Halo: Fourth Ring

Descent from the heavens

BonBon was having a bad day.

The Covenant had already destroyed her new home, Reach, and now they were attacking the ship she escaped on!

She was galloping to the last lifeboat, when she tripped on a dead body.

Rainbow Dash was zooming over to the lifeboat, when she saw a marine trip and fall.

“Oh, no! No! I don’t wanna be left behind!” she cried.

Dashie grabbed the mare by her neck, tossed her into the lifeboat, whirled around to check for Covenant, and stepped into the lifeboat.

“Now would be a very good time to leave, Rainbow!” quipped Luna.

“Punch it, Lightning,” ordered Rainbow Dash.

“I don’t know, but we’re landing on it!” replied Lightning Dust.

”He’s right! The Celestia has sustained critical damage! Wait... it’s accelerating! Rarity’s piloting it herself!” said Luna.

“Heads up! Entering the ring’s atmosphere in five!” shouted Lightning Dust.
