AN:Alright, in honor of SEASON 2 OF KONOSUBA APPEARING(FUCK YES) I'm making my own story based on it... With a twist.

A NOBLE TWIST!

Unknown location...

The Spartan had seen death with his own two eyes. Left on Reach, to die by the hand of Elites. Absolute fucking bullshit. He'd seen the aliens coming, he should've been able to take them on. His wounds should not have mattered as they did. Ah, fuck it for now. He'd had worse to deal with. Like seeing darkness in front of his e-... He could still see his god damned Heads-Up Display. Shields were online... Wait, he'd dropped his helmet, which was cracked, when he got fracking killed. How did this work? He slowly panned his head down, to the sight of a bright light ahead of him. He blinked twice, clearing up the massive blob of light into a white chair and a table beside it.

On the chair, a young woman, with aquamarine hair and eyes stood, laying her head onto her right arm for support and smiling as she straightened up, extending her arms "Ah, great warrior. You've awoken... Welcome to the Afterlife." She said, smiling. Six could only tell this was some bullshit joke... He couldn't actually be dead, right? Jorge must've spiked his food or something back at base. None of them were dead, were they? Sigh... He'd play along for now.

He gulped, then asked "You are?" Quick and concise. The woman smiled, nodded and said "I am the Goddess of Water, Aqua, that which deals with guiding young deaths such as yourself to the paths of good life... You've lived through such a long war and your sacrifice wasn't in vain. Your kin are on the brink of winning this war... But your fight is over, young Spartan."

First thing ONI Taught him in his days being a-fucking-lone, 'don't trust a woman'. Especially not those who behave like goddesses and those who do call themselves. Six sighed, checking his gear via his HUD. Surprising... His guns were all on him. The Shotgun, DMR and AR strapped to his back, two M6 Pistols strapped to his thighs and his Covenant-recovered weapons safely stowed within his backpack, including the 12 Plasma Grenades and his Energy Sword. Perfect. At the very least, if this place was some experiment site, he could cleanly and easily fight his fuckin' way out. The Spartan remained silent, even at the woman's praise.

"Ah, yes..." She sighed "I remember this from your Commander's memories as well... Quiet in the face of that which you do not know." Aqua then smiled at him warmly and said "Yeah, don't worry about it. I can get how this may seem a bit confusing, but I'm tellin' ya the truth. At least you didn't die a stupid death like a lot of your team-mates... You somehow died in a 'Final Stand'-ish way." quite jovially

That was a fast change of speech. The hell was wrong with this girl?! Just keep quiet. She might wind up letting you die in peace for a change. The Spartan crossed his arms, eyeing the woman and basically glaring daggers from behind his helmet, though she couldn't see him. She sighed, slumping her hands down beside her and walked in front of him, then murmured "Not very talkative, are you?"

The Spartan shook his head. He watched the girl closely as she moved about and examined every detail of his armor and uniform. She stopped in front of him, nodded and said "Alright... I think I understand... I should probably just give ya the two choices, might as well get you out of my hair." adding a smirk. "So, you can either go to Heaven, which, by the way, isn't what all you mortals think it is..." She grinned, seeing the Spartan twitch "Ah... No Atheists in a Foxhole seems to work here. Anyway... Heaven is really, REALLY boring. No internet, no phones, no guns..." She closed in beside his right ear with a devious grin "And no body... That means nothing Se-"

The Spartan interrupted her by slightly zapping her with his shield, before she could finish. The girl backed away, partially electrified, growled, then said "Fine... Or you can reincarnate as a new person, or alien, in a new world." Walking back to her chair. She took a seat, then said "Of course," and she eyed the Spartan with her grin returning "There's also the tertiary option... A bit more uncommon for me to do this, since it's the law of Gods and all, but... I think an exception this time around may cut it."

The Spartan crossed his arms. He wanted to believe this was still some kind of ONI Psych Warfare joke, a test to see if it worked on Spartans... But, with the way things were shaping up, hell, he'd take it all. He nodded and showed her to go on, waiting to see where this shit would go. She smirked, nodded and said "Well, you can 'respawn' shall we say, in an alternate universe, where the world needs capable fighters to defeat the Devil King, an evil threatening their homes..." She awkwardly laughed and said "The thing is, nobody wants to reincarnate there, so the population's declining fast."

The Spartan nodded, lowering his arms by his waist, to which the girl smiled "Finally, an agreement. So, let me tell you the basics for going to this world... You get to pick one extra item or weapon to go to that world, aside from..." She paused, examining the Spartan's MJOLNIR armor and weaponry from head to toe "Those... One special power from some video game you played, or that one weapon or person you want around you, to still be alive and help you fight."

The Spartan was taken aback by that last part... While fighting a Demon King and his little force of evil felt like an old RPG he heard about... Any thing or any one he wished for to be alive... To be beside him... Could he... Could he revive the NOBLE Team? Get them to help him? No... No, he needed to let'em rest... And the girl felt like she was bluffing... He wanted to make sure as he thought about it for a few minutes, all whilst the girl had returned to her seat. He sighed, shaking his head as he decided it had to be that, to test out the theory... So he moved his right hand, clenched it, minus the index and pointed at...

Her...

She gasped, jumping off her seat, her expression full of clear shock. She looked at him, then asked "Me?! Why-why not pick one of your dead team-mates, for crying out loud! Even the other antisocials in your so-called Spartan-III Project would be better of-" She cut herself off and gasped as a glyph of sorts appeared below her. A blue formation of light that took the shape of a pyramid, within four concentric circles, with symbols between each circle. The Spartan saw a similar thing below him, actually the same darn lot. He sighed, then grinned behind his helmet as he saw the girl banging against a hardlight wall and crying.

"That oughta teach you to make fun of my team-mates and me, bitch." He thought. A second blaring light emerged beside him and the Spartan cocked his head up and around, to see what looked like an angel descending from the sky. "Your wish has been heard by the gods, oh brave warrior of the Earth-realm." She said in an angelic voice, looking at him. She then swiveled around to the protesting and crying Goddess, Aqua, as she tried to fight against it and, with a somewhat more squeaky voice, said "Don't worry, Aqua-sensei! I'll take care of things here until your return!"

The town of Starting Adventurers...

A horse-drawn cart moved ahead of them as the Spartan shouldered his Assault Rifle and kept it low, safety off, and he glanced toward Aqua, who was trembling, both angry and in shock. The woman turned toward him, clenched her hands and tried to grab his throat, before the Spartan placed a hand on her forehead, keeping her away as she claws at him... Of course, she was below him in height, quite literally. She growled and yelled "LET ME GO! This is all your god damned fault!" As she struggled to get out of his grip. She started sobbing and said "This is worse than the time I had to deal with Bayonetta..."

The Spartan let her go, then looked about the place. It was an odd medieval setting, with even the houses resembling 16th century buildings. The place here, this Starting Town as he would come to call it, seemed pretty big, so he could tell from just looking over the land ahead. He sighed, looked to the self-excused girl and yanked her by the collar, then said "You'll help me beat this 'Devil King', if you wanna get home..." before pushing her ahead of him.

"Fine..." The girl groaned as she stomped ahead of him. She showed him to follow, then said "There should be an Adventurers' guild nearby. We sign up there, otherwise we can't do anything."

"Need a permit to hunt oddities here... Hmph." The Spartan thought to himself, nodding to her. He slid his rifle on his back and followed the girl up to a building. It was a big place, resembling of a cafeteria and hotel, so it should've been the Guild's bar. The two walked through the door, to the sight of people eating and drinking together, dozens of them. So the place was chock-full of actual adventurers... The Spartan's gaze swept the room as a few tossed sideways glances toward them. He looked right back at them, his empty visor staring at them instead of his face. They immediately turned away... He sighed, then looked to see Aqua beside him and, just ahead of them, up a short flight of stairs, a sign-up counter occupied by a young, blonde woman.

The Spartan nodded to Aqua, then waved her forward as he walked with her. She nodded, looking pretty determined, then walked toward the woman behind the counter. She smiled, then nodded to them and said "Well... From the looks of you two, I'd say you're preparing to start a job in adventuring?"

Aqua nodded and smiled "Yes, indeed!"

"Well... Uhh, there's a fine." The girl said, smiling weakly as a droplet of sweat fell down the side of her forehead, her eyes focused on the Spartan. He crossed his arms and the girl felt a chill shoot up her spine. She shrugged it off and said "Err, well forget that! Come, come!" She waved them forward as she moved behind the counter. Aqua looked to Six, then asked "What did you just do?" to which the man shrugged nonchalantly and walked up to the counter, where the woman had placed a sort of globe or orb, in a golden cradle with silver inlay.

"Just place your hand on here and we can set up your Adventurer's cards." The woman said, smiling. Six nodded, then placed his hand on top of the orb of the globe-like item, which began to spin and shine a bright blue hue. The woman placed an empty piece of old paper below it and the globe started inscribing data on it. The Spartan exhaled and removed his hand as the device powered down. The counter girl grabbed the card and gasped "Oh my God... Your skills are... All maxed. Intelligence, strength, agility... Incredible."

The man nodded as she handed him his card, which he slid in one of his rigs' pockets, then walked away and leaned against a wall, awaiting for Aqua to take her own. She smiled, then nodded to him and said "Wow. Pretty cool."

Truly, this little 'Goddess' was weird, the way she just switched herself around from 'crybaby bitch' to 'somewhat pleasant' just adding to that. Hopefully she'd be useful for defeating this Devil King or whatever... The man nonchalantly nodded back, then watched her step up to the ball and place her hand. IT spun again, wrote the data on the card and stopped. The girl walked toward him with a smile, then said "I'm similar to you, it seems. At everything but Luck and Intelligence."

The Spartan chuckled mockingly, to which she crossed her arms and growled. He sighed, then nodded and waved her toward a board that had a dozen papers, with writing in Black and Red. A 'Quest Board'... The man sighed, then looked to the Blonde stop them. She raised her hand, weakly, then said "Uhm... You two still have to pick classes... You know that, right?"

"Oh..." Six sighed, his arms slumped. The girl nodded and sighed deeply, relieved that the Spartan didn't actually hurt her for... Intervening, then said "Well... There are 10 classes you could pick from, but some of them aren't combat-oriented... I have a few recommendations for both of you."

"Sure." Aqua smiled. "Go ahead."

"Alright... Well, for you, miss Aqua, I'd say an Arch Priest class would be befitting, since your Magicka skill is the highest of them all." The woman nodded, then she looked to Six and stuttered "A-As for you, my good, heavily armored, giant, sir..." She struggled to swallow "I'd recommend either the Starter Class, Adventurer, or the Tank/Combat class, Crusader. Adventurer, as a pro, allows you to learn any and all skills from all classes if you put your time into it, so..."

"I'll take Adventurer." The man answered, nodding to the girl. "Thank you very much, miss."

The woman sighed, then slumped her arms around her body, smiled and nodded. "My pleasure, good sir." She said, then left with that. The Spartan checked his card, on which some cryptic letters shined bright-orange, like a fire. His class had been set, as far as he understood, and so had Aqua's. Good. He nodded to Aqua and pointed to the board, then saw the girl's surprised gaze. He shrugged, before the girl said "How'd you... You spoke politely."

"So?" The man asked, looking at the quest board. He picked out the simplest one, due to knowing that the girl beside him probably wasn't the most fit for the early hard work. She may've been a goddess and all, but no risking it here... If she turned out useless in a fight, he'd have to save her ass.

So of course, he picked up a construction job, to help around here...

For a couple of months, the two helped the other adventurers build several rooms, sheds and other such items, meanwhile talking with the lot, drinking and eating together. The Spartan even found himself having to comfort a vomitting Aqua after she drank too much beer one night. This chain continued for the months, before winter came and the Spartan realized how little money they had, looking at his coin pouch in his Chest Rig. The two had, of course, gotten accommodations within a stable nearby. The Spartan sighed as he checked their money situation, feeling fairly annoyed that they also had nothing to fight against.

"Nothing good comes out of just building things..." He looked to Aqua. "We need to take a kill quest if we want to feed you."

"Me?" The girl asked, cocking an eyebrow up in surprise.

"Yes... I can withstand life without food for a month. Without water for two weeks. You, on the other hand... Even thought you're supposed to be some kind of 'Goddess'..." The Spartan mocked, making the air quotes "Can't live in your human form without food and water. I'll take a Kill Quest tomorrow and get some work done. IF we want to get the hell out of this world before I grow old and die, that is." Six stood up, then walked toward his cot in the shed and sat down again, M6G Magnum in hand.

"O... Oh-kay, but you know we're going together to the Kill Quest, right?" The girl said, crossing her arms and pouting. "The Goddess thing was uncalled for, BTW."

Six ignored that, then said "Go to sleep." and settled down, making himself comfortable. He leaned his head back against the wall, then heard a ding from his waist... The Spartan swallowed, straightened up, then looked behind him and removed an item from his belt. A small canister, with a blue shine from the glass inside... A chip. This was the Package... His heart jumped at the realization, then he gasped.

Aqua turned around, bothered by the light, and looked to the canister, then smiled. "Ah... Finally discovered that little copy of the Package I made for you... Yes, it's a copy, not the real deal."

"Why did you make this?" The Spartan deadpanned, then he exhaled. "I nearly had a heart attack. I thought I had forgot to drop this off to the Autumn."

"A little reminder of home... One that doesn't cause even you to go into deep thought. Or Depression." She smirked, then she turned away and went to sleep, bidding Six "Good night, Six!"

The Spartan examined it, surprised. He got a bit touched by this, true to that... Something non-depressing to remember his world by... He sighed, then looked to the girl and smiled...

In before he started hearing her snore. He sighed, planted a palm on his visor, then muttered to himself "You may be a Goddess... But you're also the most human girl I've ever seen..." And chuckled, before opening the capsule. He grabbed the chip and slotted it into the back of his helmet. An eerie blue mist surrounded his head and he heard a deep sigh of a female voice. She chuckled, then said "Well, this is intriguing... This is how a MJOLNIR Suit feels..." And she gasped, upon hearing a confused noise from Six "Oh, hello. You must be Noble Six... I'm Cortana, a Smart AI... I'm guessing we're gonna be working together?"

Six sighed deeply, then said "Yes, I guess so..." In a whisper.

Great... An AI of all things...

Why Him?
