Covenant Holy City: High Charity

Fleet Master Thel 'Vadam stood before the hierarchs along with other Sangheili of his rank or higher. He stood proud and didn't show any curiousity as to why he and the others have been summoned.

The holy prophet of Mercy who was the eldest of the three hierarchs spoke the first to speak to the fleet masters as well as the rest of the covenant's High Council.

"You've been asked here to help in a mission that'll help defeat the human infidels. In what we believe will be a crush blow to them."

The prophet of Regret continued on "Intel has been provided to us about a powerful Human military world and you all shall cleanse the planet of all humanity that are upon it."

"Where does this intel come from noble one." Asked a Sangheili to Thel's right.

The most powerful and most respected of the prophet hierarchs known as Truth sat up on his hover seat like pod as he answered. "The intel comes from a group of humans that we're more then willing to help us in destroying the military they call the UNSC. To prove they were to be trusted with information they shared they provided additional information about these."

He pressed a button his pod and showed a hologram of armour unlike anything Thel had ever seen. "The warriors that wear this armour are unholy demons who destroy all within there path and we're believed to be myth amongst our ranks. But they are very real."

"Still.. what if it's a trap to destroy us?" Asked one of the Sangheili councillors.

"That's why we're sending an attack force so large that any trap they set won't be enough to stop us." Spoke Regret.

Thel finally found his voice and asked "What is the name of this military world."

Truth turned towards his direction. "The Humans call it... Reach."

Planet: Gannick 22

Itsuka stood beside Captain Shockey wearing her formal military uniform rather then some on the fancier side. Shockey noticed this and commented "It is a ball. You could've worn something else if you wished. You weren't required to wear that."

Itsuka nodded as she adjusted her hat under her arm. "I'm aware sir. But I am here as a Marine. Not a model."

Shockey smiled and nodded in understanding and relief that she's come for the right reasons. Another middle aged gentleman approached and shook Shockeys hand. "James it's good to see you."

"Likewise. Sargent Kendo this is Captain Jacob Keyes." Replied Shockey as he introduced the two.

Kendo saluted to the superior office and Keyes returned the salute. "So you wouldn't happen to know what this shindig is all about do you Jacob?"

"I do have my suspicions but I'm not entirely sure." Replied Keyes.

The two captains and Marine Sargent began to notice the media reporters gathering around gaining the attention of the other guests in the room. On a nearby stage Lord Hood stood on a podium and addressed everyone.

"First of all I'd like to thank you all for coming this evening. As you all are very much aware of we are in a fight for the survival of our kind. With every victory we secure we suffer great lost at its cost."

"And so in these dark times we need a light to help shine through. Just like how All Might was a beacon of peace and hope before the war we need one now." At that comment a few eyes shifted towards the old Pro. The fact the man was in the room gave comfort to some.

"And so I'd like to introduce you all to the Heroes that help humanity stand tall against the covenant threat."

A pair of super armoured soldiers stepped out onto the stage and stood at attention beside Lord Hood. "Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Petty Officer Spartan 087 and the team leader of all the Spartans Petty Officer Master Chief Spartan 117."

Whilst Aizawa, All Might and Itsuka stared with hanging Jaw's recognising the Spartans from the I-Moon incident. Everyone else stared in awe and amazement at these seemingly heartless cold metal war machines. Standing like perfect statues. No one could imagine what was going through the Spartans heads.

Meanwhile in Izuku's head "holy crap holy crap holy crap there's a lot of people and a lot of cameras. WHY AM I FREAKING OUT!?!? I've commanded top secret military operations for god sake!!!"

In Kelly's head "Jesus Christ you're lucky I'm the only one who can notice him panicking. Pull it together Chief."

Cameras began to flash and the Spartans helmets polarised to prevent them from becoming blinded. It was going to be a long night.

Fortunately the legendary appearance of the Spartans was enough to intimidate most of the guests from mingling with them. But not all of them.

Kelly found herself standing beside Lord Hood as he gave an interview to the press occasionally passing questions to her which she would answer without compromising classified information.

"Excuse Me" spoke All Might approaching the Spartan.

"All Might sir. Pleasure to see you again." Said Kelly as she shook the old pros hand.

"Likewise young lady. I was wondering if I could have a word with your team leader. Where is he?" He asked

Kelly looked around for him and wondered to herself "That's a good question."

Outside Izuku stood outside staring at the night sky wondering about his other Spartans. Fred, Will and Linda were currently working sercurity at the event itself. Jorge had been selected to be part of fire team Noble. Izuku didn't know anything more then that.

Red team which was lead by Jerome was stationed on the Spirit Of Fire but the ship went MIA some time ago. For a time Kurt had replaced Sam as the fifth member on blue team. But his jet pack malfunctioned during a mission launching him deep and unfindable in space.

It ached losing members of his team. His family.

"Mind if I join you"

Izuku turned to see Itsuka standing in the doorway and it took him a moment to remember working with her on earth during the Yakuza raid. "Battle Fist wasn't it?"

"Surprised you remembered me but I don't go by that anymore. I'm a Sargent in the UNSC so Kendo is fine or Itsuka with you'd like." She said as she took a spot beside him.

Izuku said nothing and continued staring out to the night. "I never did learn your name Chief" said Itsuka casually.

"My name?" Izuku wondered out loud.

"Surely your parents didn't name you 117" replied Itsuka with a raised brow. "Or is that Classified?"

"It's not anymore since the announcement.. it's Izuku." He answered

"Izuku... suits you." Itsuka thought out loud as she leaned against a railing

"What Izuku suits an armoured soldier?"

"Nah. It suits the man in the armour. I have seen you helmetless before." The ex hero retorted.

This surprised the Spartan. He struggled to remember him taking his helmet off infront of the heroes but honestly he couldn't remember anything past the middle of the fight against Overhaul.

"You injured at the time. You knocked yourself out when you jammed a grenade inside the Yakuza leader." Said Itsuka assuming Izuku was trying to remember the how.

Izuku remembered that detail but not it happening. He pressed the manual release and removed his helmet "Am I what you remember?"

Itsuka looked at the man. Wild untamed green hair just as she remembered. But his Emerald eyes looked tired from fighting despite how hard he's tried to hide it.

"Yeah you're the cutie I remember."

The sentence not only surprised the Spartan but the Marine aswell. She had no idea why she said that or where it came from but it was too late. She looked away in embarrassment unaware of the blush forming on Izukus pale cheeks.

Izuku decided to reply with what he would hope was a compliment to her. "Thanks. You're pretty."

Itsuka regained her composure and turn to him "you don't have much experience talking to women do you?"

"I talk to women all the time. I have two on my team." Retorted Izuku quickly

"Not what I mean Chief." Chuckled the Marine

Izuku wore a very confused expression on his face "I'm afraid I don't understand."

Itsuka try to find a way to explain but was interrupted by the arrival of Kelly. "Izuku! There you are. I've been trying to radio you for ages!"

Izuku quickly pulled his helmet back on "Sorry. What's the problem."

"We gotta go. New Mission" explained Kelly. Izuku nodded and turned to Itsuka "I'm afraid I have leave."

"I understand. You two are humanity's new hope after all" she smiled softly. Izuku couldn't help but smile behind his faceplate at the woman. Kelly looked between the two and smirked "Hey you two can get a room and we'll go on the mission later if you like Team Leader."

Itsuka squeaked and turned bright red while Izuku choked on air and tried to speak in denial of the situation but wasn't doing a good job of making sense.

Kelly laughed as she walked off "That was mean." Radioed Linda who saw everything from her sniper position.

Planet Onyx

Spartan Kurt 051 who was now referred to as Lieutenant Ambrose had been finally successful at achieving something that had been his goal since taking on the secret Spartan III program. And that was to create another way to create the quirk erasing medication without taking the blood from Eri. The poor girl had suffered enough.

Now he was able to clone her blood cells with her unique quirk ability. But unfortunately she couldn't return to live a normal life like he had hoped. But for now he had a new plan in place to at least get her out of a lab. Although the risk of the plan may make her life span incredibly short just like many others under his command.

Planet: Reach

July 24th 2552

Eri who was now renamed Spartan B312 rode in the passenger seat of a warthog heading towards a UNSC base to join up with her new team.She carefully ran a gloved hand over her forehead over where her horn once was. But since she had her quirk removed by Lieutenant Ambrose her horn disappeared with it.

Her quirk was replaced with Augmentations. They didn't hurt her as much as the others who got augmented with her. She had already long ago built up a pain tolerance.

She pulled on her helmet and locked it into place before stepping out of the warthog and strolled past some older Spartans that eyed her off as she stepped into a tent.

Three more Spartans in the room turned to her as she made her presence known. The largest bodied Spartan spoke "So that's our new Number 6"

(A/N: the halo universe is pretty large with many many stories. So apologies if I miss some of the finer details. But there's only so much I can fit in with out making the story drag.

Especially since I'm purely skimming through just to make the story follow Izuku/master chief.

Anyways hope you enjoy this quick update.

PLUS ULTRA!)
