The Rookie

Location: Unknown

An hour after drop…

BGM: The Rookie [Roaming in New Mombasa] – Halo 3: ODST

As the Rookie is gaining consciousness, he opens his eyes and shocked to see he is not in New Mombasa but rather in an unknown forest, it was night time and it already storming outside his pod.

As he looked around outside his pod, he ejects the pod's door and notices that he was about five feet above the ground, he grabs his gear and jumped off his pod, he looks around and seeing that he is not in New Mombasa nor was dreaming…

'Where the hell am I?' He asked as the storm gets worse and worse, lighting strikes and the wind is getting stronger. 'Am I in a cyclone or something? I need to get shelter' As the Rookie ran through the rain and looked around seeing weird glowing lines on the ground and pillars that he never seen before.

The Rookie found some shelter inside a cave. 'This will take a while' As he found a good spot that he can sleep hidden. 'I never saw a forest look like that before on Earth or maybe I'm not in Earth…' The Rookie wondered as he lies down and fell asleep…

Location: Unknown

Thirty Minutes after Drop…

BGM: Landscape of the Town – Hyperdimension Neptunia the Animation

"Iffy! Iffy!" A young girl shouted having creaming pink hair, she wears a tan-white wool styled tank top with big neck, un-attached sleeves, and a red plain skirt and has a black hip purse with a C on it and on her black headband.

"Hey Compa, what's with the hurry?" The girl asked as she has emerald eyes and light brown hair that is about waist length, an oversize jacket with a belt load of phones and she's IF, Iffy is her nickname…

"Something fell from the sky and crashed into Virtua Forest!" Compa told her.

"Compa. There's no aircraft flying around in a middle of a storm like this" As she pointed at the storm which wasn't worse till Rookie woke up.

"But Iffy. I saw it crashing down with my own eyes!" Compa complained.

"Compa, you talking non-sense, there's no such thing as—"

She was cut off by a small fairy sitting on a book.

"Something's crashed into the Virtua Forest!" The Fairy shouted.

BGM: Emergency - Megadimension Neptunia VII

"See, I'm not the only one who saw it"

"Actually, I detected it, not saw it, Compa" The Fairy stated.

"Eh? Awww" Compa sigh in defeat.

"Wait. Did something felled from sky" IF asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Yes. An unknown vortex came out of nowhere and a big metal object crashed into the Virtua Forest" She explained. "You two go and find that metal object, as this might affect us or the ASIC…"

IF and Compa looked at each other and nod "You're right, but first we wait till this storm ends" And three waited out for the storm to end…

END BGM


The Rookie

Location: Virtua Forest

Six hours after drop…

The Rookie woke up, seeing that the storm has pass, nothing but cleared skies and puddles everywhere.

'Looks like the storm has passed' As the Rookie got up and went out of the cave. 'I was right, this is not Earth…' And walk into the forest, finding any signs of people.

Few hours of walking later…

BGM: Between Earth and Sky – Hyperdimension Neptunia V

'Damnit all, I been walking in this forest for a few hours and still haven't seen anyone around here' Rookie was worried, not wanting to be the last human in this unknown world then he saw a jelly that has a dog face. 'What the hell is that?'

"Dogoo?" As it stares at him for a few minutes, he couches down to the creature but the creature suddenly jumped onto Rookie's hand.

'Hey. Get off!' He swings his arm around to get him off.

"Dogoo!" The creature holds tight on his hand.

'Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off! GET OFF!' Repeating himself ten times, he swings his arm powerful enough to launch the creature into a tree and exploded goo everywhere as he looks at his hand which is cover with goop.

'This is fucking disgusting...' As the Rookie wipes off the goo on his hand but suddenly he encounter the same creature but bigger, bigger than the Mgalekgolo Hunters. 'What. The Fuck. Is that…'

END BGM

"DOGOO!" The huge creature jumps into the air and right about to land on him but luckily he dodged and ran as fast as he can.

'Damnit, he's chasing me' As the huge creature chases him, he returned fire, firing his M7S and the huge creature still chasing him. 'Damnit' He took off his silencer on the M7 'I hope someone hear this…' And returned fire.

*BANG*


Meanwhile with IF and Compa

Location: Virtua Forest

Six hours after Drop…

"Hey Iffy. What could that metal thing is?" Compa asked.

"Dunno. It could be useful or be worse" IF said.

As IF and Compa walking around the forest, following the smoke. "I wonder if encounter some super soldiers to help us?"

"That's ridiculous, the only ones that is powerful is the CPUs, not some highly trained, super so—"

*BANG*

BGM: Dread Intrusion - Halo 3

"EH! What was that?" Compa asked.

"Don't know. But it's coming from over there" As IF pointed at that direction the gunfire came from and they went to their battle stances.

"Iffy… I'm scared" Compa was shaking, holding her big Syringe as the gunfire grew louder.

"Then stay behind me, Compa" As Compa ran behind IF, she narrowed her eyes as the gunfire grew louder and louder and an armored person came out of the woods.

IF swiftly tripped him using her legs, dropping his SMG and as he tried to get up, he was pounded downed by IF. "Who are you?!"

END BGM


With the Rookie

"Who are you?!" The Girl asked loudly. After she has no response from the Rookie, she pull out her qatars and pointed to the Rookie. "Answer ME!"

'Damnit girl, you know that I'm muted right?' He said, wishing that he could speak to her.

"Mhmm Iffy, I think he cannot speak…" Compa stated as IF looked at her.

"Cannot speak huh?" As IF turned back to the Rookie and asked him "Let's see if you can answer my questions, do you work for ASIC?" She asked.

'The hell is ASIC?' He shook his head saying no.

"Okay, next question. Are you around here?" She asked another question.

'What kind of question is that, girl?' He shook his head again.

"Mhmm interesting, okay final one. Did you came from that smoke over there" She pointed that the direction where the smoke is.

'...Is my pod still smoking?' And he nodded, making IF smiled.

"Well, looks like we found out what was that metal object crashing from the sky" IF stated.

"Oh so he's the one who came from the sky, how could he survive the fall?" Compa wondered.

'Kid, I was in my drop pod. But serious, what the hell is going on here?' As IF release him, pulling him then he dust off his armor and grabbed his M7.

"Anyway, my name's IF and this Compa" She introduced herself and Compa as she waved at him.

"Hey, I have a question" As Rookie and IF looked at Compa. "What are you shooting at when you encounter us, it is something that is chasing yo-" As soon she was able to finish her sentence, the huge creature lands behind her, shocked IF and Compa screamed.

"AHHHHHHH! GRANDOGOO!" She ran behind the Rookie and IF.

"So you running away from THAT!" And he nodded. "Alright Compa, back me up!" She dash forward to the Grandogoo with her qatars.

BGM: Scamper - Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2

The Rookie soon joined her to defeat the Grandogoo.

"DOGOO!" The Grandogoo jumps into the air and slams into IF but she dodges it and counter-attacked, slashing her qatars at the Grandogoo as she was head-butted by the Grandogoo. The Rookie supressed fire at the Grandogoo, getting its attention as he was on his last clip.

'Damn, on my last clip…' As the Rookie used up all his ammo on his M7, he switch to his Automag pistol and shot him a few times.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

'He's not even dying, what to do, what to do?' As IF still slashing and dodging the Grandogoo, Compa supports her by firing her syringe at long-range. 'Why the hell is she using a big syringe against that Big Dogoo…!' The Rookie wondered but notices that he had some frags on him and got a good idea.

'Let's see you like frag grenades' The Rookie ran towards the Grandogoo with a frag on his hand, active and IF notices him running towards him.

"What the hell are you doing?!" She shouted as the Rookie stopped and throw the frag grenade and it went inside the Grandogoo as planned.

"DOGOOOO- *BOOM*" The Grandogoo exploded launching goop everywhere and cover the three with goop.

END BGM

"Ewww, I got goop all over my clothes" Compa has her clothes almost covered by goop.

"Damnit, I got goop on me too" Then IF glared at the Rookie. "What's wrong with you, you almost got injured if he stomps on you!" Then Rookie shrugged.

"*sigh* Now we know who came from the skies…" IF muttered.

"So… Who are you, Mister Soldier" Compa asked him as he takes his dogtag and gave it to the girls.

IF and Compa examined his dogtag as it saids:


John Doe, The Rookie

Orbital Drop Shock Trooper

Luna (Crisium City, Naniwa)

Ranking: Lance Corporal


Both of them were surprised that he a Lance Corporal and interested about his homeland, Luna…

"Wow. He's a Lance Corporal" Compa said.

"So people called you Rookie?" IF asked him as he nodded.

Compa giggled. "I shall call you Rook-Rook" She smiled but Rookie tilted his head. 'Rook-Rook?'

"Don't worry about it, she finds it easy to remember but it's nice to meet you Rookie" IF handshakes Rookie. "So are you lost in this forest?" And he nodded.

"Iffy, how about we take him to the Planeptune's Basilicom" Compa suggested.

"Good idea Compa" She looked at the Rookie. "We need some help finding our friends, can you help with us?" And he nodded.

"Yay, Rook-Rook has join our party!" She cheered happily.

"Well then, follow us and we'll take you to the Basilicom" IF smiled as the three walked out of the Virtua Forest and head to Planeptune.

'Looks like I'll be changing my mission then' He said.

'Even though he can't speak, he sure know how to listen' IF thought to herself then she smiled.

And they walked out of the Virtua Forest.


Back at Earth

Buck

Location: Taryari Plaza

Immediately After Drop...

BGM: The Rookie - Halo 3: ODST

After the explosion from the Slipspace rupture, Buck's pod crashed into the streets and his pod was upside-down then Dare responded.

"Squad, what's your status? You still with me, Buck?" Dare asked on her com and Buck spoke.

"Yeah... Give me a sec..." Buck tries to open his pod.

"I hit pretty hard, my hatch won't open... How about yours, Buck?" His hatch opens and fell from his pod.

"Ungh! *sigh* Works Great..."

"Right... When you get done fooling around. I could use some help"

"*Sigh* Did I... Do something wrong? Because the only thing I regret about you and me is that not knowing you were a spook when we first met. I would've been a lot less charming..."

"That's what's I miss about you. Your mouth always a little faster then your brain" She continues. "Look, don't get start on my job. We both agree to end it." Buck grabbed his Assault Rifle but it seem to be stuck on his pod.

"That was years ago, Veronica. I'm *grunt* a little *grunt* fizzy *grunt* on the-" His Assault Rifle came out of his pod. "Details... You must have met a lot of other saps since then but why me in your safari?" He asked.

"Firstly, you're the best soldier I know and secondly..." She paused for a second. "Don't you remember... That night. What you asked in the morning?" Then a Phantom flies over Buck, carrying pods.

END BGM

"I remember not getting an answer" He muttered.

"Say again Buck? You're breaking up..." And Buck responded.

"I said say put! I'm on my way!" He runs towards cover and saw another Phantom dropping near his position.

BGM: More Than His Share - Halo 3: ODST

"We missed our LZ. This grid is filled with Covenant, be careful"

"I appreciate the concern"

"Won't be much of a rescue if you're dead" Buck chuckled and cocks his Assault Rifle.

'Yeah, we'll see about that...'

END BGM


Author's Notes:

Even though Rookie cannot talk, he sure can able to get the job done...

Just Like Buck said about the Rookie.

"Not exactly green; no ODST is. But if I didn't think he could do the job, I wouldn't have him on my six. He doesn't say much, but I don't care. I just need him to listen."

Edited: Thanks to Courier47, I was able to fix the mistakes he pointed out, but I can't fix everything. Even though there WILL be more mistakes later on my stories, feedback will be good to revise my stories and improved my English :3

Also I decided to add in the missions from Halo 3: ODST in this story because... Why the fuck not, Rookie is in another dimension. But all of it will be the same from the game except the ending.
