Disclaimer: Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't own these characters,
so you guys can't sue!
A/N: Thanks for all of the positive reviews and suggestions. However, if you've noticed, the team is complete with 12. If you would plan to write a story similar like this (people from different games/movies all fighting the Covenant) you are free to, just don't use the exact characters that I did. I've been getting a lot of suggestions about Neo...hmmm...there must be a lot of Matrix fans over here. But I just didn't think it would be appropriate for Neo in this kind of a story, thanks anyway.

"Cortana, continue on to the co-ordinates of the new Halo...we better get rid of this thing so the Monitor's plan doesn't go out quite as planned."
"Chief, I don't think it will be as easy as last time...for all we know, that thing can be swarming with Covenant, Flood and Sentinels...oh wait, never mind."
The chief smirked at her. He could only hope it would be as easy as the last time. This time, he had a great crew. This time, he had to finish all of these beasts for good. He wasn't completely sure how to do it yet, but he knew that he would find a way.
Hours flew by. The team kept themselves busy by learning how to use the new Covenant weapons and grenades. Finally, they were in landing distance of the new Halo.
"Chief, how should we do this?" Cortana asked.
"Find a safe place for landing. From there, hopefully we could find the Control Room." He responded.
Cortana did her best to land on the ring world. She found something to be very odd, however, that this ring looked exactly identical to the first Halo they encountered. That meant that it wouldn't be hard finding the control center, she would just use the cartographer she had hidden away in her data vault from her previous encounter on Halo.
"Chief, I'm going to land us as close to the control center as possible." Cortana stated. "The clearest landing place is a few kilometers away. We'll have to go on foot by there."
"Weren't there some Ghosts in the storage room?" asked Max.
"There's not enough for everyone, and we need to stick together." The chief stated.
Cortana pulled the Invader close to the ground, then activated the gravity lift. The chief yanked her out of the control board of the ship and re- inserted her into his helmet. She sighed in relief.
"It's good to be back." She said.
The team picked up all of their arms, and headed toward the gravity lift.
"Remember team, we're fighting more than one enemy, so the odds are stacked against us. First thing we have to do is break the Monitor's alliance with the Covenant. Let's go!"
The team jumped down the gravity lift and safely landed on the surface of the ring. The snowy ground felt extremely familiar to the Master Chief. Unfortunately for them, a band of Flood were heading their way.
"It's pretty cold over here..." Marle said, shivering.
The chief noticed movement on his motion senser. "Something is heading this way!"
Just as those words were spoken, a group of Flood, Combat forms, carriers and spores, turned a corner and charged at the team. They opened fire. The spores popped like a candle in hydrogen gas. Carriers exploded causing a few combat forms to fall. But they wouldn't stay down.
"There's too many!" 47 yelled.
"Chief! Behind you!" Samus yelled.
The chief turned only to get struck in the head from a former Elite. A purple beam flew over the Chief and nailed the creature in the chest, then another. The creature fell. Jack and Nick emptied out their clips into the horrendous monsters.
Marle and Lucca looked at each other. "Antipode!" they both yelled.
A stream of ice came from Marle's finger as a stream of fire came from Lucca's. They two met and made a huge explosion of fire and ice together. Four combat forms were caught in the middle. After the blast, their bodies were charred black but freezing to the touch. Tommy looked at the two.
"You guys can do that shit too? Holy fuck! We gotta bunch of magicians on our hands, chief." He said.
A red beam from the sky suddenly shot out and knocked Tommy to his knees. More came down as Sentinels surrounded Team Omega. The Monitor made his appearance.
"May I say you handled those creatures very well, Reclaimer. But I am not through with you."
That was the cue for the Covenant to come out from their hiding. Elites, including a Commander armed with a laser sword, a Prophet and dual Hunters.
"I think it would be better if you would just die now." The little robot said.
"Don't you see what he plans to do to you!" Samus yelled at the aliens. "He's going to wipe you out as well as the Flood! It's the only way!"
The Covenant looked at each other strangely. The prophet slowly moved toward Samus. The chief readied his Assault rifle, but Samus motioned him not to do anything. The prophet stared at Samus, then turned to the commander and spoke in an alien language.
"(I sense truth from this one)"
The commander nodded. He let out a loud battle cry as the rest of them turned upward and fired at the Sentinels. They dropped, one by one.
"You fool! What are you doing?!" 343 Guilty Spark yelled out at the Commander.
"(You were going to kill us too. You will pay for this treason!)"
The monitor turned to Samus "You...You will pay for this!" He flew off in anger.
Team Omega backed up a bit, as Tommy unleashed his Flamethrower on the unsuspecting aliens. The Hunters charged up their fuel rod cannons and fired, sending members of Team Omega flying in all directions. They decided to make a run for the control room. They headed over the huge snowy plain and up the tower. As the chief activated the door, six sentinels flew through.
"Take them down!" Sgt. Johnson yelled. The team opened fire with their weapons. One by one, the sentinels came crashing down. They continued into the main room. As the final door opened, the team stepped into the control room in awe. It was a huge, vast room with a single pathway forming a circle in the center all around a large hologram of Halo. As the chief walked up to the control pad, he took Cortana's chip out of his helmet and inserted her into the control pad. Her hologram came up over the controls.
"Chief, from the information I'm getting, the monitor has already armed and readied Halo for it to fire at its two targets..." she said.
"What are the targets?" he asked.
"The Covenant home world, which I now have the co-ordinates to...and Earth."
"Can you stop it, Cortana?"
"Only if the energy beacons are destroyed, but neither target will be hit."
The chief turned to face Team Omega. "Team, the first thing we have to do is to find and disable the energy beacons on this ring. Secondly, we need to get to the Covenant home world and personally put them out of their misery!"
The team cheered. But what were the odds of Team Omega coming through, now that especially fighting three enemies? There is no doubt that 343 Guilty Spark would have another plan, but for now, they could only do so much.
Cortana buzzed up the admiral on her comm. station. "Admiral? Yes, I have the co-ordinates to the Covenant home world. Gather up the UNSC...It's our turn."
