The Lone Frigate
Author's Note: A word to the tards, just so you know, I have not given up on making fanfictions especially since I have just finished Halo Reach and have begun playing Halo Combat Evolved again. Which is the reason for this new fanfic involving Halo and Sonic. This is the first time I'm actually writing one so I'm kind of nervous. However, any information regarding Halo will come from the novels and not just the games. This will be an AU version of Combat Evolved and the characters and weapons will look how they did in the anniversary edition. Read and Review. Enjoy!
Edit 9/13/2016: Title changed to The Lone Frigate due to the original sounding too similar to the title for The Last Ship on TNT even though inspiration for this story came from that TV show.
Chapter 1: Escape
As the now decimated colony of Reach was being glassed, the last UNSC frigate, a Halcyon class cruiser known as the Pillar of Autumn made its escape while desperately evading plasma missiles from pursuing Covenant Carriers. Little did the crew of the Autumn know was while the ship was in dry dock the slipspace drive was in the process of being repaired. And since the Covenant decided to attack the shipyard, the repairs were only thirty percent complete.
Captain Jacob Keyes decided that since they had been told to evacuate as soon as possible that the current state of the slipspace drive to as good enough to make a blind jump.
"I don't care about the possibility of being blown up, Cortana. I'm more concerned about the Covenant killing us more than a faulty slipspace drive." Said Keyes while trying to light his pipe to calm his nerves. "Yes sir, but my analysis confirms that if we jump now, we might not end where we want to be!" Said a slightly aggravated Cortana. "Just make a blind jump Cortana. Now, or we're all dead!" Said Captain Keyes who was getting annoyed.
All Cortana said was, "Aye sir." And with that she began making preparations to jump into slipspace.
Meanwhile in the cryogenic barracks...
We now see two members of the Pillar of Autumn deck crew currently doing their best to make sure that the high value asset in the cryo pod they were told to look after was kept in check. The individual in question was a Spartan-II wearing a green mark V Mijolnir battle suit known as Master Chief Petty Officer John Sierra 117.
Suddenly the ship went into slipspace. But something was wrong. Before anyone knew what was going on an anomalous energy field occurred sucking the entire Halcyon Cruiser into a wormhole that the Captain and Cortana thought was a boost to the slipspace rupture. As the ship was completely engulfed, the Covenant Carriers pulled back with each ship Commander believing that they had perished in the anomaly.
