~Chapter 2~

"…ain, captain get up!"

He slowly opened his eyes and sat up, a movement he instantly regretted as a burst of pain suddenly went through his head.

He looked around and saw that most of the people that were present in the lab were waking up as well. Edward was standing on his pedestal, apparently he was the one that had awoken him up.

"Ugh, my head. Ed, status report."

"Good, you're awake. We have minor hull damage and are running on axillary generators right now. I'm working on getting the main ones online, it should be done in about ten minutes. The Huragok are already tending to all the other damage, including the hull." His avatar flickered as he tried to reroute some power to the pedestal. "Crew is now waking up, a couple have a concussion from falling unconscious and hitting the floor with their head and one has a broken foot after he dropped a crate on it. Vehicles are all undamaged except one pelican dropship."

"And the Unbending Justice?"

"The same."

"Alright, set the crew to highest alert, power up shields as soon as you can and send out some probes." He turned to the prone form of his friend and decided to wake her up. "Kiyo', wake up, you've slept long enough now."

The large Sangheili female grunted and two orange eyes fluttered open. "What has happened?"

"We don't exactly know that. What we do know is that something happened that wasn't supposed to happen."

"Are the ships alright Andrew?" she asked.

"Yeah, a bit shaken, but alright."

"I must get back to the Unbending Justice and assess the situation there." She stood up slowly and talked in her comm device, "Pilot, start the Phantom, I am returning to my ship."

She clenched her fist at her chest and looked down at Andrew, "It was good to see you once again, brother. But I must leave now and take back command over my own ship." "It was good to see you to, sister." He said as he repeated the Sangheili salute.

Suddenly all the lights flickered back on and the red emergency lights turned off. He could hear the generators humming in the background as he made his way back to the bridge. He was followed by the three ODST that had stood guard at the door to the laboratories.

"Sir, if I may speak freely?" it was the private, Gus.

"Go ahead private Swanson."

"What the hell is going on? Are we under attack?"

"To be honest with you, I have no idea what the hell is going on and no we are not under attack at this moment." The captain answered and Gus nodded that he had understood.

After a while they finally reached the bridge and it was already a flurry of commotion. Ensigns and engineers were running everywhere and no one even noticed the young captain entering the bridge until the sergeant of the ODST's that were accompanying yelled loudly, "Captain on deck!" and all the people on the bridge immediately stopped with what they were doing to salute.

"As you were." Andrew said and everyone continued with their respective tasks. "Edward, can you give me an update on the probe?"

"Yes, it has just sent the first data-package and I am now deciphering the data." The green AI paused for a second. "Sir, I have some good news, some bad news and some very bad news."

Andrew frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose, "By all means, go ahead Edward."

"The good news is; I know where we are."

"And the bad and very bad news?"

"The bad news is that we're not in our galaxy anymore."

"What?!"

"We're not in our galaxy anymore."

"I heard you the first time. What is the very bad news?"

"This galaxy is far far away from the milky way galaxy and except for the device that got us here, we have no way back. Unless of course you want to fly back for several millennia. Even if we used the device, it wouldn't be certain that we would end up in our galaxy."

"Which galaxy is it?"

"This galaxy has been designated as Foxtrot-one-two-two five."

Andrew let out an exasperated sigh and noticed the crew was dead silent. They had been listening in on the conversation between the captain and the AI.

"What do we do now captain?" a young ensign asked. There was a little bit of fear in her eyes.

"Contact the Unbending Justice they need to be informed of this and have to be present when we decide our next course of action.

"This is indeed troubling news captain. What do you reckon we should do?" the shipmistress asked her human counterpart.

"Naval protocol dictates that the first thing to do when in unknown space is to find a way to survive. We've located a garden planet in the outer reaches of this galaxy that is able to sustain life and has adequate resources in the area in the form of a gas giant with a mineral rich asteroid belt."

"Then we must head there and set up at least a temporary base of opera-" she was cut off by the English AI that appeared on the pedestal next to Andrew.

"Captain, shipmistress, one of our probes has picked up a signal!"

"Do you mean that there is sentient life out here?" Andrew asked with a dazed look on his face.

"Yes, I'm decrypting the message right now. And it's done, I have to say chaps, their encryption was very easy to crack, a dumb AI would have done a better job than the-" a look of surprise entered the AI's 'face'. "Sir, ma'am, you need to see this."

Edward's avatar disappeared and in its place came a blue hologram of an old looking human that was talking about how some sort of organisation had invaded their planet and were keeping the population in prison camps.

A look of shock entered the entirety of the bridge crew's and the Sangheili's faces. "Ed, I thought you said we were in another galaxy?" he pulled his hand through his short cropped brown hair.

"We are captain, it is very possible that humanity has been spread to multiple galaxies by the forerunners. Even then it is curious that they speak English."

"Construct, do you know the coordinates of this planet?"

"What are you planning Mantakrea?" Andrew asked his friend.

"It is our duty to protect humanity, Hallsson. We cannot watch passively as your kind is being oppressed." She said with clear dedication in her voice and he could hear some of the Sangheili in the background grunt in agreement.

He simply nodded. "Edward, do you have the coordinates?"

"Yes, I've already put them in the navigation systems and sent it to the Unbending Justice."

"Good, tell the ODST and marines to get ready for battle. O'Malley, spin up the slip space drive, we're going to liberate a planet!"

The entire crew cheered and the Sangheili shipmistress smiled before the holoscreen disappeared.

In front of the two cruisers, two blue portals widened until they were large enough to let the ship's through and the two hunks of metal and technology shot forward. When they were both entirely swallowed by the blue light, the portals closed behind them.

Meanwhile, in the Jedi temple, a small green alien woke up from his meditation with a with a start, he had just felt a major shift in the balance of the energy field around all living beings that was the force.

A dark skinned human looked at the old alien with curiosity. "What is it master Yoda?"

"What it is, I do not know. Change, things are going to, master Windu. Feel it I can, in the force."
