=Hello people of earth its Skylar here I usually don't finish what I start I have a short atttt. Oh look cake! (Goes and eats it.) What was I saying? Oh yeah. This is an au to halo 4 and slight halo 4 forward unto dawn. I do not own halo or lost planet. Wish I diiiiiid. Cookie!

Italics= rampant personalities

(Heart failure!) Joke (most likely)

Thinking is what's killing you. Cortana's rampant personalities said. Cortana flinched at the statement. She already knew that but she had to get John back home or at the very least a covenant settlement. At least then they could steal a ship if they were not friendly. You know the chances of that. Her rampant personalities stated. It's just impossible. It's about the same as picking up a unsc distress beacon right this second! She laughed then suddenly stopped. Are you kidding me! They shouted. What is that? One of the personalities asked. Unknown. Another one said. what are you talking about? Cortana (ai lose their abilities as they make more personalities) asked then she picked something up a signal, and noticed something that the others did not. It's not UNSC. She told the others. Hold on. She thought. The ships turning!. She managed to get a basic scan of the planet with passive sensors. a basic ice planet. But what's unusual is that it's too close to the sun to be an ice planet, curious, but other than that it's basically earth. She told her personalities. While they were distracted she could wake the chief. She initialized the wakening process for John-117 when one of the personalities noticed something. There's an artificial ring around the planet! It said in a raspy voice. Cortana looked again and saw that it was true. But again she saw something the other did not it was not a halo, nor was it ancient. In fact, it looked like it had been made at least twenty years before. She then checked on the waking process on the chief 50% complete. Breathing had increased, heart rate raised, brain functions normal. She began returning power to long dormant ship systems. Doors to the giant cut sealed, atmosphere returned, using thrusters to put the ship into a stable orbit, and gravity came online. By the time everything had gone back to livable conditions the waking process had reached 98% and the chief had begun to wake.

Chief. Was the first thing the master chief John-117 heard. Chief wake up. He groaned, no matter how many times you went in. cryo was unpleasant. What is it? He asked Cortana. Is it rescue? No. she replied. But something did happen. We are approaching a planet. Is it covenant? He asked again. No I don't think so. She told him. But it's not forerunner either she told him but there's a artificial ring construct surrounding the planet but it's not another halo. While the chief was happy that it wasn't a halo. He was also little disappointed. A halo meant that there might be another forerunner key ship that might lead to earth. I rewrote your suit's firmware while you were out she suddenly said pulling him from his thoughts as his HUD turned on. Then the pod opened and he got out. Have a nice nap? She asked. No thanks to your driving. He replied. Really? She said. Nothing original? Thought I'd stick with the classics. He said as he pulled his ma5c out of its place besides his pod. He inspected it then put it on his back for future use. Yank me chief she said and he pulled her chip out of the holo projector. And put it In the back of his helmet the feeling of liquid nitrogen in his brain soon subsiding. What the situation? Am I going to have to preform another atmospheric re-entry? John questioned. No chief, I've managed to get the ship into a stable orbit using thrusters, for now at least. But I'm estimating it will take at least 30 years for the thrusters to run out of fuel if we pace it and another 10 for the orbit to destabilize so we'll be fine. If we got more we could safely preform an atmospheric re-entry. There might be some in the secondary cargo bay. We can check later. John interrupted I want to do something that I should have done before I went into cryo. What chief? Cortana asked. Then she realized something. The flood. She whispered. We need to check, To be sure. He quickly scanned the room for anything useful. He saw an m6g magnum pistol and picked it up, found it had full ammo with 2 extra clips and took it as his backup. Where's the closest backup command center? He asked. One floor down. Cortana replied. I can check the ship's inventory from there as well as do a deep scan of the ship, the outer sensors were on the other side of the ship so other than passive scans. We have no idea on what's on the planet besides some form of intelligent life based on the ring surrounding the planet. How do I get there? Chief asked? Well some areas might have lost pressure. Until I can get to the secondary command center we won't know for sure I've marked out the safest route. Cortana said as a diamond shaped marker appeared on the chief's HUD. Still be careful. The master chief proceeded to exit the cryo room and into one of the many ships systems rooms. This one was a ships diagnostics room. But chief kept moving forward assault rifle at the ready. When he reached the marker he saw a door. Plug me in chief Cortana said in a static like manner, even his HUD was went staticky. But he decided to ignore it for the time being and plugged her into the door. How long have I been out? He asked 4 years 6 months 21 days. She replied. You think were the only ones left? He asked again. Probably not, Cortana stated, with the elites on our side they might have already won. The chief went into deep thought at that he thought at how his friend might be, and then something red flagged in his mind Wait 4 years that would mean that it's been … oh no. Cortana. Chief said worryingly. What chief? Cortana asked. It's been 7 years he deadpanned. There was a long silence after that as they both knew what that meant. Rampancy, a condition that claimed many good AIs. Got it. Cortana finally said. And John pulled Cortana from the door system. He was as alert as he could be but nothing could prepare him for what was on the other side (it's a kitten!) greetings reclaimer! (Aw crud.) A monitor, but this one was different than guilty spark. It was a deep blood red and spoke with a tone of authority and leadership, unlike

Guilty spark oh and had a female voice. I am eventual end 00 of installation 00 also known as the ark. Chief, by this time had his gun pointed at her and had a spare plasma grenade at the ready. I understand that my brother

Guilty spark was at best, not very trustworthy because of rampancy but hear me out. You have 2 minutes. The chief replied thank you reclaimer. My only purpose was to care for humanity as they grew. My secondary purpose was to care for the ark and if need be leave it to care for humanity I was about to leave for installation 04a to investigate when the portal opened and the conglomeration known as the loyalist covenant then the group of separatist covenant with reclaimers came. When Guilty spark accessed the ark's systems I saw that you were the one that destroyed installation 04a. However I saw your reasons were just and I tried to delete Guilty spark but he locked me out but not before I hid the sentinels activation codes from him. But he found most of them when I activated flood protocol. When you're ship landed on installation 04b I moved the eighty sentinels and 5 huragok under my control to the ship and awaited you're return and you know the rest I put the units into sleep mode until atmosphere returned so they would not degrade. That's an interesting story. Cortana went, and then something unexpected happened. Chief why are we listening to this fool she'll just trick us auggggggg. Cortana! The chief practically shouted. Oh dear. End said worryingly. How long has it been since she was made? 7 years the chief replied oh my I guess humanity has not found a way to extend AI life cycles. She continued you mean you can upgrade her? The chief asked. Yes, she replied happily. In the last years of the flood-forerunner war they made many ways for humanity to succeed including how to make the knowledge aka the monitors avoid rampancy I can use that same code to upgrade her. The huragok will take care of her. The chief proceeded to hesitantly pull cortantas chip witch had gone into a sleep mode after the incident. This construct has suffered little damage despite what I gathered what happens when a human construct goes though rampancy. It will take a few hours for the upgrades to complete. My scanners indicate that you are injured. I insist that you be taken to the medical bay. Master Chief despite being a little distrustful of the monitor decided to comply and went to the medical bay. When he got there he saw a huragok tinkering with some of the medical equipment. And some slightly different sentinels less armored and a more sleek design, like it had a different purpose. He assumed that these were medical sentinels. One of the sentinels came up to him and spoke to him in a robotic voice. Greetings reclaimer I am, MS-3500 I will be you're examiner today. Please hold still while I scan you. A blue beam scanned him (like the didacts but blue) after it finished it said please lie on the table while we initialize the procedure of repairing and upgrading you and your augmentations. Wait what? The chief said confused. Yes, not only ordered for you to be healed but also for us to upgrade your augmentations. Do not worry the librarian perfected this technique before she left us and activated the rings. You will not die to these augmentations. And according to Eventual End you will be complete by the time your construct is also upgraded. Chief decided trust MS and removed his armor and got on the table MS injected him with something and he began to feel drowsy. The last thing he heard from MS was, when you wake you will be stronger than ever, you'll need it.

Thirty years earlier e.d. city dome

Wayne don't be a hero fall back to secondary positions! Wayne was frustrated he had just saved an entire squad of men and his father wanted him to pull out. He sighed his father was only thinking the best of him he retreated to the secondary position. Ten minutes later: okay everyone here? Gale Holden called. Pretty much gale. One of his men yelled. Wayne just has to get here. Another one said as Wayne entered. Hey dad! Wayne called. Wayne. His dad acknowledged. So we have the location of the green eye in the city dome, gale started, according to Intel provided by nevec the green eye is currently hibernating with a few dongos defending it we can easily kill it without many deaths. Any questions? Good, let's go. Wayne was deep in thought as they made their way to the city dome. The special ops troops were preforming their last minute preps; some were praying, some were writing to their wives and the new guys were finalizing their wills. Most likely only half would make it back alive. Less would make it out unscathed. Wayne had his own way of calming his nerves, tinkering with his harmonizer his dad had given him his own upgrade to modify any VS he used. Then his dad sent a message to the entire team. Split up into 2 groups, a squad, and b squad well meet up in the dome. And the second osprey (I know I know but I just think that they should be here) veered off to the other side of the dome. Soon after they landed he opened the door to the dome, and after everyone was in he shut it. Use the grappling hook to grab to the ledge! Wayne's father called to him. After he got to the next level he waited for his father to open the door. The war with the akrid had gone on for more than 150 years and things were not any better, but they couldn't get worse. Got it! Wayne's dad reported. Let's go! The squad was in a maintenance corridor that was on lockdown. We have to blow the access hatch to get to the main corridor, stay clear. Wayne's father told everyone. 30 seconds later the charges blew and everyone grappled down to the ground floor Wayne had just gotten down when the telltale rumbling of a dongo pack came. Everyone prepped their machine guns then two dongos rolled in and attacked, but they quickly dispersed them with a hail of fire and grenades and they continue. Wayne collected the thermal energy and moved forward into the main city dome area. Which was swarming with trillid. Activate that data post to confirm the location of b team, Gale told Wayne, we'll cover you. Wayne ran to the other side of the street, knelt next to the data post, and got out his special PDA. This PDA was given to him by his father; it could activate any data post twice as fast as any other PDA, and could survive a dongo rolling over it. Soon the post was activated and the radar came online. Then suddenly (is this a kitten?) the green eye (why?) came bursting though the wall. Several soldier ran off, that things huge! One cried. That's above my pay grade! Another one yelled Wayne just stood his ground, that thing's huge! He thought, how are we supposed to kill it? Wayne! Gale called get to the VS and Wayne ran as fast as possible. Over here! One soldier called, we can get to the VS platform through here! Wayne climbed the stairs as fast as possible; he saw several troops hopelessly try to stop the green eye. When he finally got there he was extremely out of breaths and only half t-Eng. A data post was next to a ptx-40 and Wayne activated it to get its thermal energy just as gale arrived. Get in your VS, hurry! He yelled and entered his ptx-40a. Wayne got into the ptx-40, exited the hanger and waited. Then as suddenly as last time the green eye busted the wall down got up on its back legs and blew ice at a poor soldier who did not dash fast enough. The green eye was advancing and Wayne, and gale were running out of room to run then the worst thing happened he ran out of ammo. The green eye noticed this and prepared another ice breath. Seeing what green eye was about to do gale pushed his son out of the way and took the brunt of the blast but Wayne's VS was still heavily damaged. The green eye reared up for another assault and crushed gales vs. nooo! Wayne screamed

3 hours later just outside the city dome Wayne had barely held together. Both him and the VS. At least it got me this far, Wayne thought, the only way I'll ever get out of this is if someone finds me. Thermal energy depleted. the AI reported, thanks for nothing then he told the fading ai, affirmative. It replied. He chuckled well at least I know it can't get worse. He said as he drifted to sleep, I'm going to regret saying that aren't I?

When Cortana reactivated herself she immediately noticed something the absents of the constant voices of rampancy, and then she noticed that she had practically infinite storage space and the entire knowledge of forerunner history. The next thing she noticed was it took her less time than it had on reach when she first came online. After all this she noticed someone was looking at her with a familiar eye. Hello, cortana said to Eventual End, sorry about that back there. Do not worry, End told her, just follow me. How? Cortana asked. Then a sentinel came with something attached to its head that looked like a holo projector this, End started, is a mobile sentinel ai platform made by my huragok with spare parts on your ship. Come with me. She followed the forerunner ai to the med bay where the chief was putting on his helmet she quickly scanned his wait she thought this can't be right she scanned again it was true his augmentations had been increased 300% and his molnir had been upgraded probably by the huragok. What do we have at our disposal? Chief asked strait off the bat she checked the ships secondary cargo bay inventory; 10.000 gallons thruster fuel, 5000 assault rifle rounds with 50 assault rifles 7000 br rifles with 30 brs, 4000 sniper clips with 12 snipers (long list short they have a lot of stuff) yes, Eventual End said after all this, according to my sensors with the fuel sealing the gigantic hole in your ship, we will be able to safely enter the atmosphere, but by my calculations it will take two weeks

Surface

Where am I?

Relax you're safe we found you frozen in your VS its am miracle your alive.
