A/N I adopted this story from the wonderful Hazzamo because he did not have the time or drive to finish it, so I went ahead and decided that it needed some love, So no I am not plagarizing, I am picking up where Hazzamo left off. Enjoy!

UNSC CHARON-CLASS LIGHT FRIGATE FORWARD UNTO DAWN

DATE: 2554

All was quiet aboard the light frigate's wreckage, the only living soul on the ship being humanity's greatest and most decorated hero to ever exist, Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan-II Commando, John-117. He was in a well deserved cryogenic rest after the events of Installation 04B, the battle that staved off the Flood and destroyed the Ark, the hub for firing the entire Halo Array, and with it, all sentient life in the galaxy. Meanwhile his closest friend and companion, the "Smart" AI Cortana that had been almost constantly at his side since the events of the Fall of Reach was doing her level best to keep the super soldier alive.

Cortana was thinking to herself, "Why hasn't the UNSC responded?" For quite literally the eighteen trillionth time since the Forward Unto Dawn was cut in half with her John being stranded in space, it was boring for even a normal person, but for a "Smart" AI like Cortana, it was even worse. A minute of inactivity for a human is boring, but for an AI it feels closer to a millenia for an Artificial Intelligence like her, and the fact she'd done this for over a year did nothing if not prove her loyalty to John, if that didn't...what would?

Luckily she didn't need or want to answer such a question, because suddenly the Forward Unto Dawn's long range sensors, or rather what was left of them, picked up some very interesting information. Cortana received and processed the data in less than five seconds and was surprised and relieved at she found.

The sensors had found that they were in an undiscovered space system, to which Cortana called Prometheus, and found that they would become locked into orbit with one of three celestial bodies. A small gas giant, half the size of Jupiter, a super heated dwarf planet near the star itself, and an Earth sized Garden world with a moon almost the same size as Pluto that was almost dangerously close to her parent planet.

Cortana made several adjustments and did what she could to get the wreck of a space ship towards the planet, dubbed Eden by the AI.

ONE WEEK LATER

Cortana found it time to warn the Chief about their situation, so she deactivated the cryo pod that held him and got him reacquainted with his bearings after being out for almost a year.

"Wakey, wakey sleepy head!" Cortana mocked, the Chief ignored her as he checked his MA5D, finding a full magazine and three reserve still secured to his belt, he slammed one home and smiled to himself when the digital screen flashed '32'.

"Why did you wake me, Cortana?" Chief asked, placing the rifle on it's magnetic clamp on his back.

"Well John, I've got good news and I've got bad news, which do you want to know first?" Cortana asked, well aware of which he would ask for.

"Cortana..."

"Well, the Dawn is about to crash land on an unknown planet in around four hours, so I woke you up to give you time to fill a Pelican with supplies to safely ferry yourself down to the surface" the AI explained to her armored friend. He simply nodded in return.

"And the good news?" Master Chief asked.

"That WAS the good news" she said grimly, then burst out into laughter. "Sorry Chief couldn't resist, the planet is an Earth sized garden world about half an AU from it's star, due to it's size and stage in life. I've also detected signs of a civilization in some areas."

"Okay...Good so far, what else can you tell me?" The Chief asked his AI companion

"Well either it's A: A colony world belonging to an unknown race, however I disposed of that theory when no ships were detected, and no Hawking or Checkov radiation designating slipspace jumps" the AI paused for a moment as if pondering something, "I have detected quite a lot of dark energy on the planet though."

"...or B?"

"It's a pre spaceflight, Post-Industrial world with significant border issues, look" she said, bringing up a hologram of the planet, highlighting several areas in dark red.

"These are all MASSIVE population centers, but look nothing more than 200 miles inland, I'm directing us as close to the coastline as I can..." that was as far Cortana got before the Chief noticed something.

"Cortana have you noticed the land patterns? "

"Yes, why?"

"Have you noticed that two parts of the planet look like dragons, one Eastern and one Western?" The Spartan said, pointing to the two continents.

"Yeah I did notice that, doesn't seem entirely natural...Forerunners?"

"Maybe, anyways I've got a Pelican to with weapons food and supplies before we die upon reentry." John said as he planted Cortana;s chip back into his helmet, the feeling of mercury rushing down his spine as she integrated with his neural interface. "Oh, what have you named the planet?"

"Eden."

"Very original Cortana" the Spartan said as he reached the armory.

Location: Remnant/Vytal/Beacon Academy (UNSC Designation: Eden)

Time: 23:30 Local Time

Ruby Rose looked up at the night sky, the stars were exceedingly beautiful tonight. She was having trouble sleeping...again. Not because she accidentally cause a "small" incident in which she sent a combat instructor to the hospital, she was technically in a duel with him at the time so that made all of her moves grapples legal. All combat teachers were well aware of the risks in training the students, but she was still given essay she had to hand in next week about how it's "Not okay to roundhouse kick teachers in the stomach, uppercut them, then kick them in the genitals".

That said, she didn't have the flare here sister did in hand to hand combat, that being said she was far more controllable in combat than Yang in hand to hand combat. Yang's last instructor was bald, well SHE had had a full head of hair until she accidentally pulled out a few strands of the brawler's hair in their spar, the results weren't pretty.

"Trouble sleeping?" A voice came from behind the Scythe Wielder, making her jump, she turned around to see Yang standing behind her with two cups of hot chocolate in her hands.

"Yeah Yang, thanks" she said as she took a cup. "I've just been thinking..."

"About what? How it's not a good idea to knock a teacher out cold?" Yang asked, a teasing grin on her face.

"Says the girl who burnt all the hair off her previous instructor's hair" Ruby teased back, taking a sip out of her cup before spitting it out. "YAAAAAAANG! If this was any colder, I'd think Weiss made it!" She shrieked at her sister.

"Would you say it's Weiss Cold or out cold like your teacher?" Yang said chuckling at her pun, a chorus of groans could be heard throughout the night.

Ruby rolled her eyes and went back to watching the stars and gasped. "Hey Yang look! See it?" She said excitedly as she pointed at the shooting star.

"Yeah it looks like a shooting star...AND IT'S COMING THIS WAY" Yang screamed, causing Weiss and Blake to shoot straight up in their beds to look out the window Ruby was pointing out of.

"What's going on Yang?" Blake said poking the blonde on her shoulder, "Yang?"

"Sh..sh...shooting st..st..star!" Ruby said pointing, causing Weiss and Blake to look out of the window as a massive oblong rectangle object coated in fire passed over the school with a massive 'WHOOSH' followed twenty seconds later by an even more massive 'CRASH'

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Blake answered it only to see an extremely disheveled Pyrrha who was in a pair of red pajamas and looked like she was in a state of panic.

"Did you see that!?" She asked, trying not to hyperventilate.

"YES!" All four girls said in unison.

"We saw where it landed" Jaune began, shaking out of some unknown mix of excitement and fear. "It crashed right into the middle of the Emerald Forest!" however after he said that the entire floor went into chaos, some were screaming about aliens some about the end of the world, and some about how everyone should shut the hell up.

Then the intercoms crackled to life and a calm reassuring voice drifted over them, "All students please remain calm and in your dorms, we will have the situation under control as quickly as we can. Team KIJU please make your way to the airpads, Team KIJU please make your way to the airpads, thank you."

"Who's team KIJU?" Blake asked.

"They're the best team in the school! Probably in all of Vytal! Undefeated in tournaments, thousands of Grimm kills to their names, and they're fourth years, which helps them as well!" Ruby said excitedly as Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose muttering something about how she was about to say that.

"Isn't that Ren's sister's team?" Yang asked curiously to which Pyrrha nodded.

"Yep, Lie Umiku, and if they get called out it's nothing good" she explained to team RWBY as they started wondering what exactly they were going to find.

Location Remnant/Vytal/ Emerald Forest (UNSC Designation: Eden)

Time: 00:30 Local Time.

It was a dark and stormy night to be walking through the Emerald Forest, the moon was hidden by clouds, and the canopy of the forest didn't allow much light anyways. Professor Goodwitch was leading team KIJU through the forest as they followed the path of destruction that the falling star had left behind, the forest was a complete wreck, small fires eating at the trees that were held back due to the torrential downpour.

Kelly Sabre, leader of team KIJU was scanning the treeline, her topaz eyes looking for anything out of the ordinary. Her hands were tightened around her weapons, a pair of jet black war axes that turned into a pair of sub machine guns that could fire 900 rounds per minute.

Whilst she was scanning the treeline, she saw something half buried in the dirt, it had the appearance of a four by four and had a huge machine gun on the back, it was a gun metal and had the emblem of an eagle holding a planet with the letters "UNSC" stamped onto it.

'This must be the symbol of the person who owns the thing, I like it, even though it looks like a boarbatusk' she thought as she noticed the huge winch on the front of it.

"So cap' whaddya think of this truck? I hear it ain't the cheapest model out that" Kelly turned around to the person who spoke, her partner, Issac Colt. A hyena faunus with the mind of a General, who preferred caution and clever tactics to her brother's method of 'charge in first, plan later'.

"I don't know, Issac." She said, her accent was the polar opposite of Issac's. "But I can bet this truck belonged to someone who went hunting and never returned. What do you think 'UNSC' stands for anyways?" She asked as she thought it over for a second before she chuckled and said "Universal Never-ending Supply of Cookies?"

"I thought it stood fer 'Universal Napalm Shooting Cannon' I mean look at that massive gun, it looks like it could deal serious damage." He said, jerking his thumb towards the massive chain gun.

"It makes more sense than mine" she shrugged as they walked forward before Issac stopped cold and looked around cautiously. "Uhh Issac, you okay?"

"Huh?" He started, "I just think someone's watching us" he said as the two of them looked around before continuing on their path to the crash site.

So Umiku, what do you think we're going to find? I bet it's something super powerful! Oh!Oh! Oh! Maybe it's a gun that shoots smaller guns!" The second male of team KIJU said, Jacob Sabre, the strongest of the group, he had to be to make up what he lost in intelligence.

"A gun that shoots guns? That sounds incredibly redundant, it would just give your enemy more weapons!" The ever calm voice of Lie Umiku said, it was clear where Ren got his stoic personality from.

About five minutes of walking and listening to ever stupider ideas from her partner, the two regrouped with team KIJU near the crash sight, their investigations coming out negative with the exclusion of the truck that team's leader and partner found. They moved up to the crash sight and were extremely surprised at what they saw.

It was a ship, a spaceship. Only very damaged and clearly never going to fly again, the ship was covered in cannons on the outside, and small turrets on the inside that they could see. There was definitely something that screamed 'Don't fuck with me' about this ship. They walked around the other side and saw something even more startling.

"UNSC FORWARD UNTO DAWN" was proudly painted on the side in white stamped letters, underneath what looked like some kind of alien skull or ship was painted as well.

Jacob was first to speak, as they were still gawking at the large ship in front of them. "Uhh guys, if this came from space, I have question..."

"What would that be?" Professor Goodwitch asked, still transfixed on the ship.

"Why is the name written in Vytalian?" He pointed at the writing on the side.

"Oh dust, he's right!" Issac stated, continually staring at the broken half of the ship, desperately wanting to go in and investigate.

"It's not in Vytalian..." A deep baritone voice saide from behind them, they all jumped at the voice, but didn't move. "Turn around slowly" the voice ordered. They all complied, and were struck dumb at what they saw.

Before them stood a seven foot tall alien in some sort of green armor, a faint yellow flashing over it when an ember or a raindrop hit it, he had a golden visor the only thing breaking from his green theme and was holding a black rifle in his hands, with a blocky looking handgun clasped to his side, along with another more conventional looking one. The rifle wasn't pointing at them though, it was pointing at the ground below them in a threatening way, but showing that he did not intend on hurting them if they complied. He exuded an air of danger around him though.

Professor Goodwitch quickly regained her composure and spoke first in the place of her students. "My name is Professor Glynda Goodwitch" she said, nervously reaching out her hand. "I welcome you to the planet Remnant, homeworld of both Humanity and the Faunus."

The alien looked at her for a moment as if assessing the threat and then placed the rifle on his back and took the hand she offered. "Master Chief Petty Officer, Sierra-117" The alien said in a neutral tone.

'Is this guy a robot' Jacob whispered to Issac, hoping he didn't attract the alien's attention.

"No, I am not a robot" The Chief said as he snapped his head in the direction of the boy.

"Well Master Chief, my name is Kelly Saber and this is my team" Kelly began as she motioned for her team to introduce themselves.

"Issac Colt, strategy and tactical genius"

"Umiku Ren"

"Are you sure you're not a robot?" Jacob began before he took an elbow to his ribs from Umiku. "Jacob Sabre. Are you an alien?"

"To you I am, yes." The Master Chief replied in a speculative fashion.

"What species are you?" Kelly asked, curious of the answer.

"Human."
