A/N: This is the forth fanfic I have written and I hope this will be to your liking. It will continue where I left off in Time Net (my first fanfic, look at my stories in my profile). I suggest that you read that first so that you wont be confused. Well anyways please review and otherwise enjoy this story. (Also it is recommended to read the Halo series books to get some of the stuff or characters like Kelly and Dr. Halsey)
Disclaimer: I don't own Halo or any of the character but I do own my original characters.
Chapter 1: New Mombassa
In the future there are wars. In human history wars have been fought and have been lost or won. Of the millions of wars fought since the first stick or stone was thrown from the hand of ancient man none has compared to Human-Covenant war that has been fought (or will be fought) in the 24th century. In the future an allied force of aliens will want exterminate us, using their advanced technology they are close to that goal. But a small hope in the darkness shines bright. One man is pushed to his limits to save his race from total annihilation, he will have face many obstacles and perils. But he will not face them alone… A band of 4 ordinary people plus two unusual people from the past will come to the future to help this one man save the galaxy from certain destruction. This is their story…
Ocean waves hit the rocks, the sound echoed through the canyon. The salty ocean air blew over the bodies of unusually dressed people. The air whipped up the hair of a tall blonde women, she stirred then lifted her head up. She looked confused as she looked at the scene before her. All her friends lay there knocked out and she was lying in an unknown beach. She remembered being in the temple, on the edge of death at the hands of the flood, and then she felt herself disappear into a void and now her she was on a beach. Her legs wobbled as she stood up, her full frame creaked as she stretched her muscles. The rest of the group woke up as Elaine stood staring at the sea. They all stood up and looked around at the surreal setting before them.
"Weren't we in a temple," Chris said as he spread his hand over his face.
"Yeah we were but something happened," Dr. Halsey said. Elaine looked around the landscape, until she spotted the hazy outline of skyscrapers.
"Look it's a city," Elaine said pointing towards the buildings
"Oh my, I know where we are," Dr. Halsey said
"So where are we?" Jay said
"We're in New Mombassa," Kelly interrupted
"Don't you mean Mombassa?" James said
"No were in New Mombassa, in the year 2552," Dr. Halsey said in awe
"What are you talking about?" Elaine said
"Did we mention that we're from the future," Kelly said
"What?" Chris said.
"Let me explain, Kelly and me are from the year 2552, we somehow ended up in the temple when we landed our spaceship," Dr. Halsey said. The group looked confused at Dr. Halsey but she held her hands up to calm everyone down.
"Don't worry I'll explain more once we get to the city," Dr. Halsey said. She started walking with everyone behind her.
"Wow everything look different," Elaine said to Dr. Halsey as she stared out of the car window. The African city boasted futuristic architecture and automobiles; everything was different from her city back in 2005. Once they arrived in the city they rented a car, now they were now heading to something Dr. Halsey called the UNSC headquarters.
"So can you explain to me what UNSC is," Elaine asked
"The UNSC is the United Nations Space Command," Dr. Halsey explained
"So explain to us again on how you ended up in 2005," Chris said
"Ok let me start from the beginning. You see right now we are fighting a war, between us humans and a group of aliens called the covenant. Since we started fighting them we have been losing almost all of our space empire. Only Earth is left and we have a big chance of losing that. Even worse is that the covenant has discovered ancient super weapons left behind by a race of technologically advanced beings. The weapon is capable of destroying all sentient beings in the galaxy. But the covenant thinks it will bring about a religious journey of sorts. Well anyways during the war Kelly and me got into a ship and went into slipspace with a piece of a stone that has curious properties. Something went haywire and we ended up in that temple 1000 yrs before 2005. We stayed in and out of cryogenic freezing since, until we found ya'll."
"Wow that a lot of stuff to take in," Elaine said
"Hey what's slipspace?" Chris asked
"It a different dimension from ours, in it the laws of einsteinium physics don't apply, we use it to travel to different parts of space," Dr. Halsey explained
"Wow that amazing," Chris said
"Any other questions?" Dr Halsey asked
"Yeah I have one, do we have any hope of saving our asses?" James asked
"Yes we do, we have a plan," she said with a smile. She stopped the car as she parked in front of UNSC headquarters.
