Hello guys and welcome to a new crossover that I'm doing. This one is something that I've been thinking for awhile and it could be potentially good in the future. Anyway enjoy the story.

Reach, Year: 2552

A planet containing a human colony and the birthplace of the legendary Spartan ll program. This planet was within the Epsilon Eridani system as part of the Inner Colonies not far from Earth. Originally colonized for its titanium deposits, there was an even greater object uncovered by ONI as it turned out be an ancient Forerunner artifact that dates back to the era of the Forerunners. The artifact contained great importance as it gave away the planet's location for the Covenant to arrive.

Humanity has been at war with the Covenant for decades as Humanity was on the defense while the Covenant advanced their mass genocide on the human race and their continuation of the Great Journey. The war would come to Reach as it was the home to the Spartan lls and that it must be defended at all costs. Many Spartan lls currently on Reach were tasked with eliminating Covenant forces with the assistance of Spartan llls who were also brought there from different companies.

The fighting was relentless as Covenant forces continue to keep pouring onto Reach and ground forces of the UNSC were starting plummet heavily. Casualties were high as Spartans fell to their deaths, UNSC marines and civilians being slaughtered by the invaders. The city of New Alexandria was heavily populated by civilians as it became a battleground between both forces. Marines and Spartan llls were tasked with destroying enemy jammers and Covenant ground and air forces that were targeting evacuation transports.

In a Pelican...

A Spartan lll along with six marines were being transported to a safely designated area close to their objectives. The Spartan had his head down as thoughts ran through his head of his humanity and whether he'll survive this war. A tap on his shoulder was felt as he lifts his head to turn to a marine sitting beside him. The marine was shy but at the same time has some hope as he stretches a hand out to him.

" It's nice to work with you Spartan." he says with gratitude as the Spartan gazed at his hand through the golden visor and in return shakes his slowly.

" Likewise." he responds with low voice as the marine was shook from the tone.

This Spartan was clad in CQC armor with the colors being black with some mustard yellow in small areas. In his arms is a M392 DMR along with an M90 Assault Shotgun sling on his back. He is Marcus-B709 from Beta Company as he along with his Spartan brethren were orphans from other colonies that were decimated by the Covenant. At first when he was selected, he didn't have the urge to fight for humanity as hope had left his body until Kurt-051 had to bring him back. His senior helped give him a reason to fight as he couldn't let anyone else suffer the same fate he had.

After going through the permutations and training, Marcus was prepared to go out on suicide missions such as the next operation that was going to take place. Operation: Torpedo's main goal is to destroy a Covenant Refinery on the moon Pegasi Delta in the Pegasi system with almost the entire Beta company assigned to it except for Marcus. He and a few of his fellow Spartan llls were selected to not participate in the operation as it angered the young Spartan of not having to fight alongside his brethren.

After hearing the news that almost the entire company was wiped out, Marcus could only rage and weep for his fallen comrades as there were many that he knew and grew up with. He couldn't let their deaths cloud his mind as he needed to continue fighting for humanity as he wanted to kill the alien bastards.

As time passed by with the war dragging on, Reach was founded by the Covenant as they dispatched a large invasion force to invade the planet. The colony needed to be protected at all costs as Reach was the final line of defense between the Inner Colonies and Earth as the Covenant continued to advance further.

The battle of Reach came as Spartan lls and llls were dispatched along with UNSC defense forces. Marcus wasn't assigned to any Spartan groups such as Noble Team as he would have to work with marines and Odsts to help destroy Covenant ground forces stationed on Reach. New Alexandria is the perfect place to test out his training as before he came to Reach, he was givin a special variant of the CQC armor to help improve his combat capabilities when in close range with the enemy.

The Pelican slowly began to descend on top of a open platform of a skyscraper as the hangar door slowly descended down to reveal the surroundings. The skyscraper was still intact however suffered significant damage with parts of the structure blown off. " This is as far as I can go." stated the pilot as the Spartan and Marines exited the vessel and landed on the platform as the Pelican slowly ascended and flew away from their vision.

Marcus took in the atmosphere as he felt the coldness in his heart of the destruction the Covenant has caused to the city. A radioed voice suddenly spoke in the group's inner communications as it belonged to someone of high rank. " Listen up Demo Squad, your objective is to destroy three Anti-Air Turrets that are tearing apart civilian transports in this section of the city. Get it done, the more you wait the more civilians are killed. Command out."

" Let's get to it Marines. Spartan lead the way." the Sergeant of the squad orders as Marcus responds with a nod.

The group began their mission as they slowly traverse in the lower levels of the skyscraper. It appears that the Anti-Air cannons are located on another building as they needed to find a way to get there. They arrived in a large opening of the building with an open view of the building where the objectives are located as energy shots can be seen flying above the building and at civilian transports.

The group was stuck as they had no way of getting across a wide distance as some of the marines complained that they should've landed on the building. " Dammit were stuck!" one said.

" Sergeant, how are we supposed to deal with the cannons if we don't have a Pelican or Falcon?" another asking his superior with frustration.

" Quiet you two! Spartan, got any ideas?" the Sergeant asks as he noticed the tall armored humanoid staring out at the other side.

" One." he answers as he sets his DMR down.

" I can throw you all across." he explains as the Marines were dumbfounded at the idea.

" Yep were going to die." one marine said as he was suddenly picked up by the Spartan as he started to flail in his arms.

" Let me go! Let me go!" the marine shouts as Marcus ignores him and begins measuring the trajectory and how much force he needs to exert in throwing.

Having calculated the trajectory and predicting the amount of force, the Spartan didn't hesitate as held the entire body of the marine in one hand and his other arm planked out facing the other side. With a grunt, Marcus throws the marine with rapid force outside of the building and into the other as the marine cried for his life before landing inside the opening with his back skidding on the dirty ground.

He groaned in pain as he rubbed his back while cursing the Spartan. The other Marines couldn't believe that he was capable of such power as the Spartan turns to the others. " Any objections?" he asks pleasantly as they shook their heads.

" Good."

5 minutes later...

The rest of Demo Squad had finally arrived at the targeted building from the Spartan's athletic might as they prepared to make their way to the roof but something was missing. Marcus was still in the building that they were all in previously as they looked back at him who was going back within as the Sergeant calls to him. " Spartan where are you going?" he demanded.

" Get to those cannons, I'll find a way across." Marcus responded.

" Alright then, try not to die from falling." the Sergeant says as he orders his marines to begin heading to the roof of the building.

The lone Spartan lll made his way to the upper levels of the skyscraper as he planned on jumping from high altitude hopefully making it across as it was a ninety percent chance that he'll fall to his death but it was still worth trying. As he continued walking the upper levels, he was greeted by Grunts and Jackals as their fates suffered his hands as they were easily dispatched.

He finally came to a level of the skyscraper where there was a good view of the Anti-Air cannons as they continued to shoot down civilian transports that are flying in their radar. Time was ticking as he needed to stop those cannons. Before he could jump, he noticed Demo Squad through his increased scopes of his visor as the Squad was currently engaging the enemy.

They were getting hammered badly by many Covenant troops stationed there as Marcus bit his lip. He needed to get there immediately as he suddenly heard the sounds of Banshees soaring in the air which gives him a sign that air support had arrived for the enemy. Three Banshees were approaching the targeted location as this gave him an idea instantly as he prepares to jump.

A Banshee appeared as it flew alongside the building Marcus was in as he sprinted quickly and jumped onto the Banshee as it started to spin around due to his weight added on the aircraft. With instinct, the Spartan pops open the cockpit with an elite piloting it and kicks it out as it flailed its arms and legs into the air before falling all the way to its death. Having seized control of the Banshee, Marcus made quick work with the other two that were approaching him as he was able out maneuver them.

Such action resulted in the two Banshees being blown apart by the fuel rod cannon Marcus fired with as they fell out of the air in plasmic flames. With the air now cleared, Marcus focused his attention on the large force that is hammering Demo Squad as he opens fire on them with the plasma cannons as they were mowing down many Covenant soldiers. The enemy was in disarray as they were taken by surprise of a hijacked Banshee as it swept back around for another gun run.

Demo Squad cheered for the Spartan as it shows that they still have a chance at completing the mission as the Sergeant ordered them to keep pressing forward. As Marcus continued to fire on the enemy, he then saw the three Anti-Air cannons that they were sent to destroy as he steers the Banshee to them. With one in his sight, Marcus fired a fuel rod shot as it decimated the cannon into pieces with Covenant infantry near it caught in the explosion.

" One down, two to go." Marcus mutters as he flew towards the second cannon.

Before he could lock onto it, Marcus received warning indicators on the mainframe of the Banshee as many fuel rod shots were coming right at him as he shifting side to side to avoid being hit.

As he continues dodging, his focus on the rear was blurred as one of the elites on the ground managed to fire a fuel rod shot in his blind spot as it hit the Banshee, causing the aircraft to spark electricity. Its shields were down as one more hit could get him killed as Marcus decides to ram the thing into the second cannon. The control frame of the Banshee was beginning to overload quickly due to the severe damage it had taken as it began to lose control as the Spartan had no choice but to abandon it.

He immediately jumped out as he landed on the roof as the Banshee spun straight until it collapse away from the cannon as it exploded into blue flames. His plan didn't work as he needed to get to the cannon with enough firepower to destroy which thankfully he came equipped with explosives when he arrived as he began battling through waves of Covenant forces.

Meanwhile the marines were able to clear out the remaining forces that had kept them pinned down thanks to Marcus's assistance with the Banshee. " Can't you believe that, he saved our asses." one marine said with relief.

" Now is not the time to rest. We got two cannons to destroy. Pick up the pace marines and assist the Spartan!" the Sergeant ordered.

" Oooraaahh!" the marines responded in unison as they made their way to the Spartan as they lay cover fire from behind.

Marcus managed to fend off two Elites with his shotgun as they easily fell along with Grunts being gunned down with ease with his DMR. He managed to reach the second cannon as it was unguarded which gave him the opportunity to set the explosives. Gunfire was heard from behind as he glances back to see Demo Squad had caught up with him and are currently engaging the remaining enemy.

Setting a total of five explosives on the cannon, Marcus activated the detonator from behind at a safe distance as the cannon exploded massively which shook the ground a bit as it fell apart into flames. As the Spartan turns back to Demo Squad, the sound of cheering and laughter filled the air as they are in high spirits of him able to destroy the second objective with ease.

" Excellent work Spartan, Demo Squad onward to the last objective!" the Sergeant roared as the marines alongside Marcus made one last push to the last cannon.

This would become chaos as more enemy forces from before had set up defensive lines to keep their last cannon from being destroyed as the marines and Spartan took behind cover while returning fire. Bullets and plasma projectiles flew in the air as they hit debris, walls, and all sorts with some of the marines managing to land some shot on Grunts.

As they continued firing, two giant beings appeared on the Covenant side as Elites made way for them to enter the frontlines to crush the them. " Hunters incoming!" one marine shouted as they braced for the two big aliens who were firing their fuel rods while using their shields to block the bullets.

Marcus examined the situation their in as they won't be able to last long enough as Demo Squad could be finished while he's still fighting all by himself. He needed to take down the hunters fast as he broke out of cover and sprinted toward them with shotgun in hand. One of the hunters tried to smash him but was quickly avoided as Marcus slid beneath the giant and fired from behind at its exposed weak points.

The Hunter roared in pain as it fell apart into the colony of worm organisms, signaling that the beast was down as one remained. Marcus focused its attention on the second Hunter as it came charging at him with great speed. He managed to sidestep it before it could hit him as it rammed into many debris as it became stunned. An idea popped into his mind as he pulls out his combat knife and clambered onto the alien as he stabs it with a lot force in the exposed neck area, getting it to start flailing around as it moved blindly toward the Covenant infantry.

Elites, Jackals, and Grunts were in confusion as well as shock as the Spartan controlled Hunter started to blindly ram into their forces with Elites being knocked away by brute force while Grunts perishing beneath. Demo Squad was in awe as they witness the super soldier doing the heavy work as they follow from behind while continuing to fire. It wouldn't be long before they managed to penetrate through defensive lines as Marcus sent the Hunter out with a bang by jumping off its back while shooting many shells at its exposed back parts, killing it in the process.

The last cannon was in their reach as Marcus had some remaining explosives at hand while Demo Squad continue to fire at the disarrayed Covenant infantry. " Spartan, do it now!" the Sergeant ordered as the Spartan dashed to the cannon and place the last explosives on it.

Marcus detonated the last explosives as the cannon was destroyed in a ball of flames. " Command. This is Marcus. The three Anti-Aircraft cannons are neutralized." he reports.

" Excellent work Spartan. We can now evacuate the remaining transports with ease. Were sending a Pelican to your position. Come back in one piece. Command out."

As the Spartan popped out a flare to signal their location, explosives erupted on the roof as the ground shook from heavy Banshee fire. Marines shouted to retreat back from the barrage as Banshees did bombing runs on their locations as enemy infantry backed off. " Get to cover." Marcus shouts as Demo Squad braced for impact behind whatever remained as incoming Banshee continue to fire fuel rod shots at them.

One had hit very closely to them to the point that one marine was smoked and dead from the close explosive radius. " Man down!" a marine shouted as he ran to his dead comrade.

" Incoming!" another yelled as a Banshee shot another fuel rod at them which resulted in two more dead.

" Hold this position marines!" the Sergeant yelled as he opened fire on the Banshees as well as Marcus.

The enemy aircrafts left the scene as ground forces reappeared but with their numbers bigger than before. Demo Squad was down to three marines as their Pelican had just arrived on time. The hatch descended down quickly as the three marines and Spartan dashed to it as plasma bolts were firing at their direction. Marcus looks back at the distance between them and the enemy as the Covenant was approaching them quickly as there was not enough time for the Pelican to take off.

Seeing that there was only one option left, he swiftly jumps out of the Pelican and into the enemy as he had both DMR and Shotgun in both hands. He managed to land safely far from them as he laid fire with both weapons as the Pelican ascended higher with the marines watching in shock. " What the hell is he doing!" one yelled in disbelief.

" Is he trying to get himself killed!" another said as the Sergeant held his hand to silence the two.

" Let him go. He's sacrificing his life for ours." the Sergeant says with respect as he continues to watch the Spartan fight off Covenant forces.

Marcus had been holding off the relentless Covenant infantry for a good 10 minutes as he dispatched many Grunts and Jackals as well as fending off against Elites. His strength was running out along with his ammo as he was down to a few shells and his DMR clicking empty. The Spartan was on one knee as he looks at many Elites sporting different armors approaching him with energy swords at hand.

He laughed at the situation he's in as this would be his last. Death was approaching him as he didn't care whether he died or not as long as he brought his enemies down with him. " Heh. Your coming down with me bastards." he says while panting as a remote detonator appeared in his hand.

" This... is... for... Beta Company..." he slowly mutters as he activates the detonator with his eyes closed behind the visor of his helmet.

The sound of beeping filled the air as the Elites were confused of what's going on as they see a flashing red light on the Spartan's waist. Apparently he saved one last explosive for the enemy as it went off, killing anything near him as the explosion filled the rooftop of the building. The explosion can be seen from miles as it giant smoke ascended into the sky with the building coming down as its support structures were no longer able to sustain the tremor. Elite bodies were revealed on the ground as the body of Spartan-B709 was nowhere to be found.

From the aftermath, the accounts of those who've seen the Spartan were mostly the remaining survivors of Demo Squad. They can only recount that he was fighting off against waves of the enemy and in a last ditch effort blew himself up to destroy the remaining forces of the enemy. However this was all they can remember as the body suddenly wasn't where it was neither remains. Theories can only speculate that the Spartan somehow survived the explosion and is MIA but one theory would be rather ridiculous to say they he may have disappeared off the face of Reach.

If that were to be true then a question would remain, where?

Somewhere...

Location: ?, Year: ?

Outside, somewhere in a forest lies a tall black armored figure with his helmet off to the side as he's seen sprawled on the ground. The sun's ray shining on the boy as the figure was asleep until the sounds of animal life stirred him to waking up as his eyelids opened up with his vision slowly blurry but regaining as two blue eyes looked around at the new surroundings. The figure slowly rubbed his eyes while sitting up as he yawned and scratched his short green hair as thin strands of his hovered over his eyes.

The figure looked to be very young physically but still very well built beneath the armor as he looked around and took in the fresh air that circulated into his nostrils. He's never felt anything this good as he wonders where he's at and whether he's dead or not. Everything seemed to real to him as the surroundings looked nothing like Reach as one questions ponders him.

" Where am I?"

Will stop there and this chapter is a bit messy but later ones will be improved on quality as quantity can vary. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it and have a nice day. Leave me some errors in the comments that you see and I'll do my best to improve as feedback is very appreciative.
