Chapter. 1
The Spirit of Fire, at 2.5 miles long, she was one of the longest ships in the UNSC. Designated lost with all hands, still, some people, even at ONI, believed that she still lived. Lost in the aether. So, directly after the Didact was killed, Admiral Hood sent SPARTAN IVs to back up her rescue party.
Led by SPARTANs that were all assumed dead, but in reality, they were replaced by flash clones, again. SPARTAN II Team Silver, consisting of Sam-034, Soren-066, Grace-093, Adriana-111, and Nicole-458 from the second II class. The SPARTAN III Headhunters, Jonah, trained by Soren himself, and Roland along with Teams Cutlass and RapierThe rest of the crew were either surviving Is, elite IVs, notably teams Dragon and Ghost, or ODSTs who were deemed to unfit for the front lines because of extreme measures to kill the enemy, such as diving head first into cqb with a Field Marshall Elite and surviving. They were the deadliest fighting force known to man, and their mission required them to be: Find and bring home the Spirit of Fire.
"Captain S-066, the beacon is located, but it's still quite a ways off sir." The Cloak and Dagger's A.I. Flame of Burning Pyre, it's avatar in the shape of a mythical Gryphon, reported to the dozing SPARTAN, she sighed upon noticing this, and moved his chair back just enough that the man's feet hit the floor.
"What is it Flame?" Soren asked waking up from his nap. The A.I. reported that Longsword scouts revealed that their target was near. Their mission had truly began.
(A/N) This is what I believed should have happened instead of the canon she being overrun by Flood, and yes I know that most of these SPARTANs were either K.I.A or in Soren's case a wash out, but my O.C. was too similar that I just messed around with his story a bit. As for the I's, I'm doing more research into others besides everybody's favorite Sergeant Major, Avery Johnson.
And for those reading the Plasma Corps. Writers block is overwhelming but I'm squeezing out a massive chapter that should leave y'all happy!
As always, Nightmares and Horrors Delight!
