Where No Man Has Gone Before

You are Jason Queer, or as your friends like to call you, Jason Bourne and my partner in crime is EX-1938 or Xavier. You might be asking yourself "Why?". They call you that because you are the best hand-to-hand combat specialist in the fleet. You are a pale white, 22 year old man with short black hair and blue eyes that would make sapphires jealous. You joined up when you were only 18, but you quickly climbed the ranks to the youngest pilot ever. When the fleet found out about the Ark, you and Xavier were tasked with breaching the northern perimeter. Lets just say one of us didn’t make it out in one piece. You were dealing with a Ronin and Northstar at the time until a Scorcher came up from behind and slammed your titan into a sharp rock formation. Your titan was going to send destruct soon and you needed to get the core before you leave. NO ONE gets left behind, especially friends! As soon as you got the SEAR kit, you hijacked a shuttle to get back to the fleet.

Needless to say, it was a COMPLETE failure. But when you put in a request to get a new Vanguard, it was denied by the higher ups. You were furious until they told you what they were planning, which were to give you the new top-of-the-line Expedition titan. This titan is designed to carry two primaries, a giant sword, supplies, and multiple subsystems along with a best friend! It looked like a cross between a Vanguard and a Legion, its legs, arms, and chassis looks like a Legion while it was tall like a Vanguard. You were ecstatic about this and you took no time in placing Xavier back into a chassis. When he came back online, he and you got used to the new chassis we had and as soon as that was done we reported back to the higher ups. You had him fitted with a XO-06 chaingun and a 40mm tracker cannon with a 3-D printer on the back for ammunition.

Right now in the present time, you are currently on a ship to take Troy. Yeah, you’re so excited to use this thing! It was 30 seconds to titanfall and you were waiting for that fateful moment to go to battle.

" 20 seconds to titanfall! " The intercom said as we neared our drop sight. There were several other pilots here, but none of them had an Expedition.

" 10 seconds to titanfall! " The intercom said over the clanking of metal and boots. You got inside your titan and awaited titanfall.

" Welcome back, Jason. I’ve missed you. " Xavier said in his usual robot serious tone with a hint of sarcasm (Just imagine BT for now.). You swear, these robots are becoming more sentient by the month.

"Yeah yeah, I missed you to, buddy. Be a pal and make sure you dont blow up again." You chuckled with the reply.

" Affirmative, that would be advisable." You give a short laugh.

"If I have to pull your ass out of the wreckage again, your going to buy me drinks one day."

" Correction: My ass would be too heavy for you to carry, thus I will never buy you a drink." You give a snort and wave your hand in amusement.

"You and your corrections can kill an entire system."

" Prepare for titanfall!" A couple of seconds later we were jettisoned from the ship and down to the planet surface. Your titan broke the sound barrier and quickly crashed onto the surface.

As you were getting up, your motion sensors were picking up several titans on their way here. You waited for the others to join you before charging out to meet the enemy titans. As soon as they crested the green hill, all hell broke loose. You were using my 40mm to snipe any ground troops that were trying to get over here until there was movement next to you. You had no time to react as a cloaked fist slammed into your chassis, thankfully the shield held up. You whirled around with your titan’s blade in hand and gave a diagonal strike into the enemy Ronins shoulder. It took little effort to sever it and punch a hole in its head, killing the pilot within. With that done you swiveled back around while simultaneously magnetizing the sword to the titan and pulling out your XO-chaingun. You scanned the battlefield for possible targets until your sights landed upon a spare Northstar that was sniping from afar. You used your dashes to get over to it quickly before it got the chance to fire and unloaded my entire clip into the head of the cockpit, again killing the pilot inside. As you turned around, Xavier grabbed your attention.

" Jason, there is a missile heading towards the battlefield. Recommend doing something. "

"No shit!" You looked at the missile coming towards us. There was no way that we could get away in time, so you picked the most cliché thing in existence. You were going to sacrifice yourself for your brothers-in-arms and there was no stopping you. You ran and ran towards the missile. Towards your death. But you weren’t going to die alone; Xavier is with you every step of the way. As we got to the point of interception, we waited for the time to be right.

" It has been an honor being your titan, Pilot Jason Queer. It has been a greater honor being your friend. " The missile was getting closer.

"It was an honor being your pilot and friend, EX-1938. I’ve always thought of you as my BIG brother and ill be seeing you in heaven, my friend." The missile was seconds away.

" Ill be waiting with that drink." He managed to say before launching us into the path of the missile. It impacted with the front of the chassis, but instead of a giant explosion, there was a gigantic black mass that expanded upon impact. Within seconds, it consumed you and Xavier before collapsing on itself, sending them to god knows where.... ( Does this make me god? )

You woke up in the cockpit with alarms blaring and the feeling of weightlessness. "Xavier what the fuck is going on?!" no response "Xavier?!"

" Prepare for titanfall... "

" OH SHI- " You were knocked unconscious from the impact, leaving Xavier to handle things....

Canterlot throne room

No nobles. That’s all Celestia can think about as she stared at the door, waiting for her moment of peace to end. She was on her throne with her niece, Princess Cadance, right next to her in a large chair, waiting for the day of babbling nobles to begin. That WAS the plan until a giant metal monster crashed through the roof and into the middle of the throne room. Celestia took a defensive stance, preparing to fight this metal being, while Cadance stood there with a look of concern and fear on her face. As the dust cleared, they saw the being encompassed by a glowing, hexagonal force field. A closer look told Celestia that this thing obviously was wearing armor or is not organic because it had no signs of life on it, not even a magical signature. She slowly stepped forward towards the creature until it suddenly stood up to its full height, which went all the way to the ceiling. Its force field dropped and it looked at Celestia with its glowing blue eye.

" Initiating first contact protocol: Greetings, I am EX-1938, a titan created to be linked with a pilot. Unfortunately, our unexpected crash has knocked my pilot unconscious. Are you friendly? I suggest you use your words wisely because I was created to protect. " It warned before a laser shot from its eye and started scanning Celestia. She in turn jumped back in surprise, but the laser followed her and proceeded to scan her. " Analysis complete: Alicorn, anthropomorphic in appearance, multi-colored main and tail, approximately weighs 158.757 kilograms " Celestia shot the titan an annoyed glare " and regalia represents a status of royalty. " Celestia and Cadance were wide-eyed and staring at the titan in awe. Celestia snapped out of her reverie and put on a hard glare.

"Why have you broken into my palace?" She asks calmly yet sternly.

" A thousand apologies for the roof. Hypothesis: We have been transported to a different plain of existence by a black hole. Scans indicate that my pilot is going to need that drink when he wakes up." Xavier answers in his robotic voice. Comprehension dawns on Celestia as Cadance steps in front of the metal giant with concern on her face.

"Where is your pilot? He might need medical help!" She pleads.

" Negative, he does not require aid. As for where he is, he is inside my chamber. " He points at his chest to where Jason was. Cadance exhaled in relief, she hated when somepony gets hurt.

"Would you like to stay here until your pilot wakes up?" She asks in a curious tone.

"Affirmative, it might take some time for pilot Jason Queer to wake up." Cadance grows a huge smile on her face.

"Great! I can’t wait to meet him!" She says excited by the prospect of meeting an alien. An ALIEN!
