Alright, so I decided to rewrite my first fanfic. Honestly, it could use a little work, as some of you have told me. Let me know what you think of this updated chapter! thank you!

Mars

A troop of Vex soldiers were moving through a nearby cave. The least probable thing that the system expected would happen was for a Guardian to come barreling through on a Sparrow, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Said Guardian would repeat the action to several other groups, before finally crashing through a Minotaur, some loose gravel, and a sheet-metal wall.

'"Whoo-ho-ho! That was awesome!" Ghost yelled in Tetsuya's head.

"Yeah, but Holliday's gonna kill us for wrecking this thing," Tetsuya replied, "but yeah, it was awesome. Anyways, let's get back to the Tower. Can't wait to see what this thing does."

"You and me both, buddy." Ghost replied.

Of course Ghost was pissed. Instead of telling the Vanguard what they had found, Tetsuya had gotten it into his head to augment his jumpship's warp core with the stolen tech. "I mean, come on, seriously?" he said, irritation evident in his voice. "This is stuff that the Vex considered experimental, and you think it's a good idea to use it on your warp core? This isn't like making the Outbreak Prime, ya know."

Tetsuya rolled his eyes. "Come on, what's the worst that could happen?"

Ghost wanted to scream. "Now you've done it! The moment you say that, something's gonna go wrong! Don't jinx us further!" True, his Guardian might be a genius Warlock, but he had a habit of acting as reckless as a Hunter and a Titan combined.

"Look, if worst comes to worst, we just get yelled at by Holliday." In response, Ghost just rolled his eye.

"Tetsuya? Dude? Hello? ohforgod's... WAKE UP!" Ghost's voice yelled. Tetsuya shot up, and promptly banged his head on the roof of his jumpship's cockpit.

Rubbing the brand new lump on his cranium, he asked, "So, uh… what happened? Last thing I remember was activating the core and blacking out."

Ghost glared at him. "Well, looks like that bright idea of yours landed us in a different universe," he said, gesturing to the window.

Tetsuya glanced through, then back at Ghost. "It's Earth. So what?" Ghost highlighted the various satellites orbiting the planet. "Wait, satellites?"

"Ayup. I've been piggybacking on the signals in order to figure out where we are. As far as I can tell, this place is different from home by miles," Ghost replied, "however, I can't confirm my 'alternate-universe' theory unless I get some more readings. Unfortunately, we have to get closer."

"How close?"

"Surface." Tetsuya raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I managed to snag some disguises for you. You should be fine… for the most part."

"'For the most part?'" Tetsuya asked. In response, Ghost pulled up a mirror hologram. "Whoa, what the hell?" Tetsuya said, startled. His hair had gone from black to a silver-white, and his eyes had gone from steel-grey to magenta.

"Your new look aside, you'll be able to blend in with the rest of the general populace. Some people might stare, but you should be safe."

Tetsuya nodded. "Okay. Take us down."

Overwatch HQ, Switzerland.

Winston had been staying up way too late plugging away at the console in his quarters. Angela had been giving him hell about it. He was just about to turn in for the night when an alert popped up on-screen. "Unidentified object entering atmosphere?" He muttered to himself, "Whatever could that mean? Athena, pull up all readings of said unidentified object." In response, various satellite images appeared on-screen.

"Winston, the spacecraft appears to be of alien make. No known human organizations have the resources to be able to construct something such as this, " Athena said, making a conjecture.

"Hmm. Keep tabs on it. Based on its trajectory, where do you think it'll land?"

"At the time of discovery, trajectory places it somewhere in South America. Any further narrowing down of the destination is impossible at this point in time."

Winston nodded, then yawned. "Let Morrison know too. Notify me if anything changes. I'm going to hit the hay."

Athena's avatar pulsed in acknowledgement.

And there we go! the rewritten first chapter! Yeah, I know, I'm sorry for going so long without an update, but it's all good now! I'll be rewriting the rest of the story to update this, so please let me know what you think!

R&R!
