*Author Notes; I'm sorry about the confusion of Octavia. I didn't know she was a background character in the actual show. Please note that this is just another pony name 'Ovtavia'. Character, and looks are completely different. *
HALO EQUESTRIA
Prologue
“Earth” Sgt. Buck stated as we slowly flew by. No other words could creep out of Bucks mouth. We are station inside a UNSC air-ship known as 'The Pillar of Autumn'. What once laid grass of 'home' and 'land', was no longer our priority. Marines. The mission of holding whats left of our land... hopeless. It has been 2000 years since ponies has once inhabited earth. Only to be struck by a massive storm. An 'alien' species known as the 'covenant' bashed through our lands, in terms to find necessities such as food and water. But that didn't matter no more. In fact, nothing made clear sense anymore. Princess Celestia issued an emergency broadcast. It hosted nearly every server in Equestria. As Sgt. Buck attempts to get a last glimps of earth, the sirens suddenly went off. “Bravo 6-4 6-4; Covenant has breached the north-east side of--”.
I laid still and almost frozen in a tube. The marines have developed 'Bio-Mechanicle Genetic Engineering'. Used by the marines to create a super-pony like pony known as Spartans. Steam hissed as my tube open. I assume I was locked inside for just a day.. until I took my first glimps. As I slowly open my eyes, I noticed my helmet displayed a HUD. It displayed my oversheild, my health, and my ammo. As I stepped out, I had the un-brightest sense, of what is going on. Sirens, red flashing lights, and suddenly I was stopped by a mare known as Private Octavia. “Sgt. Buck needs you at the north east corridor of the ship ASAP.” As I walk around, with wondrous curiosity, I began to have a sudden flashback. It was the year 3050. I had just enlisted in the marine core. A friend brought to my attention of a new technology known as Bio-Mechanicle Genetic Engineering. Lieutenant Colonel Fluttersarge(932nd Platoon Command) latest self-evaluation letter assignment for this year, included an unusual separate attachment. A contract for testing. Being just a young colt, I signed the contract, allowing scientist to a full test simulation on me. No matter what the consequences were, there weren't any loopholes to getting out of it. Oh.. I forgot to mention my name. My name is, or once was, Dashidor. I was named after my great great great grandmother Rainbow Dash. However... ever since I signed that contract... my name is Spartan I34(Master Chief as I was referenced by troops). Spartans are known to be the most Elite Troops of the military. Not even Echo4-3 Special Ops. Would even match up.
As I Began to follow Octavia, I could see the troops gathering up in there hornets stored across the ship. Taking off into the abyss of space. As we approached the north-eastern corridors a little mare came up to me in tears. “My daddy left me!!” she cried. As I looked at the little filly, she informed us her dad left in one of the escape pods without her. Being as heart felt, I made a promise to the filly to take care of her. As she climbed on my back, Ovtavia and I quickly trotted to Sgt. Buck. “Ponies. There has been a security breach somewhere in the north east side of the ship. There are only 5 escape pods left.” As he became to trot towards me, he hovered me a weapon. It was Pistol, a Beretta m09 to be exact. “Here--” He said only to be cut off by Covenant Tangos .
Bashing through the door. “Chief follow me!!” Octavia ordered me. Two specific breeds of Covenant, known as elites and grunts flooded the corridor hallways. As plasma shields were thrown I notice something. They have no hoofs... nor the less do they have any pony parts. They we human like alien figures. Purple and green. The elites stand tall, and first with plasma pistols. The grunts were small, and seemed almost a little funny. They said historically funny sayings. ...They spoke English. I was amazed. As I gazed at them, Ovtavia grabbed my hoof, and pulled me to a safe cover. “Your gonna get us killed!” I stopped to look at the filly on top of me. She gave me a reason to keep focus. I look at Octavia and give her a nod. “Do you know how to use that weapon?” she asked. “Of course, Marines don't train you on just one weapon you know..” I responded. “Well use it!” putting the filly down getting ready to fire, my troops had already cleared out the room. I hovered the filly back on me. And Octavia and I trotted along many hallways firing at any covenant enemies in our path. Suddenly we came finding ourselves trotting through this dark tunneled hallway. I noticed a light in my helmet turns on. “Your helmet is provided with many features. Along with your HUD, you have a flashlight. I'm not sure if anypony gave you a briefing on this, but listen up to this short lesson on your armor. Your HUD displays an oversheild bar, your ammo, and your flashlight energy. Your armor consist of one oversheild. Once you are shot enough, your green bar, turns to red. This is your health. Once that red bar is gone... your gone. So watch yourself okay..?” she said raising her hoof. Octavia seemed like a nice pony. She was a white unicorn, and had the most beautiful red mane. Her mane has purple, pink, and blue highlight stripes in one side. She seemed to be the person to follow I thought to myself at this point. If I'm going to learn anything about whats going on... shes the mare to follow. She stood as a TSgt(Technical Sergeant). I assume she knows a little more about the mission than I do, due to the fact she's helping me out by order of Sgt. Buck.
The filly that laid on top of me has kept quiet for quit some time. Not saying a word... scared...We all finally approached the escape pods. All but one remains. As we approached, Octavia looked at us. “I'm sorry..... but my mission is done.” she began trotting along the hallways in search of fellow troops. “Wait!” Octavia stopped. “why-y can't you come?” I asked feeling sad. “my mission was to take you hear... not to accompanied you. I'm sorry...” She said with a tear in her eye. She dashed her hair across her eyes to attempt to hide that tear. As she trotted away... I felt a saddened heart. Foolish of me. A crush on Ovtavia? I thought later to myself. As I entered the escaped pod with the filly still on my back. I sat her down next to me as we sat on the rugged seats. I hesitated. Suddenly, I hear this...electronic sounding pony... and a vision blurred me in the eyes. “Chief, Press the button Chief.” a purple like figure. Octavia must have secretly microchiped my helmet! This pony figure... was giving me an order..? As confused as I was... I leaned over to the launch button. Hesitated and scared, I pressed it. The rockets of the escaped pod fired up. Slowly as we begin to launch... I cannot stop thinking of Octavia. 'Will I ever see her again?' Questions rolled throughout my head. The filly beside me still has not said a word. I came close to her and hugged her. “It'll be alright.” I said, trying to break a smile. Our orbit was suddenly changed by a pull of gravity. As we looked through the small circle sized window. We see this giant ring structure. Suddenly... we began dropping at speeds of 500 Mph into its orbit. As we continue to speed faster and faster, I tightly hugged the filly protecting her from impact. A red blinking light starts flashing. As we finally reached the lowest hemisphere. We crashed 5 feet under the soil of this planet.
