I never really wanted anything major out of life: find a home where no-one's going to try to kill me, settle down, meet a nice girl, maybe get married and have a couple of kids (or foals, depending on which dimension you'd like). But it seems that Fate decided I was his bitch. Smeg you, Fate. Smeg. YOU.
So now I've not only got to try to push alien invaders out of Equestria, but I'm also trying to recover what little life I lost all that time ago.
Getting some time with Twilight would be nice, too.
My name is Haydon Arthur Baxter, but you can call me Hex.
This is my story.
The sequel to Equestrian Rhapsody (recommended that you read that one first) and second in The Foals of Harmony.
Chapters (20)
good story but who in the hay is Hex?
420483 Have you read Equestrian Rhapsody? If not, then you kinda have to.
420507no i have not i will make shure to
All my Half-Life 2 memories are coming back to me.....
421242 Did you read Equestrian Rhapsody?
423170 not yet.
I kind of feel like I've cheated by reading this first.
I'll give Equestrian rhapsody a read now, then.
423274 I'd recommend it, because if you'd read the description for this one you'd know that it's a sequel to something you have to read in order to know who Hex is.
BTW, thanks for being patient with the whole My Little Brony thing.
423311 Yeah, but it's quite a hefty read! But Hex is quite the strange character.
And thank you for being patient with 'The Fourth Wall'
I'm not going to update for a while because I'm writing a one-shot story.
It'll take a while and right now, is at the top on my list of priorities.
DAMN I'm late to the party, now I wouldn't have been the first to track, and that means no credits mention.
NOOOOOOOOOO
:O
Needs more pop culture references
just satin'
So Twilight got her horn back? How?
And there just like "Oh hello again" after 17 years? Doesn't Hex recognise anything from the game?
I just lost the game
yay for back story
also one thing that I just noticed: in the last story when he was listing all the things he didn't get "brony haters" was one. He shouldn't know about them...
just s'a'y'i'n'g'
still needs more pop culture references
Just so everypony knows, if there is no Half Life 3, or Half Life episode 3 by the time I reach that point, I will create my own story.
Or I may do that anyway.
So he's questioning reality
waht a...
I'm not gonna do this again
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Break in, level one. Code Blue."
So a blue spy is in the base this time?
434219
you're joking right? How long are you planning on writing this for? Where up to?
Don't know anything about HL2:ep1 or 2, in fact, I don't know what happens at the end of HL2?
HL-WHAT?
You want to right this for another 1..2..Umm whatever the next number is years?
434317 Tell you what, how's this: I do HL2 and part of Ep 1, but instead of the train crashing and Hex and Twilight having to fight their way to the station the train takes them to Canterlot and I take it as my own from there.
434227 What's so bad about questioning reality?
I have been waiting 5 fucking years for HL3 NOT gonna read a HL2 ponified version of it, makes me apprehensive it earns a thumbs up though.
506336 Good to know I'm not the only impatient one.
nice song, never heard it before, so I read along in the story while I listened to it
I just realised how fitting the song "Brave Sir Robin" is for this story
506651 If you watch the music video, it's kinda like a live action anime. And it is COOL. Like, 20% cooler than some other songs I was considering.
I still think you should have a minstrel singing brave sir robin as he's going off to fight, it just fits so well
506997 Brave sir Hex come forth from Melbourne?
507020 maybe Canterlot? I dunno...
On second thought let's not say Canterlot, it is a silly place.
Sorry for not commenting sooner, I had to catch up on school work (and I went to a brony meetup dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Pinkie_Pie_lolface.png )

Also, contrary to popular belief, that is in fact not how we do it in Melbourne. The act of putting the rocket into the rocket launcher is more of a slide-the-rocket-into-the-rocket-launcher-carefully motion rather than a slamming one
[youtube=rNlSv4SUYWo]
557736 Yeah well, these are rocket propelled grenades. If you'd played the game you'd know how they work. It's not like a bazooka.
560032 Still not how we do it in Melbourne a3.twimg.com/profile_images/1648940590/71458_-_rainbow_dash_sunglasses_normal.png images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb1333361904/common/avatars/thumb/e/ed/4862102.png/50px-4862102.png profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/373622_154086978016425_1333924088_q.jpg
I think there is something wrong with the first sentence
Also, THEY KILLED DIZTY. THOSE BASTARDS.
624709 There, all better. Also, in one of your earlier comments, you questioned Hex's dislike of brony haters. Hex himself is not a brony, and never actually was, but he did have a thing about prejudice and haters in general. Plus, it has already been well established that he is fully aware of the fourth wall and what is behind it. That help?
Also, random awesome Soarin' pic for future chapters:

Remind me never to write in the second person again: this thing was damn near impossible. And for those who are wondering why I called Applejack palomino, this picture should answer the question for me:

730843 EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW
wait a minute, no it doesn't
This chapter was... interesting
735065 Well, tell me what you don't understand and I'll get right on it, just as soon as I've finished this slideshow I have to do for Drama class.
735076 Never mind, I just Google searched what palomino meant.
Long chapter is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.
766257
I've seen bigger
766319 Yeah, but compared to all the others this is the longest.
...
OH GOD.
Sorry for the delay on this chapter: I'm afraid I came down with writer's block. Plus there was the start of the new school term...

1033563 Any conspiracy theories on the identity of the Blue Demon?
I wrote the Wednesday bit on a Wednesday. You can tell, can't you?
As of now, I am deviating from the story and gameplay of the Half Life series. I did consider not doing this until I had completed Episodes 1 and 2, but that would take far too long, and I think this will make a better story overall.
This is where it gets good.
Time to get reading
Best way to read this: Scroll slowly and read slowly (like any end credits) while playing the MW3 end credits theme.
Well
Now what?
