AN: Alright I'm starting another one a RVB fanfic to be exact! Now just so you know, even though the first chapter seems to be director-centric it isn't it's just how I wrote it but it is actually an OC. Note there is Multi-Pairing/Harem consisting currently of a Tex/OC/Carolina.
I know that I might be rushing and I apologize if it sounds like it... But I've always had a thing for this series so forgive me. I might calm down about it along the way... A very small chance but a chance nonetheless.
Prologue: The Return of a Legend
[Mother of Invention, Director's quarters]
Drifting in space was a large ship known as the Mother of Invention, one of the greatest frigate class ships which was classified as an MCC (Mobile Command Center). Carrying the personnel of a UNSC Project called 'Project Freelancer'. Said project's purpose was to test the skill of soldiers alongside experimental A.I. For the future of Humanity.
Sitting in the captains deck was a man with faded grey hair and wore a black and grey uniform. Sitting within his own quarters he done as he always had, whenever he got a chance watched the last time he had seen the two of the three people he ever cared about. In the video was a woman with blonde hair kept in a pony tail and emerald eyes she was wearing the standard issued UNSC marine uniform.
Beside here was another woman with black hair, red streaks and crimson eyes. She also wore the standard issue UNSC marine uniform with a Katana strapped on her back and was smirking with amusement at the entire situation.
"Leonard, come on, stop it, put that thing down. we'll be late... and they need us.." The blonde pleaded as she gave a sideways glare at the woman next to her for not helping.
"Hey don't look at me like that Allison, he's YOUR husband after all." The raven haired woman retorted to the glare sent her way as she crossed her arms with a ever growing smirk.
"Shut it Kuren or next time I won't pay for those little food trips you make..!" She hissed at the now named Kuren whom held her hands out in resignation and slight protest.
The now named Allison sighed in resignation as the camera hadn't been taken a way.
"Alright... Alright, Just one more time okay? I don't wanna be late." She resigned. The man however slight tuned it out as his face went from stoic to one of grief. This... was the last moment he had seen either of them. Before he lost them to the Great War. He could barely hold his grief when he had found out they both died. If it weren't for the fact he still had Carol he'd have shot himself already.
He tuned in again when he heard Allison speak once more nearing the end of the recording.
"Don't say goodbye... I hate goodbyes.. Alright..." She smiled sadly, Kuren seeing this as a signal to step in and placed an arm around her hugging her tightly, making the blonde smile. Kuren then looked at the camera with another smirk.
"You won't have to... Don't worry, I give you my word Church, I'll do whatever I can to bring her back... Even if I gotta go through hell itself. And you know how I am with promises." She said as the smirk grew into a Cheshire grin. "And when we do the first rounds are on me, then we'll tell you our little 'war' stories after."
The man watching the video, Leonard Church, smiled sadly at that. She was always with them always there for the long ride.
They both then turned and heard a PAC system announce. "Attention all personnel of the UNSC Meridium we will be departing shortly. I repeat all personnel of the UNSC Meridium we will be departing shortly."
"Looks like we gotta go Allison, come on I'm sure you wanna have first pick on the bunkers. 'Sides I don't wanna share a room with one of those Helljumpers.. Arrogant pricks.." She grumbled the last part out. As she placed on her helmet and started walking off towards a pelican which had docked to take them to the UNSC Ship. Allison followed behind her, the moment both reached it however they turned around giving him a smirk before entering the Pelican. Ending the video.
It was the last time he had seen them... Alive anyway, Months after the Departure of UNSC Meridium he was given news of their death. Their squad was ambushed by Spec Ops Elites. They had managed to make a stand but when Allison and Kuren noticed the growing forces that attacked them. Both had ordered their team to leave.
They killed a great number of the Covenant and were actually winning when the Covenant dropped Generals to deal with them after noticing how long they lasted. In fact it was confirmed that at least 10 General elites had fallen in the fight. Alas they were overwhelmed. When their squad returned to assist the fight was already over.
Allison suffered multiple needler shots and high degree burns most likely by Plasma Rifles and Energy Swords even had a large energy blade impaled into her body. Kuren on the other hand had suffered much worse. She had lost an arm which by the Plasma residue was caused by either a Plasma grenade or Plasma sword; Her torso was riddled with needler shots and plasma burns even a large plasma cut right through the chest.
What astounded them however was that she died AFTER Allison despite her wounds and her body was found shielding Allison's own as her back was shot by so many plasma and needler rounds that it was showing bone and was soaked in blood. Her helmet was found a few meters away it's recording showing how Kuren had limped her way to Allison as the Elites around her had slowly stopped firing watching as she struggled with one broken leg to go and protect her friend. When she had reached her, another elite had grabbed the Katana off her back and stabbed both with it as an 'Honorable' end for their fight against them leaving the blade to be retrieved.
The man stared at the blade currently hung in his room it had a black handle and a golden guard; it's blade was pure black with red traces alongside it. Looking at it reminded him of what he had worked for lately. While true Project Freelancer was to Test experimental A.I, he had actually been trying to find a way to bring them back. In fact he was so close he could taste it.
'Kuren, Allison I promise I'll bring you back..' He was close and No one would stop him... Not even ONI.
"Director." A voice spoke shaking the man from staring at his computer as he started to the entrance finding it to be a black man wearing a similar uniform as him.
"What is it Councilor?" The Director responded as his eyes drifted towards the video.
"Agents North & South Dakota; along with Agent Carolina have returned from their mission." The Councilor informed, The Director glanced over to him for a moment before standing up.
"Thank you Councilor, do you have any news about Alpha and Agent Texas?" He asked the man before him.
"Alpha has stabilized after his fragmentation any memories of the 'incident' have been removed. As for Agent Texas, well, after a few sessions with her I've been able to deduce that she is ready to be deployed as an Agent of Project Freelancer." The Councilor finished watching as the Director stared out to the every constant empty space of the Galaxy.
"Anything else?" The Director asked as his hand reached into a pocket before grasping a photo. A photo he took of Allison and Kuren before their departure.
"Actually, there is. Agent Texas has told me she has been getting dreams... they were vague, yet there was enough there for me to conclude that they re her memories. Many of them seem to include Agent Tokyo." He answered seeing the Director turn his head. "Speaking of Agent Tokyo... The UNSC Victoria has release her from her tour alongside them and she'll be returning. In fact the Pelican that's transporting her should be here within the hour." The Counselor noted how the Director straightened and the faint smirk he could see told him he was happy of that.
"Councilor, After North and South's report I want all Freelancer agents to report to the Hangar Bay, Including Agent Texas we'll introduce both of them there." He announced reaching the Observation deck.
[Pelican en-route to Mother of Invention]
Aboard the Pelican making it's way to the Mother of Invention was a woman in spartan armor wearing Modified Hayabusa shoulders and chest piece which had a Katana on it's back and a Kukri strapped to the right side of her chest, with a Mjolnir VI helmet which was shaded black and red.
"Eager to be back, Tokyo?"A female voice asked when a hologram appeared beside her. Said Hologram was a blue version of her Hayabusa armor.
"You've no Idea Elpida, I wanna see how much changed while I was gone; wonder how Carolina's doing.." Tokyo responded to her A.I.
"If I had to guess she's currently Number one on the leader board." The A.I known as Elpiida spoke with amusement clear in it's tone.
"Fifty bucks say she isn't." Tokyo wagered. Seing the A.I visually rub her forehead
"Seriously? I can't even use money. Besides you know I'm always right! Remember that bet we made on Sidewinder?" Elpida retorted with a knowing grin as she saw the Freelancer grumble.
"How was I suppose to know he'd turn around as I did it?! He scared the shit outta me with that scream of his!" Tokyo protested, before seeing the A.I cross her arms.
"So you proceeded to pull his skull out and begin beating the shit out of him?" Elpida asked, getting silence from the Freelancer before Tokyo spoke up again.
"Now that I think about it... it didn't seem physically possible..." She mumbled out it had happened on her trip to UNSC Victoria she had stopped at Sidewinder so the pilot could refuel when she came across soldiers in blue... That... didn't end well.
"Mother of Invention this is Victor Three O' Second, requesting permission to land in Hangar Bay." The pilot spoke.
"This is Mother of Invention's A.I, F.I.L.S.S What is your transport Pilot?" F.I.L.S.S requested
"I'm transporting Agent -" F.I.L.S.S Just let him pass! He's been having a bad day!" Tokyo Interrupted the Pilot.
"Oh, Agent Tokyo have you finally returned?" F.I.L.S.S asked in excitement, while not many knew F.I.L.S.S had enjoyed Agent Tokyo's company and her constant story telling fascinated her to the point it had gotten quite... attached. So after finding out she would be gone for so long she had been lonely.
"Yeah F.I.L.S.S here to stay." She smirked at the A.I.
"What wonderful news! I will inform the Director immediately!" F.I.L.S.S exclaimed, causing Tokyo to chuckle.
"There's no need F.I.L.S.S I already knew... It's good to have you back Tokyo." The Director greeted the Freelancer.
"It's good to BE back, Sir." Tokyo responded, she noticed how the Director had went silent for a moment before continuing.
"As soon as you make it back... I'd like for you to come to the observation deck. I have something to discuss with you." He informed her. Tokyo took off her helmet revealing the raven haired woman from the video identical right to the eye color.
"What about?" She asked tilting her head, while true the Director spent more time with her than most freelancers. It was usually something to do with memories. Many of them were faded or too vague. But there was enough of it to understand that the Director was a friend of hers.
"It's... About Allison.." The Director spoke, being vague yet, the mention of the name was enough for Tokyo to immediately comply.
"Understood...Director." She responded, her slightly cheery persona was gone within an instant. Replaced with the one brought by her life as a Freelancer Agent. Unknown to her the Director had winced at her tone before cutting communications.
"Well, guess this is my stop." She mumbled out as she walked towards her seat. The pilot looked over his shoulder and looked at her for a moment.
"It was an honor to have you Ma'am." He said as the Ship's Hangar Bay opened
[Minutes earlier, Mother of Invention, Observation Deck.]
The Director sighed as he looked at three agents before him. First was Agent North Dakota, who wore a Purple and green version of the Mjolnir VI armor and His sister, South Dakota who wore a lighter shade of purple and green armor. The two were great Agents of that he had no doubt. However He now doubted South Dakota's reliability due to what had happened on their previous mission.
Glancing past them he saw another Agent, his daughter, Carolina. Carolina wore an aqua Spartan Armour and had removed her helmet revealing a women with crimson hair and emerald eyes. Ever since the departure of Agent Tokyo, Carolina had cut herself off from most of the other agents when it didn't include a mission. Perhaps her return would change that.
"The data you recovered has pinpointed the location of a very important target to Project Freelancer. Excellent work." He announced, noting South Dakota to be revving in anticipation.
"Thank you sir!" All three spoke simultaneously.
"Counselor update the leader board."
The Counselor then used his Notepad to update the leader board, shocking everyone as another Freelancer took number one, moving Carolina to 2nd, North to 5th and South to 6th. South was shocked and angry about the sudden change. North took it a lot more better as he just shrugged about it; and Carolina, seemed quite happy with what just occurred evidenced by how she smiled at seeing the name again.
"That is all. Dismissed."
Before they disbanded, South Dakota removed her helmet revealing blonde hair with light pink on the tips of her hair and Navy blue eyes.
"I thought you said that the mission was a success sir...!" South ground out. "And this new Agent appears out of nowhere and gets 1st place Immediately..?! All due respect sir but this is a load of Bu-
"Part of your mission was stealth. Your Carelessness, Agent South revealed our intentions..! Not only that but you've made the next mission even harder! Now they'll be ready for us!"The Director retorted as his tone suddenly went colder. "The 'new' Agent as you put it has been part of Project Freelancer for far longer than you or your brother. In fact the only people I'm certain still know of her are Agent Carolina & Agent Florida (Also Tex but as you know she isn't here yet). You're dismissed." he finished as he walked off.
This was when South stormed out of the room.
"Want me to talk to her?" Carolina offered, before seeing South smash a Door control Panel making it fall off as she walked off.
"Give her some time.." North replied. "Thanks for the offer though."
"All Freelancer agents, please report to the Hanger Bay. I repeat all Freelancers please report to the Hangar Bay." F.I.L.L.S announced in the P.A.C system
As he peered up looking at the new no.1 in Project Freelancer. "So... Carolina... What's this New guy like..?"
Carolina sighed and shook her head as she looked at him.
"First thing North It's a she... and second well let's just say that it's a long story."
"I've got time..." North replied as they walked out the door, said door closed after them.
The leader-board then showed the Agent that took Carolina's spot on the leader-board. A Freelancer who had fought in the battle for Reach and after this day would be recognized in either fear or respect.
Agent Tokyo
