Hello, and welcome to What else is up There, my second Halo/MLP crossover and my fifth story to date.

Now there's a few things I need to mention before you start reading, so please pay attention:

This is a sequel to a previous story, titled Ever wonder what's up There, so I highly, HIGHLY recommend you read that first so you're not confused or spoiled on anything that happens in this one.

Secondly, this story is M for violence, cursing, and some dark and sad moments of psychological suffering.

Enjoy! And remember to leave a review/comment!

::Start Log::

How do you— No that's not it. Phooey! Why is this thing so complicated? Is it-? Oh. It is.

Sorry about all that, I didn't know if the device was recording. Greetings, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Unicorn and survivor of the Covenant Conflict.
…

Oh…that's not pleasant. Forgive me, I…I have bad memories of the Covenant Conflict. So many bad memories….

Sigh. Sniffle.

As I was saying; the Covenant Conflict is what historians are calling the Great War that descended upon our peaceful planet back in the Spring of 2531. It all started when two species, the humans and the Sangheili, discovered each other on the planet. You see the Sangheili are a member species of the Covenant, a religious conglomeration of multiple alien species whose only goal is to find seven Sacred Rings that turn all sentient beings into Gods. The Covenant declared humanity a direct affront to their religion and ordered a mass genocide of humanity.

Oh…Thar.

Never mind that. In short; the Sangheili Ship-master was apparently ordered by the Covenant leaders, the Hierarchs, to eliminate all humans and ponies here in Equestria.

Now the humans on this planet were all members of an organization called the UNSC. According to this thingy that I'm recording myself with the UNSC stands for United Nations Space Command; they are essentially a military, exploratory, and scientific agency of the United Earth Government. Whatever that means.

But enough of all that, I'll tell you about me. I've already told you my name, so let's start with who I am exactly. I'm an intelligent pony with speech capabilities, obviously. I mean how else would I be recording this? Any who, not only am I a pony I'm a Unicorn, a pony with a horn that is a conduit for magic. There are other ponies as well; earth-ponies, Alicorns, Pegasi.

Oh…Rainbow Dash.

Forgive me; Rainbow Dash was one of my oldest friends before the Covenant Conflict. She survived the war but lost her wings. She…took her own life back in 2535.

Sniffle. Sob.

I'm sorry…just…let me.

Sobs.

Fluttershy…Pinkie Pie…Rarity…they're all…gone. They were killed by the Covenant during the Conflict.

Dashie lost her wings…and, eventually, life. Applejack lost her rear legs. I lost…my horn.

Sob. Giggle.

It's not all bad…no siree bob! AJ got mechanical replacements; the UNSC gave them to her. The ruler of our land, Princess Celestia, regrew my horn. Though I didn't get it back until 2541.

Giggle. Slight laughter. Possible insanity(?)

Yeah…it's not so bad…

…

…

I…I miss them all so much.

Sobs.

::Recording paused::

::Resume recording::

There. I'm better. I don't even know why I'm starting these logs. I got this blasted thing back in 2531 and I'm just now using it, twenty years later. Don't expect too many of these, and the ones I do record will be quite intermittent. Life around here is kinda dull now. I'm working feverishly to find new friends that would be fit to be Element carriers.

Oh the Elements of Harmony, the most powerful objects ever discovered by our species. And utterly USELESS against the Covenant.

Heavy breathing. Slowly calms until regular.

I'm…sorry. I shouldn't have lashed out like that. It's just…I get so angry so often now. The Covenant Conflict did have an effect on my psyche, but I saw a psychiatrist after the war was over. She helped me get over the deaths of my friends...but sometimes I just get so angry that we were able to do nothing to stop the Covenant onslaught.

I mean the Elements wouldn't work against the Covenant, and the Princesses let the humans do all the work while they just sat back and...no, I shouldn't think like that. I'm sure the Princesses did all they could to help the UNSC battle the Covenant. And then the Covenant attacked Canterlot and we lost Luna.

Luna...the Princess of the night...she had so much to learn about her subjects, so many things to do.

Oh, Luna...

Giggle. Slight laughter. Signs of possible mental trauma. Please contact nearest UNSC psychiatrist for mental evaluation.

I'm not crazy…no…Twilight isn't crazy…

Hyperventilating. Laughter. UNSC psychiatrist must be notified for safety of individual and those around him/her…contact with UNSC psychiatrist failed. No connection with ship-board systems detected.

I…maybe I should lie down.

This is Twilight Sparkle, signing off.

::End log:

So that's the first chapter, and it basically recaps the major events of Ever Wonder what's up There. The following chapters will be written as normal but if you'd like I could do a few more audio log chapters, get some insight into Twilight's emotions and thoughts as the story goes on.

I hope you enjoyed, and I hope you stick around for the rest of this story.

Until then I'll see you in matchmaking(no homo.)

Oh God, you don't want lawsuits...you want EVERYTHING: Thar 'Saramee, Commander Michael Preston, and all related characters belong to me. Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, and all related characters belong to Hasbro. My Little Pony belongs to Hasbro. Halo belongs to 343 Industries.
