RESC:Fallout Equestria

by Apatima

Accidentally crashing into a second more destroyed planet of Equus the fraction of UESC (United Equus Space Command) forces including PonyBurg, a Prototype Battleship/Carrier ship, make it their mission to help the heroes of Equus and the people, will the rest of the Galaxy back them Up? What will happen when the Banished arrive, and how will the Empire react?

Welcome to RESC:Fallout Equestria, I own nothing but well, RESC Characters and some of it's stuff, enjoy

Above a dying planet a massive 2.4 kilometer long Battleship/Carrier hybrid designed like a UNSC Paris-class Heavy Frigates with two long hull booms extending around a kilometer in length, the ship was damaged with entire sections of the ship exposed to space, including the ship's Bridge. Along the hull was UESC PonyBurg

The ship lifelessly headed towards the covered lands, it entered the atmosphere and passed through some farms atop the clouds.

Within an Equestrian Sky Carriage a team of ponies and one zebra was flying away from Junction R-7 and headed towards Manehattan. This carriage was suddenly jerked as a loud piercing alarm and a thundering roar filled the air.

"Oh Goddess." The smallest of the team swore her eyes wide and fearful of the massive ship weakly flying towards Manehattan. "Follow that ship!"

"I was already planning on it!" A pegasus stallion retorted with a small scowl, "We won't catch it however, it's moving far too fast!"

"It's okay Calamity, just follow it!"

Everyone watched the ship close in to the city and watched it try and reactivate its engines with minimum success, it was headed for the city center about to crash into a Tenpony Tower, "Homage!" Pip shouted in alarm but she relaxed as she saw the thrusters on the ship suddenly activate allowing the ship to barely skim the top of the tower. Said thrusters flickered and died seconds after sparing the tower and dropping the ship enough it ripped through the top portion of a tower just behind Tenpony Tower. A Weak flickering shield activated around the ship flickering a brilliant gold, this shield absorbed the impact and allowed the ship to leave the encounter undamaged.

"Oh Merciful Celestia." Pip whined, "What do we do-"

The ship once again crashed into a building this time collapsing it under the impact, once again the ship was undamaged as the shield absorbed the impact and instead bounced off the collapsing building and headed directly for the sea near Friendship city.

There was a massive explosion of water as the ship landed and came to a pitiful rest, smoke drifting from the hull and sparks of electricity from severed cables.

"Land us there Calamity!" Pip pointed to a large section of exposed hangar, she could even read the words Hangar Bay 002 from this distance.

"Mhm."

Minutes later the Sky Bandit softly landed within the Hangar bay, everyone disembarked from the vehicle. Pip pulled out her scoped revolver Lil Macintosh, "Everyone ready?" She asked her team who nodded.

She walked over to the Hangar door, the door chirped weakly and opened. Pip pushed forward and checked her corners, "It's… nice even with the external damage. But it's dark." She activated her Pip-light and instantly cringed, on the ground was a heavily damaged Unicorn stallion, he wore a Orange suit with the words Security on his breastplate.

"Velvet-"

The White Mare nodded and ran over to her, she checked the stallion and exhaled, "He's alive, he just has some broken bones."

Pip looked around and spotted a switch, she thought about it for a second before nodding, she flicked the switch and instantly lights came on. The Hallway was filled with different bodies, many of which were alien to her, only a select few were ponies and many more were bipedal creatures like Hellhounds but without all the danger.

There was a cough as the Stallion Velvet was treated and awoke slowly, his eyes fluttered before he fully opened his eyes. "What… What happened?" He asked as he looked to all those around him, he obviously didn't recognize them, "Invaders, Pirates!" That word alone caused many to awaken.

"N-No you are wrong!" Pip Stated, "We came here to help, I am Little Pip-"

The Stallion pulled out a large pistol and pointed it at Pip, "Liar, We were just brought down by a Pirate Clan, you all must be trying to take us captive!" As he finished that sentence guns were pointed towards Pip and her group, weapons unfamiliar to all of them.

"Hold Fire!" Everyone froze from the sheer weight of those two words, they looked and spotted a Pegasus stallion with a long scruffy beard and a scar over a cybernetic eye, "Weapons down, all of you, these are not Pirates."

"C-Captain, you lived, with the Bridge destroyed we assumed you didn't survive."

He scoffed, "getting spaced was the least lethal thing done to me, I was merely knocked out, how do you think we entered Slipspace." He coughed briefly splattering blood on his hoof, "Still not 100%, they are not the enemy Private, we crashed onto an Unknown World, not a Pirate planet."

"I… I am sorry." He looked away from Pip and the group, his face pink and he rubbed the back of his head with a spare hoof. "Cap, is everyone okay?"

"We lost a good 12, 200 are severely damaged and maybe 600 with minor injuries. I am one of the 200, my right lung has collapsed but I had to get here to say hello to our newcomers, now if you don't mind, I think I will-" His eyes rolled up into his head and he collapsed onto the floor weakly breathing.

"Cap!" The crew screamed with wide eyes, "Alice get him to medical!"

One of the bipedal monkey-like creatures with fox ears nodded and quickly took the captain away.

"Staff Sergeant Retro, what should we do?"

Pip didn't recognize the creature that spoke up, he was like a reptilian covered in the same body armor as many of the others, and his feet were like hooves. His face had four jaws instead of just one and his hands were large and powerful.

"We must take the newcomers to the Acting CO, Commander Joshua, he will know what to do."

"Yes Sir!" The Security officer nodded and looked to the five, "Follow me, we don't have much time."

"Uh… Okay!" Pip nodded to her friends as they were guided towards somewhere. They arrived at the Internal Bridge of the ship and Pip was amazed by what she saw. What she saw was a heavily armored bipedal monkey creature wearing a armor set similar to Steel Ranger Armor but much leaner.

He smiled softly, "I am RESC Commander Joshua of the UESC PonyBurg, a Haravara-class Hybrid battleship and Carrier, a Prototype ship under the direct command of the United Equus Space Command. We were on a combined mission to defend the Equus colonies when our ship was ambushed by a large Pirate fleet, as you likely heard our people were nervous about seeing Pirates. How may we help you?"

Pip gulped, "I am Little Pip, these are my friends Calamity, Steelhooves, Velvet Remedy, and Xenith. We are here to help!"

The Commander sighed, "Unless one of you has medical training, I doubt you can do anything-"

Velvet coughed and pointed to the medical box attached to her flank, her eyebrow raised.

"I stand corrected, go meet Chief Medical Officer Oliver, he has um…. Cat ears atop his head. Take her to his Private Gumdrops." The Security officer nods and guides Velvet to the Medical section of the ship. "Now onto more important business, I need a map of this region."

Pip looks at her Pip-buck and nods, "Do you have a way for me to connect this?"

Joshua looks at it and raises an eyebrow, "First off, Magical Energy, that's just… ineffective." He sighed in annoyance, "Second off, this plug is like… what we in the Empire used at the very beginning of our space journey." He checked the plug for a second, "Okay, yeah, Alpha!"

"Yeah Boss?" A small pink shark bipedal person appears on the Digital table, "Oh, sorry, I am AI APA-276, or Alpha."

"Alpha, I want you to fabricate a way to commute with this plug."

"Done." A small device drops into Joshua's waiting hand.

Josh plugged the Pip-buck into the Terminal, seconds later a Map of Equestria appears in its blank detail, Josh scowls. "Well, that ruins my idea, however we get the basic lay of the lands. It will take my ship maybe… 2 days before she is flight capable again, 2-3 months for spaceflight, Thankfully I have my contingent of escort frigates and Corvettes to hopefully be able to escort PonyBurg until then." He looked to Pip and smiled, "I will give you permission to use around 12 archer missiles, and air support."

"Commander, they have these weapons called megaspells, they are like our nukes, only far more expensive to generate."

"Hm, oh, okay, well, I guess we could use a Airburst Nuclear missile, if it is absolutely necessary."

Pip's ears rose, but she quickly shook her head, "So, how can we help?"

"Unless you know of a place with a massive stockpile of Titanium, steel, and maybe gunpowder, we don't really need much."

Steelhooves shook his head, "We have no such locations in mind."

Josh groaned, "Great, we will have to send out the mining drones, we do have one need we do actually need."

"Yes?" Pip asked, her eyes wide with hope.

"Food, Medicine, and Water, while we can last for 2 months it would force us to rationing, which… is not ideal, considering we will likely begin military operations."

"What do you mean Commander?" Pip asked.

He sighed, "I see what's happening out there, people in poverty, being used and abused by stronger powers. I can see them, so many praying for a change, something to save them, something to bring peace." His eyes narrowed, his teeth grit and he snarled, "But we are here now, the empire follows only one rule, Protect the Weak or Fall into Darkness. We will always defend those weaker than us, no matter if they ask or not, we believe ourselves to be heroes, true Heroes, not just to our country, our kingdom, our Empire, but to each other and everyone we meet." Joshua grabbed his helmet and slipped it on, when he spoke next his voice was synthesized. "That is why we will help."

The next day Pip awoke in the Officer quarters offered to her by the Commander, said the officer was one of the few who was killed during the crash and she saw the picture of who. It was a Cute Unicorn pony with a pink coat, blue mane and tail, and red eyes. She was wearing her uniform and stood beside a small filly who was likely an aibling or an adopted child considering she looked no older than 23 years old.

Pip walked out of the Officer's quarters and made her way to the Internal Bridge, she was met by the crew who waved at her respectfully.

Once she arrived she was shocked to see Steelhoves there speaking with the Commander. "Steelhooves?" She asked.

"Little Pip, I was speaking with the Commander, he will be helping the Applejacks Rangers from now on."

"I also believe I will be sending ordering my 4 ships to depart, however I will be using Cerberus-class Prowler to send our RONI agents into the common life to Equestria, get an idea of what's happening and possibly gather sympathetic allies."

"Uh… so PonyBurg will remain in Central Equestria?"

"Mhm, in fact, I heard what is happening from Steelhoves, you have my support Pip. Should we Nuke this Goddess?"

"I…. Yes, Yes, I need that, Yes!" Ruby cheered, "B-but we have to do this perfectly, you should Nuke her location after I have my talk with her."

"I could use the Teleporter to extract you from her location seconds before impact, however, I would need a DNA sample and a Magic Signature."

"I will do it, but I have to get my memories extracted-"

"Ha, no kiddo, you don't, even if she somehow survived the Nuke, I would order a High Altitude MAC and Nuke Bombardment, her threat is near the level of the FLOOD in my opinion." There were multiple surprised gasps and horrified whines from the crew. Pip had no idea what he meant but from the crew's response and sudden agreement with the Commander, it must have been bad.

"I… Okay, but she can read minds-"

"Oh! I see why you wanted to extract your memories, that's easy to fix. Just ignore it, she can read minds, know what your about to do, what your about to say, however you have something she doesn't."

Pip leaned forward, Josh smirked.

"Massive 50 million tons of sheer killing firepower alien spaceship with enough firepower to flatten a mountain. And around 3k Marines and ODST."

"o-Oh I see," Pip nods, "We should be leaving now."

"Understood, while you all leave watch as the UESC PonyBurge releases her escorts, we have most of the thrusters active but she will only be flight worthy for 10 minutes, we can't overload the thrusters just yet."

"Kay!" Pip chirped as she headed towards the hangar she docked her Wagon at.

The Sky Bandit was modified, with Ultra-light Titanium plating and a energy shield for the Pegasus operator, the UESC did them a huge favor also by creating a Low-powered Nuclear reactor to power the wagon and the heating and cooling systems.

The Skybandit was now hovering smoothly away from the UESC PonyBurg, they were all watching as the ship screeched with alarms. Soon water cascaded off the frame as it lifted out of the water. To many it would be just a sight to behold but to those who met most of the crew, it was majestic, a bleeding and damaged ship saying 'Screw you I can take more'. Hatch doors on the bottom of the ship opened slowly, but once they opened four smaller ships dropped from the bigger ship and quickly moved out of the way. Still the PonyBurg screamed it's defiance and instead of landing back into the water it moved towards the land where it let down into the water beside the shore.

The smaller ships the PonyBurge Released were named UESC Hope's Arrival, UESC Back Breaker, UESC Shadowed Soul, and UESC Last Resort. The Hope's Arrival was a E9P Charon-class light Frigate, Back Breaker was a E9P Stalwart-class Light Frigate, Shadowed Soul was a E9P Cerberus-class prowler, and finally Last Resort was a E9P Paris-class Heavy Frigate. E9P Stands for Energy Shield, 9 Fabricator systems, and plasma weaponry, these became standard for all ex-UNSC Ships to require since most navies used energy or Plasma weapons with very few kinetic weapons.

Shadowed Soul quickly blinks out of view as the invisibility generator activates, leaving the three smaller ships alone. Hope's Arrival quickly heads towards Hoofington using the full power of their thrusters, Back Breaker rose its nose and flew towards the clouds along with an escort of fighter craft.

The Final Ship Last Resort remains stationary above the damaged giant of a ship, ready to engage in anything that dares try and attack its Sister.

Pip and crew watched as Marines and Crew ran out of the PonyBurge and started building an encampment around the ship, with some Condors exiting and establishing a firebase nearby.

"Woah." Pip commented, her eyes wide with amazement, "I… let's go back to Tenpony Tower."

Commander Lunar Hope was one of the few Naval officers who had the honor of having a ship named after her; she was the UESC Hero of the Pony-Pirate War, even if she was only 25 years old. Hope's Arrival was a Heavily Modified Charon-class Light Frigate even before it gained the E9P Upgrade, it's frame was honeycomb and the MAC was made for a Destroyer extending around 20 meters outside the hull, of a regular Charon-class Light Frigate, so the Hope's Arrival was 510 meters in length this allowed for more ammo capacity of the Frigate and the addition of a hydroponics lab for fresh food production.

At the moment her ship was headed towards Hoofington, ready to deploy some Hope for the people of Equestria. "Staff Sergeant, it's time to deploy the ODST!"

Staff Sergeant Lyric Vanity, a Unicorn Mare ODST, had a black coat with a white mane and tail with two baby blue eyes. She wore the Equine ODST Powered Assault Armor. Attached to her left side by double battles saddles was a UNSC ARC-290 or Railgun, and on her right was a m45 tactical shotgun. Lyric nodded wordlessly and made her way to the Pelican bay. There she found her Pony Squad, or PONY, Personnel Operators Never Yield. She nodded to them and signaled to them.

'

"Understood Sergeant, let's go boys." Her voice spoke up, he was a Pegasus Stallion, noteworthy because of his Heavy Weapons aptitude, he was Sergeant Doom Breaker.

Lyric boarded the Pelican and watched as the Pelican exited from Hope's Arrival, the brilliant gold colored letters shining in the dull light. She looked back into the Pelican and nodded to her ODST Team, she gave some hoof signs and they all nodded, they all understood hoof language.

She nodded back and looked outside, she made note of a small burning village in the distance she pointed at it and looked to her Voice.

"Pilot, drop us off at that Village."

"It's burning Sergeant."

"I see that, Boss wants us to check it."

"Understood, changing target. Life signs detected!" The Pilot warned as he slowly dropped towards the ground as he neared a landing position.

They slowed and stopped at a landing position, Lyric jumped from the Pelican and motioned for the majority to follow.

Six of her ODST stayed within the Pelican, which landed and deactivated its engines, said ODST pulled out a Stationary turret and set it up on the back of the Pelican.

Lyric guided her ODST with their weapons at the ready, her Railgun Carbine hummed ominously as she checked her IFF for any unknowns. She found six, she pointed her weapons in their direction and crouched, her eyes drifting to her Voice, he nodded.

"Identify yourselves!" He shouted, his voice echoing across the lands.

Lyric heard some alarmed voices but they were quickly cut out as a White Unicorn mare using crutches to walk entered their view. She looked horrible, Lyric noted, even her Sergeant thought so.

"Are you people okay?" He asked only seconds after he made his demand.

"I… What? Yeah, I'm fine, just.. I wasn't… I didn't want this to happen." Lyric heard her muttered, she motioned to her Voice.

"What happened?"

"Th-they were slavers, they kept their females enslaved so they could sell them to Red Eye and his Slave Legion, they had these bomb collars to keep compliance. I tried to distract the slavers while… P-21 here deactivated the bombs, he wasn't fast enough, the Owner activated the bombs killing himself and them."

Doom Breaker gasped as he looked at the grim Staff Sergeant. "Sergeant what should we-"

Lyric growled, this made Doom stiffen, She made a few rapid motions with her hooves, her eyes filled with rage.

"B-But Sergeant, we don't have the authority-"

She growled again, her eyes resolute.

"I… I understand Sergeant." Doom Fluttered his wings as he activated his radio, "PONY 1 to PONY Actual, CO demands all entities known as Red Eye be placed as Black-level Pirate threats."

The Radio crackled as the voice of Lunar Hope pierces the static, "PONY Actual to PONY 1, Recommendations sent to PonyBurg Actual, they accepted these recommendations, as of this moment all Red Eye Forces will be shot on sight unless surrendering."

Lyric nodded her eyes drifting to the crutches wearing mare, she signaled to her before scowling when she noted she did not recognize her motions, she looked to her Sergeant and redid the motions slightly differently.

"My CO is asking if you need medical care?"

"I… No… My bones are quite literally just jelly, I also only have maybe 1 year left to live, you know Cancer."

There was a brief silence before Lyric's Voice spoke, "Uh… we can fix Cancer, it is within our ability to actually fix Cancer, preventing it and stopping, as for your jelly legs and whatever else we can use use an EXO-ENDO Skeleton to support your weight until a more permanente manner is created from out medical staff, if that fails… well we do have Cybernetics."

Again the silence was all consuming, "Wait… you're serious?"

"Duh- oof!" The Sergeant gasped as Lyric slammed her head into his side, hard. "Geez, sorry Boss, I was just."

Lyric growled and glared into his eyes, she made motions with her hooves once again.

"I see, sorry. So, Boss said the medical station would also love to examine all of you and get that-" He pointed to the missing wing on the Pegasus Mare, "Fixed, flight will be difficult because they will have to completely replace your other wing from the socket."

The mare looked at her useless otherwing and nodded weakly, "I… I would like to fly again." Was all she said.

"Understood. Follow us, we will guide you to our ride."

They all arrived at the Pelican and while the new Ponies were amazed by the vehicle they all boarded the ship. Lyric was forced to stand alongside Doom who mounted the Turret and kept a lookout on their flank. Lyric looked to her Corporal, she once again motioned with her hooves.

"Boss is saying you guys should watch out for the Humans, Sangheili, Demi-humans, and other aliens Aboard the ship, afterall; we ponies are not from this… Equus, we are joined to the Rose Empire. They won't attack you as long as you treat them okay, none of them will be aggressive as this is Ponykind's Ship, we own it, it's ours. You are all safe aboard." The Corporal reassured.

"o-Okay." The White Unicorn nodded, Lyric slated her as the Leader of her friends, good.

The Pilot spoke up from the Cockpit, "Entering Hope's Arrival Hangar bay now." The ship shuddered briefly at the change in pressure and landed within the hangar bay.

Lyric jumped out of the pelican and walked over to the elevator, but the Elevator opened revealing Commander Lunar Hope, "Staff Sergeant you just left seconds ago, what happened?"

Lyric made some motions with her hoof Hope's eyes widened as she walked over to the Pelican. "Welcome to my ship, I heard from Lyric that you all need medical attention immediately, and from… what I see I agree." Hope shuddered, "You all… oh boy, you all stink, you all need a bath. Petty Officer!"

A Young Unggoy waddled over his Methane mask hiding his face from view, "Yeah Boss?" His high pitched squeaky voice chirps up.

"Get these ponies cleaned, dressed, and healed, we can't allow this. One is in need of immediate Cancer removal, the other needs a Cybernetic wing, Level 6 please?"

"Got it Boss!" The Unggoy looked at the ponies, "Oh right, new to Aliens, I am Petty Officer Third Class Hand's of Dawn, or just Dawn. I'm an Unggoy, a Methane breathing species of the Rose Empire."

"Cool!" Scotch Tape chirped up but quickly blushed as Dawn looked at her. "I.. Uh."

"It's fine, I'm used to it, oh and what do I see here?" Dawn looked to Glory and scowled at the mark covering her Cutie Mark, "Can you give me a description of your Cutie Mark?"

Glory recoiled slightly but nodded, "It was a Morning Sunrise."

"Good, we will have to fix that also, Ponies cannot be branded like that."

"Why are you doing this?" P-21 asked miffed.

"Because the Empire's main objective is to help everyone, it's what we do and enjoy."

UESC Back Breaker pierced through the clouds with their escorts of fighter craft. Inside the Ship Captain was a HM-class Human, a Heavy Mage, capable of using level 9 magic abilities, capable of using a Soul Magic. His name is Philip Myers, he is currently reading the radar scans of the area.

"So this Enclave is hiding the fact that Equestria is livable?" Phill scoffed, "Angel." His AI appeared, she was a Dove Demi-human, she looked to be 18 years old with white hair and blue eyes.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"I want you to go with RONI Pegasi Team Alpha 1, you will need to hack into the entire system of the Enclave, take their info, anything criminal expose it to the public, when that is finished expose that the surface is inhabited."

"Okay My dude." She nodded and flickered away.

UESC Back Breaker quickly vanished as the Fighter Craft established the Stealth field around the ship.

Within the UESC PonyBurg Commander Joshua was working with the Spartan Teams, "Purple Team, you have three main objectives, the defeat of the Slavers within Fillydelphia, the protection of slaves, and the survival of the marines."

Master Chief Petty Officer P-776 Claws, a Dragon/pony Hybrid, a Spartan of a UESC and leader of Fireteam Purple nodded. "Understood Commander." Claws looked to his second in command and Wife, Senior Chief Petty Officer Dawn Breaker, a Zony Spartan. "What do you think, Dawn?"

Dawn sighed, "It will be a difficult mission, but we can handle it, we just have to be slow and careful, we cannot rush."

"Understood, Ashes?"

Petty Officer Third Class Ashes, or Swords Ash, is an Ex-RESC Royal Guard. "I suggest we remain outside any escort crafts to support the Marines."

"Got it, Lost?"

The Ex-con turned Honorable Spartan nodded, "We ready boss?"

"Mhm, let's go board our Pelicans."

"Are we having Air support this time?"

Claws scoffed, he rubbed his armored claws over his helmeted face, "Yes Ashes, we have Air support now."

"Great! I won't have to act as Anti-Air."

"They only have Blimps."

There was silence for a brief moment before Ashes scowled, "Damn."

Inside the leading 5 Pelicans Purple team sprayed on their signature purple paint on top of their LOKI Powered Assault Exoskeleton.

Claw clenched his claws as he grabbed his Griffin modeled designed Marksman rifle, or DMR, on his side was a griffin clawed Revolver. "Ready!"

DawnBreaker equipped her Battle Saddle with her LMG and Shotgun, she nodded, "Ready." Sword Ashe's battle saddle contained two AA Flak Guns, and Lost used a Battle Rifle and Rocket launcher Battle Saddle.

Sword Ashe's used his magic to strap his Royal Defender, his personal sword, to his side alongside his twin Magnum pistols. Lost flapped his wings and nodded.

"We are nearing the LZ." The Co-pilot calls from the cockpit, "Be ready, we are coming in hot!" As he finished saying that he could feel the external hull being peppered by small arm's fire.

The four Spartans nod as the ship drops to the ground and releases its cargo. Acting Quickly the Spartans jump from the Pelican and land atop the Condor deployed Elephant. Claw spotted the Coyote, a M85 Light Combat Reconnaissance vehicle, That their Pelican deployed seconds ago already swarmed by Marines who entered quickly.

Claw looked at his wife and nodded. "Go ahead, Dawn!"

Dawn smiles behind her helmet and runs into the operator's cockpit, she quickly shuts the door and opens the rear door allowing for the spare Marines to enter the vehicle and use it for Protection.

"We have 20 Marines, 4 Spartans, 6 Vehicles, 2 Tanks, 2 Coyotes, 1, Armadillo, and one Elephant." Ashes noted with narrowed eyes. "Not to mention the brief amount of Condor Airsupport."

"So? What are we up against?"

"Well organized Slavers, unknown numbers, Threat level 10."

"I see, Dawn, push forward!"

The Elephant groaned as it began its slow acceleration towards the Slaver walls, the Scorpion Main Battle tank opened fire on the Slaver walls. While the gunner opened fire on anyone brave enough to poke their heads up. While the Coyote's 30mm chaingun pierced the armor and defenses of the Slavers killing those on the other side.

The Armadillo defended the Elephant's rear and ensured none would attempt to flank the slow moving machine.

Claw jumped atop the Elephant roof and was quickly peppered by slaver rounds but he persisted gathering his magical energy. And threw his hands forward, pure superheated plasma erupted from his palms, the plasma crackled as it burned through the Slaver's walls. Claw spread the plasma out, melting more of the walls allowing for the entire group of craft to enter with no issues. Once he was finished he absorbed the heat and magic from his plasma, instantly cooling the damages he just created, he jumped back within the protection of the Elephant.

"Ashes!"

On Command Ashes gathered his magic in his horn and released a wall of pure concentrated magical force, the result was the collapse of the entire damaged section of the slaver's walls. Ashes exhaled and hid back behind within the Elephant.

"Lost!"

The Pegasus gathered his magic in his wings and released blades of wind and focused storms; these storms distracted the slavers and killing many others.

"Full ahead!" Claw roared.

Seconds later the Supporting Condor Gunship opened fire with its 5 twin Plasma turrets while the Mini MAC charged. When the Mini MAC fired it tore through a Watchtower building and blasted it into pieces. The Elephant stopped once inside the Base and deployed itself, lowering to the ground and allowing for the marines inside to rush out and begin to attack the Slavers. Now facing a unified front of Ground troops, Tanks, Light Armored Vehicles, Elephant Defense Turrets, and a Condor the Salvers were quickly faltering. Their numbers and training was weak, they were not smart enough to understand teamwork or even assisting allies. They quickly collapsed under the trained power of the UESC Ground forces. The Spartans battled alongside the Marines, taking down any Flying units like Griffins.

Claw and Lost taking flight while Ashes performed AA Techniques against the Griffins. Claw grabbed an older female Griffin by the throat and slammed her into the ground as hard as he could, his stronger body easily able to tank the slashes she tried to perform with her claws. He checked her over and smirks, "Well, who do I have here? Hey Dawn, look at what I caught."

Dawn gallops over and smirks as she spots teh Griffin, "Red Eye's second in command, how nice~!"

"What should we do?" Ashes askes with a raised eyebrow, "RONI will want to interrogate her, and they Get what they want."

"Fuck you all, I will never talk-" Claw tapped her beak shut before knocking her out.

"Well, we have a VIP, won't that be nice?"

"MHm, let's get her back to the LZ, we took this place, the Marines will handle the rest and anyu resistance while the PonyBurg prepared for transport.

Commander Joshua's eyes widened as he received a sudden message, not from one of his ships but something far outside his control. "UESC We are here, to kill you and take this planet for ourselves!" The Rough voice of a Pirate Overlord, Atriox, leader of the Banished Pirate Tribe.

Joshua shivered in fear, now he was a Spartan yeah, but he heard the stories of Atriox, the strongest and Smartest Brute likely in the Galaxy. He knew that without the aid of Something they would not be able to win, "Well shit." Joshua admitted dumbly, "This is bad."

Then it dawned on him, the RESC, UNSC, UESC, FUM, SGN, and the SAN all search for the Banished bases and the RESC Infinity and UNSC Spirit of Fire all constantly fight the Banished, all he has to do now is endure and wait for the RESC Combined Navies to find this world and them. His face twisted into a smile. "I should be thanking you Atriox, you will be making my life so much easier."

High Above the Planet of Equus, A CAS-class Assault Carrier named Forgotten Might alongside a small deployment of escort corvettes drifted in high orbit. "It seems that the Ponies discovered this world before us." A Ultra Unggoy states with annoyance, "What should we do?" He/she asked Atriox who merely sighed.

"With the Empire hounding us, and this planet actually containing no Forerunner tech, along with being a Prime world, the Empire would throw everything at us to get it. I say we fight to keep it, maybe even recruit some Ponies to our side."

"Good idea sir!"

Stern awoke in a dark room firmly huffed to the table before her, her mind was hazy, and she couldn't think straight. She looked before her and scowled, there sitting in a chair was a Black suited Unicorn agent, "Well, Stern, we have everything we need from you."

"W-What do you mean?" She asked nervously.

"We extracted all of your memories and in only 30 minutes you will become nothing but a Pawn to the Queen." The Agent showed a syringe filled with a gray liquid, "You will be nothing more than a Slave to us, enjoy your new life." The Agent chuckled before leaving.

Stern was left in the cold quiet room, she quickly realized what he said was true as images of something she never knew entered her mind alongside a powerful sense of devotion.

"I… I will resist!"

The UESC PonyBurg was slowly making its way towards Fillydelphia, finally repaired enough to fly in atmo, the energy shields of the PonyBurg were ready for anything while Last Resort escorted the PonyBurg from above.

Before long the massive Hybrid ship landed within Fillydelphia, the newly set up Drydock easily compensated for the massive ship's structure. Seconds after it docked the Marines, Army, and Security personnel all exited from the ship and quickly secured the location.

In under a day Fillydelphia became the Hub for UESC Control, securing the nearby lands by force if needed, newly built and installed Artillery cannon defended the old Slaver Base.

Said base was demolished allowing for a UESC Firebase to be installed, the Fabrication buildings generating usable material from the scrap and junk gathered by drones. Nuclear Reactors built to power the walls, Turrets, and lights across the entire Base.

An airfield was established allowing for aircraft to land and be stored, Barracks and factories were installed across the area. However the most important thing created was the four High Capacity Energy shields that defended the base from Orbital attacks. Meanwhile the PonyBurge Crew were busy rebuilding the Base.

Civilians were allowed into the base, into Non-dangerous areas like the recreation, and cooks.

Blackjack slowly opened her eyes, she groaned as she felt a small amount of pain in her entire body, but it was nothing like Rad Poisoning, nearly dying from chlorine gas, and the numerous times she almost died. She looked over and noted the Pegasus stallion holding a medical clipboard, his cutie Mark was a Cartoonish heart.

"Well, Miss Blackjack, I am your Doctor Heart Stitch. I am here to tell you the procedure's success," Blackjack nodded so the Doctor spoke, "your body accepted the surgery easily, your bones were replaced with a bio-ceramic. Hell you accepted the SPARTAN Augmentiuon so easily we just said fuck it, and made you a full blood Spartan. Now usually we don't do these things, but… Commander gave us the okay, and we did what she wanted."

"What is a SPARTAN?" Blackjack asked, her voice hoarse.

"Oh, think of them like Demi-gods, you can move faster, take more damage, are way stronger, have good night vision, and almost instant reactions."

"Okay, but why?"

"Well, we had to change the plans we had slightly, your bones… they were jelly as you put it, so Exo-Endo Skeleton was added but we noted that this augmentation didn't work completely. So we had to come in from a different approach alongside the Exo-Endo Skeleton, we had to do things that are better to see for yourself." He pulled the blanket covering Blackjack off exposing the Hospital gown covered body, however what Blackjack saw made her jaw drop, she saw the bright green light inside her chest where her heart was, along with her lungs.

"You were wrong about how long you had left to live, you most likely would've only lasted a week more, You had Stage 5 Cancer, all of your internal organs were covered in Tumors, we could not save most of your internal organs, thankfully your Womb, Uterus, and bladder were unaffected. Other than that, well, say goodbye to mortality. You are literally Immortal now, your heart is fully mechanical alongside your lungs, same with your stomach, intestines, and liver. Now we do have the Tech for Cloning organs, however whenever we tried to do so for you… the machine exploded. Something about your genetics and cells made it impossible to clone. Do you have any idea why?"

"I.. Uh… No-" Blackjack's eyes widened, "I… I was exp;osed to Magical Radiation, it caused my body to mutate, it's why my eyes glow… Wait?!"

"Yeah sorry, because of the Spartan Augmentations your eyes now are like flash-lights, you can activate and deactivate them now, that's cool, right?" The Doctor weakly smiles, "Okay, so, your now a Cyber SPARTAN Pony." he pulled back the gown to show Blackjack her legs, they were a dull white covered in scrap parts of Spartan armor, her legs were also covered in the base layer for Mjolnir assault armor. "So, the good thing is that you can now hold over 20 times your own body weight with ease, and with the Spinal augmentations we were forced to do because of the cancer and arguments, you can now have energy shields."

"I… what?!" Blackjack was being overwhelmed.

"Oh… sorry, but that is all, nothing else requires you to know, Oh, you should come see Miss Glory."

Blackjack rolled out of bed and stumbled slightly, it felt so much more effortless to walk than it should, "i… this feels amazing!" Blackjack's eyes widened, "I… I feel amazing!" She looked at her hooves, "but.. Am I even Blackjack anymore?"

"Pfft, yeah, trust me, your not the only or first person to have these feelings, if you would like, I could schedule you into the Therapist nextdoor."

"I… I need to stop the war I started first."

"Hm, war?" The Doctor blinked in surprise but didn't receive an answer.

Blackjack arrived at Glory's room and pushed the door open, what she saw took her breath away. Morning Glory had two perfectly good wings now, both were obviously Biomechanical but still they looked natural on her. "Woah."

Glory looked up and smiled, her face filled with an emotion she lacked since she lost her wings, Hope, Happiness, and joy. "Blackjack look, I have wings again!"

"Amazing." Blackjack cooed in Glory's ear as she hugged her. "You look amazing even with those wings, in fact I believe they make you look better."

There was a cough at the door.

Both looked to spot Commander Lunar Hope, her dull gray mane fell down her face she smiled coyly, "Well, you two look better." She quickly straightened, "Corporal Blackjack, with the power invested in me by the God Queen Ruby Rose, I grant you the Title and Rank of Non-Standard Officer Corporal Blackjack. As a result of your new status with the UESC, you are hereby given level 7 status aboard the Hope's Arrival and all locations in my command, meaning you can at anytime request our support, within reason."

"B-But why? I haven't done anything for you!" Blackjack shouted, her eyes wide. "I.. I didn't earn it…"

Lunar Hope smirked, she pulled out her Datapad and started playing DJPon3's Radio broadcast about Blackjack, or Security. "You did good, that's all the UESC or RESC cares about, we believe in heroes, we believe that any person can do amazing good if they just try and you… You prove that mindset right, just like Little Pip, or The Stable Dweller." Blackjack and Glory were shocked as Hope started to smile with a small amount of tears leaking from her eyes, "I believe in you kid, this world, I can see why people just give up and surrender to it. Not you though, you fight against the entire world, you fight to help others. And that is something to fight for!" Hope's voice filled with an unbreakable conviction, throughout the ship Team Blackjack heard the encouraged shouts of the crew of Hope's Arrival, and the ship lived up to it's name that very day.

Because a new Hope arrived in Equestria. The Hope of a Bright sunny day with no violence, bloodshed, or hatred soaking the souls of those on it.

Blackjack stiffened her eyes, now tearing up from the words of the Commander, "How can I help?"

Lunar Hope smirked, "Tell me what you need."

Captain Ironhide, Captain of the UESC PonyBurg, slowly opened his eyes, "Cap!" Oliver's voice entered Ironhide's ears, he looked over and spotted Oliver. "Well, it seems the ship and crew are okay?"

"Yes Sir! The PonyBurg is now drydocked at a recently acquired ex-Pirate base, and she is flight worthy again!"

Ironhide nods and points to the Hover Chair offered to him, "I need to get debriefed."

"Understood cap."

High General Jaune Arc sat at his desk as he sighed, he was currently reading through the Reports of the Banished and other Pirates.

"General!" Jaune looked over to his apprentice and raised an eyebrow, "UESC Just Reported that their Light Carrier/Battleship Hybrid PonyBurg is missing with all hands, it's escorts were discovered along the path it was scouting, all of which were severely damaged with 3 entirely destroyed, 4 crucially damage, and 1 fully functional. They reported that they were attacked by Banished Forces in this region and the PonyBurg did an emergency jump while heavily damaged, likely crash landing on a planet."

Jaune looked at it and sighed, "Okay, so I will send the RESC Infinity, she should be able to halt the Banished."

"General, just listen."

Jaune frowned but signaled for him to play. "This is Commander Joshua of the UESC PonyBurg, we discovered a Habitable planet with a Support need of 7, a planet covered in destruction from a war 200 years ago, the citizens are in need of heavy assistance. The PonyBurg will remain with the planet until reinforcements arrive, this is Commander Joshua signing out."

Jaune instantly stood, his face set in stone, "I need to go see Ruby."

"Yes my General."

The Queen of the empire was currently sleeping on a beach towel beside the beach, she was wearing a light bikini. She was suddenly awakened by someone shaking her, "Huh?" She grumbled as she looked over to the cause, "Jaune, can this wait, I was napping after an entire day of…" Her eyes saw his expression, it was dire. Instantly she became full alert as her Magic coursed through her body. "What happened?" Her voice, commanding.

"A new planet discovered by the UESC, it's not good though, the planet is inhabited and now under the threat of the Banished."

That last word caused Ruby's expression to shift instantly, "Ah shit, Coordinates?"

"That's the issue, we don't know, the RESC Infinity will be deploy-"

"No, not this time, it's time we show the Banished we mean business now, we lost last time, an entire planet glassed because of lack of focus, this planet is inhabited we won't allow it to be glassed."

Jaune's eyes widened with the memory, "I understand what we do?"

"The Unlimited is prepared for this, I want the UNSC Spirit of Fire, RESC Infinity, SAN Convicted Justice, and FUM Break unto Sky to all search for the location of this planet, we have an idea where, that's all we need. Once discovered all ships are to converge onto the location and assist the citizens and PonyBurg while dealing with the Banished Forces. Once Location is transmitted the entire Unlimited and her Defense Fleet are to Deploy in high orbit above this new Planet until we can finish construction on their City Ship."

"I… I understand." Jaune was stunned, this amount of deployment has never been done before, for a Capital-grade City Ship, much less the Unlimited, to deploy to a different system would cause a massive shift in the daily activities of all in the empire.

"I also want the Forerunner Builders to return to the ARK and manufacture a System Shield Ring for this new planet and occupants."

"Yes Ma'am."

Ruby sighs, but she looks away, "We can save them this time Jaune, I know we can, no more holding back, okay?"

"Y-Yeah Ruby, just be careful, we only have so much power before we get stretched thin."

"I know, I know."

Captain James Cutter of the UNSC Spirit of fire and Lead official of the ANTI-Banished Fleet, looked at the reports from High Command and nodded, "Okay, so it seems that we have a new mission, to find this planet within Banished territory."

"Yes Sir" AI Mina nods with the Captain, "We ready?"

"Mhm, begin Jump."

"Yes Captain, Jumping to Random System in… 3…2…1!" The UNSC Spirit of Fire and Escort all vanished through their slipspace portals."
