A Savior From The Stars. (A Halo: ODST Crossover)

Chapter Four: Memories of a Dark Past

A glowing blade entered his gut, he winced, a damn split jaw stood above him, his mind raced "what the hell are you doing in Equestria," he closed his eyes, took a deep breath "I'm dreaming." The blade shattered, and the split jaw disappeared. He sighed as he woke up, still on the train, he looked over at his lieutenant who looked gave him worriedly "you alright captain, you where thrashing about real bad"

Hidden to the world behind his helmet was a tear. David just nodded and laid backdown. ^Here we go again.^ he thought going slowly falling back asleep.

~October 20, 2552-

David now a Specialist, was looking at the weapon rack, deciding which to grab. Well, being a marksmen made it easy for one, but he still had to chose a side arm. He grabbed his Sniper Rifle System 99-S5 Anti-Matériel and M7/Caseless Submachine Gun Making sure each Had a clip in them he shoved them into their holders in his drop pod. He was out of his armor, he was about to drop to the planet to take part in a drill. He stood about five foot four inches. His jet black hair was no longer regulation short, it was medium short, his face had a cut running over the left side of his lip. His bones where already healed. His blue eyes scanned over his armor, pristine, as always. He put his armor on, and looked at his ka-bar, a knife that was a recreation of a sword special forces used the twentieth century. But his however was made from carbon fiber. He looked at its sheath, it was black steel, and had a dog tag welded into the side against David's chest. It was Tex's tag. Tex... No longer crying for his friend, he locked the knife into its place and picked up his helmet and put it on.

Alarms blared and lights started flash "attention all hands! We have covenant vessels exiting slip space!" The commander yelled, David quickly grabbed five extra magazine for each gun and slid them into the pockets of his armor. Running to the communication device in the armory he contacted the bridge "Command, this is ODST number D342, Specialist David Smith, I was about to drop to go train with marines, I am prepared to drop this second sir, permission to go engage the enemy" he said while saluting the monitor.

The commander took a breath "I want you there yesterday, go show them who's planet this is" and with that the screen went black. David jumped into the pod, closing its door, he started to prep it for drop "This is ODST D342, dropping" his pod lurched and started to head for the planet. It didn't take a few minutes for him to make it to the panic filled streets of New Mombasa, his anti materiel rifle in hand looked at the civilians "get to shelter, go!" He said and saw a group of cops standing there "Hey! Lead these people to..." He trailed off seeing a rather large drop pod hit the street only 100 yards away, he fired a round into the air. "Get to shelter! NOW" he yelled and the civilians did what he said. Clicking on his visor he knew what was coming, elites, Zelot class. He had his rifle up, ready to fire. The door opened and a red outline showed. Boom, boom, boom, three shots, one dead Zelot, one empty mag. Reload, boom, boom, boom, another. He saw the last charging him, he took his time, aimed for the neck, boom, this time he dropped his rifle with a thud, and drew his knife, but didn't need to as the police open fire and dropped the Elite. Picking his rifle up he slid in his third mag. Two down, three to go. He placed his rifle on his back and grabbed his smg. He looked up just in time to see a pelican crash, he had to look for survivors, he hope there where some. The sight that met him surprised him "Chief?"

~present~

Sleep finally embraced him, but to him, he was just waking up, he was in a field, looking up at the stars, then he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw a familiar, feminine figure, she walked up to him, smiling "prince..." A finger met his lips, silencing him.

The figure smiled "I told you to just call me Luna" she said In a sultry voice, then wrapped one arm around his back, the other onto his cheek. Her lips gently met his, causing him to slowly return her loving embrace.

"Hey David, I lo.....*the train whistle made her voice en-audible, but her lips finished* "ve you". He woke up, the bright sun filled the room but to him, it didn't matter, what woke him was sound. A train whistle went off again. They where in Canterlot, he yawned under his helmet and stretched, that was the first good nights sleep he had since before he joine, was it because of the dream of her? His heart sped up slightly, he would get to see Luna again.
