Warning: Major Spoilers for Halo 5: Empress of the World. Cortana has claimed the Mantle of Responsibility, and ushered in a new era of peace for the galaxy- by the point of a sword. But what is the price of peace? Is order and stability truly worth giving up one's free will?

Four years after the end of the Human-Covenant war, the galaxy has changed. Humanity has taken its rightful place among the stars. Spartans have gone from being silent defenders to the vanguard of humanity's expansion. This role comes at a price, however. As humanity reclaims its ancient birthright, one Spartan team will stand at the center of it all.

The gears of war grind on. Dirt, blood, sweat and tears are spilled as each human colony is lost to the eons, yet humanity struggles on. The year is 2546, the high value Inner colony of New Llanelli has finally been discovered by the Covenant. Here's is the story of one colony's ferocious fight for survival.

WARNING! HALO 5 SPOILERS INSIDE! Don't read if you don't like unwanted knowledge! A short story from the POV of one of the greatest AI's of all time, considering the events of Halo 5 and conversing with the human legend known only as the Master Chief. All rights and characters belong to 343; just my own personal-written epilogue to the game!

A story about two former Freelancer agents in hiding from Project Freelancer.

PREAMBLE This is my take on the backstory to the games, incorporating several scenes I've long wanted to see depicted. The idea germinated after reading Greg Bear's trilogy of novels, and work began in October after reading Hunters in the Dark. People who have read both will hopefully get a lot more out of this, but I've tried to summarise effectively.

between the Humans and the Elites and other Covenant species, howevera loyalist faction remains to finish their mission to destroy humanity. On the frozen world of Argentate the UNSC has staked a claim but so have the loyalists and both have been drawn by the obvious forerunner influence on this world. now spartan Frost investigates the ruins and to stop the loyalists.

One day when the Arbiter checks up on the Chief, he gets a rude surprise from above, and he doesn't exactly like it either.

Trying to tell your close companion that you have acquired abnormal, alien abilities during your time apart could be difficult. Unless that companion happens to be Cortana. Post Halo4. Drabble, slight crack!fic.

John and Linda have known each other since they were just six years old, and they've been through it all. However, with the Covenant invading yet another colony, the UNSC has deployed everyone; refusing to surrender the planet. Can John learn to cover up his feelings, or will they finally come to the forefront of his thought?

The destruction of Harvest by the Covenant impacted the lives of billions. Here before the conception of Project Freelancer is a telling of how it might have gone. This is my first attempt at fiction, please be gentle. Constructive criticism is welcome, well really needed. Thank you!

Hello, this is my first story that i'm writing, i would really appreciate all the reviews and help. Thank you and i hope you enjoy reading. The O.D.S.T. that are defending the planet Jericho 7 find themselves facing an unfamiliar enemy that are far superior in every way

A short story, taken directly from the thoughts of the Iso-Didact and the Librarian, as plans are revealed and events are unfolding. What Forerunner would not be so interested in those so affected? Maybe the Forerunners are not so different from Humanity after all...

A story I wrote when I was younger and really bored. I'm still not sure if I want to continue but feed back is always welcome. sorry it sucks

What happens when AI meets human life? Is it possible to keep a promise?

B312. Hyper lethal. Assassin. All to describe one Spartan. But what made him into the machine, engineered for destruction, that we all know? Who is Noble Six? Disclaimer: I don't own Halo, it belongs to Bungie/343. This is a work of fiction, purely for entertainment purposes.

Let me tell you a story lost in history, a story about a heroic team of Spartans. "Who are they?" You might ask. They are warriors that were not given their place in history and lost to all. Come, gather around, let me tell you about a group of heroes that unknowingly saved us all from destruction. Let them be remembered for what they are, legends.

We are defined by our choices. Honor, courage, commitment; all gone with a decision made in the span of a heartbeat. History will view him as a hero and savior, but inside he will know where he had failed, where he had cast aside that title. He will know when he had chosen his own reclamation over that of the human race. Even worse, he will know that he had no regrets.

A top secret, highly classified, and extremely expensive operation is undergoing to bring back the UNSC's greatest fallen hero's. Spartan B-312(last known as Noble 6) was one of those chosen to be brought back from death. After being brought back, he was paired up with a female Sangheli Minor to accompany him on his future missions. Six/female Sangheli

It was said by many and rumored around that the prophesies of a human being was being spoken of, and everyone seems too wonder curiously too find this spartan and follow her on her dangerous journey, but with the help of two betrays and one bystander, she was able too move on and find her purpose for being chosen, an enemy stands before her, a powerful enemy. Will she live or die?
