The Badlands Equestria

After getting back from disabling the capital ships engines, you and the princesses made a plan. Now it is time to put that plan into motion. Even though it would take two weeks to repair the damage to the engines and the outer hull, you wanted to finish the fight. So now a huge attack force is setting up, and you get to help lead it.

"Okay everyone listen up," You said. "Here is the plan. We have one klick between us and them. They have a bunch of Scorpion and Kodiak tanks lining their side that will fuck our shit up if we get hit. So, what we are doing is that the unicorns will have point. They will use spells to put up shields to stop bullets, shells, and rockets. The Earth ponies will be behind the unicorns killing any hostile that gets to close and helping the others advance. The pegasi will fly ahead taking out the tanks."

"What if we die?" A soldier nervously asked.

"Well then you die for a good cause."

"How many of us will die," Another soldier said

"Most of you will die. The odds are close to impossible. But we have no choice."

"Don't you have a choice?" A female guard asked. "You are a human like them?"

"I may be the same race, but they are going AWOL, attacking us for no reason. Without even declaring war. They attack civilians for what, a weapon that would be built in bloodshed?"

"I see your point," She said.

"All right then. We attack in 15 minutes get ready."

You proceeded to check your gear. Sniper Rifle. Check. Ammo. Check. Grenades. Check. Combat Knife. Check. You were ready to go. Luna tapped you on the shoulder.

"Yes dear" you said.

"First, don't say yes dear. It sounds weird when you say that," She said.

"Okay."

"Second," She said, then kissed you full on the lips.

"Thanks," you said. "I needed that."

"It must be hard for you to fight your own species," She said

You shrugged your shoulders. "I've done it before, fighting Insurrectionists."

"But these people were once on your side."

"So? They attacked my new home without mercy. Why would I give them anything different."

"I see your point."

You stood up. "Be careful, these guys will probably go for you and Celestia first."

"Don't worry," Luna said drawing her sword. "I got it all covered."

"Good," You said. You walked outside the tent set up. "Alright everybody, let's do this!" you yelled.

The attack force began moving forward. There was not action for the first thirty minutes other than a few Kodiak shells exploding. But soon the enemy began raining fire. The unicorns put up their barriers, but some failed to do so. You kept shooting at the enemy, each shot being a kill. But then the enemy flanked the attack force with hellbringers.

"Hit them with fire spells," you heard Celestia shout from the battlefield. When the unicorns did so, causing the hellbringers napalm-oxide tanks to explode. You were closing in on the first enemy fortification. They were resorting to CQC now because you were too close. You heard a rocket being fired in your direction, and a shield went up. You turned to see who fired the rocket, but he was headless, with Luna standing by him. You gave her a thumbs up. Soon the first fortification was yours. You, Luna, and Celestia met up near the center.

"How many casualties did you suffer?" Celestia asked you and Luna.

"Not many," You both said at the same time.

"Make sure to send our wounded back to our base." You said

"When should we attack the next fortification?" Luna asked.

"Let's get our troops to regroup first," you said.

You walked over to the side of the fortifications that was facing the other. You looked through your scope and saw that they were dug in well. They had a lot of snipers. That was a problem. You panned your crosshairs on top of one of their heads and pulled the trigger. You did the same thing, until there were no more snipers. The enemy artillery was still firing, so the pegasi haven't dealt with that yet.

"Okay everyone, break is over," you said. "The enemy are more dug in over there, so it will be harder to take. But we can do it."

You and you army began to move forward. But about halfway there, you heard an explosion come from your left side. You ran over to see what happened.

"He just blew up sir," A solider said. You looked over at the dead one and his body was all dismembered. It was bloody. You looked over where his hoof was and saw the remains of an anti-infantry land mine.

"Land mines. Fuck," you said. "Is there a type of spell that can detect stuff," you asked the soldier.

"Yes sir," she said nervously.

"Can you do it?"

"No, I'm not strong enough."

"Okay. Thanks for your help."

You ran over to Celestia, who what the closest

"Hey," you said. "Do you know any detection spell? Because we kind of have a land mine problem."

"Yeah, I know a spell or two," Celestia said, her horn glowing. Then all the trip mines came out from the ground and were thrown at the fortification you where assaulting.

"Okay, that solves that," you said.

You and your army continued the assault. The land mines did a decent amount of damage. Everything was looking good, until you saw a few bodies fly by behind you. You turned around and saw the very thing that could mess up this assault.

You were looking at a Spartan.

You fired a few shots, but they were deflected by his energy shield. He fired back, but you took cover. But he used his strength to tear down that cover and picked you up by throat."

"You're a traitor!" He yelled at you.

"At least I followed orders," You said gasping for air. That only caused him to growl at you. You knew he was only trying to scare you. You were reaching for his hip gun clam, where a plasma pistol rested.

"You will fight your own people for what, these pathetic un-advanced horse-people?" The spartan said.

"No, I will fight my own race to defend those who can't, to uphold my position as a reclaimer. You shouldn't be doing this."

"Good soldiers follow orders."

"Then your definition of a good soldier, is different than mine." You drew his pistol, charged it up, and send a bolt flying at him. It took his shields off-line, and he let go of you. You took out your rifle, and fired a shot at his head, killing him.

"y/n, who are these guys!" You heard Luna yell. You ran over to where she was and helped her up.

"They are Spartans, genetically engineered super soldiers. You can't kill them until their energy shields are off-line," you told her.

"Would a lightning spell do the trick?" She asked.

"Yeah, that should wo-"

You were then rammed into by one of the Spartans, sending you flying.

"Ow," you said when hitting the ground. Luna was already fighting him off and was doing well.

You turned around and saw that another Spartan was rushing at you. You tried to do a back-flip over him, but he grabbed you, and threw you to the ground.

"I need a concussion check," you said to yourself while getting up. You charged your plasma pistol, but he knocked it out of your hand.

"No cheating," He said. You drew your knife.

He began to swing at you, and you dodged his attacks waiting for an opening. It did not come, and he knocked you to the floor.

"Game over," He said. "Should have fought for the right side"

You just looked at him and threw your knife into his visor, somehow ignoring his shields and killing him. You took your knife out of his head, but then you felt a sharp pain in your chest, causing you to cough blood. You turned around and saw that another Spartan had stabbed you with his sword. You retaliated and sent your knife through his head as well. The world was fading, and you fell to the ground. Then everything was gone.

Luna's Point of View

Luna had just finished off the Spartan she was dealing with. He had fought well but could not overcome her. She then looked to the side and saw y/n fall to the ground.

"y/n, no!" She yelled running over to him. She tried to find a breath, a pulse, anything. But she found nothing.

"Please don't die on me," Luna said, tears streaming down her eyes. "Please don't die."

But he didn't get up, no matter how hard Luna pleaded, he wouldn't get up. She clenched he sword hard in her fist and stood up.

"She looks mad," a Spartan said to another. Luna looked at them, her eyes glowing white.

"You all will perish for what you have done!" Luna said to them. Her sword was glowing violently red, representing her rage.

"Aww, it the little girl mad," The other Spartan said before losing his limbs and head. Luna then cut down the next, and the next. The enemy tried to run, but they were no match to her rage. Every single one of them would meet a death at her blade, and nothing could stop her. One by one, they were cut down. Went she was done, she went back over to y/n's body, rested her head on it, and began to sob loudly. Celestia walked over to try to comfort her sister.

"Luna, It's okay," Celestia said.

"It's not okay Tia, I could of save him," Luna said, crying even louder. "Is this my curse? Do I lose the things I love the most? Am I not allowed to be loved?" Luna began crying so much, that Celestia couldn't even talk to her, and just stood there.

Unknown time

Unknown place

"What happened," you said getting up. You were in a white room, probably a void. "Where am I?"

"You are dead," A voice sad.

"Can you put that on a memo and title it 'shit that I already know," you said. "I want to know where am I."

"You are in the crossing point between being physical and being a part of Precursor Neural Physics."

"I can't stay."

"It is not a choice. You died."

"But you said I am not in the afterlife yet."

"Well yes but-"

"So, there is still a chance."

"You are not attached to your body anymore"

You began to sense sadness. Luna sadness. She thought you were dead.

"I'm still somewhat alive......"

"No, you are not."

"Then how come I still sense something only my physical body could?"

"How can this be?"

"I don't know. Please help me live. I have to uphold the Mantle of Responsibility."

"Fine then. I will try. Prepare yourself."

You felt a horrible pain, unimaginable by most. You began to feel your physical body again.

You shot up coughing a lot.

"y/n! Your alive!" Luna said hugging you. "I thought I lost you." She was crying tears of joy.

"Well, you did, but our connection, allowed me to come back," you said, hugging her back. After that, you saw that your chest was healed to a point where you were barely alive.

"Let me fix that," Luna said, casting a spell on it.

After she was done, you stood up.

"Well," you said. "Let's finish the fight."

Author's Note

Well, sorry for the long wait, I was playing a lot of Equestria at War.....

If you want to know the technical reason on how y/n came back, I'll explain it.
So, Precursor Neural Physics is when something dies, it's neural capacity (brain function) becomes one with the fabric of existence. But Y/N brain wasn't fully dead due to his link with Luna, so the voice (a dead precursor) put him back in his body.
