AN: This is my first Fan fic, ill try to make humanity as badass as i can, without making them OP, expect flood, trigger-happy turians and batarians(destroying batarians never gets old xD). Lots of War, also Titans will be present in this fanfic, as well as Cybertronians, robots from Planetary Annihilation(LOTS of combat) I will also add Hyperion Corporation and Atlas( yep, eridium, vaults `n stuff from borderlands atlas will be only in short info, but athena will be added later) you should also expect reapers later in story i will have to mix names of ships from MANY games, sorry but im not creative in this field, you also should know that i made this fanfic in Polish(my first language) so im translating it mostly, it will take some time cuz i have to triple check all grammar errors Anyway, im bringing some characters from halo reach and changing SPARTAN and ORION PROJECT, they will not be created by ONI, if you wonder why reach isnt glassed, its really simple, NOBLE should die if Reach is glassed, AND THEY ARE FUCKING AWESOME!
Ofc. Blue team is better, but still, they will appear in this story, im also adding some events from Tales From The Borderlands, expect AI Handsome Jack. Human-Covie war will not end that fast, it will take a lot longer than 6 months – 5 years where at the end lies about humanity are exposed.
I dont Own Halo, Borderlands, Titan Fall, Transofmers, Planetary Annihilation or Mass effect.

August 10 2552: Fleet Master Thel `Vadamee Discovers Prophet lies along with prophet of Regret, Faith and Cheiftan Tartarus. They immidietly arrest Truth and Mercy for their genocidal crimes and order all fleets to stop their attacks on Humans, saying that they are „Sons of Forerunners"

August 13 2552, Military calendar, high orbit above Reach, UNSC Savannah.
UNSC forces are ready, today they will deliver a powerfull blow to enemy forces, all ships were ready, SPARTANs on stand-by, ODPs(remainig 3) were ready to fire, everyone wanted to make this day meanigfull, they wanted to make Covenant pay for their crimes, and what is a better way to do that than destroy their flag ship?
" All UNSC forces, attention. This is Colonel Holland, Operations: Final Stand will start in 10 min. all personel report to your battle stations, combat alert alpha, be ready man, if we are going to lose Reach, make them pay for it... in their blood."
Suddenly alarms turned on, everyone thought that it was becouse of alert alpha, then AI`s voice said: " Alert, new fleet just entered orbit, multiple slipspace ruptures, over 500 contacts, and one VERY big..."
UNSC Denver. Bridge.
Captain Morenson was in hist early 60`s he thought that he was going to see UNSC delivering a powerfull blow to Covenant, he was so wrong.
" Captain!" shouted his navigator " multiple splipspace ruptures! Over 500 covie ships just jumped into high orbit, along with some sort of super-battlestation."
" Are they making any attempt to attack us?" asked Morenson.
" No sir, they are holding their position, guns powered down, shields at bare minimum" replied suprised LT.
" Captain!" shouted his comm officer " HighComm just ordered us to change target in Operaion: Final Stand, we are to attack that super-structure and... wait that cant be.."
" What is it LT?" asked Officer.
" They are sending some sort of comm transmition, on all chanels."
" Put it through" replied Captain Morenson.
" Aye sir!"
On screens appeared a Sangeili in gold armour.
" Attention all human forces, I am fleet master Thel `Vadamee, do not fire upon us, we came here seeking peace" said Elite
" What that damn xeno is talking about Captain, he is Priority 1 target for all UNSC forces!" said one of the guards near bridge exit.
"I know private, but lets hear the rest." replied Morenson nad moved his attention back to screen,
"You have fought for last 27 years against us, i know its hard to belive us now." continued Thel
" our prophets lied to us, we were told that you are an affront to our gods, that we have to destroy your race, we were so wrong. Prothets of Truth and Mercy lied to us about your role, and when my people refused to swallow this lie, they tried to strip us of everything we had, and then prophet of Regret discovered that what i told them was a truth, he rebelled against truth and mercy, his guards arrested them."
"This is Colonel Urban Holland of the UNSC, i have one question for you elite: what happened with them?" asked Holland.
"They are abord High Charity, at first we wanted to execute them instantly, but i think its better idea to let UNSC do it, after all thay are the reason any of us is here" replied fleet master.
"Wait, you said you wanted peace, you want us to join your Covenant?"
"Correct human."
For few seconds there was no response from anyone on the bridge, then Holland spoke again.
"High Command will have to make a decision about it, but we want Truth and Mercy in our hands, they will be transported to our homeworld were we will execute them in fron of HighComm and our leaders, if you want we can broadcast it to you as well, i will send `Savannah` so they can pick-up HVT`s and transport them to Earth."
"That is acceptable, for now at least, and yes we would like to see that execution as well." said Thel
"That we will do, Holland out"
Everyone throughout UNSC was stunned, peace with covies? Execution of their leaders? It was Morenson who spoke first.
"Alright people, we have a pick-up run to make, be ready to overload reactor if this is all a trap."

April 7 2560. Military calendar. Helios station, orbit of Elphis. R&D test lab.
Handsome Jack was proud of Hyperion, he created corporation so powerful that it survived almost 300 years, now he was about to show results of last 5 years work on Hard-Light Barrier for ships and SPARTANs as well as first set of Eridian weaponry. On VIP gallery was UNSC Fleet Admiral Lord Hood, Arbiter Thel `Vadamee and all Senators and Councilors of ROA.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman, im sure you all know me already, so ill skip the whole:`hi my nane is` part, first you are going to see Eridian Weaponry first." Jacks hologram turned to Halsey
" Hit it doc."
Dr. Catherine Halsey was almost 70 years old, and yet she was the best scientist in ROA space. She nodded in response and pressed some buttons on her holo-screen.
"As you know we were working really hard to reverse-engineer Eridian technology, and we succeded, this is our first set of their weaponry for humanoids." started Jack "It took us very long time mostly because their firing mechanism was something we never sow earlier." large window opened showing simple firing range with a Hyperion SPARTAN in MJOLNIR mk.7 Power Armour.
"Diffrense between our weaponry and Eridian is mostly their projectile type, we are using bullets and plasma, they are using Ion Guns, highly concentrated and increadibly fast ions, capable of disabling electronics, but they are rendered almost safe for organic matter, at lest that is what we belived, as you can see our SPARTAN is outfitted in 2 types of weapons, first is a small version of our first Ion guns for warships, basicly its eridian rifle wis smaller DMG output" he waved to SPARTAN "Pablo, target one, three shots in 30" he turned to VIPs again" fist target will be dog shielded with SPARTAN MJOLNIR mk.6`s shield, observe" he turned to Pablo again.
Everyone saw exactly what they expected, two shots took down MJOLNIR`s shields, third hit test dog, nothing happened.
"As you see our current ion technology is powerfull against shields and safe for organics, now you will witness eridian RIFLE on full power" then everyone focused their attention on firing range."our test subject will be a dead dog this time, you will understand in a minute its shield will be corvett class. SPARTAN Pablo, you may proceed" said Jack.
SPARTAN raised his gun and fired then happened something no one expected, projectile passed right through shield, and impacted on dead body, ingulthing it in sparks which melded his fur and set it on fire, for few seconds, leaving dog with 3rd degree burnes.
Handsome Jack spoke again.
"As you can see Eridian rifle is one-shot one-kill weapon with 500 RPM, normally after testing this technology I would destroy it, its far to powerfull to use by ANYONE except Blue and Noble teams, but we discovered something else, our studies on eridium showed it also grants immunity against eridian weaponry in if small traces are added to Titanium AF alloy, making SPARTANS immune to it" he nodded to Pablo who took out eridian pistol, aim it at his head and fired, 10 times. Each time sparks engulfed his armour, yet he was still standing. Jack smiled and spoke yet again.
"As you can see AFE Titanium as we call it, is immune to eridian weapons, and all types of electricity, its basicly Forerunner armour with small traces of eridium in it, next stop: Hard-Ligh barrier." strange wall of light appeared in front of SPARTAN which just pointed his eridian rifle and shot at it, he was firing for 15 seconds before lowering his gun, shield was still there." as you can see HL barrier is immune to eridian weaponry, but it can be taken out by plasma or kinetic projectiles. Now, I have one last thing to show you: MJOLNIR mk,8 SPARTAN Combat Power Armour, its is outfitted with HL barrier, Titanium AFE Armour, new scannig sestem, our prototype Biomedical foam mk.2 with higher efficiency on burns, portable jet pack, and our biggest addition, Neural Interface," said Hyperion owner proudly.
"Neural Iterface?" asked suprised Thel.
"It alowes owner to move armour with his thoughts, even if you break your spine, you can move in this armour, it also allowes you to form HL barrier in desired shape" replied Jack and nodded to Pablo.
In front of SPARTAN appeared another wall, which shifted to form of human, then again to wall, then it becam a sword and then it disappeared.
"As you can see you can form it into anything you want" he turned to Pablo yet again" alright kiddo, show is over, go get some rest" SPARTAN nodded and left Hyperion firing range.
"We also have TITAN Mechs" Jack`s hologram changed to 3 titans"each has different weapons and uses, but I think they will be a perfect addiotion to ODST, mostly `cuz you can drop `em from orbit., think of it as of bigger ODST`s" Joked Jack.
"I have one more thing to show you, but its meant for Arbiter only" Halsey picked up an energy sword from on of the seats and gave it to Thel, then she spoke.
"This is Elite blade with Eridium core, is as powerfull as eridian rifle you witnessed earlier in tests, you can set it to powerfull stuns if you dont want to kill your enemy, and it will have that effect if you touch his armour, even without piercing it."
Hood looked at blade for few seconds,and when arbiter turned it on and made few swings, Fleet Admiral turned to Handome Jack`s hologram.
"So Mr. Jack" started Hood " how much?"
April 8 2560: After showing results of Hyperion research on HL barrier and Eridium weapons, ROA bought rights to use it in their forces, Hyperion already powerfull, expanded again thanks to gigantic ammout of money and new received ownership of Pandora and Elphis, making it first corporation with its own territory.

November 2570: Hyperion gains a representation in ROA Senate, although it is the most powerfull corporation in ROA, main manufacturer of civilian ships, weapons and robots, it allowes others to make money on outer colonies, with it`s control over economy of ROA Hypeion`s position is safe, no inside fights are made, mostly because of Jack`s promotion policy- you can be promoted only by those 3 steps higher in chain of command, lowering danger of inside fights for control as all admirals rear-admirals and vice-admirals are promoted by him only after showing their full loyalty to Jack and his Ideals.

CODEX:
MAC: The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, also known as Mass Accelerator Cannon, MAC Gun and MAC Cannon, is a large coilgun that serves as the primary offensive weapon for UNSC warships. Larger versions are used as orbital defense platforms. MAC guns are the only non-nuclear weapons in the UNSC arsenal capable of effectively reducing or destroying Covenant capital ships' energy shields. Smaller shipborne versions can take as many as three hits to overload a shield while an orbital platform can put a hole through any Covenant vessel even with fully charged shields. The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon should not be confused with the Railgun, despite their superficial similarities. An Onager-class cannon is capable of disabling a CCS-class battlecruiser, with its shielding down.
MNOLNIR: The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor is a technologically-advanced combat exoskeleton system designed to vastly improve the strength, speed, agility, reflexes and durability of a SPARTAN-II or SPARTAN-III supersoldier in the field of combat
