Book 1 Legacy Rising: The Beginning Chapter 1: Operation: Journey, Start

1530 hours, June 10th, 2633 Epsilon Eridani System, High Orbit over Reach Battlegroup Protector, UNSC Hyperious

Reach, a fortress world that is the shield and doorway to Earth and over Reach is a small fleet of warships with five large vessels. The flagship of the fleet is the near 3km long vessels with more firepower then and other ship in the in the class or size in the UNSC (size in case of the Swords of Sanghileos), next with the on of only seven currently active Ultracarrier-classes UNSC Enterprise with it being the latest Reincarnation of the name. UNSC Enterprise is a Delmont-Class Ultracarrier, the largest carrier in the UNSC navy 'sans the Infinity class. After the Enterprise are the UNSC Deucalion and Honor, both are Honor-class Battleships along with the UNSC Alvalon, Soldier-Class Super-Heavy Battleship.

Surrounding all five vessels are around 70-90 ships, all are new classes ranging from the smaller classes like the Mako-Class Light Corvettes to some of the larger class like the newly arrived and newly christened Emblem Flame-Class Dreadnought along with three more battleships eventhought the Hyperious is the Flagship of the fleet.

On board the Hyperious, a armored figure stood at the front of the bridge. Standing at a solid six feet, Commander Alexander Crossfare is one of the shortest Spartans, he had his helmet off to show his unique features. His hair is snow white with a odd-colored eyes with left being Brilliant Emerald Green and right being Deep Sapphire Blue. He also has a scar going down from the corner of his left eye and down to half way of his right upper leg. The scar is from an elite zealot during a duel when Alex challenge the zealot to a duel but what ever happens after the duel are not fully disclosed. Alex's armor is an advanced form of his old armor from the days of the Human/Covenant war.

"Beta, is the Trans-Dimensional Space-Fold Drive operational?" Alex asks his personal and Hyperious' AI Beta who looks like someone from a anime or a featasy VRMMORPG games and is silver in color.

"Yes commander, also the fleet is now ready for the jump" Beta called out.

"Ok. Is the admiral on board? I need to make sure that our guests are comfortable."

"Admiral Eisenhower is on board, and Orion 2 and 3 are escorting him here as we speak. Should I tell him that your are checking on the ambassador?"

"Yes, please do so. Caption Maxcroft, you have the bridge until the admiral arrives." with that, Alex left the bridge to visit the ambassador who happens to be his mother Misazuki Crossfare.

After a 15 minute walk, Alex knocked on the door to the guests quarters and he heard a soft voice on the other side. "It's unlocked" as the young commander enters sees a middle aged woman that looks like in her late-teens to mid-twenty's, she is also 5'11". She has a pale to tan completion and long silky black hair that goes down to her knees with bright green eyes Waring a Shinto priestess outfit. This woman is Alex's mother, High Priestess Misazuki Tsutamitsuchi (or Crossfare if Alex's father is around) sitting with four of her bodyguards in the four corners. The ambassador is not alone, Alex see nearly all of his sisters with the exception of the twin-sister/2IC who was training all of the new spartan fours as well as new spartan 2's before he speaks.

"Ma'am, just here to make sure that every one are conferrable." "We'er fine Alex and please refer to me as your mother when we are together." as Misazuki asked to refrain him to call ma'am.

"Sorry, still on duty until I am relieved but with this operation, I doubt that Victor will let me have some time off because I am the one that created the TDSF Drive and he does need me to make sure that it does not go off and we lose much of the famed units that are on board."

"OK, but make sure to visit us when ever you have time OK." His mother said while giving him a warm smiled.

"OK mom, I will" Alex replied back while slightly defeated as he heads back to the bridge.

After fifteen minutes, Alex reaching the bridge and he spotted Vice Admiral Victor R. Eisenhower. Victor is a 76 year old man with quite the service record and his family being a navy family with him being the decendant of Dwight D. Esienhower, the supreme commander of the Allied forces during World War II.

The admiral stands at 6'11", he has dark brown hair with a bit of grey on the edges and dark green eyes. The war veteran heard the doors open and turn to see the ships commanding officer.

"Commander, good for to join me and hows our guest doing" "Doing fine sir"

"Go, You and Beta keep tabs on the prototype drive from going boom, three engineering teams are on stand by to repair it if thing go south."

"Sir, ok Beta lets get started" Alex

"Roger that sir" The Silver AI Replied as the two start monitoring the prototype drive.

Outside, the fleet formed up on the Hyperious and gets ready to jump to around 10000 light years from Reach.

The fleet consist of one dreadnought, seven battleships, seven carriers, four battlecruisers, fifteen cruisers, nineteen destroyers, twenty-seven frigates, thirty-nine smaller craft, eleven supply ships, and two of the new smithy-class mobile drydock factory ship. Along with these ships are also a eighteen civilian vessels. The total amount of ships going on the expedition is 150 total ships in all.

In space, all's quiet until a massive rupture opened up in front of the fleet. "All vessels, ahead full" The Admiral ordered and with that the entire fleet enters and the Journey but fate had other plans for the fleet as the rupture closes.
