"Shipmaster! I have important information for you!"

"What is it Saké?"

"We have intercepted a Spartan distress signal."

"And what is so important about that? We intercept those all the time."

"It came from the Celestial Plains, sir."

"What?! We have searched that area before, but couldn't get through because of a Forerunner shield. How did a Spartan get there?!"

"We do not fully know, shipmaster. With your word, we would like to send phantoms to see if a smaller vessel can get through."

"Only send two. If this shield destroys anything that comes in contact with it, I don't want our losses to be heavy."

"Yes, shipmaster."

Six awoke to the sound of birds and sunlight hitting his face. Today was beautiful. Six rubbed his neck, as a little prick of pain went threw it. 'I haven't slept like that in ages.' he thought. Six looked around the room. He never looked last night, just the bed. Plus, the sunlight was making it easier. 'Wow, high class for their advancement in technology.' A walk in closet, master bath attached, make-up stand, (which he was NOT going to use), piano, guitar....

"A guitar?" Six thought, outloud. He hadn't seen a guitar in ages. Could ponies play this? He walked up to it. It was acoustic. "Weelll...... I don't think they'll mind if I pick at it...." he hadn't played in years. Six picked it up and strummed, and it was beautifully in tune. He continued picking at it, until he started strumming the chords to one of his favorite song he knew by heart.

I was walking down the street when out of the corner of my eye

Saw a pretty little thing approaching me.

Six was loving this place! If there wasn't a war on Reach, he would consider staying here.

She said 'I've never seen a man who looks all alone.

Could you use some company?

He was now on the balcony, effectively singing to Canterlot.

If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice,

And you can go and send me on my way.

He was so wrapped in the song, he didn't even hear the door open.

I said your such a sweet young thing, why do you do this to yourself?

She looked at me and this is what she said.

The figure slowly crept behind Six, trying so hard not to alert him.

Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees.

I've got bills to pay, mouths to feed.

There ain't nothing in this world for free.

I know I can't slow down,

I can't hold back,

Though you know, I wish I could.

No there ain't no rest for the wicked,

Until we close our eyes for good".

"You have a beautiful voice." Six heard some one say, and he whipped around so fast, he almost smacked Luna across the muzzle with the guitar.

"Shit! Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"Noted. Did you sleep well?"

"Very well. You didn't have to give me a room."

"Yes, but my sister wants to keep an eye on you. She thinks..."

"She thinks I'm on your side, but she doesn't want me to kill a bunch of ponies. A guard gave me the same speech."

"Very well. My sister thinks she found a solution to getting you back, and will discuss it with you over breakfast. I came to get you."

"Alright. Let us depart."

(At breakfast)

"I must thank you for the room, Celestia. That was not necessary."

"It was my pleasure. Assume it was part of your reward for saving Canterlot. So let's get to business. I assume Luna has bright you up to speed about getting you home?"

"All I know is you may have a way of getting me back to Reach."

"Right, about that, I found in the archives a book that told of a portal to other worlds, none specific. Yet it does describe in almost perfect detail where the portal is, however that causes another problem."

"There always seems to be a catch.... What's the problem?"

"It's in Griffin territory." All the ponies looked down, like they were ashamed of the thought.

"What is the problem with that?"

"We're.... at war...." Luna said. Six had to hold a laugh. These lovable, colorful ponies were at war, with their low tech, and were not dead or enslaved.

"So... what do we do?" Twilight inquired.

"We will have to hope he will be reasonable. Maybe he will understand..."

"I've got a plan." Six interjected. "But you will need to keep a straight face through it." They all nodded, itching to here his plan. "Ok, so we go to their capital...."

(At the Griffin capital)

"My liege, Celestia has arrived."

"Good, send her in."

(A few moments later.)

"Ah, Celestia. Have you come begging for mercy?"

"I've come to make a deal, Rarák."

"What is this 'deal'? What could you give me that I couldn't possibly take?"

"Please, here me out. I would like you to remove your troops from my land and s-surrender your eastern t-territory."

"And what would I receive?"

"N-n-nothing."

"What?! Is this a joke?! Do you think I am a fool Celestia?!"

"Please take it Rarák. Don't make me use.... plan b."

"What could your 'plan b' possibly be?! I assure you that what ever it is, my sold-" King Rarák was silenced with the screams of his citizens. He ran towards the balcony and looked out, only to be greeted by the sight of his citizens running in fear, buildings collapsing, and a seven-foot tall, steel colored monster causing the destruction. "What is that thing?!"

"Plan...B" Rarák stared at Celestia in shock.

"Are you saying that monster is with you?!"

"Yes. Please take my offer, and it will stop."

"No! Guards! Keep Celestia here. If she tries anything, stop her, but do not kill her. When I destroy that thing, I will come back for your head Celestia!" Rarák then flew off to kill the monster.

Six had just received confirmation from Celestia that Rarák wasn't going for the deal.

"Please don't kill anyone." Celestia said to him, telepathically.

"Celestia said its a go, Twilight." Six said, looking down at the purple unicorn.

"We'll be here if you need help."

"Thanks, but I won't need it." Six walked towards the city gates. He was going to terrorize the town. It was all part of the plan. Walking, he pulled out his energy sword. He wasn't planning on killing anyone but the king.

Six walked up to the front gates. A lone guard was standing watch.

"You there, halt!" the guard yelled at Six. When Six didn't stop moving, the guard removed his sword from its sheath. "I said halt, creature!" Again, Six wasn't listening. In fact, about a thousand ideas of how to kill this griffon went threw his head. Six decided a simple slash should work, and it did. The griffon fell with a soft thud, as a poof of dust came beneath his body.

As Six walked into the city, he instantly felt the eyes fall upon him. He could even hear whispers among the griffons. Six looked around to see where he should start his terrorizing. Six saw a building that had two main support beams on the outside. He stood by it, just staring. He wanted to see if any griffon was brave enough to question him. After about a minute, Six decided no one would come forward.

"Looks like I'm gonna have to start this party myself....." Six sighed in sanghillian. He wasn't going to use English so there would be more fear.

Six raised his hand, sword still in it. He literally felt the oxygen leave as all the griffons gasped. Six brought his hand down, striking both columns and cutting them in half. It took a few moments, but the cuts finally showed, as the building started sliding. Shrieks and gasps came from every where, as the Spartan just stood there, the debris falling around him.

He continued walking, striking every building he saw along his path, knocking every civilian that got in his way out. He started yelling threats in sanghillian, causing more panic. Six came up to a monument of, or who he assumed, was king.

He struck it down with one blow, yelling "You shall fall!" in sanghillian. As the dust settled from the monument collapsing, Six saw a heavily armored griffon appear in front of him, rushing with swords drawn. Six evaded, rolling to the right, and almost ran into the crowd that was quickly forming.

The beast turned, roaring at him, blood lust showing in its eyes.

"How dare you ravage my city!" It rushed Six again, but Six slid under its feet, not wanting to repeat his same evade, as this creature seemed to know alot more about battle than the ponies. The 'assumed' king turned back around, yelling in frustration.

"What is your business here!?" The king demanded. Six dropped the sanghillian.

"Basically, insurance."

"Insurance for what?!"

"Celestia's demands."

The beast's eyes flourished with anger as Six finished his sentence. Again, he recklessly charged. Six shook his head in disappointment. Yes, this creature may know more about battle, but was still stupid. When he got close, Six side-stepped to the right and countered, smashing his fist into the side of the beasts head. With the force of the impact, the king hit the ground, bounced, and fell again, creating two small craters. The king came to his feet, staring at Six in surprise.

'So much force from a punch?!' the griffon thought. "Who are you?!"

Six smiled as a thought came to his mind. If the king was going to die soon, why not have some fun?

"My name is Six, knight of the wind." (:P you know what this is for.) If this was a medieval era place, that title should make things more interesting.

"A knight...." the king.

"Yes, and I challenge you to hand to hand combat." Laughed were heard from every where.

"You.... you honestly think you can defeat me?!" the king said, in between laughter.

"If you think I can't, what do you have to fear? In fact let us make a wager..." Six now had the griffon's full attention. "If I win, the kingdom gives into Celestia's demands. Yet if you win...... you get Equestria." Six heard six familiar gasped behind him.

"Six, you can't do that!"

"Oh, dear......"

"What in tarnation are ya thinkin', partner?!"

"The hell is wrong with you, Six?!"

"OOOooohhh, fight!"

"Um... Six? Could you not do that? If that's okay?"

"It's all right girls, I got this." Six turned to the six ponies. "Trust me." A long silence went through them. Then they all nodded.

"We trust you." they all said, together.

"Good." Six turned back to the king. "Deal?" The king smiled evilly.

"Deal."

They each took positions at the corners of the group that had surrounded them. Six put his sword away, and pulled both his knifes out. He wasn't going to just kill the griffon, he was going to make a statement. At high noon, they would begin.

After a few minutes, the clock tower struck twelve times. Both fighters moved from their corners, but took different approaches to the fight. The king rushed, again. Side-stepping, Six disarmed the King's left arm, and cut a long line along it. Appearing not even phased, the king turned and swept for the Spartan's feet. Jumping, Six landed on the sword, pulling it from the griffon's grip, and round-housed the king in the face. After sliding a few feet, the king gained his footing, well as most as he could, for its left arm was bending backwards from Six's disarm. He stood, apparently waiting for the Spartan to move. Six happily obliged.

As Six ran towards the king, it reared on its back legs......, but that was a bad idea. Sliding, Six jabbed his security knife into the griffon's left side, and Six pulled towards himself. Effectively, Six had just cut the king in half. It screamed in pain, as the squishing sound of guts hitting the sand mixed with his screams. The king fell, but wasn't dead.

"P-p-please........end it." he moaned, about to lose conciseness.

"Gladly." Six grabbed the griffon's arms, and moved them towards its back. Then, as hard as he could, Six slammed his foot onto its back, while pulling his arms. More screams of pain came from the griffon, as Six soon heard a cracking of bones, then ripping of muscle, as the Spartan pulled the King's arms from their sockets. But he was not done. No, not by along shot. Rearing back from the sudden release, Six brought all his weight onto his foot, severing the King's chest from his torso. Only crunching of bone could be heard, but Six realized that he was still breathing. Reaching inside the King's chest, Six grabbed the still beating heart, and ripped it out.

"Fatality...."

Well....... that was fantastic. What did you think?

(Sorry about the difference in update. More important things have pre occupied my face, but with them done, I will focus more on this.)
