A/N: This story is a redone version of my original story. Same basic plot just the time line has been changed a little. If anyone fines a grammatical error please put into a review I will fix it next update.

I still don't own anything in the halo games, novels, or other media. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
