The year is 2566. The covenant empire has been annihilated. Nothing remains but a select few insurrectionists. Master Chief has been rescued after 7 years in cryo sleep. He was being transported back to earth on the Marathon Class Cruiser UNSC Yorktown. Our story begins in the Cryo bay.
"Master Chief Sir, wake up" The Chief heard a faint distant voice in his ears. "Chief we've had a bit of a complication. You're needed on the bridge." The Master Chief arose from his cryogenically induced slumber. His eyes opened to see an engineer standing at the controls to his chamber. "Chief" stated the engineer "The Captain has requested you come to the bridge. It sounds urgent, you'd better hurry.
Meanwhile thousands of miles away on Dragon World (a.k.a Earth)
Cell stood waiting as Vegeta charged his blast. The earth rumbled from the tremendous forces emanating from the golden haired Saiyan. "If you really want to test your strength you'll stay right there!" Cell merely smirked and got into a ready stance. "FATHER" yelled Trunks "You're going to destroy the whole planet!" Blatantly ignoring his son, Vegeta made the final touches to his attack. "FINAL FLASH" He roared as a brilliant gold beam of pure energy billowed from his hands. The blast came at Cell extremely fast. Cell not expecting such power from the blast yelled "OH SHIT!!" The blast hit him at an angle and continued to trail on into space.
Back on the USNC Yorktown
Master Chief made his way to the bridge. He entered the area making his way to the Captains' area. He soon met with Captain Gibson of the Ordinance of Naval Intelligence or ONI for short. "Sir" John saluted the Captain. "At ease Chief" calmly replied the Captain. "There seems to be an issue. A group of Covenant insurrectionists have come out of slipspace in front of us. We believe them to be heavily armed and highly dangerous. ""So what did you need me to do?" said John. "All high ranking members are useful in these kinds of situations to offer any knowledge." "Covenant ships approaching." an unknown voice said. Chief, surprised said "Cortana, is that you?" "Oh, didn't I mention that Cortana in the last act of her processing life was to create a copy of herself with minimal memory from your previous missions". "Hello Chief." Cortana II said. "It seems we have not time for chit chat" said the Captain. He was right as the group of covenant ships moved into an attack formation. "Charge the MAC gun!" he shouted as glowing lines of superheated plasma began to glow along the sides of the ships. "Evasive maneuvers NOW!" He shouted. The gravity on the deck shifted as the shi1p drifted sideways. The plasma fired and advanced on the ship getting a glancing but serious blow. "Status report" asked the Captain. "Decks 152 to 135 completely melted away, our MAC software is offline as well as our Shaw-Fujikawa drive" Stated a deck officer. "We're sitting ducks then" The Chief felt a sinking feeling in his stomach as he knew they were doomed. He had finally been rescued only to die moments after. The plasma bolts began to glow as all on deck silently said a prayer. Suddenly the Captain said "Cortana, what is that!?!" as a bright glow filled the ship. Cortana II answered quietly "Pure energy."
