Chapter 1: The Rise of a Legend

In the tower inside Mortis, the two most powerful beings talk on the coming future.

The Councilor leans forward on the table as he sighs to the Father of the Force, "You might not get this, but I feel that both our universes are endanger of something terrible" He says

The Father rubbed his beard as he circles him, "I see your worry, but from what?" he asked. The Councilor grew angry and slams his fist on the table, "You know what! She's more powerful than my Didact and your children, she destroyed my army while she killed your Force World" He says as he gets up. "I know" the Father says, "She even took control of the entire Flood hoard, summoning them everywhere she wants" Councilor

"I know, the Ultimate one is too powerful. If we can't kill him, then we'll imprison him" the Father says. "With what? The Councilor asked, the Father pulls out a blade. "The Dagger of the Universe" he says, he then hands it to the Councilor. "I must be locked away with the being, maybe sway her back to me once again" the Father says in sadness. But then a female figure was formed, "She's here, you must leave, Now!" the Father commanded as she charged him. The Councilor soon ran.

Outside the temple, his shuttle takes off as the temple explodes. He watches as the bubble that surrounds the temple grows, he knows if he fail to leave, he'll be trapped with them. He pressed on his controller and increased speed, soon reaching space as his Capital Ship moves towards him.

"Sir, what's going on with the Planet?" the Shipmaster asked, "Mortis will no long be accessed by us anymore" the Councilor says as his ship lands. Soon the ship turns away from the planet as the ship jumps. One of the crewmen walks up to him, "What is that?" he asked. "Our future and salvation" Councilor says.

After he returns back to the Shield World, he walks into his wife's lab as she is studying a new lifeform. "Councilor? What are you doing here?" he asked, the Councilor placed the knife down.

"My love..." he says as he hugs her, the scientist turns to him.

"I heard about Mortis and that's why I made something" She opens the curtain to show a human male, the Councilor looks at him.

"What is he?" he asked, "My latest study, he's the Mantle" She says as she opens the pad.

"Cloned?" he asked, she shook her head. "He's not cloned, but a normal creature" she says as she leans over him. "He'll be the savior of our universe, and he'll be everyone's salvation" She says as she wakes him. His eyes soon open, turning slowly turning red.

250,000 years later

After the war between the Forerunners and the Force Sensitives, the Flood rose against the weaken Forerunners. After centuries of costly victories and defeats, the Forerunners' has fallen. Once the Halo Rings fired, Humanity has evolved. Every 100 years, a 'Chosen One' has risen and fought in countless wars against its enemies, before dying in glory. But as each 100 years pass, the evil forces grows stronger.

The year is 2531, Humanity is soon placed in a War for Survival against the ruthless and religious Covenant. Arcadia became the main target and the Human military called the United Nations Space Command must defend, or millions would die.

In the horizon, five D77-TC Pelicans flew passby as they head to an evacuation zone thats under attack. Inside the leading Dropship, the Spartans arm up as the fight is about to begin.

"John, what are we doing again?" Kelly asked as she activates her EVA helmet. John was quiet as the doors open, he then turn to her as she calls his name.

"What did you say?" He asked, Kelly sighs as she stand up and grabs her DMR. "What's the plan?" she asked.

John pulls out his datapad and calls his brothers and sisters to huddle. "Fred will target any armor that's near the transport craft, Me and Kelly will look out for any survivors in the area. Linda, I need you to take out any straggers that gets close to us" He says as he close the pad.

"Sounds simple enough, and the Marines?" Fred asked as he takes his Rocket Launcher, "Cover fire and clear any area thats within 20 to 30 kilos from us" John says as the other four Pelicans fly away.

As their Pelican lands, John and Kelly hopped out and began running to the craft. As they got closer, they see an Golden Elite holding a baby by the blanket as the enemy prepares to slice him in half. John quickly fires his Assault Rifle, breaking his shields. Kelly then fired her DMR at it, taking it out with a headshot. The infant began to cry as he dropped to the ground, they soon moved in and checked the Elite's body. As John checked the body, Kelly picked up the child.

"John, have you found the parents yet?" she asked as she calms him down. John checks the pulse of the woman as he scans her body. "Lisa Forgo... Deceased" it says, he then checked the man's pulse of the man thats next to her. "Lucas Forgo... Deceased" it says as it showed the reason why.

"No, they're both dead" he says as he looks to her. Kelly craddled the infant, "But we can't leave him behind" she says as the baby slept.

John walks up to her and checks the tab on the infant's arm, "James Michael Forgo" he says. He then contacts Halsey, "This is John-117, we found a child and both parents are dead" he says.

Halsey used John's helmet cam to look at the baby, she then noticed something special in him. "John, take the child back with you. You have a new brother" she says, he nods and turn to Kelly.

"So what did she say?" She asked, John tickles the infant. "We have a new brother in our family" he says as the Pelican lands, they soon hopped on as it takes off.

21 years later

2552, Reach has fallen. Earth is the last hope for humanity, so its well guarded for it. A Paris-class Frigate jumps into the system as it heads for the Orbital Station, the ship soon locks into the Airlocks as the door opens. Soon a Captain walks out in his modified power armor as he head to the corridor, he looks around as everyone applaud him. Soon the door opens to Lord Terrence Hood, Miranda Keyes, John-117, Sergeant Avery Johnson, and the crew of the station.

He steps next to John, "You're late" he says. The Captain smiles as he took off his ODST helmet, "I say I'm coming in fashionably late" he says. Causing John to shake his head, they both soon turn to Keyes as she was given her Father's medal.

Soon the alarm goes off as a small Covenant Fleet jumps into the system, they soon attack the UNSC forces as boarding parties enter the station.

John turns to Avery, "I need a weapon" he says. Avery grins to the Spartan, "Right this way. James, do you need one?" he asked.

James pulls out his SMG from his hip and his sword from his back, "Don't worry, I already have one" he says as the group leave the room. James stops as he looks to the viewing window to see several warships move into battle.

I want to say thank you to everyone that understand me. I feel very confident and very joyful for all the support given and the respectful comments sent.
