Next chapter! The truth and reconciliation!

Disclaimer: I do not own Halo or LOZ but I wish I did!

(I hope this one is not as long but it probably will be!)

Master chief's POV

"The enemy has captured Captain Keyes and are holding him aboard one of their cruisers – The Truth and Reconciliation. The ship is currently holding position approximately three hundred meters above the other end of this plateau." Informed Cortana to everyone in the Pelican

"So how do we get inside the ship if it's in the air? The Corp issued me a rifle, not wings." Said a Smart ass marine

"There's a gravity lift that ferries troops and supplies between the ship and the surface. That's our ticket in!" Answered Sgt. Stacker

"Once we get inside the ship I should be able to lock on to the tracking signal from Captain Keyes' neural implants." Said Cortana

"Now hit it marines. GO! GO! GO! The corp 'aint payin' us by the hour!" Shouted Stacker

"We should stick to the high ground... and I have detected covenant stationary guns near the next pass" Warned Cortana.

"Hey, Kid!" Chief called to Tetra and gave her more sniper rounds then pointed to the ridge ahead, "Take out as many as possible, when we hear the enemy return fire we will charge in, got it"

Tetra nodded

"Ok, let's go!"

Tetra's POV

Loaded down with more sniper ammo than she could carry she made it to the ridge without being seen. "Alright" she thought "ok, there are two on turrets, or whatever they're called, two Elites, twelve grunts and 5 jackals"

She took aim at one of the gunners *BANG* the grunt slumped over in the gun

*BANG* Killed two grunts

*Bang* Shot a 'split-lip' in the head

*BANG* another dead bird

As she reloaded she got clipped by a round from the other turret

"AHH" She knelt down to check it, it wasn't too bad but it hurt like a bitch. "Shit... that hurts"

*ba, ba, ba, bang* as the other marines charged in MC killed the gunner with one well place round thru the skull and blasted another Elite.

Link appeared next to her and helped her to her feet, "C'mon we gotta keep goin'" He said

"GO, Go, Go" Yelled a Marine

They ran around the next corner and surprised a group of grunts and mowed them down before continuing. At the next ridge they just charged in.

Tetra pulled out her AR and killed a jackal with a few well placed rounds and charged another bashing it, going thru its shield and breaking its neck

She saw Link with his M90 Mk I and blasted and Elites head off with the shotgun then turn and bash a grunt in the face, causing its skull to cave in.

MC nearly sliced a Jackals head off with one sweep of his arm and shot up 3 grunts

Link's POV

At the next ridge they went thru all the Covies and then a drop ship came and as it dropped out its load Link and MC shot each and every one as they got out

Before they left Link found a small triangular thing with a blue sphere in the center and picked it up turning invisible

"HOLY SHIT! SWEET!"

He ran up the canyon where three Elites passed him and he assassinated them and he continued and got to the grav lift and assassinated another Elite and three jackals and two grunt before the camo wore off... and he was getting shot at and was pinned down behind a rock

"Whose idea was it to go charging into deep enemy turf without help..." he thought as an Elite jumped over the rock and knocked him down and was about to stab him, but

*Barang* his AR barked a burst of hot lead into the Elite and it collapsed on top of him "Shit" Link muttered. It smelled like wet dog and saliva.

Master Chief kicked the body off of link and he got up covered in blue blood.

"Ya ok?" Chief asked

"Yeah I'm good! Nothing can stop me!" Link replied with heavy confidence

"You and Tetra are GOOD! Honestly if you guys were any getter you'd be Spartans!"

"Thanks" He said as more Covies dropped from the grav lift.

Two Elites and 8 grunts Link Killed 3 grunts and wounded an Elite then Tetra finished him with a sniper bullet thru the chest.

MC Beat up an Elite and killed a grunt and the rest of the marines finished the rest off.

Then two armoured beasts dropped from the ship. "Holy Shit, What the fuck are those!" Link yelled as he dove away from a green beam and it exploded behind him.

"HUNTERS!" Shouted the Sergeant

*ZAP* A beam hit a marine and blew thru him leaving a hole in the middle of his chest

A Hunter shot at Link and he jumped over the beam landing behind the hunter and the hunter did a back swing with its shield/blade and link sidestepped and shot it in the back in the exposed orange flesh and the Hunter roared and bashed link and sent him flying

"Ahhhhhh!" Link yelled as he flew, then flew into Stacker

"FUCK!" Stacker yelled as they both hit the cliff face

"Oww!" Link groaned as he got up "those things pack a punch"

MC POV

Chief saw link fly and hit Stacker, he then killed the hunter that had done that with ease and finished off the last one after Tetra put a bullet in its gut

"Alright" He said once everyone was on their feet. "Let's get up there!"

He and the rest of the marines all stood in the grav lift and were taken up

"Whoa! Yee-haw! Woo-hoo! Ha-Ha!" Marines were saying as they were taken up, once they were up Chief looked over at Tetra and link, they had thrown up.

"We're in... I've got a good lock on the Captain's CNI transponder... no Covenant defences detected!" Said Cortana

"What? No Covenant. Think, maybe nobody's home?

Just then 2 Elites with active camo came in with glowing swords and a good 15 grunts and 7 jackals

"CONTACT! LOTS OF CONTACT!" Shouted a marine

"No Covenant...? Ya had to open your mouth!" Complained a marine who was dealing with a few grunts

After MC had eliminated the two Elites with AC he turned to help with the rest of the marines Link was taking on an Elite in close combat, and Tetra was firing like crazy with her AR. Chief had shot an Elite with his pistol in the head after its shields were down and kicked a jackal in the stomach breaking it's back.

Pretty soon the area was clear. "Area secure, sir, but we'd better keep moving... ah how about that door?" asked a marine

"CRAP, The doors locked sir. No way through." He told the Chief once they were down the hall

"We can use the side passages to find a way around." Suggested Cortana

"Ok sure" agreed Chief

"Whoa, man we've bein thru quite a bit lately with you... but we're goin with ya again... and deal with it" Link told him

The trio ran thru the narrow hallway killing an Elite and three grunts and coming out onto a platform above were the marines were waiting on the other side. MC jumped down while Link and Tetra took care of the Covenant on the platform. Once the door was opened all hell broke loose!

Tetra's POV

She was up on the top platform sniping Covies when she felt a heat growing in her back. She side stepped instantly and an energy sword thrust passed where she was standing and she instantly slugged the Elite in his neck causing it to gag and she pulled out her combat knife and slashed it across the body and it stepped back to swing and when it did she dodged and spun around kicking the Elite in the head causing it to fall over and she stabbed it in the neck and ripped out, killing it. She stepped back and soon felt a sharp pain in her side, looking down she noticed she was bleeding, when she sidestepped she was still stabbed just no where important. Still some flesh was hanging out, she would need stitches, but couldn't do anything about it now and pulled out her med kit and squeezed some Biofoam into the wound to stop the bleeding and muffle the pain. And kept going. And soon the battle was over.

Link had taken a few shots from a needler but was still good and nothing had gotten passed MC's shields.

After a few more hallways and rooms filled with Covies they had reached the Bridge of the ship, where two silver Elites and a Golden Elite were standing up on a platform surrounded by a holographic ring and seemed to be working while about 10 grunts were sleeping. The marines all had chosen their targets and opened fire, MC took the golden Elite while Link and Tetra took the two Silver ones and the marines took the rest of the grunts.

Link and Tetra shot away at the first silver Elite and killed it, its blue blood splashing on the metallic floor making it shiny and ganged up in hand to hand on the other while MC easily blasted the Golden Elite with an Energy sword.

The rest of the marines waited in the bridge while She, Link and MC went to go find the Captain. They had searched two prison cells but found nobody but in the 3rd they found two red elites and 10 grunts. This room also had the captain and more of the crew.

Master Chief let the crew out while Link shot the last grunt.

Link's POV

*sigh* "Coming here was reckless you two know better than this... thanks" Keys said to MC

"Hmm... you!" Link jumped back when Keys pointed at him "I remember you from the cryobay!"

"Yeah... same here, Cpt. Keys right?"

Keys nodded "by the way I never got your name."

"Link and Tetra" Link told him

"Well... once we get out of here I think a little something can be arranged"

"Um...ok"

"Marines! Lock and load your weapons, and get ready to move!

"While the Covenant had us locked up in here, I overheard the guards talking about this ring world. They call it...Halo." Keys informed

"One moment, sir. Accessing the Covenant battle net. According to the data in their networks the ring has some kind of deep religious significance. If I'm analyzing this correctly they believe that Halo is some kind of weapon - one with vast, unimaginable power!"Replied Cortana

"And it's true. The Covenant kept saying, that whoever who controls Halo controls the fate of the universe." Muttered Keys

"Now I see! I have intercepted a number of messages about a Covenant Search team, scouting for a control room. I thought they were looking for the bridge of a cruiser that I damaged during the battle above the ring, but they must be looking for Halo's control room." Exclaimed Cortana

"That's bad news. If Halo is a weapon and the Covenant gain control of it, they'll use it against us and wipe out the entire human race. Chief, Cortana, I have new mission for you. We need to beat the Covenant to Halo's control room. Marines, let's move." Said Keys Worried now

"Yes, sir! Okay, sir." Said the marines

"Chief, you have the point."

Link and Tetra took the flanks, when the group came upon three jackals and then He, MC and Tetra charged them smashing them against the wall and killing them.

Then they had made it to the docking bay and Keys was getting a transport ready.

Tetra got shot straight on by three rounds from an Elite and Link chucked a frag at it and blew him to smithereens.

"AH! Shit!" Tetra whined and Link helped her onto the Covie drop ship that keys had hotwired.

One of the marines looked at her and started to treat her wounds while Link nodded off again...

MC's POV

Once again Link had nodded off... understandably so.

"Hey keys what where you going to give them?" Chief asked

"Why... positions as ODSTs of course!"
