Raptor stood there, his Energy Sword in hand, eyeing the targets. He then growled, and started to sprint towards his enemies. He then flicked his wrist, causing him to cut his victim in half, and slashed downward on the second, cutting it in half, and impaled the third.

He then flicked his wrist again, cutting his fourth victim's arm and leg off. All four targets fell to the ground, and some light would show some piles of hay, covered with a lavender aura, to look like four different enemies.

"Nice job with the sword. A little too fast, and lethal, but, we'll get there." Twilight commented, making Raptor laugh. "What's so funny?"

"This sword was created to be fast, and very deadly. Why do you think I rely on honor in my culture?" Raptor said, making Twilight pale.

"Don't worry, I won't need to use my weapons unless I have to." Raptor said, turning his Energy Sword off.

Six would wait in the shadows of a apple tree, looking at his robotic arm, reminding him of Kat. He growled in anger, and punched the tree with his bionic arm, causing all the apples to fall into the barrels below. He reeled his fist back in pain, remembering he can still feel in his fake arm. "Damn, I forgot my nerves are still attached to the thing, and muscles!"

"Ah would recommend ya'll don't swear near mah family and home." AJ said, rolling her eyes, but smiled anyway.

"What are you gunna do then, partner?" Six said, mocking AJs speech.

"Ah'd say Ah'd punch you, but seeing as how you're taller than me, and stronger too, Ah'll not hit you, for now." AJ said, growling in annoyance.

Six then brought his kukri out, and aimed it at a nearby tree. He then threw it, and three figures fell out, screaming in fear. Raptor remembered the screams, and ran towards the three that were falling. He quickly grabbed them in both arms, and stopped, letting them down.

"Little ones, what are you doing here?" Raptor asked Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo. "And, more importantly, why were you in the tree?"

"We wanted to come visit, but that robot scared us, so we hid in the tree." Sweetie said, looking at Six with fear in her eyes.

Six quickly grabbed the kukri from the tree, and sheathed it, looking at the three. "Kiddo, you just made friends with an alien race that has been killing mine for about thirty years. I think you should be afraid of him, not me." Six said, making AB mad.

"Nuh uh. He's not hurtin' anyone here. Plus, he saved us from Timberwolves." AB said in her southern voice.

"Wait, he did wha now?" AJ asked, looking at AB.

"Well, we were tryin' to find out what that large ball was in tha sky was, and why it dropped somethin' down, like seven things." AB answered, not noticing her sisters worry.

"Then, those Timberwolves came out, and I tried to fight them, like Rainbow Dash would've done, but, there was about thirty of them, and then those two were afraid, and then I-" Scootaloo started, before Raptor coughed, causing all eyes to go to him.

"Actually, those three little ones were afraid of the Ninshin. I came in, and used my blade to cleanse them. In other words, I cut them to pieces. I remember those three screaming out of their lungs, I was sure that they would've screamed to death." Raptor said, making Scootaloo blush.

"By the way, there was only three of what you call, "Timberwolves". Then, I took AB and brought her here, and then her sister knows the rest. Before I met these three, I had to fight a lion with a scorpion tail, and what humans call, bat wings, attached, I took it down easily."

"You took on a Manticore? Cool!" Scootaloo said, earning a glare from Twilight.

Suddenly, a large form, in the cover of the trees, smiled as his mandibles clicked. He turned invisible, and walked towards Six.

Six then started to hit his helmet, causing some concerned glances to go his way. "Damn sensors! Work! Wait, that's not good." Six said, then, he turned towards the invisible figure.

Seeing his cover was blown, the Spec Ops Sangheili uncloaked, his large form appearing as he attempted to stab Six. Six grabbed the Elites hand, and used his other to punch his face. A large crack was heard as one of the Elite's mandibles broke, causing everyone, except for Raptor and Six to flinch.

"Dirty heretic. After I purge this demon, I shall take you and the unholy Ninshin on!" The Elite said, looking at Raptor.

Raptor noticed that this elite had way different armor than normal Spec Ops. His green/yellow scales were showing, and its snout was a bit longer. Its mandibles were a bit short too. Six grabbed his military standard knife out, and stabbed the Elite between his two right mandibles, causing him to roar in rage and pain. He pulled out the knife, and looked at Six, growling angrily.

"Bring it, bitch." Six taunted, causing the Sangheili to roar, and charge, his Energy Sword ready to swipe at Six. Six narrowly dodged, and grabbed his knife, and threw it, making it collide with the new Spec Ops armored Elite. The large creature stumbled backwards, but started to charge at Six.

Six ran towards the Elite, and tackled the large creature, causing both to fall to the ground. Six pulled the knife out of the Elites chest, smirking. the large creature growled, still alive, but Raptor pushed his foot down on the injured Elites chest, causing it to growl in pain.

"Looks like a human beat you in honor." Raptor said, making the different looking Elite frown.

"Finish me quickly, I'd rather not let you have the satisfactory to kill my brothers while I still breathe." The Elite said, purple/blue blood spilling out of some of his wounds.

"As much as I'd like it, I will not kill you. I shall give you a offer. You join me and these 'Ponies', and you will see your honor be redeemed. Don't join us, and I shall send you to their leaders myself. If you somehow escape, and somehow get back to 'Truth', then tell him I would like to meet him, and make sure he doesn't send you here again." Raptor said, making the Elite laugh.

"Truth, that old fool can burn in the eternal fires of Hell for all I care. We made a separate group of Covenant. One that follows the Great Journey without activating the Holy Rings and killing everything in the Galaxy. We don't follow Truth, or the Demons!" The Elite said, making Raptor smile, confusing the Spec Ops Elite. "Why are you smiling, Ninshin?"

"Because he just found all the information he needs. You're very glad that he feels like being nice. Because he would've pounded you to Hell and back." Six said, laughing.

"Twilight, take this Covenant worm to your leaders. They'll need the information of how, and when, he got here. Also, tell them that they can use any type of torture to get it out of him." Raptor said, making the disgusted Twilight nod, and teleport both her and the Spec Ops Elite to Canterlot.

"What's ninshin mean?" Sweetie asked, making Raptor chuckle.

"It means Unworthy Being, or Worm, in my culture." Raptor said.
