAN off, destroying part of the fence. AJ ran out, seeing what the commotion was about.

"Sorry Applejack, I'll rebuild the fence for you once I have the situation under control." Raptor said, but then, Six kicked Raptor, making the Elite stumble.

"Damn Covenant can't just leave us alone!" Six said, drawing his Kukri out.

Raptor held up his hands in surrender. "I don't want to fight!" Raptor said, but then Six ran towards the Sangheili. Raptor then activated his Energy Knife attached to his wrist. Both blades clashed, sending sparks and bits of energy to the ground.

Raptor kicked Six away, then cut at the SPARTAN, cutting Six's armor off his right arm, to show a metal arm! Raptor could only stare at the arm, then at the black armored EVA SPARTAN.

Six growled, but then his punched Raptor's gut with his robotic hand, and smiled as he saw the Elite drop to the ground, coughing and wheezing for air. Six then cut at Raptor, cutting a part of Raptor's back, causing him to roar in pain, his mandibles stretching out, scaring AJ and Twilight.

Six wiped the blood off of his Kukri, then swung down. As Raptor was waiting for the killing blow, a purple aura surrounded Six's robotic hand, stopping the knife inches from Raptor's skull. Six then looked at Twilight, who stopped the Kukri from killing Raptor. AJ then ran towards Raptor, helping the Elite up.

"Raptor, Ah'm sorry. If Ah knew Twi would bring this...robot thing, then Ah woulda stopped her. Ah'm so sorry." AJ said, but then Raptor held up his four fingered hand, silencing her.

"It is alright, Applejack. His kind and mine have been at war for twenty years. It is to be expected." Raptor said, but then, he coughed, causing AJ to become worried.

Twilight would then frown at Six. "What?" Six asked, looking at Twilight, confused.

"Why did you attack him? He could be a new species, and you almost killed him." Twilight asked, completely angry.

"Actually, his kind has been killing Humanity for nearly thirty years. You would've done the same." Six said, then, Raptor chuckled.

"I was on Reach, helping Noble Team. Your kind was going to lose, so me and my comrades helped you out. Who do you think talked to your Commander into using the Sabre program?" Raptor said, smiling.

"Damn, I never thought I'd see the day when a Split jaw took one for me." Six said, then, a clearing throat made them look at the two ponies. "Looks like we have some explaining to do."

"Indeed." Raptor agreed as they made their way towards AJ's home.
