Here we go! a second project for me to work on yay! lol. Partially inspired by reading "Blue 4" by firewolf. Liked the concept and wanted to put my own spin on it. Please read and review! This will take place right after the end of the Human-Covenant war, and lead up to and during the events of Halo 4 and the Spartan Ops series.

Levi-064 Woke to bright white lights. He lifted his head off the bed, ignoring the pain throbbing through his whole body. He was in a small medical bay with two other people. He tried to think through the haze. He finally managed to remember their names. Jake-003 and Marcus-097.

"You're awake! Wonderful!" A female medical technician said as she walked in the door. She had a data pad in her hand, and he assumed it was monitoring his vitals, which were all on a large screen to his left.

"Did it work? Where are the others?" He groaned out, before laying his head back and closing his eyes.

"Yes and no. You and your two friends here were part of the 30 who died during the original augmentations. Your bodies were put in storage for when we could bring you back. At the present, you three were the only ones we had the means to restore." The woman explained, carefully monitoring his vitals. The door opened again and two marines walked into the room.

"So are we Spartans? Did the augmentations work this time?" Levi asked hoarsely. He couldn't see, but the woman smiled.

"Yes. The augmentations worked this time. And since you were deceased, we were able to complete the neural interface and all the injections with you barely resuscitated, so you shouldn't remember the pain like the others."

"So, how long were we dead? Are any of the others still alive?"

"About twenty eight years. You missed the war. But don't worry, they have plans for you. As for the others, some of them are still alive. But you'll learn of that later. Get some rest now." The woman hit a button, and immediately Levi felt the sedatives rushing in his veins.

Two months later, and the three reborn Spartans were entirely up to speed on the events that had transpired while they were dead and in storage. They had all finished training together and were in MJOLNIR armor suits that had been specifically tailored to their skills in the field, Marcus in tan bulky armor trimmed in white that everyone referred to as Warrior armor, Jake was wearing Aviator class armor in the color of the classic Spartan armor olive green, and Levi was in black Wetwork armor trimmed in dark red. Levi and Jake traded discreet looks. They were standing here in this park on a military base outside of New Phoenix, waiting for a group of their old comrades who would be coming and recruiting two of them onto their team. The other would be assigned to scut work for the politicians as a show puppet or a body guard or something else. And both he and Jake were hoping it would be Marcus who ended up being the odd man out. Levi thought this was a little ridiculous, having them wait in a park when the team had already picked. They were just here to receive the news. They saw the three blue armored Spartans approaching and immediately stood at attention.

"At ease Spartans." One in extremely bulky armor said.

"This is so weird. I can't believe their not dead anymore. It's… amazing. But look at them. They're still teenagers." Kelly whispered over their private team channel so the three once dead Spartans can't hear. Linda's green light flashed once in agreement.

"You two never told me which of them you wanted on the team." Fred remarked.

"I thought it would be obvious. Everyone always liked Levi; he was always so laid back and calm. Plus he was a damn good infiltration and assassination expert. And Jake could fly or drive anything you threw at him. Marcus was always a big bully and was only good at being muscle. We have you for that." Kelly answered. Linda again flashed her green light to agree.

"Alright. We decided that Jake and Levi would be the most useful additions to our team. We're sorry Marcus, but don't worry. The UNSC has already found an extremely useful job for you. A team will be along to brief you and escort you to the ship you'll be serving on. Levi, Jake, come with us." Fred said. He turned on his heel and trudged off, Kelly, Linda, and the two newest recruits to blue team in tow, Leaving Marcus alone and fuming mad that he hadn't been picked to join the team.

"Can I fly?" Jake asked as they climbed into a pelican.

"Why are you asking that?" Fred wondered.

"Because that's my specialty? And I want to make sure I'm not rusty. It has been, what, twenty eight years since I've had the chance." The young Spartan asked. Fred shrugged, but nodded his head. Jake cheered in delight and bolted for the cockpit.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, neither of our new teammates have ANY mission experience yet. Plus, they're so young! They're basically still fourteen!" Kelly asked over the private com line the older members of Blue team still had to themselves.

"You forget that's when we first started doing missions. And they went through two months of training to get caught up to speed with us. A few weeks aboard the Infinity and we can have them trained with the hand motions and tactics we developed after they died, and they'll be back in the team like the old days. Just think of them as your long lost little brothers." Fred said.

"I think you two are forgetting the biggest problem. It's been over twenty eight years since we rode a pelican flown by Jake, but I still remember the terror of the death defying trips piloted by him. And by the looks of Levi being strapped down tight as hell in his seat, I'm sure he remembers." Linda stated as she strapped herself in. Fred and Kelly traded looks, knowing each other's horrified faces even though they were hidden behind their visors. The two quickly strapped themselves down in their seats as the pelican took off. The four Spartans in the rear compartment of the drop-ship held on for dear life during the flight to the Infinity.

Thus ends the prologue! Please read and review!
