Halo:battle for Equis

R&R, meeting the Cutie Mark Crusaders  and Poison Joke

October 13,2552

It's been three weeks since Molestia been at the base. She and Nightmare would follow Viper around the base and would kiss him intimately at unusual time. One week after Molestia stayed, two bug like ponies was outside the base. Molestia said that they were friends of her. Apparently they were called 'changelings', a species  that are able to change appearance's, like when one of them change into a mare that was called Pinkie pie and need love to survive . The black and green one was known as Queen Chrysalis and the other one was a albino Changelings queen with  her mane and tail are Cherry Blossom Pink and her eyes are Lilac Purple and instead of Chitin armor,she has soft white fur.her name was Arachnia.

After the meeting the two Changelings queen agreed to help the UNSC by sending spy into the slavers ranks to find when the next shipment was coming. After a little talking they found out that Arachnia was a newly crowned queen since her mother was killed by a raid consisting of slavers and the Royal Guard commanded by Shining Armor.  This alone pissed them off.killing a species because they were different. They allowed them to stay at the base. About twelve days ago, the two Changelings queen started to date both Marcus and Rusty. The two didn't care what they look like, they still loved them as they were.

The base was quiet since the team was given time to relax. Viper walked around the base looking at the different areas. Viper went to the marine barracks and saw them either playing cards, watching tv shows from the 21st Century, like Family guy, the Simpson's and a tv show called 'Jack ass'.  Viper saw a couple of marines playing punchies and two marines had red arms that could been compared  to a red Apple.

Viper shook his head and went to the ODST barracks.

After reaching the next barracks, Viper saw a couple of helljumpers cleaning their weapons, armor or playing basketball with a grenade,which still has the pin in it.

Viper could tell that they were bored to death. Some of them want to enter the drop pods and hit the earth again since they were trained to do that. Some ODST were playing slap jack in order to pass the time. After meeting and greeting them, Viper walked to the Command Center.

As Viper walked to the Command Center, he saw Molestia and Nightmare Moon  helping out with some of the baby orphans that was on board during the three ships escape from Reach. Molestia was changing some of their diapers or playing with them or putting them to sleep and Nightmare Moon was breastfeeding a six-month  old baby girl.Who lost her parents on Reach. Viper walked to Nightmare and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey Nightmare Moon."Viper said to her. She nodded r to him. They started to talk. Viper found out that they both got a job helping out with the baby and infants that are orphaned. He couldn't help but smile, something that he does rarely, at the things they both were doing. He said bye to her and allow her to continue to do her job.

As Viper entered the Command Center, he saw COs planning where to strike next, scientists looking at the native plants inside the forest and squad leader getting orders to help either take out any hostile animals or make more room for addition to the base. He saw a colonel that was in his 60s. Viper knew him very well. Colonel Anders was a veteran before the Covenant attacked. Even though he's a Colonel, he talks to other without using his ranks to get people attention. He saw the eggheads playing with a blue like plants that they found.Viper dismissed it as a project and proceeded to the base entrance to go for a walk, unaware of the event that will happen.

Sweet Apple acres, Ponyville

Applebloom, SweetieBelle and Scootaloo were going to head to Zecora hut and meet Trixie. After persuading their older sister to go, and succeeding, they left to Zecora's hut to talk to them. As they proceeded to her house, they started talking about different ideas of getting their Cutie Marks. When they arrive to Zecora's hut, they saw Trixie and Zecora talking to each other. The Cutie Mark Crusaders said hi to them.

"Hi Zecora, hi Trixie"Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle yelled.

"Hello girls, what brings you here?" Zecora asked them.

"We wanted to see what you were doing today."Applebloom said

"Well i was going to get some more herbs for a potion, if you want, you could help" Zecora asked them and they said yes. As the group of five walked to the place where Zecora's  plants were at,  they didn't hear the flapping of wings behind them. As they got to the place, they started to pick at the plant until Trixie heard something stepping on leaves.

"Who's there, Trixie demands you to show yourself." Trixie yelled. Her answer was a Griffon jumping out and pointing a Kar98 rifle at her. He whistled and 20 more came out of the bushes.

"Well, well, what do we have here? A Zebra, a unicorn and three fillies, looks good enough to be slaves. " The Griffon leader said. They all were surrounding the 5 Equestrian and Applebloom did one thing, she screamed.

Same time at Viper location

Viper was taking in the view of the forest until he heard a scream, more specifically a girl scream. His Big brother instinct kicked in and ran to the place where the scream originated. Before arriving at the scene, he fell into a blue plant, but didn't pay any attention. As he found where the scream came from, he was pissed. There was 20 slavers surrounding 4 ponies and a zebra. He grabbed a frag grenade and chucked it behind them. As it exploded, killing 5 of them, Viper jumped into the middle and started to fire his smg at the Griffons, killing 8 instantly. The rest took cover and fired their new bolt-action rifles.

Viper was forced into cover since his shields went down. He pulled a sticky grenade and tossed it at them, sticking to the Griffon beak as he screamed until he, along with the rest, exploded. As he put his SMG away, he saw the older Unicorn and Zebra standing in front of the smaller ponies.

"Look, I'm not dangerous, see." Viper said to the group as he put down his weapons and removed his helmet. The group were mesmerized by his eyes until Applebloom notice a similarity to a picture at home.

"Wait a minute, have i see you before? Applebloom asked him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Viper said.

"I've seen you before, at home with a  picture of my two older sister's, A.J and Big M." After Applebloom said that, Viper eyes opened wide as he pulled out the necklace and showed the little pony it.

"Do you recognize it?" Viper asked her. As Applebloom looked at it, she went wide eyed and hugged Viper. This caught him by surprise, but he returned it no less.

"Okay, now this reunion is nice and all, but we need to leave before more start to show up." Zecora said. Viper nodded and lead the group back to the base. Halfway to the base, Viper motion sensor picked up a lot of red dots. As the dots appeared on the sensor, an army of Griffon started to swoop down, trying to get one of them. Viper and the others ran, while Viper would fire at the ones who got too close.

They saw the gate entrance, which Viper signal them via communication lines, the gates opened and they jumped in. The Griffons got too close, until a Hoplite came out of the base, weapons ready and started to fire at the Griffons until there was none left. His front shield came down and Viper saw someone who he thought he will ever see again."Parker?"

Meanwhile in Sweet Apple acres, Ponyville

Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor and The mane six, including Big Macarena, were watching  another video through Viper helmet. They saw what kind of war he was fighting and he was seen as a invincible super soldiers that will fight the Covenant to their last bullet. They also saw that he saw  The most terrifying thing in his military career. During the battle of Arcadia, he saw what the Jackals and brutes do to humans left behind. Viper was scarred from what he has seen.

It fast Forward to where Viper was seeing 16 and 17 year-old entering pelicans to go fight the Covenant; hoping to slow them down to buy earth time to end the war. Most of them won't come back to see their families or loved ones. The Princesses saw how far humans will go to defend their home, even its meaning  causing nuclear winter on their own homes. It then showed Viper and his team. There were known as Spartan 3, on a Marathon-class cruiser heading towards Reach. This made them Gasp at the beauty of the planet.

Twilight decided to see what the planet was called. When she did she announced it to everypony. " The planet is Called Reach, humanity biggest shipyard and Fortress world. When it was discovered, the planet  was rich with Titanium, metal used to create their ships."

"Hold on a minute Twilight, last time I heard, Titanium was a rare metal, and they are using like nothing?" Applejack asked her. Twilight nodded and went back to the screen.

"It's also home to the Spartan 2 and 3 program and many others, like the Centurion and Hoplite projects." Twilight looked at the four projects and started to speak.

"The hoplite and Centurion projects were meant to use regular soldiers and give augmentation to Hoplite soldiers and put them inside armor that is easy to remove, except the Hoplite, since it requires help to put it on. The Centurion are meant to be fast and agile, while Hoplite are slow and heavy, but is used as a defense unit. Only 50 Centurion were made and 2,000 Hoplite are created." They were shocked to hear that they have a upper hand in technology and experience.

"The Spartan 3 project is created by Colonel Ackerson, which the project created super soldiers from war orphans who had nowhere to go. A unknown amount were created. The Spartan 2 project was created in 2517 when Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, ONI head scientist found 75 children and.." Twilight gulped as she said" kidnapped the 75 children and replaced them with clones. In the year 2525, they were given augmentation and out of 75, only 33 made it."

The group was shocked to hear that a woman kidnapped children to make Spartan 2.

"Here are some of the active or M.I.A  Spartans 2 up to date.'John-117, Fred-104,Kelly-087, Viper-198, and the red team who was on board the Spirit of fire." Applejack and Big Macarena sighed, knowing that Viper was alive. As Twilight continued the video it showed viper and his team heading towards a rebel outpost when a marine came on the comms and said something shook every Spartans to their core.

“Mayday, mayday, the Covenant is on Reach, the Covenant is on Reach.”

After that, they went to a staging area where the UNSC are mounting an Assault against the Task force of the Covenant. They saw how much vehicle were deployed. Then, the battle began. Both sides started firing at each other, destroying vehicle after vehicle, leaving hundreds of casualties on each side. It was going on until one Spire was destroyed and the biggest ship that the ponies ever saw came out and the recording stopped.

"Well, what happened to Viper Twilight?" Applejack asked, wanting to know what happened to Viper.

"Well according to this the Supercarrier, Long Night of Solace appeared above reach. They had a plan to destroy it without risking their ships. Dubbed Operation:UPPERCUT, it was to hijack a corvette, Ardent Prayer, and put a improvise slip-space bomb and detonate it. It was a success, but Jorge-052, dies since he had to manually detonate the bomb. Moments later,a fleet of 750 covenant Ships appeared near reach. Colonel Holland ordered all ships docked to get as much civilians off world and activate 'Cole Protocol'."

"That doesn't answer my question, is he alive or not?" Applejack both threatened and pleaded.

"It's said that he was last seen heading towards a Colony ship heading towards uncharted space. Hold here is the solar system." A small hologram of their solar system popped up and so did 4 ships.

"So he's alive?" Big Macarena asked. Only a nod was her answer.

"So twilight, since they are here, do you think that they would use their ships on us?" Celestia asked her student.

"I don't know princesses, their atomic bombs alone generate heat ten times our own surface of the sun." Twilight said nervously." And by the looks of it, they are watching our planet." Twilight was right, they hid behind the moon. Before anyone could say anything, Granny Smith came in and said"have you seen the girls anywhere?" They shook their heads.

"This is bad, it's past six and none returned. " this made all of them scared for the fillies, wondering what happened.

Base, Everfree forest

It's been 3 hours since the. Five arrived. The Colonel said they have to stay, since they both know where the base is located and if the Griffon are still out there. This got them scared to not see friends or family again. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders started to tear up, Viper promised them that they will get to see their families again. As Viper took them to their room, he was hit by a black and white blur. He saw Nightmare Moon and Molestia kissing him. He had  to explain to the frightened group they won't hurt them.

They decided to get  to watch a movie. They all agreed to the movie 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'. They watched it any sang every song up to 'Court of Miracles '. Which included Delta playing Clopin. Apparently they found out that when they sing, it will cause others to sing. After the movie was over, they grabbed something to eat. Viper and his team found out that the three fillies were called Cutie Mark Crusaders, who looking for their Cutie Marks. After Nightmare Moon and Molestia showed theirs to Viper, that made him blush, which tell about their destiny. After that, they went to sleep, unaware what's happening to Viper.
