Voltron! Spartan Defendors! Chapter One!

(Well Spartans are known to be legendary (=P) I hope you like the name it, I am not changing the name. As with tradition I will be supplying readers with an extended chapter to get a basic taste of the story.

Storyline wise no Halo 4 or 5.

I own nothing except copies of some of the books and most of the games, and the idea that Spartans.

:STORY START:

Unknown (to humans) Sector of Space-five years since the events of the Ark-Rear half of the Forward Unto Dawn-Cryo-Chamber seven.

Five year.

Five years since he saved her.

Five years since they defeated the Covenant and stopped their Great Journey.

For him it was only a couple hours ago, but for her it might as well been five millennia, especially for an Artificial Intelligence such as her.

Her name is Cortana, and she is a Smart AI with the ability to hack and understand advanced alien computer systems, and use the systems in ways that would ensure her carrier's success in their mission. She turns Seven this day, which is the time that Smart AI starts to degrade and literally think themselves to death. She has done everything she could to protect her human, or should she say, 'Spartan'

Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, one of the last original Spartan IIs. Taken at a young age and conscripted into the military, to received training and dangerous physical augmentations to make them faster, stronger and smarter, that the success rate of fifty percent. In the long run, the Spartan II program was a complete success, but later generations of Spartans would be made of smaller groups but after two groups, any future groups were cancelled due to the dangers of travel during the Human/Covenant war between worlds and the price to properly equip them would cost up to ten battleships, with the thirty or so suits of Mjolnir armour. A personal armour that so advanced that can amplify a Spartan's enhanced body, doubling their natural strength and speed.

Cortana revealed herself on a pedestal, revealing the a naked blue female form of Cortana, her visual form hugging her knees as she stares at the only active Cryotube. Cortana then spoke, "It has been a week since the last external camera broke, John, but the beacon is still going strong," she flashed red before calming down, "I don't have alot of time left." It was at that point where what was left of the Forward Unto Dawn. Cortana appeared to look around the room before activating the defrost function of the Cryotube. "Looks like I will need you."

Zoom out to outside the ship.

For the half a broken ship, they had been drifting towards a shattered purple planet that had space station that was large enough to hold with a large dome. What happened next was a Large hook shaped purple ship, slipped into reality causing the Forward Unto Dawn to shake.

The bridge of the New Ship.

A purple furred humanoid alien with cat shaped ears yellow eyes, with black and red bodysuit armour. Around the only living life-form was surrounded by silver and purple robots that had that were shaped like the furred man.

The furred captain spoke, "What is that?"

One of the robots spoke, "it appears to be a derelict craft, ageing of the craft's hull appears to indicate that it has been adrift for an extended period." That same robot scanned the ships internals and says, "The craft appears to hold the supplies and has an undamaged Demension Drive."

The captain says, "Attach tow hooks, we will bring it to the station and salvage the derelict for Galra Empire," all the robots run a system routine that had them cheer with the captain.

Forward Unto Dawn-thirty minutes later.

The Cryotube holding the Master Chief had a red light flash on the side before Master Chief finished defrosting and He shook his head before speaking, "Cortana, what is the situation?" as he tried to look outside the pod and saw her glow on the other side of the frosted glass.

He tried to wipe the frost away only for him to see a second layer on the other side of glass. Cortana speaks into his helmet, "I don't know where we are, but it appears that someone found us, but no one has entered the ship, looks like we are being towed." Cortana activated the room's life support and Gravity plates were activated dropping a floating pistol.

Master Chief activated the manual release of the pod and once the pod opened he went to the podium and says, "How long has it been?"

Cortana answers, "five years," Cortana flashed red before returning to her blue colour and says, "I can't see out of what is left of this junk pile. Yank me."

With that Cortana flashed before taking a silver chip with a blue crystal in the centre before inserting the chip into the back of his helmet, before he says, "So what is the plan?"

"Find out who has us," Cortana answered as the Chief took the pistol on the ground and his Assault rifle, "The observation deck is two decks up, through the armoury."

Chief speaks, "Confirmed," before heading towards the armoury to find Battle Rifles, and standard ODST SMGs and Pistols. With he then noticed a large space capable dufflebag. He loaded three battle riffles and five pistols and five SMGs, along with enough ammo for each of the different weapons. The Chief attached the bag to his back and collected another pistol on his other hip, and a battle rifle on his back. He then found ammo for his assault rifle with a waist pack that he filled with shredder ammo. The Chief walked to the elevator and was about to open the shaft before he stopped himself, "Cortana, turn off the Atmosphere and Grav-plates."

Cortana was silent before realise what he wanted, "Should I keep them off?"

"Once we find out what is going on," The Chief spoke while he waited until he spotted the some of the items started to float in an upward vector. The Chief then opened the shaft before jumping up and activating his magnetic coils on the soles of his feet, and walked up to the observation deck. Once he reached the entrance of the observation deck he opened the doors to find the shutters shut, he allows for the elevator doors close before heading to the main window controls while the light fluttered before shutting down. The metal shutters opened to reveal tow cables attached to the top of the hull, connected to a ship that was similar to a Covenant Battle Cruiser only with wings instead of a large oval shape, and what appeared to be a large Mass Driver (Railgun) attached to the top of the hull.

"Okay, Not Covenant or Human for that matter," Cortana spoke before using Chief's helmat cam to see the craft, even getting a visual scan of the craft. Cortana looked to the craft and noticed that the large craft was surrounded by angular starfish shaped fighters. What was left of the 'Forward Unto Dawn' as then turned as the derelict was pulled, causing the hunk of metal to turn and reveal a space station over the top of what appears to be a molten planet covered in purple clouds. The space station appeared to be a fusion of Covenant, the new type of space ship and a myriad of other alien cultures but it appeared to be mainly the same type as the ship towing them. Though he noticed the large dome attached to large Shipyards. Cortana then spoke, "Head to the top Airlock, we can access the station in vacuum, though I did make a surprise for you in the lower vehicle bay," the sound of her voice spoke with amusement. "But we can leave it for when we need to make a quick getaway."

With that the Chief went to the elevator shaft and drifted towards the top of the ship. As the unknown cruiser pulls the derelict towards the station. The Chief exited out of the rear half of the 'Forward Unto Dawn' to reveal a large tether and a three pron claw holding the ship, dangerously close to the top Missile pods.

"Chief," Cortana spoke, "Since you started your nap, I made some modifications to your armour. I rebuilt your jump thrusters from the original design. The armour was amplified to the reduce physical projectiles and has extra shield emitters in the event of overload, meaning you can take more damage before the system runs out of charge, and Finally I have added hologram technology and you can hack into systems with just a touch of your hand," with that the Chief simply nods, before Cortana adds as the derelict reaches the station, "Find an Airlock, and let's hope we can understand the life forms inside." (He looks like he does in Halo 4.)

The Chief jumps high in the zero gravity environment and once he reaches a height where he could avoid being seen, he activated the thrusters pack and landed on the outer hull of the space station, behind what appeared to be shipping crates. He looked around until he spots a force field that had what appeared to be small bearlike creatures pushing large crates and being whipped by humanoid aliens in silver 'armour' and holding what appeared to be power energy weapons in hand while one is seen slapping the small 'creature' to the ground. The Chief walked to the concealed edge the hanger and was able to enter the shield when no one saw him. He continued to hide himself before he hears the 'slaves' talking, using what appeared to be 'English.'

"What kind of species would build something like that piece of Shisno?" one slave spoke to another before its friend spoke, "Shish, you know that the guards are ordered to silence us when a Galra Battle Cruiser is in dock." The two silenced themselves as a group of Galra Guards walk past and through the barrier to search the derelict Heavy Frigate.

The Chief sneaked behind the pair of slaves before covering their mouths and pulling them behind the crates he was hiding behind and says, "Tell me what I want to know and I will let you go."

The two slaves nod before the Chief releases his hold on the two allowing them to speak. The first slave spoke, "Wait, are you human?" the Chief raised an eyebrow under his helmet but nods, "Then you must be here to free the champions."

"Chanpions?" The Chief questioned.

"Yes the two Champions, they are two of the strongest fighters in the arena," the second slave spoke, "The 'Wreaker' appeared one day when another unidentified space dimension jumped into the system. While the 'Reaper' was brought in with a Galra scouting team, so far the Galra have had them fight other Galra, beasts and Machines to kill them. But every time one of us slaves are ordered to fight them, they ensure that we survive," the slave then reveals its lower back to reveal a severed tail stub, "No lasting damage but, a recent fight left the Reaper stuck in the science lab."

"Where?" the Chief questioned.

The second slave pointed to the end of the hall, "Through that day, first left then twentieth right. Up three floors and left till you reach the end of the hall. Once you get Reaper he can lead you to the Gladiator kennel."

The first slave then says, "When you save those two head to the vault hanger, the Grand Captain found something on the surface. It's in the main spire overlooking the gladiator pit."

"You are being overly helpful," the Chief spoke, repeating what Cortana said.

"What do you expect," the first Slave spoke, "I have been a slave ever since these Galra woke up, two centuries ago. Any chance to screw them over the better."

The second slave then spoke, "The guards are coming back, we need to get back to work," the Chief nods letting them return to move their crates.

The Chief followed the directions he was given, discovering that all the guards had a repeating pattern of patrol, like they were, "Robots," Cortana finished his thought for him and adds, "great, so the majority of the life signs we have detected probably been slaves, and a majority of them are in the dome." They reached the top of the stairs.

"How many humans?" The Chief questioned.

"Well, touch that interface panel," Cortana instructed, the Chief placed his hand on the terminal that opened a door to a janitors closest. As he looked in the small space, Cortana speaks, "Well, they were telling the truth, but there appears to be over a hundred different alien species. The majority of them are in the Dome. Though from the cameras all over the station, which appears to be drones, focused in the laboratories and prison block." She stopped for a moment and says, "Chief we need to get to those humans quick. Reaper is apparently scheduled to be executed. And the Wreaker is going to be fighting against a heavily armoured and weaponised, something." With that, the Chief went straight down the hall pasted purple and silver diamonds shaped drones that 'eyes' were flashing blue. The Chief walked through the hall way before Cortana spoke again, "this door," speaking of the next door the Chief reached, "Chief, just a heads up, you in for a shock."

The Chief opened the door to find all the robots slashed up and a purple furred cat man holding a sword and helping a human, Cortana never expected to see since Reach. The Chief aimed his assault rifle at the Galra while Cortana speaks as the human's eyes widened at the Spartan, "Noble Six," Noble Six is a brunette with blue eyes and a superheated cut in his face and a robotic arm similar to the robots arms as well as his left leg was also replaced. (Wearing a black bodysuit with rags covering his upper torso.)

Noble Six spoke, "Sir," and struggles to salute the Master Chief.

The Galra then spoke, "This was unexpected, how did you reach this station, without getting detected?" the Chief kept his aim on him. The Galra speaks, "Listen, not all Galra work for Zarkon," the Chief didn't even flinch but he was confused. Noble Six managed to stand by himself while the Galra spoke as his sword turned into a dagger, "Listen, I am part of a resistance that has spanned since before Galra were frozen, they are looking for an ancient weapon. That would make the Halo array look like toy." That got the Chief's attention.

"What kind of weapon?" The Chief finally spoke.

"Voltron, and a piece of it was found on the surface of the planet below," the Galra spoke, "and us of the Blade's of Balmora' has done all we can to ensure that Emperor Zarkon and his Witch Haggard," Cortana makes a comment about the witch, the Galra speaks again, "If we don't stop them stop them, the universe will be destroyed."

Noble Six shook his head and says, "He is telling the truth, Zarkon made an appearance a while back. Jorge and Myself fought the guy, and let's just say, that I would still have a leg."

Chief lowered his weapon and says, "Let me guess, the Vault under the pillar of the Dome?"

"Yes," the Galra answered.

Master Chief nodded before he gave Noble Six his Assault Rifle and asks, "So the only humans on the station?"

"Are Spartan," Noble Six answered before asking, "How are we getting out of here when we complete our objective?"

Cortana answered through Chief's helmet, "Well, there is Chief's surprise," with that she sent a signal to the Forward Unto Dawn's vehicle bay.

Master Chief then spoke, "Six, which way to the prison block?"

Six nods and directs the Chief out the room first. Six looked behind him to the Galra that was helping him, but instead finds the room empty. He shook his head before following after the Chief. They walked till they found a service elevator. Six spoke, "Take this down to the bottom to reach the cells, than we go through there to get to that vault."

Cortana then asks, "Why is there a way to access the vault from the Prison block?"

Six answered as the lift arrived, "the Vault is the only place where they can bring the native predators of the planet below. Tough bastards, but simple to kill and their shells make amazing armour." Six reached the larger cells with the more slaves and speaks, "Jorge, were getting out of here?" Six opened the door and avoided the mace and says, "Jorge, come on we have to go." From out of the shadows came a man beaten and bruised pulling a chain attached to the large mace to his wrist.

"Six," Jorge spoke with a rough voice before spotting the Master Chief, "John?" (Looks simular to his reach appearance, but older, longer hair and beard. No Mjolnir armour and a prison style spiked ball and chain attached to his wrist.)

"Come on Spartan we have a mission to complete," The Chief says, before the elevator they used to enter the Prison Block lowered with a robot with a blue visor, pushed a crate.

One of the prisoners in another cell shouts, "Food!" only for the robot to smash the lock and give them Galra blasters, and continue on to the next cell.

Cortana speaks, "I managed to hack into the droids' computer system, every time one goes to charge they will be hampered in their targeting systems, but I could only hack into one of the droids to deliver the weapons to the prisoners. Get to the vault your surprise is waiting at the external airlock."

Chief waited for the droid to pass them and collected one of the Galra weapons and examine the weapon before attaching the weapon to his back and handed a Battle Rifle to Jorge as he wrapped the chained mace around his lower right arm, above the shackle attached to his wrist.

Jorge took the Battle Rifle before asking "what is the plan?"

"Apparently all of the sentient life forms we have talked to, have said, that whatever is in that vault is important," the Chief answered.

"So we find out what that is," Jorge replied and received a nod from the Chief as they walked past slaves as they head to attack the oppressors.

Cortana then asks, "So how did the two of you end up on this station?"

Jorge answered first, "When I detonated the Savannah's slip-space core, me, the ship I was on and a large portion of the carrier dropped out of Slip space here. They found me and took my armour before dumping me in the Gladiator pit. A couple months later they found the path I used to get her and found Six."

Six was silent before saying, "I had returned to the Spartan rally point, found everyone dead. Was ambushed by a few dozen Covenant Troops who left me for dead when my injuries forced me unconscious. I woke up a couple days later to see the Covenant fleet over Reach get pulled into a giant Slip space portal. A spent the next couple days walking and found no one before," Six was silent and says, "The Galra found me and said I belong to them and I lost my temper," remembering the thirty robots he dismantled with a knife and a busted arm and leg.

Chief nods in understanding. For a Spartan losing your temper meant, 'you were injured, hungry, thirsty and not taking no for an answer.' This had led several Spartans in the past to achieve many of their legendary feats. Like single handily destroying a small fleet of Covenant Ships, when the Spartan should have been dead before the attempt. Chief looked over his shoulder at Jorge and smiles under his helmet for his fellow original Spartan II, but saved it for later. They went to the door at the opposite end of the prison to find a large Vault Door. Jorge spoke, "The guards would have us come through here to get to the stadium," the Vault is to the left just inside."

With that said the Chief places his hand on the panel and the door opens to reveal an empty hall. Six then spoke, "Look we don't know what will be in there so."

"Right," the Chief says before he opens the Main vault door where they see a giant red metal lion inside a red energy shield in a geometric pattern around the machine. Near the entrance they used was two lines of metal domes leading between the lion and the entrance.

Six then hears growling and asks, "Do you hear that?" before looking towards the way they came in.

Jorge and the Chief aim towards other sections of the room while Jorge asks, "What did you hear?"

It took Six a second before turning to the Red Lion, "I heard a roar, from a lion." It was that point when the Vault doors at the opposite end of the large Vault opened allowing an army of Galra robots charging into the Vault from the opposite end.

The three Spartans take cover behind the metal domes while taking pot shots at the Galra robots before another Galra arrived in black armour and darker ears compared to the Galra who was aiding Six earlier. This is Commander Vox, the commanding officer of the Station and one of five Galra stationed on the station. Vox then shouts, "So what you had been saying for years, has really happened. Another human came to rescue you. But instead he will be your replacement." With that Six aimed and took a single shot from his Assault Rifle that blew a hole through Vox's shoulder. It was that point that he screamed while in pain, "Kill them all!" before running back into the station.

The droids continued to fire towards the Spartans, nicking the Chief's shields lowering them down by a quarter. The Master Chief took cover behind one of the domes and touches the hull, where Cortana scanned, "Chief, those creatures I mentioned earlier are in these dome cells." She then finds what she was expecting and says, "Hack in, Open the dome, it should give us a good distraction."

The Chief did just that revealing a large four legged spider made of lava and meteor rocks. The creature roared, spots the Galra and charges them. It was then that the Chief spotted the large metal visor, attached where eyes would normally be, from the perspective of a human.

The was about to ask a question when Jorge answered, "The Galra just call them beasts, we have been calling the Flame Spiders," what happened next was the spider creatures attacking the Galra Droids, by melting their armour and then consuming the molten ores in the metal shells.

The Chief looked between the spider and the lion before shouting to Six, "Get to the lion, Jorge cover him. Cortana, where is that surprise?" the Chief stood next to a computer panel and activated the system, where the hanger door on the floor opened with a shield keeping the atmosphere in. What happen next amazed the Chief as a flying warthog entered the room. The Warthog has its main wheels horizontal with light exiting the humpcaps, two thrusters on the back and closable doors that could open and retract when occupant takes a seat, in either the driver's seat or the passenger side. Instead of the standard turret, there is an enclosed hull with an automated turret that combined a railgun, chaingin and missile pod in a smaller capacity.

Cortana was the first to speak, "Chief, may I present the Spartan Varient Warthog, the first true all terrain ground vehicle, that can fly itself down to a planet." As she says this the turret of the SVW, took aim at the droids and fired a metal slug through the barrier and through three droids at once.

The look on Jorge's face was of childish amusement at the sight of the new toy. Six just ignored the warthog and focused on the red lion before trying to get into the shield. Only to be repelled before saying, "How do I get in?" then all of the doors to the vault, and the room started to fill with Galra droid. Six looked to the Chief and Jorge and the panel near him, next to the airlock. Six slammed his hand to the panel causing the shield of the air lock to collapse. Jorge was safe due to the SVW being between him and the airlock. The Chief activated his magnetic boots and continued to blast the droids as they were pulled out of the station and fell towards the planet below. Six grabbed hold of the panel tried to stay within the station, but struggled as the air was thinning at an accelerated rate. He never lost his grip on the terminal, but the bolts holding the terminal down snapped and pulled Six towards open space.

What happened next happened so fast that only a Spartan could keep up. The Red Lion's Shield vanished and flew to Six, and swallowed him. Which was how Six was given access to Red's cockpit. (Not going to describe the cockpits of the lions, unless it is a major change to the original design.)

The Red Lion flew through space and blasts the war ships that went to intercept. Resulting in red roaring a heat beam at the ship melting a large hole through the ship before it exploded, with the Red Lion flying past. Six in the pilot seat looked at the controls trying to find communication system, only for a communication system was activated to his left. Cortana was the first to speak, "Six, please be alive because we are about to be overrun."

"This is Noble Six," Six responded, "This thing is amazing, it's like being back in my armour, it feels natural," Six piloted the Lion to the same hanger that they escaped from and roared fire at a series of droids as he landed on the deck. SVW drove under the lion with the Chief laying in the top of the canopy. The stomach of Lion opened to reveal a decent sized cargo hold, before the vehicle was lifted into the lion. The Red Lion melted some more of the droids along with the domes resulting in another five of the lava spiders crawled out of the station, crushing droids as they reached the open hanger and jumped out to the planet below. The Red Lion roared before closing its cargo hold and jumping back out the station. The hanger doors close as a the large Galra aimed it main turret at the lion as it began to fly away from the station.

Jorge and the Chief reach the cockpit and as the lion shakes, the Chief was the first to speak, "What is the situation?" before Six could answer, an image of the station and the Galra battleship was about to blast them with the turret on the top of the ship. The weapon emplacements on the station stated to glow purple, but blasted the battle ship.

The Lion then received a communication, another screen opened to reveal the slaves that Chief spoke to when he first entered the station, according to his clock was an hour previous. The first slave spoke while the second was being used as a stepping stool, "Humans we have taken the station," this actually surprised the chief.

He simply nods while Jorge speaks, "Well good for you," Six nodded.

Cortana then made herself known by saying, "Careful with the human derelict, it has some explosive ordnance in the armoury and weapon stations."

Slave one spoke, "Not the first time, Galra has been having us life forms adapting new technology to their technology, There loss, ha!"

Cortana laughed in the Chief's helmet and says, "Well good thing I changed the all the access codes to the Droids, sending them to you now." Cortana sent the codes to the terminal.

"Thank you humans," the slave said, "We will tell your story to everyone we meet. Now get out of here, before they send for re-enforcements."

With the Red Lion flew to the edge of the system while Six says, "Well, I don't think we have much of a choice."

The Chief looks to the Spartan at the controls when Jorge says, "What's wrong Six?"

"The first few minutes of flight was me, but now it feels like it is feeding information to me," Six answered.

Cortana was the first to speak, "Maybe that is why this Voltron is this ultimate weapon?"

Chief was silent until he asks, "Where is the 'lion' taking us?" using the word lion instead of craft because frankly, it did not feel right. Instead of an answer they look ahead to see a white glyph the size of a Covenant Super Carrier with the centre being a swirling vortex. The Chief next question was, "What is on the other side?"

Cortana scanned the vortex and says, "Whatever it is, appears to work as a two way Slipspace breach with the physics of a wormhole. Like that crystal we recovered from Reach after on the way back to Earth, but stable."

Chief managed to ask, "Where?" Before anything else could be said they flew into the portal...

Another Unknown Sector of Space-Other side of the Galaxy-A billionth of a second later

"Is it taking us?" Chief finished and then was shocked from the sudden change in location. He then says, "What happened?"

Cortana scanned the stars she could see and says, "We are on the opposite side of the Orion Constelation," That was when the Chief saw the Orion constellation but backwards. Cortana spoke, "Scale depicts we are at the same distance from the constellation as Earth give or take a light year."

Six looked forward having simular thoughts as Jorge and the Chief and says, "So why are we here?" his answer came in the feeling of emotions from the Red Lion, that reminded him of when he saw the planet he trained on from orbit for the first time. Six then says, "Maybe, the Lion is coming home."

The question was left unanswered before a radar was active before they see a green lion with a black shield on its back with white outline and a gold symbol in the centre. Cortana asks, "I am detecting, UNSC service tags onboard that other craft, along with eight unknown energy signatures, but I cannot get any details the hull of these crafts appear to shield from armour sensors."

The Chief looks at the Green Lion as it flew with them to a planet that from orbit looked like earth only with a fifty-fifty ratio of land and sea. The Chief says as they reach Orbit, "We will find out on the surface." If only he knew.

Twenty Four Hours earlier-Forerunner Shield world.

"Personal Log entry #1, of Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Spartan Fred-104. It has been three weeks since we first went through the portal in the core of the Forerunner Complex: Codename: Onyx," A Spartan in dark blue armour, his helmet at his side revealing a man in his early forties, brown hair, hazel eyes and a scar horizontally over his nose. He sits on a rock a hundred and fifty meters away from his fellow Spartans and two regular humans. "In the three weeks since we entered the portal, we have found clean water, with enough minerals and vitamins that could never be artificially be added. Food has been somewhat harder, fruits and vegetables have been scares, but Ash-G099, Olivia-G291 and Mark-G313 discovered a mammal that supplies enough meat to keep us feed for a couple days at a time, and as there is nine of us, seven of which being Spartan," Fred looks to the setting sun and says, "The good Doctor, said that we would be in a confined location, but so far we have been travelling in one direction, leaving beacons to find our way back, and so far we have found that we have been travelling around the outside of a globe, most liking a planet. Chronometer and step counter in my suit says. Indicates that we will have travelled half way around the planet in three more weeks, The size indicates that we are on a small moon, but the level of gravity indicates that the planet is the size of Earth."

Fred stands and starts pacing back and forth along the log he was sitting on. Fred then continues, "Our time spent on Onyx has left us drained but we are still alert for any possible danger, but so far all I have seen has been the fore mentioned mammals. Tom-B292 and Lucy-B091, have both reported hearing what was described as the roaring of a large feline, but when the others were asked, they could not recall any noises out of the ordinary."

Fred collected his helmet and says, "Doctor Halsey has requested each of us to recorded our thoughts on matters," he equips his helmet and says, "Well to sign off, I will say this, I believe that Doctor Halsey was lying about the Technology, but from interacting with the Spartan IIIs of Gama company, have been mixed, I trust them, but I feel threatened by their presence. And it is bugging me," with that Fred walked through the woods back to the camp site. Fred then makes one final comment, "I believe that if anything, I would have felt better with John leading us. He would have found a way for us to get back to friendly space." With that he turned off the recorder in his helmet.

He walked back to the campsite to find Mendez adding wood to the flame, the Spartan IIIs of Gamma Company were sleeping near the pods of Kitana squad plus three. Kelly and Linda were either in the trees around the camp, or stealthed in the forest around them. Doctor Halsey was trying to open the pods.

Fred questions Cheif Mendez, "Where are Petty Officers Tom and Lucy?"

Mendez looked up from the fire and says, "Well, from what they said, they went to hunt for food. Frankly if they weren't Spartans I would say they were sneaking off to make-out, sir." The elderly man joked, if he could see Fred's face he would have seen the confusion, but he still added, "Kissing, sir."

Fred nodded and says, "I wouldn't have a problem, let's face it with the events we have all been participants of," Fred sighs and takes a seat, "The way I see it, is that Kurt was probably their father figure, while you would be the Grand father figure they hate."

Mendez laughs lightly, that scared Fred, before he says, "Well I am their Drill Sergeant, the Lieutenant Commander Ambrose was more the inspiration, and the master mind behind all the tests. Seriously, the first group had to jump out of a pelican before they were accepted into the program," Mendez sighs and says, "Since then he appeared to see the Spartan IIIs as more than expendable soldiers."

Fred nods and asks, "How many Spartan IIIs did you train?"

Mendez scratched his chin, and failed to see that Doctor Halsey had stopped her works, "Well, the first company had three hundred survivors of the modifications to make them Spartans," Fred and Halsey was surprised, "though in the first group, those who failed the final tests resulted in them becoming part of the training staff for the second group. those part of the first group lasted a year and a half, before they were sent on a suicide mission."

Fred asks, "Suicide for marines or Spartan?"

"They were sent to a moon that was used to construct Covenant Warships," Mendez answered, "They lasted a week, before the Covenant shot them from space." Mendez was silent for a second, "The second group only had two survivors, one was physically and mentally healthy and the other became a mute." Indicating Tom and Lucy. "No idea about the other members of Gamma company, except the squad that was killed by sentinels."

Halsey was silent before she speaks, "Tomorrow I suggest we take a rest, we all have been running for the last week. Give everyone a break, before we continue our search, Lieutenant." When Doctor Halsey respects the chain of command you better listen to her.

Fred nods in agreement and says, "Yeah, some shore leave would be for the best, but we will still need to have people keeping watch."

"Who-Raa!" Linda says after revealing herself in the trees above.

Then Fred was radioed, "I am all for it," Kelly spoke in her British accent.

Tom was then heard, "Lucy and Myself will make camp for our hunting trip, bring back a couple of the Mammoth pigs," Tom was silent for a second and says, "Maybe we will find out what is roaring." Tom shut the line.

Fred sighs and asks the Doctor, "Was hallucinations part of the side effects of Augmentation?"

"No," Doctor Halsey answered, "The Chemicals that Kurt added to Gamma companies Augmentations would." Fred looked to her behind his helmet, where she sighs and says, "Their augmentations included a serum that amplifies the fight or flight response to the point that they would fight until their hearts explode and their mind sets become that of a wounded animal."

Fred sighs and says, "So Kurt became desperate to save 'his' Spartans.

Fred looked to the Spartan IIIs sleeping. The four survivors of Onyx, Ash-G099, Olivia-G291, Mark-G313 and Dante-G188, all with bodies of late teenagers but all fourteen years of age. Each of them reminding Fred that he was that young on his first mission, before he received the Mjolnir armour and engaged the Covenant. Instead these Children was given armour that made them almost invisible, but gave them the same protection as a spacesuit.

Semi-Powered Infiltration or SPI armour that has no modification options, all coming in the same shade of green, with gold visor. The only difference between armour is the very small, individual Spartan tag located on the under suit of the armour. This armour could be worn by everyone, as it does not cause the human body to kill itself with a twitch of the finger.

For the rest of the night Fred would watch the flames in thought totally unaware that Ash had been awake for the entire conversation with a single thought, 'How do I keep my team alive, if they go crazy and we attack each other?"

Dawn-the next day-Twelve hours before Red Lion Intercepts Green Lion-With Tom and Lucy.

The two Nineteen year olds had been together since they first started training to be a Spartan, and since the operation TORPEDO, they have had each others' backs. Currently Tom was sleeping near the small fire they made, while Lucy was hidden in the trees above. All was peaceful before a loud roar was heard, causing Tom to awaken and aim his rifle around him from a crouched position, before Lucy dropped down and pointed.

Tom asks, "It felt really close, but louder. Right?" Lucy nods before Tom adds, "I will Radio the group," they hear the roar again. Tom speaks into his radio, "Sir, we heard the roar again, we are going to investigate." Tom and Lucy walked towards never hearing the response of their commanding officer.

They continue walking along a path they found in the direction of the 'roar.' They silently went along the path until they reached a river that had a canoe carved with a lion theme, with the front ornament being the head of a lion. The two Spartans stood next to each other, not noticing the creature standing next to them until they turned their heads towards the Humanoid Sloth. Tom and Lucy Jumped away from the Sloth man and aimed at the life form with their cut down assault rifles.

The Sloth man smiled and waved the two towards the boat in a lazy manner. Tom looked at the Sloth then to Lucy, who shrugs, before contacting, "Ah, sir."

The radio was silent before Fred spoke, "Tom, listen we have been intercepted by a group of humanoid sloths, they are friendly do not engage."

"Sir, we just found what you described, and it got the drop on us," Tom replied.

"You are not the only one," Fred replied.

Tom saw Lucy get in the boat and Tom sighs before saying on the radio, "We are going to follow a lead, and I believe it has something to do with this roar Lucy and I have been hearing."

Fred didn't respond. Tom got in the boat before the Sloth used a large stick to push the boat along the river past ruins with a Lion with what appeared to be a shield on its back, fighting beasts amongst trees and concealing itself from what appeared to be star ships. What happened next was confusing to Tom and Lucy as they pass an overhang that has small cuddly creatures, humming a tune that could be considered romantic.

Lucy stared at them before looking over her shoulder at Tom, and blushes lightly before focusing forward. After they pass the alcove along the river, the discover temple structures made of stone, not special quartz like on Onyx, but out of old faded marble, with what appeared to be emeralds that began to light up the closer they got to the main structure.

The boat ride ended at the base of a pyramid that appeared to have a dome of trees at the top that reached the canopy. They looked to the Sloth man who appeared to be asleep while standing up. Tom and Lucy each took a deep breath before taking a look at each other and taking the first step up towards the pyramids' summit. They continued climbing the branches as they reached the physical top of the structure.

Once there the roaring stoped as the two Spartans looked around before sitting down and Tom speaking, "If this was a trap?" he looked at the canopy before looking down and saying, "We would be attacked from below," he looked down between the branches to see two green eyes larger than the two Spartans.

From the base of the Pyramid the Sloth man watched as a humungous lion jumped out of the branches, its form covered in shadow.

With Fred and the others-thirty minutes earlier-Ten minutes before Tom contacted Fred.

Fred was sleeping restfully, in the best sleep he has gotten since before the attack on Earth. He had awoken earlier and decided to dismantle his weapons to clean them and to ensure that all his weapons were working. He would then be joined by Ash and later Olivia and Mark, in their maintenance of their weapons. After they were complete with their weapons Olivia went and joined Linda in the trees while Ash and Mark went on a short patrol, with Kelly.

Fred sighed before hearing light humming next to him. He turned his head before jumping back and aiming at a humanoid sloth that then waves at him. Fred with wide eyes watched as the Sloth man revealed a blanket filled with fruits, and appeared to be set up for a picnic.

Doctor Halsey and Mendez notes the position of Fred as they look up from the pods, to see the humanoid Sloth before they look at each other and see a couple more Sloth men behind the other. The Sloths have goofy smiles as Mendez upholstered his pistol and aimed at the Sloth man behind Halsey while Halsey examined the Sloth man behind Mendez and says, "Fascinating, an alien species that appear to be peaceful," she looked over to Fred and says, "And clearly they have developed an ability that allows them to surprise those with heightened senses."

"Doctor!" Fred, Mendez and Linda shouts. Linda a bit more freaked out, due to a Sloth man appearing twenty feet in the air on the branch between her and Olivia.

"Stand down," Doctor Halsey spoke her tone neutral before she says, "If they wanted us dead they would have attacked when you all could defend yourselves."

Fred took a second to contemplate what she says, and sighs before saying, "So there are Natives in this place?" the Humanoid sloths tilted their heads in confusion. Tom then contacted Fred while Kelly, Ash and Mark return with a couple more Humanoid sloths, with a couple more sacks of food. Fred sighs and asks, "Snuck up on the three of you?" he received three embarrassed nods and says, "Tom and Lucy apparently have found a clue into why they have been hearing a lion roaring."

Kelly was the first to ask, "Without back up?"

"Yeah, they were the only ones who heard it," Fred replied before saying, "From what they said, there may be a reason that only they can be hearing whatever is calling them."

Ash was the first one to comment, "If anything the Lieutenants were in charge of some of the more difficult tests relating to technology. Some of Gamma Company had been covered in paint from some of the booby traps they added and changed to give us experience."

Mark growled and says, "That is because every time the trap went off you were fast enough to dodge." Ash shrugged.

With that the Spartans started to enjoy some fruits and vegetables. They then discovered that there was, what appeared to be, potatoes under their feet, along with stones that produced heat when metal is placed near it, which was used to boil the potatoes, in a wooden bowl without burning the bowl.

Halsey spoke, "Amazing, they have developed so drastically differently they were able to use materials that would be damaged beyond repair if used the same way on Earth."

"Doctor," Fred spoke as Ash began to eat the fruits and vegetables, before Mark and Olivia ate silently, "You understand why we should be cautious, right?"

"Of course," Doctor Halsey answered, "and I counter that these life forms have been kind and the fact that the Covenant may have never met this species."

Mendez, Kelly and Linda began to eat the food as Fred says, "Is it really a bad thing to be cautious?"

"No," Halsey spoke, "It is perfectly reasonable, you are concerned for the Safety of your allies and fellow Spartans. Clearly they are not part of a religious cult hell bent on destroying Humanity because of mistranslations."

Fred sighs before asking one of the Sloth men, "Do any of you understand anything we are saying," the Sloth men all nod but say nothing. Fred was expecting them to speak instead, one of the Sloth men swipe their hand over a piece of grass revealing the dirt beneath.

The Sloth man's smile appeared to become bigger before directing the Spartan's attention to the ground where they start to see drawings that started to move, depicting armies of humanoid figures fighting against a small group of individuals who won. The pictures started to shimmer before depicting five cats, one with wings and another with a shield, the five lions combined into a large figure that swung a sword through another dark figure. The images depicted the lion figure protecting different life forms including the Sloth men, while figures depicting monsters trying to attack. The images changed to a picture of the Halo rings, along with many different life forms, along with the Sloth men and members of the Covenant. What happened next was that all of the life forms vanished while the five lions were all drawn in circles of different sizes and the Lion with wings was depicted under a pointed structure.

Halsey was the first to speak, "Fascinating, So your ancestors passed this information from before the Halo Array was activated all those years ago?" the Sloth man nods and Halsey adds, "Amazing, but how did the story get passed to the next generation? The Halo array destroys all life within range."

The Sloth man indicates the drawing again that changed to depict a rough stone pillar with smaller drawing on the side.

"Of course," Halsey acknowledge before seeing the Spartan IIs and IIIs confused, "They have stones with these drawing, much like ancient human cave paintings, but this culture may still understand their significance," the Sloth man nods before standing and directing the Group to follow the Sloth men.

Fred turns to Doctor Halsey from his standing position and asks, "What now?"

"We follow them," Halsey answered.

Fred nods and says, "Linda, you and Saber stay here and guard the pods and wait for Tom and Lucy to return," Linda nods in acknowledgement.

Fred, Kelly, Doctor Halsey and Cheif Mendez follow the slow Sloth men to a clearing near where Fred recorded his thoughts. They hear a loud Roar and aim their weapons towards the sky before they spot a giant green Lion with a shield on its back, fly to the ground facing them. What happened Next shocked the four humans.

"Sirs, I think we found Halsey's tech stash, she was talking about," Tom spoke from the Lion.

Inside the Green Lions head.

Tom sat in the front while Lucy sat in a seat behind him with what appeared to be a tactical consol. Tom then spoke, "through the radio, because if it is, it can fly really fast. Flew into orbit and back within minutes."

Outside.

Fred replied, "It does not look like Forerunner Tech," the Sloth men appeared to freeze more before relaxing, an affect that only Doctor Halsey noticed from her peripheral vision.

Doctor Halsey took her glasses off and cleaned them before returning them to her face and saying, "Because it is not," Fred looked over his shoulder at her, "It appears to be based on a feline based creature," she steps up to the left front paw and taps the metal, "I don't recognise the metal," she looked closely at the basic design and says, "the design is simular to the pods."

Fred's eyes widen under his helmet before saying, "Tom, is there enough space to hold the pods and everyone inside?"

Inside

Lucy types on the tactical screen in front of her and gives Tom, a thumbs up before Tom sees the basic blue prints exposing a large cargo room in the chest of the Lion. Tom says, "There is an empty cargo space," Lucy then opened the chest hatch.

Outside

Tom says over the speakers, "Orders sir?"

Fred took a deep breath, before thinking, 'With this we could search the whole planet in a couple hours,' he nods and uses his Radio, "Linda, I am sending Kelly back to bring you and Sabre to us, prep the pods too."

Kelly saluted before running back to the others while Doctor Halsey asks, "What are you thinking, Fred?"

Fred turns his head to the Doctor and says, "Well, with what we have seen and our rate of our search," Fred let that hang in the air.

"You feel we need to return to Earth?" Doctor Halsey questioned.

Fred did not say anything until, "We stopped the Covenants attempt on Earth shortly after you kidnapped Kelly, but that did not stop the second attack. They had a smaller fleet but they just left before a fleet came and resumed the attack twenty four hours later," Fred took a deep breath, "We left them without Spartans, John followed one of the Covenant leaders, no idea where."

Doctor Halsey understood where Fred was coming from, she had hoped that John had come with the Spartan IIs and now she knew why. The Doctor asks, "Was Cortana?"

Fred nods and says, "They felt that it was best to have Cortana stay with John, they blew up a super carrier with their own bomb before taking the fight to New Mombasa."

Chief Mendez asks, "So now both the Hyper Lethalls have blown up a super carrier," he nods and says, "Well it is official, I train bad asses."

Fred's head turned so fast it almost broke the sound barrier to stare at that, before he rubs his helmeted head, feeling a head ache coming on. Fred asks himself, "Was he always like this?"

"Only when I am not a Drill Sergeant," Mendez answered which just confused Fred further.

Fred found himself a little scared before he calmed down and says, "Well, we have a plan now. The question is what next?"

Inside

Tom looked at the controls and sees a scan of the entire planet along with stars that can be seen from orbit. Tom was examining the navigation system, before he opened the Mouth hatch for Fred, Mendez and Doctor Halsey into the craft.

Lucy did not acknowledged them as they reached the cockpit, she just continued to search the Lion for anything that could be dangerous. Doctor Halsey reached the Cockpit before Fred and asks, "Where did you find this?" indicating the whole lion.

Tom and Lucy simply hand her the recordings they made for her to review. She took the memory cards and chose a corner at the back of the cockpit and opened her laptop and copied the video recordings to her lap top memory. Mendez entered the cockpit and says, "Fred is 'talking' to the natives," he looks to the consoles and says, "Welp, I have no idea how to fly this."

Tom replies, "I do not either," Chief Mendez looks at him before and nods as Tom adds, "Then again, the only crafts I have properly flown have been Pelicans and being a passenger on a Covenant Dropship."

Outside

Fred thanks the Sloth men before he turned his head towards the lion before turning back to witness the Sloth men, holding a bags filled with food. Fred was surprised, and asks, "Did we do something that was in some way?"

The Sloth men simply smile and do not say or draw any images as Linda, Kelly and the three members of team Sabre arrive with the eight pods. Linda and Team Sabre froze at the sight of the large green mechanical lion, as Kelly simply pushed two pods forward, and says, "Yeah, Sloth people that can get past us and giant metal lions. Whats next? Magical elves in a flying castle," she says sarcastically.

"Don't let John hear that," Fred joked, "For all we know, he has seen that," with that Linda released an uncharacteristic snort of amusement.

When the Spartan IIIs, Fred and Kelly looked to her she says, "John has destroyed a Genocide level super weapons the size of a moon, before stealing a Covenant Flagship to pick the two of you up," gesturing to Fred and Kelly, "If anything he probably could have destroyed the Covenant Fleet heading for Earth the first time by himself without a scratch."

Ash was intrigued by this story and asks, "Who is John?"

Fred looked to the young squad leader and says, "He is the leader of all the Spartan IIs, and the best Spartan of us all," the Spartan IIIs looked sceptical, "Trust me, there is enough evidence to support it."

Kelly then growls and says, "And so lucky it defies reason." Then starts muttering about a rock during a race and how it just suddenly appeared. (=P)

Fred shock his head, he had seen his friend has extraordinary luck in the past, the one that came to mind is the time a building fell on a Scarab just before it was going to destroy a mobile base Blue team was trapped in, and all John had was a grenade. Fred shook his head and accepts the sacks of food, which had wave to him in Goodbye. Fred thanks the Sloth men but when he blinked they were gone.

Fred sighed as he entered the Lion, through the jaw and through the Cargo hold and enters a hatch and past what appeared to be a hover bike and entered the Cockpit to reveal, Tom at the Controls, Lucy in the 'passenger' seat, typing away. Doctor Halsey examining the recordings Tom and Lucy made, while comparing the two with Forerunner tapestry. Chief Mendez just watched Lucy's screen at the weird coding that made Fred say, "Why is it in English?" Before he received an answer the Lion sealed itself from the outside world, roars and flies up, without stopping. "Tom, what are you doing?"

Tom tried to move the controls and says, "The controls are jammed," the Lion was gaining altitude to the point where they flew past the moon. "I think it wants to take us somewhere."

Kelly reached the Cockpit behind Fred and says, "We all managed to get inside with the pods, no evidence of us forgetting equipment. Though Tom should slow down, Team Sabre and Linda are getting nauseas."

Fred shook his head, Linda was the only Spartan that could stay still for weeks, but could never handle turbulent flight. Fred looked out the main window to see a gigantic white glyph circle that opens into what appeared to be a portal. Fred shouts, "Doctor!"

Doctor Halsey stands without any issue, looks out the windshield to reveal the portal to her, she fixes her antique glasses on her face before she says, "Well, the glyphs we see is similar to the inscriptions Tom and Lucy recorded before they found," Lucy taped her seat to get their attention, the Doctor looked to the consol and says, "Welp, whoever made this craft clearly has no imagination in naming. It quite literally is called Green Lion. The inscriptions showed the Green Lion exiting the portal. My speculation on the subject would indicate that the lion has a time delayed recall feature when activated. Tom did you have full control before we entered the craft?"

"Yes maim," Tom answered, "From what happened before, it took seconds to learn to fly. It took me a week to learn to fly a Pelican. Lucy though took a month, but only in an engineering and co-pilot standpoint." Lucy nodded in support.

Fred looked to the cockpit before asking, "Any idea where it is taking us?"

"I-" Doctor Halsey started as they reach the portal.

Another Unknown Sector of space that moment.

"Have no idea," Doctor Halsey says.

Tom speaks up, "We are on the other side of the portal."

The Doctor was shocked before turning to the wind shield to see a planet that was similar to Earth, but clearly not. The ratio of land and sea was inverted compared to Earth. Halsey then comments, "Instant slipspace travel from an external source?"

Fred follows her train of thought and says, "So from one unknown location to another?"

Tom looks outside and says, "Stars don't match the previous pl-" he stopped speaking when he sees a red lion like the green lion, only without the shield.

Fred followed his line of sight and sighs, "There is more than one lion?"

Vacuum of space.

The two lions flew through the void of space and then into the atmosphere of the 'unknown' planet. They appeared to speak to one another before the two crafts sped up as if racing one another.

In Atmosphere.

The two lions sped forward to what appeared to be a white castle, with four towers and a spire in the middle. The two lions flew around the castle twice before going to the end of an uncompleted bridge, as in the structure that connects to points over a large gap. Red was first to land and skidded along the ground on four paws before stopping at the Castle's gate. The Green Lion slowed down to the point where it walked to the door before letting the pods, Linda and Team Sabre out before opening its jaw to the ground, causing Tom, Lucy, Kelly, Fred and Chief Mendez to roll out, collapsed on the floor on top of Fred and Chief Mendez on the very top. Doctor Halsey simply walked out of the lion without any issue.

With Red Lion it roared in Victory before coughing up Master Chief, Jorge and Six. The Chief rolled before crouching and scanning the area with his battle rifles. Jorge's Mace rolled away after he landed on his face, while Six, had managed to slide on his knees and scanned the area with his assault rifle.

Doctor Halsey walked forward and looks to some inscriptions to the side, that depict the Green and Red lions along with another three, and depictions of a lion goddess that was newer by a couple thousand years. Halsey spoke, "Incredible, these are the same type of markings that were surrounding the Green Lion," intentionally ignoring The Master Chief, Jorge, Six and the Red Lion.

The Master Chief turned to the Doctor and the Spartans from the Green Lion and Chief Mendez, and says, "Maim?" The Doctor continued to ignore Master Chief before he sighs and says, "Sometimes I forget the two of you are related," he shook his head.

Cortana started to speck with her voice distorted, "We-we-well her her her her brain brain," the Chief yanked her chip from his helmet and Cortana calms down, "Sorry, I am not as young as I was." Doctor Halsey looked over her shoulder to look at Cortana's form as it displayed her avatar. The Red Lion dropped the SVW before sitting down to rest as Cortana says, "I am over the standard limit for smart AI, I will eventually go rampant and damage any systems I am connected to."

The Chief was silent for a moment before asking, "Is there any way to reverse it."

Cortana spoke, "I don't know."

Doctor Halsey sighs and says, "There is a way," this gained the attention of the Spartan IIs and Chief Mendez, the Spartan IIIs were just confused, "Implanting Cortana into a complex system just as advanced as the human brain." She then looks towards the castle and says, "Who knows what we will find; only making an effort and having a look, the possibility of finding what we need is inside."

The Master Chief nods before inserting Cortana into his helmet and asking, "Why did you abandon us Doctor," his tone was neutral but Doctor Halsey understood that he was upset.

"I have an estimated six hundred and thirty reasons," Doctor Halsey answered, "That is how many children Ackerson used to make his Spartan IIIs," she walked to the castle, "All used as cannon fodder and most dying within the first year of engagement."

If the Doctor or the Spartan IIIs could see his face they would see the Chief's neutral expression would be slightly frowning and an eyebrow slightly raised, To Chief Mendez and the Spartan IIs, they could understand what he said next would be considered angry, "What did he do?" his tone was slightly more contained compared to normal.

Doctor Halsey looked to the Chief and says, "he had the best soldiers of each battalion act as his personal assassins. Gave them subpar equipment and intel. He faked Kurt's death, to train them, in half the time and Kurt," she couldn't say anything else.

The Master Chief spoke, "They added an additional augmentation, right?"

Everyone there was shocked before Cortana says, "Wow, less than ten minutes and you are already, further ahead than me."

The Master Chief was silent before he says, "It is the same reason why the Doctor stopped making more Spartan IIs," everyone was standing at this point, "The guilt would have killed him eventually," he walked towards the castle doors before the two lions roared and the large lion sized doors opened for them before the two lions were sealed in their coloured shields.

Doctor Halsey, looks to the doors before stepping through first. She looked around while Mendez, Linda and Olivia watched the pods as John, Fred, Kelly, Jorge, Six, Tom, Lucy, Ash and Mark followed Doctor Halsey into the castle. They walked until they reached an open area with five paths beside the path they came from. in the middle was a hexagon panel on the floor, that they all stepped in, resulting in a force field to block their path.

It was then that a tall horizontal disk made an appearance with a single hole on the front, that lit up before speaking in English, "Please stand still for security scan."

The Spartans complied with the doctor before it completed its scan, though when it scan the Master Chief two small lights flashed where his cheeks where located under the visor. The drone completed its scan before saying, "Welcome to the Castle of Lions, please follow the path," the drone flew towards a recess in the wall before stopping, "Please have the Altaian pods moved into the castle for scanning." The drone went into the wall before the path it indicated was of glowing rainbow of colours that led to a wall.

Fred contacted Linda and told her to bring the pods in before telling Ash and Mark to lead them here with the pods.

Doctor Halsey and her Spartan escort followed the path shown to them where they entered a wide elevator that could hold a few dozen took them to the central tower more specifically half way up said tower. Where they see a circular room with smaller circles evenly spaced around the centre circle of the room. They took some steps forward as Doctor Halsey spots a panel that appears to have a function relating to the room. She waves her hand over the terminal and nothing happened.

The Master Chief looked around the perimeter of the room before standing at one of the circles on the ground. That raises itself from the floor to reveal a pod from Onyx, Doctor Halsey was the first to speak, "This is not Forerunner technology. Its older then-"

"Halo," the Chief comments before brushing what appeared to be dust of the side of the pod to reveal what appeared to be a human, with tanned skin and face tattoos, and flowing white hair. The Chief asks, "Is she alive?" Before any answer was made the pod glowed and opened.

The girl opened her eyes as she awoke, before she shouts, "Father," before collapsing in the Master Chief's arms. She looks up to the Master Chief and asks, "Who are you?"

The Master Chief said the first thing that came to mind, "an ally."

:End of Chapter One:

(With this, the first chapter is complete, and at the completion this is the first crossover between Halo and Voltron Legendary Defenders.

I wish to thank the Author EvaShinobiKaiserKnight's story Genesis Defender Voltron. Which caused the thought of who would I want to pilot the Black Lion, and having read the novel adaptations of the game as well as playing said games, I thought that the Master Chief would be a good fit.

Please review and Comment without spoiling the story to others.

Until Next Time...BEWARE THE WRAITH!)
