Welcome back hope you all enjoyed the last chapter, the number of people reading the story keeps on growing and I hope it continues to. As normal I will respond to all comments on previous chapters in the next ones, the gap between chapter realises might increase as the plot thickens and it requires more time to write and check. An Author I would like to give credit to is TallYapflip who wrote what I consider to be one of the best Clone Wars and Halo Crossover out of the lot. Other than that Enjoy the Third chapter.

ShadowNinja10 - Thank you, there will be much more Spartan activity. I don't know If I will include the Masterchief of Blue team since that has been done lots of times already. And I know that people can wait. I just enjoy writing them although the gap between chapter releases might increase as the plot thickens.

Guest - Lo consideré, pero pensé que sería un poco demasiado complicado y los Sangheili han tenido el mayor cumplimiento con la Humanidad y el CSNU, así que me quedé con ellos, bueno, los veré más adelante.

Nliochristou - It takes place in the Star wars Year 21BBY and Halo Year 2564. The flood has been completely eradicated so they will not show up but I can assure you they will be shocked by a lot that comes with the UNSC.

The-Killer40513 - Even this early I can confidently say that the UEG and UNSC will not attack the Republic

Guest - I definitely agree that a large portion of the Senate is corrupt in fact it is one of the reasons I don't like the Republic but the UNSC will definitely not be taking orders or submit to the will of the chancellor or the Senate. I don't want to say anything more on it for risk of spoilers but you'll see.

Guest - Due to the reason that the UNSC is there to help those suffering under the CIS they will not be glassing or commencing nuclear bombardments but that doesn't mean they won't deal some serious damage.

Final Note: While I do consider myself to be a massive fan of both Star Wars and Halo I do try and make sure my science and data regarding both universes is correct please leave a review if you believe something is inaccurate in some way.

Chapter Three: Infinity

As the Jedi and Clones stood on the bridge of the Infinity they witnessed the ship slowly gaining altitude and Kamino getting smaller and smaller, When the ship turned so that the bow was facing away from the Planet, Eleven more of the silver hulled UNSC ships joined the Infinity with the smaller Hyperion and Ajax class ships formed a side by sideline at the port and starboard sides of the Infinity and the single Titan-class dreadnaught in the gap in between the first ship on Infinity's port side forming a spearhead with the Infinity and Keys at the front, as they opened another huge rift in the space above Kamino quickly moving towards it Kenobi grew more curious about this method of travel.

"Admiral Lasky, would you mind explaining to us how these rifts of yours work as a way of travelling as it seems it is significantly different from the Hyperdrives used for faster than light travel in the galaxy," Kenobi asked while gesturing to the slip-space portal they were getting closer to.

Lasky was jubilant to respond "Certainly, I'll do my best but the Science behind it is very complex, I forgot our method of faster than light travel is different from yours, Slipspace or Slipstream is a dimensional subdomain where the laws of physics and mass don't exist and the relative distance between points in space is impossibly different, though it is impossible to traverse without an AI or navigational computer due to the complex calculations needed, the Infinity alone needs over 10 quadrillion calculations of the quantum field per second". Lasky attempted to explain

"Truly, Fascinating Admiral, how long will it take us to reach Coruscant like this?" Kenobi asked intrigued,

"It should be around 5 hours of travel time before we resume sublight speeds, but until then might I offer a tour of the ship, I am without doubt that soon we'll be fighting together and the more we can understand about each others strengths and weakness the better" Admiral Lasky Suggested

"Alright Admiral, I won't deny that I am excitedly curious about this ship of yours," Anakin said before the four of them being lead out of the bridge and through the main corridors of the Infinity, Some aspects were similar to the ships the Jedi and Clones had served on such as the common Republic Venator destroyer such as the rectangular halls and senior officers saluting the Admiral as they walked past. As they walked into a massively open area Captain Rex and Commander Cody being the veterans they were turned their heads instinctively when they heard what sounded like muffled blaster fire but different somehow.

Admiral Lasky did not fail to notice it, "Ah yes this is one of our practice ranges that the marines and ODST's use frequently to sharpen their skills, want to try it, Captain?"

"We have time Rex" encouraged Anakin, "Go on Sir, show them what the 501st can do," said Cody

Only more than happy to prove his skills, Captain Rex approached one of the empty ranges, "Are my blasters going to be ok for this Admiral?" Rex questioned not wanting to damage any part of the ship they were guests on. "Yes, the targets that appear are hardlight and the walls behind the targets are made of self-healing A-3 Titanium, the same material that our ships armour is made of, you won't damage it," Lasky replied

"Blue targets are Friendly and Red are Hostile Ready Sir?" the operator of the range asked Rex who withdrew his duel DC-15 Sidearms and put his helmet on then nodding to the operator who launched the simulator, Immediately two hardlight targets in the form of 3D silhouettes appear moving towards the Captian but only manage to move a few feet before he fires two blaster bolts centre mass and the targets immediately disperse, then four more targets appear in the distance but two are blue and in front of the hostile ones.

Captain Rex holsters one of his blasters using two hands for better accuracy on his remaining one and within two seconds perfectly manage a headshot on both targets missing the blue friendlies. Some of the cadet marines training gather around the Captain in white and blue armour watching his display on the firing range, while watching Rex on the Simulator Anakin notices a Spartan walking past and finally realises something before talking to Admiral Lasky.

"Admiral was the attack on Kamino the UNSC's first military assault on the CIS?" Anakin asked the Admiral who begins to realise what he might be asking him about. "Officially yes why?" Lasky asked already thinking he knew what the Jedi would ask. He then pointed to one of the Spartans checking his armour who turned out to be none other than Spartan Locke of Fireteam Osiris.

"I recognise that soldier from Maridun, we crashed there after a battle had damaged our Navigation system and due to the pacifistic nature of the village that had found and helped us we were asked to leave when separatist forces approached their village but as soon as we fled we heard some kind of heavy whistle followed by crashed and what was definitely sounds of battle and turned back thinking that the droids were attacking a peaceful people but when we got there all the droids had been destroyed and we only saw the people that had wiped them out for a second before there was a missile of some sort come down and the next thing they vanished, literally, but I definitely recognise that soldier". Anakin finished

Lasky understanding that their 'test' had not been fully undiscovered answered the Jedi "That was a test General Skywalker, We had only just declared war and initiated the M.O.R act and were waiting for our Reinforcements to arrive to make a foothold in this Galaxy and our Survalince had shown CIS forces on the planet and since we had no choice but to wait for reinforcements we thought that it would be best to see how effective our weapons and tactics were against our future foe and we sent several small elite forces to eradicate and assess how much of a threat the Separatists were." Lasky answered the Jedi

"Well after your forces left and the Republic arrived we discovered what remained of a weapon developed by the CIS at the fortress they had hastily constructed on the planet which would have had a devasting effect in the war so I guess the Republic owes you it thanks as I assume it was one of your ships that launched that missile," said Skywalker who now understood enough to put his suspicions to rest and resumed watching Rex who had almost completed the simulator.

Kenobi who could see lots of symbols on some of the troop's armour of what appeared to be an oddly shaped skull with red flames on it and underneath four letters 'ODST' curious about the soldiers that had played a large role in saving Kamino Obi-Wan asked Lasky, "Admiral, What does that insignia on some of those soldiers amour mean?" while gesturing to one of the ODST's watching the range.

Admiral Lasky who realised what he was asking about said "It is the insignia for the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers also known as Helljumpers, best troopers in the UNSC Second to the Spartans of course but don't let them hear that" Lasky answered

"Orbital Drop?" Kenobi emphasised thinking it couldn't mean what he thought it did

"Feet first into Hell, General" Lasky replied confidently, their attention was drawn back to Captain Rex who had finished the Range and achieved a respectively high score getting some smirks from the UNSC soldiers who had had their records beaten. "Well Admiral that is brilliant training range, I reckon a few more tries and I'll have the top score, those marines didn't look too pleased," Rex said confidently

"Feel free to Captain we have plenty of time until we reach Coruscant and I am sure that there are many other parts of the ship that you'll find enjoyable, don't worry about getting lost though the Infinity has more security cameras than some planets and now that Roland can use the frequency that your Republic comm link devices use he can direct you to anywhere on the ship."

"If it's alright with you General, Rex and I wouldn't mind a couple of hours training" Cody requested

"I have no objections, Admiral, shall we continue?" Kenobi Asked

"Don't show off to much Rex" Anakin added as they continued through the large clearly marked exit leaving the practice ranges and the two clone wars veterans there the Two Jedi were led by Lasky who was explaining some facts about the ship and UNSC to his future allies, After a few minutes of walking down the white and silvers halls they entered a large silver room with what appeared to be a giant statue of two figures, one was a figure reminiscent of the super soldiers that were deployed on Kamino and the other a large creature which neither of the Jedi had seen before both holding energy swords pointing out.

"That's one of the soldiers that fought on Kamino and Maridun isn't it but I don't recognise the other one" Anikan mentioned wondering who the other energy sword wielder was. "You are mostly right the Spartan is Master Chief 117 without a shadow of a doubt the greatest warrior humanity ever saw, I witnessed him take down entire armies and fleets by himself and commit acts of bravery nobody else would have thought possible. Lasky said then turning to the other, "And that is the Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee a Sangheili who had been given the title as a disgrace after a failure but eventually he and the Masterchief had a common goal and rose up and led the Sangheili with Humanity to stop a threat that would have wiped them all out. Right now they are fighting to put down the last of the covenant". Lasky detailed

"They sound like very capable warriors, though through what we heard when you spoke to the council what kind of threat could be dangerous enough that they would put aside thirty decades of fighting and hatred". Kenobi asked, almost fearful of the answer.

"Something that was more deadly and terrifying than any enemy either side had faced in the past, a parasitic organism that is known as the flood, a single spore can wipeout given enough time an entire species the main reason they are nearly impossible to fight is that they can reanimate the corpse of fallen or alive living beings and control them into attacking. They were so deadly that the only way the now extinct forerunners thought they could destroy the flood was not to kill them but their food and since all life qualifies as food, they built weapons powerful enough to wipe out all living beings in the galaxy and now that the flood has been eradicated thanks to the combined efforts of the UNSC and Sangheili it is our job to find and decommission these weapons." Lasky answered

"This flood sounds truly horrifying Admiral, I can only begin to imagine the battles your brave soldiers have fought in. When compared to the Civil War we have only been engaged in for nearly a couple years it almost seems petty". Kenobi commented

"In my opinion General Kenobi, any war that lasts longer than a day is still one day too long" Lasky spoke wisely

"The words of a peacekeeper indeed" Anakin mentioned.

"During the battle of Kamino, I observed through the helmet footage of Spartan Fireteam Majestic when they stopped who we now know as General Grievous from murdering several clones in a hanger bay and I could clearly see that the lightsabers he used were not the crimson colour that I have come to understand most Sith use such as the one Skywalker and Spartan Jack saw, was he once a Jedi?" Admiral Lasky asked

Kenobi was immediate to respond "Absolutely not, he is nothing but the former shell of a living being who stole those lightsabers and many more from the Jedi he has murdered". He said sternly,

"I understand" Lasky replied

They left the large open room and entered another one several hallways down which opened into one were every wall had melee type weapon on it behind glass and in the centre was a raised platform with two Spartans fighting with energy swords one wears white armour with red marks on it and the other had white cloud-like armour and a helmet with a green visor.

"I thought you might enjoy this, this room was tailor-made for Spartans to practice Melee and Hand to Hand combat as well as swordsmanship. I have come to understand that Jedi do not carry weapons other than their lightsabers".

"You are right Admiral, Jedi are heavily trained in the art of Swordsmanship though I do try to negotiate instead of attack my opponents if at all possible after all the Jedi are supposed to be the peacekeepers of the galaxy".

"Wise way of removing your enemy" Lasky replied as he spoke the Spartan in White and Red armour managed to disarm their opponent and have them on the floor of the platform pointing their weapon at the fallen Spartan who surrenders and the platform lowers. The victorious Spartan takes off their helmet revealing it to be Spartan Commander Sahra Palmer who walks over and salutes Admiral Lasky.

"Good fighting Commander, I was just giving Jedi Generals Skywalker and Kenobi a tour of the ship, their clone soldiers are still in the firing range". Lasky told Palmer

"I'm sure the rookies are going to love having their records beaten," Palmer said sarcastically then noticing the lightsaber on Anakin's hilt, "That must be a lightsaber, the weapon of the Jedi I hear". She comments

He responds by removing it from his hilt and igniting it upwards to the view of all of them and calmly moving through the air "It is, more elegant than a blaster and the perfect defence weapon for a Peacekeeper"

"A Beautiful weapon indeed but are you any good with it?" She questioned almost smugly

Skywalker chuckled slightly "I know a few thousand battle droids that would say yes," he said equally sarcastic before deactivating his lightsaber.

"Care to take part in some sparing, General Skywalker?" Palmer offered while nodding towards the platform

"I don't see why not, Admiral?" He said

Lasky who sighed knowing that Palmer had never been beaten in one on one combat "Alright, but Palmer but take it easy, I don't want to arrive on Coruscant and tell them that one of their most famous generals is missing a hand" He warned

"Don't worry, Sir" She said putting her helmet on and heading to the platform

"Master, are you going to join?" Skywalker asked Kenobi who raised his hand "This one is all you" he smirkingly said.

As they came to the centre of the platform it raised, Anakin asked "rules?"

"Usually none but I'll make an exception," she said

"Oh?" He asked

"Don't Die" she said

As the platform finished rising and she bowed before activating her energy sword and Skywalker did the same, they circled the platform in defensive stances before Skywalker struck first attacking from high leaving his middle exposed which after Palmer had noticed and deflected his initial blow immediately punching him in the gut causing him to stagger backwards getting closer to the edge of the platform.

He regained himself performing several attacks all of which were unsuccessful, however several of commander Palmers attempted attacks also failed, they both underestimated each other before the fight. She tried to block an incoming attack by holding her energy sword in one hand against Skywalker's lightsaber and using her other to grab Anakin's lightsaber hand and disarm him, it worked and his lightsaber fell from his grip deactivating and falling off of the platform.

For a brief moment, it looked like Commander Palmer would best the Jedi, he was without his lightsaber and against the very edge of the platform, Palmer had her blade pointed at him, "Give up?" she asked, smirking beneath her Helmet. Skywalker instead used his power in the force to jump high over Palmer and call his lightsaber from the floor to him, igniting it and landing on the other side of the platform, turning around and having his lightsaber inches away from Palmer's head.

The manoeuvre didn't go without reaction from Palmer though who due to her armour and augmentations turned around by the time the Jedi had landed with his lightsaber pointed at her right next to her head, she had her energy sword right in front of his chest. The duel between two of the Republic and UNSC's best fighters had come to a draw. "You fought valiantly Spartan" He complimented "As did you Jedi" She returned.

The platform lowered and Kenobi and Admiral Lasky approached them both. "I believe we learned a lot from that," said Lasky, Kenobi hummed in agreement.

Before they could discuss the amazing duel between Spartan and Jedi an unarmed man in marine armour came in through the door approaching Admiral Lasky saluting. "What is it private?" Lasky asked the man who had approached him

"Admiral Lasky, you are needed on the bridge there was an incident at the forward-firing range"

Looks of confusion spread across both Lasky's face but also the Jedi who were sure it had nothing to do with Captain Rex and Commander Cody who they had left in the range. They left the room heading slightly fast to the bridge when they entered they saw the two clones and two ODST troopers standing at attention all of whom had marks clearly visible on them.

Lasky who was confused but visibly irritated demanded to know what happened "I can answer that, Sir" answered Roland back in his AI hologram form on the main Holotable of the Bridge bringing up security footage from the firing range, "On his third attempt Captain Rex beat the High Score of ODST trooper Sgt. Hammond and when he finished was intentionally tripped up by Hammond, the Captain was helped up by Commander Cody who demanded an apology from the Sargent."

Roland continued to explain while both the Jedi and Lasky changed glances between the footage and the troopers as the explanation continued.

"An argument clearly ensued which resulted in the Sgt. attempting to throw a punch at the Captain it was blocked by the Commander and a fight between the clones and two ODST's broke out until security was able to break it up". Roland then finished explaining and closed down the footage. Lasky who had been irritated before was now incredibly angry that two soldiers under his command would do such a thing. He turned two the two ODST's particularly Sgt. Hammond.

"Let me make sure I understand this correctly, you intentionally insulted and attacked this trooper who I invited onto my ship as a guest all because he beat your score in the firing range and then when Commander Cody demanded an apology which he was right to do so you two assaulted them right after we just helped them in protecting they're home!" Lasky summed up sounding angrier with each sentence.

The Two ODST's realising their mistake apologised "Apologies Sir, My arrogance got the better of me, It will not happen again" Sgt. Hammond said.

Lasky now slightly calmer "Your damn right it won't happen again, Both of you report to your CO's for disciplinary action." They both saluted and began to leave before being addressed by Captain Rex "Nobody likes to be beaten trooper, just remember who the enemy is" The ODST nodded apologetically and left.

Admiral Lasky then addressed the Jedi and Clones "Generals you have my most sincere apologies for what happened, I am disappointed to see such great soldiers act out of ignorance, especially considering the reasoning for us being here and the Mantle which the military takes very seriously" Lasky formally apologised to the four of them.

"The matter is dealt with and repercussions have been given, I believe we can put this matter behind us" Kenobi stated.

"Good, Roland how much longer until we reach Coruscant?" Lasky asked the AI

"One hour and nineteen minutes, Sir" Roland answered

The remaining time didn't last long as the clones who had invited to the mess hall by some of the marines begun trading war stories with each other and General Skywalker after having witnessed first hand the capabilities of UNSC fighters during the Battle of Kamino was in a test simulation of a Sabre and broadsword fighter. Needless to say, he took a liking to the strange but incredibly effective fighters.

Later on the bridge, they were moments away from Coruscant. "Roland, contact the Jedi and Clone troopers that we are arriving at Coruscant and I would like them on the bridge, they are expecting us but it might make it easier if the Republic Home fleet knew they had Jedi and GAR troops onboard".

Moments later the four of them arrived on the bridge just as the small fleet of UNSC ships pulled out of Slip Space. Even from Space, the city-planet of Coruscant was an amazing sight to behold, an entire planet that was essentially one city that had over a trillion beings living there. As they approached the planet the massive Coruscant home fleet became clearer and it was clear that this was a very well protected planet.

"Captain We're being hailed by the lead ship of the Republic fleet" One of the Communications Officers reported to the Admiral. "Here we go," he said before accepting the Hail, "This is Admiral Thomas J Lasky of the UNSC Ship Infinity, I believe you were expecting us"
