"Landing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Touchdown complete sir! I've set us down about 1 mile away from the White House." Reported the pilot. "Cortana is detecting multiple airships approaching up from the south. They look like old Apache gun ships."

"Okie Dokie boys, lets exit the ship and show were not hostile." Ordered the captain." The last thing I want is a shootout with our great whatever grandparents."

The Captain, First Mate Winston, the Master Chief and 10 marines left the Pillar of Spring just as the Apaches set down. Two men in Black suits approached them.

"Excuse Me," said black suit number one. "But who the heck are you? And what the hell is this big ship?"

"I'm captain kane of the UNSC Helcyon class battleship Pillar of Spring. I'm from the year 2568, and I've come to warn you about the impending war with an alien race. "Now would you please take me to the president? I Believe hell want to know this." Said Kane

The men in black suits gave him a blank stare. "Okaaayy. Now what was the thing you said about the, um. thing?"

"This is going to take a while," said a marine

Captain Kane was waiting in the Oval Office with Winston and the others. A secretary came in and said slowly, as if she wasn't sure if they spoke English "The President will see you now." And then she hurriedly left.

President George W. Bush then entered.

"Well hello their Mr. President." Greeted Kane.

"Good afternoon." He said slowly. "Now I'm sorry, but you have to understand this is quite a shock. It's not everyday that a spaceship comes out of the sky from the future."

"Quite alright Mr. President. It's not everyday we get to go back in time either."

"So now." Asked Bush. " If you're from the future, I suppose you know everything that's going to happen in the next 500 years, correct?"

"That's right" Answered Kane.

"So would you happen to know if I win my next election?"

"I'll get some men to check on that sir." Said Kane with an annoyed look on his face "but I have more important things to discuss right now. Like this upcoming war."

"The one with Iraq?" asked Bush.

"No, I'm talking about the war with the Covenant."

"Those were the aliens you were talking about right?"

"Yes. In 500 years, humans will begin colonizing other planets. While doing this, we are going to discover an alien race known as the Covenant." Said the captain. "They are fanatically religious and believe we are an insult to their gods."

"Wow" Said the president.

"For almost 40 years we have a large scale war going on with them. They have more soldiers, better technology, more ships, advanced weapons, and some species are physically more powerful than humans." Kane reported all this robotically, as if he were reading it from a textbook.

"That's quite a story," said the president. "But why did you come to Earth? If you went back in time why not just go stop them before it happened?

"We are planning to. But before we came here we had just fled from a battle. I have just enough crew to run the ship. The rest are all KIA." Answered the captain. "I need a crew to run the ship. I was thinking if we came back to Earth, then I might be able to ask you for some personnel to take over the jobs of the people we lost."

"Isn't that a little risky?" asked the President "If one of those men gets killed, who knows what could happen in the future."

"That's a chance I'm afraid we'll have to take." Answered Kane. "If I don't have those men, my ship can't run properly. And if my ship doesn't run properly, that I can really be counted on to divert a war then can I?"

"I suppose you're right," said the president. "You'll get the men you need. They will have to be trained of course. I trust you can take care of that?"

"Without a doubt"
Hi! Sorry it took so long to update this. I was in the hospital you see, and that is no fun. I also had some writer's block, but I still think this chapter is one of my most creative.
