UNSEALING THE HUSHED CASKET

Vinyl Scratch, a crewpony for Cryo Two, was manning her station when a beep from her console alerted Vinyl to something.

Looking at her computer, she gasped. There, on the screen, were the words "PRIORITY ALPHA - UNSEAL THE HUSHED CASKET."

"Holy crap," she whispered.

Vinyl turned to her marefriend, Octavia, and shouted, "Hey, come and look at this!"

Octavia trotted over, where her jaw dropped in shock.

"Yeah," Vinyl said. "It's time."

"Alrighty then, let's thaw Rainbow out," ordered Octavia.

Rainbow groggily came to inside a glassy pod.

"Hey, where am I?” she muttered.

Just then, she heard a familiar voice.

"Sorry for the quick thaw, Rainbow, but things are a little hectic."

"Vinyl!" Rainbow yelled, who was reassured to hear her friend.

"It's good to see you too, Dashie," Vinyl replied.

Rainbow clambered out of her cryotube, looked around the chamber, and made sure her armor was still on.

Her MJOLNIR Mark VI armor was still on her, and its' systems were still functioning, including her HUD and shield systems.

Good, I'll need that for later, Rainbow thought.

Dash's thoughts were interrupted as a loud banging and creaking came from a door in the podium above her.

"Oh, SHIT!" Octavia screeched. "They're trying to get in!"

Vinyl reacted quickly and grabbed a nearby MA5B, while Octavia grabbed her signature M6D Magnum pistol, just as the doors to the Cryo bay blew open.

Shots of blue and purple plasma flew into the room as a Covenant Sangheili Minor burst into the room, only to be killed by combined fire from Vinyl and Octavia.

The two crewponies jumped down from the podium, where Vinyl shouted, "Come on! We've got to get the hay outta here!"

Rainbow gladly complied, and followed Vinyl and Octavia over some pipes towards a broken blast door.

The three mares ducked under the malfunctioning door, and made their way between some marines and crewponies who were struggling to hold off some Covenant.

Rainbow was the beckoned over by a gray mare, whose nametag identified her as Derpy Whooves, the wife of Doctor Whooves.

Derpy shouted, "The Captain needs you on the bridge, stat! Follow me!"

Rainbow followed Derpy through a door while Vinyl and Octavia helped the marines seal the blast doors that were holding back the Covenant.

Rainbow eventually made it to the bridge, where she met with her old friend, Rarity Keyes.

"Captain Rarity," Dash said.

Rarity turned around and gave Rainbow a big hug, and said, "Good to see you, Dashie. Things here aren't.... going too smoothly. Those Covenant ruffians have showed up, and are determined to steal Luna and find Equestria."

"I understand, Rarity, but what exactly do we do?" Dashie asked.

"Simple," Luna said. "You slot me into your helmet and carry me around in there."

"Alrighty then, just don't get any funny ideas inside my head," Rainbow replied.

"Good luck, Rainbow. And as always... be careful," Rarity said, who gave Rainbow her M6D Magnum pistol.

Author's Note

Here they go, Dashie and Luna!

Be sure to play benmarshall's (<- youtube account) Halo Music while you read, as it plays the in-game music in the order it plays in-game.

In the meantime, try and help me get more people to read this, as this is my first successful fan-fiction. (I just told my parents what I was writing, so I'm kind of embarrassed, as I'm a 13 year-old male, and MLP FiM is more of a girl's show 😓
