This is a halo AU.
I'm fucking with the cannon.
For example there is no halo rings more explanation on that at the bottom.
This starts toward the end of the Reach campaign, and that's where it diverges from the Halo Canon. Things like Noble Team surviving.
Six is a chick. I'm also greatly increasing the amount of time between Reach falling, and when the covenant attacks Earth.
Chapter 1.
A falling world.
Epsilon Eridani system, in the heaven's over Reach, August 29, 2552. Bridge of the UNSC Paris-class heavy frigate RCS Phoenix rising.
"Everything's on fire especially on decks 5 through 8, Mac gun is offline. Sir we can't take another hit like that."
A young man sat in the captain's chair of the ship. Only 26 but the years he had been fighting the covenant showed on his face, his once gentle blue eyes dulled by the fires of war, small scars from shrapnel could be seen on his skin, and The echoes of his friends screams played in his mind.
The only thing that made it all seem worth it to him, was protecting his wife and children.
Something he would do no matter the cost.
"Damn it damn them all to hell get me fleet Com Now."
The damaged screen flickered to life, and the bridge of another ship came into view standing there issuing orders was Admiral Roland Freemont.
"Sir this is Captain Alexander of the RCS Phoenix Rising. We have suffer severe damage most of our offensive weapons are inoperable. I'm requesting permission to do something crazy and jump out of system."
"What are you planning kid."
"There's a few very important people still down on the Reach, including Dr. Catherine Halsey and Noble Team. their at Castle Base. We should be able to get them out but we'll have to do a in atmosphere slipspace."
"All right I'm giving you the green light get as many out of there as you can Good luck Kid."
"Just in case one of us doesn't make it. It's been an honor sir ad victoriam."
"Ad victoriam"
The screen go's dark as a plasma bolt strikes the Ship.
"Hit was Non-damaging."
"Helmsman get us to castle base as fast as possible."
A young woman stood proudly at the helm of the massive ship "AYE AYE SIR. Everyone better sit there ass down and buckle up this is going to be a bumpy Ride. Hahaha."
She brings the engines to full burn aiming down and bringing the ship around to her Target luckly castle base wasn't to far. On there way down they crashed into a few small covenant ships.
"Get me Noble team."
down at Castle Base_
"This is Noble one go ahead."
"Noble is Dr Halsey with you."
"Yes sir along with the rest of Noble team."
"Noble I want you to get Dr Halsey and as many others as you can gather and get to the cliffside Port. where evacuating you and as many people as we can get off Reach before the covenant glass it."
"Understood sir will be there by the time you get there Carter out."
Shutting off the radio, Carter stands up and look towards he scientist and Marines gather nearby. "We're leaving now"
Jorge notice that quite a few of the scientist complaining about their projects.
"You heard him get moving grab as much as you can carry."
Carter walked over to six and put one of his hands on her shoulder.
"six you're the fastest of us here. I need you to get up to the control center and start the self-destruct for this base." he hands her and up-link device. "this will let Dot connect to the base she'll destroy it as we're leaving."
Six nods her head and takes off heading for the control room. lucky only a few Grunts and jackal had made it inside. She didn't have time to kill them, so she was just going to have to run past them and hope she didn't get hit.
Back with the rest of Noble_
they had made it to the dock that's when all hell broke loose. Grunts and jackals started pouring in from every direction. Even with everything they had they were starting to become overwhelm.
"This is Noble one to Phoenix rising we are becoming overwhelmed how much longer till you get here."
"We're knocking on your front door as we speak." A Paris-class heavy frigate flew over the castle and came to stop it's cargo bay doors opening as it lowered to line up with the landing pad. The ships 40mm Auto cannons spun up and began mowing down hostile forces.
There standing on the ramp as it touchdown was Sergeant Avery Johnson "well what you waiting for an invitation. Civilians first corpsman second Spartan's last. let's move people, we ain't got all day."
Back with six_
Currently running for her life.
"OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT"
As it turned out she didn't need to start the self-destruct timer. The bases reactor had been sabotaged by grunts.
"WARNING REACTOR CRITICAL DETONATION IN THE DRIVE CORE WILL OCCUR IN T MINUS 25 SECONDS."
So she ran hoping to make it to the dock before the ship left.
"WARNING REACTOR CRITICAL DETONATION WILL OCCUR IN T MINUS 15 SECONDS."
She manage to get through the doors to the dock to see the ship starting to leave. "fuck me I'm going to have to jump."
"WARNING REACTOR CRITICAL DETONATION WILL OCCUR IN T MINUS 10."
She started sprinting hoping that there was still a little bit of fuel left in her jet pack.
"9."
The ship wasn't too far away 30 feet that's how much she guess she would have to jump. "I can make that."
"8."
She near the end of the dock and with one solid push off jumped into the air.
"7."
At the peak of her height she fired the jetpack boosting her just a little bit more.
"6."
She reached her arm out hoping to grab the edge she was a not moving fast enough. she wasn't going to make it.
"5"
Just about as her arm past the edge of the ramp and she closed her eyes hoping for painless death. when her momentum was stopped, someone had caught her. She looked up to see the smiling face of sergeant Johnson.
"When I said Spartans last, I didn't mean wait till the last damn second."
"4."
Johnson grunted and pulled the Spartan 3 aboard. They hurried inside as the ramp closed.
on the bridge of the PR_
"Ash you better get us out of here and soon or we'll all be fried chicken."
"3."
Four Seven Niner grinned and then grab the com "Hey, everyone hold on back there. Things are gonna get a little umm..."
"Bumpy?"
"I was going to say explodey but that works too."
"2."
"Random coordinates locked, opening slipspace, engines to red line."
"1."
""!BOOM!""
As a slipspace portal opens, the ship's engines flared to maximum, as castle base erupted in a nuclear explosion.
The ship passes through the portal. as the gate is closing. Just as the blast engulfs the area in flames.
A cheer went around the ship. They had made it. They had made it off reach alive. The cheer died and became teardrops as they thought about those who didn't make it with them, and those who wouldn't make it.
End of chapter 1_
More story notes. As you can see I'm fucking with Cannon quite hard. In this world there is no Halo rings the covenant believe that if humanity is annihilated their gods will show them the way of the great path.
Characters who should be dead or in other places obviously they're not dead not in those places mostly because Sergeant Avery Johnson is one of my favorite characters he says the best things in the best way possible for example
-Dear Humanity; we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!-
He is the best so I had to have him in the story.
Author's notes. sadly I haven't had any inspiration for Grimm Knights lately. so that isn't going anywhere fast, I mean I won't stop work on it but I wouldn't expect an update very often on it.
But this story I have some inspiration for this story, I love Halo, I greatly enjoy RWBY,
And I have plenty of things to go with here.
And once again I am an amateur writer. I will admit these aren't written as good as they could be. I'm doing this to get better at writing.
So I hope you enjoyed the first chapter.
See you next time.
-Sincerely Kokugatsu-
