Yo this is just an edited copy.

August 25, 2557, in an unknown part of space...

"Chief! I need you!" Cortana screamed as the ship's warning alarms flashed and sirens blared. Inside the cryotube next to her, a man was slowly regaining consciousness after four years of cryogenic slumber. Then, the lights in his helmet turned on, and he leaped out of the cryotube and grabbed the holo-pad that Cortana was on.

"John." Cortana sighed in relief as she looked at the super soldier.

"What is it? Are we under attack?" Master Chief asked as the ship rumbled again.

"No, worse. We're heading straight for a black hole!" Cortana screamed. Master Chief was silent before he spoke again.

"Are you sure?" Master Chief asked.

"Yes. The remaining scanners that are left on the ship alerted space-time abnormalities, several hundred meters away. I recognized it from the experiments that Dr. Halsey and I conducted on black holes. It was before we met. The ship's caught in the gravitational pull." Cortana said.

"How much time do we have before we make contact? What will happen when we make contact?" Master Chief asked as he grabbed his assault rifle and reloaded it. "Based on our current speed, we will make contact with the black hole in a half-hour or less. Yank me. I'll upload a countdown when I'm in your head." Cortana said.

"What escape options do we have?" Master Chief asked as he put his hand where Cortana's feet were, causing the AI to vanish. He then yanked a small chip from the side of the small pillar and pushed it into the back of his head. Then, a number appeared on the lower right side of his helmet at 30 minutes. Then, it started going down.

"Phew, it's good to be back here! Did you have a nice nap?" Cortana's voice as Master Chief looked around.

"What are our escape options?" Master Chief asked with more force in his voice this time as the ship rumbled again.

"Well, we have four ODST drop pods, and two Pelicans remaining in the hanger that didn't fall out when we escaped Halo. You want a full inventory and weapons assessment?" Cortana's voice asked as Master Chief leaped out of the room.

"No! Can we use the drop pods or Pelicans to escape the ship before it makes contact?" Master Chief asked as he flew through another room and smashed the doors leading to another room down with his feet. The number in his helmet was already fifteen and lowering fast.

"Sorry, chief, we're too close already. The gravitational pull of the black hole will suck up anything at this range. Plus, a Pelican or drop pod doesn't have the engine power to do so, and there's no planets or other planetary bodies nearby that we can land on. There's nothing we can do, even if this ship was in one piece and we had a Slipspace drive." Cortana said as the countdown reached ten minutes. Beneath his helmet, the Chief gritted his teeth.

"So, any ideas?" Chief asked as the ship rumbled again.

"Well... I have an idea, but it's crazy." Cortana said as Master Chief continued his path through the rumbling ship. "What else is new?" Master Chief asked.

"Well, nothing ventured, I guess. I didn't escape the Gravemind and Halo just to die in a black hole." Cortana said. "What's your idea?" Master Chief asked as he bounced off a wall in the direction of the ODST pods.

"Well, we could try to ride it out. ODST pods are designed to deflect radiation when they're going through a planet's radiation. Your armor's shields are the same. So, the best thing at this point to do is to bunker yourself in one of the pods. On the bright side, this will reveal some amazing data and finally unravel the secrets of black holes!" Cortana said as the rumbling got even more intense and the countdown in his helmet got to five minutes. At that minute, the ODST pods came into view as Master Chief shot into another hallway.

"Hurry Chief, get into that pod now! I'll let you know when we're in." Cortana yelled as Master Chief grabbed one of the pods and forced it open. He leaped inside and closed it. "I hope that your luck can get us out of this. If we don't make it..." Cortana said softly.

"We've already had this discussion. We'll make it." Master Chief said.

"It was good to talk to you again, John." Cortana said. At that minute, the countdown reached zero.

November 27, 1995. England, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...

"Harry, you've got to stop messing with Umbridge!" Hermione frowned as she tended to Harry's bleeding hand in the Gryffindor Common Room. Harry didn't say a word.

"She's right, mate. I know how pissed she can make you, but you're not making things any easier with the Daily Prophet and Ministry against you and Dumbledore." Ron frowned from Harry's left side.

"Don't you think I know that?" Harry frowned.

"We need to do something." Hermione frowned.

"Like?" Ron frowned at Hermione. She smiled.

"If Umbridge refuses to teach us, we'll find someone who can." Hermione said as she looked at Harry, who blinked in surprise.

Elsewhere...

"John? Can you hear me? JOHN!" Cortana screamed as Master Chief blinked. Then, he kicked the door of the ODST pod, sending it floating away.

"I'm here." Master Chief said as he pushed himself out of the pod.

"Thank god. I was afraid that... I'd lost you." Cortana said softly.

"What happened? Did we collide with the black hole?" Master Chief asked as he looked around.

"Oh, we made contact alright, I can tell you that." Cortana said as Master Chief grabbed his rifle and pushed himself out the door.

"So, what happened?" Master Chief asked.

"I'm... not sure. I know that the ship was sucked in, but my scanners show that we were teleported to a different location. I'm using your armor's scanners to find our location." Cortana said.

"Teleported? Like a Slipspace portal?" Master Chief frowned.

"Well, I can't say for sure without further analysis, but... wait, it can't be..." Cortana said slowly.

"What is it?" Master Chief asked with confusion.

"I'm detecting a large object, coming into view now. You might want to look out a window." Cortana said. Master Chief pushed himself to a window in the next hallway, and barely

contained his shock as a round object came into view in the distance. Master Chief could now tell that it was a planet, with a small moon orbiting around it. The planet was covered in blue water, with several large land masses.

"Cortana, is that?" Master Chief asked with surprise.

"Yes. It's Earth." Cortana said.
