Equestria Crossover Confusion 2 HFC- Steel Horizon.
Chapter 1- Not quite a team
“So that’s your mission, as we understand it they’re rallying in this dimension and we need to know where the first strike shall fall. So get an audio recording or a photo of a map and get back. We believe that this army being built will be used to destroy all know universes and build a new order from the ruins” Whis explained to the warriors he’d gathered, they were gathered on Beerus’s planet and were sitting before a large display screen conjured by Whis “Any questions about the mission?”
On his right sat a man in dark green armour with a jet pack, his T-shape visor staring at him intrigued, Boba Fett and he raised his hand “Yeah, when do we get paid? You said this mission would pay a lot” Boba said calmly but the man sitting next to him snarled “Hey! You got a problem?!” Boba challenged the man jumping to his feet.
The man sitting next to Boba was taller than him standing over 7 feet tall, in equally dark green armour and his name was John-117 aka, Master Chief “As a matter of fact, yes, I have a problem and it’s you! You miss, Whis, mentioning the end of our worlds!” the man picked up Boba by the neck “I’d say you’d be a disadvantage to the mission, so why don’t I just snap your neck and be done with it?”
Master Chief heard the click of a gun behind him “Drop him, or the next move you make will be to the floor and I suggest you do it quickly” said a feminine voice from behind him, turning Master Chief found himself looking down the barrel of a pistol and a woman in a blue jump suit “Drop him!” Master Chief complied and Samus pointed her weapon at Boba “I suggest you watch your tongue from now on!”
Boba grumbled “This mission better pay a lot” to which Whis nodded and Boba added “Well then, I’m in”
“You sure you can handle it?” a voice called out from the far corner “I think all that armour will slow you down” the man wore a long blue jacket and a calm smile but he then added “But hey I don’t need armour”
“Who are you?” Samus asked looking at the man with interest.
Whis coughed and said “I feel it might be time to introduce everyone. This is Boba Fett, Samus Aran and Master chief” pointing to each one in turn, he then turned to a tall figure in grey power armour and said “This is Steelhooves” then turning once more to another figure in the room, who was dressed in orange and black armour “This is my good friend, Deathstroke” He then finally turned to the figure in the corner and said “This is the leader for the mission, Captain Jack Harkness. Any questions”
“I don’t need these losers” Deathstroke said quite suddenly “I can get what you need like that” he snapped his fingers for effect.
“Sadly I can’t allow that” said Master Chief and turned towards Deathstroke “This mission is far too important to be done by one man alone”
“Agreed” Jack said as he stood looking at the map “However Whis I gotta say. We could do with another member of our team” noticing everyone was giving him a curious look, he sighed and added “I just think, if we’re spotted, then the rest of us might have to buy time to allow the seventh member of our team to get back”
“Woah partners let me make a suggestion” a voice said from the door, they all turned to find themselves staring at a pony with wings and two loaded rifles “Hey, Steelhooves! Why didn’t you invite me to this little shindig?”
Steelhooves said with a very slow tone “Calamity. I don’t recall asking you to follow me. I don’t need a foalsitter” he then turned to Whis but kept speaking to Calamity “How much of the mission did you hear?”
“Yeah, well ya need me partner!” Calamity smirked as he walked up and turned to Jack “Heyo, my name is Deadshot Calamity but ya can just call me Calamity” he smiled around at the group, none of whom returned the smile and Calamity sighed “Oooo tough crowd…Ya’d think this lot had never heard a joke before!”
Captain Jack smiled and said “Well none of this lot have a great sense of humour, welcome aboard, Calamity!” Jack said hugging Calamity around the neck and turned to Whis “So do we know who the enemy has working for them?”
Whis’ sighed clearly not thrilled by the change in topic and said “We know the army gathering is enormous, easily beyond a billion strong and with varying factions. However sadly we only know of one faction because our previous scouting mission was interrupted by this faction…” the orb at the end of his staff shone bright and a large picture appeared “What if I told a story of creatures so powerful they can survive many headshot? Larger than most buildings, stronger than a thousand men and obsessed with killing everything in their path?”
“I’d say you were lying!” Boba Fett said as he looked at the image “They don’t look so tough! I could kill a thousand of them myself!”
“If you truly believe that then I have to tell you…you’re not the first” Whis said as he pulled out a small cake and took a small bite “These are called Titans in the realm they’re from. They only have on weak spot located just below the back of the head, if that spot can’t be hit then there will be no stopping them and normally they’re dangerous as an out of control terror. However the enemy has managed to tame these monsters and now are able to direct them to destruction. We became aware of the enemy after…they send a group of these titans to another planet called Mirinoi”
“No…what happened?” Samus asked looking horrified.
“The humans there were defended by a team of Power rangers but even their zords were overwhelmed” Whis said sadly and then showed, Mirinoi, over many images, many in room hoped, there would be at least one place unharmed but it was all a scene of complete destruction “Only one human, who happened to be a ranger made it off Mirinoi…Mike Corbett…we send him to Equestria, with a slight memory wipe and hoping he’d be okay. I can’t make this anymore clear, the Lost Galaxy rangers were one of the most powerful ranger teams but against one thousand titans…they were no match. As a result all the humans on Mirinoi were wiped out”
“Pardon my curiosity. Then shouldn’t we ask a Power ranger to join us?” Jack asked, this being the first time he’d heard about the fall of Mirinoi “They might be very useful”
“Hmm indeed they might be but Beerus feels you were our best hope and the rangers might draw too much attention” Whis explained as he then added “I need to make this clear…getting into a fight with the enemy will end in death…we need the information and not dead heroes!”
Master Chief coughed and said “Well that means…we just need to get the info and get out”
“Sounds like a plan to me” Samus said as she stood up “If this army is coming…it’s our duty to stop them and besides…looks like more than one needs to be given a one way ticket straight to hell!”
“Amen to that!” Deathstroke laughed as he stood up “So when do we leave?”
“As soon as you get all the supplies and equipment you need. We’ll explain our exit strategy just before you leave” Whis said as the wall disappeared from behind him. This revealed a massive warehouse full of new and old toys “Take whatever you need and when you’re ready….Meet me at the door numbered 7” he disappeared and the gathered warriors headed for their needed equipment.
“Alright! This looks like my size” Calamity said as he picked up a new assault rifle “Looks like this puppy just rolled off the assembly line!” he inhaled a deep breath as he smelled the finish on the weapon “Ah! A Good year and what’s this aww looks like ya even have the year of….make” a tear rolled down his face and he added “This was made a year before the bombs fell”
“Hmm” Master Chief said behind him “I take it you’re not from a world of peace?” to which Calamity nodded his head “Well you’re in good company, no one here has had a charmed life and when I’m not sleeping, I’m fighting but that’s just what the SPARTAN-II Program was all about”
“Oh, well ma world is a bit of a...dump, Steelhooves and I come from a world ravaged by Megaspells” Calamity explained and Master Chief gave him a long look that gave Calamity the impression he was confused or annoyed “Oh a Megaspell is like this big weapon that leaves massive radiation and death in its wake for hundreds of years” Calamity added noticing Deathstroke shaking his head “What’s wrong?”
“Kind of sounds like a nuclear bomb” Deathstroke said as he polished his sniper rifle and checking the sight for it “Still that’s just what I think” he then gave a dark chuckle “Still as Master Chief said none of us have lead a charmed life…so I’d say we’re the best group for the job, I will admit that playing in a team isn’t usually my style but if it means getting the information and returning alive I’m all for it”
Samus walked up, before letting out a low chuckle and said “I hate to say it our chances aren’t the best…we number less than an ideal number I’d like our chances better if there was at least one more of us” she then added “But I suspect there’s a good reason we were picked and no one else was selected”
Whis suddenly flew over “Well if you insist…I have found one more member for your team. Come on over” from behind a shelve walked a short furry creature carrying a rifle “Everyone this is Rocket!”
“A Racoon?!” Deathstroke said clearly unimpressed “Carrying an AK47 isn’t going to win us many fights!”
“Hey, Asshole! Shut up!” Rocket snapped “Or yours will be the first ass I kick! You understanding me?” Rocket smirked as he walked up to Deathstroke staring up at him.
“Yeah, you’re a flaming Raccoon!” Deathstroke snapped before Rocket or Deathstroke could do a thing, Master Chief pulled Deathstroke away from Rocket and Samus pulled away “Hey! Let go of me!”
Rocket looked up at Samus and smirked “Hey, I’m happy where I am right now” he then looked at her weapon and said “Sweet make…bet that’d be a lot of fun to shoot!” he gave a slight chuckle as he then added “So you coming too?”
“Yes” Samus said shortly and dropped Rocket on the floor “You know when I pushed for more team members this is not what I meant. I mean we already have two ponies and now a trigger happy Raccoon? It all seems a little silly!” she said this as she pulled on her armour.
Rocket groaned, looking at her as she pulled on her armour, before saying and looking slightly unhappy “Lady, I have seen more crazy stuff in Star lord’s quarters than you’ll believe. So nothing really takes me by surprise anymore” he then stood up and picked up his weapon before turning to Whis “I’m ready to go, whenever these losers are ready to get moving”
Whis nodded and said “Alright, so are you all ready to leave?” there was a collection of nods and once the others had joined them. Whis walked them to the door marked as seven “Alright I need to make this very clear. From this point onwards…there is no going back and chances are that we’ll be lucky to get one of you back. So I need you to assign someone in charge of getting the info to the portal and this person will be your number 1 priority after you retrieve the information. So who is it to be?”
Jack stepped forward and chose “Sorry as captain of this mission, I’ll choose and it’s you, Boba” pointing to Boba Fett “I reckon even if we fail, your armour will record everything we see and while other members of our team can do that too…Master Chief is stronger and Samus’ armour is tougher. So it’s you”
Boba snarled but nodded “Yeah, I understand but we’re not going to fail! So it won’t come to that” he fumed “It’ll be pretty annoying if I’m the only one who makes it back” he then added “But you all better keep up”
Steelhooves cut in and asked “So what is our exit strategy?” he sounded bored but it was clear he was eager to get on with the mission.
Whis smiled, his staff shone bright and an image appeared, three locations were marked on the map and pointed to the location marked with an A “This is where the portal, you’re about to go through will open up but it’s important to bear in mind that we can’t open the portal up in the same location twice. Also the portal will only be open for twenty seconds” he then pointed to the second location marked with a B “Our first scout was able to get a rough idea of where the enemy’s camp is but bear in mind that the titans interfered thus this information could be wrong. So this is a rough idea of where they are, remember any information is helpful but we need to know who’s running the show” he paused and added “If your spotted…the mission is a failure. Unless you kill the one who spotted you”
“So we need to ensure we do this free from being spotted?” Steelhooves asked clearly unhappy “I’m not sure the zebras would have succeeded at this mission!”
“Sadly whatever information we can gather is a blessing” Captain Jack said darkly and then turned to the group “This is your last chance…there’s no shame in choosing to turn down this mission”
Rocket snapped “Oh come on! Why would any of us be here at this point, if we were just going to turn and run?” he smirked “I for one won’t back down. I don’t care if I have to go alone, it’ll just make the job more fun!”
Deathstroke smiled under his helmet “Well, finally we agree on something. I’m ready to move!”
Whis continued from where he left off, pointing to the final spot on the map marked with a C and said “So we get to the final point on the map. Once you get all the information you can get to this point and we’ll open the portal but please keep in mind. It might take us twenty minutes to open the portal, so don’t think by running back to this it’ll be ready and open. So if your spotted and your running to this point to run from the enemy…you might be in for a horrible surprise” he paused and then added “Also sadly, the portal will open up in an alternate world but luckily Jack, it’s one you know very well. It’ll open in a place called Scotland and hopefully a few more of our allies will be waiting for you there to help…in case you bring any unwelcome friends. Well I think that’s everything…any Questions?”
Calamity nodded and asked “Yeah, could ya open the portal?”
Whis nodded “Best of luck” the portal opened and all within the recon team stepped through the portal into an uncertain future “Lord Beerus, looks like our die is cast and we’ll have to get our students training finished faster”
“Regardless, it’s all to risk…we need to know our enemy…now more than ever” Beerus explained as he walked up behind Whis “We’ll need to start recruiting the heroes we’ll need to fight. Are you all ready?” turning to a group of five gathered around him “Each of you, now know the stakes before us and your comrades are helping the training of our best hope. Now we need the worlds that have forces that can fight the enemy to gather…go!”
“Sir, we’re ready! Let’s move!” one of the five said.
Author's Note
Well that didn't come out quite how I wanted it but it'll do. SO here's the thing, I have two heroes in mind to meet Captain Jack's team in Scotland but that might not be enough to deal with the enemy forces that might come through. As of this moment onto about chapter 6, I'm open to suggestions and don't feel restricted. Suggest as many heroes or villains as you like to meet them.
So with that said please, remember to like, comment and have a nice day!
