The room was a filled with the quiet hum of computers, only occasionally broken by someone speaking. Which means it is nothing more than another normal day at the communications room at Equestria largest military base. It was a large room with a tiered floor that allowed everypony present to have a full view of the large display screen. Things usually remained fairly quiet here unless there were war games or simulations going on. Though that is to be expected in a country that hasn't seen a war in many years.

Suddenly a brown earthpony at a desk off to the side leans forward, with his right hoof immediately going to his headset. "Commander, if you have a moment there is something you might want to hear" he says while standing up to looking at the officers grouped in the back of the room. "What is it specialist" a yellow Pegasus mare, with a blue mane, ask as she walks over. "I am picking up a distress call on the long range scanner" the specialist responds. "There is one problem though" he continues "it is coming from outside the atmosphere of the planet but it should be entering the atmosphere within the next couple of hours". The commander leans over to look at the image that had just come in from a satellite. The wreckage, for it was little else, was unlike anything she had ever seen. "You said there was a distress call, correct?" The commander says looking at the comms specialist, "yes ma'am" is his only reply. "Then I want you to play it" she states rather flatly.

"Mayday, mayday, mayday. This is UNSC FFG-201 Forward unto Dawn, requesting immediate evac. Survivors aboard. Prioritization code: Victor 05 -3 - Sierra 0117"

After listening to it several times, the commander stands there apparently thinking. "Captain, come here" mint green Pegasus, with a chocolate brown main, hurries over and salutes "You needed me Commander?" "Yes, send word to commander Night that we need omega team in route to the site within the hour" The captain salutes then quickly leaves to get word to commander night, and to give him mission data. Commander Silver Night, a Alicorn with a dark royal blue coat and silver mane and steel blue eyes, was in his office reading over upcoming training schedules when the captain walked in and saluted. "What can I do for you captain" Night asks after returning the salute. "Sir, I was sent with orders for you and omega team to investigate unknown wreckage that will be crashing down soon out in the badlands". The commander just raises an eyebrow and asks "what is so special about all this?" "Sir, it is from space and it is sending out a distress call" the captain replies with a neutral expression. "Well I guess that is something worth looking into, you are dismissed captain" as the captain was leaving Night hit a button on his desk. Moments later a bright blue Alicorn, nicknamed nitro, with a tricolored tail (yellow on outside, then orange, with red in the center), mane, and crimson eyes walked in. " You needed me, Night" nitro asked as he walked up to his long time friend, and commanding officers desk. "I want the rest of Omega team prepped and in the briefing room in twenty minutes." he says while gathering some of his own equipment. As Nitro goes to head for the door, night adds "oh, and let them know it is going to be a drop in recon mission. So we are going light".

Twenty minutes later Commander Night walks into the briefing room to find the rest of Omega Team waiting for him. He stops at the front of the room and takes a moment to look at the different member of the team. Most had been part of the team for years though there was a "new" kid in the mix. Off to the side was Commander Nights long time good friend Major Fire "Nitro" Storm, they had know each other seen right after they both joined the military. Whose cutie mark was a cloud of fire with a streak of fire coming out from the cloud. Then there was Captain Dusty Willow, she was a spring green and dark brown Pegasus with light moss green eyes. She was the quietest of the team but that just made her an even better sniper. Who had a single sniper bullet as her cutie mark. Then there was the "new" kid Lieutenant Meteor Blaze who had an off white coat, a bright red main, and emerald green eyes. He was the daring, almost rash, one of the team who preferred close quarters fighting to anything else. His cutie mark was a crossed combat knives on top of a grenade. Sitting off toward the back was one of the most experienced team members and one of the easiest to miss. With a black body, and smoke colored mane Captain Shadow Strike could virtually disappear. He seemed on edge most of the time, with ice blue eyes glancing around where ever he went. This came from years of being the team scout, his cutie mark was a single paw print meaning he was also a skilled tracker as well. The last member of the team was tinkering with a piece of radio equipment, 1st Lieutenant Misty Morn a Pegasus with a dirty yellow coat, grey mane, and light purple eyes. She was responsible for radio equipment, and generally all things tech related. With a very befitting cutie mark that was a handheld radio.

Night pulled himself out of his thoughts and focused on the duty at hand. "Alright listen up Omega, half an hour ago a comms specialist pick up a wreck outside the atmosphere that is playing this distress call."

"Mayday, mayday, mayday. This is UNSC FFG-201 Forward unto Dawn, requesting immediate evac. Survivors aboard. Prioritization code: Victor 05 -3 - Sierra 0117" the distress call drones out a couple of times before the whole room goes quiet again. "Our mission is simply team, we jump in from 30,000ft. Once on the ground we are to find anything of importance, and secure the area till reinforcements arrive. I am sure we aren't the only ones to hear this, and we certainly won't be the only ones to see it crash. So be prepared for anything, am I clear" the commander states briskly.

"Yes, sir" the team states as they all salute.

"Good then grab your gear and get to the plane" As the team gets up and starts filing out of the room, Nitro walks over to the commander asking "What is on your mind, Night? I haven't seen you like this in a long time".

"I don't really know, Storm. Something about all of this just seems to be off, but I am not sure why though. All I know is that others will be wanting to get a hold of anything good at the site" replies the commander as he looks at his friend. "It is about time we were headed to the plane, lets get going"

Out on the run way a small transport plane starts to warm up its engines as the team files on. In their combat suits the team was rather intimidating. It had cost the Equastrian military a lot of bits but so far they had been worth it. They were fully powered provide full protection for the wearer, but also boosting the team members natural flight abilities. The suits also where special design to were magic had little effect upon the wearer. Only a few specially trained, and enhanced soldiers were issued these Gungnir combat armor. Omega teams suits had been modified for recon missions, and for quick strike behind enemy lines. They all had active camouflage, as well as inertial damper systems to allow high altitude drops.

" Alright team listen up. Willow and Strike, you two will be jumping first. Once you two land, find some high ground for a snipers nest and watch for any activity. Morn, you and me will drop in to the south of the wreck. Nitro, take the rookie and drop in to the north. Is that clear" The only response the commander receives in green acknowledgement light from each team member.

*On the Forward unto Dawn*

"Chief, I need you." Cortana yells "Wake up John"

The chief slowly gains consciousness as the effects of the cryo sleep wear off. Dimly as if through a fog he can hear Cortana yelling his name. This causes him to wake up quickly and to pop the cover off the cryo tube. "What is it Cortana"

"I am not sure, but we are approaching a planet. If my calculations are correct we will be entering the atmosphere soon"

" Are there any drop ships, or escape pods left in the ship?" The chief asks as he retrieves his weapons from the nearby locker.

"Yes, there is a pelican drop ship located at the other side of the ship. If you hurry we can make it before the ship hits the atmosphere"

"Alright" Chief replies while pulling Cortana's data chip from the console that it was in.

Master Chief began picking his way through the corridors of the ship following the nav points that Cortana displays on his HUD. As he goes though he is also mindful to grab anything useful. By the time chief reaches the drop ship he has an arm load of weapons and magazines. Upon reaching the ship he quickly stows what he found, and raids a nearby supply locker. Then he quickly close the pelicans door, and goes to the pilots seat. As fast as the chief can he flies the pelican out of the bay, and decides to follow the crash down from a safe distance.

Hey yall,

This is my first fan-fic as well as my first crossover story. I know some of it might be a bit cheesy or just not that good. So please read this and send me a PM or post a review with ways to improve. This is the first chapter of this story and I hope that you enjoy.
