Halo Fanfiction

Authors Note/Disclaimer

I don't own any of the characters except Zorander. The rest are owned by Bungie. This is just an idea that popped into my head. This is my first fanfiction so I'm open to ideas. Any flames will be used to bake pizza. Enjoy!

-Cortana Narrorating-

"All I ever wanted was to help him and support him. He was a Spartan, strong and smart, and I was an A.I. One of the smartest ever created by the UNSC. I was a hologram after my seven years were up I would leave. But I allowed myself to fall him. I sacrificed myself leaving him behind. I didn't realize he felt the same until it was too late."

-Kelly 087's Third Person PoV-

Spartan 087, Kelly, walked into the command deck. She and Master Chief had just returned from an intensive mission on Maethrillian. Now she had to deal with an issue she had unearthed during their time planet side. The cadets from Corbulo Academy spotted her and crossed the busy deck to reach her. Kelly's fellow Spartan, Fred 104 was with them. He must of caught the glint in her eyes because he looked at her questioningly.

"You're back."

He stated. She glared at him annoyed.

"Yep."

"You're angry."

She shot him a seething look and headed towards the ship's captain.

"Captain Rio? A word please"

Kelly had started out nice enough but her anger at the information she had learned during the mission was beginning to boil over.

-Flashback-

Kelly walked next to Mater Chief through the concrete jungle. She would glance at him periodically but he never acknowledged her. Kelly and Fred had been reunited with Master Chief John 117 a little less than two hours ago and they had received a curt nod and nothing more. She had never thought that she was ever going to see the Chief again but she walked next to him on a mission feeling like she was in trouble or something.

"You're quieter then I remember."

Kelly said hopping that saying it would get him to talk. He glanced at her but continued to walk. She sighed.

"Chief? I have to say I'm a little confused. We haven't seen each other for years and when we finally are reunited Fred and I didn't get as much as a hello, just a nod."

She stopped moving forcing him to do the same. He looked at her. Kelly swore that if his helmet was off he would be glaring at her.

"It's been five years Kelly. During that time I was the only Spartan there was a lot to do and I couldn't rely on another to anything."

He said finally breaking his silence. Kelly looked at him.

"Cortana was with you."

She stated. He sighed and looked away, checking their surroundings. Kelly did the same not wanting anything to sneak up on them.

"There was other squads' right? It wasn't like you had no one. Cortana was there the other soldiers were there."

He glanced at her again.

"Cortana's gone Kelly, she sacrificed herself to get me back to the Infinity."

She just stared at him shocked.

"You've been alone for what two years? What about the other soldiers? You led other squads right?"

The Chief nodded. Suddenly the conversation Kelly had with Dr. Halsey came to mind.

"They treat him like nothing more than military hardware just like they did to all of you before everyone disappeared."

Kelly felt anger building up inside her.

"Are you saying that after all this time, after all you've done for them they still treat you like a machine?!"

He didn't respond.

"Chief! You are no more a machine then they are! Sure you're stronger, faster and bigger than them, but you're still human!"

Chief shook his head.

"Not if you ask them Kelly. To them we're expendable, another machine in the line up. Captain Rio encourages it too. Now let's move, we've got a time line to keep."

-Flashback ends-

"What is it?"

Captain Andrew Rio answered her. Kelly fought the urge the shoot him. She took a breath and then spoke.

"You are a bastard."

She heard Fred sigh.

"Kelly…"

He said warningly.

"No Fred its fine let her speak."

Captain Rio said. He nodded to Kelly for her to continue.

"What gives you the right?! The Master Chief is just as human as you are!"

At this the Captain sighed.

"Is he? Is he really Kelly? Sure he's a great soldier, an excellent one actually. But he's not what you would call social."

Kelly glared at him.

"So what?! He's not a social butterfly. He's still human; he bleeds the same thing you do."

"Blood? Yes, so what? Just because he has blood running through him that doesn't make him human. He never removes his helmet not like you all do. He keeps to himself and doesn't engage in conversation unless spoken to or in a meeting in which he believes his opinion would do well. He may have blood but he certainly isn't human."

Kelly felt her hand curl into a fist. Fred must have seen this s well because he spoke.

"Kelly, don't do something you're going to regret."

He warned her. Captain Rio Chuckled.

"Yes Kelly don't do something you're going to regret."

She snapped.

"That's it!"

Just as she was about to hit him a strong hand caught her arm.

"Enough."

Master Chief stood beside her. She looked at him and put her hand down.

"Chief I ca-"

He shook his head.

"We'll talk later for now go to 's. Fred go with her."

Fred nodded and led Kelly out of the deck the cadets followed. Captain Rio sighed.

"Thank you Chief."

Master Chief looked at him, then turned and left.
