Section 1: The 'Over' Side
Chapter 1:
Transportation
Blood dripped down the walls of Omega's base. A raging battle killed almost everyone inside.Almost. 3 Super Soldiers stood next to he dead marines. Blue team had attacked. Kate, Sam and Jacob walked down the red walls, stepping on every bone that lied on the ground.
"How did they get in? I thought marines had guarded the entrance..." Kate asked over the COM channels. No reply. The communication channels were blocked. You could only hear the foot steps of heavily armored soldiers and the faint sounds of the ghostly cries from the bodies.
Some thing sprinted across the path. It was on all 4s, and had details that looked like a horn. Jacob snapped his MA5D assault rifle into his grasp and sprayed bullets where the creature ran. A cry of pain screeched through out the base. A small trail of blood leaded to a pinkish unicorn.
"What.. The... Fu..." Sam muttered under his breath. The unicorn was small, like a pony or something. The pony's horn glowed and slowly faded away. Kate grabbed the pink mammal, Jacob grabbed her and Sam tried pulling them back. They faded with the unicorn.
They awoke in a plain field. not much except a large lake and a couple of beds of daises.
"You had to touch it, didn't you?" Sam muttered. The Armour of the soldiers had fully shut down. They had to re-boot it for the shields to come back online. Do they even need shields?
Chapter 2:
A Forest Of Wonders
They had traveled for about 3 hours. The Armour was re-booted and fully functional.A huge wall of trees protected a forest of strange creatures and plants. Do get into the dark wood land they would either walk around it, or blow a hole in it. The Spartans still had all their weapons and ability's on them, so the second option was the most likely to get chosen. The sound of a fire work blasted through the ear buds of the Humans.
"Were lost aren't we?" Kate asked to the older males. Still no reply. She was pretty much invisible to them, they wanted to find humanity and/or find a shelter. The sun was slowly setting over the giant trees of the forest. The Spartans had learnt that a shelter was vital for surviving, but the tall red armored soldiers ignored the fact. The moon rose upon the land, having a marking of a dark armored beast of in.
"Were lost." Sam mumbled over the COM channels. The Spartans readied their weapons. Kate with a SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle, Sam with a M45 Tactical Shotgun and finally Jacob with a MA5D assault rifle. The secondary weapons are not important.
A roar of a beast shook the leaves of the trees, the Spartans sprinted to the creature making his ear splitting scream. A creature with the body of a lion, a scorpion's tail, and a pair of wings stood in front of a small purple horse. Kate ran towards the purple pony had grabbed it, running back into the cover of the male Spartans. She covered the unicorns mouth as the rest of Omega team shot at the creature. Kate handed Jacob her sniper, he shot the weapon in a matter of seconds. Straight through the creatures skull. Blood covered the ground and onto a rock. The red liquid dripped down the body of the beast as it fell onto the rock ground.
Kate stared at the purple unicorn. It stared right back. "Do you have a name or something?" Kate announced to the pony.
"You except it to talk? Kate you know that not going t hap-" Sam was interrupted by a small voice.
"What are you?!? What did you do to that manticore?!?" The unicorn screamed. Jacob chuckled as Sam took off his helmet, showing his battle scars. Kate did the same, her face was un-touched though.
"Tell us Your's first." Sam requested.
"If you wish... I'm Twilight Sparkle, I am a pony like everypony else who lives her." Twilight acknowledged. Sam's jaw dropped. Kate's mouth was trying to hold in a burst of laughter, Jacob could not in his chuckles.
"There's more of you?!?" Sam grunted.Twilight nodded.
"I could take you to them, if you want..." She said. The humans put on their helmets and followed the pony down a long thin path.
Chapter 3:
Over Reaction
"What were you doing in that forest anyway?" Kate asked.
"The Princess wanted me to find some sort of flower, i guess i will just say that i couldn't find any." Twilight Sparkle revealed. Sam and Jacob looked at each over's VISORS. They fell on the ground and burst out in tears.
"You're killing us! Bwahaha!" Jacob laughed. Twilight's eyes widened.
"How are they carrying all that metal?" Twilight thought. Omega team carried on walking on the path until they got to a small cottage. Twilight knocked on the door, the door creaked open.
"What the..." Twilight muttered. Sam walked into the small cottage It was too small for him, he was way taller then the pony. When he entered he saw a yellow Pegasus lying on the floor. He picked up the small creature, it was surrounded by other small mammals. When Sam picked up the yellow pony the other creatures looked scared of some sort. Sam felt guilty but he couldn't leave a innocent creature lying there. Twilight told Omega team to run to the hospital, and that she'll meet them there.
The Spartans were spotted by pretty much the whole town of ponies. Some were confused,scared or even trying to help the yellow Pegasus. One though, flew straight into Jacob, she was cyan with a rainbow mane. She tried pulling the mammal out of Sam's hands. Jacob picked up the obnoxious pony knocked her out. It wasn't very hard, she was pretty much knocked out by the site of 3 giant creatures running through a town filled with colourful horses. Jacob was now holding a mammal of his own.
Kate, who was staggering behind, looked at the ponies. One walked up to her and touched her Armour, Others did to. Until a whole crowd surrounded her. Kate grabbed her sniper from a ponies hoofs and fired in into the air. The sound of a tiny metal pellet breaking the sound barrier scared every mammal around. She eventually caught up with the others at the entrance to the hospital.
Twilight told the Spartans to stay out of sight and that she'll bring 'Fluttershy' into the hospital. The Spartans nodded and walked off. Jacob was still holding the blue pegasi, he left her down around a barn house. Omega team stayed with her until she awoke. They were wondering how they got to this world, and how they would leave. They all took of there Helmets and created a small fire, while eating some apples that were growing near the farm.
The cyan pony awoke to the scarred face of a war veteran. a scar went down from his eye down to his lip. It was a deep cut, from a energy sword or a plasma round. The blue pony screamed, she had never seen a human before. A american accented pony ran right to the Spartans.
"Rainbow Dash!?!" An orange pony screamed. Kate got up and walked over to the creature, she patted her on the back and told her not to worry. The pony looked at Sam, he had rose his gun to aim straight to her face. He slowly lowered it. Rainbow Dash was being held down by Jacob, he was telling her not to worry. Everything was quite awkward for a bit, until Jacob got up. He grabbed Rainbow and dragged Applejack off into the a distance.
Jacob was grunting and panting, eventually he let go of he ponies. They got up and tried attacking the Super Solider, Jacob blocked them with the palms of his hands.
"If you try that again, i will not hesitate to break any visible bones on your body." Jacob notified. The two ponies looked worried, they simply nodded. He dropped them once more. They didn't move. Jacob turned around, getting his assault rifle out. He used the nozzle of the weapon to draw a picture in the dirt.
It was a picture of three figures and two ponies. one was being carried and the other galloping behind. Jacob pointed out that one of them was Twilight Sparkle and that the other had fainted or something. He went so far out so he could say a secret to the colourful ponies. He whispered that he was actually slowly dying, he told these two ponies because they seemed loyal enough, and that he had to tell somebody. The ponies said they would tell anyone, but they told him that he should see a doctor. He softly said that we wanted to die, end his life for good. He told the ponies that they could go. They didn't move. Jacob activated something and punched the ground. A blue shield glowed around him. He had activated Armour Lock. His was not the version other Spartans had, his was in beta. He was trapped in this mode until someone took off a section of his Armour.
Sam and Kate went looking for Jacob, they saw the ponies poking a blue ball of energy.
"Oh no" Kate muttered. She sprinted to the veteran, Sam close behind her. Kate jumped in front of the orange and blue ponies and tried to pull of Jacobs helmet. it was jammed. Something was coming.
Chapter 4:
Sacrifice
The ground vibrated, a worm hole appeared in the sky. A Covenant vessel had discovered the Spartans location and hyper jumped to the planet. Jacob broke the blue glow that surrounded him and looked up.
"Mother of god...". He looked to the creatures behind him. They had no idea what to do. He did. Jacob had one idea. He started to move his feet when suddenly a giant ball of pink dust appeared and a white horse with a long multicoloured mane.
"What's going on!?!" She screamed over the sound of engines. Jacob ran up to her and explained. He ended by saying;
"Can you get me up there?". The Princess started to say that it was a crazy idea.
"CAN YOU GET ME UP THERE?!?" Jacob shouted. She nodded. Jacob started glowing.
"What are you doing?!? Don't go!" Kate and Sam prayed.
"See you guys on the over side." Jacob whispered over the COM channel.
Jacob woke up next to a brute. Jacob got his knife out and stabbed its spine. The plea of help was heard through out the room. Purple blood dripped off the knife as the Spartan twisted it threw the bones of the Jirahanne. Crack. Plasma skimmed the marine's Armour as he took the knife out the corpse. He had no time to get his gun, so he threw the knife into the creatures face. The animals brain was sprayed over the wall. He found a control panel, he must of been teleported to the control room. He laid his fingers over the hovering panels and made the vessel go into the atmosphere. Once done he used his Armour lock for a new purpose. Blow up the ship. He used the remaining grenades and threw them into a weak spot in the engine. He used his ability to spread the explosions in all different directions.
He punched the floor, a blue glow surrounded him. When the explosion hit him he left Armour lock. It had worked without removing a part of his helmet. The explosion shook the bones while they were still in him. Blood dripped off his eyes and ears. Tears fell as well. The vessel exploded them transported itself into a new solar system. Parts of the ship fell to Equestria, scattering everywhere. Twilight left the hospital with Fluttershy and ran to the remaining Spartans. Kate was sobbing and Sam held his hand by his heart.
Chapter 5:
Funeral
It rained hard the day Jacob was buried. The body Armour was found, but the human that was once inside had burnt to dust. The grave was a cross and Jacobs red Mark VI helmet was on top. The Princess, Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. The Spartans were also there. Not with their Armour though. They stood in the rain. watching over there dead friend.
"A good man died yesterday. A man you could depend on. A man i loved. Jacob, My brother." Kate Sputtered.
"Jacob would never run. He would protect anything. He told us Spartans never die. If only that were true." Sam cried.
It was silent for a bit. Everyone departed soon after that. Kate and Sam went different ways, Sam left PonyVille to look for a way back to Earth. Kate helped the ponies of the town. But every now and again they would both hear the same phrase;
"Spartans Never Die. There Just Missing in Action.". It would bring a tear to there eye.
Sam had become a myth. A lone wolf that walked through the Ever Free Forest. PonyVille had its own legend. Kate would hide at the top of the town hall, doing any jobs that were available. She would cry herself to sleep every night. Kate one day tried to commit suicide. She didn't have the guts to do it. Both Spartans were now Lone Wolves.
One day, a pink pony asked Kate to a party. Kate followed the strangely excited pony down the path. She turned her head to Jacobs grave. Someone was standing there. It was Un-clear. Kate didn't care. Once at the party, everyone else was there. They threw a surprise party for her for doing all lots of work around town. It was about 30 minutes in when something knocked on the door. Rainbow Dash answered. In the doorway was another Spartan. Sam. He had found his way back to town. He met up with Kate and told her about everything. Once both Spartans shared gossip a loud explosion went off. Everyone felt the vibration. The Spartans Ran outside with their guns out. Someone stood there. A Spartan Lazer in one hand and a energy sword in the other.
"Spartans Never Die. The're Just Missing In Action.". The COM channels suddenly worked. The voice was odd. it was soft. It was... Jacob's...
