I don't own My Little Pony, Hasbro, EA Games, Mass Effect, or Bioware. I would like to thank Dalek IX for letting me adopt this story. Enjoy the chapter. Warning, this chapter will have a LOT of gore and swearing, you have been warned.

Earth November 18Th 2020, Goddard International Space Center Australia

" The Barrier has today engulfed Sydney, Australia, with all other Major cities such as, Paris, New York City, and Beijing already having been consumed by the Barrier. Along with 98% of the rest of the world. Humanity has truly been put on the path of annihilation. Princess Celestia, has once again apologized for the Barrier's expansion and said that she did everything in her power to stop the barrier from moving, Claiming once again that Ponification is the only way to survive." The Reporter stated on one of the last broadcasts ever Televised. One of the men in the room turned it off after those words.

" Biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard coming from Celestia, you can see right through her lies!" Head of N.A.S.A. project Red crown, Gregory Crenshaw Yelled.

" I know my contacts from the CIA told me that they have a lot of evidence that the Barrier is being expanded by Celestia." H.L.F. head Micheal Heller replied, to which Crenshaw just sighed.

" I know, that's why I need you and as many as your Comrades to set up a perimeter around this space center. If the P.E.R. finds out about this project we're gonna need every able bodied man and women to defend it with their very lives. Once the Arks are completed we are going to head in the direction of, well it should be the Alpha Centauri system." Crenshaw stated before looking out the window.

" But what if the ships fail or the P.E.R. breach security and sabotage the systems?" Heller asked, while he was a natural born leader he had a nasty habit for looking at the worst possible outcome as the most likely one.

"You're getting paranoid, the security here is state of the art, plus the most likely system failure is that of the release time, and before you say anything I mean the type where the timer doesn't release us at the right time, so that's not really a loss." Crenshaw replied with a hint of smugness in his voice.

" Fine, how many Arks are their again?" Heller asked, before grabbing a glass and pouring himself some whiskey.

" Eight, each can fit up to two-hundred fifty men. They are also made of Carbon Nano-Tubes so they won't break." Crenshaw replied, the amount of time and money required to produce the amount of Nano-tubes was astronomical.

" Alright, so more than enough for all the families and men here correct?" Heller asked, halfway done with his Whiskey.

" Yes along with a few extra seats for twenty of each remaining animals left on the planet." Crenshaw replied, there was a reason they were nick-named arks after all.

" Alright I'll tell the men, you just make sure everything is in its right place." Heller replied, now finished with his Whiskey.

" Good, stay safe and remember to tell them that they are to keep a lid on it, I don't want this place to be a war zone until we are ready to launch." Crenshaw stated before letting loose a small chuckle. After his minor laugh Heller left the room.

" I'll never under stand how that man can keep his liquor so well." Crenshaw mused to himself.

Earth November 19Th Goddard International Space Center Australia

" Alright men listen up!" Heller's voice boomed over the loud speakers all over the center. " We are going to be guarding this Center with are very lives, Humanity will survive do I make myself clear!"

" You are to report to hanger A-15 for your security assignments, these are you schedules from now until doomsday!" Heller's voice boomed at a tone that could break glass. He even got a nickname for this voice, Sergeant Heller.

Heller's voice was responded to by a wave of " Sir yes Sirs"

" Good luck and Humanity be with you." Heller's voice responded in a less commanding and more gentle tone.

" Seems old Heller's heard some interesting news." H.L.F. lieutenant colonel George Prescott said to a few of his friends at their dining table.

" Yeah he does, we're at a space center what do you think there making, orbital weapons platforms so we can bombard the barrier from the top and take our land back." A soldier asked while eating one of his pork chops.

" Wouldn't put it past him, but I think there's a reason as to why they're taking as many animals as they can. You did read the bible about the Ark? If you ask me that's what they're planing." Prescott stated while swallowing a lump of Mashed Potatoes.

" Oh yeah with that whole flood thing, I remember. So if it's true do you think Humanity will survive?" The soldier asked while adding a little salt on his meal.

" If those eggheads at N.A.S.A. aren't trusting information about this project to the Equestrian government, then we should be fine." Prescott replied.

" Yeah you're right commander, ever since ole' Shepard took command of the remainder of the world in general, we've been looking into all of that Superstitious stuff, like Hitler, minus the genocide. If I remember correctly I heard Shepard talk about something called Wunderwaffe or something. Whatever they're planning Celestia can't know about it, so I can see why they're tripling security." Another soldier said.

" Hard to believe Shepard actually put on a smile for those creeps, I remember him putting on a actual smile for them. Then he got the C.I.A. reports on the Bureaus. Although he kept them confidential, he did tell Heller about it. Then poof, the H.L.F. was born." Prescott said, he, Heller, and Shepard served in the same platoon in both the Iraq and Iran wars, so they knew quite a bit about each other.

" Yeah well we should report to the Hanger for are assignment's, Heller's a very impatient man, so he will have your head if you're late." A new man said at the table.

" Commander Heller sir!" All of the soldiers in the room saluted.

" At ease. You should really get going, last time I heard Prescott's team gets the most interesting guard post." Heller said before walking out the Mess Hall with a bottle of Scotch in his hand.

" Heller and alcohol, I'll never understand how that man drinks so much and is still sober." Prescott joked to the rest of the table, earning him a few laughs and smiles.

" Well see you in the hanger in ten" A captain at the table said, before they departed to get their equipment.

" Warning, security breach on perimeter wall position eleven, this is not a drill all troops man your positions!" A voice boomed over the loud speakers.

" You heard the announcement get moving!" Prescott yelled while loading his M-16. A loud explosion drew everyone's attention to the southeast quadrant, where they could see about fifty ponies breaching the perimeter wall.

" Snipers take up positions, remember aim for the horns and wings, if not hit the head, I want them all dead now!" A new voice joined the fray, the voice of none other than Humanity's leader, John Shepard.

" Mr. President get down!" Prescott yelled at him before unloading a clip of ammo at 5 unicorns, killing three instantly wounding one and blowing the wings clean of the other one.

" No I will not it is my duty to protect Humanity and by God's name I fucking will." Shepard responded before taking a Peacemaker and firing two rounds at a Unicorn, who screamed in pain as the bullets hit his eyes.

" Fine Mr. President, but if you get ponified I will not hesitate to blow your head clean off." Prescott said, before reloading his Rifle.

" Alright Prescott, I would do the same for you to." Shepard said before picking up a Sniper Rifle and a Megaphone. " Everyone Listen up, kill all of the Ponies, I don't want a single one of those little sons of bitches to live to tell the tale of this place so kill all of them!" His voice echoed throughout the battlefield. A few minutes later the sound of gunfire ceased.

" Sir, we have received no casualties, and the entire attack party is dead." A Captain stated to Prescott, Heller, and Shepard.

" Good, we need to put all of the patrols on alert. Since we destroyed the entire attack party the P.E.R. will not doubt send a larger attack party. I want every single dead Unicorn's horn pegasi wing and flank mark they have. Crenshaw stated that he is working double time on the project, if all goes according to plan the arks will be ready by tomorrow to the next day, now move." Shepard stated before pulling a Cuban cigar out of his pocket and lighting it.

" Shepard why do you still smoke I thought you were a politician not a soldier." Heller asked with a small smirk on his face.

" I might be a politician but I am a soldier first. I don't care that much for politics, it gets on my nerves. I prefer Teddy Roosevelt's famous quote, Speak Softly and care a big stick. Which means keep your weapon's loaded and your red button closer." Shepard stated before smoking once again.

" So what's this fancy project for anyway?" Prescott asked while surveying the carnage of the battle.

" Well, like I said they're arks, plain and simple." Shepard stated.

" So we really are leaving OUR planet. It's truly a sad week indeed." Prescott said while he looked at his rifle.

" It's not so bad, I mean if we get to the desired planet, we could rebuild are strength and military, who knows maybe even meet some alien life and they help us." Shepard stated while throwing away his stub of of a cigar.

" The chances of finding life on the planets we're going to are zero percent likely." A new voice added to their conversation.

"Ah, Crenshaw I am glad you could make it we were just talking about Red Crown." Shepard stated before taking a look at the sky.

" Well to answer the question you are going to ask me yes by tomorrow the last of the systems should be operational, and good thing to. The P.E.R. might tell Celestia and she would try to help. Every time she helped us the situation went from bad to worse. With all the evidence we have we know that she is eradicating our species. That is the end of that" Crenshaw stated before taking a folder out from his briefcase. He handed the folder to Shepard.

" What's this for, some kind of um eating schedule?" Shepard asked confused as to what the folder detailed.

" Get the men ready by 11 P.M tomorrow, We are leaving at night, The arks are pitch black and their flames have been mixed with a chemical compound that make it a dark blue flame. As for sound it will sound only half as bad as a usual rocket. The things run on a mix of Fuel, Solar Power, and a Nuclear core, don't worry we have a tech team that will be awoken if repairs are needed." Crenshaw said, before leaving for the storage facility.

" Well we better get packing." Prescott stated before walking towards the barracks.

" I've gotta get all the alcohol I can carry." Heller stated with a smirk before running towards his quarters.

Shepard just smirked and went towards his personal library, to collect ALL of his books.

November 20Th Goddard International Space Center Earth

" 8 Hours until Launch." Crenshaw mumbled to himself, he was currently going towards the Mess Hall to discuss the Arks.

" So how are going to break it to them?" Shepard asked coming from the southwest corridor.

" I don't know, Shepard could you please Tell them the news. I just don't have the heart or the time do tell them."

" You know it's not nice to give your Leader an order." Shepard said with a smirk. " However, I will tell them, just simply because I owe you one from yesterday." Shepard stated before going to the Mess Hall.

" So that's why we are leaving, Celestia thinks that they can steal are Humanity, they will fail. Get all of the refugees and your family members and get ready to board." Shepard stated, followed by a wave of yes sirs.

" You are very good with speeches Shepard, are you sure you're not a politician?" Crenshaw said while taking a scoop of String Beans from the container.

" A politician Bullshit's everyone with fake promises. I told them that there is a good chance that something fails and we die. That's the difference between me and politicians." Shepard told him before reaching for a hot dog.

" Yeah your right, If we had people like you in government originally then we wouldn't be dealing with this load of Shit." Crenshaw said before taking a seat.

" Yeah I know, but the good news it that when we reach a new planet we'll have a clean slate for society. We could begin anew we adapt it's in our nature. We learn from our past mistakes and we overcome them. We are even going to overcome this. Then when the time comes we become a coiled spring, waiting for one word, attack." Shepard stated while grabbing a bottle of Mustard.

" Yeah you're right, all we need is time, and then the fun can begin in a few thousand years or so." Crenshaw stated.

" Whatever gets the task completed it's fine by me." Shepard stated after taking a bite of his Hot Dog.

" After dinner I need you to come down to the Arks. We need to see if the Cryogenic beds work. So I was wondering if you would, help test it." Crenshaw stated, smiling weakly.

" Fine, but if something goes wrong it's on your head, got it?. Shepard stated while taking another bite of his Hot Dog.

" Got it, get to Ark seven in half an hour. Remember, don't be late the test has to be done on time, so you better have everything you need." Crenshaw stated before finishing his meal.

" Alright, you don't have to tell me twice." Shepard stated while grabbing a napkin.

Half an hour later

" Alright I'm here, so where's the bed?" Shepard asked Crenshaw who was typing at a console.

" Right down the hall room C-19, mind the door though. It's sticky sometimes and the code for the room is, A-567." Crenshaw replied before logging off from the Terminal.

" Alright, how longs the test though?" Shepard asked.

" Half an hour, give or take a few minutes though." Crenshaw said while straightening his glasses.

" OK, thanks for the info, so what do I do exactly?" Shepard asked.

" Just lay down and close the top. The freezing process will then commence." Crenshaw stated before leaving the room.

" Alright take care now you hear?" Shepard said jokingly, before going to room C-19

"Let's see code A-567." He said to himself

" Access granted, President Shepard." The console displaced on the screen.

Shepard entered the bed and closed the lid. The sound of the cryogenics activating soon filled the room.

35 Minutes later.

" Shepard wake up, it worked" A voice told him.

" What happened, it felt like my third year in Duke all over again?" Shepard said. Opening his eyes he saw Crenshaw, Prescott, and Heller staring at him.

" That's just a side effect of the cryogenics, it should go away in a few minutes." Crenshaw stated while tapping at a terminal.

" You did good, you know I couldn't have done it." Heller stated while drinking a bottle of Vodka. " Here, consider this a reward for a job well done." Heller stated while taking out a bottle of Red Italian Wine.

" No thanks Heller, I feel like I drank too much already." Shepard said, while getting up out of the bed.

" Shepard's right everyone, he shouldn't drink alcohol for a day or two." Crenshaw stated.

" Lucky me." Heller said with a smile on his face.

" Well back to the matter at hand..." Crenshaw was interrupted by a blaring siren.

" Intruders detected on base, perimeter wall 19 breached, estimated force size believed to be about four hundred." The Announcer said over the speakers.

" Prescott hand me your radio." Shepard said.

" Of course Mister President." Prescott said.

" All units fire and retreat, withdrawal to the Arks now we are launching A.S.A.P. so move." Shepard yelled over the radio.

" The Land Mines,Reinforced Air Balloons, and Quick Sand will slow them down for a bit." Shepard said while looking at a console.

" The chances of the system being fully operational are not high if we launch now Mr. President." Crenshaw said while pulling out a tablet and looking over the Ark's system status.

" If we don't launch now we will all be dead, so prepare to launch the Arks!" Shepard yelled at Crenshaw.

" Fine Mr. President." Crenshaw said while doing system checks on the Arks.

" Good we launch in twenty." Shepard said while leaving the room.

A loud boom echoed though the hallways of Ark seven.

" Seems they've already reached the land mines." Heller said with a smile.

" No time to think about those Bastard's being blown up." Prescott said while looking at the hallways already being flooded with soldiers and refugees.

" I estimate about one fourth of the total population has boarded, sir. Crenshaw said to Shepard.

" Good, we will launch soon." Shepard said with a smile. " Tell them to go to their designated rooms." Shepard said with a smirk.

" Of course Mr. President." Crenshaw stated before relaying the order through the loudspeakers on all the Arks.

Twenty minutes later.

All of the pods have been boarded Mr. President. Shall we take off." Crenshaw asked Shepard.

" Of course, next stop the Alpha Centauri System." Shepard said with a hint of sadness in his voice. With that he pressed a yellow button and the rockets engaged.

" Oh and look at this signal we picked up. Something to remember Equestria by." Crenshaw said

" With the last traces of vile Humanity gone, and almost all of their technology destroyed we celebrate to a new era of peace and harmony." Princess Celestia said over the radio.

" Remind me that if she's alive when we get back here to chop her head off." Shepard said with seething anger.

" Will do Mr. President, and see you in a few centuries to Milena, Mr. President."

With that being said both entered their beds.

Ark group Ark Seven time unknown time unknown date

" Cryogenic storage timer activated. Unknown breach detected in data bay." The Ark's terminals said.

" They are survivors too, Vanguard contact Sentinel, tell them that there are others who survived." A squid shaped being said to another.

" I will send the Report to Sentinel, until then, lets get these ships to the nearest star, from the logs I can see that they're off course. They did not expect to end up in Dark Space. Bring them to the nearest star." Vanguard said to the other being.

" Yes, if they survived IT than they deserve a break." The being said.
