Haylo equestria: ponies evolved
chapter 1: the drop
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAs Leroy entered the bridge he walked over to captain Jonas and asked flatly. “you wanted to see me sir?”
“Ah yes, listen here lieutenant we seem to have exited slip space in orbit of an S3 planet similar to earth” Leroy stood there clad in his mjolnir mark iii armour and standing a full 2 feet above the captain.
“With all due respect sir, how does this involve me” the captain turned on the spot and stared at the 7 ft Spartan iii super soldier that stood before him.
“I’m sending you down there on a recon mission to document the conditions on the surface. Our MTS304 bio scanner tells us that it does have a breathable atmosphere and conditions are pretty much the same as earth except for peculiar changes in weather so watch yourself down there, we don’t see any traces of covenant activity either, but better safe than sorry.
“Do I have a pelican waiting for me sir?”
“Negative we will be sending you down in a drop pod for this mission as the pelicans were damaged in the last covenant battle and the premature slip space jump didn’t help either.”
“Roger sir”. As Leroy walked down into the armoury he picked up his helmet and placed it on his head,
“It’s about time you got back” said a soothing female voice from inside his helmet
“Oh hey Jess, yeah sorry I forgot to take you out of the helmet but I got called to the bridge, the captain has asked me to take a drop pod down to the planet that we are in orbit around”
Leroy sat into his drop pod and placing into the weapon holders his M6G silenced double action pistol, MA5C assault rifle with under barrel flashlight and his own personalised M90 close combat shotgun with an emblem of a bright red circle around a black wolf howling with its head craned back. He closed the door to the drop pod, hit the button and as the drop pod shook and fell down through the deep expanse of space, the ride in a drop pod is the most uncomfortable things that a Spartan or ODST with ever experience in their whole life, well except for being shot but that goes without saying.
Leroy’s pod hit the ground with an almighty thud and after about a minute or so the heavy plated door of the drop pod opened and Leroy stepped out into the night of a foreign planet he grabbed and holstered his silenced pistol and put his assault rifle and combat shotgun on his back crossed over each other and started off into the forest just opposite him. As he entered the forest he could feel things watching him and kept a firm grip on his holster ready to pull out his pistol if needed.
He had been in that forest for little under five minutes before hearing a sharp squeal he rushed to the source and found a fallen tree but no creature he walked around for a bit, he was sure that the sound came from this area, he jumped as he almost tripped over something sticking out from under the log, after looking down at this ‘something’ he saw that it was a small yellow creature with pink hair, he jumped back as it looked up at him and whimpered quietly
“please don’t hurt me” from the voice Leroy gathered that it must be a female and she was in pain. He was supposed to be a ruthless killing machine but the sight of this poor creature in pain made him cringe and besides she might be a civilian. He knelt down in front of her.
“I’m not going to hurt you” the creature looked up stunned.
“You-you can talk” she muttered
“Yes I can talk now hold still while I try to lift this log off of you”
being genetically enhanced and the augmentations in his suit made it all the more easy to lift the log, when the creature was free from the log he knelt down once more and said calmingly
“here let me help you”, he put an armour plated armour around her midsection when he was hit by an unbelievable amount of force and was tackled to the floor he reached for his pistol but a strike to his hand knocked it away, however this didn’t phase the Spartan as he simply rolled over on top of his assailant, raised a hand and was about to strike the creature in the head when he heard the timid yellow creature say.
“Rainbow! What are you doing?” both Leroy and his attacker stopped to look up. The yellow creature limped towards them, “I’m called Fluttershy and the pony on top of you is called Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow why are you attacking him”
“Because he was attacking you” Fluttershy limped even further towards them.
“No he certainly wasn’t attacking me, he was helping me get up and he even helped me out from under the log that you knocked down on me”. Rainbow Dash’s next words seemed full of sorrow.
“I-I-I knocked that tree down on you”
“Yes you did but don’t beat yourself up over it I’m ok, and I would appreciate it if you could get off of my helper” asked Fluttershy calmly. Dash got up off of the armour clad warrior and started to blush at the mistake she had made.
“So uh, you’re good then right” she asked looking at Fluttershy slightly nervous as she limped slowly towards her. Rainbow looked at Leroy and smiled nervously. “Well if you managed to fend me off then I’m sure you can handle anything in this forest” she said and not a moment later she was in the air and flying away so. Leroy walked over to Fluttershy.
“So, you’re a pony?” asked Leroy.
“Of course I’m a pony what did you expect” that was a very good point, Leroy didn’t actually know what to expect, he had been sent down here and had absolutely no idea what he would find.
“Where is your home” the yellow coated pony pointed and Leroy had soon picked her up and was on his way through the forest. He soon arrived at a clearing and was met with a sophisticated looking cottage.
“There, that’s my house” it wasn’t at all what Leroy was expecting, this was a pony, a pony! Leroy was just expecting a small field or something like that. Once through the small wooden door he set Fluttershy down on a table and took a look at her back legs, the left one seemed fine however her right one seemed to be bent way out of shape, he knew what needed to be done but this pony seemed so delicate, she wasn’t going to like this,
“Ok, I have some bad news and some good news, the good news is that you are going to be ok but...”
“What’s the bad news?”
“The bad news is that this is really going to hurt, but you won’t get better until this is done”. The Spartan took out his LHR combat knife and as he did so the small pony’s eyes narrowed with fear but then calmed as she realised it wasn’t for her. He pulled a large flag out of a compartment in his chest plate and cut off a small piece. “Ok I want you to take this cloth and put it in your mouth and bite down as hard as you can” after it was secure in the yellow pony’s mouth he placed his hands upon her leg and gave a glance to the now quivering Fluttershy, “ready?” he asked, the only response he got was a small nod, then he suddenly gave a violent push and a loud clicking noise could be heard as the disjointed bone slid into place and as it did ,Fluttershy let out a ear piercing shriek. The pony looked at the now normal looking leg and slowly looked up with eyes full of tears at the Spartan.
“Thank you” she muttered with pain still in her voice. At hearing this the soldier stood up and went to leave but was suddenly stopped by the pony’s feminine voice... “Wait where are you going?”
“I’m going to look around some more”
“But it’s dark out there and you will not see ponyville in its full beauty until its light, so why don’t you sleep here tonight?"
