Author's Note

This is something that I truly enjoyed writing because I fucking love Crysis, specifically Crysis 2. This is a what if fic.

The MC is my own character and that is all I own. Crysis and My Little Pony belong to their respective owners.

Ch 1: Sentinel's arrival

"And there's a little more of that coming up. So, Gary, who do you like?"

"Well, I'll tell you so far, I like what I'm seeing here in New York!" Manhattan appeared on the screen. The city looked amazing back then. The sidewalks were full people going to work, the occasional traffic jams and family owned businesses

"They got a pretty strong team as usual. That's in the eastern and the western. And I'm liking San Francisco. But Los Angeles has the sleeper." New York, The Big Apple, The city that never sleeps. Home to the largest building in the Unites States and Lady Liberty.

On the sunniest of days, children would go on to the park and play with their friends or simply have a family outing

Several images of New York pop up as the news report goes on, including wide shots and birds eye views of the city, along with a street cam shot and a park with several children kicking a ball.

"Okay. So, we're looking at a New York, San Francisco at the finals or possibly L.A. You heard it here first, folks! We'll call Gary in at the end of the season. Heh heh. That's all for sport. Back to you guys in the studio."

"Thanks for the workout!"

"Thanks guys. And that's not all we're following. Here's Dan at the health desk."

Chaos resumes as firefighters, C.E.L.L. enforcement officers, and regular police officers attempt to round up rioters all over the city. As the riots get more frequent, C.E.L.L. enforcement officers give up and simply begin shooting rioters.

My vision was filled with images of the Alien spore that coursed around my DNA. I didn't feel infected nor did I come across any infected personnel.

I am First Lieutenant Samuel Rodriguez of the Marine Corps. My mission was to find and extract a VIP by the name of Nathan Gould.but that didn't go as planned.

Me and my squad were dropped off in Brooklyn in the middle of a riot. My younger brother, Captain James Rodriguez was supposed to beach near the statue of Liberty but was ambushed by the invaders.

When I first heard that James, my own little brother died, I knew I had to make them pay, so I left my squad and headed straight to New York City.

As I did, I've been getting reports of a man wearing a highly advanced suit running around the city, taking down C.E.L.L and the Ceph alike. This man showed that he was a danger to mankind if he were to get out of the city.

The Tin Man is what they called him and sometimes Prophet but I knew someone needed to take the menace down. So I followed his tracks up to Manhattan.

There I took my chance and took him by surprise. With nothing but a SCARAB assault rifle and Glock, I managed to do it and shot him in the head but before I left, I wanted to see who the man behind the mask was.

When I took of that mask, I felt my whole world fall apart. The man was James, there he was, dead in a pool of his own blood.

I hugged the corpse, crying out my apologies while doing so. I've murdered my own brother, I never thought I'd ever do it but I did and I wish I never did.

I had closed his lifeless eyes before reciting the prayer for Our Holy Father. Just as I finished, I heard someone speaking through his helmet.

Putting the helmet on, I saw a Heads Up display pop up and a picture of Nathan Gould was on the top left, telling a man named Prophet to meet him in his lab.

I took off the helmet and looked at James, seeing his Dog tag around his neck before yanking it off and putting it in my pocket. After a minute of thinking I thought that the least I could do was to finish whatever it is he started and donned the suit.

It hurt when I put it on, it was almost like it was fusing with me but as I put on the helmet and looked down at myself, I saw that I looked unprepared for anything, so with that it mind, I decided to add a few things to the suit.

After adding a few things, I left to find Dr.Gould’s Lab. I've promised our little sister, Alice a better future and I've already broken that promise and I will not stop until the future is better.

Cutting to a few days later, today, I was heading towards Time square to help with the evacuation. Colonel Barclay, the head of the Evacuation had reported major Ceph movements near Time Square and were closing in on them.

When I arrived, I was already too late and it was a bloodbath. Seeing this didn't stop me from joining the fight. I’ve fought bravely along with the remaining Marine soldiers until three V-Tols arrived guns blazing.

It only gave us a few seconds before Pingers broke through the barricades. I tried to hold them off but was blown away by a blast of the Pingers weapon.

Nearly dead on the floor, I heard Barclay call out for me, yelling at me to get on quick. So with the remaining strength I had, I pushed myself up and jumped onto the ledge of the ramp.

I was slipping and Barclay saw this before taking my hand and trying to pull me up. The Pinger wasn't idle long enough for us to escape and looked at us.

As the Pinger fired and hit the left wing, I started to slip further down and saw that Barclay was as well, so I knew what I had to do.

“Major.” I said gaining his attention.

“They need you more than they need me but remember my name, Sentinel.” I said before letting go of his hand and began to fall. As I faced downwards, I saw that a Spire was erecting right below me.

I closed my eyes waiting for my inevitable demise before everything turned white.

Meanwhile in another World

Canterlot, a city for the rich and home to the two deities who rule the night and day.

Today was supposed to be a tremendous occasion. The Princess of Love, Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor were to be wed today. Key word, were.

Armor’s little sister, Twilight Sparkle and her friends were invited to the wedding but Twilight wanted answers. She did not know who this Cadenza was until she was revealed to be Twilight Sparkle’s old Foalsitter, Cadence.

But something was a foot, Cadence was different, mean, bossy and supposedly controlling Shining Armor with a spell. Twilight noticed her drastic change and had informed her friends only for them to not believe a word Sparkle said.

Defeated, she left to wander the halls of the Palace and had met up with Cadence only this time she was revealed to be an imposter and trapped Twilight in the Crystal Caverns along with the real Cadence.

Having found the real Cadence, she used a spell to take them both to the doors of the wedding and burst through them. The imposter, seeing the real Cadence revealed her identity as Chrysalis, Queen of The Changeling race.

Celestia finally seeing her grave error fought the Queen but lost. Twilight and her friends quickly made their way towards the Vault, to grab the Elements of Harmony but were captured and brought back to the Queen.

“You won't get away with this! Twilight and her friends will–” Cadenza was rudely interrupted by the large doors opening, revealing Twilight and her friends captured by the Changelings.

“You were saying? You do realize the reception's been cancelled, don't you? Go! Feed!” The Queen declared as she looked over the balcony, seeing her plan in action. Laughing, The Queen turned to look at Twilight's friends.

“It's funny, really. Twilight here was suspicious of my behavior all along. Too bad the rest of you were too caught up in your wedding planning to realize those suspicions were correct!” The Queen stated before erupting into laughter.

“Sorry, Twi. We should've listened to you.” Applejack, one of Twilight's best friends and the Element of Honesty apologized.

“It's not your fault. She fooled everypony.” Twilight stated in defeat.

“Hmm, I did, didn't I?
This day has been just perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
Everypony I'll soon con-” The Queen was interrupted by something crashing through the roof, landing in the center of the room.

Everyone heard the noise of something crawling out before anything was said, the Queen saw red in the dust before it settled, revealing a very tall stallion wearing a set of strange armor.

Everyone was utterly shocked and confused, even the Queen herself was at a loss for words. The Queen, not knowing this stallion, commanded a drone to get rid of him.

As the drone came into close proximity with the stallion, he attacked with such speed that would rival Rainbow Dash's. The kick sent the drone onto the wall before sliding down onto the floor, lifeless.

Two word, only two word could be heard through the silence.

“Threat Detected.”
