I know ive been inactive for some time but i learned some news that hit me pretty hard. Freedom Guard, one of the best writers in my opinion, has passed away some time ago. i have read his stories for many years and unfortunately, i wish i could have got to know him as some people have. but this tragedy had made me come to realize that we can't let our talents rot away and wither. im especially guilty since ive been particularly busy with school and work and such... but now ill try to write when i can and hope i can honor his memory.
I've had this idea for some time and want to do a Halo x Star wars cross over. As such im going to do my first chapter a good number of words. I'm taking in original characters as well so please send some ideas in.
Summary: Durring a deep space exploration mission, the USSC (United Species Space Command) had come across a besieged Rebel Alliance shortly after the battle of Yavin. It is up to The Chief and Arbiter to stop the Empire dead in their tracks. Chief made it back to earth after the Ark.
Pairings: There will be some, Chief is up for debate if he's going to have one or not, Arbiter as well but for now i'm going to stick with OC pairings, some will be Xeno/human pairings, don't like don't read. I will have a poll if John or Thel should have pairings so keep an eye out for that.
"Speaking"
'Thoughts'
-telepathy-
=Onto the Story=
It had been 10 years since the destruction of the ark. 7 years since the destruction of the remnant of the covenant and 2 years since the tension between the species had finally been lifted when the USSC had been formed. It had been an uneasy alliance at first but eventually they had finally eased into a comfortable peace. Humanity had begun to rebuild their lost worlds, putting up memorials on each planet on who've they lost during the genocide.
The Master Chief had been promoted to Spartan Commander along side Commander Sarah Palmer. The Spartan 4 Program had been initiated and the recruits were to be trained in war room sessions and trained under John, often times they were pitted against Sangheili Zealots or Special operations to keep the 4's on their toes.
it had been a rough recovery, but they had finally done it and survived everything that had been thrown at humanity and came out on top.
(-Up in the Bridge of the "UNSC Spartan-Class-Defiant")
The Spartan-class capital ship had been created in memory of the Spartans who gave their lives to protect humanity at all costs. Because of their sacrifices the new design of a ship had been commissioned by Admiral Terrance Hood. It was 7 and a half kilometers long, roughly 24,000 feet in length. Outclassing the Infinity class capital ship in terms of size and firepower. Because of the cost however, only two were ever made, the "UNSC Defiant" and the "UNSC Humanities Guardian Angel". The first had been used in protection of diplomatic fleets and exploration missions and the Latter had been set for the protection of earth at all times.
It had been a very long day for Admiral Laskey, he had been doing everything from making sure the ship had been prepared for the long voyage of unexplored space. Unfortunately the Brass didn't want to take any chances with another first contact scenario and are sending a fully armored warship and escorts into the howling depths of space.
"Food and Water had been stocked to capacity" said a helmsman as he was typing a few things away on the computer, breaking Laskey out of his train of thought.
"Ammunition stocked as well Captain" said another helmsman. "We should be under way within the hour" he said as Laskey says nothing but only nods at him.
"Let me know when were ready to depart" He said standing and walking over to the holotable, a chess game he had been playing with Roland, the ships AI. He had looked over the tablebefore moving a piece, the queen to take his rook. Roland had made another move as quick as Laskey had finished making his.
"You know captain i can play a bit more fair to you if you'd like" Roland says as he appeared on the table looking over the play board as Laskey moved another piece, his rook taking a pawn piece.
"Id rather play fairly against natural skill level" he said moving his knight.
"Check" Roland says moving his knight as well. Laskey looked over the board before moving his king away from danger, he however was interrupted by one of the helmsman.
"Were ready to depart" Laskey nodded to Roland to save his game as he went to sit back down in the commanders chair. He had saw the pelicans pulling into the hanger bays of the ship as the command deck was atop of the ship in the middle unlike the under bridge that the Infinity had. "All Pelicans docked, ready to meet up with the rest of the fleet".
"Depart" he said as the dock clamps had released the capital ship, and soon it started to pull away from the planet using its own power, the rumble of the engines as it exited earths atmosphere for the last time as it sped towards the fleet consisting of Paris class frigates as well as destroyers and Marathon Class cruisers and two mobile repair platforms and three carriers.
"All ships checked in and ready for slipspace jump to the edge of space, The Arbiter has sent a message that he will rendezvous with us" Laskey only nodded as he nodded to the navigation officer as the white portals of slipspace opened up as they had soon dissapeared into the blackness of space.
(At the Rendezvous)
The UNSC fleet had soon arrived to see that the Sangheili fleet had been there for some time, it consisting of a large Super Carrier as well as some Cruisers and destroyers. Durring the war a fleet this size would have been able to take a somewhat defended planet but now the
"Were being hailed by the Super Carrier" Laskey nodded to patch him through and soon the video of the Arbiter appeared on the main screen.
"Greetings fleet master" he said putting his fist to his chest in a Sangheili salute before Laskey did the same, a human salute.
"I apologize for being late Thel, we had to finish some minor things but we are ready to depart when you are" he said as the arbiter nods softly.
"Very well... and may the gods guide our travels" he said before the large screen cut off as the started to coordinate their exit destination for slipspace, and their first stop was Andromeda, a galaxy 2.5 million light years away, and soon enough, the fleet was under way, the slipspace portals opening. And with that the crews had went into cryosleep pods for the long journey.
(9 Long Months in Slipspace)
It had been a long nine moths for Roland as he sat in silence but now they had arrived to the outskirts of the galaxy, the closest system could make out had green and vegetation as he started to wake the crew once more. Soon enough the Bridge was bustling with people trying to scan the system to looking over fuel and other miscellaneous things.
"Status Roland" Laskey asked as he had never went into cryosleep since a medical condition prevented him from doing such as he saw the lush green planet.
"Were outside an earth like planet from my scanners that orbits a gas giant, as well as two other habitable planets." he said as he watched the helmsmen working the scanner called out to him.
"Sir! i'm detecting an incoming fleet at .210, should i bring up a visual?"
"Do it"
"Doing it" he said as the triangular shape ships came into view, around 15 if his counting was correct, with fighter escorts and smaller frigates as well, roughly the size of his own cruisers. "Their heading for that small moon" He said pointing to the closest planet to them. Before he could respond orders the large cruisers had started to turn towards the fleet Before they started firing a salvo of lasers towards the fleet. the lasers raced through space as Laskeys eyes shot open.
"Raise shields!" he somewhat yelled as the lasers started to impact his ship, before the sheilds came up, he saw the damage from external cameras, the lasers had exploded when it struck the hull.
"Decks 124 through 127 have lost air pressure and missile pods G through K have been fused shut" said a damage report officer.
"Fleet damage" He asked Roland who seemed to be coordinating the fleet.
"The frigate UNSC Phoenix and UNSC Shock and Awe are reporting Breached hulls and the UNSC Archangel's reactor has been hit, their launching life boats now." Roland said as Laskey watched the the fleet not firing but continuing to advance towards them.
"Their Hailing us" Laskey had nodded for the communnications officer to patch it through and soon enough, a human officer had appeared. "Their human..." he said as the officer seemed to mouth the same before regaining his composure.
"This is a restricted imperial war-zone, you are to power down and wait to be boarded by the order of the Emporer, any attempt to defy will be met with the full might of these ships, as you had just witnessed." Said the captain of the now named imperial fleet.
"As a captain of the UNSC Defiant and Admiral of the USSC Strike fleet i will not relinquish my fleet over to you, especially after Attacking us and suspecting that wed surrender" he said standing his ground looking at his weapons officer and giving a soft nod as the ship began to power weapons.
"Then by the order of the empire you shall be destroyed Rebel scum..." he said as the communications shut off, Laskey stared a moment and realized that he had just started another war, but to be fair they had attacked first and then assume they'd surrender out of fear.
"Contact the Arbiter, let him know the situation" he said as he watched another salvo of lasers headed their way. "Brace for impact" He called out as the majority of the salvo hit the Defiant, its shields flaring as it took the brunt of the impact. "Shield strength?" He called out as he watched the frigates move behind the defiant to avoid the lasers.
"87 percent, MACs at 70 percent and climbing" he said as he watched the fleet move closer.
(Imperial fleet)
"Sir we've disabled one frigate and damaged larger ones, it seems their charging weapons, Railguns" Said one of the officers as the Admiral snorted.
"This shall be quick then with how primitive their weapons are, Keep firing until each ship is nothing but space dust" He said as he watched the salvo of turbo lasers race towards their respective targets, watching as the largest ship preparing their main cannon from the looks of things.
"Sir, Railgun firing" he called out as one of the other Imperator star destroyers was gutted from stem to stern, at the sight of this everyone paused and watched as the reactor went critical and taking the rest of the ship with it.
"Smaller ships firing" He called out as the rounds soon impacted his own ship and and careened into the blackness of space.
"Shields down to 12 percent!" one officer stated in fear as he watched purple missiles head towards his ship.
"Auto turret defenses will handle them, direct all engine power to shields!" he yelled as the plasma missiles impacted the shield, exploding in a brilliant purple bringing down his shields to zero and the plasma began melting the hull.
"Sir! another ship is fi-" they didn't even feel it as the bridge of the star destroyer was destroyed, leaving it a flaming wreck.
(UNSC Defiant)
Weapons officer William Mckenley smirked as he watched the imperial ships decimated by the Mac rounds before he started another firing solution for the large bulk cruiser. "I would have given a months paycheck to see the admirals face from the Mac gutting the capital ship" he called out to the helmsman next to him, Richard Guzman.
"Same here" he said with a matching smirk.
"Sir the enemy is advancing towards us at full speed, well be in a proverbial knife fight in less then a minute!" Said a woman who watched as the star destroyers advanced towards them.
"Ready all Point Defense weapons and Missiles, i want to end this quick" he said knowing that their captains were competent enough to close the distance and nullify the Macs. "I want All Cruisers and Destroyers on the front lines, Destroyers Carriers and Frigates are to Flank and Stay behind the Larger vessels" Laskey ordered.
"Lasers incoming" said another helmsman as the green lasers impacted the shields at a fast rate, watching as one of the frigates, the UNSC Aigaion race towards the ship.
"Hail that UNSC Aigaion" He said as he saw the captain come into view, and one thing he saw was a large piece of metal piercing the captains lung. "Captain Wells, what are you doing?" He asked as the frigate continued to race.
"Our Reactor has been hit and going critical, most of the crew evacuated and i took over controls... I'm sorry Admiral... its been an honor serving with you" He said saluting the Admiral.
"Its been an honor as well... God speed" The communnications cut off and the bridge crew watched as the frigate tore into the star destroyer and the reactor finally went nuclear and tore the ship and the one next to it to pieces.
Soon enough however the last star destroyer was firing against a cruiser. "All ships hold your fire... i want this one boarded... deploy the Prowler with an EMP..." He said watching the small ship head towards the ship cloaked before disabling it with the bomb it had been equipped with, watching the large triangular ship finally grind to a halt.
"Orders sir...?" A weapons officer asked looking at Admiral Laskey.
"Deploy the Spartans"
