///////////////////////////////////////////////////

Outside the meeting room:

They have been waiting for about an hour for the response.

That's when one of the ODST's walked out of the room.

" They are ready for you Admiral." He said

" I'm sorry but you have to stay out here they only requested the Admiral, Captain Luna, and Dr. Halsley. You well have to wait here." The ODST said stopping the Spartans.

The Spartans did as told.

They all walked back in to the room.

" Have a seat." General Phillip said

" Admiral Stanforth we have reviewed all the information that you have given us. We are surprised that you where able to survive such and encounter. But as you might know it will only be a matter of time before the Covenant find Earth. We have planned ahead for this. We have made upgrades to our defenses. Before your arrival we have been building twenty more Super MAC's around the orbit of earth. Giving Earth a total of sixty. Plus we have ten more that are being powered by the moon. Ill be giving the floor toward Dr. Uematsu." He said

" Thank you general. We have made some advancements, as you know we have been able to duplicate Covenant shielding. But the only soldiers that could support it where your Spartans Dr Halsley. With the help of the knowledge of the Spartans shields we have been able to duplicate it for standard soldier use. Of course the shields are not as powerful as the Spartans, it at least has enough power to keep them alive for longer and to make them for effective." he said

" This is quite a brake through Dr. Uematsu." Dr. Halsely said.

" It is doctor but we have not been able to duplicate the Covenant shielding for our ships. We are missing a key technology that can produce it's power. On fortunately we don't have it." He said

" That's what we have brought you here for. Dr. Halsley Your Spartans are going to finish the mission that they where originally sent out to do. We know that there force has been dramatically reduced that is why we have a surprise for you Dr. I suggest we get out of this tight room and we take a ride. Please follow us." He said

The General and Dr. Uematsu got up and walked toward the exit. All three followed.

He told the Spartans to follow as well. They got on the transport. The General walked over to a panel and entered some commands. The transport began to move.

" Where we are going is where your surprise awaits Spartans. We have some gifts that you might want to receive. The location that it is deep under ground." The General said with a smile.

The Transport traveled for a total time of ten minutes. Where they arrived to there destination.

" I would like you to welcome you to the ONI weapons research facility." Uematsu said.

They walked toward a heavily guarded door with ten mean looking ODST that where armed to the teeth. They had four 50. Caliber emplacements to guard the door. There armor seen to have a weird glow to it.

This obviously where the new shields that Uemastu talked about. Halsey said to her self

The ODST's immediately let them through and they saluted.

They entered the complex and walked toward a door that seemed to be an office. The general opened the door and walked in.

There sat one of the deadliest marine that ever lived. He was even good enough to train the Spartans him self. His name was Chief. Mendez.

" Good morning general I was not told that you where making a visit." Mendez said.

" Well we kind of had to Chief." The General said

That's when Dr. Halsely walked in.

The Chiefs eyes kind of widened.

" Dr. Halsey its been a long time!" Mendez said

" Well of course it had Chief you never right or call your old friend Halsley here." Halsley said with a smile.

" You still have that attitude it seems." Mendez said.

" It's kept me alive if that's what you mean." She said

" well how can I help you today General. We would like to see them." He said.

" Now? Well if say so sir."

He got off his chair.

" Follow me"

When he walked out he saw the Spartans out side his office. This time his eyes really widened in shock.

The Spartans saw him immediately. They saluted instantly. Some of them where higher ranking but they did for the Respect that they had for him.

" Sir it's an honor to see you again sir." Adam said

" At ease Spartans. It's an honor for me. It seems that you have all grown to higher levels than what I would of ever been able to have taught you." He said

" Sir we are still here thanks to your training sir." Kelly said.

" Thank you Kelly but I only taught you the basics your success came from your skills not mine." Chief Mendez said

That's when he realized that there where fifteen of them.

" Where are the rest." He said

They all bowed there heads.

" Dead sir. And John is MIA." Fred said.

This struck Mendez's heart hard. Half of them are dead. They where the best that he ever trained and half of them where dead.

" I'm sorry. But I hope that what I'm about going to show you today might help you with your task. It well not replace your fallen but it well help. Please follow me." He said

They began to walk.

The news of the Spartans success arrived to him daily but the news he was just told hit him hard. He trained them all personally. He Knew them for years tell he was forced to leave. They had all gotten far with out him. He was Proud that he did his job well.

Lets just hope that this does it's job well.

They got to a Heavy armored door where Mendez entered some codes and had his eye scanned.

The door opened up to show an amazing sight.

The Door the walked through sent the through a place that was as huge as a foot ball stadium. But the most important thing was what was in the middle.

In the middle Stood One Hundred Spartans all working out in full Spartan armor.

The got to your location.

" This are the new batch of Spartans. They are all trained exactly as the previous Spartans and have the same enhancements." He said

The Spartans where shocked. This gave them new choices in battle never did they have this amount of Spartans.

" Chief you have out done your self." Halsey said

" Thank you Doctor. I just hope that they can live up to the originals he said."

Dr. Uematsu walked over.

" Now the problem is that they are all still wearing the same armor as the older Spartans. But thanks to you Dr. and the Spartans we well be able to upgrade all of the Spartans armor including all of the Originals. Since the originals have had more combat experience they well be in charged. They well receive better modifications than the rest of them to help them with there tasks."

" Dr Uematsu do you mind if I work on my Spartans armor personally ill just take over the more advanced modification that you make for them." She said.

" Of course I was kind of expecting you to do that any way since we read the files on the disk that you gave us and saw the modifications that you want to make. If you ask me those new modifications well make them even better warriors." He said

" Well is that a complement from ONI. That's something I don't see every day."

" Believe or no Dr. Halsley we are a lot like the rumors that people say about ONI but we are still just human." Uemastu said.

Chief Mendez walked toward the New Spartans.

" Spartans! Attention!" Mendez said.

" Today you have all graduated from your training where you well comments you duties. To help you with these duties we have a surprise." He said

He told the Original Spartans to come over.

" These are you superiors." He said Pointing at Kelly.

The Spartans saluted.

" They well be in charged of the whole team. You well all train and get ready tell you new armors have been completed. Once they are you well commence your mission which I well explain once that day comes." He said

Mendez backed away toward Kelly

" Spartans they are all yours." he said.

Mendez left with the group toward the his office while all the Spartans stayed to get to know each other.

A Spartan walked over to Kelly.

He saluted.

" Mam I'm the team leader of my Spartans. I'm Corporal. Allen. Let me start by saying that it's an Honor to be under your command. We have been told about all of your exploits by Chief Mendez." Allen said.

" Nice to meet you Allen. There are no need for formalities with us your all equal. Only use are ranks if you are in front of an officer. I'm Kelly they are Fred, Rachel, Adam, Ben, Zero, Scott." Kelly introduced her team.

" By the way Kelly. Where is the Master Chief and weren't there more of you?" Allen asked.

She lowered her head.

" Half of us where wiped out at Reach. The Master Chief Is MIA somewhere." Kelly said sadly

" I'm sorry."

" Don't be we are still alive and as long as we live there will still be pain to be given against the Covenant." Kelly said.

" By the way I heard some where that we have new weapons. Is that true?" Fred asked

" That's true Fred. You guys want to see them?" Allen said

" You bet your ass we do." Adam added.
