On the battlefield,

The military pledges to leave no soldier behind.

As a nation,

Let it be our pledge that when they return home,

We leave no veteran behind.

In the Navy ship: Say My Name

BGM: The Rookie [In The Ship] – Halo 3: ODST

Inside was the three ODSTs grouped around a holo-table which shows the Covenant Prophet of Regret's CAS-class Assault Carrier hovering near the city's Orbital Elevator at New Mombasa. The three ODSTs named Taylor 'Dutch' Miles, Kojo 'Romeo' Agu and Michael 'Mickey' Crespo as for the other ODST named Rookie was sleeping inside his pod.

"The Navy put up a good fight" Mickey commented.

"Course they did. It's Earth" Dutch responded.

"Better late than never" Romeo jokingly said.

"How about you show some respect, Romeo?" Dutch criticized him.

"Just saying Dutch, they missed one" Romeo complained.

"No. They left it for us" Dutch stated and they heard the sirens, looking at the door, seeing their Leader, Edward Buck with an attractive ONI operative named Veronica Dare.

"You heard the music. Time to dance" Buck stated.

"Hello, beautiful…" Romeo tensed.

"Pods. Now" He ordered the team as they walked to their pods then he was was stopped by Dare.

"Replacements?" She asked.

"This many years into the war? Who isn't." He answered.

"At least they listen" She stated.

"To me. And they're not gonna like what they hear"

"Orders are orders"

"Come on, Veronica! What could be more important than that carrier?"

"My orders. And Buck? Called me captian" Dare ordered.

"I'll pass on that dance. But you can show me where to sit…" And she walked away.


With the other ODSTs

"What the hell kind of armor was she wearing?" Mickey complained.

"Dunno, Mickey. I wasn't looking at her gear" Romeo playfully punch Mickey then looked at Dutch.

"Pft! Seriously?" He said as Dutch was holding a M7S Submachine Gun.

"Well gonna be close-quarters" And Romeo grabbed a shotgun. "Exactly…"

Then three ODSTs saw Buck and Dare walking to their pods.

"Second to last. Right next to mine" Buck guides her.

"Cozy~" Romeo muttered as Buck walks towards him.

"You gonna tell us her name, Gunny?" He asked but Buck took away the shotgun from him.

"Ms. Naval Intelligence. Our new boss"

"Oh, brother…" Mickey muttered.

"So check your mouths, find your chairs…and get SET for a combat drop!" And Buck walked away.

"What the hell am I supposed to do with this inside a Covenant ship?" Romeo complained about Buck giving him a SRS99-S2 AM sniper rifle as he walks over to Rookie and hits him with the sniper rifle, waking him up.

"Wake up, buttercup" Romeo tensed then Dutch pushed him away.

"Relax Rookie. He don't mean nothing" And hands him a M7S. "Besides. Now's one of those times? Pays to be the strong, silent type"

He grabbed the M7S and puts it to his weapon rack and a few seconds later, the pod door closes, two screens pop out, revealing Buck and Dare wearing their helmets.

"Latest intel reports Covenant troops are massing beneath the carrier" Said Dare.

"They're pulling-back? Why?" Buck asked.

"We're not going to find out way up here"

BGM: The Rookie [Dropping]

"TROOPERS! We are green and very, VERY MEAN!" And the drop pods started to descend, Rookie's pod drops into Earth, viewing the battle as he saw a Frigate cut in half completely.

"I take it back... Navy got its butt kicked"

"Hey Romeo. Remember when I told you to shut your mouth?" Buck reminded him.

"Yeah?"

"Consider that a standing order…" Buck ordered him to shut up as the pods descend into the Earth's atmosphere.

"Captain? Fifteen klicks off the deck" Buck said as they descend into New Mombasa where the covenant ship is, next to the space elevator.

"Standby to adjust trajectory. On my mark" The Squad expect for Buck and Dare were confused about what she meant by that.

"What did she just say?" Dutch asked.

"Mark!" And the team's pods changed their landing to the covenant ship to somewhere else.

"We're way off course!" Mickey complained.

"We're heading exactly where I need to go!"

"But we're gonna miss the carrier!" Then the Covenant ship activate something as the ship has blue electricity over its surface.

"Radiation!" Dutch shouted detected something strange about the ship.

"Covenant just set off a nuke?!"

"No. The carrier's going to jump!" Said Dare as they watched the ship entering slip-space, opening a portal.

"It's a slip-space rupture! You need to—" Then the ship went in the portal, leaving a huge explosion that is heading towards the team.

"EMP! Losing power!" The explosion went closer to the squad and pulled out the chutes.

"STABILIZE then pop your chutes! We're going in HARD!" Buck ordered as a pod hits Rookie's pod, losing control of his pod, he holds on as his pod spins around, the explosion went closer and closer… till… it all went black…

In an unknown city…

BGM: Promonition of Battle - Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2

"Huh?" A Young girl was carrying shopping bags till she looked at the sky and saw a bright light, falling from the sky and crash into a forest.

Her eyes widen. "I gotta tell Iffy about this!" She ran towards a futurist tower and went inside.


Somewhere else in a middle of a city…

"What the hell was that?" A female with an odd white-purple skin and wearing a big, opened gray jacket with a mouse eared hood and saw a bright light felled from the sky and crashed somewhere.

"I don't know. Should we check it out, chu?" A gray mouse asked, he has a red and yellow broken heart marking, rat-like tail with a big black heart on the end and a zig-zag split in the center and demon wings on his back.

"We'll check it out next time. Right now, our boss sent us to find and destroy those 'mascots' each in their nations" She reminded.

"Alright, chu" And the two walked into the shadows.
