I don't own Halo. . .I just play it a lot.
I am continuing this fic because of high demand to do so, I was gonna' stop production. ALSO, I appreciate the advice you have given me, and also that you haven't flamed me. I am thinking of re-submitting the first chapter with some people's advice. Let me know if you would like that to happen. OK now to the story.
O YES. . . THERE IS LIGHT SWEARING!!
Master Chief came out of his jump in front of a big, blue planet, seemingly full of activity. He quickly made his way through the atmosphere and promptly arrived at the UNSC Headquarters. Master Chief casually walked into the building and soon found himself in front of Admiral Gates's door (he's my OC). "He was the second-in-command when Keyes died," Cortana informed the Chief.
Master Chief continued through the door to meet a grim looking man in about his late fifties. "Do you have ANY idea as to how many marines we lost on that ring?" he immediately started in.
Cortana spoke up, "Approximately," she paused, "Four hundred twenty- six."
"Exactly," Gates continued, "Four hundred twenty-six soldiers lost their lives because of your carelessness. If you weren't a Spartan, I'd have your ass discharged faster than-"
"With all due respect, sir," Cortana interrupted, "If we didn't blow Halo up-"
"FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX MARINES MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE. As much as I would love to court marshal you two right now," he paused, "I can't. Chief, I need you to remove Cortana's chip from your helmet. We're giving her a body."
The Spartan stood there, stunned, and for once, Cortana was speechless. "Well, let's have it," Gates continued.
The Chief didn't waste any time and quickly took Cortana's data chip from his helmet. He paused, and gave it to the Admiral. "Dismissed," Gates whispered to the Chief, and walked out the door. Master Chief slowly made his way to Cybernetics Ward (where they performed any operations involving AIs, androids, and cyborgs). He sat there for what seemed like hours, but when he dared to glance at the clock, a mere forty-five minutes had passed. 'Oh my God when will this day end,' he thought to himself. His thoughts began to wander. He began to daydream of what Cortana's body would be like, secretly hoping it would be a larger version of her AI frame. At that moment, a two people walked through the door. One was a scientist, the other was, "Another Spartan II?!" Master Chief shouted.
"Very astute of you, Master Chief. The Admiral requested that you had partner that could help you not only with problems involving data, but also on the battlefield. May I present to you, Cortana, the newest Spartan II."
Cortana removed her helmet, and to the Chief's expectations, her android body was an exact copy of her AI appearance, only bigger. "Hmm, brains AND beauty, huh?" the Chief said after examining the "new" Cortana.
"Don't get any ideas tough guy," she replied with a smirk.
They began walking back to Gates's office to receive their new orders, which, assuming Gates was still mad, were probably to explore the inside of an erupting volcano. Master Chief tried to initiate a conversation with Cortana. "So. . .How's it like having a body, or a human body at least?"
"It's not bad. I can go where I want, when I want. It's just that. . .well I've never had this type of body. I guess it'll just take time to get used to," and with that, they arrived at Admiral Gates's office.
His secretary spoke up, "I'm sorry, but the Admiral is in a meeting, you cannot go in."
The two Spartan's took their seats, not at all pleased. They sat for hours and made idle chit-chat until they were finally called in. They walked in and sat down in front of the Admiral. "I'm not gonna' waste time with pleasantries. Here are your re-assignment orders," he handed them some papers.
Cortana was the first to break the silence, "Sir, these can't be right. These order us to report to. . .Siberia. These orders must be wrong."
Even though over 93% of the available land on Earth had been colonized, Siberia, along with some of the Brazilian Rainforest, was declared uninhabitable. "Admiral, she's right," Master Chief agreed, " Besides, there isn't even a base out there."
"Oh but that's where your wrong," Gates said smugly. "We recently built an installation there. Class D, bottom-of-the-line. Now hurry up, your transport leaves in 30 minutes."
The Chief sighed and Cortana sulked as they proceeded to the hangar to meet their transport. It was a silent flight, not a word was exchanged. When they got to the base, it was exactly like the Admiral had described, "Bottom-of-the-line." As the two walked in, they noticed a few dilapidated shacks and random supplies. "Hello, sir, ma'am," a shivering guard approached, "Your bunks are on the far east of the compound. . .That's all you really need to know about this hellhole. Oh yeah, enjoy your stay."
"Wow," Master Chief spoke, "Some welcoming committee."
Cortana merely nodded. "Something wrong?" the Chief asked, seemingly concerned.
"No," she replied, "It's just that. . .I actually get a body and I have to go HERE."
"Don't worry about it. Gates just needs to cool off. Another month and we'll be out of here."
They both trudged to their bunks, unaware of the actions that were taking place above them. {FIRE AT WILL! Leave none of them alive,} GE-1 shouted through the communications link. The Covenant were attacking the UNSC fleet. Correction: they were ripping through the UNSC fleet. The main portion of humanity's defenses had been destroyed during the attack on Reach. What was left was a small back-up division, and frankly, they weren't putting up much of a fight. Soon the entire UNSC starfleet was in shreds. They never even had time to radio Earth to warn them of the incoming invaders. {HA!} the commander shouted, {These weaklings never stood a chance,} he then switched his communication link on, {Attention all ships. Prepare to land on the enemy planet.}
In moments, the Covenant division was heading to the Earth's atmosphere. They figured they should try to land in an area not inhabited by humans to keep the element of surprise. SO, they decided to land in, THAT'S RIGHT, Siberia. {All ships, this is GE-1. You are now cleared to land on the enemy planet.}
Cortana was sitting on her "bed", a poorly made cot, when she heard a rumble. She quickly ran outside and looked up. "Oh, you have GOT to be KIDDING me!"
THAT'S CHAPTER TWO.sorry it took so long, but with school and all coming up, most of my chapters will take forever to post. Sorry, but school comes first!
