(Great news guys, I am officially quitting all my writing for approximately 5-6 months and I may not even be back after that.)
Well it was fun while it lasted, and I do hope to write to all of you again in the future, I will be still posting a handful of things, and I might finish adding all the new stuff before I leave. To all I say, have a nice day!
BTW There's one last thing I will give to all my readers, go to the new series: Halo Origins: Path to Salvation and it will give you all the need to know, and also because I need to do a rewrite for some of the major stories I have.

Here's our time jump-
XXXXX
2555-December- UCAF and UNSC along with the New Covenant finalise an agreement; all members of these powers were to be independent in their own right. Though a shaky start, the council accepted terms and allowed the UCAF to colonise a few systems within the traverse and into some sectors of space.
2556-January- UCAF begins full scale colonisation efforts into the Attican Traverse and neighbouring systems. The UCAF in colonising are confronted by Batarian colonisation fleets in the Elysium- UCAF (Elysian) system.
Three days after initial confrontation, an armed fleet of ships appeared over Elysian and demanded that the UCAF depart from the region, UCAF defenders intervened and stood off on the opposing fleet.
Conflict erupts from Batarian Homogeny, the UCAF arrive in force and defeat the Batarian forces within the region, a plea is then sent to the council to remove the UCAF, this was later denied.
February- Thom's 7th birthday-
The UCAF and Covenant begin to reinforce colonies along their borders; the council asks the UCAF to stand down major military forces and bring to question why the UCAF is taking said actions. The UCAF reminded the council that their policy on security had always been up to such standards and would not change.
March-
Quarians begin development plans for new AI, the council takes note of the situation and places in their own request, UCAF unsure of action.
Rey-0159 moves out from Thessia to his home on Calista, he was awarded the POW award for longest recorded capture in enemy hands.
April-
Omega- Aria T'loak meets with new colonial arrivals from UCA, the UCA takes control of impoverished regions on Omega, a foot hold on some terms. Aria plans to remove said threat, though fails to accomplish set goals.
August-
Civil war in the Terminus systems, the UCAF border colonies of Holi and Magne near Omega fall under attack from pirates, the UCAF forces begins a major assault against pirates in region.
December-
UCAF and Terminus conflict draws to a close, the UCAF victorious in conflict, Omega still in turmoil with UCAF, Aria calls her forces back.
2556-
January-
Turians uncover unknown ruins at a colony near Tyr, the ruins identified as Forerunner, though unable to find anything significant, they uncover a detailed schematic of set destinations in a small wreckage of the ancient facility.
UCAF colonial fleet begins integration with quarians, the quarian union calls upon the UCAF to aid in colonising efforts in nearby systems, one colony in the Traverse and many in Nova Stratus.
Citadel Council demands a reaffirming to quarian presence in the Traverse and asks for a recall of any set or planned colonies.
February- Thom's 8th birthday
UCAF requests that colonies set for quarians are under the UCAF jurisdiction and were part of colony treaty in affirmation to demands in 2554.
Turians locate another facility in regions near Thessia, though was later discovered by asari, turian excavations locate only one data store, though heavily encrypted for UCAF designs.
Liara T'soni is awarded the Nobel Prize for recent discovery in forerunner archives; the UCA awards her with the first non-human achievement that has aided humanity. Forerunner Trans-light teleportation for long range deployment is achieved.
July-
Salarian scientist Mordin Solus discovers a means of extending the salarian life span; he begins an experimental prototype on himself. Test proved to be successful and he soon finds that he can only live another 50 years, however further improvement is needed on gene testing.
Turian hierarchy begins total excavation of forerunner archives, and manages only to locate another facility, this time near Praxus Delta. Saren Arterius is sent along with a special task force.
August –
UCAF Aspire is sent to investigate on unknown reports of activity near Praxus, they encounter turian fleet led by Saren Arterius, and commander of the Aspire was David Anderson.
September-
UCAF Aspire is engaged in combat with unknown vessels, identified as only geth, though vague on details, Saren's forces are engaged in combat as well, excavation of Site is soon destroyed.
November-
Successful tests on quarian AI, all systems of new AI were completely functional and was declared a success by the UCAF research teams, the new AI sparks controversy in council space, as asari petition for their own.
December-
UCAF records are finally completed, and the UCAF begin full calculation of new military structure and force.
25,000 Spartans- ranged from IV – V
150,000,000 military personnel in active profile
85,000,000 in non-active
Naval capabilities-
19- Dreadnought class under production
Dreadnoughts are ships that range the sizes of 5-9km long and possess the highest amounts of fire power and resources
850- Frigates
550m-750m Medium to Assault class
650- Destroyer class
600m-850m Assault to Defender class
420- Cruiser class
1,250m-2,400m Assault to Heavy class
450 Carriers
2,500m-5,000m Troop carriers- Supply
(Each class has 3-5 different types; I need time to get all these types corrected in a while so wait please.)
The UCAF represented the majority of the UNSC and humanities military capabilities in the galaxy.

2559
January-
Unknown manifesto of Cerberus is released to the galaxy; Jack- Illusive Man- declares that the human race is to rise as a greater power, his own declaration quote:
"…we as humanity are chosen for greatness, we have reached the pinnacle, the apex, the crossroads of revelation, where we as humanity must decide our destiny our fates, the future…"
UNSC and UCAF command are kept on alert to known threats and future actions of the Cerberus Organisation; ONI command begins Spartan HK teams to locate Cerberus.

August-
AI hub is constructed at UCAF Academy on Citadel, the UCAF expand facilities to provide necessary space for hub.
(The Academy is actually part of the embassy on the Citadel- I'll explain later in Ascension Rewrite)
XXXXX
2565
January-
Commander of Crusader Company 5 Karl Norha leads different chapters along with the elements of the Liberators and Vindicator Division to the event, he and others called in for an emergency situation in the Tiberius Prime sector.
Alpha Protocol is initiated- last transmission from UCAF Fleet Faith and Retribution-
"…Halo…"
XXXXX
Few and None-
"Admiral Duran, its halo, there's no doubt about it, the schematics from my records say the exact same, and I've run the designs through my database. The installation is number 07; the region is heavily submerged in ionic and neutron emissions that might be why this facility was never detected by Reverence." Carol stated.
The black haired AI floated in her tank idly looking out into space, her figure only the size of the average human's hand, the woman was based on Haley and looked almost identical.
Duran stood right beside her, he looked more than a decade older that was no surprise considering it had been a decade since the wars. Though in his opinion a decade simply passed in months and days, it hadn't felt like a year, but here he was 10 years later.
His grey hair still ever greying, his mind still sharp, seasoned, wise, and yet tired; he never thought that the UCAF would ever have to encounter another Halo since the Covenant war.
"Carol, I need to know, did we lose them?"
"I think we both know that answer, sir."
"How did…"
"They manage to get here first? Simple, the calculations were off by more than a few light years, and the fact that the geth suddenly got involved, turians didn't plan on them appearing."
"Is the turian fleet on the ground?"
"No they're engaged in fleet action in orbit, I should say we're fortunate." Carol said walking out of her holo tank into full size to a computer.
"From what I can tell, there are about thirty ships in orbit, five dreadnoughts, rest are a mix of cruisers and frigates, the turians are still trying to compensate for the fact that they're outnumbered."
"Can we land to support the turians?"
"Yes, but the fleet action is too heavy, whatever they managed to land is bogged down, and the geth are practically swarming over their position. We can only provide when we deploy."
"Where can we land?"
"The main force is preparing to land at the cartographer, the region has the least amount of concentrated fighting, the installation will recognise us as reclaimers, so we shouldn't be too worried, and we just need to locate the monitor."
"Good, send down the Aspire, tell Fred and Karl they need to secure all critical positions from enemy hands."
Duran watched his fleet approach the installation, the turians fleet being slowly decimated in the heavy ship to ship warfare.
The council forces were already on approach, and the installation needed to be destroyed or purged, the UCAF had the protocol to rely on, and if the flood broke out, the installation needed to be destroyed.

Outpost- 01
Nihlus ran between the open doors of the forerunner structure, pulse fire pocked the corridor, he breathed hard as the doors auto sealed, Nihlus had been fighting for nearly two days, and the geth took the fleet by surprise and forced them to close quarters.
The geth began landing to the northern and western regions, approximately 1/4th of the ground forces had already been overwhelmed, the geth had been watching them and analysed a means of defeating them.
Now with their tactics in place the geth managed to crush the turians in sheer numbers, the battlefield at this point was mostly geth, marching on towards his position, most of the others in his squad were either dead or… dead.
Nihlus picked himself from the floor and observed his surroundings, he was now in the structure the science team had gone into the day before the attack, they never were heard from again, and that was why this place was abandoned.
"So much for staying out of danger…" He said tiredly.
Hefting his assault rifled, the MA7C was his own, the rifle was actually a trophy he earned from a friend, he was happy to have something this useful at his side, the mass accelerator rifle changed to incendiary rounds from the selection reticule.
Nihlus carefully negated his way through the dark hallways, not even noticing the blue smear of blood where he had landed.
"Leave this place."
XXXXX
The Aspire had arrived in orbit; the rest of the fleet was to engage the geth while the Aspire sent down the strike teams through the teleportation grid.
Karl thawed from his cryo tube; he sat up to face Fred.
"Morning, looks like we're needed on the ground, come on." He said handing him a pistol.
Karl took the pistol, he remembered that the Alpha protocol was initiated in his sleep; the neural network was picking up all the details that were left out in his sleep.
"So, halo, I never thought that we'd ever see one." He chuckled.
"You should have thought better. The galaxy likes to prove us wrong, hurry up, I hear that Rtas is addressing his strike team, we need to get to ground ASAP."
Karl moved out of the cryo tube, his blue armour still functioning from the years of service, the crusader MKVII had been his favoured suit, even when Kelly disapproved, he still wondered if his son Jon was still at the academy.
It had been years since he had seen Kelly, or his son, it was a wonder that the galaxy had to throw him to the rest of the universe.
"Let's get going."
XXXXX
Melissa prepped her Shadowsword, the advanced stealth and assault fighter was amazing, the newest generation in the UCAF fighter corps. Heading inside the fighter she was greeted by Michi.
"So, looks like we get to finally see some action, been a while, hasn't it?"
"Yeah, it has, come on let's get this bird off the ground, Jack and Luke are going to need me to save their arses aren't they?" She said starting the fighter.
Not far from the fighter the many pelicans and fighters prepared for the planetary strike, it was to be a fast run, the geth were gaining ground and the UCAF couldn't allow the flood to be released, though with the turians here, it was a good chance they weren't informed by their councillor.
That meant that the chances of flood being loose already were a possibility.
XXXXX
Jack and Luke were both ranked higher than before, Jack being a major and Luke being a commander, the years of service worked to both their advantages. The UCAF had been in desperate need of new troops and experienced officers.
Cameron was with them, though only being ranked as a lieutenant commander, he was also on the way up for promotion. Cameron served alongside the brothers and the UCAF since the first contact war.
The teams were prepped and ready for launch.
XXXXX
Rtas along with his and Unarra spec ops forces were geared and ready to go; the Spartans that were present at the short briefing had received similar orders alongside the elites. The critical data stores had to be swiped, the geth presence was far larger than what was anticipated, and the chances of flood being loose was too risky, even with vaccinations for the parasite.
Karl and Fred had both been present for the meeting, they knew as much as Rtas or the others that the halo needed to be destroyed or captured, but with their new orders, it was simply destroy the installation if it could not be held, which was the situation right now.
"Rtas, you said that these rings were going to be the death of you." Karl jested.
"Alas they are these menacing rings have brought me nothing but constant challenge, which I never back down from." The elite replied humorously.
"Well if pleasantries are over, we should really get to work." Fred said hefting a shoulder rocket.
As they walked through the black and steel grey metal hallways of the Aspire, Karl asked.
"So is there any actual Intel or is this BS command gave us about the ring true?"
"It's not the whole story, command had actually forgotten to mention that the geth have already taken over the southern quarter of the ring, the turians are scattered amongst the landscape and are being systematically annihilated." Fred replied coldly.
"Well, at least the geth don't plan on us arriving any time soon." Karl attempted to lighten the mood.
"No, they are waiting, that's why they have massive guns emplaced at each point along the ring they control, the AA batteries and these strange new platforms, the geth have made some advancement in order to counter us."
The briefing continued until they launched.
XXXXX
LZ- Cartographer
Jack and Luke hit the ground hard and fast, their pods popped open and they stepped out. Scanning left and right, the two made sure the beach head was clear. Jack looked about as the remaining troops landed, their Spartan commanders behind, while he and Luke took to the front.
Cameron hefted a LMG and plenty of ammunition, the troops trailed behind, with their rifles aimed at anything that might be hostile. They were soon joined by the elites who took the higher ground and began spreading about.
"All units accounted for, blue team and white will proceed to the cartographer, the rest of you need to hold out for any approaching enemy forces." Karl ordered.
"Yes sir."
Karl took the main marauder squad with him and Fred, Linda was on a pelican inbound with air support. While Mark and Ash were on vehicles, they were yet to drop in, unless there were hunters.
Once the team arrived at the entrance they noted Rtas and his teams holding position.
"Hold your fire; we're coming on you left." Karl said.
"Acknowledged Spartans, hurry, the geth shall be here soon." Rtas replied.
When they arrived, they noticed that the elites had done all they could to hold ground, four shade turrets and multiple sniper nests scanned the area. There were also two bond brothers of hunters and more than one specialist grunt squads with fuel rods.
"Hurry, the engineers say they have managed to access the lower hold of the base, hurry while you can still get inside." Rtas said.
"Okay, Jack you and your marines will tail us in, guard the main chamber when we get there remember, the engineers must survive to get us in." Fred ordered.
"Yes sir, we'll do what we can." Jack said hefting his BR.
They took to the lower levels, down through the angled and straight cut rooms and chambers; they headed down through to the cartographer of the ring, and where the rest of their answers lay.
XXXXX
Nihlus ended up in the deep recesses of the catacombs, unsure of where he was headed, he managed to mark his positions and make sure that he did not lose sight of where he was heading. But the deeper he got, the more it concerned him that there was more than just empty halls here.
He managed to finally reach a room with an elevator, he tapped a few things into his Omni-tool and the lift began to move, he headed upwards to the higher level, unsure of what to expect, he made sure his rifle was still active and watched as he arrived in another empty lift chamber.
Making his way about, he checked the lobby where his lift had stopped, making sure that nothing was following him, he arrived at a large ante chamber, and then headed down, there he was faced with a single door, checking around he found that there was nothing else.
His gut feeling was that there was something odd, and he might regret it very soon, he hit his Omni-tool and opened the doorway. He walked in and closed the door behind him, once ensuring that he hadn't walked into an open trap, he was greeted by the sight of a glowing console and a large holographic display screen.
He tapped in a link, or what he assumed was a link, and checked for who might still be alive to receive his call for help.
He just didn't notice the black armoured figure with the No.6 printed and smudged, and the cold and forgotten eyes of Joseph of black team.
(Dun, dun, dun, he was corrupted! Told you guys there was more to this, and more yet to come.)
XXXXX
Saren watched with heated anger at the Alliance, their forces only entering when they were being clobbered by the geth.
He had managed to survive the battle only to end up on the front lines, with the remainder of his troops; they stemmed the tide of geth assaulting their position and made sure that the ships still had enough support to begin evacuation soon.
He walked through to hi console and attempted to contact the council.
"Sir, the position is lost, and the alliance Special Forces have arrived to deal with this, it's outside my control now sir." He addressed Valern.
"Damn them, did you managed to at least obtain any records?"
"Yes sir, I'm transmitting them now."
"Good, hurry and get yourselves out of there before things get worse."
'How much worse could it possibly get?' The spectre thought.
"Sir, enemy Dreadnought is here!" A marine yelled.
Saren looked about, his mind aching as he took sight of the massive dreadnought landing it's claw like legs into the earth and sending the troops backing. He only watched as the leg suddenly slammed down, and sent him and his fellow turians onto the ground.
And then he lost consciousness.
XXXXX
The team travelled through the long winding corridors of Halo, they reached their primary objective, the cartographer. Karl and Fred were both beginning the main activation sequence while the marines waited outside.
"Tanya, you there?" Karl asked.
The AI materialised on the palm of his hand.
"I'm here Karl."
"Can you get a lock on the position of the control centre, and if possible the location of the Monitor?" He asked.
"Attempting, located, the Monitor is within the containment zone, he's trying to re coordinate the defences to defend the main facilities from attack by the geth. He is going on his standard search parameters for us soon, but we need to get moving." She replied.
"Understood…" He tapped his tactical and contacted the fleet.
"Admiral we've located the target and are moving to plant initiation sequence of the Nova at the core, however the monitor is cut off, we're going by standard procedures on this, if the monitor doesn't reach us then we're out."
"Understood Commander, keep your head cool, once all objectives have been achieved then get clear, from what we can tell there's a large dreadnought class headed in your direction."
"Acknowledged, over and out fleet."
Karl and Fred turned about with Rtas, but they were suddenly under fire, a geth infiltration team had broken past and were attacking them in the hall. Jack, Luke and Cameron were barely holding the sheer numbers back.
"Sir, they've cut us off, we're going to need another way around."
"This is team seven; we're cut off, any support?" Karl yelled.
It was then they heard a low humming noise, and then the lights from a gunship as it began to fire into the geth, the large sky-breaker assault gunship mowed the numbers down, then it opened its side entrances.
"Well look who's here, its Melissa!" Jack yelled.
"Yeah, and if you don't get your asses in here I'm leaving you behind, I had to get back to base just to make sure that this bird could still fly." She replied.
They received cover fire from the auto turrets and by Michi who was in command of the defences, the AI got everyone aboard and sealed the doors behind, then they descended into the deeper network of the ring.
"Where did you come from?" Karl asked.
"Base, the place got hit hard, Aspire ordered me down as soon as we got everyone clear, the geth are getting frantic to stop us and I think they know what we're here for." Melissa said grimly.
Fred then said. "All the more reason to get rid of this damned thing, get us to the main loading zone, we're going to have to hurry, once the geth know about where the core is, it's going to be a hell hole to reach."
"Understood."
XXXXX
Nihlus felt as though his head was smacked in by a krogan biotic punch, his head ached as he stood or tried, he could smell the reek of the dead nearby, he knew that he must have been attacked and taken to some place he didn't want to be.
"Ugh, what by the spirits got to me?"
A voice of distinct hollowness replied.
"The spirit of death…"
He looked up in the darkness to see an armoured figure, it was a Spartan, but this was off, it was a Spartan but his armour was compromised, it had leaking fluids in one place, and had been mutilated in other places.
Suddenly the events of Noveria suddenly made sense, this was an infected Spartan, and not only that, the armour design matched the missing Spartan, Joseph.
"By the gods, what happened to you?"
"I have been gifted, by the old one, but I have also been cursed, I cannot control all my motions, but I know of you, the spectre Nihlus on the mission on Anomia, all those years ago. You must take this, get it to no one, or it shall bring the end." The disorientated figure said.
He handed a small silver and green object, it was crafted beautifully, and it looked forerunner in origins.
"This is the key, to stopping the old ones, and their return, please, never let it out of your sight, keep it safe, keep all of them safe, or we shall all pay the price." The figure said walking in the opposite direction.
"Wait where are you going?"
"To do my duty, for my duty must end now, good luck, there's a transport nearby, get to the seventh fleet and escape." Joseph said lastly before vanishing.
Nihlus held the object in his hand, wondering what had just been unleashed upon the universe; he couldn't believe what was to happen, and what was left to come.
XXXXX
The gunship made it's landing at the core, the massive fusion pulse of plasma constantly firing from its top, here the bomb was to be detonated, the team was setting up as the bomb was delivered, Karl and Fred along with the rest of Spartan team legacy were here to finish the preparations for the detonation.
The large building they were seated upon was over viewing the sheer scale of the battle below, the turians and the geth and the flood, all were to be removed in order to save the rest. The Spartans knew of sacrifice and this was one they had to make.
At that moment there was a loud chime as the monitor appeared.
"Greetings I am Reverent Guardian, welcome reclaimers, I must advise that your device must be deactivated in order to stop the destruction of this installation."
"Well sorry to hear that, but you must listen, under protocol 2212-4434, the facility has been compromised and all data has been retrieved by our ships in orbit, we have also discovered a cure years ago, the Halo's are necessary."
The monitor looked in surprise.
"There has been a cure?"
"Yes, that's why the installation cannot be allowed to exist, or be activated, the flood is loose and the geth are invading, you need to pull all defences into buying us time."
The monitor looked at him, his logic came through and he acknowledged, as much it was painful.
"Very well, I shall help defend this location."
"Good, how long till its armed?" He called to Jack.
"Another 10 minutes, give or take a few seconds for the arming codes."
"We're on schedule then, we better…"
"BOOM"
The ground near Karl detonated, he was thrown back as a large armoured figure appeared, it was Spartan in shape, but it was changed, altered, and wreaked of death.
"So, brother it has been to long hasn't it?" The intertwined voice said.
"You're Joseph of black team, the last survivor of the Warden incident." Karl responded.
"Ah yes, the flood now runs through me, but also does the old ones, Sovereign wishes you death." The twisted voice sounded.
Karl drew his sword and his wrist cannon, then more flood appeared, many more. Fred and Rtas along with the defenders got ready behind Karl.
"This is the end Karl, the end of the children of the ascended, for they have fallen with time itself, you only delay the inevitable." Sovereign called.
"Not unless you die first abomination! For the fallen of the young, you shall pay for the loss of my brothers." He yelled.
The two clashed, energy claws and sword blasting away in the middle, the corrupted soldier trying to kick Karl, Karl responded by grabbing the leg and using his external boosters to swing about. The corrupter was slung into the dirt, and he began to pummel.
But then Joseph grabbed his fist and lodged his leg into his stomach and tossed him high and landed him on the earth. Then twisting up, Joseph tried to swing a decapitating blow where Karl's head was. The rest of the team battled endlessly against the waves of the flood, plasma and fire cutting through all.
Karl brought his sword down and hacked off one arm, but Joseph responded with striking his thigh, they both went down, they staggered backwards. Getting within 20 feet, they charged, Karl and Joseph clashed, the weapons drawn.
It took moments for Karl's chest to start bleeding, however, Joseph collapsed onto his knees. Karl swung about and decapitated the fallen Spartan, he then proceeded to removing the neural lace that had kept the Spartan's sanity from becoming completely overrun, however found that it was missing.
He didn't have enough time to go thinking, the bomb was ready, he ran as fast as he could, the others gathered and waiting.
"Sir, hurry." Jack yelled.
He leapt unto the gunship, they then made their escape, and the marines covered him as he landed.
"Melissa, get us out of here." Luke yelled.
The gunship jerked away from the NOVA, the Aspire was just in sight, and once landing hard they exited. Karl raced to the bridge, along with Fred and the others, Tanya transferred out of his head, and she then alerted them.
"Sir unknown on approach, it's over 3km long, oh no, it's charging an energy based weapon, I can't get us loose of its firing range, brace for impact."
The Aspire attempted to flee, however the beam of red light struck the engines, the wounded Aspire tried dodging the other blasts, but the sheer size was hard to out manoeuvre in time.
"Sir, the blasts knocked out aft shields, we're not going to be able to escape the blast in time."
Karl reached the bridge, he saw how bad it was, and he knew that he and the crew weren't going to make their last run in time. He looked to Tanya, and then he said.
"Tanya, under orders of I and I alone, depart from the ship, in thirty seconds we'll use the catapult manoeuvre around the ring, we'll try and sling our way out."
"Sir, that's insane, it won't make it past the blast radius in time."
"I know, but we have to try, you need to tell the fleet of what happened, get going, or this crew and its crew's sacrifice would have been for nothing…"
XXXXX
Nihlus was in the bay of the Few and None, he walked to the bridge where he was greeted by Admiral Duran who welcomed him and apologised for the sacrifices to be made. Nihlus knew better of those sacrifices however.
"Sir the fleet is ready to jump; we have another minute before the blast." Carol reported.
"What about the Aspire?" He asked.
"They are still unable to make it in time… wait they're sending us a message."
Tanya then materialised, she was lying down crying, and she said.
"The Aspire is… is lost."
The Admiral was shocked, he couldn't believe that Karl would order it, the ship was to be left behind.
"Sir, less than 20, shall we jump?"
"Do it."
XXXXX
The Aspire could be seen twisting and turning as it attempted to jump; it ran through the edge and accelerated as the blast began. On board Karl grasped his chair; he knew what was to happen.
"Kelly, I hope that you know I won't be back, tell Jon, I'm sorry."
The crew was washed in the solar rays of a new star.

(I hope you guys loved the cross link to Ascension)
NEXT UP
THE BLTIZ!
Love to all you guys, and thanks for Cameron and all you guys, my best buddies.
