The Epic Tale of a Displaced Spartan
Prologue: Arrival, New Body, New Powers + The Part Where He Kills You
My name is Chase, and I'm a fan of MLP as well as a Sci Fi fan. I walked through the convention, and I was perusing through the booths and so far nothing was catching my attention. This year I decided to go as a Spartan II. I had white and red MJLONIR Mark V Armor with a katana attached to the back of the chest piece. You would not believe how hard it was to make the damn thing. It took me FOREVER to make it.
Finally, something interesting caught my eye, a lone merchant in a Resident Evil 4 costume selling items that appeared to whisk people away to who knows where.
I approached him and he said, "Nice costume, Spartan."
I didn't even question how he knew that, but I was surprised nonetheless. "I could say the same about you. Do you by any chance have the Battle Rifle from Halo 3? I believe this is the part where I blatantly ignore common sense and buy something from a complete stranger" I asked him. He nods and says:
"That'll be 150 dollars." I buy the item and I disappear in a flash of light. Was this a bad idea? Probably.
The Merchant just shrugs nonchalantly and says, "Mission accomplished. Wait. Where's his wallet?! NO. NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
While I was unconscious, I started experiencing memories from my training as a Spartan II, even though I was just Displaced not a few hours ago. This was odd because I don't remember becoming a Spartan II in the first place, even though I could remember going through the augmentation procedures. I was lucky to have survived.
I woke up in a snowy place much later in an extreme amount of pain.
“AGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!”
I sat up in my armor, oddly feeling the armor somewhat heavy.
I tapped the armor with my knuckles which should have hurt me since the MJLONIR armor is made of Titanium-A. Then I realized that I was finally in my dream world, Equestria, but then I became sad because I’d never see them again. My family. They'd fall apart without me. Someday I'll see them again. But that day, is not today.
I looked into the distance to see the Crystal Empire. Looks like I’m in a humanized universe.
“Ah great. Humanized universe. I hope things don’t get too fetishy.” I walked over to a tree to see a letter from the Merchant himself.
By now you've probably noticed the changes to your body.
I was considering putting you through the actual procedure, but I wasn't sure if you'd survive the procedure itself, so I decided to just make you a SPARTAN-II. AS a belated birthday present and compensation, I've elected to bring a Pelican complete with an armory as well as a couple of companions for you, so you won’t be completely alone, in about five days from now.
Yours insincerely,
The Merchant.
I decided to make a duplicate of a UNSC communicator of a Token. If I remember my Displaced lore correctly, then I have Void energy.
"This is Spartan Chase C-045 of the UNSC. If the odds are against you and you want me to help finish the fight, or if you just want to hang out, then call for me. If you are a friend, I'll gladly die for you, if you are my superior officer, I'd follow an order without question. If you are a threat, then God have mercy on your soul." After I finished making the Token, I threw it into the Void in the hopes that someone will find it... and find it someone did.
One went to a Federation starship captain far from her homeworld.
Another went to a Sith lord who died and was given a second chance.
Another went to one who lived for the fight.
Another went to two guys that lived to wreak havoc.
Another went to a newly minted god of thunder.
Another went to a group that was not well known.
Another went to a Dark Knight.
I decided to test out my powers. I first punched a tree, shattering it like it was nothing. Then, I decided to see if I could throw something heavy, I was successful.
"It seems that my reflexes are enhanced tenfold. I also appear to be stronger than the average human." I also ran a brain scan and found that my intelligence has increased.
I encountered a couple of humans wearing a helmet that puts them under Sombra's control. Look's like I showed up at the very first engagement. Unknown to me, a certain Rainbow haired girl and her friends were searching for a disturbance caused by my arrival to this world.
"Oh. Great. It's gonna be one of those fanfics. OH! HELLO! This is the part where I kill you!" I waved to them.
"In the name of our Lord and Savior, King Sombra, we order you to surrender and be destroyed."
I unsheathed my katana and pretended to think for a moment before saying:
"Nope. UNO Reverse card."
"Prepare to die you filthy animal!"
"Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait! Let's talk this out fellas!" Then, my enhanced reflexes kicked in. I could see everything slowing down until it stopped, my surroundings becoming a darkish amber color. The vaunted Spartan Time.
The first thing I did was grab a medium sized boulder with my left hand and threw it at the first soldier. His reaction was hysterical because he didn't have time to move before it collided with him, killing him instantly. I charged another soldier and stabbed him through his heart. I slashed at another soldier, causing him to bleed out and die.
"YOU MONSTER! I'LL BUCKING KILL YOU!" They always say that, but then they fail miserably due to them either being completely inept at fighting or they just reaaally suck at their job.
"Ugh, so unoriginal. I mean, honestly. Come up with something new already." They started shooting at me with their guns, so I swung my katana around, blocking their bullets like they were nothing. If I were a normal person, this would be impossible for me, since I'm now a Spartan, my reflexes were enhanced tenfold. I killed some with my katana, others I beat the hell out of. I kicked the second to last soldier in the chest, cracking his ribcage and knocking off his helmet. I think someone shit themselves and fled the battle. That's no good. That'll cause me a lot of problems. Ah well, I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.
I pointed my katana in the last soldier's face.
"Do you surrender?"
"NEVAAAAR!" he shouted and I sighed, stabbing him. All around me I could hear them complaining. "Why in any FIM fic I've read do the guards insist on continuing the fight when the person has clearly done nothing wrong? IT MAKES NO SENSE!"
"Urgh..."
"Ohhh. Kill men."
"Oh that smarts!"
"Damn. I was two days from retirement."
"I... I can't feel my face."
"I... I think I have a concussion."
"MY LEG!!!!"
"MY ARM!!!!!!"
"MEDIC!" another screamed out.
"You are all weak! YOU are all BLEEDERS!"
"You have dishonored this entire unit!"
"I should've stayed in bed today!" another said.
"It was a good talk fellas."
"No it wasn't." one of the soldiers groaned, holding his sides in pain.
"Dude, that was awesome!"

Chapter 1: POOT CHAPTER TITLE HERE!
I pointed my katana at the last soldier, mentally hoping that he'd surrender. I would soon find that this was not the case.
"Do you surrender?"
"We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mercy-" I am interrupted as my hopes for a peaceful conclusion were quickly dashed as he rushed towards me. "NEVAAAAR!" he shouted and I sighed as he impaled himself on my katana. "God damn it." As his body fell to the floor, I swore that I could hear opera music playing in the background, the kind that makes violence classy.
"Urgh..."
"Ohhh. Kill men."
"Damn. I was two days from retirement."
"I... I can't feel my face."
"I... I think I have a concussion. Hey, is it a bad sign if you smell Prench toast and everything looks like it's underwater?"
"MY AAAAAAAAAAARM!!!!!!"
"MEDIC!" another screamed out.
"You are all weak! YOU are all BLEEDERS!"
"You have dishonored this entire unit!"
"Each and every one of us will be sent home to our momma in a box!"
"I should've stayed in bed today!" another said.
"Good talk you guys."
"MY LEG!!!"
"No, it wasn't."
"Dude, that was awesome!"
I sheathed my katana and turned around to see seven girls and a young boy with spikey green hair.
"Crap! Uh, they were already like this when I got here." I say, pointing behind me as one of the bodies, still standing, the top half fell off. Another body fell from a tree.
"Spartan 045, Chase, at your service." I saw with a mock bow, which caused all seven of them to laugh.
"And who are you lovely ladies, if I may ask?" I said, causing them to blush.
"Ah'm Applejack." the blond-haired girl with the Stetson hat and Daisy Duke look said.
"I'm Pinkie Pie!" the poofy pink-haired girl exclaimed.
"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in Equestria! Try and keep up." the Rainbow-haired girl said, doing a loop de loop.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle, Captain of Her Majesty's 101st Battalion. And this is my adopted little brother, Spike." Twilight introduced herself.
"I'm Rarity, owner of Carousel Boutique." the purple-haired girl introduced herself.
“Starlight Glimmer.” The fuchsia-haired girl introduced herself.
“How much of that did you see?” I asked.
“I saw enough.” Princess Twilight responds.
I nod and say, “Shall we?”
The group leads me out of the woods and to their camp.
“Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house, we go I suppose.”
Throughout the entire journey through the woods, I spent the entire time cleaning out the barrel of the battle rifle with a long stick and checking to see if I have enough ammo. I unsheathed my katana and cleaned the blood off the blade. It wouldn’t do me any favors to be seen with a bloodied blade.
“So Chase, err, Spartan...” Princess Twilight.
“You can call me Chase, Princess,” I say, cutting her off.
"Then you must call me Twilight," Twilight says.
"Yes, Princ... Twilight." I say.
"What exactly are you? I've never seen anything like you before? What's your society like? What's your technology like... uh, sorry."
I just sigh. "It's fine." I think to myself. Just a reminder that I don't belong. I'm not from here. I'll never see my parents again.
"I'm what's known as a Spartan, an augmented human. I can't tell you the specifics of the process as a lot of it is heavily classified. All you guys need to know is that I am smarter, faster, and stronger than the average human. Let's get going. We're burning daylight. I promise you that I'll tell you everything." I say and the walk continues in subdued silence. In the corner of my HUD, I could see a download bar for something, the interface read: A.I. download at 39% An AI? was this what was meant by extra companions.
The group stopped as an obstruction was blocking the path back to their camp.
"Ah'm not strong enough to move that, . Sorry gals." Applejack says.
"Not me." everyone else says.
"Allow me," I say. "Stand back! Waaaaaay back." I broke out into a run causing the obstruction to shatter to pieces with pieces of shrapnel and wood to fly everywhere.
Several jaws dropped. I turn and respond, "Close your mouths or the flies will get in." They do so and we head to the camp to get me situated. With my eye, I could make out a small light in the distance. Probably the camp. I take out a pair of futuristic-looking binoculars and the lenses zoom in on the light, revealing a large military camp.
"We're almost to the camp. Shouldn't be that far of a walk." I say.
We do eventually reach the camp, and to my utter shock, the timeline I had landed in was actually the Nightmare Moon timeline, although with some slight differences. The girls had got me settled in.
I looked around and I could see what I'd jokingly refer to as bat soldiers bustling around the camp, even though they were clearly human but with bat wings on their back. I could clearly see that the armor they wore had holes to accomodate their wings, which I had found extremely fascinating. I think it's best for me not to question these things for now. Black flags and a crescent moon adorning the flags spanned most of the camp. The group had gotten me settled and informed me that Nightmare Moon herself, although why she'd want to come all the way down here and meet with me when she clearly had better things to do is beneath me. Eh, that's a problem for another time.
I set down my stuff that I carried with me. I had to set my stuff down because I carried it the entire way, even though my back was not sore in the slightest. I had sat down on a log and had started making myself some food. Right now, the girls were arranging for accommodation to be set up at the camp while I cooked myself some food. There was no way in hell that I was going to eat an MRE.
Author's Note
And I’m back. I am so so sorry for the long wait. I was on vacation last week and my laptop broke, so I'm waiting on a replacement battery.
As for the extra companions mentioned earlier, I'm not telling. It's a surprise.
