Rule 1: Enjoy reading

Rule 2: Keep an open mind

Rule 3: If you comment about something wrong in my writing you must describe what was wrong and a solution or solutions for it. I'm trying to improve my writing and you just saying it sucks with no reason is pointless to me and I will ignore you.

That's all the rules for now until more comes to mind.

On with the story

Planet Harvest Deserts

It had been a few months since the battle for Harvest started for the Spirit of Fire. But it had been a little over a year for the UNSC. From the reports being turned in the Covenant destroyed everything in their way and now begun what we called 'glassing'. Using some plasma weaponry from their ship they destroyed everything on the ground to include the dirt. Burning and melting the area to the point it would take decades or even more for life to be sustainable there again according to scientist. Fortunately, it was only taking place in some areas of the planet, but it was starting to increase.

Due to the information and some tech given in by the Spirit of Fire they were rewarded by it. The Spirit of Fire's budget has been increased. Captain Cutter's leadership experience and leadership actions in the assistance of attaining alien data, aliens, and tech he has been promoted from Captain to Rear Admiral (lower half). Dr. Ander's for her work was allowed increased resources and funding as well which changed everything.

With the reward of his rank, he was allowed the creation of a fleet, which will only be small for now. He now had two Stalwart-class light frigates by the name of UNSC Assisting Vengeance and Orpheus. Small for a start but with time and achievements that could be increased. With the two ships added came increase supplies, troops, and armaments.

The two new ships could be seen moving in formation with the Spirit of Fire in lead in a wedge formation. Aboard the Spirit of Fire, you could see cyclops and marine engineer's installing new cannons, anti-air guns, and missile launchers. Below decks another situation was going on.

With the Geneva Conventions being tossed out the window, troops were being trained in using flame throwers, incendiary grenades for ODST's, and Shiva nukes were being installed. Unfortunately for the nukes they could only be used in uninhabitable areas. Marines were also being trained in using different weaponry and vehicles so they could be more diverse in abilities.

Dr. Anders in her lab had a whole new list of projects going on. While she now had extra staff to help her, she also had new things to work on. Working on understanding the covenant weapons, vehicles, armor, and shields. Understanding the biology of the covenant different species. Looking over the data from the old world to use in the current times. Drones were catching her attention a lot. Getting more information on the Covenant ships. Reviewing the Spartan project and comparing it to the new Juggernaut project. Trying to turn what Zack can do into an asset that could be used in the field. Researching and studying the ancient structures on the planet and on other planets and sites as well.

While the four capture engineers have been a massive help and continue to be so, she could use more help. Maybe her own private A.I. would be necessary as Serina has her hands full. She did have some connections with the AUN along with the favors owed to her. On the bright side she started forming a good connection to the four permanent residing aliens.

They were very docile and only care about learning, building, studying, and relaxing. They were treated quite harshly by the Covenant and with the treatment they were given here, made them never want to leave. They even change their strange looking armor to a smoother like one with green coloring, the UNSC symbol on the side, and a screen projector on the bottom front. The screen displayed wording so they could communicate with humans. It was like they joined the UNSC. They would like more engineers to join the UNSC but after the last hit on the base, they steeped up security on all bases and protection on their engineer's. So, taking more would not be happening for a while.

Currently Dr. Ander's was working on a projected form of Zack's wolf form with Serina who had some free time, a marine engineer, and an engineer. They were placing armor and armaments on it while two engineers were on a platform making and changing the armor on a constant basis, based on their new input. They were learning from each other on a high level.

'This project would be the first to complete on a long list of many. If we had more of those engineers from different positions, our understanding of the Covenant technology would skyrocket to the point of even integrating and improving our own. I can already see ways to improve the Spartan armor shielding. Maybe we can add that to troops, vehicles, or even the ship. We wouldn't be getting our asses kicked anymore' she thought

With the final adjustments she could declare her Juggernaut project phase I complete. Sending the final adjustments to the two engineers they started making it happen on the armor with two more engineers and other techs assisting in the process. This was a good way to get use to the new corporation with each other.

"Serina, contact the Admiral and tell him to come down and review the project. Also have Zack come down here to test the armor" she ordered

With Jenkins

It has been a few months since her squad had combine with another squad along with Hunter. Miller, Braunston, and a healed Smith had joined a new squad by the name of Demon Dogs. Underneath the command of SGT Susan Jones, the five were added with a PVT Benjamin Carmine younger brother of Anthony, LCPL Haley Williams, PVT Gahan Wilson, and PVT Adrian Davis. It was decided to increase squad sizes wherever possible to help battle the alien threat. Because of their actions they each got a promotion. She was now a LCPL, which means more pay and some privileges. It was also decided that she learnt how to operate a Cyclops. For what reason they wanted her to learn how to pilot one was unknown since she wasn't a mechanic.

Currently she was watching SGT school the rest of the squad in card game that she didn't recognize while smoking a cigar and wearing a tang top. She was as rough and tough as any hardcore male marine and sometimes looked even tougher. She didn't accept any bullshit and put fear in her name. Rumors had it that she was part of some old program in the past that toughen her up, but no one knew if it was accurate. Laying back on her bed she thought of the group hat saved her life multiple times called Spartan's. They were simply amazing. Especially the one that turned into the wolf.

'I sure hope to see him again' she thought taking the time to relax since the call could come at any time for battle

With Anders

Walking into the lab was Admiral Cutter with a few techs who set up monitors to project what was to happen to multiple personnel. Some which were recognized as Holland and Hood, a blonde hair female in a lab coat which was recognized as Dr. Halsey along with a few of her staff which created the Spartan project, Admiral Kurosaki, and other members. Following the tech were Spartan Red team who were heading for a separate platform with two others following. The two were recognized as Spartan Daisy-023 and Ralph-103. They were cleared for duty after a psychic evaluation due to running away in the past. It was advised that they stay with fellow spartans, so they were added to Red team.

"What is all this about?" spoke Dr. Anders as the Admiral walked up next to her.

"Dr. Anders you message them a while back asking for funding and assistance to your projects on top of what you already received. You claim that your new project can be as good or better than the Spartan project. I believe it and I want them to believe it a well. Show them your stuff" he finished as she nodded before looking at the approaching Zack

"Don't blow this for me. My career and lifestyle are at stake here" she warned as he looked down at her and nodded. Taking a deep breath to clear her mind before she turned to face the screens.

"Well ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce to you Spartan Zack – 09 soon to be Juggernaut - 01. Like his fellow Spartan II he has all their enhancements but due to the miraculous changes is different. Some of his enhancements even go beyond the Spartan's capabilities." she started gaining the attention of everyone.

"Zack transform to your other form" she ordered as he released a deep breath. Jumping in the air and with a quick burst transformed into a large black wolf that was even bigger than he was before much to everyone's shock.

"He is capable of turning into this wolf form increasing all his abilities 5 times fold. He also seems to show some symptoms of wolf like mentality. It's why he has become very close with the Spartan's than expected. It's also guessed that once the creation of more Juggernauts happens, he will assume a wolf pack mentality" she said the doctors examined some of the data they have received

"Incredible" Spoke Dr Halsey as she tapped on the new data that she did not get time to find before on him

"We conducted many tests and researched on him heavily to find out how to recreate this new form but found only one way that is the safe way. Locked in a chain that allows him to make more is his mental will, sperm, gene and sort of a venom. In another word, he must want to reproduce in order to make more. The other way is way is to surgically put a super charged gene and venom into a person which is too dangerous by having a one in a million chance of survival. That is unless we get more funding and time to do more research" she said making people think

"If he was to deploy how and what combat wise would he be of use for?" asked Admiral Hood as she smiled. "Zack, get on the platform" she ordered as everyone watched him leap onto the nearby platform that was crowded with the two types of engineers. Tapping a button on her pad the machinery nearby and above the pad slowly lowered down showing mechanical arm holding pieces of armor and suits. Slowly the arms with the engineers assistance started placing the armor on Zack showing that each part locked perfectly in place with the other. Once the armor was fully placed it showed an armored version of the wolf. The next set of arms started placing custom weapons were being locked into place. Blue visors and the military green armored wolf slowly turned on showing it was powering up.

"He is equipped with dual Gatling guns as shown on his back, 45 compartment size missiles that are all over his armor, a shield generator, shield bubble, Spartan laser mark 2 which is located underneath his Gatling guns next to the proto type mini shell cannon, emergency compartment bay and holder, and a few other surprises. Some that are in the process of being tested and installed" she finished as they looked at her in shock.

"With so much armory on it can it even move?" Asked a fellow doctor by the name of Dr. Susan Williams as Dr. Anderson nodded. "Yes, he can at very high speeds, as well as having quick agility, and amazing flexibility. Like the Mjolnir armor for the spartans his armor helps his original abilities " she stated before looking back at Zack. "Walk over here Zack" said patting her leg making him look at her. His optics dimmed a little before he looked away from her.

"Well it seems he doesn't want to be treated as a dog" smirked Dr. Halsey looking at Ander. "Zack can you please move about the room and get a feel for the suit" asked Dr Halsey very nicely as his optics went back to his original color and walked around with the engineers floating around him taking note and seeing if any adjustments would be needed. Seeing the potential of what this could be Admiral Hood spoke up.

"Well from what we seen and heard we have decided to increase your funding a bit and send some extra personnel. But we want to see him in live combat with convincing results before we increase it even more. Have him be on standby with the Spartans for the next Covenant attack and he better be combat ready. Dismissed" finished Admiral hood cutting the connection. Hearing a ping on her pad she saw a message from Admiral Kurosaki

: Your request is granted but under certain reasonable conditions:

"Well, it looks your faith in me has been rewarded. We will be waiting for the next mission. I also have just the team who would be perfect to assist the testing as well" she smirked happy at the good news

Ruined city Edinos

In a pelican flying above a smokey and raining city being destroyed were a squad of Marines looking out the back at what was attached to it. Hanging off the back was no other than an armored wolf. There were no lights in the visor making it seem like it was off while on its sides there was lights on.

"Hey Sgt, is he supposed to be some new weapon we are trying out" asked the marine named Carmine looking at the closest person to the exit who was crouched smoking a cigar and looking at her pad.

"Yes, he is. According to higher he is supposed to be Spartan that got upgraded to what they call a Juggernaut. Zack - 09, a spartan that some of you ran into within the past. We are lucky as we will be the first ones to see it in action" replied the Sgt smirking at the wolf as others looked at it with anticipation.

"He will be attached to our squad for our deployment, but should an emergency happen he can be taken away from us and sent somewhere else. So, don't comfortable with him being around. Remember your training, watch your sectors, and keep in cover. If you as much as think you saw something report it. Chances are you did" she finished as the pelican slowed down to a hover. Doing a spin, it slowly started to descend to the ground and stopping when a few feet off the ground.

Jenkins watched as the visors on the wolf turned on with a blue glow along other spots on the body turning to a blue light. She could guess that it was in standby mode until now. The magnetic latch holding the wolf to the pelican had let go of it sending the wolf to the floor. Landing with not much of a thud she watched it crouch low from the impact before standing up and moving along the ground scanning for any threats in the area. It was a pure work of art with some Covenant tech the engineers managed to install and Dr. Anders personnel work with the way it moved with not much of an effort with all that weight.

"Hey Sgt, why are not getting off yet" called out Wilson as the Sgt was focused on the wolf and her pad. "He is going to make sure the area is clear before we deploy, so shut it and wait" was her answer

Zack was scanning the area switching through different types of visions only for several moving figures in the buildings to appear. Looking at the outline of them none of them were human meaning they were all hostile.

'An ambush' he thought as his twin Gatling guns unlatch themselves from the safety locks and started to rotate. Aiming for the building the weapons went off shredding through the walls and into the targets. Not even giving them a chance to pop their heads up to return fire a small slot on his back opened and ejected a missile from it into the air. While coming down the thrusters activated on it sending it propelling through the sky before coming right back down on top of the building causing it to explode. Walking to the wreckage to started to search for any survivors as the pelican slowly dropped to the ground.

The squad of ten marines having different loads of equipment jumped out of the pelican once it was low enough and headed for the sidewalk behind a car for cover immediately. Once all ten had jumped off the plane, the pelican went off into the sky to head back to ship. It was time to cause some damage.
