Chapter one: The Converging Forces
Installation-04 Control Center
"Good. The installation should be ready to fire in a few more days without complications." concluded the floating mechanical orb.
"We don't have a god-damned three days. This installation needs to fire now!" the battle hardened sergeant demanded.
"But halo is incomplete. The activation will destroy this installation..." sputtered Guilty Spark. He looked at the three soldiers. The only nonhuman of the group, Thel Vadamee, the Arbiter harshly replied," Oracle, if we don't activate this Halo right now! Then the vile Flood will overrun this place"
"Fine. Insert the Index Reclaimer, I will stay behind oversee the rest of the activation." stated Guilty Spark, looking despaired. After the Master Chief inserts the Index, Johnson, Master Chief, and the Arbiter race back to the Forward Unto Dawn. On when the ship takes off, a Scorpion crashes into the Master Chief, trapping him, as Sergeant Johnson was in the front of the ship starting it up. When the ship goes through the decaying portal, the front half with Sergeant Johnson makes it back to Earth, while the Arbiter and Spartan-117 are in the back half is left floating in space.
"I'll put out a distress signal, but it may be years before they find us stated Cortana.
"Wake us when we are needed." the Arbiter and Master Chief said in unison before entering their respective cyro-pods.
Mytos System, Garian Fleet, aboard Garian Flagship Bitter Mercy
"Sir! An object just exited some kind of wormhole anomaly." cried one of the officers on the bridge of the Bitter Mercy.
"Send a drop ship to the object." ordered Overlord Xykerius, "The assault on the new Citadel Federation's new colony will go on as normal.
Mytos System, Federation Interception Team, aboard Citadel Federation dreadnaught
Even thought a four-ship interception team is ineffective in most situations, this time it would be more of overkill. The leading ship, Requiem Vortex, was one of the new Valhalla class dreadnaughts. Armed with three solar cannons, powerful long-range plasma cannons known to destroy ships in one shot, two Doomsday cannons (think about super MAC guns from Halo that can fire one shot every single second), and multiple missile pods armed with Nova nukes and hellfire missiles, and countless other weapons.
Two of the other ships are Katana class destroyers, they were armed with four solaris lasers, two Doomsday cannons, three fusion turrets, each fusion turrets has two rail cannons, two PBCs( particle beam cannons) , and two fusion cannons( high rate of fire, powerful plasma cannons), and hellfire missiles among all the other weapons, but what made the Katana destroyers deadly was the extreme speed and agility it has for a ship, making it deadly it both long-range and close range combat. The last ship is an Imperial Ark super carrier armed with one solar cannon, four doomsday cannons, six solaris lasers, Nova nukes and coutless other weapons.
Spec-ops master and commander of these four ships, Xion was tinkering with the thought of why the Garian Empire attack now, as with every war they start with Citadel Federation the always lose, even if they win a few battles. His mission was to intercept the fleet attacking the colony of Cylon.
All hell is about break loose.
