Hey guys it is I ArkhamTurtle11, as you can tell I changed my user name for purposes you don't need to know. On another note I am quite happy with the feedback I'm getting last I checked I got three favorites after one chapter that is quite the achievement for me. Well that's all from me time for the story. And yes I know I'm off to a bad start but first I just need to get into the feel of things and then updates will be more scheduled. Maybe.

Chapter One: How to share your body

Darkness. That was all Erik saw and it went on for miles, maybe even farther. But that didn't last long eventually he was quickly traveling through all of his memories, his life was flashing before his eyes before it came to an abrupt stop. what the heck is going on here? Maybe my brain bro-. A couple of feet away from Erik was the Flood form that killed him. "HEY! YOU!" The Flood form turned to look at him and for some reason he knew it was surprised even tough it didn't have a face. "What the hell are you doing here looking through my memories?" He inquired.

"You are not supposed to be here." It said more to itself than to him.

Erik looked quite offended. "Me? I'm not supposed to be here? I'm not supposed to be in my own body? Listen dude I think you got it all wrong, you see you're not supposed to be here." Erik gestured towards the empty clearing they resided in at the moment.

"You are an anomaly, this may cause problems, no, this WILL cause problems." It thought aloud completely ignoring him.

"Did your mother ever tell you it's rude to ignore someone when they're talking to you?" Erik asked. The Flood form looked straight at him. "Probably never should have said that." He mumbled. The Flood form slowly walked up to Erik until its face was mere inches away from his.

"I do not have a mother." It stated before turning around to continue mumbling to itself. "How did this happen? Has this happened before? If not the Gravemind will be severely disappointed in me, and I do not want that to happen." The Flood form continued to incoherently mumble things that Erik could slightly understand.

So this is what it's like to get infected by the Flood. Pretty weird now that I think about it, sharing my body with something else. Erik involuntary shivered at the thought of two beings sharing one vessel. The one thing that Erik and the Flood form didn't notice was that there was another Flood combat form screaming orders right into their faces. Great, I just admitted that I'm sharing a body with a zombie plant. I hate my life.

"Your life had ended the minute I attached to you Erik Arkos." The Flood form said suddenly as if it read his mind, which surprised Erik. "Since we are connected I am capable of looking through your memories but if you're alive it means that you may be possible of doing the same with me." It explained.

"Shouldn't we start listening to this guy? Because he looks like he's about to kick me into low orbit and I don't want that to happen." Erik suggested. The Flood form nodded its head in agreement.

Flood Erik was snapped out of his daze as he looked straight at the Flood form that was screaming at him. "I have been screaming to get your attention for the past ten minutes." It exclaimed in an unknown language that Erik could somehow understand. "What have you been doing while I was trying to gain your attention brother?"

Erik's mouth moved of its own accord. "I have been thinking about how delighted the Gravemind will be once he has seen what we have done to this pathetic human colony." The Flood answered. Hey! Erik screamed in the Flood forms head, offended. "What is it you would like for me to do, brother?"

"Apparently there are stragglers throughout this colony and they are all building settlements all across the planet, keeping us at bay. We need to find a way to take them all down and welcome them into the warm embrace of the Gravemind." The Flood form explained. First off this is like your typical zombie apocalypse story, which is awesome, and second Flood aren't warm. Erik said. Silence. The Flood form ordered. "Which is why I will be sending you to scout out the area around some of these settlements just remember do not attack unless absolutely necessary, they may not be as powerful as the demon the Master Chief but there numbers is what makes them strong."

Flood Erik nodded in understanding. "I shall bring some others with me to attack the pathetic humans." Still here you know! And I take that very offensively! Erik screamed. Hey wait a minute how're human settlements built so fast? Erik wondered. The Flood form ignored him. "I will gather four others to attack one of the human settlements."

"What is our goal brother?" One of the forms asked.

"Our goal is to attack one of the settlements of the f-" Flood Erik stopped mid sentence. To the others it looked as though he immediately remembered something or something else grabbed his attention. What are you doing Erik Arkos? The Flood form questioned.

Stopping you from insulting my race. Erik countered.

You are no longer human; you are Flood now just embrace the change before I forcibly take control. The Flood warned.

If you can take control why don't you continue debriefing these guys then? Erik asked smugly.

Silence.

Silence was all the Flood forms around heard until Flood Erik made a grunting noise and continued with his debriefing as if nothing happened. "Our goal is to attack one of the settlements of the," he stopped to shudder in disgust. "Amazing humans before they become to awesome for our fungal might." The others looked at him as if he became a Forerunner.

"Excuse me brother, but did you say the humans were awesome?" One of them asked incredulously.

"NO! I did not. Now move before I decide to leave you behind and bring someone else so that they can gain the glory of killing the humans." Flood Erik replied.

Three Hours Later

44 bottles of beer on the wall take one down pass it around 43 bottles of beer on the wall. Erik sang for what felt like the one-thousandth time to the Flood form.

"Please stop before I make you stop, Erik Arkos." The Flood form threatened.

You know what? You need to stop calling me that it sounds weird and you wanna know something else you need a name. How about Noah? Noah sounds good and in a way it's kind of ironic considering you're a Flood and Noah had to survive against one. Erik decided.

"I have no use for a name." Noah said.

Too bad, you shall now be known as Noah the Flood. It sounds good. Erik started to talk to himself much to the satisfaction of Noah. "Brothers, we have reached the settlement known as 'Blood Gulch' remember stay in the shadows we shall use stealth to figure out their numbers and strength once we have a sound estimate we will meet back here to make out a plan, once that is done," Noah smashed his fist into an open palm. "We shall strike."

The four Flood forms and Noah split up to different directions to find out exactly what the humans were capable of and how successful their mission would be. After a couple of minutes Noah finally found all of the information he thought would suffice the humans had managed to grab, which was very surprising to Erik, one Warthog, a tank with a built in A.I. apparently called Sheila, some assault rifles, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, and most surprising out of everything an energy sword. Some of the people they were sent to kill weren't as impressive though. They seemed to wear color-coded clothing but in different shades of either blue or red whilst others wore completely different colors, of the ones not wearing anything color coded was a man with black hair and fair skin who looked as though he had been in the military, he wears mainly black clothing with yellow as a secondary color, from what Erik has heard his name is David Washington. Another person without color-coded clothing was a Hispanic looking man, he wore black jeans with a brown leather jacket on top of a white shirt, and his name is Lopez, Erik didn't catch his last name. Another man in none color-coded clothing looked small and meek compared to the others, he looked as though he had never even been in a fight. The others called him Frank DuFrense or 'Doc'. The last person not in color-coded clothing was an attractive woman with blond hair and grey eyes, she also seemed to be the complete opposite of Frank considering the fact that she radiates confidence and that she would bash your head in with your own skull even if it isn't physically possible if you looked at her wrong. He learned that her name was Alison Texas. Erik found it weird that she and David had similar last name to two states on Earth.

The people in either red or something red related clothing was probably the most disappointing group of survivors Erik has ever seen. The first one he noticed was a man with a shotgun and a southern accent, he wore blue jeans and a red jacket, his hair was buzz cut and he had brown eyes so dark they looked black. Apparently he was only known by the moniker 'Sarge'. The next person he noticed stuck out compared to the others for two reasons: One he wore a bright pink shirt, which Erik found stupid.

Meanwhile in the Hyperbolic time chamber

Vegeta sneezed hard causing him to fly back into Trunks while he trained to become a Super Saiyan Grade 2 to battle Cell. "What was that for?" He asked.

"I felt someone insult the color pink." Vegeta growled lowly before he continued to train at his part of the chamber causing Trunks to sweat drop.

Back with Erik

And he was also very bubbly and childish compared to the others constantly asking someone in orange what headlight fluid looked like. There's no such thing as headlight fluid. He learned that his name was Franklin Delano; the others just called him 'Donut'. Next was the man in orange. The first thing Erik noticed about him was that he was chubby; his name was Dexter Grif. The man in maroon clothing looked like a stereotypical nerd with his glasses, freckles, and constant talk about some computer game called unggoy farmer. Currently he was bragging about how he knocked someone named Mishak Miradi off of the leader board. His name is Dick Simmons. He dubbed these guys as 'The Red Team'

Next up was a group he dubbed 'The Blue Team' he noticed a man with brown hair, a growing beard, and emerald green eyes. He wore dark blue jeans and a cobalt hoodie. His name is Leonard Church. The next person Noah and Erik found was possibly the dumbest person in the entire galaxy, and his name is Michael Caboose. He wore a blue shirt with a rooster and a pair of wind up teeth on it; he also seemed very close with the A.I. in the tank. After him they found an African American man in aqua blue clothing going by the name Lavernius Tucker. Lastly he noticed a red headed woman with the same emerald eyes as Church. Probably related. Erik added. She wore a cyan colored shirt. Erik later learned that her name was Carolina Church meaning that she was related to Church.

Inside Erik/Noah's head

"Okay so Tex, Washington, and Carolina seem to be the most dangerous while the doc and Donut are most likely the complete opposite." Erik inputted to Noah.

"Agreed. I shall tell the others about our information that I found." Noah replied.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute there buddy the information you found? Don't you mean us as in you and I?"Erik asked.

"In case you did not notice Erik this is my body. Meaning I did all of the work to gather this information, not you." Noah added as if it were common knowledge.

"Who's body was it at the beginning though?" Erik stopped his ranting once something very important finally crossed his mind. "Wait Noah, how long was I out?"

"Why do you ask that?" Noah inquired interested to know why Erik would stop the argument abruptly.

"Because when you grabbed me this outbreak barely started and shortly after I woke up I was told to attack a human settlement and for some weird reason these guys already have an arsenal of weaponry along with a Warthog and a tank. So I'll ask you one more time. How long was I out?"Erik asked fearing what the answer may be.

"Three months." Noah stated firmly. Erik felt like he was run over by a Warthog, which would probably happen If this group of survivors managed to get into there Warthog and run him over with it. "Erik are you Okay? Erik?" Noah asked repeatedly.

"Ah crap, wait I thought it only took a couple of minutes for you to take over bodies?" Erik asked.

"Normally it does but as we found out earlier you are quite the anomaly." Noah added.

"So you're saying that there could be more things you and I can do that no other Flood form can?" Erik asked.

"Yes." Noah replied. "Now I believe we've wasted enough time questioning what you and I can do that makes us special because now we need to regroup and plan on how to kill all of these pathetic humans." The last thing Noah felt was his entire body seizing up as if a giant had him its grasp.

"What'd I tell you about insulting my race?"

So that's the end of this chapter. Yes I know I didn't follow my schedule I was just lazy so I'll break schedule every now and again but other than that what do you think about this chapter? How did you like that little cut to Dragon Ball Z? And do you guys want the Red vs Blue characters to become regulars in this story? Well just vote on the poll that I'm going to set up, it'll go down on Saturday. And lastly did any of you catch the little nod I did to Hunt the Truth? That's all from me goodbye all of you awesome people.
