Halo:battle for Equis

Meeting Discord and First Strike

October 17, 2552 1500

It's been half an hour since Discord showed himself to the UNSC. Right now, he was talking to Viper in the throne room of Chrysalis’ hive.

"Discord, we don't even know we can trust you. What if you're working with Celestia to find this place?" Viper said as Discord was drinking chocolate milk from a cup.

"I would rather be turned back to stone rather than help Celestia. I actually want to thank you for freeing me from my prison." Discord said.

"What?" Carolina asked.

"Oh, when you and that other Spartan, what was his name, 'Rusty'? Anyway, you two and him caused enough Chaos to help me break out of my prison." Discord said as he conjured another cup of chocolate milk.

"So what? You're going to cause chaos around the world?" Carolina said.

"Well actually, I could help you in your situation that you're in."he said

"How could you do that?" Viper asked.

"Well, I could sneak into the Royal Guard barracks and find what they are planning and find which city has the least amount of Guards in them and I could help you out from time to time." Discord said.

Viper and Carolina were looking at each other. On one hand, they were talking to the Spirit of Chaos himself and doesn't look like the type to keep his promise. On the other hand, he could prove a useful ally to them and get the upper hand in this.

"You better keep your word or I'll make sure you wish you were turned back to stone." Viper said as he shook Discords hand.

"Great! Now if you would excuse me, I have some spying to do." Discord said before disappearing.

"So we have a nutjob of a Chaos spirit and a pony subspecies that could change themselves to any one of those ponies. So now what?" Carolina asked Viper.

"Now, we cut off the head of the snake," Viper said as he went back to his room.

October 18, 2552

It's been a day since Discord allied with the UNSC. Now Viper and his team were about to go get their armor, until Parker showed up.

"Parker, why are you here?" Viper asked as Parker handed him papers. Viper looked through it and smiled once he was done.

"Welcome to the squad." Viper said as he and Parker shook hands.

As the eleven went to the armor suiting room, since Chrysalis gave them an extra room to build it, and entered. They took their respective place where their armor was placed. Once they all put their feet on the ground near the mechanical arms, it locked them in place as the armor started to assemble on them.

They were then lifted off the ground and started to attach the back and front plating of their armor. As the gauntlets were attached, the ten had their helmet put on as Viper’s helmet was inside his armor.

After that, they were put in the ground as Anders appeared in front of them.

"Jeez, this armor is light. What did you say this was made of?" Parker asked from his C.I.C helmet speakers.

"Your armor is made from class 14 forerunner combat skins, which should take up to fifteen tank rounds and that's just the shields. Your main armor has a forerunner gel inside that nothing short of the MORS sniper rifle could penetrate it. And your energy pack that is powerful enough to charge Manhattan from the twenty first century for two hundred years." Anders said as the team were shocked about this.

"The Spartan two has a class 15 forerunner combat skin and a slightly stronger armor." Anders said as Discord popped up in front of them.

"Great news! Captain Shining Armor is heading to Trottingham to find the ones responsible for all the chaos there." he said as Viper looked at him.

"When you mean someone, you mean you?" Viper asked.

"Well I am the Spirit of Chaos, so what would you expect?" Discord said.

"OK. Marcus I need you to ask Chrysalis to send changelings to help us with this, while we go to Trottingham." Viper said as Marcus nodded and went to see his marefriend and the team went up top to the landing zone.

Meanwhile in Trottingham

Shining Armor was walking through the partially destroyed city, along with a platoon of Guards with him.

"Be safe Shining Armor." Twilight said over the radio that was taken from the destroyed Alpha base. Shining was also using a camera that his little sister made so they could see everything he sees.

"Don't worry Twily, nothing dangerous here, and make sure mom doesn't freak out by this." he said as they saw nothing but deserted buildings.

"Shining, Celestia asked on how your progress is going?" Twilight asked.

"Nopony here, just the ruined buildings and birds." Shining said as he held his grip on the Vindicator rifle he found.

"Looks like nothing here. We should head back to Canterlot." what he didn't know was he wasn't going to make it back to Canterlot.

"Call in the 'Pelican'." Shining said, the Pelican word leaving his mouth, since he wasn't use to calling it that.

One of the Corporals sent a letter to the ones flying the Pelican for a pickup. Five minutes later, the Pelican was in view. But on the ground, changelings, armed with weapons from the UNSC, were running towards Shining Armor’s location and hiding behind debris.

On a rooftop, Viper’s team armed with rocket launchers were aiming at the stolen dropship. Once they got lock on, they fired the rockets at the ship. Most of them hit the back engine, and two hitting the cockpit, causing it to crash. Shining Armor and his platoon moved out of the way, separating them.

"Shining, what happened?" Twilight asked.

"Changelings are attacking us. They're flanking behind us!" Shining said as he shot the changelings in front of him, unaware of who was behind him. Rusty with his helmet off, was approaching Shining Armor without him knowing.

Shining put another clip in, as more changelings started to appear. As he killed a couple more changelings, he heard one of his men shouting to him.

"Captain, behind you!"

He turned around to see Rusty walking up to him. He pointed his rifle at him, only to hear clicking from it, telling him that it was empty. He started the chainsaw bayonet and went to cut him in half, only for Rusty to stop it from hitting him, and yanking it out of his hands.

Rusty then proceeded to kick Shining in the chest and made him fly six feet backwards. He tossed the rifle away as the pony in front of him grabbed a pistol, but he grabbed his neck and lifted him in the air.

In Canterlot, Twilight was watching her brother lifted into the air by the same person who tried to kill her yesterday. They saw him activate a blue blade from his wrist as Shining Armor was trying to break free of his grip.

But as he was wriggling free, Rusty stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Shining Armor to yell out in pain and coughed up blood and onto Rusty’s face, before he pushed the blade deeper into him.

Before Shining Armor died, however, Rusty pulled him towards him and said to him.

"This is for Arachnia’s mother and her hive, you bastard."

After that, Shining went limp as he finally died from blood loss. Rusty then deactivated his blade and tossed his corpse away from him. Eventually, all the surviving Guards surrendered to the UNSC. This was the first blow that they dealt against Equestria and it was a major blow.

In Canterlot

Twilight was crying since her older brother, her BBBFF, was now dead. Spike and her parents were comforting her as Celestia had a serious expression on her face. Not only did she lose her Captain of her Guards, but now that they just started a war with them.

"Corporal, send out letters to every city to have their guards on standby and have the rest of the reserves." Celestia said to the Corporal in the room. He saluted her and left to have retrieve a pegasus courier to send the orders.

In Chrysalis’ hive

The entire hive was now cheering that Shining Armor was now dead. Viper knew that they started a war with them and they need resources or they won't last long.

When he returned to his team room, he saw Ryam undressing Discord’s daughter, Eris, who was kissing him. Viper closed the door as a blush was growing on his face. Viper decided to head towards his room.

Once he got there, Viper saw Nightmare Moon and Molestia on his bed with smiles on their faces.

"Uhhh, why are you smiling like that?" Viper asked. Nightmare Moon stood up and walked to him.

"Because, Viper, we're pregnant," she said.

The last thing that Viper heard before passing out.
