Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original Halo ideas. The extra parts are all mine. This will have some crossover elements but nothing to break the storyline. It will flow in at the right moment. Crossover will have some elements of Starcraft and maybe some Star Wars (no force abilities) for now.

Planet Reach

In a facility that was mostly off the records was a group of kids dressed and gray clothing. A total of 75 kids no older than 6 from different places, different races, and different genders. The kids were crowed up into groups talking to each other trying to get information. They may not have known each other, but they were all in the same spot. Talks about where they were, what to do, what's going to happen to them, and some asking for their family. Leaning down against the wall were two kids a bit from the others. One was a light skin female with short cut black hair. The other was a mixed skin male with short black hair in a fade. Both were siting down with female head in her legs and the male head facing up at the ceiling with his eyes closed.

"Where are you from" the boy spoke up gaining her attention. Looking over to him she let her brown eyes take in his features before answering him.

"Cascade. What about you?" she answered watching as his eyes opened up to reveal his blue eyes which looked back at her.

"Would you believe if I said I was from Earth?" he answered with a smirk making her eyes widen at the answer. "Our home-world? Wow! I guess they grab us from everywhere" she stated as a taller boy slid down next to her on the wall.

"Names Jorge. They snatched me up from here?" he spoke up gaining their attention

"Here? Oh yeah my name is Serin"

"Zack. Yeah, you said from here? What's here?" questioned Zack

"Yup. I know I would had felt if I was on a ship. Like I'm sure you were. And this is Reach" he answered gaining "Oh" from the two.

"I think there is about 73 of us here, but from asking around we don't have a clue" spoke Jorge releasing a deep breath

"How did you guess that number?" asked Zack raising a eyebrow before Jorge pointed at a number on his shirt like everyone else's. Jorge was 52, Serin 19, and Zack was 09.

"Wrong" stated Serin pointing at a boy looking at a glass window. On his chest was the number 117

"Oh. So, we don't have a clue how many of us are there" stated Jorge scratching his head with a smile

"Or if this the only room with kids in it because there is no way there is 100 kids here" finished Serin as the automatic doors slowly opened gaining everyone's attention. Standing up with the others the three faced the opening door with the other kids.

"Whatever happens let's stick together" spoke Zack

"Or never forget each other if we do get spilt up" finished Serin making the two look at her confused. "Well I'm being honest. If they managed to snatch us up from all over the place, it will be easy to spilt us up once again"

"Your smart/ smartass" – Jorge and Zack

"Language" – Serin

10 years later

Zack or as he was quick to pick up on Jack-009 was standing in line for the procedure that was mandatory for all of them to take. He was towards the front of the line and he was pretty sure he would be part of the next few. Behind him was his two friends he decided to keep as friends. Serin and Jorge. Jorge had continued to have his friendly attitude towards friends. But very intimating with his impressive height towards enemies. Serin kept up with her smarts becoming very quick witting and strategic. He could only hope everyone comes out ok as he stepped through the doors following the doctors.

Next Day

In a massive chamber, beds were lined up by rows with glass surrounding each bed like a container. In each bed laid a person with wiring attached to them and nearby machinery. Above the beds attached to the wall was another room looking down at them. Standing in the room looking down at her tablet was a Dr. Catherine Halsey. She had a frown on her young face as she read the report.

For most of the kids now called Spartans the surgery was successful, but some had died. Others had unforeseen consequences and couldn't continue with the project. It was sad that it came to be this way, but she can't put her focus on the negatives. Most of the Spartans have not leave the danger area yet.

"Deja, how soon will the Spartans be in stable condition?" she spoke out to the A.I. in the console

"Doctor, 65 percent are still haven't stabilize yet, but they should be in the green overnight assuming their conditions keep improving. The fail candidates should be waking up soon in a nearby facility. Doctors and staff have already been sorted to attend to their every need to make them comfortable and ready for their next part in their life" said a soft spoken A.I. making Halsey nod her head

"Report to me if there is any chan-" she started as the lights started flickering on and off with energy spikes

"Deja, Report!" she shouted running to a computer and typing on it to get more info

"We seemed to be receiving a large amount of power and data running through are systems. Origination is unknown, but its destination is towards 009 capsule"

"What! Stop it! I don't want any outsiders messing with me Spartans. Especially at a time like this!" she yelled trying even harder to cut the connection as the systems showing 009's status flashing bright red

At 009

Leaking out from the nearby capsule of 009 as blue energy slowly forming a ball of energy. It was slowly gaining size and stayed in its hovering position. As sparks came off the equipment it slowly roused Zack-09 from his sleep allowing him to barely glimpse at a blurry blue orb. It was all he could try to do as a soft but powerful voice spoke out

"You may not understand why I am doing this but know I'm doing this for the future of your species. You all must learn, adapt, and diversify yourself in order to survive what's to come. You shall be only but a step in that direction. This project you humans are on is just the beginning" finished the voice before it started to glow brighter than before with a charging sound being made. It continued for a few seconds before it fired a blue beam in Zack making him fully alert with pain. He started screaming as the energy was being absorbed into his body as the staff could only watch in shock not hearing the voice.

With staff

They watched as his vitals went haywire and couldn't even begin to find out what's going on. But they could see the other Spartans starting to wake due to the noise the scene was causing.

"Gas them all! We can't have them wake up in the healing process and 009 is already in enough pain. Put them all back to sleep" ordered Halsey

"Roger. Sleeping gas is be released now" spoke Deja as smoke started to be released into chamber to put everyone back to sleep and Zack as well but more slowly.

"(Sign), Deja give me a report on everything that just happened and record everything for future reference" ordered Dr. Halsey grabbing some equipment to head to the Spartans.

2 weeks Later

Serin had once again awoken to the bright lights coming from the window, the pure smell of disinfection and cleanliness, and the white ceiling and walls. 'I'm still in a hospital'. Slowly sitting up to look at the cuts made from the attempted augmentation process and the tubes attached to her skin. 'Yeah attempted augmentation process. I was one of the lucky few to survive but one of the unlucky few for it to not be successful. I'm not a spartan. They wont even tell me any information on Jorge and Zack'. She finished her thoughts with a release of a deep breath as the door opened.

Stepping into the room was a man that she never seen before. What caught her attention was the ONI uniform that he wore. Closing the door behind him and removing his hat to show his standard military cut, the caucasian male sat down by her bed placing his pad on his lap.

"Who are you?" she demanded first as the man smirked at her

"I'm with ONI" was his simple reply

"That didn't answer my question"

"Heh, you don't need to worry about my name. It's unimportant. But what is important is what we have to offer you" he finished placing the pad on her lap for her to look at. Scrolling down the information she looked at it in confusion before looking back at him.

"You want me to join ONI?"

"Yes, we do. We saw the knowledge base tests that you toke. You were among the top of your class. We can put that knowledge to use in ONI. We don't throw away assets unnecessary like Dr. Hasely has done. For some incentive, we can give you information on what those two friends of yours is up to. A spartan Jorge and Zack if the reports are correct. I'm sure you want to know the crisis surrounding the Spartan project now involving Zack?" he finished gaining a wide eye from her

"Crisis? What do you mean? What's going on with the spartan project and Zack?"

"Ah, I can't tell you more as you are not a part of ONI. But if you were part of ONI, you would have full information on what's going on" he stated crossing his arms and leaning back giving her a few seconds to think about, what to do.

"Where do I sign?"

Unknown Facility

Staring through a large window at a large white room containing a single person inside was Dr. Hasely. She was going through the data she managed to collect on the Spartan 009 Zack. From what she managed to gain his entire genetic structure has changed. It has become more complicated and taking a long time breaking it down. From her data she had collected she managed to know this. With the Spartan augmentation process included, he has jumped to the height of 6,9. His speed, strength, stamina, reaction time, hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste, bone density was better than the other Spartans. She wanted to experiment and research more on him, but orders came down from ONI. Spartan Zack was to be removed from the other Spartans to be researched and study by another scientist while she continued with the Spartan project. He is still considered a Spartan for now but just a side branch of it until all the effects of the phenomenon are understood.

"And they just had to give him to her" she muttered glancing to the side as the door opened to reveal the scientist walking in with her data pad. It was a female wearing multi-pocket black pants, a red sleeveless shirt, and a lab jacket over it.

"Professor Ellen Anders. The new and upcoming scientist"

"Ah, Dr. Hasely. I was told that you should be leaving now to finish your project and I'm to take over here. Do you mind?" she questioned hinting at Dr. Hasely's pad.

"I don't. He is all yours. Be mindful and don't destroy what I created. I'm sending you all my data now" she finished tapping a button on her pad and walking out the area.

"Damn, that woman infuriates me sometimes. (Sign) let's see what we got here" she muttered looking through the glass to stare at Zack as he stared back at her with unblinking eyes

"Strange"
