While halo is being destroyed, Master Chief zooms by in a warthog with the Arbiter. Then Cortana screams, 90% Chief! Chief drives on a ramp and lands in the ship they were hoping to land on. They escaped halo once more. Then Chief gets knocked down. He begins falling then he grips on to the floor and climbs up. Everything goes white around them. The war was over, but it wasn't all over. Chief finds himself in space and probably even in a different dimension. He couldn't find the Arbiter, he was probably on earth, thought Chief. Cortana interrupts the silence, I can't get a signal so we can't contact the marines. I don't know where we are, but all I know is that we're not somewhere near Earth or the Milky Way. It'll take days, months, maybe even years for them to find us. Well I'm gonna go kill time. Chief goes to one of the pods and opens it then he steps inside. Then the pod closes and Master Chief falls asleep. Cortana sighs then disappears. After a long while the room goes bright and 2 marines appear. WE'VE FOUND HIM! WE'VE FOUND HIM, screams the marines. Then Cortana appears and says Chief there here. Chief doesn't move. Wake him up boys. The marines punch in the code and the pod opens. The Master Chief twitches and then he got up. All he said was, what's going on. The marines said, well it's been 17 years and theirs a new war. It started out when the elites betrayed us and only the red and silver elites remain on our side. The blue and gold are our enemy's. Same with the arbiter. Arbiter, chief thought in confusion. So the hostile elites found grunt, jackal, and hunter survivors. So now there rebuilding there species. Why did they betray us asks Chief. Because the elites found out that there is a room somewhere in the Earth. There is a map room that tells you where a key is and that key will kill every human and allows you to take control of the forerunners. That will give them the power to concur Earth, but it might kill the aliens to. So that's why some elites are with us. Anyhow we sent a spy and he didn't find out where the place is but he did find out that only a forerunner's DNA can activate the map. Then they must be looking for me, Chief interrupts. What do you mean, asked a marine. I mean that when I was in halo I found out that I was a son of a forerunner. So let's go to Earth before they find us. Yes sir, answers the marines. Chief reaches out to get Cortana, but right when his hand was a few inches away, Cortana says, don't die Chief. Don't count on it, says chief. Then he gets Cortana and follows the marines to a pelican. Surprisingly, the door on the other side gets busted down. Then 6 elites blue elites and 2 gold elites with energy swords appeared. They must of followed us, screamed the marines. Here take this chief. The marine handed him an assault riffle, then they hustled to the pelican while the elites shot at him. The marines and chief reached the pelican and chief got to the back and started shooting down a few elites before they could reach it in time. When a gold elite was coming up the pelican soared through space. The pelican turned around and shot at the phantom that the elites rode on. After a few seconds the phantom got exploded along with the mysterious place chief and Cortana were stuck in. See ya bastards, hollered the marine that was piloting. Then they headed toward earth.
