Halo:battle for Equis

Human’s History and Genocidal War

August 26th, 2552 (day after drone crash)

It has been almost a day since the unknown vehicle crashed outside of Ponyville. Princess Celestia tasked Twilight and Matthew to learn more about it. They found out it uses some type of generator that uses sunlight to power it up. The front has a 'camera' as Twilight said and recorded what it saw and reported it back to wherever it came from. As they started to get more info, Twilight saw something she loves, history. She was able to remove the camera from the thing. There were some history shows on it. She decided to get her friends and the princesses to watch. As they came to her home around sun down, she started the show. They all were fascinated at how they started. They started as hunter-gatherers to big and powerful nations. They talked to each other on how they were able to accomplish such feats.

"Did you see how they created so much fashion and clothing?" Rarity asked, mesmerized on how they changed fashion so quickly.

"How about they tame animals?" Fluttershy said, thinking on how they tamed the most dangerous critters in the wild.

After some talking, Shining Armor joined them and asked to see their military. So Twilight put on a documentary called 'WW2: from space'. As it started, they saw how the planet was thrown into a global war by three power hungry countries. As they continue to watch they saw the U.S. rise to being the most powerful nation on Earth. They saw that they created weapons, like tanks, cars and Rainbow Dash’s favorite, airplanes. They saw how they fought and how many people died trying to end the war. As the episode was drawing to a close, they saw how dangerous their weaponry was. The U.S. made a weapon called an 'atomic bomb' which was dropped to end the war, but came at a terrible price.

Over 78 million people’s lives were lost and about 66% was civilian casualties. They watched all the other war documentaries, one called 'the civil war ' in which was about slavery. It lasted four years and the United States won over the Confederacy. They saw some more, including about them landing on their moon. As they watched, they learned how they created large space ships and new technology. Then came the ftl drive, which allows them to enter slip space, creating the EUG and UNSC. They stopped showing more after they decided to bring this to Parliament to help push the law to be removed. But they don't know about what happened in the last 27 years for humanity.

August 27th, 2552

Parliament building, Canterlot

The politicians were less than happy to be called early in the morning. As they filled the seats that surrounds a stage one of them said, "Princess Celestia, why did you have to get us up so early?" One of the politicians asked.

"Two days ago, Rainbow Dash found something that isn't made by Equestrians or any other civilizations of Equis," as Celestia announced this, all the politicians were whispering to each other, as they continued for 10 minutes.

Celestia spoke, "As we looked into it, we discovered it was made by a space-faring civilization called the United Nations Space Command or the U.N.S.C," this caught their attention. A space-faring civilization; who would think of that?

"The people of the civilization are humans," after Celestia said that, all of the members of Parliament started yelling at Celestia. She knew they won't believe her until she had actual proof. Her sister silenced them by using the Royal Canterlot Voice.

After that, Celestia showed them how they worked to become big, powerful nations. But history has a funny way of showing it. They found out that they used slavery since the Egyptian, Roman, and Greek civilizations were made, but it had a price. The slaves would revolt and it ultimately led to big empires to being destroyed. It showed how they fought, different strategies used, weapons and armor. Eventually they started to expand to space and colonizing different worlds until it stopped at February 2525.

They were all wondering what happened, so Twilight and Matthew went to working on it until Matthew saw a small reflecting glass looking right at him. He looked at it and a small, long light running horizontally scanned his eyes causing him to freak out. A monotonous voice started talking and it was heard by everypony.

"Commander Viper. Born on Jericho 5. Parents: unknown. Birthday: unknown. Gender: male. Weight: 103kg. Height: 220cm. Welcome, Viper."

As it was over, a small disc popped out of a slot, in which Twilight grabbed and put it into the camera feed. It started to play and what they saw next was disturbing. It showed humanity was fighting against a technologically superior race called the Covenant. They saw how much humanity has lost to their genocidal campaign. Over 15 trillion lives lost and 85% of human controlled planets were glassed, which was a strategy used by the Covenant by flying into the atmosphere and firing energy Projectors, which leaves a plant uninhabitable. After that it showed static. The parliament was shocked to see that and was thinking that if the Covenant finds them, what would happen?

"What was that?!" Screams a member of the Parliament.

"I don't know. This has never shown up before," Twilight said.

"Well whatever it is, I believe that it's wise to not contact the UNSC or Covenant, but the law still stands."

"What?!" Screamed Celestia and Luna.

"I'm sorry, but since you aren't a queen or have the other royal family signing to repeal the law, it will still be continued. Meeting is adjourned," as the last sentence was spoken, all the politicians started to exit the building, leaving a distraught Celestia to think about what they had shown to them and they still did not waver to this. She knows what happens from today on will not be her problem.
