Back Into It

(Orbiting Equis’ Moon)

       Deep within the Super mac station known as Ranger Station, within its darkened Command Centre,  a console came alive revealing page after page of code zooming across its screen moments before it vanished and a message began flashing on It's screen as the Super mac cannon charged up.

          “Activating Slipspace cannon!” a automated voice said as the station rotated to point to an empty section of space before firing, once it fired, it rotated and pointed to a new location and fired again… this repeated several times before the station powered down just as the station came back into view of the USNC Fleet.

(Reach’s Redemption)

        “hmm that's weird?” the captain said as she looked at the large screen in front of her which was monitoring the fleet and surrounding space. “Is this correct?” She asked one of the crew.

          “Yes Ma’am,  ten different slipspace ruptures detected” a crew member said moments before alarms began to blare and the screen suddenly revealed several dozen purple shapes, two gold and eight grey. “Covenant Battle group detected along with two Guardians and several unknown vessels” He shouted.

            “Alert the fleet… I want marines on the planet to prepare for an invasion!” She ordered.

             “Yes Ma’am! “ Several voices responded.

             “Captain, majority of the Covenant battle group has just jumped close by!” The radar officer said.

               “Attention USNC Fleet, this is Ria’sin of the Swords of Sanghelios,  we desire your assistance in dealing with these Covenant forces and their false gods” An Female Elite’s Voice asked but before the Captain could respond,  another answered.

              “This is Vice Admiral Sion of the UNSC, we will help but how are we going to deal with those guardians? “ a male voice asked as as half of the UNSC moved from the main group and joined the Sangheili battle group.

               “We have discovered a way to remove a Guardian’s ability to hold itself together” Ria said. “I recommend you deploy your forces to the planet to stop the Covenant from gaining a foothold” She said.

                 “I Agree, Captains, deploy your troops and see if you can gain the assistance of the locals” Sion ordered as the captain looked at her crew in shock.

             “Who forgot to mention that we found the Vice Admiral who was presumed dead three years ago?” She asked as the crew looked at each other.

(Armonia, Sanctuary base, Radio Room)

             “Morning Sergeant” Lucy said to a white Minotaur who was half asleep using the radio.

               “Oh Captain, how are you?” He asked his commanding officer.

               “Good and yourself Frost Back?” She asked.

                “Alright but well. .. I have been getting messages over the radio” He said as the Elf gave a confused look and walked over as Frost gave her the headset.

                  “It’s faint but it think I can boost the signal” She said unplugging the headset as magic surrounded her hand and placed it on the machine seconds before a voice screamed from it.

             “TWO ASSAULT CARRIERS HAVE BROKEN THROUGH THE BLOCKADE, DON’T LET THOSE COVENANT BASTARDS DEPLOY TROOPS ON THE PLANET!” the voice screamed as Lucy took a step back.

             “Captain… aren't the Covenant the same guys who assisted Daine five years ago?” Frost asked as she nodded.

              “Sound the alarm… I want our forces and armor protecting every Armonian town and the left over are to go bring Tony back.” She ordered as the Minotaur nodded and began to do as he was ordered.

(Above the Crystal Empire)

              “Alpha through Delta are ready for drop sir” A ODST commander said through his radio as he got comfortable inside of his drop pod.

              “Give them hell Troopers” The Vice Admiral said.

               “Yes sir!” The Commander said as he deployed with the other squads to the planet below.

(Ponyville)

            “Move!” a Marine Colonel as the the bay door of the pelican opened and three dozen marines deployed. “I want Anti Air and Anti Armour set up now!” He shouted as he watched a team of marines mount a Scorpion tank and drive towards the centre of the town as the pony civilians got out of the way. “Private! Where are our armour?” He demanded.

           “ETA three minutes sir” She responded.

             “Alright, Sniper Teams, there, there and there!” He ordered pointing to Twilight’s castle,  the Hospital and the clock tower just as three more pelicans landed and unloaded several dozen more human marines along with several warthogs.  “Marines, I want those Hogs patrolling the outskirts!” He ordered as the three jeeps were mounted by the Marines and took off.

          “Who the buck are you? Why are Armonian marines here?” a rainbow maned blue pegasus mare asked as she got up In the Colonel’s face.

            “My name is Colonel Steven Bell, and we are UNSC Marines… humans” He said as the mare blinked in shock. “Now if you don't mind, we are preparing to repel an invasion” He said stepping passed the mare. “Private, ETA!” he shouted.

            “in bound Scorpions and Wolverines… and Spartans” She replied.

            “Alright, no Cyclops?” He asked.

              “No they are deployed at the Capital due to a restricted combat zone so we got their heavy armour instead” She replied as several more pelicans landed with more marines and vehicles.

               “Omega reporting for duty sir!” said five Grey armored Spartans saluting.

               “Glad you're here Spartans, I want you to run support for the fire teams and emplacements” He ordered as the Spartans nodded and moved out.

                “Um excuse me” a soft voice said causing the Marine Commander to look at a butter pegasus with a pink mane looking at him nervously before squeaking and fainting.

                 “Corpsman! “ He shouted as a Medic ran over and looked at the pony.

                 “Um sir, I'm not a vet” He said.

                  “Don't get smart with me Sargeant,  take her to the hospital” he ordered as the medic nodded and picked up the pony.

                   “CONTACT! Promethean soldiers!” a Marine shouted moments before gunfire was heard.

                   “Shit,  so much for only Covenant forces” The Colonel growled as a pair of Covenant Liches flew in and deployed hunters, jackets,  grunts and Elites “Fuck” He growled as he rose his rifle only to stop when he noticed half of the aliens were female. “Swords, we need support at the south west line!” He ordered as the Swords of Sanghelios nodded as a golden Elite shouted in an Alien language sending most of the forces to the front lines while three Zealots and their commander walked over to the Colonel. “This still feels weird” Bell said as he lowered his Assault Rifle.

         “Yes, yes it does” The Female Zealot said as she offered her hand to the marine.

         “But it's good to have extra firepower” He said taking her hand and shaking it as several more pelicans landed. “Wait more?” He asked as the bay doors opened and massive armored marines exited and raised their weapons to the Elites. “Hold your fire marines, These are allies!” He shouted before noticing that they weren't humans.

        “Who the buck are ordering my men and women around!” A tall armored black horse woman with wings and a horn stated as she stepped out from the group of soldiers as they headed towards the fighting.

          “Sorry,  their gear is similar to ours ma’am. .. so you are the a local commander?” He asked as the mare removed her helmet to reveal her slitted eyes and ethereal mane.

            “No he is currently In the Crystal Empire, I am one of his lovers, Queen of the Night, Nightmare Moon” She said.

            “great Royalty, the name is Colonel Steven Bell of the UNSC Marine Corp” He said as he got a confused look from the mare.”What?”.

              “interesting, my lover has the same last name and is also a… well former member of the UNSC Marine Corp “She said as she replaced her helmet.

            “interesting but right now we have Prometheans to deal with” He said as loud rumbling was heard and two massive purple Cruisers flew over head while being chased my a even larger Vessel.

            “The ‘Spirit of Defiance’ Super Carrier is giving them hell” The Elite Zealot said as he chuckled just as several Large Drop pods landed before opening to reveal Covenant forces.

            “More Swords?” The Marine asked as the Zealots activated their energy swords. “Or not” He said just as Nightmare Moon’s horn glowed causing all the disembarking covenant to be pulled back into the drop pod before it was crushed with them Inside. “Shit!”

(Ranger Station)

           “So this is what Baixao was up to?” a hooded woman stated as she looked through a console in the Space Station’s Command Centre. “Ah so Tony made it back… I should probably deal with these guys before returning to him” She said as she typed into the monitor before groaning. “Come on you piece of shit… okay so I have to mark the targets… I should probably get the humans back to their ships” She muttered as she looked out the window to see a Guardian obliterate several UNSC Cruisers. “But first let's test out this Super Mac” She said as she placed her hands on the console and channeled her energy into it.

        The Super Mac station began to rotate so the cannon pointed towards the first Guardian and began to charge as Dark blue,  Gold and green energy surrounded the tip before firing a round surrounded in the colorful energy, resulting in the round tearing through the Guardian as if it were paper, causing it to detonate as the round continued towards the planet at high speed.

        “Shit!” She growled.

(Crystal Empire)

        “Who the Fuck am I supposed to be shooting!” Tony shouted as he emptied a Assault rifle Into a Promethean Knight causing it to shatter and vanish into thin air as an Elite cut another into which was trying to sneak up on the man.

           “Just shoot the fucking Prometheans!” An ODST shouted.

            “What the fuck is a Promethean?” Tony asked as he killed another two of said enemies.

             “The glowing yellow dicks! “ Another ODST replied moments before he took several energy blasts to the chest, killing him.

               “IS COMING HYDRA!”  Shouted a Marine as Tony looked up to see large purple deformed scarab coming towards the city.

              “Um okay, Umbra!” Tony shouted as the dark Grey Mare ran passed him and used her magic to create Black crystals around the machine’s joints and main cannons seconds before a colorful Mac shell came down on top of it, destroying it. Tony was about to say something before a massive explosion occurred nearby sending the humans, Armonians and Covenant flying.

       “Damn” Tony growled In pain as he pushed himself off the ground as a high pitch ringing was the only sound he could hear. He looked around and saw dozens of Prometheans appearing and pinning down survivors on the ground and prepared to kill them as a Knight kicked Tony onto his back and pointed it’s weapon at the man’s head moments before it began to scream loudly in pain causing Tony to look at the others which were doing the same.

          “You all have been very bad… now die!” A familiar female voice said as the prometheans disintegrated before a hooded person appeared before Tony and pulled him to his feet a few moments before she wrapped her arms around him. “It's good to see you again… even though It's been like a week… yea” she said as Tony gave her a confused looked before she removed her hood.

        “Abigail! “ He said in shock as he looked at her.

         “Yes… now we better head inside and let everyone else finish off the stragglers” She said as she lead him inside an evacuated house and sat him down on a chair.

          “How the fuck are you here?” He asked as she smiled and sat next to him before leaning on him.

            “I got teleported onto the Guardian that was attacking the Reach’s Redemption and the Plague Doctor… and then I just recreated what I did with you… unfortunately this was as the Guardian jumped to a conflict between the Swords of Sanghelios and the Covenant Remnants… so they came also but don't worry because I destroyed one of ye Guardians and the other was torn apart by the Swords” She said as she held his hand.

         “Um okay… but why are you being all lovey dovey? “ He asked her as she looked at him.

           “Simple, I watched all you helmet’s and Data pads recordings while you slept… and well when I went rampant, seeing ands I have a shorter shelf life then normal AI… I kind of became possessive of you… and wanted to keep you but then I fixed myself by making a body out of your magic” She said as he nodded. “And also I am new to touching things… well people anyway” She said as she squeezed his hand.

        “Alright, and how did you kill the glowing guys?” He asked her.

         “Well I was aboard their ship and I well downloaded their self destruct command” She said as Tony nodded cautiously. “Oh and before you ask, I'm not insane like Baixao so I won't torture or murder people… well you at least” she said to him.

           “Great. .. just what I need right now, I all powerful, incredibly intelligent clingy entity made up of my own magic” He said sarcasticly.

              “I believe the words you are looking for are ‘Fuck Me’ “She Giggled as he groaned.
