Colonel Spartan Murphy -422
Murphy’s POV
“Die you covie bastards!”
I yelled as I fired round after round from my MA5 straight into the heads of my enemy. There were currently two squads of Covenant in front of me all adding up to Eight Grunts and Four Elites. I only had about 4 marines alongside me. Oh, did I mention that I was a Spartan IV?
I volunteered for the Spartan IV project because I wanted an advantage to get back at what the Covenant stole from me, that being everything I held dear. My parents died during the fall of Reach while being evacuated in New Alexandria I along with my brother and sister got out fine. I will never forget my parents faces when they realised their fate. My brother was an ODST and died during one of the Battles Of Earth in a city west of New Mombasa. My sister was a pilot and even had her own Pelican she always flew, Echo 487 - Angels Wings. I’m not prepared to die yet until I see an entire Covenant armada burn to the ground.
“Davidson get back!”
I yelled as a plasma grenade was lobbed in the air towards where Davidson was taking cover.
“Arrrgghh!”
Davidson didn’t make it out in time, his whole arm was blown off from the plasma grenade leaving him on the ground.
“DAVIDSON!” I screamed
“Fall back I repeat, fall back!”
I said on the comms. Several blinking lights on my radar confirmed their response as an “Affirmative”. I heard two more screams of agony and saw two more of my comrades fall to the ground, Scorch marks from plasma rounds all over their body. “Crap!” I called priming a Frag Grenade. “Fire in the hole!” I said over the comms *BOOM* 3 Grunts down followed by an Elites shields blown. Good. I started hammering the Elite with my Assault Rifle and he was dead within seconds. Moving back further with my team further behind me I kept suppressing fire on the Covenant. Until I heard even more screams behind me. “Sunderland! Goddamn it!” I cursed I saw him fall with several of those sharp pink needles lodged in his arms, torso and legs followed by a supercombine explosion, ripping him apart. “Sir Covie reinforcements coming in! We’re outnumbered!” Peters said with a worried tone. “We’ll get through this!” I replied “Just keep suppressing fire! Evac will be here in about 8 minutes!”
For the next five minutes more and more covie bodies were piling up at the end of the corridor. Then more started showing up and about four Suicidal Grunts started sprinting down the corridor, Armed plasma grenades in both hands. “Shit! their going Kamekaze!” Yelled Peters.
“Shoot them before they get close!” I said. we managed to shoot two of them down before the other two got too close for comfort and set off the grenades *BOOM!* Peters and I were launched all the way back across the room my shields were without a doubt depleted. Peters died from the explosion as well as an impact with the back wall a couple meters back from where we just were. I got up and quickly brushed off the impact then found some cover behind some crates. ‘Damn my whole team’s dead…’I looked up towards the other end of the corridor ‘And it doesn’t look like I can kill em’ all...’ I ran through an open door away from the Covenant leading upstairs into a Weapons Cache full of explosives and such. ‘Perfect way to go’ I thought with a smile.
I set up all the explosives so they were all scattered around the room but more so around the door in front of me as I sat waiting for them. I remembered all the years of running from the Covenant. From watching my parents die from their cold hands on Reach to evacuating whole cities and towns on Earth.
Yayap’s POV
“You! Yayap! Open this door.” Commander Mortumee instructed me.
“Yes sir!” I replied getting the necessary tools to do so. This human will regret killing my friends now!
Murphy’s POV
I watched as the door was being ‘Cut’ open with a blowtorch or something like that and after about two minutes the door blew open and the battle commenced. But not for long. I was already waiting here with a switch in my hands ready to blow these bastards along with me to kingdom come!
“Surprise you covenant scum!” I yelled with my voice full of hatred. I saw the Grunts faces and even the Elites suddenly drop and realise what situation they were in. Kind of reminds me of what happened when my Parents were in a situation similar to this doesn’t it? Karma’s a bitch isn’t it Covenant?
I pressed the button and all I saw was white.
Transmission from Orbit around Installation 06: All Covenant forces in the perimeter have been neutralised, But not without loss. The research facility was lost along with most of the brave men and women who fought the Covenant on it. We managed to recover some of the valuable data onboard - but not all of it. The soldier I previously recommended for a promotion to the rank General has… I rescind and redact that portion of my earlier report. That soldier is officially Killed In Action, Lost during heavy combat on Installation 06’s Research Facility. He demonstrated honourable conduct throughout his service and for that we will never forget him.

Murphy’s POV
I woke up to an annoying dose of sunshine in my eyes even through my black visor. Wait. Sunshine? I can hear birds? I looked at my surroundings ‘I’m in a forest? I thought I was dead!’ I decided to get up only to fall down on my back again ‘Okay let’s try sitting up’ I never realised that would be the biggest mistake of my life well, second before hitting on my commander’s girlfriend, Let me tell you she was not happy. I couldn’t sit right for at least a week after all, She was a Spartan as well.
When I looked down at my body I thought I’d see normal arms and legs and all that but no I see some other appendages I can’t even name! “AHH!” I screamed jumping and standing upright “What the-?” I said shocked at my new body. And can you guess how I reacted to all this? Yes, I freaked out. “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME?!” I said running in circles. After a little while I calmed down “I need some fresh air” I said as I ripped off my helmet and tossed it aside. Wait, My armor is still on it looks like it changed shape… “How did it…*Sigh* Forget it I’ll just throw all logic out the window for now then.” My armor was the ‘Pathfinder class’ set except for the helmet which was the ODST style helmet. After a little while I went to pick up my helmet and looked at my face on the Visor. I saw a technicolour pony face staring back at me.
What the fuck?
Hi everypony! Glad to see some people are reading my story! I don’t have much to say and I hope you will like this story and keep on reading! So with that said, Lets go on with the story!

Huskie Scouting Team
Huskie Teams Commander: Huskie One POV
“This is Huskie One, Come in Huskie Actual!” I said “Go ahead Huskie One” She replied. “We found a room littered with covvie dead bodies and burn marks everywhere. I think someone detonated a whole lot of explosives here.” I explained “And what’s your point Commander?” She deadpanned “Didn’t that Spartan go dark when a massive explosion shook the whole base?” I asked “Yes that did happen, Is his body there?” She asked “We’ll check now, I’ll radio in if we find something. Huskie One out.” I turned to my team “Alright boys! Looks like we're going for a search for Murphy’s body.” I ordered “But sir, what does that have to do with collecting the remaining data after the Covenant attacked the base?” Huskie Three asked “He was one of our most valuable assets, We can’t say for certain if he’s dead until we find a body now can we?” I replied “I guess that makes sense” Huskie Three replied. “Then get to it soilder!” I yelled.

Colonel Spartan Murphy - 422
Murphy’s POV
“Alright, I’ve gotten the hang of walking, running and jumping over obstacles like all these fallen trees!’ I thought while jumping over more of these damn trees ‘What the hell made these things fall anyway?’ I wondered. I heard growling from behind me and I responded quickly spinning around and facing…. Just a bush. ‘This damn forest must be getting to me’ I carried on walking getting more and more nervous with each step… ‘Somethings watching me… I can’t see anything near me on the damn motion tracker though.’ I thought starting to get more suspicious at the bushes shuffling behind me. I’m pretty sure there is something in there. I turn around to check my back again, then walk backwards into something…Big. I turn to be met with a huge brown belly of a… I looked up towards this things face to reveal.
A big, hungry-looking Bear.
“Oh Sh-” Was all I managed to say before the bear let out an ear piercing growl at me. I jumped back a couple metres and reached for my MA5… Only to find it not there. ‘Shit is my… Nope Magnum’s not there either! Damn it!’ I cursed in my head as I had nothing but my 20 Centimetre Standard-Issue Combat Knife. Well, I’m screwed. But I won’t go down without a fight! Come to think of it, I haven’t seen a bear since I was just a kid going for a walk in the bush all those years ago with my Dad when I was a kid… Before he died. ‘No! Get out of my head! I can’t go remembering those horrible memories.’ I mentally cursed and took out my Combat Knife in my mouth. ‘Not the best time to be… Whatever I am and not be able to use a knife!’ The bear roared a very loud roar and charged towards me. Not the best technique as I just jumped up and on his head grabbing on and hanging off his back. The bear looked surprised that I could jump so high, Not much of a surprise to me since I am still a Spartan. I was about to stab into the bears neck as the bear kicked me off his back and then turned to face me, Ready to kill. He was about to charge until we both heard a quiet but still noticeable cry to stop.
A butterscotch yellow figure that had a face similar to my one except more… Feminine she rushed to the bear and began… Talking to it? ‘What the hell? What is she doing?’ She turned as the bear looked towards me both of them meeting me sitting there watching everything through my helmet’s visor. The yellow and pink haired and tail…Thing walked towards me “Umm H-Hello. A-Are you okay?” She said to me looking like she wanted to do a mixture of running away and hiding and ‘Helping me’. “U-Uh yes I am” I said getting to my feet ‘Wait, This horse-like creature can talk?’ I noticed a pair of wings on her sides ‘Wings too? Wait. I’ve seen something like this before they were called… Pegi.. no wait Pego… Ah! Pegasus that’s right!’ I remembered from my childhood I used to read books and stuff that had equine creatures with wings called Pegasi.
“What are you wearing? If you don’t mind me asking…” My eyes widened behind my visor. ‘Crap! I can’t really tell her that I died and came here somehow can I? She’ll think I’m insane!’ I mentally cursed “I-I-I Uhh’ I stuttered “Pardon?” She said trying to listen. “I uhh made it! Yeah I made this armor and I was testing it in this forest to see if it was strong against any wildlife.” “Oh that sounds nice?” She said to me “Do you know the way out? I kinda got lost in here.” I lied. “Yes I do follow me” She motioned behind her.
About ten minutes later it started to get a little darker “Looks like the sun is going down.” I said “Yes it looks like its about five o’clock by now.” ‘Wow did she read the time from the sun? Wow! Well better hope she is right, I’m gonna put that on my mission clock.” After entering the time we reached the entrance to the ‘Everfree Forest’ As she called it. “By the way, I never got your name” I said “Oh its-” “I’m sorry I didn’t get that” I said ‘Geez even with my enhanced senses I still couldn’t hear that mumble’ I thought “Umm it’s Fluttershy.” ‘Fluttershy? What kinda name is that? Well I guess a name like that would probably fit in considering I’m in a world with Technicolour, Talking pegasi ponies.’ I mentally concluded “I’m sorry about Mr Cuddles attacking you.” Fluttershy said “Who’s Mr Cuddles?” I asked “My pet bear behind us” She replied “You named your bear Mr Cuddles?!” I yelled “Yes I did he can be very friendly if you get to know him.” She said “Yeah and My best friend is an Elite” I muttered under my breath “Pardon what did you say?” Fluttershy said “Nothing” I waved it away. “What’s your name?” Fluttershy asked me “M-My name? Oh it’s-” *CRASH* That was all I managed to say before I was knocked out cold by something heavy falling on my body. My head more than anything.
Fluttershy’s POV
“M-My name? Oh it’s-” *CRASH* “Oh my goodness!” I yelled and looked up to find Derpy sheepishly waving at me “Oops! Sorry Fluttershy!” Derpy said as a I helped her put all those bricks and heavy tools back in her big saddlebags. “The bags must have slipped off my back while I wasn’t looking sorry heheh” She said scratching the back of her head with her hoof and putting on a derp-eyed sheepish smile. “That’s alright, I’ll take him to my cottage and let him rest until he wakes up.” I said.
After getting all the things bag in Derpy’s bags she went to deliver the supplies to wherever they needed to go while I had to drag this pony to my cottage. “Mr Cuddles can you give me some help to carry this pony to our cottage?” I asked him the only response I got was him grabbing the pony and hoisting him on his shoulder. After about five minutes I could see my cottage in the distance. But I saw how Mr Cuddles was struggling to hold this armored pony. Mr Cuddles is one of the strongest animal friends I know and he can carry lots of heavy things! But here he is struggling with this pony. How heavy is his armor? Mr cuddles put the pony down and I tried picking him up to see how heavy he was. Oh he was so heavy! ‘How could he jump so high and move so fast in this heavy armor?!’ I thought. After the short break me and Mr Cuddles had to let him catch his breath from carrying such a heavy pony I noticed the sun going down ‘Oh no it’s getting dark, we need to get this pony inside and quick!’
“Hi Fluttershy!” Somepony yelled right next to me “Eeek!” I squealed and jumped about as high as that pony did on Mr Cuddles earlier. I turned to find a Rainbow maned Cyan coloured pegasus smiling at me. “Oh hi Rainbow Dash” I said “What’cha got there?” She asked “Oh I found this pony in the Everfree Forest testing this armor he said he made.” I said as I motioned to the pony Mr Cuddles was carrying. “Woah that armor looks cool! Could be a little cooler though. Maybe about 20% Cooler.” Rainbow Dash remarked. The pony’s armor was a dark Grey with Red stripes over it and a helmet with a black visor. “Rainbow could you get the girls? I’ll get this pony inside before it gets too dark.” I asked “Sure thing Fluttershy I’ll be back in ten seconds flat!” She saluted and flew off to get the others.
“Thank you Mr Cuddles” I said as he helped lay the pony on my living room couch. It creaked against his weight but still managed to hold him up at least. “I’m back Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash yelled from the front door “Oh great!” I walked to the door to greet the girls. “What in tarnation is that?!” Applejack asked “It looks like some kind of armor.” Twilight spoke next “Well it looks atrocious if I do say so myself!” Rarity said “He said he made it himself” I told her. “Well he must have a bad taste in design then!” Rarity retorted “It doesn’t look like he could’ve I don’t think there are any known materials in Equestria that look anything like this!” She replied “I’ve got a lot of questions to ask him when he wakes up!” Twilight said “Looks like he’s waking up now!” Pinkie said.
Murphy’s POV
I opened my eyes to find I’m in a house of some sort surrounded by lots of colours only adding to make my headache worse than it already is. My HUD flickered to life as I regained my senses.
“Ugh… Where am I?”
