A/N: This is my first story in a while so don't complain about it if it sucks. I have placed it in the Halo section because the main character is a SPARTAN (or at least something very similar but slightly different) and I stole some other ideas from Halo (e.g. The Covenant, Slipspace, ect.) Please Read and Review. Enjoy!

Prologue:

SPARTAN-115, Adrian, strode confidently down the narrow corridor towards the Admiral's room. A woman wearing the typical light gray and blue uniform walked by Adrian and he turned his head to follow her. Woah. Nice buns. Before he turned his head to look forward he walked into the door to the Admiral's room. Shit. He pressed the small blue button beside the door and it slid open. Admiral Jacob sat in his very comfortable leather chair holding a PIU (Portable Information Unit) and a pistol. Normally Adrian would not worry about a pistol but he was currently out of his MJOLNIR combat armor. The new MK. 3 parts had just arrived and his suit was being upgraded. What the hell is he doing with a gun. Aimed at my head. "Adrian, I'm sorry, but this is necessary. You see, I have been informed by very reliable sources that you are a double agent working for the covenant. I and my associates are the only ones who possess the knowledge. And don't worry. When I shoot you I'll just say you tried to kill me and they'll believe me," said the Admiral with a grin. "And you thought you could just walk around like god without anyone realizing that you were a traitor. I was always wondering how the Covenant managed to find out the location of all our colonies but now I know," he paused. "You. I don't know how they convinced a battle-hardened Spartan who lives to kill Humanity's enemies but it still disgusts me." What the fuck his he talking about. I'm not a traitor. Adrian looked into the mirror that covered the entire back wall and saw something interesting. He saw a small purple insect thing inside the admiral's head. It's tail was hanging out of the scalp.

"Sir, I am not a traitor. Sorry," said Adrian before pushing the desk forwards and diving backwards out of the room. The admiral's pistol got knocked out of his hand when the desk hit him. Jacob quickly picked up his pistol and raced out of the room. Adrian was nowhere. He keyed on the com and was about to raise the alarm when Adrian dropped onto him from the ceiling. Adrian adeptly knocked the pistol out of the admiral's hand and had him on the ground in a second. He grabbed the pistol and knocked the admiral out. At that instant a pair or guards rounded the corner and saw him. They raised the alarm. My only chance is to get to the hangar. I need somewhere safe to think about this and decide what to do. He sprinted down the corridor before the guards could shoot him and quickly turned a corner to get to the hangar. After another thirty seconds of running he arrived at the hangar. He opened the door and saw fifty armed guards waiting in there. He dived to the side faster than humanly possible and narrowly avoided a hail of bullets. He kept sprinting along the corridors but he kept getting blocked of by guards. He finally came to a dead end. He opened the door and went into the droid bay. The only escape from the room was sealed and locked down. A few seconds after he got in tons of guards rushed in. Instead of shooting him they moved up to beat him into submission so they could question him. Adrian quickly worked his hands deflecting most of the blows and every once in a while he had time to knock a guard out but in a couple minutes he was overwhelmed and blackness enveloped him.

Amanda sat quietly, deep in her daily mediation ritual. She sensed a growing evil present in the outer ring of the galaxy. An image of a purple insect flashed in her mind. Then the image of a man making an inaudible scream of pain as an insect burrowed into his head. After that she saw a thick cloud of red mist spreading throughout space. Her last image was an alien's face. It's species was unknown to her however. It had spiky mandibles, six eyes, no nose, no ears, and it had two horns growing out of its head. It had tiny spikes growing around it's eyes and it's mouth. The most disturbing part was that in the background lay thousands of bloody human cadavers, slowly coming to life one by one as purple ghost-like creatures flew into the mangled corpses. Amanda suddenly awoke then fell unconscious.
