Chapter One: Arrival
The year is 2555 three years after the events of Battle of Installation 00 and the disappearance of the Master Chief and two years after the official cease fire of the Human-Covenant War. The UNSC still fights the Covenant Loyalist on a group of abandoned moon colonies an Orbital Defense Station was positioned to wait for the arrival of civilians to recolonize, but the UNSC lost contact with the station. On a Pelican Spartan Team Paradox is sent to the station to set the com-units back online. Spartan-237 is talking with 551 on the cockpit of the ship.
“Jackie.”
“Yes.”
“What do you have on the station?”
“Well from what I have been given the station has encountered three Corvettes before we lost contact with them, a message went through before they lost contact. They have planted a Covenant bomb. The station has set up a bomb as well.”
“What kind of bomb?”
“Remember what happen to Sierra-052?”
“Oh…it’s that kind of bomb.”
“Commander?”
“Yes.”
“I also have Intel that we have to save a Spartan IV.”
“Your point.”
“Why are we risking our lives to trying to save a IV.”
“Jackie.”
“Yes.”
“I know what happen in Operation: Katana.”
“Like.”
“Like that because of a Spartan IV Kathy is dead.”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s just hope this one isn’t a hotshot. There’s no in the UNSC for hotshots.”
“Understood sir.” Luke shouted from the cockpit.
“617! 157! You’re up ready your weapons and grab a jetpack. The hanger door is jammed so you need to open it manually
from the inside.” As the Pelican was near the emergency door the bay door of the ship open. Spartan-617 and 157 flew towards the door.
“Ok Cindy you’re up.” While she was opening the door Luke said through the talkies.
“617 as soon as you open that door I need you and 157 to continue on. Look for the bomb and the Spartan VI. The rest of us well try to get communication back online and the engine.”
“So there is no gravity with in the station.”
“Correct.” Cindy opened the door and the two walked to the emergency controls to open the door. As the door opened 617 and 157 entered a tram.
“Daniel did you noticed that there was still a Frigate on the hanger?”
“Yeah I think we still have troops inside the ship.”
“Where are the other Corvettes?”
“Two were taken out by the Super-Mac and the third is using a boarding tube to enter the station.” As the tram continued its course they began to hear Brutes talking. “Get down.” They crouched down and they slowly looked over. They saw dead bodies of both UNSC and Covenant a Brute turned back and he saw the tram move. It made a stop and the doors opened. One Brute said.
“What do you see?”
“Nothing just a moving tram.” The doors closed and it continued to move. Cindy said.
“That was close.”
“Too close. Good call on hiding on the sides.”
“Thank you sir.” The heard gunshots.
“Those are Battle Rifle rounds.”
“Then we must be close sir.”
“On the next stop we engage no matter what enemy we are standing in front of.”
“Ok.” The tram made its next stoop. They stood in front of two Hunters.
“Engage!” The two ran towards the behemoths 157 evaded the massive shield of the hunter and she fired her DMR. It swung again and it penetrated the wall the alien tried to pull its shield off but it didn’t budge. The Spartan pulled out her knife and she jumped on its back and she began to cut the eel like worms until the behemoth gave in. 617 threw a grenade causing the back to break. The hunter swung its shield while the Spartan jumped over it while doing a barrel roll. He stick the landing and he fired his Assault Rifle on its back the Hunter fell to the ground dead. Cindy walked to 617.
“Daniel next time you say we engage no matter what enemy we are standing in front of. Make sure that they are not Hunters.”
“Why?”
“They make us waste too much ammo.”
“True.” They walked to the direction of the gunfire. A group of Brutes were trying to break down a door. “Take them down!” the fired at the group. One fired a Brute Shot Daniel set a Drop Shield and the jumped out of the bubble on the sides where large crates were set. Cindy shot three head shots all kill.
“Daniel is it me or are these Brutes shieldless!”
“Might be a trap! Once we take them out keep your guard on!”
“Already doing that!” when the last Brute fell the two Spartans walked up to the.
“Cindy.”
“Yes.”
“Open the door.” The female Spartan use an overwrite code to open the door. They walked in the room the Covenant
bomb was in the middle of the room. They also noticed that the gravity was back on. The rest of the team must have restarted the engine
“Daniel.”
“Yeah.”
“Didn’t the Commander said that there was a Spartan IV here?”
“Yeah.”
“Then where is he.”
“Don’t know but I want you to disarm that bomb Cindy.” She walked to the bomb as she crouched down a barrel of a gun
clanked on her head.
“Don’t you dare disarm that bomb.” 617 said.
“What the hell are you doing?” the Spartan IV looked at the Spartan III.
“I can’t believe I’m being saved by the previous Spartan Programs. No one is disarming the bomb until I am saved by my
branch of the program.”
“157.” Cindy nodded and she round-kicked the Spartan-IV when he fell she elbowed him and then she punched him on his ribcage. Then she pulled out her pistol and 617 aimed his rifle at him. Daniel said.
“What the hell is wrong with you?!”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing! Cindy pin him against the wall!” from behind the door.
“617 stand down!” 617 and 157 turned back. Daniel said.
“Commander we found the Spartan IV but he nearly blew 157’s head off.” Luke turned to the Spartan as he walked
towards the three along with the rest of the team.
“Why were you going to blow the head off of my Spartan?”
“I…”
“Do you know who you are standing in front of?”
“No.”
“211 why don’t you tell him.”
“You are standing in front of Spartan Team Paradox you piece of shit.”
“Wait you’re Paradox Team.” Luke answered.
“Correct.” He turned to Daniel. “617 why are our motion trackers jammed.” The Spartan IV answered.
“It’s a jammer I looked all over the station but I can’t find anything.”
“157. 617 release him. 157 disarm the Cov bomb” They let go of him. “What’s your rank?”
“I’m Spartan-781 –Lieutenant Kenji of the Spartan IV Program.”
“So Lieutenant you said that a jammer is taking out our trackers.
“Yes.” Cindy called.
“Sir.”
“Yeah.”
“Bomb is disarmed.”
“Acknowledged.” 781 said.
“Um…Commander?”
“Yes.”
“Just what time is it?”
“It’s 15:07. Why.”
“SHIT!” He ran to the control panel. “We have three minutes before the Slip-Space bomb goes off.
“What then deactivate it!”
“I can’t only the station’s A.I. can.”
“The set the A.I.
“She’s in sleep mode.” Luke walked to the panel and he saw the range of the bomb.”
“781 the range of the bomb is too large.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean tha…”

Commander Luke shook his head and he began to get up. He saw his team and the Spartan IV on the ground. He looked for the file for the A.I.
“Candace.”
“Yes Commander Luke.”
“Finally you’re awake.”
“My apologies I was set to sleep mode. I have been awake for quite some time and I know what happen.”
"What happen to my team?”
“They’ll be fine.”
“What’s the damage on the station?”
“Beside the damage done by the firefight. Zero.”
“But the bomb.”
“The range Slip-Space bomb was too large. When it detonated it was basically like you traveled into a Slip-Space rupture
the corvette attached to the station was destroyed during the process.”
“What?”
“Yes. The Frigate is still on the station I don’t know on the damage but its shields were on when the bomb went off.”
“I see.”
“I also have to inform you that we are orbiting and unknown planet.”
“Huh.” Luke looked out of blast shields. “So now we’re listed MIA.”
“Correct.”
“Candace.”
“Yes Commander.”
“When my team wakes up I want you to lead them to the Frigate we’re exploring the planet.”
“Understood.”
“One more thing are there still Covenant on the ship?”
“Negative.”
“Perfect.” He walked out of the room making his way towards the frigate.
Two hours later
The rest of Paradox Team woke up as well of the Spartan IV. They made their way to the frigate. As the entered the bridge Luke was waiting. Jackie said.
“Commander.”
“Did you bring Candace?”
“Yes.”
“Ok.
“314 I want you to drive this ship manually since it was damaged. Did Candace give you the Intel?” he nodded. Then he
walked to the controls.
“Leaving the station in 3…2…1.” the ship began to leave the hanger and into the planet’s atmosphere. As soon as they
entered the atmosphere 314 noticed something wrong with the ship. The frigate entered too hot the Spartan struggled to
pull up the nose of the ship.
“Commander! The ship is dropping too fast!”
“Try to slow her down Warrant Officer!”

“Princess Celestia we are all honored that you are visiting us. Likewise to you Princess Luna.” The Celestia responded.
“Oh Twilight you know I have no trouble visiting my star pupil.”
“Thank you your highness I think we are ready for your surprise.”
“Of course.” She turned to her sister. “Luna did you bring the items that are needed.”
“Of course Celes…” she was cut off in the middle of her sentence as she witness the flaming object falling.” Celestia
asked.
“Sister are you ok?”
“Turn around.” She turned back. A pale yellow Pegasus asked.
“Wh…wha…what is that…thing?” a white unicorn walked to her to comfort her friend.
“Please Flutteryshy try to calm down.” She turned to her lavender friend. “Twilight what is that thing?”
“I don’t know Rarity but, it’s heading towards the Everfree Forest. Princess .”
“Twilight I know what you are thinking. I will accompany you to that thing.” She turned to the captain. “Captain Shining

As the frigate continued to fall 314 managed to pull the nose of the ship.
“Commander 4000 meters before impact!” the ship passed by mountains. “500 meters before impact!” the ship began to
rip trees from the roots. “Prepare for impact!” the ship landed on its belly and it slide to a stop. The commander said.
“Candace report.”
“Damage done is only on the belly of the Frigate but, the MAC gun has been disabled due to the crash.”
“Anything else?”
“Yes. Life support is 74% damaged and the engines are 85% damaged. You have a lot of work to do if you want this ship
to fly again.”
“Understood. Paradox you heard her we are in on an unknown planet. We scout the perimeter two miles max.” 157 said.
“Sir what about the Spartan IV?”
“781.”
“Yes.”
“I know you are not part of Paradox team but, you need to work with us if we want to leave this planet.”
“Meaning.”
“Meaning that you are taking orders from me.”
“Fine but only until I’m back with my company.”
“Fine by me. Welcome to Spartan Team Paradox. Ok 617, 157 and 314 will accompany me to secure the perimeter the
rest get to work.” he walked up to the control panel and he grabbed the chip that Candace was in and he insert the chip in
his helmet. The team walked out of the frigate.
The four Spartans walked into the forest 617 noticed something.
“Sir I know that only 314 and I know this but the forest reminds me of the forest of Onyx.”
“Maybe 617 but if I’m right we are not with in the UNSC Colony anymore.” 157 stopped the group.
“Sir I have movement north of our position.”
“Paradox ready your weapons they may be hostiles.” The readied their weapons and they took cover behind trees. Luke l
ooked over the tree and he saw multiple figures and they were talking. “Keep your guard on they when they come near
this path step out of the trees if they attack return fire.” They walked closer the Spartans turn on their head lamps. The
ponies covered their faces with their hooves. 314 shouted.
“Identify yourself and on your knees now!” the ponies were shook in fear. Twilight said to Celestia.
“Princess what’s going on?”
“Calm down and let me do the talking.” She turned her direction towards the Spartans. “We will go on our knees but we
will identify ourselves if you turn down your lights.” Luke said to his teammates.
“314, 617 lights off. 156 keep yours on.”
“Yes sir.” Three of the Spartans turned off their headlamps still aiming their weapons at them. The ponies just stared at the metal behemoths all except Celestia had their mouths dropped. Luke said.
“We did our part now you do yours.”
“Very well. I will began to introduce myself as well as ,y sister then I will introduce the rest of my ponies. I am Princess Celestia co-ruler of Equestria and Princess of the Sun.” Luna continued.
“And I am Princess Luna co-ruler of Equestria and Princess of the moon.” Celestia continued.
“This is my niece Princess Cadence and her husband Captain of the Celestial Royal Guard Captain Shining Armor.” The two nodded. “And these are the Element of Harmony. Twilight Sparkle element of magic.”
“Hello.”
“Applejack the element of honesty.”
“Howdy.”
“Fluttershy the element of kindness.”
“Um…hi.”
“Pinkie Pie the element of laughter”
“Hi.”
“Rarity the element of generosity.”
“Good eveing.”
“And Rainbow Dash the element of loyalty.”
“Sup.”
“Now we have introduced ourselves. Now we would to know who you are and what and where did you come from.” Luke
thought for a second 157 said.
“Sir.”
“They don’t seem to be a threat.” He walked towards Celestia Luke stood about a five inches taller than Celestia including
her horn. “Princess I am Spartan- 237 Commander Luke and leader of Spartan Team Paradox.” Celestia crocked her
head sideways.
“Spartan Team Paradox.”
“Yes. This is 314, 617, and 157. We are a mixture of Spartan II’s and III’s.” she still looked at her confused. “I’m still
guessing that you’re still confused. Why don’t you accompany us back to our ship.”
“Ship?”
“I’m guessing that you’ve noticed the big ball of flame falling from the sky.”
“Yes we did.”
“Follow us to our ship so you can meet the rest of the team.”
“They’re more of you?”
“Yes.” The princess huddled with her ponies. “I’m not sure if we should follow them.” Shining Armor answered.
“Your highness with all due respect they seem to be a threat just look at them and look at the armor that they are wearing.”
“I know but maybe we can get answers from them.” She turned to the Spartans. “We’re ready.” Luke answered.
“Perfect.” They all walked towards the direction of the frigate Twilight walked to the side of the silver Spartan. She stood
about 4’5 but comparing her height he stoop like a tree. They walked over a hill and they stood in front of the ship. All of
the ponies including Celestia were amazed of the ship. The Commander stood in front of a maintenance door.
“Few rules. You are to stay with us at all time you don’t touch anything on this ship or the consequences may lead to your death. Do I make myself clear.” The Mane Six gulped hard about what they just heard and they nodded and they walked i
nside.
One hour later
After the whole team has been introduce the two princesses Shining Armor and Cadence and the rest of the Mane Six
were in a conference room with 237 and 551. Celestia began.
“Well Commander now that we have all met I would like to know why you are here.” Luke turned to Jackie and back to the
ponies.
“Maybe we should start from the beginning from our past.” Luna said.
“How long ago?”
“Well our current date if 2555 but our story began before that and our war began in2525.” Cadence said.
“W…war?”
“We are known as a small-large group of genetically-engineered Super-Soldiers known as Spartans.” Celestia said.
“Genetically-Engineered as in messing with your body parts?”
“Yes. I am known as a Spartan II and Jackie here is a Spartan III. Kenji is known as a Spartan IV.” Shining cut in.
“And what’s the difference you’re all called Spar-tans” Jackie answered
“Not every humans in the UNSC is a Spartan. And the difference is that Spartan IIs although they are the older generation
they are the most efficient of the other two later generations. Spartan IIIs are more massed produced we are still stronger
that an average human but not like the IIs but, our number build up our strengths. And the IVs well they are not like us and they are not trained the same like us.” Celestia said.
“Like?”
“Spartan II candidates we abducted at the age of six and the training began from there. IIIs were orphans from the cities that the Covenant destroyed.”
“Covenent?” Luke said.
“I think our A.I Candace should tell you about the Human-Covenant war.” Though the course of the next few hours the A.I told the story of the Great War along with images and videos, the Covenant and their religion. She told them about hoe the war began and how the enemy was able to burn planets into glass from orbit. The battles that took place on land and space and notable soldiers such as Sergeant John Forge, Sergeant Ghost, Spartan Red team, Sergeant Johnson and Noble team and about the Halos and the Ark.
“After the Battle of Installation 00 Spartan-117 is now lost in space. By the year 2553 casualties from records are twenty billion and we are still currently taking out the Covenant Loyalist.” All of the ponies sat shock of the dreadful story that humanity has faced. Fluttershy was sobbing along with Rarity and Pinkie Pie Twilight, Shining and Cadence just sat with shocked expression. Luna said.”
“Tw…twenty billion casualties. I can’t believe the numbers.” The A.I continued.
“You better believe it. We have faced hardship for almost three decades.” Celestia said.
“Commander I’m sorry for what has happen in your lost. But now I would like to know how you arrived here.” He answered.
“Well there was a Defense Station that lost communication and my team was sent in to check out the situation. We encountered Covenant Loyalist the crew of the station had set up a Slip-Space bomb to destroy the station. The range of the station was too large so when it went off it took the station and the frigate to this part of space. When we tried to land the ship…”
“You lost control and you crash landed here.”
“Yes.”
“Commander from what we have witnessed you are a threat to my subject.”
“Well if you’re going to arrest us that will be a problem knowing that Spartans are not allowed to be taken prisoner. And if
you are going to arrest us then you fight us.”
“Let me finish. You’re a threat to my subjects due to your violent war. Equestria is a land of peace with nearly no violence and it has been a very long time since I have seen the presents of war.” Luke asked.
“How long?”
“Over 1000 years ago.”
“What? You’re saying that you are over 1000 years old.”
“Correct.”
“Fuck.”
“Well back to what I was saying. If you and your team will accompany me to Canterlot was can negotiate a few things.”
“As long as my ship stays in my possession.”
“It will.”
“Good. The faster we get to this Canterlot the faster we can return and continue on with repairs.” He turned to
Jackie. “Jackie inform 221 and 133 to ready the Pelicans were leaving to the city.”
“Yes sir.” Rarity asked.
“Pelicans? Why are we going to ride a bunch of birds from what you have told us your armor weighs 1000 pounds?” Luke
answered.
“You’ll see.” They walked out of the room and into the hanger of the ship where two Pelicans were ready to fly. “Paradox
you know how to split up. Kenji you’re with me.” The drop-ship’s engines roared. Within seconds they were in the air.
Celestia was in the Pelican with the Commander. “Which way to the city?”
“North Commander.”
“North it is.”
“But first I want to make a quick stop in Ponyville.”
“Ok come to the cockpit you’re my guide.”

Time: 10: 09 P.M
The drop-ships flew over the forest Twilight was curious about how was the large metal object able to fly without any wings. On one was Spartan- 237, Spartan- 551, Spartan-617, Spartan- 427, Spartan- 157, and Spartan-123 along with the two Princesses, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, also the ship was carrying a Warthog with a mounted Gauss Cannon. On the other Pelican were Spartan- 314, Spartan- 211, Spartan-133, and Spartan-781 along with Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Cadence and Shining Armor. 211 noticed a large object on the motion tracker.
“Hey 314 check this out.”
“What is it?”
“We pick up something on the tracker.” the Spartan III sat on the co-pilot seat and observed the radar.
“I see it…but what is it?”
“I don’t know.”
“I’ll contact the Commander. Keep your eyes peeled and be ready to take action.”
“Understood.” 314 contacted Luke.
“Commander.” It took a moment to answer.
“Commander here.”
“Sir we have picked up a large object following our tail what should we do?”
“Well if you didn’t had those ponies then you might have engaged but…” 237 heard the voice of Celestia from the troop-
bay.
“237.”
“Yeah.”
“I want your team to go check it out while we continue making our way to the town.”
“Understood but, what about the ponies.”
“Protect them with your lives.”
“Understood.”
“You heard her now go.” 314 looked at 211 and he nodded at him as the ship turned direction 314 walked to the door-bay and he closed the door of the ship. Cadence asked.
“Um…Spartan why did the ship turn direction?”
“How do you that we changed course?”
“I have wings I know.”
“Ok…well our radar had picked up a large object and we’re going to check it out.
“How big is the object?”
“Bigger than a Wraith but smaller than a Phantom. Spartans ready your weapons.” The armored humans loaded there firearms and the ponies just looked at them.” 211 shouted from the cockpit.
“Sir multiple life forms approaching our position! They seem to be the same thing that we found earlier.”
“211 ready the gu…” the ship shook. The turret on the ship was shot. “211 what the fuck was that?!”
“Some kind of…” he was cut off by a loud roar. Rainbow Dash recognized the roar.
“DRAAAAAAAAAAAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!”
“What?!” the ship shook again. 314 ran to the cockpit 211 was struggling to take down the oversize lizards but their fire breath wasn’t enough to melt the metal of the Pelican. “211 status!”
“These things are firing fire balls at us but, they don’t seem to do much damage.”
“Must be because of the ship’s alloy.” A dragon landed on top of the ship and it began to slam its claws on the Pelican.
“Sir if that thing takes out one of our engines we’re…” the ship began to fall. 211 tried to make the Pelican land on its belly. As it landed the ship tore trees and bushes from its root until it made a stop near a lake. 314 said.
“Is everyone okay.” He heard moaning. “I think that’s a yes.” He walked to the back. He turned on his headlamps the Spartans stood up like nothing has happened but the ponies had some difficulties.
“CADENCE!” Shining Armor shouted as he saw his wife bleeding from the left side of her forehead.”
“Shining I’m fine really.”
“But you’re bleeding.”
“Please I’ll be fine.” 314 walked to the young couple and he looked at Cadence’s injury.
“She’ll be fine but, I need to treat the wound to prevent it from infecting. 133 you’re up.” He walked to them and 314
walked back to the cockpit. “211 status report.”
“Ship’s dead and we only have enough life support of the ship to make one call.”
“I’ll contact the Commander.”
“Sending all power to the communicator.”

Time: 10: 33 P.M
Pelican 934 just entered the city the roar of the ship’s engines interrupted the sleeping residents. As the ship landed near Twilight’s home a call from Pelican 743.
“Commander this is Spartan-314 do you copy?”
“Commander here.”
“Sir our Pelican is down I repeat eli…n is do…n
“You’re braking up what happen.”
“Dragons ha… aken…do…n our sh… we need an es…rt… sending you the corr…inates.”
“Coordinates received.”
“Hurry Comman…” a large roar cut him off and the signal died.”
“314…Spartan what happened.” Nothing. The passengers had already walked inside Luke walked in last he had to crouch down due to the height of the door. Celestia said.
“Is everything alright Commander?”
“No. my team’s ship is down. I’m going to look for them. Jackie you’re with me on the hog. 617 you will take the Pelican for an escort when I com you.”
“Understood sir.”
“The rest of you stay here. Until I return.” The Commander walked outside and he was stopped by the group of angry pony residents. One threw him a rock and he fired his rifle in the air.
BANG! –the sound of the gun forced the ponies in fear. Celestia ran outside
“Commander what are you doing!?”
“Scaring them.” He walked to the Pelican and he released the hog from the magnetic grappling hooks. Celestia walked up to him face to face.
“How dare you scare my subjects like that? I’m sure that you do that to scare your people to contain order but here we do things differently.”
“Well we may be different species but your ponies act a lot like humans.” He climbed on the hog. “Now if you would excuse me?” The motor of the ship roared Jackie joined him on the hog and the two entered into the forest.

Time: 11: 01 P.M
The Spartans used the door-bay, and one of the engines of the ship as cover to hold back the dragons that were
attacking. 314 shouted.
“Come on hold them back until the Commander finds us! 211 do we have any Spartan Lasers or Rocket Launchers!”
“We have both!” 133 shouted.
“Toss me a Laser!” as soon a 133 obtained the weapon he charged it up and he fired the crimson beam at one of the
dragon’s head. The ponies who were taking refuge in the damaged Pelican witnessed the death of one of the dragons as the beam tore right into the lizard's skull and burning through the end. The lizard fell to the ground. Cadence looked at the corpse and then she fainted Shining caught her before she hit the ground. The stallion took his wife to the cockpit for safety. Rarity just ran to one end of the ship to puke. Rainbow said to Applejack.
“Wh…what are they do?”
“AH think that dragon is…dead.”
“Dead so you’re telling me that they just killed a dragon!”
“Yeah.”
“Great just graaaah!” she took cover from a ball a flame that nearly burned her head off. “That was close. As I was saying we’re with some psychopathic killers.”
“As much as ah agree with ya. You have to remember that they are soldiers.”
“Look out.” The two mares took cover. 314 charged at one dragon. The beast swung its tail and then its arm the Spartan dodged both attack. On the third attack he grabbed onto the tail and he grabbed onto the spines to climb onto its head. On the head of the beast 314 shout 25 rounds in the skull the dragon died almost instantly. He regrouped with the team.
“Only nine are left keep it up.”
Location: Everfree Forest, Equestria
Date: November 20, 2555
Time: 12: 58 A.M
Luke and Jackie were diving to the coordinates that 314 has sent him. The path to the pelican may have been a mission for any wooden carriage but for the warthog this was no problem the vehicle shredded through the vegetation of the forest. The Spartans knew they were close when they heard gunfire.
“We’re close Jackie take the gun.”
“Yes sir.” She placed her Battle Rifle on her back and she back-flipped to the gun. She grabbed the gun-grip and she pulled her feet on the back. “Ready!”
“Then hang on.” He contacted 617. “617 we’re ready for evac.”
“Understood.”
As the Commander made his way to his teammates the Spartans were pushed back to the inside of the Pelican. 781 said as he fired his last rocket from his Rocket Launcher.
“314 we’re pinned back inside the Pelican we have to get these ponies out of here.” 314 responded.
“I know that but the evac is t…” he stopped as he heard the familiar sound of w weapon. The Gauss round struck the one of the dragons in the back of the head as the lizard fell the hog jumped off a cliff Jackie continued to fire the turret. The hog landed in front of the last two lizards. They made their attacking pose. Luke counted down
“3…2…1” missiles flew from the sky and attacked the dragons the ponies in the pelican covered their ears from the sound of the explosions. The dust cleared and the Pelican descended from the sky the door opened. 314 shouted from the damaged Pelican.
“Ponies we have evac come on before more of those things show up!” the group of ponies ran to the Pelican and then the Spartans. The Commander walked to the cockpit.
“617 get us out of here.”
“Yes sir.” 617 locked onto the Warthog and he set course to Ponyville.
Five minutes later
The drop-ship landed next to the tree the ponies exited the ship first and into the house Twilight noticed Cadence’s injury.
“Cadence!” she ran to her. “What happen?!”
“Nothing Twilight I’m fine.” Twilight turned to the Commander. “What did you do to her?!”
“Nothing if that’s your answer.”
“Nothing she’s hurt and it’s your…” Shining Armor shouted.
“Twilight!” she turned to her brother. “They didn’t do anything!”
“But…”
“That’s enough!”
“O…ok.” It has been a long time since her brother has yelled at her not even when Twilight has pointed out that the importer Cadence was an imposter. Luke continued.
“Captain it’s alright.”
“Alright my sister is yelling at you when you saved our lives.”
“Don’t worry about that. A mare yelling at me will don’t make me feel less of a Spartan.”
“Still Commander one of your Spartans treated my wife’s wounds I owe you one.”
“No you don’t it’s my job as a Spartan.” Celestia called from behind.
“Commander.”
Yes ma’am.”
“What happen why do my ponies look so…scared?” Rarity responded.
“BECAUSE THEY ARE MURDERS!” Celestia was shocked to what she has heard.
“Wh…what?”
“They killed a group of dragons!” the alicron turned to the Spartan.
“What? You killed on my…land.”
“We had to. Your ponies were in danger.”
“I know but, you could have used other methods.”
“Like what?”
“I…I I I…”
“Exactly. We had to do what we had to do.”
“But…” she knew that it was pointless to consult with them. These humans have been fighting for almost three decades.
Fighting is all they know what to do when they have to use it. “You are…right.” Twilight was shocked that the princess has
given up so easily.
“Princess.”
“No Twilight. These humans have been scared by the acts of war. And even though their actions were against Equestrian Laws their actions saved your friends. So if they have to kill again then let it be. Only and only if it is necessary and for the right reason.” The Commander responded.
“Don’t worry princess we know when to use our training when needed.”
“Well I think we should get some rest. Now due to your size finding you a place to sleep will be hard.” Applejack answered.
“They can use the barn.” Twilight said.
“Um…AJ can I speak to you.” They walked to another room. “AJ what are you thinking they a killers think of what they are
capable of doing.”
“Twi they saved my life the least I can do is offer them a place to stay.”
“Yes they did but they killed innocent creatures.”
“Innocent? INNOCENT! Those lizards tried to killed us and they did what they thought what was the right thing to do. Twilight what if I was killed.”
“I…I… I’m sorry it’s just that I’m worried about my friend that’s all. You guys mean a lot me.”
“I know Twilight. I know.”
“Just be careful ok.”
“Ok.” The two regrouped with the crowd. “Ok let’s get going.” The Spartans followed Applejack to her farm. “Well here it is Sweet Apple Acres and here’s the farm. Make yourselves at home.” The mare walked out of the barn leaving the humans behind.
“Spartans get some shut eyes we’ve had a wired day today.” Celestia had to return to Canterlot to inform her staff and her guards. Luna stayed behind to help the soldiers feel more comfortable

Paradox Team has been awake since 6 in the morning Luna and Twilight met up with Applejack to speak with the Commander. The orange mare was bucking apples as she was picking up the apples that have landed on the ground she noticed the two mares walking up to her.
“Howdy Twilight. Hello Princess.” Luna responded.
“Please call me Luna.” Twilight continued.
“Hi Applejack. Are our “guest” up yet.”
“Yup they’re helping me take down some dead trees.”
“Can you take me there?”
“Of course. Right this way.” The Spartans were at a far end of the farm as they walked AJ was talking to her friend. “Now I will say this when they offered I tried to turn them down but, they said it’s the least they can do for letting them sleep here
and well I offered them tools to cut down the trees but, they didn’t needed.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Y’all see.” They walked over a hill. The Princess and the unicorn were shocked of what they were staring at. When
Applejack said that they didn’t needed cutting tools she was serious. The Spartan tore down the trees with their bare
hands pulling them out from the roots of the trees. The lavender mare shook her head and she walked to the Commander.
“Commander-237.”
“Yeah.”
“May I speak with you for a moment?”
“Sure.”
“Ok follow me.”
In a different part of the farm Twilight and the Princess need to speak with Luke.
“So what’s the problem?”
“I’ll let Princess Luna tell you.” Luna cleared her throat and she began.
“Spartan we have a situation about your presents.”
“Like.”
“Like that your ship was visible enough to be seen in Vaporia and Mexicolt. The Ibex Empire and the Griffin Kingdom are
two countries that we want to keep out of Equestria due to their thirst of imperialism.
“Imperialism?”
“Yes they thought that the ball of flame was a meteorite and they crossed the borders. We have a bad encountered but,
the two countries didn’t like the situation.”
“I still don’t follow how does this concern my team?”
“Well my sister returned to Canterlot and she informed the staff and all of the Royal Guards about your presents and from
the borderline of Equest and Griffin…well…”
“Let me take a guess. Some dumbass mentioned us here.”
“As much as I want you to be wrong... it's true.” The Commander placed his hand against his visor.
“Forgive for saying this but, your sister is a complete dumbass.” Twilight shouted.
“Hey don’t talk to Celestia like that!”
“Just did. What are you going to do about it?” he turned his body to the mare. Terrified of his size she simply lowered her
head. Luna continued.
“Commander.”
“Yeah.”
“The reason that I am telling you is because I want you to be aware of the situation. And the Griffins have been known to
be warriors and they have invaded lands.”
“Compare to us they don’t stand a chance.”
“I hope so.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Commander we are…well the Ibex and the Griffins want to declare war on us if we don’t turn you in.” 237 slowly moved
his hand towards his pistol. “My sister wants to prevent war and she’s considering it but, I think there is another way than
turning you in. I know you are reaching for you weapon.” She said without looking down.
“Sorry but, we’re not turning ourselves in.”
“I know and I will not force you to. I will say this Commander.”
“What?”
“I recommend that you return to you ship and start repairing it.”
“Now?”
“Now.” The alicorn started to walk away.
“Princess.”
“Yes.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
“This is not your world Spartan. You and your team have been through a lot in your past. I think that you have had
suffered enough.” She kept walking being followed by Twilight. Luke regrouped with his team.
“Paradox grab your gear and report to the Pelican.” They looked at him wondering why. “Did I stutter?!” they reacted fast
and they followed Luke back to the ship. They arrived at the ship as the team entered the Pelican Celestia arrived on a
carriage followed by about 100 Pegasi guards. Luke knew what was going on he walked to the alicorn and she began to
speak.
“Commander-237 where are you going?”
“Back to the Frigate.”
“Your ship?” he nodded. “I’m afraid I can’t let you do that I need you to accompany me to Canterlot at once.”
“Why so you could turn us over to this Griffin and Ibex Empire.” She was shocked about his statement wondering how he
found out she turned to her sister that was next to Cadence and Shining Armor.
“You told him.”
“Yes I did.”
“Why.”
“Sister you know better than this. These soldiers have been through enough. The best thing to do is to let them finish
repairing their ship and let them leave out planet. They won’t be a threat anymore.”
“Sister it’s too late. The Griffins have their troops positioned outside Canterlot Castle.” Luna just shook her head slowly
and she said to the Commander.
“Commander-237.”
“Yes.”
“Please leave as soon as you can.” The alicorn walked inside the tree.
“You heard your sister we’re leaving rather you like it or not.” He turned just before he made his first step Celestia shot a
concussion beam from her horn. The shield of Luke’s suit took all of the damage and with is Spartan speed he grabbed
the alicorn by the neck.
“UUGGHHH” Twilight shouted.
“Princess Celestia!” the Royal Guard ready their weapons to take down Luke but, Paradox team formed a circle around
the two with their weapons aimed at them. Luke lifted her off her hooves and he said.
“Don’t you ever do that again. Do I make myself clear.” He released her. Coughing and gasping for air she stood up slowly
and she said.
“I can…not let you…” she placed his pistol on her head.
“Watch me.” He turned his attention to his team.” Paradox on the shi…” he stopped as he heard a loud explosion coming
from the city from the mountain-side. “What the hell was that?”
“They have begun the invasion.”
“Who?”
“The Griffins.”
“Well that’s your problem not mine. Paradox on the ship now.” He walked to the Pelican. Before he stepped foot.
“So you’re going to leave the innocent to die.” He closed the door and he walked to the cockpit. Jackie said to him.”
“Sir.”
“What?”
“She’s not the first who tried to take us to the enemy and she was doing for the right cause.”
“Your point.”
“My point is that they may not be humans but, they are still innocent lives in danger and who else to protect them.” The
Commander stared the engines the ship ascended in the air. The sighed and he made course to Canterlot.
“I won’t make the same mistake again.” The ponies looked Twilight ran to Celestia.
“Princess are you ok?”
“I’m fine Twilight but, I need you and your friends to meet me here at once.”
“Right away.” Luna looked outside the window as the Pelican flew towards the city. Celestia walked in.
“Luna why did you told them?”
“You know your plan was the wrong thing to do.”
“But we needed to preserve peace.”
“Peace?” she turned to her sister. “They gave you 24 hours to turn them over and they attacked before the deadline. If you
don’t mind I have a city to defend.”
“Well talk about this some other time. Now we need to capture the Spartans.”
“You are such a fool dear sister. I saw them making their way to Canterlot.
“What? Why?”
“They are protectors of the innocent why else would they go?”

Luke was over the city he opened the door Spartans 617, 427, 157, and 781 were the first to drop into hell. The four noticed civilian ponies fleeing the city. Luke hover the ship near the main entrance of the city. The Royal Guards were forced back into the city thinking fast the Commander fired missiles through the main gate killing the enemy and collapsing the door. As the ship was positioned right on the outside of the city the Spartans jumped off the ship all but, 781 landed on their feet while 781 used his thrusters to smoothen his landing. 617 just shook his head showing that the new breed of Spartans are less efficient as the previous generations 617 shouted.
“Spartans let’s show these bastards what's real warriors are!”
