IV: A way to win
1: Alfa P1
In an alternate timeline. The Human-Covenant war is over. But the casualties that were mounted ended up being far greater than anyone could've expected. The covenant is finished. But at what cost? The Elites have no home, all worlds have been glassed but Earth. The Elites took the time to scour the Galaxy and gather the remaining survivors. After the search was over, 4 Elite ships returned, opposed to the 3 UNSC ships that remained. Unfortunately, many of the covenants' other species had no homes, or were extinct entirely
The Hunter colonies had been obliterated by multiple ships attacking. The Jackals died out after a massive famine. Brutes were made sure to be extinct as it is. Drones simply didn't have what it took to survive without the aid of the covenant. But some 1,000 grunts survived and joined the Elites. It was 2555 when the Elites and Grunts came on the planet to live with us in harmony. We Thought we were safe, no more war, no more problems. Planet Reach had been converted into a major burial ground for all lives lost in the war, Human and Covenant alike. Though the Master Chief has been missing for some time. And Dr. Halsey, Linda, Fred, and Kelley were nowhere to be found. Maybe I'm thinking too hard, maybe this is nothing, but still, no one saw it coming, no one expected the Flood…

"C'mon kick his ass Kyle!" Brady yelled from the stands. Bryce was sitting right next to him, then Christian, and finally Emily. My best friends, my comrades in arms. I stared down the Elite in front of me, he had his energy sword, I had my combat knife.
"C'mon hurry up!" Bryce yelled, leaning against the stands with his arms crossed. The Elite Swung, I dodged and back flipped. The Swing of my combat knife cut through the air, missing the elite by inches. I saw a weakness, I took advantage of it, I smashed into him and slashed my knife. What I didn't see was the free arm he had. It smashed my wrist and the knife went flying, My back was turned. The Elite swung.
I turned and rolled out of the way. The Elite staggered and I took all my strength and slammed into him and he crashed outside the ring. "And the winner!!! Woo Hoo!!!" Brady yelled.
The elite had the strength to get up and walk towards me. "A fight well fought human." The Elite stuck out his hand.
"You are as strong as you are Honorable. I am proud to call you comrade." I replied, shaking back.
As the elite left Lord Hood entered the room. Kyle had only seen him once before, but he knew his importance. "Sound Off!" He yelled in his calm, ready voice.
"Spartan G13 reporting for duty sir!" Bryce saluted.
"Spartan E65 reporting for duty sir!" Emily saluted.
"Spartan C89 reporting for duty sir!" Christian saluted.
"Spartan P24 reporting for duty sir!" Brady saluted.
"Spartan K14 reporting for duty sir!" I saluted.
"At ease Spartans. Suit up and meet me on the bridge ASAP." Lord Hood exited the room.
My Spartans and I went into our special quarters to suit up in our MJOLNIR armor. Bryce had special Scout armor that aided him in his sniping. Brady had odd Japanese HayaBusa armor that increased his speed. Christian had EOD armor, it gave him better protection against explosions and flammable substances. I had C.Q.B armor, it really helped with my close quarters attacks. Emily was our designated driver, she had EVA armor. I took a look at her naked body before she donned her armor, even with my suppressed sexual drive I found her beautiful. Brady punched me in the arm as I snapped out of it. "Hey, idiot, take point, she's looking right at you." Brady chuckled.
The Spartans stepped into the Bridge. "We have a new mission for you, Squad leader, take a look at this file, it will tell you everything you need to know. Good Luck." Lord Hood spoke.
I flipped through the file. Onyx? Operation: Sierra Echo?

The Marine walked down the Hall and entered the room, he saw a Grunt curled on the floor, scared obviously.
I sighed, we had to be nice to these guys, it wasn't easy either, we had been fighting a war, we had killed each other. But we had to make the best of it, what I didn't know is the adventure I'd go on with this little guy.
"Hey buddy? What's wrong?" I said to it.
"Please don't hurt me Human!" It yelled in fear.
"Hey relax, I'm hear to help." I tried to put on a smile. I helped it up and grabbed it's hand.
"Oh c'mon, you can't tell me that you actually show compassion for that little beast." A Marine yelled holding a bloody knife. I noticed the cut on it's arm. I ignored it and walked to the medical room.
The grunt explained to me what happened as I patched him up. 'I didn't have any friends back in the covenant, or even now, will you be my friend?" The Grunt's gleaming eyes looked up at me, I couldn't believe what I said next.
"Sure thing buddy, you can share my room, it's a real small 1 person room but I do have a bunk bed so you can go on top." I said.
"Wow my first friend yay!!! My name's Yagip!" He cheered, apparently it was a guy.
"Nice to meet you Yagip." I said as we walked towards my room. He saw the Grunt's orange armor. "So, what kind of Grunt are you?" I asked, in an attempt to make conversation.
"My superiors call me cannon fodder!" Yagip yelled excitedly.
Great…

Cortana awoke as she looked at John inside cryo sleep and felt the hunk of the ship crash into something huge, like a planet. Weird
Inside the Dyson sphere, Kelley felt something hit the planet, like a hunk of a ship. Weird
