Infinity: Bridge
Rtas 'Vadum stood arms crossed in the bridge staring at Captain Del Rio. It was common knowledge that the commander of the Infinity wasn't a big fan of the Sangheili because of the war. Even though it was never spoken out loud. Luckily Lieutenant Lasky was there to keep the peace.
As the tension in the room was reaching the point of unbearable, sounds of heavy metallic foot steps was welcoming as All of blue team stood at attention.
"You wanted to see us sir?" Asked the Chief. "I believe you two are already know each other" Del Rio nodded his head toward Rtas. Which he took as he's cue to walk towards the Chief and shake his hand "Good to see you're alive and well Spartan." "Likewise Shipmaster."
Del Rio stood in "As I'm sure you're aware Sangheilos is currently in civil war. Until now the UNSC didn't wish to be involved" Kelly looked curiously towards him "Why the sudden change?" "The Elites fighting against the Arbiter are searching for Forerunner tech in hopes to use them against the Arbiters forces." Answered Lasky. Rtas continued "And since the Arbiter and myself believe in having humans as Allies the rest believe you as a threat and will turn towards destroying humanity once they have sercured victory on our home world."
"That's where you come in." Del Rio added "The news of the Master Chiefs return has spread to Sangheilios and they fear he will join the Arbiters forces. High Command has agreed to send you and blue team to aid in the fighting. But there is something else" blue team looked at each other and Fred Asked the question "What would that be sir?"
Lasky scartched the back of his head before answering "Command wants to use this as a test for the Hero Spartans. They want to make sure that the decision to let them join Infinity was a good one."
Chief frowned though it could be seen "Sir with all respect. They're not ready. They've only just been able to handle combat equipment and weaponary. They need more time."
Del Rio furrowed his brows "I didn't agree with this project from the start. The fact of letting kids fight in combat just because they have special powers. Personally I believe they should've been sent straight to ONI to be studied. But orders are orders Master Chief... and you will follow them."
Kelly could see johns fist clenched tightly. To say he was pissed with his commanding officer would be an understatement "I understand Sir..."
Rtas faces the Spartans "I apologise for coming on such short notice but we are becoming desperate in this fight." Lasky spoke up again "Cortana and Shipmaster Rtas will give you and the Hero Spartans a briefing in a few hours. You're dismissed."
Infinity: Briefing Room
The Hero Spartans stood at attention with Aizawa and All Might standing to the side as the Elite in white armour enters the room with blue team following. Cortana appears infront of them "At ease Spartans. As part of you training I have been teaching you our history aswell as the other alien species that we are aware of that exists with us." She turns towards Rtas "Shipmaster Rtas is a highly commended military leader from Sangheilios" he simply nods. Some of the students were intimidated by the talk alien. In fact this was their first alien they've meet.
Master Chief stood in "Sangheilios is currently in the middle of a civil war. Rtas believes if the Sangheili lead by The Didacts Hand has victory he'll set his sights on humanity." The young hero's look back in forth as Chief continues "By order of High Command you all will be deployed to assist the Arbiters forces... you're going to combat."
The room feel silent. A few students were in shock while one student was excited and trying not to explode on the spot."
Iida was the first to speak "Sir. Are you sure it is wise to send us in so soon?" Chief looked him down "personally I don't see this as the best time for you all to go. But orders have been given from higher up. They want to see results"
All Might and Aizawa look at each other in concern but knew they had no say in military decisions. Cortana brought up the team lists
Green Team: Team Leader Deku, Shoto,Tentacole, Uravity.
Drop Team: Team Leader Buck, Bakugo, Red Riot, Chargebolt, Cellophane.
Stealth Team: Team Leader Linda, Toru, Anima, Earphone, Shinso
Rabbit Team: Team Leader Kelly, Ingenium, Twinkle, Sugar.
Blue Team: Team Leader John, Creati, Shadow, Grape
Red Team: Team Leader Fred, Froppy, Tailman, Pinkie
Cortana then turned to the young hero's. "Stealth team will be dropped on the edge of the Sangheili capital and get eyes on the ground for Infinity and other teams. Red Team and Rabbit Team will provide backup and support to the Arbiters forces in the eastern part of the city while Green team supports the west."
"Blue team will move in and support the Arbiter with his assualt to reclaim the center. Eventually if all goes well all teams meet up with Blue and reclaim the city. Drop Team however will be sent north where we believe the leader Jul 'Madama has his command post. You're required to either capture him. failing that. Take him out"
Chief steps in "Infinity will provide air support and weapon drops when needed. We'll arrive at Sangheilios at 0900 hours. Drop Team be ready for a combat drop at 0800. Others teams meet in the hanger at the same time. Review maps and data while you can and get rest. You're all dismissed."
Deku had his fists clenched staring at the ground. He was in charge of a whole fire team and he didn't feel like he's ready for combat let alone lead his friends into battle. His thoughts were interrupted by All Might.
"You look like you got some weight on your shoulders my boy" Deku looked up to face the form One For All holder "You could say something like that." Neither of them realised Master Chief joined them "It's a heavy load I'd rather not put on you so soon Midoriya." Both looked at him and could tell his words were genuine. "How do you do it Chief? How can you take on the responsibility to take on a fight as overwhelming as this and not look back?" All Might Asked.
Chief looked at the blonde "Because it what I was trained to do. In a way... it's what a hero would do." Chief turned to Izuku "Unfortunately it's in the nature of warfare that you'll loose lives under your command. I had 45 Spartans under my Command when I was your age... now blue team and I are all thats left. But an early lesson I had to learn is the difference between lives lost and lives wasted. With you're heroic nature it'll be difficult for you to learn which is which considering you don't want anyone to do."
Deku nodded looking down completely overwhelmed with the weight of the conversation "It's gonna be a long day. I need you to come with me. All Might you to." Chief began walking off and after a quick glance at each other all might and Izuku followed.
Infinity: Tech department.
Izuku looked around the lab like room until he reached a hologram terminal. All Might stood beside him "Why are we here." Chief stood beside them "Well I couldn't exactly do things on my own that's why I have Cortana. Deku is Team Leader so Command agreed to give him an A.I."
Izuku raised his brow "My own AI?" "Correct. The tech heads put it together. She's like Cortana but new and faster" Cortana appeared infront of them arms crossed "I can hear you know." Chief shrugged it off and Cortana turned to Izuku. "A.I are usually based on a persons personality. When you went through augmentation they took a small sample of you brain tissue to create this A.I. But oddly enough the appearance of this A.I looks nothing like you."
All Might looked confused "Then what does it look like?" As soon as he finished his sentence the AI appeared and All Might stared in complete shock. "M-Master?" Deku looked between the two before the A.I spoke "It's been a while Toshi..." All Might was clearly emotional but Deku wanted answers "Um who are you?"
The AI gave the boy a beautiful smile "Well I used to be the seventh holder of One For All. But now thanks to technology and one for all's power I am now your A.I. My name is Nana Shimura."
