Noble Six: Off the Record

"Gorge, are you okay!" I yelled at him.

"Yea. Just a little scarp with a manticore. No big deal." He said.

"Wait, those things from greek mythology?" Kat asked.

"Yes it is the truth, these monsters are no ruse." Zecora said.

"I just got poisoned, I passed out, she found me, she brought me here, and here we are." He said.

"What do we do now, we have the whole team back together, were apparently stuck on this planet that we have no hope of getting off of, and we know nothing about this place." Kat said.

"First, I think we should introduce you to the princesses, there probably your best bet at getting home." Twilight told them.

"Oh great, a monarchy. Well isn't there a king or queen?" Carter asked.

"There was." Twilight said.

"Well what happened?" Emile asked.

"They died fighting Ursa majors. But thats off topic, the princesses are in charge here." Rainbow said.

"Well when can we meet them?" Carter asked.

"First I have to send a letter." Twilight said.

-----------Canterlot-----------

Celestia always hated sitting through those royal meetings. She would do anything to get out of them. Luna shared her belief.

In a puff of green smoke a letter appeared in front of Celestia that read.

   Dear Princess Celestia

We have found six strange creatures here in Ponyville, we spotted them running out of the Everfree. We request your presence immedia-

That was as far as she got before she stood up and said.

"Everyone, I'm so happ- I mean sorry to announce I must leave to take care of urgent matters dealing with the safety of Equestria. Carry on." She said standing up and walking out.

"Which also need my attention!" Luna said standing up running after her sister.

-----------Ponyville------------

The walk from Zecoras hut wasn't bad, just long. It was filled with Twilight asking questions about where we came from and others pertaining to our species.

We arrived at the castle and started to walk in when we saw two chariots flying toward the castle. They landed right next to each other about twenty five yards away from the castle.

"Celestia!" Twilight yelled as she ran up and gave the more than average size white mare a hug.

"Nice to see you too Twilight." She said looking over at us. "These must be those creatures you mentioned."

"You don't look like your from around here." The black mare said getting out of her chariot looking at us.

"We're not. We are actually trying to find out why we're here." I said.

"You must be the princesses." Carter said walking over to Celestia only to be stopped by the guards with their spears pointed at him.

We all drew our weapons and pointed them at the guards, all of us except Carter.

"Noble team, stand down." He said as we all put our weapons away.

"Guards, stand down as well. All I think he was trying to do was shake my hoof." She said as the guards back away. Carter shook her hoof and said.

"Lets talk about this inside." He said as he turned and started to walk toward the castle.

"Twilight, do you mind bringing us to a room where we can all speak?" Carter asked the mare.

"Sure, we can just go into the library. There plenty of space and seats." She said leading us into the castle. We walked for about fifteen minutes until we reached a large room with tons of book cases. When we entered we saw a pink mare reading a book.

"This is just my pupil, Starlight, don't mind her." She said as we entered the room. Getting an odd passing glance from the mare as she looked up and saw us. We found a table with enough seats and we all sat down.

I took my helmet off and set it on the table next to me.

"So is this your team?" Celestia asked.

"Yes this is my team, Noble Squad. We're a team for small things like saving a planet or taking out a covenant mega cruiser." He told her.

"What are you?" Luna asked.

"Were spartans, a high class of solider that has been genetically modified to be perfect in every way, Noble Squad, introduce yourselves." He told us.

"I am Kat. Noble two, tech expert." She said.

"I'm emile, Noble four, long range weapons." He said.

"Gorge, Noble five, I'm the squads tank." He said.

"Noble six, Newest member of noble squad." I said.

"Last but not least. Me, noble one team leader." He said.

"How did you get here?" Celestia asked.

"We honestly don't know how. We were all dead. Now were here." Carter said.

"Wait, if your dead, how are you here?" Luna asked.

"We actually don't know." He said.

"Do you care explaining to us how you died?" Celestia asked.

"Well, I really can't explain it. I remember it perfectly. But I just can't explain it." He said.

"Well how about we just watch." She said.

"What do you mean watch?" He asked.

"We can view your memories." She told him.

"How?" Kat asked.

"Simple memory spell." She said.

"You mean like magic, magic isn't real." Kat said.

"Oh contraire. Watch this." She said as we started to be dragged into an endless black void. "Who should we start with? How about you." She said pointing to Emile.

Then it started to lighten up and we saw the last glimpse I saw of Emile from his point if view. He fought viciously with an elite and found himself stabbed through the gut with an energy sword. He took the elite and threw him off.

"Six, your the only one left, you have to finish this." I heard Emile's last words one last time.

"Emile, Emile! NOOOOO!" I heard myself scream over comms, then it blacked out.

They all looked on the verge of tears.

"I guess I'll go next." Kat said walking forward as another memory came into view. It was just like I remember it. She got shot, bled out, and the memory ended.

"I'm next." Gorge said walking up.

It pulled up anther memory.

"Well there bad news, and more bad news." He said punching the nuke. "The only way off this slag heap is gravity." He said walking over to me and taking the necklace off his neck. "Other bad news is the detonator is busted, gonna have to fire it manually." He said picking me up and putting the necklace in my hands.

"Reach has been good to me, now its my turn to repay the favor. Happy landings six." He said throwing me out the airlock.

He then walked over to the bomb and taking out a pendent. He opened it and it had a picture of his daughter.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise." He said as a tear ran down his face and he pushed the button. The memory faded to black.

All the ponies were in tears now.

"I guess I'll be next." Carter said.

Another memory flared into life.

"I don't see another way around that scarab." He said circling around in his pelican. "It will all be worth it if dawn can take off. This is carter signing off." He said flying toward the scarab.

"Carter!" Emile yelled over the comms as he smashed into it. The memory faded.

"Last but not least." I said walking forward. The memory came back to me and was portrayed.

I was in a broke. battlefield, a couple if broke. buildings, and half the covenant army surrounding me. As they closed in and I was running out of ammo a, different elite ran toward me. This one seemed special. He looked different from the others. His armor represented someone of high importance.

He ran over to me, picked me up by the neck. And shoved an energy sword through me. The memory faded. We came back to reality and all the ponies were sitting in a puddle of their own tears.

"Well, enough about us, what about you." Carter said looking at them.
