A/N: Well, this is it. This is the chapter where Night Raid meets the Flood again and trust me, I am going to need help in the reaction of seeing the Gravemind. I mean, I have a lot of ideas but there are not that big enough.

Disclaimer: I do not own Akame ga Kiru and Halo. They belong to their rightful and respectful owners.


As Tatsumi, Seyru, Wave and Kurome played the next mission, a cutscene was shown.

(Cutscene)

A door slides open. Two Special Ops Elites cover the entrance with Plasma Rifles while Special Ops Grunts file in. The Elites cautiously advance, followed by Rtas 'Vadumee and Thel 'Vadamee. Rtas 'Vadumee pauses and sniffs the air.

Thel 'Vadamee: "What is it?"

Rtas 'Vadumee: "That stench...I've smelled it before."

Suddenly, everyone apart from the Monitor had their eyes wide open. This was like déjà vu from seeing….

The Flood for the first time.

"Oh no,no,no,no!" Mine started.

"This can't be right….." Sheele started to shake but was comforted by Run.

"The Flood can't be here." Tatsumi said.

"Well, lets find out." Akame said while trying to hide her fears.

Juggernaut

The assault team proceeds through a small room, where a large tank containing some small, floating, fleshy lifeforms can be seen. The team approaches a doorway, and through the transparent floor of the next room, they can see the shadows of Heretics and strange creatures battling. Eventually, all of the Heretics are killed. The victorious creatures have familiar screams...

"This can't be true. This can't be true!" Kurome started to shake as bad memories appeared in her mind and shook the controller.

"How….?" Najenda's metal arm started to shake.

"Well, at least it isn't a big one." Chelsea stated.

SpecOps Elite 1: "By the Rings. What is that?"

SpecOps Grunt 1 or 2: (whimpers)

SpecOps Elite 1: "Quiet."

The creatures all leave through another doorway.

SpecOps Elite 1: "It's moved on. Quickly, before it returns, let's find the Heretic Leader and finish him off."

The team moves into a laboratory, strewn with deformed corpses.

Seyru went up to one and was soon shocked by it's appearance. "G-guys, the Flood are back."

"Well, at least none of the could come back." Tatsumi assured.

"I wouldn't think so." Delta countered.

SpecOps Elite 2: "What happened here?"

SpecOps Grunt 1: "Me have bad feeling about this."

SpecOps Grunt 2: "You always have bad feeling! You had bad feeling about morning food nipple!"

"What is exactly a food nipple?" Mine asked.

"It's a food consumed by Grunts in the Covenant." Delta answered.

SpecOps Elite 2: "Close your jaws, or I shall bind them shut!"

A floating orb enters the room, and the image of the Heretic Leader appears in the air.

SpecOps Grunt 1: "See! Heretic!"

The Grunt fires on the image, which quickly becomes apparent as a hologram and nothing more.

Rtas 'Vadumee: "Hold your fire. Hold your fire!"

The Grunt comes to a halt. The hologram begins to speak.

Sesa 'Refumee (Hologram): "I wondered who the Prophets would send to silence me. An Arbiter... I'm flattered."

Rtas 'Vadumee: "He's using a holodrone. He must be close. Come out, so we may kill you."

Sesa 'Refumee (Hologram): (laughs) "Get in line."

The hologram vanishes, and moments later, familiar tiny bulbous creatures start to appear.

"No. SpecOps Elite 1: "Leader!"

Rtas 'Vadumee: "Stand firm! The Flood is upon us!"

"We know." Tatsumi said.

The team battles the oncoming Flood Infection Forms.t this again." Mine sighed and shot a lot of infection forms. Multiple infection forms latch onto the corpses, which then reanimated them.

"Wha-THEY CAN DO THAT!?" Mine shouted in both fear and realisation.

"Indeed, when the infection form inside of the host is dead, another one replaces it." Delta answered.

Night Raid began to sweat drop at this information and fear started to rise up as they couldn't feel how they will reanimate some dead hosts.

SpecOps Elite 2: "Heretic fools! What have they done?"

"Well, they tried to catch all of you off guard, but that din't work out." Chelsea stated.

"Yeah, just why?" Mine shook her head in disappointment.

The Flood assault subsides, and a doorway opens out of the labs.

Rtas 'Vadumee: "Go, Arbiter! I'll follow when our reinforcements arrive."

SpecOps Elite 1 or 2: (whispers) "This place is filled with the parasite, not even Heretics deserve this!"

The four and the survivors ride anelevator down to the lower levels of the labs, fighting the Flood and Sentinels. During the lift, Tatsumi shot one of the Flood combat forms with a Carbine that he picked up but he noticed something.

"They can use shields?!" Tatsumi shouted.

"And this makes me feel more afraid of the Flood." Lubbock added.

With the waves all gone and the survivors still alive, they made their through hallway strewn with corpses.

SpecOps Elite 1: "We should have brought weapons to burn these bodies. Everyone is a potential vessel for the Flood."

Tatsumi and Wave sighed at that statement. Akame, Run, Najenda and Dorothea looked at the two and wondered why they were happy about it.

"Well it's a good thing that we have someone who specialise in that type." Wave said as he looked at Bols with happiness.

The team advances into a lab filled with battling Heretics and Flood.

SpecOps Elite 1: "Heretics! Above!"

The team is attacked by multiple waves of Flood and Heretics. Finally, a door opens and a group of Heretics enter the chamber. Wave and Tatsumi dies, leaving only Kurome and Seyru left. Kurome dealt with the Heretics and Seyru dealing with the flood. After that was all over, Tatsumi and Wave respawned.

"Man, that was total chaos." Tatsumi uttered.

"Yeah, that's a good thing." Wave agreed.

Delta was keeping her eye of the two and asked about what they were talking about. But she had the patience to wait until they all finished the game.

The four and any surviving Special Operations troops eliminate the Heretics and escape the chamber through the door.

Everyone was quite surprised when used the energy sword, which destroyed the body.

"Okay, we need those types of weapon." Lubbock admitted.

Phantom PilotCOM: "Leader, the storm is about to hit! We cannot maintain our position!"

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "Bring the Phantoms closer to the mine. We're not leaving until the leader of these Heretics is dead."

Seyru manages to press outside to the exterior of the station. The four players see the Flood battling more Heretics, and a friendly Phantom swoops in to provide reinforcements and covering fire.

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "Arbiter, the Flood have spread throughout the station! We don't have enough troops to manage such a large infestation. Find the leader of these Heretics, kill him now!"

"That is a great idea." Najenda agreed with Half-jaw's orders.

The four and their troops advance into the heart of the installation, fighting past Heretics and Sentinels along the way. Inside the facility, they see the Heretic Leader fleeing.

Special Operations Unggoy 1: "Heretic boss! You see, you see?"

Sesa 'Refumee takes cover behind a shielded door before the four can catch him.

(Cutscene)

Sesa 'Refumee: "This will save me from the storm, but you will be consumed."

'Vadamee pounds angrily on the shield door, but cannot break through as the doors seal. The Special Operations Commander and his troops arrive.

"Do not worry, his justice will be served." Seryu said in her head and it was getting too familiar to her as she was once a fanatic in the Empire.

"Well, he cannot hide there for long." Mine said.

Rtas 'Vadumee: "Arbiter, where is he? (sees the sealed doors after 'Vadamee nods toward it) Stinking Floodbait boxed himself in tight. We'll never break through this!"

'Vadamee notices a hologram of the station, and watches it thoughtfully.

Thel 'Vadamee: "Then we shall force him out."

Rtas 'Vadumee: "How?"

Thel 'Vadamee: "The cable. I'm going to cut it.

"Well, that's a suicidal plan. But it's worth it." Najenda said.

'Vadumee nods at his troops to do it.

{Gameplay}

Rtas 'Vadumee: "Warriors, return to the landing zone! The Arbiter is going to continue upward, cut this station loose, and scare the Heretic from his hole!"

Special Operations Sangheili 1: "May our Lords guide your hand."

Special Operations Sangheili 2: "We shall not forget your sacrifice."

The four had new energy swords and were making their way up to, encountering Sentinels and killing them instantly. They battle Flood and Sentinels along the way. Eventually, they reach the elevator and activates it.

Hey, Watch This!

The four rides the elevator to the upper level where the cable is located. Flood and Sentinels are fighting all around them.

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "All of my Phantoms are in the air, Arbiter. Go ahead, cut that cable!"

Tatsumi went on one end while Wave did the same. Seryu did the same of the last one while Kurome dealt with any flood forces.

After Tatsumi cut the first cable:

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "That's one! By the Prophets, look at the station list!"

Wave cut the second cable:

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "One final cable, Arbiter!"

Seyru cuts the final cable, and the entire station groans with the stress. All the Flood and Sentinels present stop their fighting and look upward towards the cable. The top of the station tears away, and it plummets into the atmosphere. The remaining Sentinels and Flood, if any, are swept out into the sky.

"Whoa…." Lubbock startled.

"And that's scary." Mine gulped.

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "That did it! The station is in free fall! The Heretic Leader is on the move! Do not let him escape! We'll stay with you as long as we can!"

The four drops back down into the station, fights through more Flood, as well as a group of Heretics in the doorway where the Heretic Leader once stood.

Heretic Sangheili: "Our lives for the truth, the truth and the Covenant!"

"Yeah that wouldn't last for long." Najenda sighed.

"You are not right." Delta countered.

The four eventually clears the room, wiping out the Heretic Leader's rearguard and takes an elevator down to what looks like the main power generator for the station.

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "Are you still alive, Arbiter? We're keeping pace as best we can."

The four continues to chase the Heretic Leader. A lance of Heretics, including a sword-wielding Heretic Sangheili charge at him.

Heretic Sangheili 2: "The Oracle must be saved!"

The four kills the Heretics forces and heads through the door.

(Cutscene)

The Heretic Leader flees under Carbine fire from the pursuing Arbiter. He returns fire with his Plasma Rifle, then runs outside the station, where he boards a Banshee and takes off. The Arbiter runs outside and fires at the Leader's Banshee. The Heretic Leader turns his Banshee around, and 'Vadamee's eyes widen in alarm. The Arbiter barrel rolls behind a parked Banshee just in time to avoid a barrage of plasma fire from the Heretic Leader. He returns fire with his Carbine, and the Heretic Leader's Banshee soon flees. The Arbiter gets into the parked Banshee and takes off in pursuit.

{Gameplay}

"Wait how o-" Mine was about to ask but realised something. "There's a Seraph present, right?"

"Yep." Some of them answered.

The four's Banshee flies through the storm.

Rtas 'VadumeeCOM: "What lunacy! He'll never escape this maelstrom in a Banshee! Wait! The hangar, there was a Seraph fighter inside! Arbiter, you know what to do!"

Seyru Banshee approaches the platform where the Heretic Leader landed while the others were dealing with any Heretic forces.

{Cutscene}

The Arbiter's Banshee tries to land on the platform, but fails and crashes into it instead. The Arbiter is seen soon after climbing up to the edge of the platform and is heard grunting in frustration from the crash, before he raises himself up as he surveys the plummeting scenery behind him and runs inside, fully intent on catching the Heretic Leader.

"Well, he pulled off a Chief there." Najenda tried to joke.

"That doesn't make any sense." Delta said and everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "I now what you mean but please try not to make a bad pun every time."

Najenda was about to go in towards the monitor but soon stopped herself. Delta was right, she needs to stop her bad puns sometimes.

Dead Or Alive...Actually, Just Dead

The four fights through the first portion of the station, engaging large numbers of Flood forms as well as retreating Heretics and the stations few remaining Sentinels. they make it into an open conveyor room where a large number of Heretics make a last stand against encroaching Flood forces to buy their leader time to escape. The four breaks through this last line of defense with their plasma grenades and carbines and makes it to the hangar.

(Cutscene)

The Arbiter catches the Heretic Leader as he is about to board the Seraph and points his weapon at him in confrontation.

Thel 'Vadamee: "Turn, heretic."

The Heretic Leader stops in his track and then grunts as if he recognizes whose voice he heard, before he turns to face the Arbiter

Sesa 'Refumee: "Arbiter. I would rather die by your hands than let the Prophets lead me to slaughter."

Thel 'Vadamee: (Slowly advances toward him) "Who has taught you these lies?"

A familiar humming is heard. The Arbiter looks up and sees 343 Guilty Spark descending from above.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that the little sneaky backstabber survived." Leone remembered.

"And the monitor will try to talk to the Arbiter." Mine added.

"I do not think so." Delta countered.

Thel 'Vadamee: (shocked) "The Oracle!"

343 Guilty Spark: "Hello! I am 343 Guilty Spark. I am the Monitor of Installation 04."

Sesa 'Refumee: "Ask the Oracle about Halo. How they would sacrifice us all for nothing!"

343 Guilty Spark: "More questions? Splendid! I would be happy to assist you."

While 'Vadamee stares in surprise at the Monitor, any questions are cut off as the Heretic Leader suddenly reaches for his twin Plasma Rifles and opens fire on 'Vadamee, who returns fire.

"Great, he as now sealed his fate." Chelsea stated.

"Yeah, and now the truth will now be hidden from the general public within the Covenant." Wave added.

'Vadamee falls back, taking cover while his shield generator recharges. As he does so, the Heretic Leader floats back toward the Seraph and pulls out two holodrones.

Sesa 'Refumee: "The Elites are blind, Arbiter... but I (holds up two holodrones) ... will make them see."

The Heretic Leader releases the drones, which become copies of him. They turn to look at the Arbiter.

{Gameplay}

Wave and Kurome destroyed the first two holodrones, and saw that Sesa is hiding in the air vent.

"Hey, come here and fight like a real man!" Seryu shouted as she shoots the Heretic leader.

While in hiding, 'Refumee will speak to Thel 'Vadamee.

Sesa 'Refumee: "How did the Prophets buy your loyalty, Arbiter? With a new command, a new fleet,...or was it the promise ... their "Great Journey"?"

"Dude, even if you're going to tell the truth, at least try to fight like a real man." Tatsumi said.

Sesa 'Refumee: "Look around you, Arbiter. This facility and dozens like it resulted in the study of the Parasite, but where are the weapons, Arbiter? What was the result? All that time and effort and the best the Forerunners could do was put these foul creatures on ice."

Sesa 'Refumee: "And now where are these "Gods" the Prophets would have us worship! Transcended? (laughs)... Hardly. Come, Arbiter. Let me show you where they went."

The fight went to long, but eventually Seyru killed the real Sesa.

"That cheap trick won't work on me." She mumbled as she has used these types of tricks before.

(Cutscene)

Vadamee has killed the Heretic Leader and is dragging his corpse to the hangar door.

343 Guilty Spark: "Unfortunate. His edification was most enjoyable."

Thel 'Vadamee: "I had no choice, Holy Oracle. This Heretic imperiled the Great Journey."

343 Guilty Spark: "Oracle? Great Journey? Why do you meddlers insist on using such inaccurate verbiage-ohhhhh myyyyy!"

"Oh please don-" Mine was about to say before she saw the person that she expected.

343 Guilty Spark is snatched by an unseen force and pulled away. He is dragged through the air, directly to the top of the Fist of Rukt, the gravity hammer of Tartarus. Tartarus, standing beneath a Phantom, pulls 343 Guilty Spark off the end of his hammer.

"What is he doing here?" Tatsumi asked to anyone.

"Probably doing some orders for the Prophets." Akame guessed.

"Wait, I thought that the Brutes had lower responsibilities than the Elites." Wave realised.

"You are right Reclaimer. But that might change one day." Delta countered.

Thel 'Vadamee: (outraged) "That... is the Oracle!"

Tartarus casually tosses 343 Guilty Spark into the Gravity Lift.

Tartarus: (indifferently) "So it is. Come, we are leaving this system."

Fades to black.

Level ends.

As the mission ended, everyone did their stretches before they all sat down.

"So, shall we play the next mission?" Leone asked.

"Not quite." Delta answered. "You should all have a rest as I have got something for you."

"What is it?" Najenda asked.

"It's a surprised and you're all going to meet me in this location tonight. " Delta showed them the location via hologram. "I shall meet you all there tonight." She soon teleported away.

Night Raid was wondering what surprises she has. But they could all wait until tonight.

Omake: unexpected gift

All of Night Raid got a good amount of rest since the monitor left, and currently they are walking towards the monitor's meetup location at night.

"Why does it have to be night?" Mine asked as she yawned.

"She wants this secret to be kept between us and also not let the enemies tail us." Najenda answered.

"And how long does it take to go to this place?" Lubbock moaned.

"Not long." Some of them jumped and fell to the ground while some just saw the monitor floating around.

"Did we take long?" Akame asked.

"No, actually, we all went here at the same time." Delta answered.

"Okay, so want do you want to show us?" Wave asked.

Delta soon got out a button, which she soon gave to Najenda. "Here."

"What is this for?" she asked.

"Press the button and look at the sky." Delta answered cheerfully.

Najenda was hesitant at first, but soon pressed the button as she knew that the monitor set up something. As she did, she and the others saw a star ship floating up in the sky.

"Woah…." Tatsumi, Leone, Lubbock, Mine and Wave said.

"A UNSC frigate." Akame looked at the ship.

"A Paris Class heavy frigate to be exact." Delta added. "It has one magnetic Accelerator Cannon, three Shivas- class nuclear missiles, twenty six Archer Pods and twelve unidentified turret point defense system."

Stylish and Dorothea were intrigued at this type of technology and soon Stylish quickly drew one for a future reference.

"Such a weapon." Esdeath said.

"It is. However, I made some few modification. I added in a Slip space device and a shielding too and since no one could drive a vehicle, I managed set up a teleportation grid inside the ship."

"Well, thank you." Najenda said

"Is there anything else?" Bulat asked.

"Oh yes, inside the Frigate, I managed to put in a bar, a restaurant and also a hot spring." Delta added as she knew that some of them loved them.

"No way…" Mine was starting to get excited that the monitor added in a hot spring.

"Where did you find this and why?" Wave asked.

"I found it on a deserted planet and I simply cannot let a good waste of a space ship to decompose, so I and my Sentinels made some modification. The reason, well, it's for the Revolutionary Army's new secret weapon." Delta answered as she knows what weapon the Empire had and a frigate would do its job.

"Yeah, I definitely want a tour in the ship now." Leone said as she couldn't wait to explore the bar.

"Come this way." Delta said excitedly and soon started the tour as she teleported her and everyone to the ship.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, the Prime Minister was sleeping loudly, when all of a sudden tentacles started to drag him quietly and soon pulled him through a portal. "This one is but of flesh and bone, and will be welcomed to your grave." The voice said mockingly.


Well Night Raid got a hold of a new weapon and I was wondering, what will be the name of the ship? that's right, you could give me some ideas for the Ship's name and it could be anything.

Edit: Well, I might do another fanfiction called Halo: Night Raid, which I might say might be in the works.

Synopsis: During a routine trip with the Frigate, Night Raid and a thousand soldiers and crewmen from the Revolutionary Army lands in an unknown planet and is faced an unknown Forces. They don't have the weapons to fight them, but there might be something that will stop them.
