Equestrian Spartan

Mad Horse troops see the incoming attack and quickly get ready. One of the commanding officers screams, “Get the snipers and the new machine guns ready.”  Some of the MH troopers already start firing their guns and flares at the incoming attackers. When the Royal Guard tries to attack back, a few of them actually do some damage against MH troopers, while the others bump into each other or accidentally engage in friendly fire on their fellow soldiers.  The castle’s new defenders laugh at the fails in the Royal Guard’s ranks. The snipers arrive and start firing at the charging troops. Their first of many victims was Captain Butterscotch. The commanding officer says, “Never mind about the machine guns, we don’t need them.”

After seeing their captain and a lot of their fellow guards fall, they get scared and try to make a run for it. Discord flies over the Royal Guard and snaps his fingers. The attacking MH troopers’ weapons turn into rubber guns. The Royal Guard retreat even faster with the sight of their new advantage.

Before Discord could do more damage against MH troopers, beams from the castle capture Discord and bring him to the courtyard. Another commanding officer says, “Quick, cut off his thumbs. Without his thumbs, he can’t use his powers even if he does get out.”  A pyro pulls out an ax while a trooper comes up with a blade coming out of his glove. The trooper and the commanding officer begin to laugh deviously and even the pyro, in his muzzled voice, laughs along with his comrades. Discord laughs and says, “You guys are kidding… right?” The pyro and the trooper get closer and Discord stops laughing. “No, don’t take away my favorite toys. I’ll fight for you if you...” The officer says, “Shut up, you had your chance but you chose who your loyalty is to. I’m pretty sure you need to lie in order to be a decent chaos god. Now boys, cut off his power.” The pyro chops off the thumb of the lion paw while the trooper cuts off the claw thumb of the eagle claw and Discord screams in pain. The officer pulls out his gauntlet’s blade and stabs Discord. He grunts and says, “Really? The same spot.”  The officer starts sucking out Discord’s powers.

Missiles fly out of nowhere and hit all over a part of the castle and it’s walls. They blow up some MH troops including some with the god catching equipment. Discord gets free from the beams, but he was too weak to do anything else. The officer pulls out the needle and says, “Colts, we got what Mad Horse wants. Run into the castle!” The pryo and the soldier say, “Yes, sir.” They run into the castle and leave behind Discord’s bones and skin body.

Meanwhile in the sky, a Pelican transporter goes over the sky blasting MH troops with it’s missiles and heavy machine guns.  They try to fight back with their bullets and flares but they bounce off of the Pelican’s armor. Unit 1 says while in the pilot’s seat, “Ha, ha, their little 30 caliber guns and flares can’t hurt the Pelican. I still can’t believe I wasn’t the one to think of taking the Pelican instead of the Warthog.” The Royal Guard in the pelican have new UNSC armor and weapons. An earth pony Royal Guardsman or in this case, Royal Guardspony says, “You have strange animals where ever you came from.” Unit 1 says, while giving MH troops hell, “These aren’t animals, they’re machines. The engineers name these rides, not me.”  The Royal Guardspony asks, “Your engineers must be really smart to make these…” Unit 1 shhes him.

One of the officers says on the radio, “This is Major Havoc, I got Discord’s energy and I’m getting the prince now. Requesting an evac, now.”  One of the pilots says, “Sorry, we cannot help…” Mad Horse says, “Blast the shield, now.” The pilot says, “But aren’t we going to wait for the shields to go down.” Mad Horse says, “Plans have changed and unlike those idiots who attacked without my orders, we are going to destroy the shield instead of charging into it.”

Unit 1 says, “That sounds bad. Ok, you guys remember everything in the conscript video that Crazy D gave us.”  Most of the guardponies either nod their heads, say yes, or both. One of them says, “I didn’t pay attention.” Unit 1 says, “Ok, either you learn quickly on the battlefield or you’re fucked.”

The Pelican descends to a spot with a lot of cover and releases the warthog that was attached to it. Unit 1 says, “Ok, you’re Ground Squad. Your orders are simple; find the prince and secure a spot for me to pick you guys up.”  One of the Guardponies asks, “What about Discord’s…”  Missiles and bullets from the outside ships destroy the magic shield and they move in.  Unit 1 says, “We’ll worry about that when we get there. Move out!” Ground Squad gets out of the Pelican and the Pelican flies off to fight Mad Horse’s air force.

Meanwhile, at a secret entrance, the forces that didn’t follow the ex captain Butterscotch, are barely coming out. Twilight sees that her shield is destroyed and tries to make another shield, but a short energy beam hits her horn and covers it with a strange energy. It cancels her spell. Twilight and the rest of a small strike force turn around to see a group of MH troopers shooting at them. They go for cover and attack back. Both sides take casualties.

Applejack turns to Twilight and asks her, “I thought ya said, you and Princess Cadance were the only ones who knew about those passages?” Twilight says, “I thought we were the only ones, but those passages are like a maze, I don’t how they would follow us.”

After a blast from the party cannon, Pinkie Pie says, “I’ll ask them.” She screams to the enemy, “How did you find us?” One of the bigger MH troopers says, “We’ll never tell…” A random trooper interrupts, “We followed the trail of streamers and shiny powder.” The big soldier smacks the random soldier. The nearby Royal Guard and even a few of the Mane 6 look at Pinkie Pie with dirty looks. She says, “Oops.”

A guardpony look to the sky and says, “Look, the shield is gone.” Another guardpony turns to him and says, “You just noticed?” The first guardpony takes a closer look at the sky and says, “There are metal birds in the sky and they are attacking each other. It looks like most of them are just attacking one in…” He gets a shot to the head. The other guardpony gets down and says under his breath, “I always knew that Observer would die talking.” He continues fighting.

Meanwhile in the dogfight, Unit 1 takes out most of Mad Horse’s air force. He sees Mad Horse’s command ship and goes straight at it. The command ship’s guns fire and destroy the Pelican’s missile launchers. The Pelican flies over the ship and fires its machine guns at the giant ship. The bullets bounce off the command ships armor.

LE says, “Unit 1, abort attack. You don’t have the firepower to take that ship.” Unit 1 says as he turns the Pelican, “But, I do have the mass.” Crazy D says, “Aw man, you’re doing something epic now, but I have to pee.” Unit 1 says as he sets his ship to ramming speed, “Hold it in or miss the action.”  Crazy D says, “Fine, I’ll hold it.”

Before the Pelican rams into the command ship’s engine, Unit 1 ejects and uses his new jet pack to land on the enemy ship. He runs on it to get out of the blast zone. The engine explodes and the command ship begins to crash towards the nearby mountain.

Unit 1 sees a tower and uses his jet pack to get on its balcony. He rolls into Celestia’s bedroom and interrupts a poker game between a pyro, core trooper, missile trooper, and a sniper. Before they could react, Unit 1 quickly draws his Magnum and kills the enemy soldiers.

Thanks to a new upgrade chip that Crazy D put on the Pelican, Unit 1 can hold up to a total of 4 weapons at a time and his grenade capacity is 4 each. Unit 1 inspects his gear and notices that he has less ammo for his guns.

Unit 1 calls Crazy D on the radio, “Hey Crazy D, your upgrade messed up the ammo capacity on my guns.” LE says, “I’ll do a scan on the chip and your armor.” Unit 1’s armor glows for a couple of seconds and then LE says, “Both scans are complete. It appears that the chip has a side effect, the more weapons you hold, the less ammo you can carry, but it also works the other way around as well.” Unit 1 says, “I hope you can fix that side effect when I come back.”

A thump is heard from the closet. Unit 1 goes into the closet and investigates. He finds Prince Blueblood all tied up, beaten up and surprisingly not bleeding. Unit 1 says, as he unties him, “Looks like they gave you the royal pain treatment.” The prince says after he rips the tape off of his mouth, “Oooww! You couldn’t have done that more gently, you…” Blueblood takes a closer look at the Spartan and says in fear “yooouu.” He faints.

Unit 1 says on the radio, “Guys, I got good news and bad news, good news is I found Prince Blueblood, and bad news is he fainted.” One of the guardponies says, “That doesn’t sounds like bad news to me.” Unit 1 says, “It is for me since I have to carry him around the battlefield.” Crazy D says, “Since you guys are on the radio; Ground Squad, go and help your friends. I’ll show you where they are with a crater.” Unit 1 says, “What a minute, this is...”

Crazy D types on a keyboard and LE says, “Firing MAC (Magnetic Accelerator Canon) round.” A loud roar is heard from the sky, a blinding light suddenly appears and it crashes to the ground as fast as it appeared. It explodes and kills a majority of Mad Horse’s troops.  Surprisingly, Most of the castle and the surviving walls are still intact. There is a fog of smoke and dust in the air.

When Unit 1 gets out of the tower with the knocked out prince on his shoulder, he gets on the radio and says, “Ground Squad, are you guys still alive?” A guardpony says, “There are 4 of us left after that light appeared.” Unit 1 says, “Crazy D, what were you thinking, using a MAC round so close to us?” A guardpony says, “Whoever this Mac is, I don’t want to anger him, again.”  Crazy D says, “Don’t worry, Pinkie knew that MAC was coming and got her group into the secret tunnel network.” A guardpony asks, “We have secret tunnels?” Unit 1 asks, “I think the better question is what makes you think that they know that MAC was already coming?” Crazy D answers, “That’s easy, Pinkie read ahead and alerted her friends.” Unit 1 asks, “Huh?” Crazy D says, “Pinkie and I can break the 4th wall so…” Unit 1 interrupts, “Did you fire MAC rounds at 3 more walls?” Crazy D sighs and says, “It’s hard to explain our power so I’ll give you guys the location of the tunnel that they are going to come out of.”

A marker appears on Ground Squad’s and Unit 1’s mini maps. Unit 1asks, “Why didn’t you do this sooner?” Crazy D says, “Oh, to thin out the enemies’ numbers by a lot and the fact that I just remembered the code for the MAC cannon. Unit 1 faceplams himself and starts to walk towards the marked area. He says on the radio, “Ground Squad meet me at the marked point.” All of the guardponies says, “Yes, sir.”

When Unit 1 arrives at the marked location with Blueblood; Ground Squad was there taking a breather. Unit 1 puts down the prince nearby the troops and says, “Looks like you guys learn quickly. That’s what going to keep you alive.” A Royal guardpony says, “Thanks, I think.”

Mad Horse’s voice says on the radio, “All surviving troops regroup at the flare.” A flare goes up in the air.

Unit 1 turns to Ground Squad and says, “You guys hold the ground here and defend off any attackers.”A Royal guardpony asks, “What are you going to do?” Unit 1 says, “I’m going to go after the enemy survivors.” The pony asks, “Why can’t we use Mac?” Unit 1 says as he leaves, “Because it would be a waste of a MAC round on such little numbers.”

Meanwhile right below the rally flare, a group of MH troopers are waiting for their leader. One of the noob soldiers asks another soldier, “Do you really think that the big boss is still alive after that crash?”  A horse in steel armor and a machine arm says, “Mad Horse always lives through everything and this will be no exception.” The noob asks, “Who the hay are you?” The steel armored soldier says, “I’m one the new Vulcan Gunner Troopers.”

The sound of gunfire and screams of pain and death are heard in the distance. Some of the MH troops are pointing at the fog with their shaking guns. More screams and gunfire are heard. The sounds grow closer as every second passed by. A glowing figure appears as the dust starts to disappear. Paranoid troops fire at it without checking if it was friend or foe.

Major Havoc says, “Hold your fire! You’re wasting ammo.” He turns to the glowing figure. “Sorry, sir. The troops are a little trigger happy because of a metal monster running around.”

The figure turns out to be Mad Horse. (A big red demon like horse with razor sharp claws instead of hooves and orange glowing eyes and belly as well as lines on his limbs.)  He says, “You mean the hired gun? That’s strange he should be back in his own time being famed from what Crazy D did… oh well.” His troops were shocked at what Mad Horse said.

Havoc asks, “That thing is one of…”  A bullet flies through the air and hits a major part of his equipment. The equipment begins to glow and make strange noises. Nearby troops scatter for cover.  Havoc’s equipment explodes and creates a pink cloud that quickly turns into a pink fog of chaos.  The fog takes a few victims, lifts up a few feet in the air, and explodes like fireworks.

Unit 1 is behind some cover and looks through his DMR’s scope to see the results of the pink fog. He sees a pile of white ash, a puddle of glowing orange goop, a chocolate statue, and a figure made of cotton candy. Unit 1 gets on the radio and says, “I possibly sighted Mad Horse and I see 4 casualties…” He walks down. “I’m going to check if he’s one of them.”

Crazy D says, “Wait a minute…Mad Horse? Unit 1 get out of there. He’s going to kill you.” Unit 1 says as he examines the chocolate statue, “Crazy D, I’m trained to kill anyone or anything besides what doesn’t try to kill me.” He looks closer at the statue’s back. “I think this is the poor bastard that had the mutant freak’s powers with the signs of exploded gear at least from the back.” Crazy D says, “That’s nice, get out of there!”

As Unit 1 inspects the white ash, a shotgun slowly comes out of the orange goop. The goop forms an arm and a claw followed by the rest of its arm and Mad Horse’s head with an evil smile.

Unit 1 says on the radio, “The white ash is sugar.” Crazy D says, “Well those are interesting last words.” Unit 1 looks at the radar. Mad Horse points his shotgun at Unit 1. Unit 1 quickly draws his magnum, turns, shoots Mad Horse’s arm off, and shoots his head. Unit 1 sarcastically says, “Oh, were you trying to be sneaky. Well… you failed.” The body falls to the ground.

Unit 1 walks away, gets on the radio, and says, “Hey Crazy D, Mad Horse is dead and we won. Now, take me home, you, oeace breaking bastard.” Crazy D says, “You can’t kill Mad Horse.” Unit 1 says as he turns around, “What are you talking about…” One of Mad Horse’s claws scratches Unit 1’s helmet, rips off part of it, gets a few cuts on Unit 1’s face, and breaks his earpiece.

Unit 1 was surprised to see Mad Horse fully recovered from his attack and shoots him with remaining ammo in his magnum. As he reloads, he witnesses Mad Horse’s amazing regeneration power and how fast it worked. They begin an epic fight and MH troopers watch the fight from out or behind cover. He used all ammo from his guns (SAW, Magnum, DMR, and SMG (sub machine gun)) but they didn’t work on the demon. He tried his grenades but most of them failed to do anything expect the cyro grenades which only slowed down Mad Horse and his regeneration powers. Unit 1 tried to fight back with weapons, he got from some of the audience, but their weapons didn’t work either. The fight felt like it lasted for hours. Mad Horse eventually broke most of Unit 1’s armor and clawed through a bunch of Unit 1’s skin and some minor damage to a few of his organs and bones. MH troops cheered as they knew it was the end for the metal demon.

Unit 1 could barely stand up; he pulls out his dagger, and yells out, “I’m going to die standing, alien!” He flips the knife to cover his mouth and he whispers to it, “Looks like you’re going to be by yourself grandpa.” Mad Horse attacks with final blow. Unit 1 dodges the attack and stabs Mad Horse really hard in the eye. Mad Horse screams in pain while he does another attack. The attack pushes Unit 1 on his back and he finally faints. Mad horse looks at the messed up body and notices that Unit 1’s heart is still beating. Mad Horse’s minions started chanting for Mad Horse to finish the Spartan.

Before Mad Horse could deliver the final blow, a hologram comes out of a strange device nearby Unit 1’s heart. Mad Horse stops his attack and he and his troops look at the hologram.

It appeared to be one of Firewalker’s recordings and starts to play. It shows a young man with burn marks all over his head and has patches of short hair in an UNSC uniform looking at the camera funny and he says, “Hey, Silent is this thing recording?” The camera shakes up and down. After the camera stops shaking, Firewalker continues, “If you are still alive, you haven’t killed my friend, yet; because he has a weird looking device. Well, I’m here to tell you it is a bomb that might work. It is suppose to go off when he dies but I don’t know if it will. Two things might happen if you kill him. My Light and Dark Mass bomb will rip, suck you up and blow your army off of the planet or nothing will happen. Just in case, nothing happens.” He flips both birds. A few seconds later, the hologram message ends.

Mad Horse thinks about the situation and then says, “We’ll kill him later after we get the bomb out of him. I don’t want to rebuild the capital from scratch.”

One of MH troopers goes up to Mad Horse shaking and says nervously, “Sir, we don’t have enough troopers to maintain Canterlot.” The soldier quickly puts 2 hooves in front of his face and says in fear, “Please don’t kill me.” Mad Horse says, “So, you gave me bad news. Well then, you’re getting promoted.”  The soldier says excitedly, “Really?” Mad Horse says, “Yes, really. I do it because I hate when my soldiers tell me the bad news late because they think I’ll kill them if they get told bad news.”

Another soldier says, “Well in that case, some of the Under Kickers are too damaged to use.” Mad Horse says, “You get promoted.”

A Vulcan Gunner says, “I think you suck.” Mad Horse says, “Then, you die.” He rips the Vulcan Gunner apart.

After the carnage, Mad Horse turns to his troops and says, “Remember troopers there is a difference between bad news and insults. Now troops, booby trap the broken Under Kickers and let’s get out of here.” He picks up Unit 1’s body. A soldier asks, “What about taking over Canterlot to control Equestria?” Mad Horse says, “Don’t worry I have a plan B.”
