Two days and two nights, that was how long sierra-005 larath the three marines And taynor had been walking on this strange fantasy world filled with beings that could probably even shoot fire out of their hands.

There were fortes of a lot of stuff that made five question things about this planet as he and the others travelled on foot and that each different beings he caught sight of we're of an abnormality to him and the marines.

Five and the others took the time to reminiscence in the beautiful view of the night skies, animals such as owls were out in the night as they can be seen flying past the group, they saw the three owls in pursuit of a couple of bats screeching ever so slightly in a continuous way as they tried flap endlessly around the forests while some ended up getting caught by an ambushing owl who flew from the left and snatching the poor bats.

Caitlyn made an ooo sound as she watched the wings of the bats being torn to shreds by one other owl, the second came in out of the dark and caught it with it's sharp talons and then continues to pull it off. She saw as one more owl, this one was slightly bigger then the other two, the colors of it's feathers were a darker grey while the other two were a lighter version of grey. The bigger owl seems to be the mother as bird came to the two owlings it led them into the dark night with their catch.

"Owls, never thought I'd see one of earths birds on this world," Commented Caitlyn.

"Same here," Mike commented.

Franklin let out a loud satisfying yawn. He and the squad alongside with the spartan and taynor had been walking for almost two hours. He was just glad that the spartan had advised for them to take a ten minute rests for the night, sergeant larath on the other hand had wanted for everyone to keep going but five told her directly that she and her group needed to take some rests seeing that Caitlyn and the team especially taynor wouldn't be able to keep going without a leisure of water food and foremost some rests.

So while they had all concede to the spartan suggestion he offered to go out hunting for food and three minutes later he came back with a weird-looking animal that resembles a deer. The creature had three antlers, two of them pointing outward like that of an average deer and with one antler in the middle of it's head pointing up from the center. At first the team were unsure of whether they should eat it or not believing that it might be tainted with something that might give them a huge malignancy such as poison or not, after all they were from a different worlds then this one, but thanks to taynor the boy had told them that the animal was non toxic and would be vantage enough for them to eat.

Five walked forth as he offered to take the lead with of course larath sauntering next to his right. He notices that the woman's injuries were healed and chose to ask her a question about it.

"Your leg," Five spoke getting her attention.

Glancing his way she responded with an inquisitive look. "Yeah and what of it you want to know about it five?"

Five didn't want to be seen as a nuisance to her seeing the look on her face when he asked her that question. "Your injuries on the right thigh, it is healed, how, I know the biomedical foam can hold your wounds for usually a few hours until it wears off, so how did your injury get mended so well?"

Larath gave him a smile as she tapped her thigh were a jackal had shot her. "You may not know much heck even me, but somehow those people back in welleryn town, what was his name again?" Larath said trying to remember a certain man's name.

"Don't you mean ranger Rohan?" Five said.

Larath chuckles as she recalled back to the ranger name as she remembered him. "Ah yes, rohan, that's it! The man had offered to call in some woman dressed in weird robes who then performed some strange light magics to heal my wound. I don't know how their so called magics work but I'm just glad that they manage to heal my injury, so there's that,"

"I see,"

Larath gave the Spartan a disapprove stare when she heard that. "Thats it!" The sergeant said. "Just, I see, it almost sounds like to me you don't care about my well being five,"

Still strolling through the night sky as he stepped over some bushes and leafs five responded to her displeased statement. "Would you prefer I tell you a lie then,"

Larath let out an exasperated sigh as she can easily see her breathe in the cold. "No, I guess not, thank you for your concern though five, I appreciated,"

"Your wel- Hold on!"

The moment the marines and taynor saw the Spartan putting up his hand into a fist signaling for them to halt in their steps they immediately holstered their weapons out and started aiming out into the murky night.

"What is it five?" Larath said as she stopped beside him gun pointing forward.

"Contacts, thirty feet ahead north of us," Answered five.

"What do you think it is?" Franklin said asking him.

"Don't know," The Spartan responded by clicking the safety of his B-R55 rifle off. "I'll scout ahead find out who they are? You four stay here with the kid,"

Instead of listening to five larath ordered the three marines to stay behind with taynor as she continues after the spartan ahead of her.

Mike and Franklin nodded in confirmation and chose stay with the other two. While Caitlyn tended to a worried taynor who seems to start getting a flu that's probably from the amount of time they've been out ever since they left the town.

"It's alright child, here, you can have my coat, just take it and keep yourself warm with it," Caitlyn said to him.

"Thank you Ma'am," Muttered taynor. "Do you think the giant and the woman would be alright?"

Both Franklin and mike laughed slightly at the boy concerns for the spartan and larath while Caitlyn just chuckles as she heard him say that. They weren't worried considering that their squad leader larath wasn't some damsel in distress knowing that she could handle herself, they were also counting on the fact that some poor souls wouldn't do anything too stupid to her seeing as how skillful she is then the rest of them ever since she became their team leader. On the other hand they were not so much as worried for her mainly because five was with her, understanding how those like him can deal with certain situations he'd probably keep their squad commander alive till the end.

Caitlyn smiled reassuring taynor as to keep him calm. "No need to worry about those two child, believe me, if anyone should be worried it would definitely be those that whoever they came upon ok. Everything is gonna be fine,"

Five hid behind a large tree as he then got down on one knee, within his helm his hud he zoomed in and at about ninety-one point forty meters from where he is he could see a couple of people dressed in bronze-colored armor and on the insides they wore a tunic of the same dark pigment of bronze. Their main weapons were of long seven foot long spears with it's head coated in silver while the handles were made of woods. Five could tell that the wood was likely by some substantial part of some tree seeing that he was familiar with one of the guardsman spears back in welleryn town. The second foremost part of the walking troops was a wooden shield in circles with metal around it's edges.

He zoomed in a bit closer where four other guards on each sides who seems to be safeguarding every corner of two carriages. The strange carriages were both shaded green with the top coated in brown and just on the top of the carriages hood was a lanterin that hanged just from a metal hook so as to supporting the rider to see clearer in the night.

Five halted in a way a person would have as he heard someone coming from behind him. Turning back to face who it was larath came kneeling down on the same position as him.

"What do you got five?" Larath muttered lowering her voice so as to not alert any unwanted ears.

The spartan heard her while still locked on to the main tasks at hand as he had ascribed to the marine of what was going on, she asked him what they were going to do about it whether they should find out who the strange people are or they could lingered from where they are and wait until the people are gone, though five could've dealt with whoever the people are but after studying out who they were he urged larath that it was best for the two of them and the others to stand back, as the reason why was that it didn't look like to him that whoever the people inside the cariages were wasn't probably much of threat to either him nor larath although he was not keen to find out either ways.

"Say what if you a-

Larath couldn't finish her sentence when suddenly the spartan covered her mouth to shut her up. She tried to pry the man's hand off of her so she could curse at him but notices that he was motioning for her to look to where he was pointing at. Slowly she relaxed herself and understood what five was trying to tell her as she decided to hear him out. Her eyes followed at the direction the spartan was pointing at as she then looks up at the night sky, Just above up in the sky from where the troops and horses alike strode were five large creatures flying in semi line as if they were patrolling the sky.

The strange thing about the three beasts was that they had the bodies of an African lion head of an eagle and tail of a lion with large hook like claws that looked like it could poke a hole through a normal human being with ease, and the fact their wings were so wide that it stood out at a wingspan of nine foot long and a half whenever it spreads out while it flys.

Laraths eyes squinted as she tried to comprehend what it is she is looking at right now, turning to her left she asked five if he knew of what kind of beasts that was and five just replies with a simple no.

Hmp*

"I wonder what those kind of animals are?" Muttered larath.

"Dunno, but i'd say that it's body resembles like that of an animal from earth," Five said recalling back to one of the many times he and the other Spartan's such as maria daisy and George read about earths animal history.

"Oh really, and what kind of animal are you thinking of, cause the only ones I remembered are some beasts on my home planet although

Five shrugs as he was still observing the troops and carriages and flying beast like lion.

On the inside of his helm five emits a slight smile when the thought of sierra-052 sierra-062 and lastly sierra-023 came up on his mind. Though they may not know but sometimes he truly missed fighting with his fellow spartan brothers and sisters, though he and George would often had to step in and refrain both daisy and maria from scuffling with each other when the four of them first met.

"Damn, this doesn't look good!" Muttered larath as she twisted the button of her binoculars to zoom in at the path where the people was going.

It was rather understandable why larath was feeling disconcerting about this, seeing that the dawn had left quite a trail of it's messy landing . She could imagined the people who saw the falling ship and mistaken it as a falling star, some people would think of it as the end of the world some would think it as a new beginning. But knowing how some of this people would think they'd just outright counterfeit it as an advent lie to try and take the ship as their own, though as much as she wanted them to try she knows it'll probably end badly for anyone foolish enough to do it.

"Yes, I reckon they are heading at the same way where the dawn had crash landed in," Five answered back.

"Then we should do something about this," Larath told him as she felt like this isn't something that they could not just spurn out or else those people would either end up getting the wrong idea about the ship.

"Any idea

"It seems like that there's a small village just a few miles ahead of us," Deha added for them.

As on the tac map she showed koa a map of a vast green land and zoomed in at to where a couple of buildings are, counting around twenty five houses such as shops and that only one slight issue was just about six miles from where the village was is the dawn.

Larath was aware of the A I, she had once met some in her past making her loath them at first due to a certain blue one who was responsible for an outbreak that cost the ship she was on to lose almost everyone that she knew to die due to the ships A I who had tried to reconcile against the captain and it's crew, but thanks to the infinite ship A I Roland who helped stopped commander Gray's ship A I, they manage to save the ships crew lives but with only some lost to the promethean attacks and the corrupted AI.

"Strange, there seems to be something going on within the village," Muttered Deha as she tapped the side of her cheek in a thinking motion.

"How strange?" Questioned larath.

"There appears to be some sort of radio signal coming from the village," The AI said answering her.

Larath glanced her way at the spartan. "What do you think five, you suppose that it's some of our people who survived?"

"Yes," Deha spoke answering for five as she materialize in front of the sergeant shocking her in the process. "It appears to me that some of the unsc personals have set up a communication relay near the village, just on the outside,"

"Any audio message, S.O.S. Have they sent a signal message?" Five said asking her.

"Yes they have, but it isn't very clear one, it sounds like the message they've sent out had some stagnant problem, here I think it's better if you two hear it whether then me having to explain it,"

Both five and larath watched as deha materialized an rectangular blue light out of thin air, a white line then began shifting up and down as the audio message started playing. What larath and five were hearing was the voice of that of a man who seems too keen on trying to speak but whenever he does a static noise kept occurring, both sergeant and spartan then heard the sound of fighting as the next thing they've hear was someone being slammed hard against a solid object as the radio then fell down.

They assume that whoever it is that had spoken from the other side of the radio must've been in either a quarrel with someone or maybe it was an accident.

Needless to say, five and larath both got up and went back for the others.

By the time larath and five reached returned back to the marines and taynor they were asked by them what it is that they found but the sergeant had informed the four of them about the dawn and that they also had been apprised of a possible unsc survivors from the dawn.

Caitlyn asked the sergeant if what they were saying at first was true as she didn't believe them at first, that is until five and the sergeant played the same stagnant message demonstrating that what exactly they were saying was true and that their are others out there who are just as lost as they are.

"So how do you two suppose we deal with a possible group of hostile villagers, cause as far as I'm concerned they'd probably deemed us as dissidents beings," Remarked caitlyn seeing as how some of this world residents would react towards the unsc technology as some sort of witchcraft.

"I don't believe that will happen," Said deha gaining the groups attention as she materialize ontop of five's right shoulder.

"With all due respect Madam, what makes you so sure of that?" Questioned Franklin.

Deha smiled at the fact that she was called madam and happily responded. "Well from what I can tell is that one, the unsc or whoever is stationed near the village isn't too foolish enough to just allow themselves to get assailed at by a small village, two, the villagers don't have enough firepower to even come close to maiming the unsc post, unless they get some backup, but it's apparent that I don't see that happening,"

"Then what do you two think, we should go on and meet up with the other survivors," Said mike pondering on why they were still here speaking instead of heading off.

"Yeah, I agree with Mike here," Spoke up Franklin. "We've been walking on foot for days, well for two days that is, but my point here is we can finally have a chance at going back home," The marine said expressing a sense of emotion that the others can understand.

"I say we should just do it," Spoke up Caitlyn with her arms folded. "Instead of us standing around here and doing absolutely nothing, out over there is one of our own who is probably thinking that their alone,"

Larath let out an exasperated sigh as she expected this is how her squad would react. "There's no need for you three to get all worked up, me and five never said we shouldn't go, just make sure to pack y'all stuff up, we'll be heading out in two minutes,"

"Yes ma'am," The three marines responded alongside with taynor who imitated a salute.

"Aww, looks like we got a future marine in front of us," Uttered deha.

Planet Vahrian.

Unsc OutPost.

Date Year: June 15 2565.

Time: 0750 - 7:50 am.

A man was knocked out with his faced slumped onto the keyboard, as saliva slid onto his table and touched his right hand he abruptly opens his eyes and slowly gotten up on his feet. Glancing to his right to where a clock was sticked into the far top of the door entrance he saw that it was seven fifty six, indicating that it is almost eight in the morning.

The man felt something was missing so he looked down to see an ID of his was missing, he turned to where he slept and found it laying hidden underneath multitude of paperwork.

Reaching for it he grabbed it and wiped off some of the food crumbs from last nights dinner. In the tag was his official name known as (Kasno Sorvad).

The scientist then slid the ID onto his right chest pocket and clipped it. Afterward he turned to face the door and strolled towards it to head on over to the kitchen for some coffee to start his morning.

As Kasno left the science lab came to the outside where he was met with the sunlight hitting him in the eyes which almost blinded him in the face.

Rubbing his eyes as he was checking the time on his watch he could see that it's around eight in the morning, it was no surprise to him since back on earth it's presumably summer. Boy does he sometimes miss earth, it has been his second home ever since reach had fallen into the covenant in 2552 resulting in it being glassed something the genocidol aliens do to every human world they manage to capture after defeating their enemies.

That is until after the human covenant war reach had been reclaimed by the unsc and ueg alike. Both he and his sister Sara sorvad were once asked by a friend who was a resident of reach if they wanted to come back to reach, both siblings happily denied any offer saying that their life with their father and mother were better at living in earth.

Ever since the war was made officially over especially against the remnants of the covenant faction humanity had been prosperous, humans and some of the alien allies such as sangheilli's Unggoy and Mgalekgolo had coerced together alongside with other species, together they bloomed into a strong and decisive faction, and in time they gave themselves a new name called the allies, though that was only a title for a faction they've created while most allies kept their previous names.

"Human," The sound of a low yet opaque voice of a sangheilli elite spoke.

"Why yes, what is it you want nylon?" Responded kasno who had to tilt his head up straight at the tall elite.

"Your blood sister has requested for your presence immediately," The elite said to him.

"You do know we have a name right," Kasno said trying to sound humorous.

"I do not care, my job is to take you to her," Replied the elite as he made a face that imitated a sangheilli smile. "she had also ordered me to carry you if needed,"

Kasno immediately had his hand up stopping the elite before he could make a move. "Nah it's ok nylon, tell her that ill be there, I just gotta go get my morning, if that's ok with you?"

Nylon stepped back. "As you wish human, be sure to be there, you know how unstable your blood sister can be sometimes,"

Kasno sigh understanding what the elite meant as he walked off. "Of course nylon, just tell her that ill be there, besides I've got nowhere to run off to,"

...

By the time kasno reached the other building one where unsc and alien allies alike goes to refresh themselves he sees two very large beings who stood guard in front of the cafeteria building.

These beings were known to many of the unsc and allies alike as Brutes or other wise the Jiralhanae.

The two brutes were outfitted in blue armors that covered most of their bodies with only the second thing as their main weapon, the type two energy weapon hammer or more commonly known as the gravity hammer. Though the two brutes may have seen to be very intimidated to the eyes of their allies occasionally but frankly they were one of the only jiralhanaes that chose to side with humanity and it's allies due to the majority of their species being split apart after the human covenant war had ended.

"Ah, titus, kraytah," Said kasno greeting the two brutes. "It is nice to see you two as always, tell me how's your first day as a guard duty going?"

Titus the brute along with his brute partner stepped aside and greeted the human in response with only a grunt. It wasn't that they don't like the humans, it's merely because they weren't used to being surrounded by a lot of them especially summing up the fact that they don't really know the man only that of his sister.

On the other hand it was true of what human had said, this was their first time being set on guard duty, they don't have to fight anymore since the war had ended.

Since their lord Chieftain Lydus joined the unsc and swords of sanghelios he had contributed some of his clansmen to help in any way out of appreciation, relatively after assisting his new allies for four years the Lord chieftain had proposed to the allies to have some of his brutes be taken with the sister ship of the infinity to assist in their grand expedition in finding a suitable planet where the humans, sangheilli and species of the allies can correspondingly live together in unity after their agreement to work together as a suitable force.

Kraytah bowed his head to show his none threatening side and stepped away from the door.

"Oook, thank you kraytah, and titus, you ha-"

"Keep going flesh meat," Speaked titus as he outright disregard the man presence.

"Oook, thank you two,"

...

Once inside the cafeteria kasno could see numerous allies species eating and drinking together.

He peeked to the other side where he saw mostly those of the brutes and sangheilli species were eating on separate tables, on the far end of three ten foot wide tables set the unggoys or just grunts for that matter.

The five foot six stubby things was happily eating together with the likes of the other elites humans and especially the kig-yar jackals.

To think that those grunts was smaller than an average human, kasno had vouch not to get on their bad side, the little beings may be smaller then others in the allies but he saw firsthand how capable they can be in numbers, meaning you'd think twice before they start jumping you. Nonetheless kasno was just glad every one the ally species put aside their differences and start working together in a jointly operation.

A woman dressed in a pilot uniform as she carried with her a helmet on her right hand. With her brown hair tied up in a ponytail to help cope with her tasks she waved at the scientist while walking towards him.

"Kas, kas," Shouts the woman as she came over to him.

Chuckling to himself kasno knew full well who the woman was and turned to greet her.

Sigh*

"Hello shiela, how's the morning for you going," Responded kasno as he accepted the extra mug of coffee from the pilot.

"I'd say it's good," Answered shiela as she yawned. "But unfortunately I had to wake up early for not so important errand,"

Kasno brow raised at that. "Really, how come,"

Taking a bite of her glazed doughnut she replies. "Apparently the madam herself has requested for me to head on over to the village first thing in the morning,"

Kasno was wondering what it is his sister would've want from shiela as he mull over it. "Well what a coincidence, you don't if I join you on your little ride,"

"Of course I don't. Bagel," Replied shiela having no problems with that.

"Yes please,"

Village.

Military calendar

Time: 0846 - 8:46am.

A woman waved goodbye to a nearby villager who she had just got done helping in setting up her shop. She came to a halt in front of a hut and gaped at a twisted part of a wooden pole.

The woman was not one to complain but once she was done with a contemporary of paperwork, she had also made a note to assist the villagers regardless of what they say, after all it was she and the rest of the crew on the dawns who were responsible for destroying a considerably large portion of the villagers food crops. This caused a lot of the people to demand an expenditure of help from the allies.

And now after the past couple of days it took a while for the captain and his crew of the dawn to make restitution of payment to the village chief and his people as an apology for destroying their hard earned crops of food.

In return the captain made a proposition to the village chief that he could have some of his soldiers, or men and women to go hunting for food, and have others assist his people in making better food crops for them along with the construction of a farm although the captain hadn't told the old man that yet.

Walking on a seven step stairs Sara sorvad came to a halt in front of her door and twisted it. She had to opened the door slowly so as to not cause more dusts from the top of the frame from falling.

As sara closes the door now that she was inside of her cabin a loud sigh of relief exited implying she was pleased to see that there's no more people around to see her acting like her own usual self.

Inside of the well shanty cabin that she currently resides in set only her own table brought in from one of the unsc soldiers. It was the captain advise to have one of his men assist her in bringing a belonging of her choosing something she appreciated the old man for.

Sara walked towards the table and got down on one knee, from how tall she is with the height of 6ft she had to reach for a little bit further till she finally felt it, a fifty inch square portable computer she had stored inside of the table just underneath it.

Bringing it out Sara set it ontop of her table as she pulled in a chair and then began typing. As she typed in her password a picture of twenty six people popped up. God how she misses most of them, all of those people in the picture brought about a recollection of the past times she had with them.

Among one of those people only one member of the group in the picture was gone, he was one of those that was as much of brother to her as the others, blood or not the spartan was there whenever she or the others were ever in need of help. The man was quiet doesn't say much and very unsocial, yet he would respond to those in need without a problem of himself being in a dire situation.

Six years, six, that's how long the big guy was gone ever since the information about him was spread out in the net from ONI. Thinking of one of the many people responsible for the spartan made her revolted in loath of cognitive hate. Though deep in she came to a term of acceptance that if it wasn't for the hush people themselves five wouldn't have never met them on captain whitcomb ship.

Catching up on what she had just thought about Sara shook herself clear from the current thought of going back on that last time she saw him.

Loosening up a bit she took a deep breath and clicked on a particular emblem of a ancient Greece helmet.

Sixteen minutes she was busy typing in her daily duty, she could've save the assignment for tomorrow to finish but knowing the place she's in Sara couldn't keep herself lingering any longer.

And Just as she was about to head on over to her own fridge a buzz in her right pocket causes her to halt in her steps, as she pulled out a six inch screen phone a green logo popped up, swiping it up a voice from the caller immediately made her cover her right ear.

"Geez, loran, what the hell are you yelling so loud for!" Muttered Sara as she had to pull the phone away from her ear.

"Oops, sorry about that girl, but enough of that, there's something that you need to hear," Said the woman from the other side of the phone.

"What's so important that you had to be so loud for?" Said Sara now that the normal voice of her friend is back to usual.

"Well, I don't know if you'll think what I'm about to tell ya is a lie,"

Sighing to herself Sara let out an contested comment. "Loran, just tell me what it is,"

"Ok good, cause I think a certain person's name you'll be hearing will surely shock you," Loran said to her.

Wondering who her friend was referring to Sara decided to just bare with it. "Alright hit me,"

"Koa is alive,"

A moment of silence that felt like a minute to her passes by, now she wasn't sure if loran was making things up or maybe that this was one of her pranks, but to hear her speak that name Sara doubted loran's assertion and chose to question her statement.

"Loran you have to be lying to me, is this one of your pranks," Sara said questioning her old friend.

"Sara, now I know that you think it's a joke, but I promise you it is not a lie nor is it one of my pranks, but I am telling you the truth, koa is alive," Loran says to her with slight grievance.

"How do I know that you are telling the truth loran, cause last time I recalled fiv- I mean koa died seven years ago," Stated Sara correcting her misstep in the spartan name.

"Cause I'm staring right at him,"

"Loran are yo-

Sara could hear an irritated sigh from her friend in the other side. Knowing how she is Sara was going to speak once more until her friend beat her to it.

"Sara, just do me a favor, grab your car keys, and drive your old ass over here... I'll send you the location,"

Eyeing the key for the warthog Sara decided to appeal to her friend hoping if shell regret the sense of hope that had swelled up withing her or that maybe she'll regret it.

"Ok, I'm on my way," Said Sara as she was on her way to the door and closes it. Though she wondered who the woman was with knowing the world they are in now. "Loran who is with you now?"

"I'm with fireteam majestic,"

Five POV...

Five the marines and taynor had been walking for the past few hours, for as long as they strolled till the sun had risen the group took in the time to immerse themselves into the beautiful view of the sunny day.

The scenery itself was filled with the sounds of birds chirping along the far distance of the sky forest. To their left just a few hundred yards was a stream of water fall that connected into a yet big enough lake for hundreds of people to swim in.

Trees unlike they have never seen before we're bare with gleam of green light when the sunlight sets on it. Animals such as deer's who's body were distinctivly different then that of one from earths, although five larath and the marines were sure that they just saw a squirrel off some kind waving at them when they passed by but soon ran off when they spotted the spartan for unknown reasons.

But one thing for sure was that the residence or people that the spartan and marines presume were from the village were not as so much as afraid of them when they strolled by them. Men and women who were working in the field cutting grass alongside with children who looks more like teenagers just eyed the marines and five with looks of wonder and curiosity with bits of apprehension while others just glances at them with interest like as if they were used to seeing a group of marines and especially that of five.

On the other hand there were children who ran towards five and the marines, the little ones came and hugged larath and her squads without a worry of who they were, five though he had a couple more of them surrounding him, taynor sensing the uncomfortable situation the spartan was in as he was trying to walk around and over the little youngsters... Five moved some of the kids aside without trying to harm them the slightest and notices taynor glaring at the children intensely motioning for them to back off...

Five although appreciates the aid from the kid motions for him that its alright as he told him to remain calm. Deha on the other hand made a quip of comments of how a spartan like him can have no remorse of killing grunts and jokes about being encircled by kids as they hopped on his shoulder and began hanging and sliding from his back.

"Aww would you look at that the famous koa defeated by children,"

"Whatever, as long as they don't hurt themselves, hey that's not a toy!" Shouts five as he grabbed onto his BR55 battle rifle.

"Get away from that!" Caitlyn says as she snapped a grenade from one of the kids.

"Jesus, this kids are something," Mike spoke mike as he had to hold up his knife and only weapon the M6H pistol.

While the groups were trying to not scare or injure any kids on accident a fifty foot wooden gate began opening outward slowly, the groups who were attentive towards it while holding off the kids eyed the gate as two people were strides towards them with eight guards following from their sides as they then circled the groups.

"Children depart for now, and go back to your parents, now!" The older woman shouts.

The marines and spartan were pleased that the woman called the little gremlins as they then held their guns out with their fingers on the trigger yet with the head pointed downwards.

Five had to drop a little girl down on both foot just two feet as she happily smiled and wave while running off. As he stood up to his full height the guards immediately held their spears and pointed at both he and the marines alike.

"Koa there's a child behind you!" Alerted deha.

The spartan forgot about the other child and caught her in an instant before she had even touched the ground. "Sorry kid, now run along and go back to your dad and mom,"

The little one just giggled and merrily hopped off of his hands as she waved him goodbye. "Ok sorry about it, bye bye,"

The old man who seems to be in his mid fourties with black and white hair stepped forth with a genuine smile.

"Hello there, my name is rithinaian, this here to my right is daenaria my wife, and we are chieftains and leader of this village," Both of then bowed in a formal way with their head down.

Larath and her marines just stared at each other and then turned back to the two people. Meanwhile Larath stepped forth choosing to be the speaker for the group.

"Ummm, hello there, we mean no harm, my name is larath, this three behind me are my squad or crew as you can see, black hair over there is Franklin next to him is Caitlyn the one behind her is mike," Said larath finishing introducing them.

The trios of marines didn't know what to do at that point and did their best of what any people would've done infront of a royalty as they straighten their back and bow to the two village leaders.

"Nice to meet you two,"

The two village leader acknowledged four of the marines and responded in the same manner as they two bowed.

As the two leaders finished they then turned to the giant amongst the Marines. The marines glances at the spartan expecting for him to presently introduce himself to the village leaders. Five though hadn't shown any sign of response to the two people and just answered by bowing his head.

Daenaria the wife steps forth along with her husband spoke.

"May I know your name please?"

After some convincing from his AI companion five eventually replied with a simply by switching the safety on and then retracting his BR55 Rifle on the back of his magnetic holster.

"I am Koa sierra-005, you can just call me five,"

"Five you say, forgive me mr. But is that not just a number?" Daenaria said questioning why someone like him is named after something as easy as letters.

"You've asked for my name, and you got it, there's no need for questioning it,"

"And you can call me deha," Another voice said speaking up.

This caused both rithinaian and daenaria to step back in surprise of who had just spoken, thinking that the armored being in front of them was a man until he sounded like that of a woman, that's when both village leader was going to speak till the husband beat the wife to it.

"Forgive me for asking, are you not a man? For I thought you were one just a moment ago, unless you are witch of a woman underneath that armor of yours?"

The wife daenaria saw that the spartan glanced down at her husband and she thought that the being was offended in someway, she immediately went in beside rithinaian left and apologize on his behalf.

"Please Forgive my husband for his ponderous distortion of words ser koa. For he has dealt with much in his life due to witches," Daenaria said thinking of the worst.

Five felt kinda bad for if he had caused both couple to feel threatened by him in any way, so he took three steps back in reassurance as to not cause them anymore periling over something they might've thought they said wrong.

"It is alright, I do not mind the mistake, nor am I offended by it your husbands words, so there is no need for you two to apologize," Koa says to them.

Daenaria saw the marines chatting with themselves in silence as she catches sight of the uniforms they wore.

"If you do not mind me asking sir, maybe perhaps you and your bands of groups are an acquaintance of the people of ser Danforth whitcomb,"

Larath the marines and koa all shared glances at one another.

"You are correct," Answered five.

"Good, good, then I am happy to have hear that ser five," Replied Rithinaian.

As the two village leaders was conversing amongst the spartan with larath and the marines all the while they were unaware of certain people who were hiding in the forests. It was well apparent to koa and deha who the obvious individuals were.

"Do you think they even know that we saw them," Deha said to five.

"Let's find out,"

Five then activated his communication coms, three to six seconds later of waiting patiently the spartan had finally received a response from one of the unsc personals.

"This is sierra zero-zero-five, I'm with four marines in front of a village gate with two of it's leaders, do you copy?"

"This is spartan ray, we copy you zero-zero-five... Do not be alarmed spartan, I repeat do not be alarmed for we will have two spartan fireteams escorting you to captain whitcomb,"

"Copy that spartan ray, five out,"

"Hmm, ray, I don't recall any of your spartan 2 companions having a name like that?" Says deha reminiscing on thought of whoever the woman was that replied to koa's call.

"That's cause there isn't one,"

The name of the spartan made koa thought back to to the time he was a cadet, he tried to think of any spartan 2 who was called ray and suspected that there wasn't anyone by that sort of name.

The marines and five saw that from both of their sides about seventy yards came two groups of armored individuals as they exited the forests, each one of the blue armored people were numbered up to five members. Koa saw that the ten of this armored beings resembles that of he and the spartan 2's, although there was some slight discrepancies between the two's and this ones, they were as about nearly as tall as the spartan three's who he had met back on onyx during a gathering mission between him blue team green team and of course none other then kurt himself.

God how he hopes each and every one of them are doing alright koa said thinking to himself.

One spartan in particular colored armor who's helmet had two yellow lines coming down on the top with that same color on either side ears as well. He knew of this type of armor due to it's helmet as the infiltrator type. This one sort of Mjolnir armor five was aware of as it was mainly use for the benefit of stealth missions.

He remembered back on 2555 one of the spartan 2's, otherwise known as Cassandra sierra zero-seven-five, Cassandra was given the armor of her choosings, the Mjolnir Gen 2 scout armor or the infiltrator, and so she chooses the second option. Sierra zero-seven-five was one the best hide and seekers amongst the two's, during a mission were she and him were responsible for the rescue of one of the civilians and ONI personals she had manage to sneak past hundreds of insurrectionist as killed some along the way with ease even when the innies having aid from thermal sentries detectors.

As the companies of Spartan's reached koa and the groups of four marines they came to a stop just six feet from them.

"I see ser whitcomb has sent his fellow Spartan's," Spoke rithinaian as he greeted the ten Spartan's.

The lead spartan stepped towards koa with her hands forth.

"Spartan Naiya ray of fireteam Kodiak sir, this to my right is spartan Gabriel thorne, leader of fireteam majestic," Said the ray as she shook hands with five.

"Just a current leader for majestic, DeMarco is just on infinity right now. It's nice to meet you sir," Gabriel says as he shook hands with five as well.

"It is nice to meet you two as well... Tell me where is captain danforth whitcomb?" Inquired koa.

"The captain has been informed of you and the marines arrival. We can bring you and sergeant larath to him," Answered Spartan ray.

Larath nudged koa by his sides as she whispered slightly. "I feel like a ghost for the way they haven't even introduced themselves to me,"

"Don't worry, it won't be the last," Responded five.

"Asshole," Larath muttered. "Excuse me spartan, if you two wouldn't mind, I would like for taynor here to accompany us along the way,"

"As you wish ma'am," Said spartan ray.

Spartan thorne turned to the two village leaders. "Madam daenaria and ser rithinaian, if you would please, the captain had also requested for the two of you to accompany us,"

"Of course spartan, let us leave for now," Rithinaian speaks out as he then signaled for two of the guards on top of a wall as they began pulling on a lever.

In front of them the large gate started opening as two more groups of the same Spartan's as thorne and ray exited. While the Spartan's we're passing by five, thanks to his augmentation koa manages overhear them muttering as they were speaking about the marines and mostly that of him.

One of the Spartan's who was peeking at his way quickly looked the other way when five caught sight of him while the others pretended as if they were chattering amongst each other.

Ever since five and the groups were being led into the village he notices one no two strange woman on top of the walls who has been watching him ever since spartan ray and thorne revealed themselves. As he and the group took a left five saw two of rhe woman immediately jogged past a couple guards and other marines who were on guard duty.

"Strange couple?" Muttered deha.

Five just replied with a simple yes at his companion comment and turned to where the others was heading, as they took a straight path five could easily spot a unsc vehicle, the Mastodon Apc. Yet as five studied this particular vehicle he can tell that it was likely upgraded to that of a larger version of the one he was used to seeing, this mastodon was five times bigger then it's previous counterpart, on the top back where there is usually one turret were two more but just seven feet away while two marines were manning it.

As they reached the Mastodon apc the back of it's hangar opens, one woman dressed in a unsc marine uniform waves at five and the marines. She then hopped out and greeted both thorne and ray as well as their team. As she does the woman introduced herself to laraths and her squad, she then turned to meet koa who was amongst the tallest out of everyone due to his height.

"Hello there, the names is jella, I'll be you and the others personal driver, it is nice to meet one of the master chiefs fellow Spartan's, you guys are like legends amongst us," Jella says as she shook hands with five.

"It's good to meet you Ms. Jella"

"Thank you, anyway, please all of you follow me in and ill show you to your assign seats," Said jella.

Larath went in as the third one and took a seat closest to that of the driver as she hopped on one as slumped down relaxing as she leaned her head back further enjoying the comfy leather.

"I see you haven't had a joy of a bed for long young Ms." Comment daenaria as she sat across from the sergeant.

"You got that right ma'am, me and my team haven't had a bed for days since we've arrived on this piece of a dirt world," Responded an amicable larath.

Spartan ray who was sitting next to jella leaned forth and knocked two times.

"We're good to go Jella,"

"Right on it," She replied. "Alright, ladies and gents, strap yourselves in and prepare for a bumpy ride,"

...

I'm sure some of you readers had heard of a few of this characters like that of majestic and spartan naiya ray, one of them are cannon some not, the non cannon ones I just wanted add in for the fun of it, like that of the village.

If your wondering who Sara sorvad is, well she is one of the few civilians that noble team from halo reach had rescued. No one really know what happened to her after the event of the game, maybe she was killed by that elite zealot who'd kidnapped her or second, she might've been one of the many people who had escaped reach during it's fall.

But the reason why'd I added her into the story is because I felt kinda bad that not a lot of people survived the fall of reach, civilian or not, so that's why included her.

Now for team majestic I really wanted to add the spartan four's cause they needed some shine as well. Blue team is the most well known including most of the spartan 2's team.

Gabriele thorne is obvious the current leader of fireteam majestic while demarco is on infinity.

For captain danforth whitcomb, otherwise known as vice Admiral whitcomb in the cannon event. I chose to keep him alive since he sounded like one of those good people in halo books.

If you guys want to know who whitcomb is then I suggest y'all go read HALO FIRST STRIKE to know about him.

Good luck y'all.
