Here is another story from my demented mind.

It is my first three way crossover. Halo x Stargate x an unknown franchise. I want you guys to tell me which franchise you want me to crossover with. I think this is going to be awesome.

And without any further ado, let us unleash the madness!

Halo is owned by 343 Industries, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis are owned by MGM.

Stargate Universe:

Inside the massive snowflake shaped city of Atlantis, General Jack O'Neill stood at the edge of one of the many balconies that dot the massive Manhattan sized city and stared out at the many stars.

He saw the massive ax shaped Ancient exploration ship Destiny fly in front of his view. He had to give Everett credit, he got his crew back home in one piece. However, what they got home to was nothing less then a nightmare.

It all started in August of 2011, just after the entire Destiny crew went into stasis. Eli managed to get the final stasis chamber repaired and then went in himself and so the crew went to sleep for the next three years. However, after that, things went bad for Earth.

A single Wraith commander managed to find a massive secret stash of ZPM's and quickly managed to install them across his fleet. One ZPM augmented Hive ship had been enough to nearly wipe out all of Earth's forces. Now they faced a fleet of no less then 25 Super-Hives. And to make things even worse, they learned the location of Earth.

They came without warning and managed to destroy the Sun Tzu without any problems. The Daedalus class warships Apollo, Odyssey, Daedalus, General Hammond, Phoenix, Hood, Stalingrad and Yamato all tried their best to stop them, but they were nothing more then flies attacking a tank and so Yamato, Stalingrad, Hood and Phoenix were all lost above Earth.

The remaining Daedalus class warships beamed as many humans off of the planet as possible and then beamed even more onto Atlantis until she couldn't hold anymore. Atlantis, using the power left in her ZPM's lifted off of Earth and with remnants of Earth's fleet, abandoned Earth.

What happened next was a series of defeats and losses as the Wraith managed to conquer all of the Milky Way galaxy in only a few years. The Tokra, Jaffa, Lucian Alliance and other various powers all tried to stop the Wraith, but were brushed aside with ease. Only Bra'tac and Teal'c along with five hundred other Jaffa, as well as five hundred Tokra exist anymore, all of them having to flee to the Tau'ri where they were welcomed and given sanctuary.

Atlantis and the Tau'ri all then fled to Pegasus, where the Wraith had renewed their campaign against the humans and managed to wipe out the Genii, the Travelers and many other powers, save for the Athosians who were quickly brought onto Atlantis and then, the Tau'ri fled to Othala, once home of the Asgard.

Once there, the Tau'ri quickly built a new warship called the Hail Mary, who flew off and went towards where the Destiny was supposed to be at.

Thankfully, the Destiny was there and so the Hail Mary managed to tow the Destiny all the way to the Othala galaxy.

Once Destiny arrived in Othala, a new plan was concocted by McKay and Carter to find a way to make sure their remaining people are safe.

McKay, his sister and Carter rebuilt their old Arcturus device that draws power from a parallel dimension, however by using the Asgard computer core, they manage to lock onto a reality that is devoid of life and is therefore safe to send the deadly exotic particles to. The plan works and limitless clean energy is achieved. Using this newfound power, McKay, Carter and Jeannie plan on recreating the Quantum Mirror and creating a portal that leads to a new reality where they can finally be at peace.

The plan is told and accepted by the Tau'ri civilians and thus the Quantum Mirror begins construction as the Destiny and other Tau'ri ships begin to receive upgrades and repairs.

That was a year ago. The year is 2016 and now, the Quantum Mirror is complete and the Tau'ri can find a new home upon which they can rebuild.

Jack sighed as he left the balcony and went back inside the city. As he walked through halls of Atlantis, dozens of people were likewise heading on their way. The sounds of people speaking to each other created a cacophony of overlapping voices. Atlantis truly felt like a city once more.

O'Neill stepped into the gate room and quickly ascended the stairs to the control area. Once there, he saw Carter talking with McKay and Jeannie.

"Carter, are we ready to head out?" Jack asked.

"Indeed we are sir. The Quantum Mirror checks out all across the board. She is fully charged and ready to go. Once we are through the Mirror, the Mirror will detonate and prevent anyone from following us through." Carter said.

"Got it. Give me city wide and patch me through to the fleet." Jack said.

Carter nodded and clicked a few button and gave O'Neill another nod.

Jack then said, "Attention everyone. As you all know, we have been working on a way to be safe from the Wraith forever and now we have found it. With the Quantum Mirror, we will leave this universe forever and find a new one to call home. I know this is tough. Trust me, I want to do nothing more then to take down those filthy monsters into hell for what they have done. However, we can't. We can barely defeat one Super-Hive and now we have 25 Super-Hive's as well as all the regular Hives. This is a fight we cannot win. The Jaffa, Tokra, everyone else who attempted to fight back has been eliminated. There is nothing left to fight for back home. We have a duty to protect our own. Even though there is nothing we can do to help those left in the Milky and Pegasus galaxies, we can help ourselves by making sure we survive. I now it feels like running and I hate it. Feels like we are betraying the Asgard and everything they stood for."

Jack paused for a second, the feeling of pain he felt when thinking of his long lost little buddy was nothing compared to the fact Jack felt as if he was disgracing everything Thor stood for.

"However, they would want us to live. They wouldn't want us to needlessly die trying to defeat an enemy we have no chance of beating. Even the Asgard fled their own galaxy when the Replicators looked too mighty to defeat. And so shall we leave as the Wraith are too strong to beat. We will survive, we will live on and we will never go quietly into the night. No matter what. For the fallen." Jack finished his speech.

Everywhere he looked, he saw the determined eyes of his fellow men and woman, all ready to follow him into the great unknown.

"Carter, start up the Quantum Mirror." Jack said.

Carter nodded and quickly punched in the commands into her console, sending forth hundreds of Zettajoules towards the massive silver plate shaped device a few hundred kilometers away from Atlantis.

The large plate that is seven times larger than an Ori Super Gate shimmered and shook until a large clear portal appeared inside the plate.

A probe was quickly sent through the portal and a few moments later, the probe revealed the transition was successful and it was safe for humans to use.

Cheers broke out as the news that the portal worked spread like wildfire before O'Neill calmed them all down and said, "Caldwell, lead the BC-304's through first and create a defensive ring for the Hail Mary and the Destiny to come through, Atlantis will bring up the rear."

"Acknowledged sir." Admiral Caldwell said. As the longest serving Tau'ri spaceship Captain, there is no one better to lead the fleet then Caldwell.

As one, the BC-304's quickly ignited their engines and moved forwards, their sleek frames absolutely tiny compared to the Hail Mary and Destiny, however the Daedalus class warships are still a force to be reckoned with.

The Daedalus herself was the first to reach the portal and within moments, the legendary ship went through and disappeared. Followed quickly by the Apollo, Odyssey, and then the General Hammond.

After the BC-304's entered the portal, Destiny and the equally large Hail Mary flew into the portal as well, leaving Atlantis all by herself.

"Sheppard, take us in." O'Neill ordered.

Sitting upon the control chair, Colonel John Sheppard replied, "Yes sir. Moving us towards the portal."

With only a thought, the ancient snowflake shaped city flew forth, her large clear shields deployed around her as she approached the portal.

Atlantis reached the portal and slide on through, the large city passing into the portal and out of view in but a few seconds.

The moment Atlantis finished heading through the portal, the large Quantum Mirror exploded as many carefully constructed bombs exploded. Each bomb has enough power to destroy all life on a planet and thusly, the Trinium and Naquada metal construction was vaporized within seconds and forever making sure the Wraith can never find the Tau'ri.

It would be many years before the remaining humans would be able to overthrow the Wraith once and for all, but that is a tale for another day. Our story continues on in a reality where seven large metal rings called Halos threaten all life.

Halo Universe:

The date is November 17, 2552 and currently, Earth is burning.

The Covenant forces have managed to unearth the Excession device and due to this, the Flood have invaded Earth while more Covenant forces are continuing to attack the weakened UNSC.

Lord Admiral Terrence Hood stood stoically as he watched his brave men and women fight and die in humanities name.

"Sir, I have detected massive unknown readings around five thousand kilometers from the main Covenant fleet!" An aid yelled out.

"Show me!" Hood ordered as a hologram was presented to him. It showed a massive clear portal crackling into existence, giant tears that look like cracks in a mirror stretching outwards in all directions.

Hood is no scientist, but even he can tell this is something humanity has never come across before.

Suddenly five objects came out of the portal, followed by two much larger objects which where then followed by a single massive object that is only outclassed in size by a Covenant Supercarrier or High Charity.

"Sir, the objects that came out of the portal are emitting massive amounts of energy, even the smallest objects are putting out more energy then entire UNSC battle-groups combined!" The same aid informed him.

"Are they Covenant ships?" Hood asked, knowing that the UNSC can't build anything close to resembling those kind of energy readings.

"No sir! They have a different profile from all other Covenant ship designs. They appear to be human in design, or at some of them. Here, I'll show you." The said said as she enlarged the image and showed Hood.

Five of the objects looked like flattened out Paris class Frigates, having the same shade of gunmetal grey that all UNSC ships do. They did look like something you would find alongside Halcyon class carriers. One vessel of the second group looked like a giant flat hammer mixed together with a submarine, having a almost cylindrical midsection with two large outriggers on the side of the main section and has an X shaped back end. It too has gunmetal grey coloring to. It's partner ship however looks like an combination of a wedge and an ax blade, having a large curved back end that tappers to a point by the bow, is has a very none human look and feel to it and the hull is also a much darker grey coloring. It looks advanced and also steampunk at the same time for some reason.

The final object however is an honest to goodness flying city, shaped like a snowflake and having many larger towers all covered by a large nearly transparent bubble of some kind. Hood can honestly say it is one of the most breathtaking an awe inspiring sights he has ever seen. It just screams technological superiority in a way nothing, not even a Covenant Supercarrier can achieve.

"Sir, Covenant forces are turning towards the unknown objects! They are targeting the unknowns and are charging weapons!" The aid cried.

Hood bowed his head, he didn't know who was on those ships, but they were dead. Another series of causalities in the senseless, bloody war.

However, that is when Hood bore witness to a miracle.

No less then fifty Covenant energy beams reached out and struck the unknowns, however instead of effortlessly punching through the hulls and causing their deaths, the unknowns all flared up as large ovular barriers briefly appeared and dissipated the energy effortlessly.

Hood was awestruck, ships smaller than almost anything in the UNSC arsenal took multiple energy projector blasts! Not even Covenant warships can boast such a thing.

And in response to the attack, the unknowns all turned towards the Covenant fleet and Hood's jaw dropped even lower as the unknowns unleashed a plethora of thin, blue beams that raced forth and struck the Covenant warships. The silver Covenant shields flared up, but only stood for a moment before the beams cut through the Covenant ships without any soft of difficulty. In a matter of seconds, no less then fifty Covenant warships of varying size and tonnage were nothing more then small floating space wreckage.

"Sir, we are receiving a transmission from the unknowns!" Another aid yelled out.

"Confirm that!" Hood barked out immediately.

"Confirmed sir! It's coming from the flying city!" The aid shouted.

Hood nodded and then said "Put it through. Maybe Earth has a chance."

The screen flickered and flared as the technician struggled to get the signal as strong as possible when the signal finally stabilized and all noise in the bunker ceased in an instant as the image of who was piloting those powerful warships appeared.

Humans. Honest to god human beings were flying around in warship with enough power to way last to dozens of Covenant warships in a matter of seconds.

There was a number of people working on strange consoles that seemed to have clear crystal touch pads, however one human stood out.

He had a pepper grey hair color, same as most UNSC Admirals, while wearing an old style uniform one could only find in a museum. However it was his eyes that stood out the most. He had the same fire and steel running in his eyes as any UNSC commander. This is no simply commander, he is a leader, same as Hood.

"Hey there." And those where the first two words right out of his mouth, causing nearly everyone next to him to face palm in dismay.

Getting over his shock at such a weird greeting, Hood said, "I am Lord Admiral Hood, Commander of all UNSC forces. To whom am I speaking with?"

"I am General Jack O'Neill, commander of all Tau'ri forces. Mind telling us what is going on? There appears to be a large alien fleet over your planet and they launched an attack against us so we want to know what is going on." Jack said.

Hood wasn't sure if the man was pretending to be dumb or if he was actually ignorant of what the Covenant are and the fact they are over Earth, but his eyes, they told Hood that O'Neill is not in fact lying.

"Those are the Covenant, a collection of alien races united under one banner who have been attacking and destroying human worlds and their populations for the past 28 years until only Earth is left. We are fighting to hold them off, but we can't hold much longer. However, you just showed you have the ability to take them down. I hereby ask for the Tau'ri to help defeat the Covenant." Hood said.

O'Neill was silent for a moment and said, "Give me a moment."

O'Neill walked out of view of Hood, but he could hear O'Neill speaking to several people for around a minute before he walked back into view and said, "The Tau'ri will aid the UNSC in the defense of Earth."

Cheers nearly broke out from the UNSC personal after hearing that the Tau'ri would aid them, however they kept their cheers to themselves and continued working. Even with the Tau'ri aiding them, there is still going to be a massive fight as the Covenant outnumber them by the hundreds.

"Thank you General O'Neill. The UNSC owes you." Hood said.

"Don't mention it. Earth is our home too and we won't let her fall. I'll be sending the Daedalus and the Apollo over to Antarctica, while the Odyssey and the General Hammond will keep things locked down here in orbit. The Destiny, Hail Mary and Atlantis will head to Africa to take on the main Covenant forces." O'Neill said.

Hood nodded and said, "We'll send as much back up as we can. Good luck."

O'Neill nodded and the screen went blank.

"Webs, get me the list of any available UNSC ships to back up the Tau'ri we're kicking the Covenant off of Earth!" Hood ordered, getting the command center back into gear once more.

Hood gave a soft smile as he watched Covenant signals disappearing quickly as the Tau'ri moved in. Earth will stand, no matter the cost.

With Atlantis...

"Sheppard, target any Covenant forces and get rid of them. However keep the Drones in reserve. Plasma Beams and Energy Burst Cannons seem effective enough at destroying them." O'Neill ordered as he watched the large city become engulfed in flames as she skimmed the outer atmosphere as she, the Destiny and the Hail Mary all moved towards the main Covenant forces.

"Understood sir. Be advised, the Hail Mary and the Destiny have fully recharged their shields and are ready to fight. Covenant weaponry seems to be advanced forms of Plasma cannons. Their main weapons seem to be a bit more powerful then Anubis's main beam weapon and they can fire it from a longer distance as well as recharge it faster. The are probably going to try and snipe us from a distance." Sheppard said as the data gathered from when the Covenant sent their beams of super heated plasma at the fleet was compiled and analysed by Atlantis's powerful computers.

"Understood. Still won't do anything to the shield right?" O'Neill asked, worried about the 600,000 civilians in stasis pods or data buffers on the city.

"No sir. Their weapons have no chance at taking down Atlantis's shields and the Destiny and Hail Mary will require significant concentrated firepower before their shields fall." Carter responded as she went through the data.

"That's good to hear. However, tell Caldwell and the rest of the fleet if their shields fall below 5% power, they are to execute emergency Hyperspace jumps and get away to Pluto so their shields can recharge." O'Nell ordered, not willing to lose a single ship or fighter.

"Understood. Message away. The fleet acknowledges." Chuck said.

O'Neill nodded as he stared at the tactical screen showing numerous Covenant warships approaching. They will be in firing range in ten seconds.

"Sir, I analysed the Covenant shields and I have found out their shields don't block Asgard Beaming. We can send over a Mk.15." Carter suggested.

The Mk.15 Nuclear warhead. A warhead with a Naquada core so destructive it can destroy all life on Earth three times over. There is no greater ballistic warhead in the Tau'ri arsenal. Designed and built to try and crack the hulls of Wraith Super-Hives. They failed to do so, yet their destructive power is an asset the Tau'ri would be fools to throw away.

"Beam a Mk.15 over. See if that will get them to back off." Jack said.

"Understood sir. Nuke away." Carter replied as the large nuclear bomb disappeared from Atlantis's nuclear missile hold and reappeared in the heart of the lead Covenant ship.

The bomb exploded a heartbeat later, creating a new sun that could be see for hundreds of miles away. The massive eruption of fire and nuclear energy tore apart the lead CSO-class Supercarrier a millisecond later and continued outwards, depleting the shields of the nearest Covenant warships in a matter of seconds and then melting their hulls into slag, causing them to erupt into short lived balls of fire. In the span of only a few moments, almost 100 Covenant warships were destroyed or badly damaged by a singular nuclear bomb.

The remaining Covenant ships were ill-prepared for when Atlantis, Hail Mary and Destiny came into weapons range.

Destiny unloaded with her upgraded capital class cannons, the large energy bolt based weaponry having undergone a massive amount of upgrades and repairs after her arrival at Othala. The cannons fired faster, hit harder, took less energy, overheated less quickly and could fire from a greater distance. After millions of years of no repairs, it is only logical that her weaponry suffer as a result.

The Hail Mary unleashed her own supply of Asgard Plasma Beams as well as Destiny style energy cannons, however her firepower vastly surpasses that of Destiny.

Atlantis herself also unleashed a plethora of Asgard Plasma Beams, as well as Destiny style energy cannons. Her firepower is the highest in the Tau'ri fleet and it showed as dozens of Asgard Beams and hundreds of energy bolts raced across the eternal void and struck the damaged Covenant warships.

Covenant hull plating disappeared in a series of massive explosions as the energy bolts melted into the hull and blew apart decks. The Covenant fleet tried to return fire but due to their chain of command being vaporized in that massive nuclear explosion, they didn't have any amount of cohesion anymore and thusly, the Covenant fleet was quickly blown apart ship by ship.

The few UNSC ships in the area were astonished and scared of that level of firepower. The Covenant were kicking their ass and now these new humans just came in and blew their entire fleet apart as if they were nothing more then toys. If the UNSC had to fight these new players, it would a slaughter even worse then the Covenant.

However, they put such thinking out of their heads and concentrated on making the Covenant pay for their actions. MAC rounds screamed across the void of space as they impacted and tore through unprotected Covenant ships with absolute ease. The UNSC ships were content on simply sniping the damaged and wounded Covenant ships from afar, enjoying the range advantage due to their weapons using ballistic weaponry and not plasma based weaponry like the Covenant use.

The Covenant soon found themselves being forced back as their forces were cut down swiftly, but before they could retreat another Mk.15 was detonated in the center of their formation once again, cutting their already dwindling forces to a mere handful of ships that were quickly destroyed.

And like that, in the course of twenty-five minutes, hundreds of Covenant warships lay shattered across the orbit of Africa.

For the UNSC, this was like a dream. For weeks the Covenant have been pounding away at Earth's defenses and for a while it looked like there was no hope. And yet, here were a few ships piloted by unknown humans ripping the Covenant a new one.

"Good job Sheppard. I just received word from the Daedalus class warships they also completed their mission. We drove the Covenant back and now Lord Hood wants to set up a meeting with us soon. Take Atlantis and move us towards these coordinates, that is where Hood is." Jack replied.

"Understood. Moving the ship." Sheppard replied as he effortlessly maneuvered the large city ship towards the ODP Hood was currently on.

Back with Hood...

Lord Hood was glad that the Covenant were driven from Earth and the Flood were destroyed as well after a series of orbital bombardments destroyed them, however it is a bittersweet victory. A large portion of Earth was attacked and glassed by the Covenant and Hood just learned all of Earth's other colonies were attacked in a massive, simultaneous attack that has left Earth all by herself. Right now, the human race numbers numbered just above the 1 billion mark.

He pushed those thoughts out of his head as he saw the light grey cylindrical looking alien drop ship flying into the hanger and gently lower itself the ground lighter then a feather kissing a lake. The small drive pods on the sides retracted inside the vehicle as it landed and the unique humming noise it created ceased.

The rear hatch of the vehicle opened up and four marines armed to the teeth came out of the ship, followed closely by General Jack O'Neill as well as a blonde haired woman in the same outfit.

Jack walked over and smiled as he stuck out his hand, "Lord Hood."

Hood took O'Neill's hand and gave it a firm shake as he said, "Welcome General O'Neill. On behalf of Earth and her people, you have my sincerest gratitude for kicking the Covenant out of Earth space."

O'Neill nodded and said, "Your welcome. Now, I know you have a few questions and so do we. We are completely willing to answer any question you have if you are willing to do so in return."

Hood nodded, and said, "That is a reasonable request. Please follow me to the briefing room."

The small group followed Lord Hood into the stations depths with two marines staying by the Puddle Jumper to ensure it's safety.

Hood led the group to a large room where a long rectangular table was in the middle.

Hood went and sat down on the right side with a few remaining UNSC Admirals flanking his sides while the SGC group took the other side.

"I think it best if we explained who we are, what we are doing here, etc." O'Neill said.

Hood motioned for him to continue on and Carter then said, "We are humans from another dimension, one where the year is 2016. We left our dimension because we had to flee from an alien enemy that overwhelmed us and subjugated two galaxies full of life."

That statement shocked all the UNSC personal. These humans were more powerful then the Covenant and yet they had to run from an enemy that forced them to flee to another dimension? That was almost too much to take in at once.

"Let me explain. In the year 1928, an expedition to Giza found an alien ring device that we call the Stargate. We didn't know it at the time, but the Stargate is a planetary transit system that allows for passage from one world to another instantaneously by use of a wormhole. Any gate can dial another gate if sufficient power is supplied, allowing a person on planet A to go to planet B instantly, even if planet B is in another galaxy." Carter continued onward.

That caused Hood to start brainstorming all the ways such a device could have helped them in the war with the Covenant. However, Carter interrupted his thoughts by continuing on.

"With the help of Dr. Jackson, in the year 1995 we managed to understand how to work a Stargate and launched an expedition to a planet called Abydos where we learned there were humans there already. Soon an alien ship came and laded on the pyramid and then captured the team. There they learned the alien in charge was a being called Ra, the inspiration for the myths and legends behind the Egyptian Ra. With help from the locals, the team transported a nuke onto Ra's ship and then killed Ra." Carter continued on.

The UNSC officials where now completely giving Carter all 110% of their attention, handing onto every single word she said.

"After that, the Stargate was deactivated and left alone, until 1997 when another alien by the name of Apophis attacked the facility and kidnapped several members. A mission was sent to retrieve them and we learned that there was a whole species of aliens hellbent on our enslavement by the name of the Goa'uld. The United States government then decided to fund the Stargate Program to get technology capable of defending Earth from the Goa'uld. What followed was eight years of combat as the SGC tried to keep Earth safe from the Goa'uld when another more powerful race called the Replicators wiped out many of the Goa'uld then we killed the Replicators with a device called the Dakara super weapon." Cater said.

"A year before that we launched an expedition to the Pegasus galaxy to find Atlantis, the city ship you saw outside. It is an important piece of technology created by the Ancients, the species that created the Stargate network. However, while in Pegasus we discovered a new hostile alien species called the Wraith and quickly found ourselves fighting them as well. A few years after that, we accidentally discovered another hostile alien species called the Ori and started fighting them as well. It took us four years to defeat the Ori. By the time 2009 rolled around, the Wraith were our only real threat and so we launched another expedition to find the legendary ninth chevron address. We were attacked by a group of pirates called the Lucian Alliance and because of them the planet we were working on exploded, but the expedition managed to complete the dialing." Carter continued.

"The wormhole lead to Destiny, an Ancient warship launched fifty million years to discover why there is a pattern in the cosmic radiation of the universe. They spent the next few years trying to get back home, however while they were doing that things were going horribly bad back on Earth. The Wraith found a cache of ancient technology that they then used to augment their warships to the point they are almost indestructible and then they launched an attack against out Earth. We fought with everything we had, however the Wraith nearly destroy our fleet and took Earth from us. We evacuated those we could and then fled to keep them alive. What followed was three years of defeat after defeat as the Wraith effortlessly crushed any and all forces that stood against them. We evacuated as many allies as we could and then fled to Pegasus, where we found the Wraith had wiped out almost all of our allies there and had only increased their hold on that galaxy. We gathered who we could and then fled to another galaxy, Othala, last bastion of hope and former home to the Asgard, our greatest ally." Carter said, the pain and hardships she and the others had faced coming back to her.

"We then built the Hail Mary specifically to tow Destiny to Othala and bring our people home, which she did. After that, we worked on creating a new power source to aid us in our ultimate goal: finding a home where the Wraith can never find us. It worked and then we constructed the Quantum Mirror, a device capable of sending whoever uses it across dimensions. We completed it and then used it today, however we then ended up above this Earth and well, the rest is history." Carter finished.

The UNSC was silent as the processed the massive amount of information given to them. These humans were from another dimension and more then five centuries in the past as well? Unbelievable, but considering how effortlessly they tore apart the Covenant forces there is some truth to their words.

"That is quite a tale. Ours is similar to yours in a way. Our first contact was with the Covenant in 2525, who attacked and then glassed our colony of Harvest. Their only transmission to us is this." Hood said as he reached forth and brought forth a holographic screen, which he clicked and a recording sounded off.

"Your destruction is the Will of the Gods. And we are their instrument." An alien voice hissed across the line, sending shivers through the SGC personal. That voice is just like the Wraith, Ori and Goa'uld, a voice filled with unfathomable hatred and anger.

"After that, we fought for more then 28 years against the Covenant, suffering horrible defeat after defeat and loosing hundreds of worlds that had their surface turned into glass." Hood continued as he showed the remains of numerous former human colonies which were glassed.

The SGC members were shocked and horrified, the only time they ever saw anything remotely similar was when an Ori mothership used it's main beam on a planet and even then, it didn't turn the entire planet into glass. The Covenant apparently had no such restrictions and seemingly did this hundreds of times.

"The only times humanity was victorious was on the ground. In space we were almost always outgunned and due to the Covenant having energy shields and energy weapons, they easily tore apart our space forces and then would simply blow our ground forces to hell. We fought back as best as we could, but the Covenant were too strong and today I just learned that Earth is the final planet in UNSC control, all others have been annihilated. We had a population of over 39 billion before this war, now we have in total 1 billion people left, including military and civilians." Hood finished with a sense of anguish.

The SGC personal were completely shocked into silence. Never have they heard of a conflict so devastating as the one they just heard about.

O'Neill then said, "Lord Hood, the Tau'ri hereby offer any and all aid that we can provide to the UNSC."

Hood smiled and said, "The UNSC happily accepts the aid of the Tau'ri. We are gonna need it."

"I think you might need to consider abandoning Earth. The Covenant are going to keep on coming and as strong as our ships are, they can't be everywhere at once. All it takes is for a few ships to slip past us and strike the civilian sectors to end humanity. There can be no victory here." Carter said.

Hood solemnly nodded and said, "I know. But what can we do? We can't evacuate 1 billion humans, we don't have the necessary vessels for that. I don't think your ships can hold that many people can they?"

"Atlantis herself can hold 700,000 people in her, a little bit more if we push it and the Daedalus class warships can hold around another 100 people and the Hail Mary and the Destiny can hold another 1,000 each of them. But that is pushing our life support to their limits and even if we do manage to evacuate all of them, where do we go? There are no more human colonies to take the civilians and the Covenant can amass for another strike against Earth any time now. We need a plan of action and we need it now." Carter said.

"Hey, what is that alien device in Africa sir?" One of the marines said.

"We have no idea. The Covenant extracted it by using a Slipspace portal, our method of FTL, above New Mombasa. Then they sent a few ships through." Hood said as he showed the Excession device being extracted and then being used.

"We have triangulated where the Slipspace portal leads to and it is beyond the edge of the milky Way galaxy." Hood said as the coordinates were revealed.

"Sir, we can have the Daedalus to these coordinates in a few minutes if she really pushes her engines." Carter said, stunning the UNSC. It would take them months to get to these coordinates and these people can reach it in minutes? Although considering what they have done today, perhaps it is not that astonishing.

O'Neill thought about it and then clicked his comm and said, "Caldwell, can you take the Daedalus to these coordinates at best possible speed? We need to know what is there."

"Of course sir. We can be there in ten minutes." Caldwell replied.

"Understood. Head there at best possible speed and then report back to us. O'Neill out." O'Neill said before he clicked his comm off.

"Alright, we have ten minutes to wait until the Daedalus can tell us what is there. Perhaps discussing technology trade?" O'Neill asked as the two groups began to work together.

Meanwhile...

Caldwell turned to Colonel Marks and said, "Activate hyperdrive, head for these coordinates, maximum speed."

Marks nodded and said, "Aye sir."

With quick speed, he punched in the coordinates and the sleek form of the Daedalus maneuvered away from Earth and then jumped into hyperspace.

The ever familiar sight of the blue lines of hyperspace served to calm Caldwell down. This is a sight that never gets old.

Ten minutes flashed by quickly and soon the Daedalus dropped out of hyperspace to an unforgettable sight.

A massive construction that has a hollowed out center with what looks like a large asteroid in the center while eight large arms are coming from the sides and curving inwards. There is clouds and seas on the construction, a sight beyond anything the Tau'ri have ever seen.

"Sir, I am detecting gravity, weather patterns, it is incredible." Mark said, just before then added, "I am also detecting a large number of these "Flood" forms sir." Mark said.

"Locate them and mark them for termination at a later date." Caldwell said.

"Sir, I think I have found the main control for the Ark. It requires a special gene to work though, kind of like Ancient tech." Marks said.

"We can worry about that later. Right now we need to get this information back to Earth." Caldwell said as he activated the long-range transmission system and sent the transmission back to Earth.

Back on Earth...

O'Neill was actually having a nice time talking to Lord Hood. The man was straight forward, easy to talk with and a good commander.

Just then, the Daedalus contacted O'Neill, who answered it.

A screen of Caldwell appeared who said, "Sir. We have found what the portal leads to. You need to see it for yourself."

An image of the Ark was shown, shocking everyone who saw it.

"This construction is immense, being around 127,530 kilometers in diameter. It's insane. It also has a Flood outbreak and so we have highlighted all Flood forms so we can destroy them at a later date. The construction has an atmosphere and appears to be safe for humans to board and use." Caldwell said.

O'Neill then had a brilliant idea and said, "Hood, we know the Covenant are going to come back for Earth. However, we can make the jump to this construction in minutes. We can evacuate Earth to this place and have all UNSC forces go there as well. It is so far from the Milky Way galaxy that the Covenant are not going to find it. While there, we can use this place as a base while we reconstruct the Quantum Mirror and then head to another universe, one where there is no Covenant, Flood, Wraith, or Ori. A chance for both of out people to start over."

Hood was shocked at the proposal of such an idea, but the more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea. A place where there is no Covenant is an appealing idea and more then that, the construction will provide a good place to help support their people as their rebuild their civilization. And also taking this construction from the Covenant would be a giant middle finger to those bastard aliens and that is something Hood will always love to do.

"That is actually not a bad idea. Normally it would be impossible to evacuate Earth, but with your ships you can ferry people to the construction in only ten minutes, we can evacuate Earth very quickly" Hood said, actually giving the idea some considerable thought.

"It will take roughly around 1,500 trips if we fill Atlantis and all of our other ships with people. Our life support can handle that strain for ten minutes as we make the journey back and forth. In all, it will take around ten days of non-stop travel, but more realistically it will take probably over two weeks of hard work to evacuate Earth." Carter added.

"I think we have a plan. Go to the construction, get all of our civilians offloaded them onto that thing, then come back and get as many people onto Atlantis as we possibly can and take them to the construction. Rinse and repeat until we are all done and then get all the UNSC warships and tow them there. After that, we can head around and help evacuate any straggles from the UNSC and get them there while the Quantum Mirror is being rebuilt big enough for that whole thing to go through. That sound about right?" O'Neill asked.

The UNSC officials all talked amongst each other for a few seconds before they all nodded and then Hood said, "Well then we are in agreement. Get your people transported there while we get our own people ready for evacuation."

O'Neill nodded and then he and the other members of the Tau'ri delegation left the ODP and headed back to Atlantis.

Once on Atlantis, the Tau'ri fleet then all went into hyperspace and flew towards the unknown construction intent on claim a new future for themselves.

Time skip...

The date is now December 11, 2552 and much has changed since the Battle for Earth. All of Earth's population was relocated to the unknown alien construction, which has been identified as the Ark.

The Ark has been discovered to be a massive control module for the Halo Array, giant rings which fire off a pulse of energy that kills all sentient life in a galaxy. After learning this, O'Neill ordered all rings to be found and brought back to the Ark where they can be deactivated after being cleansed of all Flood forms.

It took a few days, but after capturing a number of Flood forms, the Tau'i were able to find and create a method that destroys the Flood Super-Cells by using the Dakara Super Weapon as a basis. Using the Ark's advanced construction methods, the Tau'ri outfitted their ships with the anti-Flood weapons and then went purging the parasite where ever it existed.

Using the Ark, the remaining rings have been found and brought back to the Ark where the massive amount of drones and newly installed Asgard energy beams have taken the insane amount of raw material that make up the Halo rings and stored them away for future use.

The Ark has also been found to the greatest collection of Forerunner technology in the universe, basically being a much larger Asgard Core. All examples of Forerunner technology can either be physically found on this massive installation or the technological schematics can be found somewhere in the large database.

During this time period, the Tau'ri were headed back to the Ark after finding a few hundred more civilians on a few old UNSC planets. However, on their way they encountered a UNSC ship called the Spirit of Fire. The Tau'ri then towed the ship back to the Ark where the discovered there was a small Flood outbreak on-board. Using their anti-Flood weapon, the ship was cleansed quickly. The crew of the Spirit of Fire were told of what happened since they went into cryo and they were all shocked, but quickly adapted to the ever changing reality they found themselves in.

Dr. Halsey also discovered that ONI had managed to clone all the Spartan's that died during the war and then tried to brainwash them into their personal attack dogs. Needless to say Hood was livid and quickly did a massive house cleaning operation that got ONI back under control.

The Tau'ri were a little bit unsettled by the Spartans and the reason why they were created, but they could see where the UNSC was coming from and so decided to help. The cloned Spartans were not well in the head and were not going to live long, so by using Asgard and Ancient technologies, as well as a few Forerunner technologies, they re-cloned the deceased Spartans and this time did them properly, allowing them to live full lives with no ill effects as well as keeping their augmentations.

Technology for the UNSC advanced by leaps and bounds as all their ships managed to get at least rudimentary shields by this point as they awaited for the Forward Unto Dawn to arrive. Once in their new reality, full availability to the technologies of the Tau'ri would be allowed as until this point they mainly focused on getting agriculture facilities up and running to fed the large amount of civilians on the Ark.

Caldwell walked onto the bridge of the Daedalus as his crew worked hard.

"Sir! Slipspace ruptures detected!" Marks shouted.

"Look alive people, this is most likely the Prophet of Truth's fleet. Alert all forces and activate all weapons. We have to hold the line until reinforcements arrive." Caldwell ordered.

"Sir, all friendly forces will be here in a few seconds, they are doing small hyperspace jumps to get here." Marks told him.

"Good. Prep all Mk.15's for deployment, as well as getting all Plasma beam weapons armed as well. The moment they arrive, I want us opening fire." Caldwell replied as his ship prepared herself for combat as all around them multiple hyperspace portals opened up, allowing UNSC and Tau'ri ships to come through.

Just as the allied fleet arrived, a massive amount of Covenant ships came out of Slipspace.

The moment the Covenant ships exited Slipspace, the Tau'ri and UNSC ships opened fire. Plasma beams mixed with MAC rounds as they all streaked forth and struck the Covenant ships unprepared, destroying many of them before they had a chance to even know what was going on. And those that remained fared little better as they were caught off guard and found themselves heavily outnumbered.

The Forward Unto Dawn exited Slipspace as well and was confused when they found the remains of many Covenant warships as well as a number of UNSC ships being here mixed with unknowns all firing at the Prophet of Truth's fleet.

"Evasive action! Find us a safe spot and try to get in contact with those UNSC ships!" Miranda Keyes yelled.

"This is Captain Cutter of the UNSC Spirit of Fire contacting UNSC Forward Unto Dawn. Head to these coordinates, we will provide covering fire." Cutter said over the radio.

"You heard him, move this ship out of the way!" Miranda ordered as the small Charon frigate pushed her engines to the limit to get out of the danger zone.

The Prophet of Truth on-board his Forerunner Dreadnought was furious and yelled out, "All weapons open fire!"

However the Dreadnought remained silent as the many remnants of Mendicant Bias that were either found on the Ark or scattered around the Milky Way galaxy effortlessly took control of the Keyship and moved her away from the Covenant forces while also making sure her weapons are powered down.

After thirty minutes of heavy combat, the Covenant forces were finally destroyed at last with only the Keyship remaining.

"Sir, High Command has Hail Mary approaching the Keyship. She is going to beam the Covenant forces off of the Keyship and into her holding cells while also beaming in a crew. Our orders are to return to patrolling the border of the Ark and making sure nothing else comes in." Mark said to Caldwell.

"Understood. Move us out Marks." Caldwell said as he watched the Hail Mary move towards the Keyship.

With the Forward Unto Dawn...

Master Chief Petty Officer Sierra-117 watched on as the Keyship moved towards the Ark. The Keyship had been taken control off without any issues and the original crew was no longer an issue.

John was completely confused as to what happened in the single month he and the others had been gone for. He had no idea what was going on anymore.

The Arbiter had left the ship earlier, sent to one of the Separatist CSO-class Supercarriers that had just arrived a few minutes ago. He had taken the Covenant forces captured in the battle and moved them to the Supercarrier. They were to be publicly executed for their crimes at a later date, a just punishment.

Just then he heard his AI companion Cortana say, "The Dawn just docked with the Ark. We are supposed to head to this location where we will be given our new orders."

John said nothing and then made his way to the location he was given. Along the way, he saw many people stop and stare at him in wonder. Something he has grown used to seeing as many people haven't ever seen a Spartan in the flesh ever and considering how famous he is, it is only logical he would be getting a large amount of attention.

He quickly arrived at a large door where two guards stood. The guards saw him and quickly opened the door for the Chief.

Once inside, John was shocked by what he saw.

Spartans. Everywhere. Easily at least a thousand men and woman encased in MJOLNIR armor were on treadmills running, getting checked over by technicians and doctors or customizing their MJOLNIR armors.

John then saw several familiar faces walking towards him. Jorge-052, Jerome-092, Kelly-087, Linda-058, Fred-104, Daisy-023 and Cal-141.

John couldn't believe his eyes. Daisy and Cal were both confirmed KIA early in the war and Jerome was MIA after the Spirit of Fire went missing. So how in the world are they here before him?

The group of Spartan-II's all walked over to John with their helmets underneath their arms and Fred said, "Good to see you John."

John took off his helmet and said, "Good to see you all to. I am a bit confused though."

"And everything will be explained to you." A familiar voice said behind John.

John turned around and saw Dr, Halsey, the closest thing he has to a mother standing right behind him with a smile. However, she looked much younger then she should. Halsey was supposed to be at least sixty years, but she looked not a day above 25. Her hair was short and black once more and beyond that, she had no wrinkles or signs of advanced age. However, it was most definitely Halsey as she has that same look in her blue eyes.

"Dr. Halsey" John said with respect.

"Hello John. Good to see you again. Now I am sure you have questions. I will answer the most prominent ones." Halsey then said, gesturing to the massive amount of Spartans.

"ONI took DNA samples of everything single Spartan that has ever entered service and was attempting to clone a Spartan army under their control. However, I discovered their plans and then Hood took ONI down and rebuilt ONI back up underneath UNSC control. The Spartans they attempted to clone were then brought to our allies who then perfected the cloning procedure and allowed all Spartans who died while in service to the UNSC to be brought back with all their memories intact. I of course aided them in their efforts." Halsey said.

John was shocked beyond belief. All Spartans were back? Including Sam and the others? Considering Daisy and Cal were both standing next to him, it must be true. How advanced were these allies that they managed to being Spartans back as clones in only a months time?

"The Spartans who were brought back have not been cleared for active combat duties just yet. They have to retrain their bodies back to their original condition, so it will be a few months before they can be put back into service, but considering the fact the war with the Covenant has ended, the need for Spartans have decreased." Halsey further said.

John nodded. If there was no fight, then the Spartans could take their time and get back into fighting condition.

"The reason we asked you to come here is because Hood has a surprise for you." Halsey said, a sly smirk on her face.

"Ma'am?" John asked.

"Just be patient John. I am sure you will be surprised." Halsey said as she motioned for John to follow.

John followed Halsey as she led the way to a section at the far end of the hall where a large room awaited them and once there, John nearly stopped in shock of who was waiting for them.

A younger Admiral Hood was there, looking around the same age as Halsey while a younger Captain Cutter was also there as well. But it is the third figure that really shook John to his core.

Captain Jacob Keyes, former Captain of the Pillar of Autumn. The man who died on the first Halo ring found by the UNSC. John couldn't believe his eyes. However, Cal and Daisy were both brought back, so seeing Captain Keyes alive and well is not that big of a shock.

Keyes also looked younger as well, having no wrinkles on his face as well. Something was going on. However, as a soldier John-117 did not let himself get distracted and so quickly saluted the senior officers and said, "Sirs."

"At ease Master Chief." Lord Hood said with a smile as he turned his attention to the Master Chief.

John lower his arm and stood at attention as Hood said, "Good work on Delta Halo Spartan. Also good work on Earth. You did good son."

John nodded and Hood then said, "As the war is now over, the UNSC is going to be rebuilding herself. And the need for good soldiers is only going to increase. Due to your exemplary efforts on both Halo rings, I and the other members of High Command want you to lead our newly created Spartan Corp."

John was stunned by Hood's request, but he quickly got over his shock and began to think out what this new position would entitle and what his responsibilities would be.

After a little bit Chief nodded and said, "I accept sir."

Hood smiled and said, "Good. Now come along Chief. We have a lot to go over."

Hood then started walking and so Chief went to follow him. Seeing all of his brothers and sisters with him once more, made John feel better, a little more hopeful for the future.

Time skip...

It has been six months since the SGC and the UNSC met and finally, the new Quantum Mirror is ready to be used.

The Separatist fraction of the Covenant have finally prevailed against the Loyalists with the aid of the Tau'ri. Currently the Covenant has been rebuilt from the ground up with the former members of the Covenant coming together as a true union so that they might face the challenges of the universe as a singular front.

The humans still wish to leave this reality however. They don't want to be anywhere near the Covenant and just want to live their lives so the Quantum Mirror was continued.

Currently all warships are docked to the Ark and everyone is currently ready for transport to the new reality.

Lord Hood stood stoically next to General O'Neill as the final preparations were completed. This was it. No turning back.

"Ready?" O'Neill asked.

Hood nodded and O'Neill then said, "Activate the Quantum Mirror."

Once more, countless amounts of energy was sent flooding into Quantum Mirror, causing the device to activate as a clear portal was created.

A probe was sent through and once the portal was shown to be safe, the massive bulk of the Ark was slowly swallowed up as the Quantum Mirror used her engines and soon passed over the large form of the Ark.

Within seconds, the large installation was gone and a few seconds after the Ark vanished, the Quantum Mirror exploded, destroying the last method of finding the Ark once more.

The Ark and the last remnants of two different versions of humanity vanished and were sent to a new world beyond their imagination.

And thus we are finished with the first chapter.

I think this is going to be a cool story. I hope you all enjoy this.
