important!!

this story is going to be rewritten. keeping some of the same elements as well as some new ones. so i am looking forward to writing it.

Noble

“Are you sure about this twilight…I mean no pony has ever tried it before?”

“calm down spike, what is the worst that could happen?” twilight asked Her assistant spike the dragon.

“If you say so let’s get started.” Said spike as twilight's horn stared glowing.

Emile silently cheered as another Phantom dropship was blown out of the sky, the burning parts plummeting several miles towards the ground. He glanced quickly towards the landing pad, where Noble Six and a squad of marines were desperately trying to hold off another wave of Covenant soldiers. Emile sighed, remembering the time since Noble Team first arrived on Reach. Ever since, they had fought a losing battle for the salvation of the planet. He saw the faces of the people who had perished in his squad. Jorge, who had sacrificed himself to stop a Covenant Super Carrier in vain. Kat, a shot piercing her helmet after the nuclear blast in New Alexandria. And their commander, Carter, who sacrificed himself too by flying his Pelican right into a Scarab. All of them killed while defending Reach.

A low hum woke him out of his daydreaming. As he looked up, he saw a Phantom in the distance, making it's way to Six and the others. He charged up the MAC gun and fired, the supersonic slug tearing through the Phantom and obliterating it. After the debris had fallen out of sight, Emile gazed through his skull-clad helmet towards the horizon: the Covenant seemed to withdraw.

He sighed in relief and turned his attention to Noble Six again as he handed the package to Captain Keyes. Emile smiled: The brass had proven himself well in combat, and Emile was proud to have this "hyper lethal vector", as he was called, in Noble team. He silently watched the horizon again, only see a Covenant Cruiser headed their way.

Emile heard captain Keyes' voice crackle through his intercom:

"Noble Four, I need fire on that cruiser or were not getting out of here! Do you copy?"

"I have your window sir", he responded as he slowly turned the MAC gun towards the Covenant ship.

Suddenly, a Phantom emerged, shooting the second Pelican that had arrived with Keyes. The dropship caught fire and was slowly starting to spiral down before it eventually crashed on the landing pad, almost crushing Noble Six. Emile turned his head quickly; the Phantom was coming right at him!

The Phantom hovered above Emile, sending down an Elite toward him. He unholstered his shotgun. As soon as the Elite had landed in front of him, Emile let out a savage cry before blasting it. Wounded, the Elite reeled backwards and feel on it's back, only to see the Spartan look over him. Emile fired a shell right in it's face.

"WHO'S NEXT?"

He suddenly felt a sharp pain before realizing that he had an Energy Sword through his stomach. He turned around; he saw the Zealot that had stabbed him grinning in triumph. He slowly felt the pain going away and his vision became blurred. He felt death creeping into his veins; his memories of Reach flooded into his mind; all of his squad member's faces flashed before him.

-I'm not going to die now! Emile thought. For Noble! For Six!

"I'M READY? HOW 'BOUT YOU?"

With all the strength he had left, Emile grabbed his knife and dove it into the neck of the stunned Elite. Before it had time to react, he dragged him down dowards the stairs, where he pulled out the knife and dove it in again. The body laid besides Emile, it's eyes still wide open in surprise.

Slowly, Emile dragged himself to the railing and looked towards the dead Zealot. He was starting to cough up blood inside his helmet; he knew he wouldn't survive.

-This is it... He coughed up more blood before the world darkened before his eyes. Noble Four... Signing off...

He stopped moving.

as a light enveloped his body

Rarity trotted up to Twilight’s tree house and knocked on the door. The lavender library mare answered with a friendly ‘Hello.’

“I came over as soon as I got your letter.” Rarity said, stepping into the room.

“Thank you, I’ve been wanting to try a new spell but everyone else was busy. Spike!” Twilight called. A purple dragon climbed down the stairs with a book in his claws. About half way down the stairs he saw Rarity, lose his balance, and tumbled the rest of the way down. He stood up and brought the book to Twilight.

“Can I go back to bed now?” he said in a grumpy tone.

“Fine Spike, but when you can’t sleep tonight don’t come whining to me.”

Twilight levitated the booked open to the page with the spell she wanted to try.

“Alright Rarity, the spell I wanted to try is a reverse teleportation spell. Pretty much what it does is send back someone who has been recently teleported.” She told Rarity.

“Are you sure this will work, I don’t want to get trapped somewhere with no way out.” Rarity said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll only teleport you outside and back.” Twilight reassured. She pointed her horn at Rarity and focused. In a flash of light Rarity was gone. Twilight took a quick breather to regain herself. The teleportation spell is very tiring. She focused once me. Her horn glowed a magnificent purple light that filled the room. She closed her eyes and concentrated. A heavy thud broke Twilight's focus. A large pile of metal was laying in the center of the room. She circled it, trying to find out exactly what it was. She stopped when she placed her hoof in something warm and wet. She looked down and saw a puddle of red liquid coming out of the object. She immediately began to panic. She realized that it was living and slowly dieing. She threw open the door and ran full gallop towards Fluttershy’s, leaving a trail of bloody hoof prints behind her.

Pay backs a Bitch

“Let me go you disgusting brute!” Rarity yelled at the crimson armored creature.

Causing other ponies in earshot to look and they started to panic. And she continued to scream until they were in the center of town. And she let out an ear piercing call for help

“Some pony help meeeee!” Rarity Shouted

The ponies of Ponyville watched in terror as the creature dragged Rarity through their streets.

*beep* beep* *Beep* Beeeeeeeeee*

‘let’s Rock Emile’ said Six

Emile shot up from,

“What the hell??” he said

His suits auto repair function activating repairing the holes from the energy-sword.

He felt his wound, it wasn’t healed but it was packed with bio-foam. A red blip blinked on his radar.

“Movement.” He looked next to him and saw that something was covered in bio-foam slowly being crushed by the expanding foam. Reacting quickly he shot his hand forward and pulled whatever it was out.

“What the fuck? Is that a yellow horse?” Emile said, pulling it from the expanding sea of foam.

*cough* “thank you so much, I couldn’t move.” Fluttershy said until she saw Emile standing over her.

“Eep!” Fluttershy backed up a little and hid behind her mane.

‘OK I am defiantly not on Reach anymore, but this thing defiantly isn’t covenant. And at least I know they are sentient. So I better try and make some frie..allies. So let’s try this.’ Emile thought as he knelt down in front of the strange yellow creature.

“Hey it’s alright. I’m not gonna hurt ya.” He said. Fluttershy backed away even more. ‘hmm not working let’s try this’

“My name is Emile. What is your name?” He said

“My names Fluttershy.” she said quietly.

“Sorry didn’t catch that?” ‘More movement…non hostile’

“ooh my head. *gasp* Is Everyone okay? Where's Rarity.” Twilight said waking up from being kicked into a wall and bouncing off like some kind of pinball machine. But then she hears somepony’s voice so she looked up and saw the other creature kneeling in front of Fluttershy. And she got a spell ready.

“I said my name is Fluttershy.” She said

“Well nice to meet you.” Emile said then he turned to twilight. The beam of magical energy shot past him. Instinctively, he reached for his shotgun, but all he grabbed was air. He groaned and held his hands out, signaling Twilight to stop. She looked up at the creature and saw that he wasn't an enemy.

“Relaax, names Emile no need to do anything we might regret.” He said

“Hello I am Twilight Sparkle.” She said finally getting a good look at him

'It’s a long shot but maybe he can help us’ she thought

"Please, you have to help me. That thing must have Taken Rarity." she said in a panic.

"What 'thing'?" Emile asked.

"I-I don't know, it was big, and its jaw was split." Twilight said. Emile groaned once more.

"Well I'm not gonna be able to do much without my shotgun." he said.

"Please, you have to hurry, Rarity's in danger." Twilight said even more fanatically. Emile pushed himself to his feet. Pain shot through his body, but he could bear it.

"Don't worry, I'll get your friend back." he said reassuringly.

Then he saw his shotgun in the corner picked it up, turned around and he ducked under the door frame and walked out into the street.

Twilight began to write a letter to the princess telling her what has happened.

“Dear Princess Celestia…”

‘This place is to peaceful if the covenant appeared, they will all be slaughtered’ He thought.

“HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!”

Emile rounded a corner sprinting and saw a crowed of ponies looking at something and what he saw made him angry. It was the same elite what had stabbed him now it was threatening an innocent civilian.

“SILENCE HERETIC YOUR DEATH IS THE WILL OF THE PROPHETS KILLING YOU WILL TAKE ME ONE STEP FURTHER ON THE GREAT JOURNEY! ” shouted the zealot drawing back its energy-sword to impale her.

“HEY YOU SPIT JAWED BITCH! LET HER GO!” Emile shouted.

This angered the elite turning its head and scanned the crowd and saw Emile standing there. He dropped Rarity and she scurried away and the ponies turned to see who was bold enough to stand up to such a monster.

“A’ight Bitch your Great journey ends here.” Emile said, pointing the kukri at the zealot.

“DEMON!! I will kill you and all these filthy beasts.” Said the elite

“Over my dead body!”

And they both charged each other Emile ducked under a horizontal swing from the energy-sword, switched his grip on his kukri and went to stab the elite only to have his arm grabbed by the elite and it squeezed his arm tight causing him to lose grip on his kukri and it dropped to the ground witch the elite kicked away causing it to slide in front of the ponies. Which seeing their potential savior disarmed, began to worry . The elite pick the smaller skull faced spartan up to run him through with his energy-sword.

“Ooh no you don’t you ugly fucker.” said Emile through the pain. He twisted and delivered a devastating spinning kick to the elites side. Causing the elite to drop him and he quickly got up and Body checked the elite. The Elite fell to the ground, landing on its back and Emile began to charge the downed Zealot.

It rolled onto its back and spun with its legs wide (like a head spin in break-dancing, but on its back) and as Emile got to it used its momentum to throw it self to its feet on Emile’s left about five feet away and pulled out its concussion-rifle and shot a blast of plasma at Emile causing his shields to flair but not fail, but knocked him back.

‘Fuck, This ain't good.’ Emile thought.

The Zealot takes out a plasma grenade and throw it at him it lands in front of him. It glows blue and the elite went to one knee as the grenade exploded.

The ponies watched in horror a their savior disappeared in an explosion of blue mist. But what happened next surprised them all even the elite, Emile came running out of the mist.

“This ain’t over!” as he sprinted at the elite. Emile slammed into the elite like a one ton linebacker making it drop its weapon, and they both fell to the ground with Emile on the top and he started punching the elite in the face.

“THIS IS FOR GEORGE!”

*PUNCH*

“THIS IS FOR KAT!”

*PUNCH*

“THIS IS FOR CARTER!” and he paused with his fist raised and put as much force into the next punch as he could.

“AND THIS…. IS FOR SIX!” he shouted as he punched the Elite in the head so hard it made its helmet fly off. Allowing him and everybody else to see the Elites face, it had a scar over its right eye which was red and the other was black. Seeing this made Emile hesitate it was Him.

‘What it’s the same Elite that killed my mama, pa, sis, and big brother. It can’t be’ Emile thought

*Flash back*

Planet Eridanus II

Town Luxor

Fall of Eridanus II

A six year old Emile is running to the UNSC evacuation point through the burning ruins of the town with his parents, his sister Sarah and his brother Jerome when an explosion knocked them all to the ground and onto two dead marines.

As they were getting up heard a roar followed by a scream and they all turned to see mama with an energy-sword through her stomach. From a red armored Elite with a scar over its right eye while the other one was black.

“NOO Alicia/mama!!” They all yelled.

Dad and Jerome picked up the weapons of the fallen marines. Dad turned to Emile and Sarah and said,

“Emile, get you and your sister out of here!”

“Not without...” He began.

“JUST DO IT EMILE! we'll be right behind you.” Jerome said with all of his seventeen year old courage.

“Ok... Come on Sarah, lets go.” and they both began running away and then they started heard the sounds of gun fire and Shouting.

“Come on you Piece of Shit!” They heard Jerome shouting.

They both had tears streaming down there faces they had heard what elites could do.

They both made it to the evacuation center where there was a pelican about to take off with survivors. They both started running faster to the pelican and the marine inside saw them running and got ready to pick them up and put them in the pelican. As they got there Emile turned to Sarah who was panting from running so much.

“Thanks dad. Thanks Jerome. Come on Sarah.” Said Emile

*CRACK*

“Sarah!!! NOOOO!” shouted Emile as a Beam rifle round pierced Sarah’s heart and she fell on the ground dropping her stuffed pony toy. Emile ran to her side and grabbed her head before it hit the ground.

“Sarah no,… Sarah… Sarah wake up.” Emile shook her a little. He looked up and saw the same elite holding a beam-rifle as it turned away and fought a big soldier in green armor and a gold visor.

‘Poor kid’ thought the soldier as he grabbed Emile and the toy.

“Come on kid she’s gone, LET’S GO!” Said the marine and he picked up Emile and put him in the pelican and pounded on the hull and the door closed and the aircraft took off. He turned to Emile and gave him the toy.

“Here I’m sure she would want you to have it.” He said

“Yea…thanks.” Emile Said taking the small toy and started crying.

End Flash back

Seeing the Demons hesitation, the Elite brought its foot up and Kicked Emile in the head causing him to go flying and his helmet to come off. He and his helmet landed in front of two ponies. one was Twilight Sparkle and the other was someone he didn’t know she was white with wings and horn and was at least twice as tall as the other ponies with a pink green and purple.

The ponies Saw Emile’s face he had dark skin and his mane was long coming down to his shoulders in dread locks. He had green eyes that seemed to stare into your soul. But you could see a lot of anger in them. Twilight got an idea and grabs something with her magic and throws it to Emile calling his name.

Emile Shot up, his dread locks trailing behind him. Then he heard someone call his name,

“EMILE CATCH!”

He turned and caught his kukri out of the air with his right hand.

“Thanks.” He said.

He began running toward the elite. “THIS IS FOR MY FAMILY YOU SQUID FACED FUCK!”

He rolled under a kick and parried a punch. The elite threw a hook kick at him witch he caught and glared at the elite trying to get its leg back with no success and Emile brought his left elbow and right knees up at the same time and shattered both of the joints in its knee. He jumped back sheathed his kukri and pulled out his shotgun and shot the elite in the chest dropping its shields a little and that is when he saw its downed concussion-rifle and dove for it and shot the elite with it the explosion dropped the elites shields completely and he charged kukri drawn toward the stunned and crippled elite and stabbed it in the chest in the heart only taking out one of the two and flipped over the elite still holding onto the elite and pulled out the knife out.

Emile winced in pain his wound was healing fast but not fast enough. He had to end this NOW so he charged the elite one last time. He sheathed his kukri and took out the shotgun and jumped over the elite as it  went to stab him with its wrist blades landing behind it. He shot it in the back and it fell on the ground he kicked the elite and it flipped over onto its back. Holding his shotgun to its face in one hand and with the other reached into one of his pouches and took out a small stuffed pony and griped it tightly yet gently.

"This is for Sarah. Bitch." He pulled the trigger and the elite dropped.

Watching the display of violence coming from there savior made the ponies glad he was on their side. Such precision and agility even with such bulky armor was something even the royal guard couldn’t do. And the fact that he was avenging his family was so noble. He held his side as he picked up his helmet.

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." he replied. He coughed and blood sprayed from his mouth.

"You don't seem fine." said the large pony. Fluttershy hesitantly stepped out from behind the two.

"Mr.Emile, I-I can help you, I mean, if that's okay with you."

"Yeah,that would be good." Emile said weakly. As he fell to his knees,

"Now can you fix me up, please."

Alpha

Rarity, Twilight, and Celestia watched as Fluttershy bandaged and stitched Emile’s wounds. He looked to be in bad condition, they had to drag him back to Fluttershy’s cottage. Fluttershy took a step back to admire her handy work. Twilight hesitantly took a step forward and looked and Emile. He was breathing heavily and sweating.

“Is it… he okay?” Rarity asked.

“He should be fine.” Fluttershy said. Twilight reached a hoof out and gentle placed it one his chest. She could feel his faint heartbeat. Emile wrenched, causing Twilight to jump back. The group watched as he twisted and turned violently. After a few minutes, he settled down. Then Celestia had an idea.

“Fluttershy, do you have a mirror that I may can barrow?” Celestia asked.

Fluttershy nodded and trotted of to a separate room and returned with a small hoof-mirror. Celestia levitated it up to eye level.

“Princess, I really don’t think this is the time to check your mane.” Twilight said.

“Twilight don’t be a so naïve. I’m using a spell to she his thoughts.” Celestia replied.

“You never Taught me a spell like that. And don’t you think that kinda invading his privacy?” Twilight inquired.

“I need to know if he friend or foe, I was hoping you’d can the direness of this question. You saw what he did to that other creature, you know what he’s capable of. If he were to be unleashed upon Equestria, who knows what destruction he could cause.” Celestia answered.

Twilight thought about it and nodded. Celestia horn lit up as she began to focus her energy. The mirror began to waver and warp. The mares gathered around and watched as Emile’s thoughts were broadcasted onto the reflective glass.

Planet: Onyx

Spartan training center: A Spartan group Alpha

Time: 5:00 AM Earth time

One month after the fall of Eridanus II

“A-239, what the fuck is that?” Shouted an instructor, snatching at the toy pony Emile had in his hand.

“It’s mine!” He said jumping back

“Give it here!” The instructor shouted extending his shock prod.

“NO. Fuck you!” Emile shouted making the other kids look at him some making fun of him, others admiring him, all but one a boy with jet black hair and blue eyes, with average white skin.

“I said no. it’s the only thing I have left of my Family, and my Sister!” Emile said

“I bet your sister was just some slut, now give it here!” the instructor said with a smirk.

“What did you say?” Emile asked

“I said your sister is a slut.” the instructor said, a smirk forming across his face.

“I WILL KILL YOU” Emile shouted, running at the instructor, but instead getting hit in the chest with the shock prod.

“Kid, you have a ways to go.” said the instructor bending down to snatch the toy.

“Hirk” grunted the instructor after Emile kicked him in the gut causing him to almost through up. Rolling up Emile glared

down at the instructor.

“No one is taking this from me. . .  Ever.” He said

A marine went to beat Emile only to have another kid kick him in the back of the knee causing him to fall forward and Emile to bring his small knee up into the marines face.

Emile and the other kid looked at one another.

“Thanks names Emile A-239.” He said

“Cooper A-326.”

“What a batch of ruffians.” Rarity stated as the memory faded.

The ponies weren’t sure how to react. They had never scene anyone treated so badly before. Fluttershy was silently weeping at how they treated him. Rarity had overdramatically fainted onto the floor, although nopony paid any attention to her. Twilight looked up at her mentor.

Her eyes begged Celestia to stop, but Celestia was unfazed and resumed viewing the thoughts of Emile. Another image began to show on the mirror.

Years later.

Planet Onyx

A 19 year old Emile stood at attention at his commanders desk in his armor.

“What are your orders, sir?” Emile said

“A-239, I have news on Operation: New Dawn” said Kurt, operator of the Spartan III program

“How did it go, sir?”

“Operation code name New Dawn was a failure. Despite the target being destroyed out of the 430 Spartans of alpha company, all have gone MIA.”

“All, sir?” Emile asked.

“Yes A-239, All of them.” Kurt said coldly. Emile hung his head, trying to hold back tears.

“I’m sorry for your loss, I know Spartan A-326 was in that operation and that he was your friend, but there are more pressing matters at hand. You are here by stationed on the planet of Arkadia. You leave in O-five-twenty.” He said

“Sir!” Emile said with a salute .

“Dismissed.”

Emile turned and walked out.

All the ponies were weeping now. Even Celestia was having trouble keeping her composure. Rarity had her arm around Fluttershy, trying to comfort her as best she could.

“Princess, I beg of you, please stop.” Twilight said trough her tear filled eyes. Celestia said nothing, did nothing. She kept

focusing on the glass. A loud sound filled the room and everypony covered their ears. A new memory appeared on the glass.

Sssshhhhhhink

Sssssshhhink

Ssssssssssssshhhhhhhhink

“All done.” Emile said to himself as he sheathed his kukri and looked at his newly carved helmet now with a skull on it.

“Not half bad if I do say so myself.”

He put the helmet on And reached into his pouch and pulled out the toy pony. His hand was almost as big as it now. He looked at it while he rode in a pelican. It was white with wings and a horn it had a multicolor mane.

“I’m sorry Sarah. I won’t let this happen to anyone else’s family. we haven’t talked is a while I’m a warrant officer now. But all of my friends are asleep now. I’m sure you have met them, Even Cooper. It’s alright, there fight is over now. I’m the last of Alpha, but I’ll keep fighting and.... “

“30 seconds, Spartan.” Said the pilot from the cockpit.

“Gotta go, talk to you later. Alpha now and Alpha forever.”

He held the toy to his chest and then stowed it away. He picked up his battle rifle and pulled the action back, chambering a round. He let out a breath as he stepped toward the bay door. The door lowered at the bay was flooded with light

Twilight jumped up and grabbed the mirror. She threw it to the floor and smashed it.

“Twilight…” Celestia said. Rarity and Fluttershy fell silent. Twilight took a few deep, anger filled breaths before collapsing to the floor. She began crying. Celestia leaned and picked Twilight up. Celestia held Twilight close and stroked her mane. Tears ran down Celestia’s cheek. She Whispered

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

ponyville

Emile’s body was aching as he sat up on the coach. He looked about the room for his savior or her friends but they were nowhere to be found. He stood up and began to walk towards a window. Something crunched under his heavy boot. He stepped back and found a smashed mirror. He ignored it and proceeded towards the window. He pulled back the shade and the light of the morning spilled into the room.

“Emile, your awake.” A voice said. Emile turned to found the lavender unicorn in the doorway. Her horn was surrounded by a purple aura and a tray of food was levitating next to her, enveloped in the same aura.

“How are you feeling.” Twilight asked.

“Like shit.” Emile replied sitting back down on the coach, “Where’s Fluttershy and the others.”

“Rarity and Fluttershy are still asleep and the princess went back to Canterlot.” Twilight put the tray across Emile’s lap.

“Princess? Was she the big one?” Emile inquired, picking up a piece of toast and taking a large bite out of it.

“Um, well, yes.” She said. Emile chugged down the glass of orange juice.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask you a few questions.” Twilight said, floating out a notepad and pencil.

“Sure, why not.” Emile shrugged.

“Where are you from?”

“I was born on the planet Erindus II.”

“Alright, What was the… thing that attacked Rarity?” Twilight continued.

“It’s called an Elite or Sanghelli...damn cove. Humanity has been at war with them and a handful of other aliens for years. Together they are the Covenant.”

“Okay,” Twilight said, scribbling words on her notepad. “Last Question. What are you?”

“Human, you’re telling me you’ve never seen a human before?” Emile said.

“Their aren’t any in Equestria, so no.” Twilight said.

“Equestria?” Emile questioned.

“Yes, that is the country your currently in.” Twilight said. Emile rubbed his head,

“Okay, your telling me I’m on a planet inhabited by talking ponies ruled by a princess.”

“Two, actually. Princess Celestia was the one you met. Her sister, Princess Luna, is the other.” Twilight said with a smile. Emile moved the tray of his lap and stood up,

“Alright, where’s my armor. I’m gonna try to find out how I got here and how to get back.”

Rarity trotted down the stairs, Emile’s armor enveloped in her levitation spell.

“I took the liberty of cleaning it. It smelled horrid, how long have you been wearing it.” She said.

“I don’t know, I lost track after the first month or so.” He said. He laughed a bit but a sharp pain in his side stopped him. Fluttershy trotted down the stairs behind Rarity. When she saw Emile in pain she instantly rushed to his aide.

“Oh, Mr. Emile, you shouldn’t be moving so soon.” She said trying to ease him back onto the couch. Emile just pushed passed her to his armor and began equipping it.

“I’ve had worst.” Emile said

He slide his helmet over his head and walked out the door, leaving the three manes sitting in the cottage.

“I can’t help but to feel bad for him.” Rarity said.

“Yeah, I know.” Twilight said, walking away.

Emile walked through the small town he learned was named “Ponyville”. He walked pasted a tree with windows and a balcony. He just shock his head and tried to ignore it. Ponies were giving him looks of curiosity, he even had a few of them come up and thank him. He proceeded through the town until he came to a building that appeared to be made out of gingerbread. A sign hanging over they door read “Sugercube Corner”.

At this point the felt like he was being watched. He looked into the window but all he saw was a pink mist that quickly disappeared. He walked about a block down the cobblestone street, still the uneasy feeling of being watched in his gut. He turned back to the gingerbread building. The door was wide open. He checked his motion tracker but only picked up the ponies that were walking passed him on the street. He walked until he was under a giant cloud house.

“What the fuck is this, Why is every house made out of some weird material?” he said aloud. A yellow dot appeared on his motion tracker. It moved from 25 meters to 5 almost instantaneously. He turned just as the blip hit his position. Something hit him in the chest and knocked him to the ground.

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Your that monster that killed that other monster. I need to throw you a party.” the hyper pink pony said as she bounced up and down on Emile’s chest. Emile rolled out from under her and picked her up by the scruff of her neck. He was surprised by how light she was.

“Now who are you?” he asked.

“I’m Pinkie Pie, party pony extraordinaire.” she said in a overly happy tone.

“Did you eat to much sugar this morning or something?” Emile said.

“You’re funny.” Pinkie said with a snort. Meanwhile, up in the cloud house, Rainbow Dash was just waking up at two in the afternoon. She stepped out of her front door and picked up the newspaper when the voice of her friend caught her ear. She peered over the edge of the cloud and saw the hulking mass that is Emile holding Pinkie. She sprung into action, diving off the cloud and flying towards the Spartan.

“Put her down!” she commanded. Rainbow came to a dead stop as she collided with Emile, who only stumbled a little while she fell on the ground. He pinned her down with his boot.

“Relax, I’m not going to hurt her or you.” Emile said, trying to calm her down. She squirmed for a few moments but gave up. Meanwhile, Applejack was nearby, pull an apple cart. She saw her two friends in the hands of Emile and the sprinted into action. She unlatched the apple cart from her back and sprinted towards Emile. Once she was close enough, she turned and bucked him in the back with all her might. Inside Emile’s helmet, the bar that represented his shields dropped to three quarters strength. Emile spun around, releasing both Pinkie and Rainbow. He whipped around, wielding his shotgun in one hand and pointed it at Applejack. She was surprised and scared, both by the fact that he had just shrugged off a bucking. He lowered the weapon after realizing it was just another pony.

“Why the hell is everyone attacking me today?” Emile asked, stowing the shotgun on his back.

“Ya mean you weren’t hurtin’ ma’ friends?” The orange pony asked. Emile shock his head.

“Oh, well ah’m sorry then Sugercube. Name’s Applejack.” she said, holding out her hoof.

“Emile.” he said, shaking it. He noted how unbelievable strong she was. She brought down his shield with a single kick.

“Well, I’d like to stay and chat but I got work to do.” She said. He saw Twilight running across the field towards him. When she got to him she was out of breath and nearly collapsed.

“I got… a letter… from the princess,” she huffed, “She wants… to talk… to you… at the castle… tomorrow.” she levitated up a set of train tickets, enough for Emile, Twilight, and her friends. Emile let out a sigh. He hated going to formal occasions.

"There wont be any cameras right?" asked the skull armored spartan-III
