My First Story- Reditum Forerunners - Prologue

"You have impressed me Human. You have got this far into my ship. Killed many of my Promethean's and yet you will die." Proclaimed the Didact. A cruel grin crept onto his face. "It is Your time to die Master Chief and so shall mark the fall of Humanity and the return of the Forerunners!"

"Not if I have anything to say about it Didact." Grunted Master Chief grunted.

The Didact extended his arm out and levitated the Chief. The Abyss beneath his feet seemed to go down for miles. The thought that this was it. He would die here on the Didact's composer crept into his mind.

"And so the new age begins!" Laughed the Didact.

Then out of the hardlight bridge they stood on Several Cortana's appeared. They grew in number until they surrounded the Didact.

"What no. It Matters not. I Have already won." And by simply opening his closed fist the Didact tossed the Master Chief into the air and down into the Composers Power Source.

"You killed him! YOU KILLED HIM!" All the Little Cortana's flew off the Hardlight Bridge and attacked the Didact. His arms swung around madly as though swatting flies out of his face. He was powerless o the stop the onslaught.

*Meanwhile*

The Master Chief flew through the air. He hit ledges on the way down cracking his bone. His visor was bloodied and cracked. His spirited drowned in the knowledge he would die in the next few seconds.

Then as he flew down into the reactor we managed to change his trajectory by trying to the grab a Hardlight bridge. He smashed into a control panel and was slipping off. However as he did he noticed the reactor gain the in color. His eyes widened.

He had somehow by accidentally smashing into a terminus activated the Start-up sequence for the Composer. All he could do was watch as he fell like an angel from Heaven into the Composer Reactor as it fired down onto the Planet below.

*Meanwhile*

The Didact fell onto his knees. His face armor retracted and he looked up as the numerous AI's merged into one tall Woman. Ribbons of data streamed through her. Her face was a picture of fury incarnate.

"Are you satisfied Ancilla?" The Didact smiled and looked up at Cortana " Are you happy in your Victory? You may have won the day but your Victory is as bitter as defeat."

Cortana looked down on the Didact and squatted.

"I do not care if this is a victory nor a defeat. All I care about is killing you." Smiled Cortana. Her sanity slipping. The Didact shut his eyes ready for the killing blow. Blood trickled out of his mouth and down beneath him. Cortana Lifted her fist.

SSSSSTTTTTKKKKK

A Hardlight blade drove through Cortana's 'back' and her light flickered. She looked up and she began to flicker and saw a Human like Promethean. A Skull Stared down at her with Orange eyes brighter than stars. Little prism like things floated above the Prometheans shoulders and long curved arms went down past its hips. Cortanas eyes fell upon the creatures chest and their lay something so similar to.

No.

It could not be.

The Chest was Spartan Armour but Grey with orange streaks of light.

With that Cortana quickly dissolved before the Promethean could strike.

The Didact opened an eye and looked up.

He took in the sight of this new Promethean.

"Ah, This is something I could not have foreseen or predicated. I thought you invulnerable to the composer but apparently no one really is. Well Master Chief. Welcome to my army."

The Promethean Construct nodded and said "I am not the Master Chief Didact. I am Reclaimers Fire"
