Chapter 1: Twiight meets a hipster perv

Chapter 1

A few days after the craziness of meeting Sunshi....(cough) Sunset Shimmer, Twilight was ready to be back at her happy home in Ponyville. Everything was normal and peaceful until one morning, there was a knock at her door. "I wonder who that is?" asked Twilight. She would've had Spike open the door but since the baby dragon was sleeping and it was only seven o' clock in the morning, she would've felt bad for waking him up.

"Besides," yawned Twilight. "If I can stay up all night just to read about spells and such, I shouldn't have a problem opening the door." She looked through the peephole and saw a young stallion looking at the door. His fur was a light brown and his hair was swept back like Dr. Whooves. But, instead of murmuring to himself like the Doctor always does, he was just moving his eye back and forth through the peephole. His cutie mark was a triangle inside of a upside down triangle like the stallion Link a couple blocks away. She decided that he didn't look too dangerous, he was an Earth stallion after all. She let him in and he ran into her.

"Oops uh sorry." said the stallion as he stood on top of her. She was blushing even though she was clearly annoyed.

"No by all means, COME IN."

"Uh...I am in."

"I know, it was sarcasm, can you get off of me please?"

"Oh...uhhh."

"NOW!"

"Okay! Sorry."

He was obviously nervous, she could see that just by looking at him.

"Are you... Twilight Sparkle?" She was quickly surprised that he knew her name.

"Why yes I am and who are you sir?"

"I am Artie it's nice to meet you!" He held out his hoof.

"Well," Twilight thought. "At least he's a gentlecolt." She held out her hoof only for him to smack it up and down. "OW!" She held her hoof. "Why would you do that?"

"That's how I say hello." he looked down frowning. For some odd reason Twilight wanted to let him know he didn't so anything wrong, even though he kind of did.

"Sorry, I've never seen someone do that before. What are you here for?" she asked him sympathetically.

"I'm here for a book Ms. Sparkle." "Ms. Sparkle is my mother, you can call me Twilight."

"Ok Twilight!" he was obviously happy she was willing to let him use her first name.

"What kind of book do you need?" asked Twilight as she started sifting through the books she had already read.

"I want like a book to tell me how to come on to a beautiful alicorn." She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around to face him. He was looking down and rubbing his hoof along the wooden floorboard. He was blushing really hard and she was blushing as well but she was more shocked over anything else.

"I don't think we have any types of books here. But, there is this website called fimfictio-"

"What I'm really trying to say is, would you like to go somewhere?"

"At seven o' clock in the morning? With somepony I don't even know? How do you even know me?" She asked almost regretting she let this stallion into her home.

"I'll answer all of those questions for you, it can be at whatever time you'd like, and you could get to know me, and I know you because of Princess Celestia."

"You know Princess Celestia?" she asked amazed.

"Well, one day I was summoned to make a sculpture of her but when she turned around I saw her flank and her cutie mark was a sun so I said, that's one fiery flank. She then banished me to the moon for one hour. But before I left she was lecturing me on how if you were there, she would've gave you a lesson on how to turn a stallion into the pig he really is." She stared in shock at this rude and dirty stallion.

"So you have the nerve to come to me this early in the morning to come on to the student of the Princess that you insulted?"

"It was more of a compliment-"

"GOODBYE!" And with that she lifted him up with her magic and threw him out of the door. Slamming the door behind him. "It'll be too soon if I see that pig again, he's worser then Diamond Dogs!" She said as she sat down at her table. Too bad she was going to see him a lot sooner then what she had in mind.

Chapter 2: Fluttershy meets a kind warrior

Fluttershy was peacefully asleep with Angel next to her. She was in bliss until she heard someone yell for help. Her helping instincts came right into gear and she had flew downstairs with Angel snoring soundly asleep. She opened the door and looked around. She suddenly realized that the sound was coming from the Everfree forest. She really didn't want to go in there but she couldn't ignore a cry for help and no one was near to help her.

"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!" yelled a pleading voice. She knew the voice wasn't too far so she decided to take chances. She closed her eyes and ran into the forest.

"Umm... does anyone need my help?" she murmured.

"Please, someone help me!" someone cried. She realized he was down a slope where there was a lot of dirt. She flew down and looked into a underground cave.

"I...Is someone in there?" Fluttershy asked while peering into the cave.

"Over here Miss." She looked at a large rock and didn't notice anything at first, until she saw a black furred unicorn staring back at her. He had a black mane with red tips and his cutie mark had a sword and a shield crossing each other. He looked okay until she saw the gash in his forearm. He looked like he was going to pass out from either the pain or from being so tired.

"Hello ma'am, thank you for coming out to save me, another second and I would've had to crawl my way to civilization."

"OH NO ARE YOU OKAY?" She flew right over to him and tried to carry him. She knew he was weak but he was really heavy.

"Maybe I can help you." He said. A bright flash of light peered over them and she felt a lot stronger then she usually was. She tried to lift him and she did it effortlessly. She flew to the house with quick ease and laid him out on the table. She flew up to get some medical supplies and came back down to help him. After an hour of healing him and talking to him, she learned pretty much all there is to know about him.

She knew he used to be a royal guard for Princess Celestia until he decided he wouldn't do any good if he was to nice just attack someone and leave them to die. So he left to become an adventurer. He helped solve crimes and get artifacts until he got lost in the Everfree forest looking for the Legend of the Mirror Pool. He was there for a few days until he was attacked by timber wolves and that's how she found him a few hours later. He was pretty good at magic unless he was nervous or stressed out. They were telling things about each other for hours until Angel came bouncing down the stairs for something to eat. His scar was healing up really good and he was getting able to walk. When she came back from feeding Angel he was gone and he left a note.

It said, "It was lovely getting to know you Fluttershy, I would love to do this again sometime. I will meet and talk with you some other time very soon." He marked his name in cursive with a heart next to it. She looked up blushing and left singing her happy tune.

Chapter 3: Twilight gives him a chance

Later on that afternoon when the mane 6 went out for lunch, Fluttershy told them about the mysterious and wonderful stallion that she tended to. After she explained her encounter with him, Twilight huffed and told them about her morning with the pig known as Artie. After she had gotten to the part where Artie commented on Princess Celestia's flank, Rainbow Dash hit the floor laughing. She was tucking in her sides and groaning from laughing.

"It's not funny Rainbow Dash!" Twilight exclaimed. Rainbow Dash finally got it together and stood up.

"Sorry Twi, it was just so funny that someone is that rude to comment on the Princess like that! What did you do to him after though?"

"I threw him out like any other sane person would. I hope I never see that pig ever again!" Twilight sighed.

"Well lookie here Twi, you cant be so hard on 'im, just think, he came all the way from Canterlot just to see you. That sure is some commitment if nothin' else Twilight." Applejack said with a helpful look in her eyes.

"You should give him that Twilight." Pinkie said while eating a slice of cake.

"I guess you guys are right." Twilight said.

"You should go talk to him and let him know you don't want to rip his head off anymore." Rainbow Dash said.

"I don't even know where he is." Twilight sighed.

"He's at the train station getting ready to leave back to Canterlot." Pinkie Pie said. They all looked at her in astonishment.

"What? I know everyone in Ponyville remember, even if they just came here." Twilight left to go clear the air with the Earth stallion.

She caught him at the last moment before he got on the train.

"STOP." she yelled before accidentally ramming herself into him.

"Ow, now I know how it feels to be ram- never mind." he said.

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm not mad at you any more. What you did in your past only makes you a better and wiser person."

"Oh...really? So do you want to go on that date now?"

"No, never, you still said that to the Princess."

"Oh. Please?

"No."

"Pleease?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"Nooo."

"Pretty, pretty please?"

"NONONO!" It was quiet for a few moments before Artie decided to try his luck again and ask.

"Please?" She sighed and said,

"You wont stop until I say yes will you?"

"No."

"Even if I magically turned you into a frog?"

"Nope, you'd just hear a lot of croaks."

Twilight yelled a tired yell and finally succumbed to him.

" Okay fine, one lousy date, but if I don't like it, you'd better leave me be okay?"

"Okay! Deal! Pick you up at eight?"

"No, seven."

"Okay see you soon!" And he dashed off.

It was no later than six fifty when she was officially ready to go. She had on dark purple eyeliner and a black, and glittery dress she bought from Rarity.

"He better not be late." She muttered to herself. She gave Spike the day off so he wouldn't see her like this. She knew he was bound to ask questions and tease her and she frankly, knew she was gonna hate the embarrassment. He came five minutes earlier in a suave black tux with a red bow tie.

"Shall we?" He asked while holding out his forehoof for her to wrap hers around. She was astonished that a bum could look so wonderful in a tux. She stammered a bit before he told her she looked nice. She decided to stay quiet and follow him into the carriage.

They ended up at a poetry club and they took their seats in the far back.

"You come here?" Twilight asked.

"No, I'm from Canterlot remember? There's a club like this there and I do my poetry there, I just knew there was one here because the owner owns the one here as well."

"That's interesting." Twilight said. A few minutes the pony up front was done saying her speech about Earth Ponies needing to be heard, but frankly, Twilight was listening to her because she was stuck staring at Artie. She didn't notice them call his name up until he stood up to go.

"Guess it's my time to shine." He murmured. He went to the front of the stage confident. Twilight blushed when he looked at her and blinked.

"This poem is dedicated to a very beautiful alicorn, and this poem is called A Ponies Beauty:

A ponies beauty is patient and kind

It feeds your heart, soul and mind

It brings you joy and happiness within

Knowing that she will be with you

Through thick and thin.

A ponies beauty can be recaptured

Only if the partners heart has not been

Fractured.

A ponies beauty has no mistakes

It plays no one not even games.

A ponies beauty is slow and kind

Easy to learn but hard to find.

A ponies beauty.

Everyone was quiet at first until Artie said I'm done. Then everyone in the crowd starting capping harder and harder, astonished that he could make a poem so wonderful. He soon had gotten a standing novation, but he ignored them all and sat back down with Twilight. She had tears welling up and the rest of the night ended smoothly with everyone else doing great on the platform. It was ten o clock when Twilight went home and she was in bliss. She kissed Artie on the cheek and let him know they were going to meet tomorrow for brunch. She came in with Spike asking where had she been and why was she dressed like that.

"Rarity had a banquet and I was a guest of honor." Twilight said. Spike, satisfied with his answer but sad that Rarity didn't invite him, scuttled off to sleep. Twilight on the other hand, lied awake in her bed, happy that she actually gave the pig, no, the stallion a second chance.

Chapter 4: A trip to Halo

After a few months later and the Winter Wrap up was over, Artie and Twilight were officially a couple, they even moved in together! Artie moved in with Twilight and Artie and Spike clicked. Spike had a new love and it was the Marebox 360. They were in harmony. She even taught him how to not be a slob. They woke up and he went to work at Sugar Cube Corner while she studied and read. The few months were really quiet with almost no trouble whatsoever, besides the sideways glances from other people that knew Twilight was way out of Artie's league, but they paid them no mind. They were in love.

Fluttershy and Vido, were in true bliss. They moved in only a month after dating, they had so much in common. Vido had a love for animals and he planned on being a veterinarian, but his father wanted a warrior son. His cutie mark actually displayed his talent of not offense, but defense. But, he learned he was a great adventurer, he found all types of ancient and important artifacts. The only reason why he even tried was because he read the stories of Daring Do and he knew he needed something slightly less violent to do. They were happy and Angel was... well he was coping with the fact that Fluttershy didn't put all of her attention on him.

The couples were in harmony until Princess Celestia summoned them to her castle via Spike, The letter literally asked for Twilight and Vido, but since Artie and Fluttershy were so worried, their mates asked them to tag along. Of course the Mane 4 came for support and when they came, they were greeted by the royal guards. They were then escorted to Princess Celestia and Luna. Luna gave them a nod of appreciation but Princess Celestia actually looked... well she looked mad! They were confused with what they did wrong and then they looked at Artie. Artie bowed and was shivering and trembling.

"What are you doing here?" Celestia boomed in the royal speak, the mane 6 and Vido didn't think the Princess had the royal speak even though she was a royal Princess but she never used that voice before, even when they were attacked by the Changeling Queen.

"Umm..uhh." Artie stammered.

"Uh Princess Celestia, Artie is... my marefriend."

"He's your what?" Princess Celestia asked in her normal voice.

"We met and I honestly like him." Twilight said in a nervous breath. Princess Celestia glared at Artie for another five seconds but it felt like a few hours. At last Princess Celestia finally averted her gaze back to the other mane 7.

"Well, awkward silence aside, I have a mission for you Twilight and you as well Vido." Princess Celestia said.

"What do you have for us Princess?" asked Twilight.

"I want you to go to another universe." Princess Celestia said blatantly. They just stared at her in shock.

"Well, which one Princess?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"The universe that Twilight and Vido only will go on is to our distant sister universe, it is known as the Halo universe and a Pegasus and a unicorn will be there. You are to let them know that their time in the war is over, they have been there for ten years."

"Ten years? That's one long war!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"The war was officially 30 years long, they were only there for the last ten years." Princess Celestia said.

"Why were they there?" Vido asked.

"They were to collect information on the Covenant, I believe that after they beat the humans, who we are working along with, they were going to come after us. So, I sent our best warrior who was also the past leader of the Wonderbolts."

"WHO WHO WHO WHO?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"His name is Blue Lightning" Princess Celestia said.

"We have to go Princess, please?" Rainbow Dash begged.

"Yeah, please Princess?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"It would be nice to go but if you don't want us to I'd completely understand." Fluttershy suggested.

"I'm okay with not going honestly." Rarity said.

"Yea can we plea-" Princess Celestia stared daggers at Artie.

"It shure would be fun just to be in another universe." Applejack said.

"Huh, fine you all may go but," she stared at Artie while saying this. "If you cause any problems with the humans or if you get abducted, don't try coming back. We don't need a war. The humans are a lot more violent than we are."

"Okay." everyone said.

"Well then, off you go and Twilight."

"Yes Princess."

"No all of you, good luck."

"Wait, how would we know where Blue Lightning is?" Twilight asked.

"You'll know trust me." Princess Celestia said. They all walked into this new portal the Princess had opened. They fell through the portal screaming until they landed on some hard ground.

Artie, Vido, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash woke up in full battle armor. They were wearing an army mask and battle armor. It was an army green color which looked awesome to them.

"Hey where is Twilight?" Artie asked.

"I'm right here." Twilight said a little too close.

"Where I don't see you?" Vido, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash finally rose, realizing everyone else was missing too.

"I'm right here!" Twilight yelled and Twilight appeared small and blue on Artie's screen.

"Whoa! what happened to you?"

"YAY WERE AI'S!" Pinkie Pie yelled. She showed up on Apple Jack's screen.

"Gravy!" Applejack yelled as she tripped over.

They were getting everything sorted out until this small alien with a pyramid scrambled over with a gun. He was aiming straight at Rainbow Dash and was getting ready to fire, charging up the gun for a damaging kill, when out of nowhere, someone, or somepony shot him from a mile away on top of a hill. The alien darted off screaming while the not so mysterious pony shot him again.

"Whoa! You must be-"

"Yup the one and only." he took off his gear and showed his face. His mane was long and black and was greying in certain areas. He had blue fur with a toothpick in his teeth.

"Sylvia?"

"Yes Blue?" "Mark that down as the first blood would ya please?"

"Already did." A unicorn appeared on his screen and they realized that was the unicorn Princess Celestia was telling them about.

"So uhh... what are you all doing here?" Blue Lightning asked with a grin.

Chapter 5: Meeting Blue

They stared awestruck at the stallion who just killed this evil...alien thing. Applejack stammered

"Um... hello there um... Mr. Lightning."

"Please, I go by Blue. I would ask you why you're here and all of that but I'm not an idiot. So it's time for me to finally go back to Equestria huh?" He asked.

"Why yes it is Mr. Blue- " Rainbow Dash said.

"Just Blue please."

"Ok..um...Blue let me just say it's a honor to meet you! You were the past leader of the WonderBolts that's so cool! I want to be in the WonderBolts but you know, I haven't gotten their attention yet." Rainbow Dash screeched.

"Wow you're a talker." Blue said with a smile.

"You haven't met Pinkie yet." Applejack said with Pinkie Pie yelling hey in the background.

"I wish you guys didn't come yet. I'm not leaving. I'm sorry." Blue said with a frown.

"WHAT! DONT BE LIKE THAT BRO WE ALMOST DIED AND WE WERE ONLY HERE FOR A FEW SECONDS!" Artie yelled with a fire in his eyes.

"This war... it's not even close to finishing. I have to help them." Blue said while staring at the sky.

"Why do you have to help them, they look like their doing fine if you're here talking to us." Artie yelled.

"I'm done for the day, we had a successful takeover on this planet's alien village. I was on my way back when I saw the little alien there," he pointed at the now dead alien sprawled on the floor. "Sneaking around, so I went along the mountain to get a heads up on what he was trying to do, and I saw you all talking."

"Even if you don't think the war is over, Princess Celestia wont let us come back until you're with us." Artie yelled.

"I don't like you, you're weak. You're two friends aren't complaining, why are you? Blue asked him while looking down at him like he was a king and Artie was a bug he couldn't squash.

"They are mad, they just don't want to upset you, right guys?" Artie turned to see Vido and Applejack whistling and looking in other directions, obviously not trying to look at him.

"Are you guys serious!" Artie yelled.

"Well, it's not like he wants to be here to hang out and have no responsibilities. He's fighting for something important. We can stay here for a while, besides he just said they had a successful raid so there's almost no threat to us. We can go on their ship and stay there until he ultimately feels there is no danger." Vido said.

"He does have a point there Artie, hes fightin' for somethin' important for im, I respect that, I would want my friends to respect my wishes." Applejack said.

"BUT HE'S NOT OUR FRIEND! WE DONT EVEN KNOW HIM!" Artie screamed with a facehoof.

"I'm disappointed with you Artie, I was willing to give you a second chance, you should be willing to give this stallion one chance! You just flat out yelled at him. We are going to stay here until he's comfortable with leaving!" Twilight yelled with Artie looking down in shame.

"The clothing here is just terrible! And violence is not my forte!" Rarity exclaimed.

"What about you Fluttershy and Pinkie, are you guys okay with staying?" Artie asked.

"Fluttershy is burying her head in her hooves, I don't think she's okay with seeing that alien hurt." Vido said.

"I'm okay with staying here, as long as there's parties!" Pinkie yelled.

"There isn't a lot of parties here due to the war but since we have guests I'll be sure to throw one!" Blue yelled.

"Well that makes it six to three," Twilight said with a smile. "Sorry Fluttershy." Twlight said encouragingly.

"I...its...okay." Fluttershy whispered.

"Well lets go!" Blue yelled and he flew down and they started on their way to the village. "Oh, by the way, this here is Sylvia." Blue said as a blue AI showed up on the screen. The blue AI had a violet, blue eye color, it looked much like Rarity but It's mane was a lot longer and black. Her fur was also white which gave her the weird likeness to Rarity.

"Hello all of you, as Blue had told you all. I'm Sylvia. I'm sorry for Blue's personality but being here for so long has made him a lot more brash then he used to be." She spoke with a dignified voice like Princess Celestia, you could tell she was raised in Canterlot. Her voice was very smoothing.

"Hello Sylvia, I'm Twilight Sparkle, the jerk here is Artie, behind him is Vido with Fluttershy, further behind is Rainbow Dash and Rarity." It was obvious Rarity was mad because she wouldn't talk to anyone. "And at the furthest back is Applejack and Pinkie Pie." Everyone said hello except for Rarity who kept her back turned to everyone if she even appeared herself as if to let everyone know she was angry. It finally took Twilight to address her anger by asking her what's wrong.

Rarity turned over with the most angry look she could muster. "I don't want to be here, this place looks like a place that has no fashion sense, I'm this blue thing and blue is an unattractive color when you're all around this green and brown. No offense Blue Lightning."

"It's okay Miss, I'm used to being called unattractive next to green and brown." Blue said as he flashed her a smile. Rarity was going to continue pouting when she saw Sylvia.

"Wow, you're almost as beautiful as me." Rarity said. Sylvia, who took no offense to this, laughed and told her that was a very nice thing to say. Rarity then offered her tips on how to curl her hair and to wear fake eyelashes.

"I would if I wasn't an AI." Sylvia sighed with a small smirk.

"It's okay darling, well fix this when we get back." Rarity said.

"If we get back." Artie muttered until Twilight gave him a glare.

"But, I prefer to study in books and what not."

"Another egghead." Rainbow Dash sighed.

"YOU'RE INTO MAGIC AS WELL?" Twilight gasped with a sparkle in her eyes.

"Yes actually, being here for so long has given me intellect far beyond normal unicorns." Sylvia said.

"I can do the Lighning Rainboom in my sleep." Blue Lightning said with a smirk.

"What's that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It's my spin on the Sonic Rainboom, I launch myself into the air and lightning bursts from the sky and a dark rainbow comes form behind me with a black fire around the site I launched myself from. It's pretty awesome honestly." Blue said.

"I know how to do the Sonic Rainboom!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"You're a pretty cool kid Rainbow." Blue said.

As Rainbow Dash jumped around with joy, Twilight asked Sylvia how has it been on Halo's planet for ten years.

"We've been here for 20 years." Sylvia said.

"WHAT? IT'S ONLY BEEN 10 YEARS ON OUR PLANET." Twilight exclaimed.

"Time is faster in this universe." Blue said.

"That's cool and all but are we there yet?" Artie asked.

"No but we're close. We're going to the ship and find you guys some bunks, since some soldiers have been relocated, it's been a pretty quiet area. I haven't teased a newb for so long." Blue said wistfully. After a few moments of talking and Twilight found out that Sylvia knows pretty much every spell known to ponykind, they found the helicarrier, (what Blue calls it) and they went inside. It was actually full of people but they looked tired, hard, angry, or depressed.

While they walked past, Blue said hello to everyone and they said hey back. The few people that actually looked at him and saw the ponies just shook their head and went back to doing what they were doing. One person even muttered

"These aliens look just like Blue, this must be a new power up they learned." They went to a big room with a huge television and a table full of ticks and tacks everywhere. A guy in the same armor as Blue but with a deep voice was talking to a woman that everyone guessed was their leader. The woman noticed all of the ponies and told the man he could leave. The man walked past Blue and Blue said,

"What up Master Chief, how ya doin boss."

"Not too bad Blue." He walked right past them without saying hello.

"Jerk." Artie said as he watched this Master Chief guy walk past with a swagger.

"He's cool after you almost die beside him like ten times." Blue said as he walked up to the woman on the tv. After a few minutes of talking to her, Blue came back with a grin and said.

"Guess who's living with me until I'm ready?"

"Us?" Artie asked with a frown.

"Yeah. There's enough bunks for you guys plus some. Lets go check out your new room!" Blue said with a grin. But as they walked to the cabins, they heard someone yell.

"SOMETHING"S COMING! STRAP YOURSELVES I-" and a huge hunk of metal flew off the helicarrier and the heli started falling out of the sky.

Chapter 6: Can we go now?

As the heli fell from thousands of miles in the air, Blue threw everyone into the supply closet next to them. He then flew to pick up everyone that was getting ready to fly out. Some people were already gone and he knew there was no way he could save them. He opened the supply closet and stuffed them in.

"What are you planning?" Artie yelled as Blue slammed the door.

"I don't know but you guys will survive... I hope."

"WHAT?" Artie yelled as Blue flew around the heli to look for Master Chief. He looked out the hole and saw the ship that took them down and knew that he had about eight more minutes before they crashed.

He turned and saw Master Chief holding on for dear life on the built-in counter. Blue flew to him and picked him up.

"You're gaining a few Chief."

"You're getting old Blue."

"Touché my old friend, Blue said as he threw Chief into the closet. Blue pulled out an energy sword he found and started slicing the hinge handles.

"Uh... Blue I know I'm not the smarterest person here but, I think you should be trying to get us out, not try to show some type of art. And Vido, why cant you just teleport us out?"

Vido said quietly, "I wish I could but I cant even teleport myself anymore without getting tired and getting this stinging pain in my eye."

"Why you're eye? Fluttershy asked and Vido just shrugged his shoulders.

While Fluttershy was asking Vido about everything that could've caused the pain and when it happened, Blue saw the plasma grenade come onto the ship right next to him. He dove into the supply closet and told everyone to hold on tight. Artie couldn't even ask why when the plasma grenade went off, tearing off the rest of the supply closet from the ship and sending them flying into the open air.  Vido was busy trying to make a spell and Blue and Rainbow Dash held on to the closet which was a hard thing to do.

"OHMYGOD WE'RE GOING TO DIE! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING!" Artie wailed.

"You met me." Twilight Sparkle said earnestly.

"THAT DOESN'T COUNT!"

"Oh really huh? Okay." Twilight said as she disappeared from the monitor.

"Oh crap." Artie said under his breath. The tree branches were hitting Blue and Rainbow everywhere, they almost gave up hope when they saw the floor beneath them.

"I guess this is the end." Pinkie Pie said with tears going down her face.

"I'm going to miss you guys. Applejack said with a tearful grin.

"I'll miss you girls too." Twilight quickly said before she disappeared again leaving Artie begging her to forgive him.

"I love you girls. All of you." Fluttershy said as she looked at Vido.

"You guys are too sappy for me." Master Chief said as he jumped out of the closet and landed with no problem.

"I hate that guy." Rainbow Dash said angrily.

"No...no we're not going to end like this. Vido closed his eyes and reopened with his eyes glowing red. The supply closet was surrounded with a red bubble and they teleported to safety. Everyone landed on the forest floor dazed and confused. They looked up and noticed that they were only a couple seconds from death as they saw the closet crash down a few feet away, spreading debris everywhere.

"Those were some tall trees, I thought we should've been fallen. Artie said. Everyone jumped on top of each other giving each other hugs and crying from joy.

They were all congratulating Vido and asking him how'd he do it. Twilight was astounded, thinking that she was the only pony that could do that. Sylvia popped up and said.

"Vido, you just used some of your awakening magic."

"What's that?" Everyone asked.

"All unicorns have great potential in magic. It doesn't matter who you are or were. Star Swirl was very lazy until he grew into his adult years because he opened awakening. They say he was the last stallion or pony to ever awaken his magic. But you, you tapped into it. You could awaken it if you tried."

"How long do you think that would take?" Vido asked.

"I'm not sure, it took Star Swirl thirty years. but only if you study hard."

"THIRTY YEARS!"

"Yeah, I believe it would be that fast, what'd you think it'd be longer?"

"NO SHORTER!" Vido yelled.

"Hahahaha. You're funny. You cant be a great wizard in ten or twenty years. We're not in touch with magic like we used to. The element of magic was long forgotten and it was only reawakened with Twilight. They were going to finish arguing until they saw the ship they were in completely explode from all of the plasma grenades.

"Back to business." Blue said with a sigh. Master Chief walked to Blue while Sylvia was talking to Vido and was formulating a plan.

"Cortana, how many aliens are there?"

"16 all together. Two are in the Wraith, 5 are in ghosts, and the rest are just walking around and waiting on us I presume."

"Let's not keep them waiting." Master Chief said as he ran to the open field where the aliens were.

"He never waits. I want you guys to wait here and hide until we're done with them." Blue said with a grin.

"I'm okay with staying are you Twi?" Artie asked only to get no answer.

"No, let us come and help. You'd do the same for us!" Rainbow Dash said.

"No Rainbow, this is their fight, well let them do what they have ter do. Blue said the thing that attacked us is the easiest things to erm, get rid of, but we were scarred and scared. Besides we can use this time to find out how to get home." Applejack said with a kind look in her eyes.

"AND WE CAN THROW A PARTY ON OUR WAY BACK!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

"Yea, sure, fine." Rainbow Dash said as she sat down, crossing her arms in frustration. Blue shrugged his shoulders and left to join the battle while everyone else figured out a way to go home.

Chapter 7.1: The Battle that turns the Tide

This story will be in Blue's point of view so the mane 6 and Artie + Vido won't be seen or heard until the next chapter. Enjoy!

Blue flew to the open grassy clearing. The field was ginormous and to say that is an insult. There was mostly plains and a few flower patched and it would've been beautiful if there wasn't a giant war going on. Some crew members that weren't in the ship must've tracked their location and were having an all out battle royale with the aliens. Master Chief was of course in the front lines, listening to no one as he took out waves of aliens who were either running, hiding, or facing their deaths like heroes and charging at him, only to get punched by the butt end of Chief's gun.

The rest of the human crew weren't so lucky as Chief. The smart aliens stayed away from Chief and shot at the crew. The giant aliens that Blue had used to run away from were charging the crew and would punch them across the field.

"God I'm tired." Blue said under his breath as he looked down.

"What's wrong?" Sylvia asked.

"I think I am gonna take those kids on their offer to leave as soon as possible. This war is tiring me, I'm getting sad just thinking about all of this. Our universe shouldn't have to go through what I went through at all, I wouldn't even wish this on the worst of my enemies... okay maybe only on some of my enemies." Blue sighed.

"I'm with you. Being here for so long I have the knowledge of an AI system. But I miss being hungry, sad, tired, angry." Sylvia said with a small smile.

"When we get back, do you want to buy that house in Ponyville that was abandoned? We can fix it up and live there like we said we would when we were little." Blue offered.

Sylvia pondered it for a minute then said, "That would be perfect."

"Okay it's settled! LET"S GO!" Blue yelled as he pulled out his assault rifle and charged forward.

"Don't get us killed before we even get back home!" Sylvia yelled as Blue charged into battle.

He had the energy sword strapped to his hoof so when he wasn't shooting, he was hacking away at the aliens. He flew right toward the biggest alien and hacked at his armor, making it fall off into small pieces. He then stabbed him and lifted him off the ground.

"Hey buddy, you don't look so alright there." Blue whispered to the alien as the alien choked out blood and gurgled something before Blue threw him to the floor. Blue then grabbed a small alien and held him as a hostage while he shot everyone else off. There were broken rock piles, pillars, and bodies everywhere so Blue easily had some cover.

When the crew saw how a stallion and Master Chief was taking on this whole army, that gave them the morale to charge through. The battle was doing pretty good until a giant dropship came. It released some spider like arms and attached itself to the ground. It was huge and purple with a glossy look. The side had about six turrets with aliens clearly running around for who knows why. The middle was its weak point obviously because the power core was clearly visible but it was too far up to shoot at.

"How are we going to get up there?" Master Chief asked Blue. At that moment a Ghost (a small, quick and agile gravity effected vehicle that could be used to fly up into the hull of the ship) came flying past Chief. The alien onboard was yelling some kamikaze nonsense that no one could understand, but when it flew past Master Chief, he held out his arm and knocked the alien off the ghost.

Leaving the alien writhing in pain and holding onto his neck for dear life, the two heroes flew up to the hull and Master Chief jumped on board.

"You ready?" Blue asked as Master Chief pulled out his assault rifle.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Chief said as he ran forward.

Amazingly, almost no alien was in their way. only a few came but when they saw them, they turned away like they saw nothing and the two heroes just walked past trying to get the job done. When they got to the power core, they were amazed that no resistance was there.

"This is too easy, it's almost disrespectful." Blue said as he trotted forward.

"No, DON'T!" Chief pulled Blue's tail and Blue flew back.

"Ouch, what was that for?" Blue yelled as he straightened his tail.

"You don't notice anything weird?" Master Chief said.

"No, what, are you talking about my tail? It has gotten too long hasn't it, I knew I should've shaved!" Blue cried as he facehooved himself.

"No, you're tail is perfect, remember how there was so many aliens running around the power core and now there's no one here?"

"...My tail is perfect?"

"Stay on track Blue, something isn't right." Master Chief pulled out a grenade and threw it with its cap still on. It rolled around and a laser beam sliced it clean in half.

"Wow." Blue said.

"Yeah, that could've been you."

"No not that! The grenade didn't explode."

"Stay on track Blue, we gotta find someone to figure out the code to turn this beam off."

As Master Chief said that, the whole ship rocked. Blue and Chief looked outside to see the ship they were on was shooting a laser beam all across the field. Vaporizing humans and aliens alike with no problem.

"Oh no." Blue said as Chief stopped looking.

"We need to find someone!" Master Chief yelled.

At that same time, the same alien they saw earlier with the other two aliens walked past them whistling a tune to himself. He was wearing a white lab coat and was pretty content with himself until it saw Master Chief and Blue staring at him. It thought that since they ignored it last time, it thought it could do it again. But, this time he was by himself so he ended up speed walking. Blue flew ahead and landed in front of him growling. The alien turned around getting ready to sprint until it looked up and saw Master Chief looking at him and he punched the alien in the face.

"Did you really have to knock him out? Blue asked as the carried him to the room.

"Did you really have to scare him to make him run away?" Chief said as they dropped him off to the floor.

"Yes...yes I did." Blue said with a smile.

The alien was stirring awake. Master Chief obviously didn't punch him hard enough because not only did he wake up sooner then they thought but he was alive. It started yelling at them and Blue put his hoof over the alien's mouth.

"DO...NOT...SPEAK...WE...JUST...WANT...TO...OPEN...THINGIE...AND...BLOW...IT...UP...TO...SAVE...EVERYONE." Blue yelled slowly, hoping the alien could understand him.

"Don't tell him that, he probably wont even help us now." Chief said.

"He probably didn't even understand me." Blue said with a shrug.

"I did, and I don't approve of you two trying to blow up my generator." the alien said as it took out it's glasses from its lab coat.

"The alien speaks human! And not just human, it speaks English!" Blue yelled.

"I studied your language for a week and if I lived on your planet, I'd be a language professor and scholar. Your language is so simple. Our rejected idiots would figure it out within a month!" The alien said.

"Oh great, not only is a douche and we need it's help, but it is a smart douche." Blue yelled.

"What's your name?" Master Chief asked.

"Norenovgolten. But, you can call me Noire."

"Hello Noire. I'm Blue and the brooding armor bound bad boy is Master Chief." Blue said.

"Not a pleasure, now what do you want?" Noire asked.

"We would like... you to destroy the beam that doesn't let anyone-" Blue was cut off buy another wave of a laser beam that was getting more and more worse by the minute.

"Why should I help you two. In case you forgot, One of you scared me and the other knocked me out." Noire said.

"Well, we could kill you and just plasma grenade this place." Blue said.

"Wouldn't work. The only way you can even hurt this ship is by me and by hurting the power core." Noire said with a smile.

"Fine then, Master Chief, give Noire here a universal purple nurple. Then, break his glasses." Blue said as Master Chief stood up to deliver Noire to pain.

"OKAY OKAY! NO MORE PURPLE NURPLE"S MOMMY!" Noire yelled.

"What?" Blue asked.

"Nothing, forget it." Noire said as he scampered to the control panel. After a couple of minutes of clicking and laser beams going off outside, Noire exclaimed he had finished. So Master Chief threw a grenade in the laser beam field again for nothing to happen.

"Good work, thanks." Chief said as he pushed everyone out of his way.

"No problem." Noire said as he blushed.

Blue and Chief looked at this giant looking plasma grenade and pulled out their guns. They fired at it and after five minutes of just shooting. The plasma grenade turned red and started growing and shrinking.

"It's gonna blow!" Noire yelled.

Master Chief and Blue only saw the open shaft in front of them with no soft landing. Master Chief grabbed Noire and jumped while Blue flew down. Blue held on to Chief's waist while Chief was holding Noire like a football. Blue propelled Master Chief down and let him go with both of them rolling. When they got up the saw aliens jumping out from all over the place and they saw the ship explode. Sending chunks everywhere. Some of the chunks even scattered into the forests.

Blue thought about his friends and hoped they were okay. Noire was cursing and screaming until Chief let him go. Noire looked around and giggled.

"It feels good to do something good!" Noire yelled.

"You actually mean it feels good to be alive." Blue said as he smiled.

"Okay, maybe that too." Noire said.

Blue actually looked around and saw that a lot of people were dead. bodies were everywhere, from aliens to humans. Blue looked into the forest and saw some crew members limping to them.

"We knew you two were okay Sarge!" One crew member exclaimed. They all looked at Noire but decided against shooting him.

Blue was extremely happy but he finally realized he was ready to go home.

"Chief, I gotta tell you something-"

"Go Blue. Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself." Master Chief said as he gave Blue a thumbs up.

Blue was getting teary eyed. "I'll miss you bro." "You saved my life once too many times. If you ever come visit, I'll show you some really tasty hay fries."

"Can't wait." Chief said with what Blue guessed was a laugh.

"Don't be surprised if I come back with a son named Chief." Blue said a she started walking away from waving hands.

"Don't be surprised if you come back and you see my son named Lightning." Chief said.

Everyone was waving. Some were even teary eyed. Noire for some odd reason since he only knew Blue and Chief for ten minutes was sobbing green tears.

"I'll miss you too Noire." Blue said.

"I...I'll... I LOVE YOU BLUE!" Noire yelled.

"And that's my cue to leave." And with that, Blue flew off.

Blue flew with a new purpose. He was sad yet happy about leaving. He started doing spirals and stunts he hadn't done in years. He finally landed to see the portal open and everyone going in.

"You ready yet? Artie asked as Blue stood with them.

"Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready to go back home." Blue said with tears in his eyes. Sylvia showed up on the screen with a grin. It was an honest grin that made her eyes shine.

"I am too." They stepped into the portal with a new hope. And with new adventures awaiting.

7.2 They guess on a way back home

Artie was distraught. He stared at trees and pictured himself anywhere but the crapper planet he was in now. He had those sullen thoughts while everyone planned on a way back home. Every idea was quickly shot down by Twilight, who knew the problems and holes in each plan. Fluttershy thought she could talk to some animals and see if they knew anyone that might know how to open portals. That idea itself had holes in it. Rainbow Dash thought she could do a sonic rainboom so powerful, she could blast into another dimension. Twilight reminded her about the last time she went into another portal because of using sonic rainboom and the traumatic experience she had with three little girls with weird powers! Pinkie Pie thought they should live here and throw parties with no one agreeing to.

Applejack was throwing in helpful ideas but it seemed none of them would work. Rarity was too busy fussing on how everyone looked to throw in ideas. Vido was quiet looking at the butterflies or just keeping his head down. Artie was scoffing whenever he was paying attention which he hardly ever would. Twilight was about to yell from frustration until Pimkie Pie had an idea.

"Why don't we just ask Princess Celestia to bring us back? She has to be watching us, otherwise she wouldn't had just left us without a way to contact her. She is probably giggling at us over here fussing at how we cant even realize that she's watching us!" Everyone that was frowning was now smiling, even Artie had a gleam in his eye.

"You...you mean we can leave right now?" Artie asked.

"Well...no, remember we have to bring Blue and Sylvia back right? Besides, Princess Celestia would've at least told us that she would be listening." Twilight said, leaving everyone with their head down.

"I mean we don't really need to wait for them. We could just go back, freshen up a bit, eat something, wait a few years, get a change of clothes, bring some extra supplies-"

"Wait, wait, wait. Did you just say wait a few years until we go back for Blue? I am very disappointed in you Artie! I would think you were a lot kinder then that. My goodness you are such a hypocrite! Twilight yelled.

"Now how am I a hypocrite?" Artie asked with a nervous glance at his friends who were eagerly awaiting Twilight's response.

"Whenever we go somewhere or at least get ready to go somewhere, you take at least thirty minutes just to get ready! I take at the most twenty! But you don't ever hear me complain! I just wait patiently. You should do the same!" Twilight yelled with everypony smirking and giggling.

"You cant rush perfection honey!" Artie scoffed.

"Perfection?! That pimple on your face is perfection?! I saw you talking to it a week ago in the mirror!"

"UGH...HOW...DARE...UGH!" Artie complained, covering his face. Applejack cut their argument short with pointing out the ginormous machine landing down in the open field.

"Wow, do yer think Blue needs our help?" Applejack asked.

"Of course not Applejack! Blue is with Master Chief! They could take down a world if they had to!" Rainbow Dash said with a gleam in her eye.

"Enough about Blue Chief and Master Lightning, we need to get out of here pronto!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Wait... wait one second. I bet all we have to do is ask Princess Celestia and she'll let us out!" Twilight yelled.

"Twilight that's... genius why didn't anyone else think of that?" Artie asked.

"That seems... very...likely." Fluttershy said. Everypony was murmuring in agreement while Pinkie Pie yelled hey until Artie said,

"Okay I'll try. PRINCESS CELESTIA WE WOULD ALL LOVE TO GET BACK HOME. BLUE IS ON HIS WAY AND WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PORTAL OPEN." Artie exclaimed while bowing.

Nothing happened except for a purple and black leaf that twirled in the breeze. After a couple of minutes they realized that either nopony was listening, or Artie didn't say the right things.

"I'll give it a try." Twilight said. She bowed down in her AI form and said cautiously. "Dear Princess Celestia. I have to ask you for an opening to our world. Blue Lightning is currently fighting an explosive battle that he will no doubt come back from, but we would like an opening to the portal for the sake of knowing you're listening to us. I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you." Unlike the last time, a BLUE and purple leaf flew past through the breeze. But then suddenly, a portal opened.

"Oh yeah I forgot the Princess hates me." Artie murmured. They all started walking in and they soon saw Blue charge in behind them. They all stumbled and fell their way through the portal back to Equestria. Leaving the Halo universe behind them to never come back.
