Year 2558. Master chief wonders through the dessert on an uncharted, unheard of halo ring. He has flashes of memories of him with Cortana, making him crush his fist tightly. He shakes off the thoughts and continues to walk, weak and battle damaged. After some time he comes to a hault at a ditch, too massive to be natural, although nothing here is natural. He crouches down and slides down to the bottom. He stops abruptly, hitting himself into a panel. He stands over it and moves his hand onto it. As he does so, it lights up a blood red and the ground starts to tremble. He turns to climb out of the ditch but he is hit by more memories of Cortana slowing him down "You did that on purpose" she says. Suddenly a gigantic leg bursts out of the ground destroying nearby trees and buildings. However it is not the only leg, 3 more explode out of the ground all of them crashing onto the ground. Then they begin to lift the massive body they are attached to, Chief tries to get off of the monstrous machine, but it's too late. It is now standing at 100ft tall and 400ft in length and width. Another part of the ground trembles and as Chief regains his position he is horrified to see more of these machines all standing still. He looks down at his feet and sees a hatch, with all his strength he pulls at it, but it doesn't budge. He takes a bit more of a drastic measure and pulls out a magnum firing 2 shots into specific points on the hatch. It clicks and Chief then rips the hatch off, he quickly jumps into the machine. In one move he scouts the room. He is met with something so unexpected, that he freezes in place. Around him are thousands of cryro chambers each filled with a forerunner. Chief turns around to leave. Suddenly a small probe similar to a monitor for the machine was in front of him, it was small and didn't speak it scanned Chief. Once the scan was complete which took next to no time, the machine and the ones around the entire ring gained full power. The cryo chambers opened and the forerunners returned...
