Gabe: I wasn't going to make a fanfic about Halo because I didn't want to mess up with the already great lore that Halo has. But after giving it some thought, I figured I could use my imagination to create more fanfics and that includes Halo. So yeah I'm going to make more fanfics about stuff including Halo. This here is based on the trailer for Halo 5. It's not much but hey read, enjoy and review.
A man dressed in a large, brown cloak wandered across a desert. He walked through a sandstorm. As he trekked in the midst of the storm, he began to think of his life. The man was known as a legend to many. To some, he was a great leader and caring friend. To one entity, he was a caring and perfect companion.
The man first thought of his early life. Through vague memories, he remembered growing on Eridanus II with his mother. When he was about seven, he was abducted by ONI and this was where his whole entire life was changed. He was trained to become a super-soldier. He went through so many painful augmentations that enhanced his strength and body. This was all part of the SPARTAN-II Project. He was one of the candidates successfully augmented. As a child, he had shown very strong leadership skills. After augmentations, he was promoted to Master Chief Petty Officer and was indeed a good leader on the battlefield. Due to his augmentations, he was able to receive the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. Originally, he and the others were trained to combat the Insurrection. But a new threat had appeared to the UNSC. The Covenant had arrived and pushed for humanity's extinction. Though many SPARTANs were killed during the Human-Covenant War, the man had lived. The man had become a legend during the War. It was because of him that the UNSC won the War. It was him who explored the first Halo ring known to mankind. He was the one who would destroy this weapon of mass destruction. He was the one who saved Earth. He was the one who ended the War. In the aftermath, the man was stranded in space from 2552 to 2557. He would wake up on the planet Requiem. There he would fight the ancient Forerunner, the Didact, with the aid of the UNSC.
Surviving the War and the encounter with the Didact was already hard enough for the man. Losing various comrades is what broke down this warrior. He had to leave his childhood friend Sam die. He had seen so many of his SPARTANs die under his command. Countless marines have died near him. Even his marine friend, Avery Johnson, died in his arms. But there was one who stood out to him the most. It was his A.I. companion Cortana who he missed the most. Originally, he did not really have strong feelings for Cortana. As time passed, he began to genuinely care for her. Soon a unique bond formed between them. He had lost Cortana after the encounter with the Didact. Cortana had used her last strength to shield him from the nuclear blast that destroyed the Didact's ship. She had sacrificed herself just to save him and since then, he felt guilty. He felt that he could have saved her.
Now Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 knows why he is here. He knows why he is trudging through this desert. He is here to find answers that can possibly bring back his companion and best friend. A gust of wind pushed back the Chief's hood, revealing his Mark VI helmet. A large avian-like machine appeared before him. Clutching the data chip that once housed Cortana, the Chief remembers why he is here and he readies his Magnum.
