w CHAPTER 3

(Alpha POV)

Zack couldn't stop thinking about what happened, he kept bumping into people because of how focused he was on his mind. Even when Ty was calling his name he wasn't paying attention.

"Echo!"

Ty grabbed his shoulder to stop him.

"Echo… You alright?... You changed too, huh?"

Zack snapped back and looked at Ty who looked so much more different than he remembered. His hair was deep black with the sides light grey, his eyes had no white in them it was only deep blue with the middle more black than anyone had ever seen. Looked a little bit more muscular as well.

"Ty… What the fuck happened to us?"

"I wish I knew, man… All I can remember is…"

He stopped himself and looked around to make sure any suspicious looking people weren't around. Then he started whispering

"All I can remember is that damn meteor or whatever the fuck it was exploding and us screaming like we were all on fire…"

This triggered a few more memories in Zack's mind, his eyes widened.

"Where's Red and Hawk Eye?"

"They're outside, but careful with Hawk Eye… She's got a nasty headache."

Zack and Ty both started running outside to meet up with Nick and Kourtney, whatever went through Zack's mind just then must have been pretty important if he started running when he just got out of the bed not too long ago. They kept running till a female voice shouted at them.

"HEY GRIZZLY! WE ARE OVER HERE! "

Zack and Ty turned to face the female voice . They saw who Zack guessed was Nick and Kourtney but they didn't look the same. Kourtney now had long black hair and bright blue eyes , Nick now had blood red hair and solid white eyes. Zack ran up to them and fell to his knees crying.

" Wow Echo nice to see you care about us. " Nick said

" I'm just so happy my meat shields are still alive! " Zack said standing back up and wiping his face off. Nick and Kourtney sweat dropped.

" You're an ass! " Kourtney said punching him in the shoulder.

" Well it's nothing personal but... DAMN! Did you get even hotter?! " Zack said walking around her " Hmmm your ass is almost as good as mine… "

" What do you mean by " Almost"? " Kourtney asked glaring at him.

" Enough we have a plane to catch back to the U.S. So quite your chatter and let's get moving " Ty said as he and the rest of Alpha headed to the airfield.

( Canterlot with Raze )

Raze was looking over reports from all across Equestria. In just three days the Arrowhead troops had found every city on the content, some remained out of their control. But still things were going as planned. He stood and walked of the command post that the castle had been turned into and head for the helipad. He climbed aboard and told the pilot to bring him to Ponyville. When the helicopter touched down and he stepped out, he was greeted by two armored humans. They were Spartans fives. One wore Black Venator armor with a deep blue trim, the other wore white E.O.D armor with red trim. Raze turned to the one wearing Venator armor and spoke.

" Jack report. "

Jack snapped off a salute and motioned for Raze to follow.

" Everything is going according to plan sir, the walls around the town are coming along and guard towers are being put up at key points in the town. But I still think we should just kill off all the locals." Jack said looking at a group off ponies who had overheard everything.

Raze gave Jack a push for him to move on and spoke before they got out of ear shot of the group of ponies.

" That is not how Project Arrow head works. "

The Spartan in the E.O.D armor spoke up.

" But, sir. Why does Alpha Squad get to do it? "

Raze shook his head.

"Because Jill, Alpha Squad is filled with crazy psychopathic killers who just want to kill everything. "

" But I thought that was just Echo. " Jack said. Jill shuddered at the mention of Echo.

" Yes you are right, the other Alpha members don't share his mind, thank god, but he has a way of rubbing off on people. " Raze said, then turned to Jill. " Are you scared of Echo? "

She didn't say anything she just keep moving. Raze laughed.

" You're a Spartan five, you could crush him in a heartbeat." Raze said trying to make Jill feel better.

She stared at the ground and spoke.

" You say that but if it were true, then why is Alpha squad made up of people who haven't even turned 20. He may be young but he has fought stronger and come out alive, him and Grizzly both."

Jack put his arm on Jill's shoulder.

" Come on sis, the stories about him are not true. The only thing he is good at is messing with people's heads. He got to you without ever meeting you." Jack said.

They stopped in when Raze noticed a pony with a red flat mane and red coat helping another pony who looked injured. Jack and Jill stayed where they were and Raze went up to him.

" Are you a doctor? " he asked.

The pony looked up at him then back down to the one he was helping.

" I used to be, but since you humans came along I have had to become one again and help those I can. "

" And what's your name ? " Raze asked.

" Akainumo. " he said.

" Well, let me say thank you for helping these ponies. " Raze said.

" Don't lie to me. You don't care about them. " Akainumo said glaring at him.

Raze waved his arm and kept walking. " Why would I lie? "

" These bitches aren't even worth keeping alive." Jack stated. "That's why we should just finish them off. They don't want us here… Why should they be the ones to decide whether we leave or not?"

Raze snapped at Jack. " Why should we be the ones who decide whether they suffer anymore or not?! If it wasn't for Alpha then we wouldn't be helping them pick up the pieces."

Jack stared at Raze for a minute before looking at the blackened ground and craters from all the fire and explosions.

" Anything else you need us to do, sir?" Jill asked.

Raze kept looking at Jack then turned his head to Jill.

" Negative, Petty Officer… But keep me posted on what goes on. Make sure these ponies get proper treatment. Like I said, they don't deserve to suffer any more than they already had."

Both saluted each other.

" Aye, sir. I'll give you an update every few hours."

" Sounds good."

Raze looked back to see Jack was still staring at the ground. He patted Jack on the shoulder then got back on the helicopter and left.

(Alpha POV)

Alpha had successfully returned to the U.S. but only to get an awkward welcoming party.

The commander stood there with several other guards.

Echo nudged Grizzly in the shoulder.

"The fuck is going on?"

Grizzly kept staring at them.

"We're about to find out."

Alpha got off of the aircraft and saluted the commander.

He saluted back.

"Sorry about the security. I asked for a few guards and they give me a goddamn platoon… It's great to see all of you made it back in one piece."

"It was tough one but we pulled through it like we always…"

Grizzly was staring at a fleet of tarped objects.

"Uh… What are those?"

The commander looked at the medium and the large sized tarped objects.

"Oh, those are our new toys. Just got them from one of our friendly dimensions."

Echo pulled a tarp off one of the objects.

" HOLY SHIT!... It's a Scorpion Tank. " He said looking at it. He then turned a ran to one of the other tarps " And motherfucking Pelicans, Damn I love the UNSC."

" Alright Alpha squad, get back to the base and relax your next mission will start in a few weeks". The Commander said.

" What dimension are we going to this time? " Zack asked.

" You're not, you're going to help the UN with terrorist activity. "

" But I thought we didn't do that kinda stuff. " Kourtney said.

The Commander Smiled at her.

" Your Alpha Squad you do what I tell you to do no questions... Now back to the base. "

Sorry it took so long to update

Akainumo is timefather's
