Quote from ~Halo: Reach

"It worked. You did it, like you always did." Cortana said looking at Master Chief.

Master Chief looked around and spoke up. "So, how do we get out of here?"

Cortana looked down and replied softly. "I’m not coming with you this time."

"What?" Master Chief questioned disbelief in his voice.

"Most of me is down there." Cortana said looking below her. "I only held enough back-ups to get you off the ship."

"No! That's not...We go together." Chief said, trying to convince Cortana.

"It's already done." Cortana replied softly, her voice cracked.

"I am not, leaving you here." Chief said in a serious tone.

"John," Cortana stated, walking up and placing her hand on his chest. She looked up at Chief's visor and spoke up again. "I've waited so long to do that."

Chief looked directly at his A.i. partners eyes. "It was my job to take care of you."

Cortana smiled. "We were supposed to take care of each other." Cortana looked up. "And we did." Cortana proceeded to back away from Chief.

"Cortana, please." Master Chief said reaching out. "Wait." He said with much sadness in his voice, he was about to lose somebody close to him, somebody that has been with him for all these years, somebody that he made A promise to keep safe no matter what, somebody that was a closer friend than anyone else, his only friend.

"Welcome home, John." With that Cortana was gone, Chief's arm weakened and he just stood there. The structure behind him started to collapse as Covenant vehicles fell. And then, darkness surrounded Chief.

Beyond The Forerunner’s

Chief's eye's shot open. He was free falling, and looked to be about a couple hundred feet above. He then tried to get his jetpack to work but it didn't start up.

Fire erupted around Chief's body, as if he were hitting the atmosphere. He turned and then he hit the ground creating a crater. Not only did he fall but some debris from the Didact's station fell on him.

Darkness surrounded Chief again, he couldn't see anything. The visor lit up and it loaded up his primary functions such as shield generator, weapon load out, and motion tracker.

He slowly got up as his depleted shields recharged pushing some of the Debris from the ship off. He looked around and he realized that he was in a forest. "Where am I?" Chief questioned, he stretched his tired muscles and spotted a log to sit down on.

He tried to contact anyone on helmets communications unit. "Is anyone there, this is sierra 1-1-7, I am currently in an unknown and request for an immediate Evac." He waited for a response.

"Hello, damn it." John swore as he sighed. He looked up and saw his Assault rifle a few clips away, he got up and approached his weapon. Chief picked it up and inspected it to see if it still worked.

He aimed at a tree and shot A few bullets at it. "Still works." Chief said with a chuckle, he placed the gun on his back and sat back down on the log. "Somebody has to know where I am." He said as he sighed to himself.

In the castle of Canterlot on a balcony the sun and night goddesses themselves looked outward toward the Everfree forest where a large bang was heard. "Did you hear that sister?" Luna asked Celestia.

"Yes I did, I'm getting bad vibes from it as well." Celestia replied.

"This may sound strange but what do you suppose it is?" Luna looked at her sister.

"Couldn't be a surprise attack on Equestria, it looks to be a comet, or an asteroid." They both looked out at the giant dust cloud; all of a sudden a couple loud bangs echoed through the everfree, both sisters looked at each other with confusion. "What in Discord's oblivion was that?" Celestia said.

"It sounds like...” Luna trailed off, she had no clue what that sound was. “I don't know what it is exactly; I have never heard that sound before dear sister, it almost sounds like something piercing the sound barrier." Luna trotted closer to the edge of the balcony. "Should we get some pony on it?"

Celestia thought for a minute. "Get me some parchment and ink; I need to write a letter to Twilight." Celestia said to her younger sister as she went back in her bed chamber.

"Okay sister." Said Luna as she went to the library to get the items, seconds later she returned with both items and gave them to Celestia.

"Thank you sister, I appreciate your help." Celestia said, Luna nodded and smiled before heading out the door. Celestia then began to write the letter to Twilight.

My faithful student, Twilight Sparkle

I hope I didn't write to you at a bad time, but there was a large bang in the Everfree forest, we think that some pony was in an accident.

I would want you and your friends to check it out and make sure that every pony was okay, also we heard a strange couple of other bangs, and we don't know what it was but for your safety be careful. I don't know how dangerous it will be, but be careful.

                                      ~Your mentor,

                                        Princess Celestia of Equestria

"Hey! Twilight!" Spike called out from the second floor of the library home. "The Princess sent a letter!" He shouted running down the stairs.

"A letter, Right now?" Twilight said with confusion in her voice. She took the letter from Spike and read it. After she was done she looked at Spike. "Spike I need you to get the girls and tell them to meet me on the outside of the Everfree forest."

“She’s sending you to the Everfree forest!? Must be very urgent for the Princess to want you to go out into the Everfree." Spike said scratching his head. "Just, be careful Twi, the Everfree is dangerous."

"Don't worry Spike I'll be fine, I've been in and out of the Everfree forest multiple times. You don't have to worry."Twilight said with a smile, with that Spike nodded and was out the door to get the other five ponies.
