Author's Note: I wrote a Halo/Pokemon crossover because I think there aren't enough of those type of stories.

They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and

swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something that no one saw, but me. Can you guess?

Luck.

Was I wrong?

In the far reaches of space, the floating aft section of the Forward unto Dawn was drifting aimlessly. Inside the wreckage,a large figure was floating into a room filled with a room full of cryotubes. This figure was 7 feet tall and was wearing green armor with a helmet that had a reflective orange visor.

Then, a hologram of a woman appeared on a pedestal, called a Holotank. She had medium length hair and had codes and data flowing across her blue, holographic body. She then spoke in a soft voice. "I'll drop a beacon. But it'll be awhile before anyone finds us." The armored figure pulled himself into one of the cryotubes. "Years, even." The tall person looked up at the hologram. "I'll miss you." The figure smiled a small smile underneath his helmet. "Wake me. When you need me." he spoke in a gruff voice. The holographic woman smiled and nodded. The cryotube then closed and sealed itself, freezing the figure inside. The hologram gave out a sigh and then disappeared.

Unknown to the hologram and the armored soldier, an orange and light blue figure with a purple gem in the middle of it's chest and tentacle like arms was floating near the wreckage and looking through one of the windows. It nodded to itself and turned around and flew back to the planet below.

'5 months. It has been 5 months to the day that the Chief has been frozen.' Cortana thought to herself. She looked over at the cryotube holding the Spartan that she had known for such a long time now. Stepping off of the Holotank that she was standing on, she walked over to him, growing in size until she was now about 5 and a half feet tall. She ran her hand across the glass on the tube and gazed into the visor of the green Spartan.

Something snapped her out of her thoughts. 'The proximity alarm?' She did a scan of the area around the Forward Unto Dawn. There was a small vessel heading towards them. Cortana smiled, then looked at the frozen Spartan again. "Don't worry Chief. It won't be long now." She then disappeared and reappeared on the pedestal she was previously on. 'Time to wake up.' She then began the un-thawing process.

Master Chief Petty Officer Sierra (John)-117 groggily opened his eyes. He saw the hatch of the cryotube open. "Wakey wakey, John. Don't keep a lady waiting." a familiar voice teased. Master Chief smirked under his helmet. "Chief, there's a vessel heading towards us, but I can't tell what kind it is though. It seems to be of alien origin." John's smirk disappeared and his military training kicked.

Slowly got out of the cryotube and carefully stretched out his muscles. After getting his muscles stretched out, he floated over to a weapon's rack and grabbed the lone Assault Rifle on it. He then floated over to the Holotank and quickly pulled out the data chip containing Cortana. Master Chief then heard the AI's voice in his head, thanks to the neural link he now shared with her. I can't tell what class the ship is, but I recognize the way it's build. It's design is similar to a Phantom. The chief took the safety off his weapon. "Covenant?" The voice then sounded curious. No, and I only detect one lifeform on it.

The Chief then started to float towards the Armory. "Which direction is it coming from?" From the northern end of the ship. Master Chief grabbed some ammunition that was still floating around the Armory. He then slowly floated towards the northern end of the wreckage, his weapon at the ready. Cortana then spoke in his mind. The figure is now 50 yards from your current location.

The Chief hid behind the corner of the wall he was behind and watched his HUD map. The figure was slowly heading towards his location. 30 yards. The Chief could then hear a soft thumping sound of feet pushing off of metal. 10 yards. The grip on his weapon tightened. 1 yard. The Chief then jumped out from the corner of the hall and grabbed the figure around the neck and he held it against the wall with the barrel of the Assault Rifle pointed at it's head.

The Chief could now see that the figure was 7' 10" tall and had leathery skin. The beings leg were bent at an odd angle and it had mandibles. It was a Sangheili. But when Master Chief took a closer look, he saw that the armor it was wearing was a bronze-copper color and it looked like ceremonial designs were carved into it.

It was none other than the Arbiter, Thel Vadam. A chuckle emitted behind the oxygen mask that Arbiter was wearing. "It's good to see that you are alive, Spartan." Master Chief let go of the Sangheili. "What are you doing here, Arbiter?" Thel looked into the visor of the Chief. "When the search for you was called off 4 months ago, I decided to take a repair ship and look for you myself. I kept searching because I had a feeling that you were still alive. I was able to pick up the weak emergency beacon that was sent out from this ship."

Cortana then spoke up, using the speakers the suit contained. "You traveled all this way for that long, just to find us?" The Arbiter smirked. "Yes, and it is nice to know that you still haven't fallen into rampancy, AI."

"It's Cortana." she said irritably. Arbiter clicked his mandibles, his version of a shrug. The Chief then spoke up. "Maybe we should get out of here and back home." "I agree." said Thel. They both turned around and floated towards the location of the repair ship. When the ship came into view, John hesitated, something that he rarely does.

The ship, if you could call it that, looked pitiful. The hull was damaged, there was plasma burns everywhere, and there was a lot of wires hanging everywhere. Cortana was the first to speak. "That's a ship? I've seen Warthogs with less damage than that." The Arbiter spoke with irritation in his voice. "It was the best that I could get on short notice, and I got the damage from a group of Jiralhanae and Unggoy that still believed in the Great Journey, the pathetic fools." Thel Vadam then hopped into the pilot's seat. "Come, Spartan. Time is wasting." Chief shook his head and got onto the ship and pulled the hatch shut.

Arbiter started to push some buttons and typed on holographic keyboard. The repair ship started to pull away from what was once the aft section of the Forward Unto Dawn. After pulling a lever and pressing another button, the ship's thrusters ignited and the repair ship started to turn around. But then, a loud 'BANG' was heard and the whining sound of a dying engine rang through the inside of the ship.

The Chief spoke. "What was that?" The Arbiter started to furiously press buttons on the keyboard. "The plasma induction turbine in the right thruster just exploded." Master Chief ran up to the pilot's seat. "Can it be fixed?" Arbiter shook his head. "No. I don't have the tools to do so. We are also caught in the gravitational pull of the planet below us. If one of us gets outside of the ship, that person will drift towards the planet. I suggest we try to pilot the ship for a crash landing on the planet's surface." Master Chief nodded in agreement and strapped himself into the co-pilot's seat.

The gravity started to pull the ship towards the planet. The ship started to groan and creak from the stress of re-entry, the hull began to glow red from the heat, and the entire ship was rocking and jerking violently in different directions. Both Master Chief and the Arbiter were pushed back into their seats from the massive G's and their vision began to blur. Luckily their military training and their suits were preventing them from passing out.

Suddenly, a very loud groan and the sound of metal ripping apart echoed throughout the ship. With one last groan, the entire back of the ship ripped away, leaving only the cockpit left. The Chief and Thel started to panic. The Sangheili's voice was heard over Master Chief's comm link. "Hang on Spartan!"

Not 2 seconds afterwords, the thick metal seats that John and Thel were still sitting in were suddenly ripped from their mountings, leaving them both exposed to the open atmosphere and separated from the cockpit.

Master Chief's armor and shields were currently keeping him from being roasted alive like a marshmallow over an open fire. He tore the harness he was wearing off and he grabbed the seat and placed it in front of him. "Arbiter! Take the seat and use it as a re-entry shield!" he yelled over his comm link. John turned his head to look at the Arbiter, but his eyes widened when he saw that Thel was unconscious and was falling like a ragdoll.

All of a sudden, an orange and blue blur flew through the atmosphere like a bullet and headed straight for the Arbiter. It then wrapped what looked like tentacles around Thel's torso and pressed itself against Thel's back. Cortana spoke up with an alarmed tone. What in the world is that? "I don't know Cortana, but it looks like its slowing Arbiter's descent." And that was the truth, because it started to pull back and the velocity of Thel's descent started to decrease considerably. A powerful jolt caused the seat that Chief was currently holding to hit him in the head. Hard.

The world around Master Chief started to fade and the last thing he remembered seeing was the strange being pulling the Arbiter towards his direction.
