An excerpt from the finale of my scrapped old Halo book Truth and Reconciliation. I hope to give this storyline its time of day, I don't want to throw away a character as good as Valarad R'Shanai, but I decided this will rather than trying to fit in the 343 canon of Halo, rather be incorporated into my long-off rewrite of Halo 5.

Orbital Drop Shock Troopers; It is said one ODST can take on an entire squad of Marines with one hand tied behind their back, I don't know about the average Trooper but there once existed a single team of ODST capable of taking down an entire battalion of covenant forces with little to no aid. What could extinguish such a flame you may ask? Humanity's Darkness. This is their tale.

Halo: Feet First covers the story of a team of UNSC Orbital Drop Shock Troopers of the 7th Battalion, 105th Shock Troops Division. The main character, Duncan Iris, faces the full horror of the covenant war effort against humanity as well as the brave retaliation of outnumbered and outgunned UNSC forces. However, he also witnesses the turning of the tides as the war progresses.

The Covenant had been on Talian for a good few months. They were doing what they could to survive, but everyone knew they didn't stand much of a chance. That is until an injured Spartan falls (literally) into the hands of a teenage girl who's somewhat versed in medicine and combat. Finally, the sun starts to rise over the fields of Blood and Ash.

After escaping Reach, Kaiya is yet again thrown onto another trail. This time she's determined to find out more about herself. Discover her place in this war-torn galaxy. Old friends will reunite. Love will be discovered in an unlikely person...or persons. An ancient evil emerges.

What does one do when one cannot remember anyone or anything? Survive. This story follows Jayne Lasky, twin of Thomas, after waking up with no recollection of the past. Follow along as she rediscovers herself and forges a new path leading her straight to where she always belonged.

Months after the New Phoenix incident, the UNSC sends in the high advanced flagship known as Infinity on a second campaign to the Forerunner shield world: Requiem. UNSC forces and Spartan fireteams are sent in to repel vacant Covenant forces on the shield world. One such team is Fireteam Crimson. This is their story. Takes place after Halo 4 and at the start of Halo Spartan Ops.

When the Covenant arrived at Reach, Captain Andrew Benedict knew it was a futile fight. His ship and her hastily assembled formation fought valiantly, but the Covenant started picking off ships one by one. They evacuated the personnel of the other ships to the Dauntless Dagger, only to take severe damage to the Slip-Space Drive. What will happen to the Dagger? Only time will tell.

Hello, Halo FFN readers. If anyone remembers this, you're not imagining things. This is DonutBeagle's attempt at giving closure to the Halo trilogy in a way that's at least sincere than the continuation by 343 and the awful abomination of a TV series, back in action.
