5'th March, 2853
Central Military District, New Alexandria, Reach
ONI NOBLE Building
18:15 Hours, New Alexandria Time
Two ONI field operatives dragged a masked man across the corridor, with the man spitting out ancient Roman.
They soon arrive at a room, with a simple label.
" INTERROGATION ROOM 1-B"
The door opened, and the ONI Operatives put the man on a chair.
On the other side of the table, a woman sat there, legs folded.
" LET ME GO, YOU BARBARIANS! OR THE MIGHT OF THE EMPIRE AND THE IMPERIAL ARMY WILL PILLAGE YOUR VILLAGES!", the Masked Man yelled. Under the mask, a man wearing a suit of armour similar to Ancient Romans seethed, still blinded by ignorance.
The ONI Assistant Director, Rear Admiral Helena Cain now spoke.
" Who are you, and what is that… Gate? Why have you invaded sovereign United Species Federation territory?"
The masked man's mask was ripped off. The room around him was dark, with a single light bulb shining over the small table. The Previously masked man, is now revealed as the Imperial general.
" Your puny ' Federation' will bow before the might of the imperial army.", the man replied. " What lands does your puny Federation have? The Empire controls over half of the continent of Falmart. We have tens of thousands of troops, and many vassal states. Challenge us, and you shall be crushed, WOMAN."
" The United Species Federation consists of over Two-hundred thousand Planets, and a total population of over Two trillion across all species."
The Imperial general now widened his eyes, and spoke, " You reek of lies, woman. Nobody can go to the stars, above gods."
RADM Cain sighed,
Speaking to a aide, she said,
" Oh great, Self-proclaimed most powerful, religious loonies. Get a dose of TS-2451-Mk, 2, 20 mg.
The aide complied. And as the Imperial General started squirming, A syringe with the TS-2451 Truth Serum was forcibly injected into his neck.
Helena Cain now spoke, " Now, you will talk."
10'th March, 2853
USSC Hood Street Foward Deployment District, New Manassas, Reach
Operation Headquarters
11:10 New Manassas Time
Newly promoted First Lieutenant Josh Duvat scratched at his head. As the Naval liaison to this operation, he is going with the first wave of the Operation, in order to locate the planet that they were headed.
He just ended the call with his family. He smiled at the thought of his young daughter, and was saddened to leave to somewhere so far.
A single UF-902 Launched off a catapult to the other side.
The UF-902 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle rose up, and loitered over the area, providing valuable information.
As the area was clear, for now, the General, General Ashton Williams, a decorated General of the USSC Marines stood at a podium.
" People of the United Species Federation, I am General Ashton Williams. Our troops are ready to depart to the unknown. We will bring the Federation to this planet. The following days may be tough, yet we will succeed. UAVs are being deployed, and men, you will be too. Godspeed everyone, may the Mantle guide you."
Troops got on their Warthogs, walkers, M2501-CX Detonator Main Battle Tanks, Hover vehicles, and of course, M2590-A Shepard Infantry Fighting vehicles. Engines rumble, as the gate slid up.
The first Infantry fighting vehicles roll in, as the lines of military traffic extend,
Engines roar, as the Vehicles went through the gate.
Entering the tunnel, the tanks rode, until a bright light shone, and they were on the other side of the gate.
10'th March, 2853
Dalnus Hill, Falmart
11:30 Standard Military Time
UNSC Troops jump out of their vehicles, EMMUR's at ready. The Enhanced Modular Multi-Use Rifles are the standard-issue weapons. They can fire with hardlight projectiles, plasma beams, and also Smart-links
Loitering up top, the UF-902' locates enemy signatures. Detonator tanks and Mammoth walkers moved into positions.
With a mighty woosh, Plasma-filled Missles are fired from several UAV's, destroying enemy columns. Mortars and Artillery fires, as scarabs spit out plasma fire.
The scream of men, burnt by the plasma.
Hardlight tore through enemies, as more screams were heard.
A Wolverine tore a dragon apart with a Anti-aircraft plasma lance, as it fired it's anti-air Flak Missles.
One of the leaders of the charge moved back. " What…. What is this sorcery?" was his final words, as Plasma, particle and hardlight hellfire consumed his army. T he Imperial Cavalry is dead.
As the remnants retreated towards Italica, UAV's harass them, strafing and killing more. Just like that, a whole legion was destroyed.
USF Naval Officers deploys UAV's, and locates the planet, right outside of UGF Territory. Setting up Slipspace receivers, a small fleet departs.
Eventually, a smal USSC Foward Operation Base was built. Killzones made, machine guns and mines ready, they are ready for a large defence.
10'th March, 2024 ( Alternate universe btw)
Ginza, Tokyo, Japan
12:53
Lieutenant Itami walks with his friend, US Marine Lieutenant Andrew Duvat. ( very old ancestor of Josh Duvat) are walking down the street in Ginza, and suddenly, a… Gate appeared.
People with similar to… Ancient Roman? Armour came through, slashing everyone in the way.
They were off duty, heading to a Doujinshi sale, but yet, they valiantly defended civilians. Directing them to a old castle, and defending the civilians.
After a few weeks, the United Nations force, consisting of Japanese, American, Korean, Russian, Chinese and more troops from around the world.
The United Nations was ready to study and control this new land.
End of The Vengenance of the Federation

Hey guys, this is SImply!
Thanks for reading the second episode of the Gate of Reach!
HALO is gonna exist in the JSDF Universe.
Human lifespan is pretty much infinite in the HALO Universe by now too! So… Lasky, Hood, and even Master Chief is still alive.
Rampancy is cured, and somehow, Cortana is still alive!
In this AU, 50 Years after HALO 3, Master Chief was found. Cortana shut herself down due to rampancy, but the UNSC fixed her up, Cortana now has a synthetic body.
The USSC and the USF is surprisingly stable too!
20 Years after the Human-Convenant War, ONI Expierenced reforms, and now does stuff more humanely.
I hope you guys are enjoying this story so far!
