AN: Hey guys wassup? So, story time. I've been brainstorming and thinking of ideas and wondering where am I gonna put these other four-man Spartan teams to. Like, which reality or universe am I gonna send these four Spartans to? I searched high and low even nook and crannies for a suitable reality for them to and found Killzone and COD: Infinite Warfare. But as time went on, I just don't have that drive to write those two stories where I involve COD: IW and Killzone, so decided to leave it alone. For Killzone though I'll think about it. There was one group left and I don't know where to send them to. I searched and again and finally one day, I finally got an idea. How about I sent the three groups of Spartans to the same three worlds that the other three groups of Spartans were thrown to? And so there you have it. Anyways with that's out of the way enjoy the story ;D.

"Where are we?" Vale wondered. She was in the middle of the forest.

After the whole crazy fiasco of a fight with Cortana a bright light consumed them and the next thing she knew…she's somehow on Earth? Or is it Eridanus? She sighed. The planets almost looked the same anyway. She looked around her to see three Spartans laying on the ground unconscious. There was Siris from Fireteam Ravage along with Iowa and Kaikaina from Fireteam Reds and Blues. To be honest, she was quite surprised being with the two Spartans from Fireteam Reds and Blues. Vale only met them once when Fireteam Osiris was introduced to them. The dark red Spartan then walked over to Kaikaina.

"Spartan! Wake up!" she shouted while shaking her.

"Five more minutes Grif," Kaikaina groaned.

Vale continued shaking her. "Wake up Kaikaina!"

The yellow armored Spartan groaned as she opened her eyes. Her vision beginning to be clearer.

"Huh? Hey, aren't you that Spartan lady from that…Osirian Egyptian Fireteam?" she asked as he she sat up.

"Fireteam Osiris," Vale corrected her. "You remember me?"

"Uuuuhhhh…O-Olympyca Dale?"

Vale chuckled. "Olympia Vale. Just call me Vale."

Kaikaina nodded. "Got it." The yellow armored Spartan looked around her. "What're we doing back on Earth?"

"Who knows, but we may be on another planet than Earth. Eridanus, Reach, Draco, anywhere."

"Eh, they all look the same."

Vale looked to both Siris and Iowa. "Come on, let's wake the others."

"Right. Whoa, you still remember my name."

"Course I do Kaikaina."

Vale went to wake Siris while Kaikaina went to wake Iowa.

"Sergeant Major sir? Wake up!" Vale shook Osiris.

Siris' vision cleared as he instantly woke up. He sat up and looked around him before looking at Vale. "Vale! You, ok?"

"I'm green sir."

"You know where are we?"

"Don't know sir."

Siris sighed. "We could be anywhere in the universe. We'll have to find an outpost soon. Good to see you again by the way."

Vale nodded before smiling at him. "Likewise, sir."

"AAH IT'S NOT ME!"

Vale and Siris looked to see Iowa already waking up.

"Wasn't me," Kaikaina said, throwing her hands up.

Iowa looked around him. "Uh…where are we?"

"That's like the million-dollar question now huh," Kaikaina muttered.

"We don't know where we are yet Iowa," Vale told him.

Iowa looked at Vale before widening his eyes in realization and surprise. "H-h-hi pretty Spartan lady. But I forgot your name."

Vale gave a chuckle. "I'm Olympia Vale, but call me Vale."

"O-ok."

"You're always nervous around pretty ladies huh?" Kaikaina teased him.

"Uh-uh-I-uh-I," Iowa stammered.

Kaikaina put her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry 'bout it."

"How come he's not nervous around you Kaikaina?" Vale asked her.

"Oh, he's around me, Ohio and Carolina for a while now so he won't feel very shy with us girls," the yellow armored Spartan explained.

"I see."

Siris walked over to his SRS-99D sniper rifle and dual magnums. He picked the sniper rifle and stored it on his back. He picked his two magnums, twirled the around before putting them both on his thighs. "Right, the best we could do now is look for a UNSC outpost and link up with the rest of our team for a counter-attack."

"Yes sir," Vale replied.

"You got it," Kaikaina added.

"Sir yes sir!" Iowa exclaimed, louder than usual.

"Well, you're rather enthusiastic," Siris said.

"Oh, they told me to yell whenever I'm going to respond people that are the high leader."

"I think you mean by 'people in a higher position'," Vale corrected.

Siris smiled as he chuckled before putting a hand on Iowa's shoulder. "Stay strong soldier."

"Sir yes sir!"

"Right, grab your weapons Spartans."

Kaikaina equipped her dual magnums, Vale with her M20 submachine gun, plasma pistol and magnum with Iowa with his Battle Rifle and a magnum.

Kaikaina pulled out a chip from behind her helmet. "Delta, you there?"

A green holographic figure clads in a Mjolnir Mark V armor appeared but was fizzing. "Yes, Kaikaina I'm here. But I'm seem to be in a little malfunctioning state. Nothing too serious. I'll be able to fix myself in no time."

"That's good to hear," Kaikaina said before turning to Iowa. "Hey Iowa is Sheila alright?"

"I don't know, I haven't asked her."

"I'm alright Spartans," the Battle Rifle suddenly said in a feminine voice. Her voice also sounds a bit fizzing. "I seem to be in the same state as the A.I Delta but I will be fine."

"That's good to hear Sheila. You and Delta get yourselves fixed up first alright?" Siris instructed.

"Affirmative Sergeant Major Siris," the two A.I said.

For the next few minutes, the Spartans walked through the forest while Siris tried contacting any Spartans or any UNSC personnel but came up short. Vale did the same and had the same result as Siris.

"It could be our armor system experiencing malfunction when that bright light from Cortana's machine hit us," Vale explained.

"Huh, I thought MY armor is the only one that's fizzing," Kaikaina said.

Siris sighed. Suddenly he stopped. "You hear that?"

The other three stopped as well.

"Yeah, I heard it too," Vale replied.

"Wait…civilians?" Kaikaina questioned, hearing the voice too. "The fu*k are they strolling outside for? Cortana literally had almost the entire universe on lockdown."

"Come on, let's get them to a USNC outpost," Siris told them.

The Spartan followed the voice. They got closer and closer as they finally saw them. There was a man and a child gathering woods. They were wearing jackets and trousers.

"Excuse me," Siris called out to the man and the boy. Both of them tuned their heads before widening their eyes in surprise.

"W-who are you people?!" the man exclaimed as he stood protectively in front of the child as he pulled out a pistol at them. Siris looked at the man. The man looked like it's his first time seeing the Spartans. It was weird because almost everyone even the ones in the outer colonies and the Solar System knows about the Spartans one way for the other.

"No, no it's alright. We're not here to harm you. We're taking you to a safe place."

"What safe place? What are you talking about?"

"To get you safe from Cortana," Vale said.

"Huh? Who's she?"

Now the Spartans were taken aback. How does this man don't know anything about Cortana? Siris and Vale even try to read the man's body language and expression whether he's lying or not as all Spartans were trained to read people (except for the Reds and Blues as they weren't trained for that).

"Sir I don't think he's lying," Vale whispered to Siris.

Siris just nodded. Something's not right.

"Andrew is something wrong?" a new voice called out.

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong," the man assured. "Just some weird folks."

"Y-yes, I believe this had all been a misunderstanding," Siris said. "W-we apologize for the inconvenience."

"Alright then. Come on Anthony let's get out of here," the man said to his son not taking their eyes off them. The man and the child slowly walked out of the forest before out of sight. This then left the Spartans to contemplate on things.

"What's going on?" Siris muttered to himself. "Let's just get out of the forest first, then we'll think about this."

The Spartans nodded continued their trek in the forest. Minutes later they're finally out of the forest as a road was in front of them.

"Right then, which way do we go?" Siris wondered.

"Maybe, right?" Kaikaina said.

"Or maybe left?" Iowa added.

Before Siris or Vale could answer they heard a shout not too far from them. They looked to their right to see the father and son they saw earlier with a woman wearing a white uniform with a blonde hair harassed by a couple of thugs.


The father laid on the ground after one of the thugs gets the jump on them. Normally he would pull out his pistol but one of the thugs checked his pockets and jackets, taking his wallet, keys and pistol. His 9-year-old son hugged the female Android caretaker out of fear for him and her.

"Please, just take the things, but leave them alone," the father begged. He was pinned to the ground with one foot by the thug.

"Oh, don't worry 'daddy' we'll get out of your hair as soon as we get out Android," the thug pinning him down said.

"Come on sweet cheeks, no one has to get hurt. Just come with us. You don't want the kid getting a bullet to his head huh?" the other thug said.

The two were standing in front of the son and the female Android having their guns out but didn't point their guns at them.

"Alright, alright. I'll go with you," the female Android said.

"Ana don't'!" the father said.

"Andrew, they'll kill your son if I don't go," the female Android known as Ana said. "I'll go."

"Good, now c'mere sweet cheeks," one of the thugs said.

Ana bent down to the child's level. "Anthony, listen to me. Take care of your father, brothers and sister alright?"

The boy, Anthony had tears welling up in his eyes. "No, don't leave please."

"They'll kill you if I don't," Ana said as he hugged the boy. "Take care Anthony. I love you."

Anthony continued crying as he hugged her tightly.

"Come on sweet cheeks get it over with," the thug said.

The thug that had his foot down on the father rolled his eyes. "I'm gonna miss happy hour for this."

Suddenly he felt someone tapping his shoulder. He turned around and looked to see a giant in black armor looming over him. before the thug could react, he was knocked out in a flash. The father widened his eyes in surprise as this was the same armored giant he met. But the giant stops there. The giant moved like a blur as he went and knocked out the other two thugs before the thugs could even react.

"Ana!" Anthony exclaimed as the little boy ran to her and hugged her. The female Android returned the hug.

"You folks alright?" the armored giant asked.

The father, son and the Android looked at the giant in awe.

"Th-thank you," the father said.

The giant held out a hand to him to which the father accepts and was pulled up to his feet.

"How'd you know we'd be in trouble?" the father asked.

"Oh, we weren't that far. And we heard a scream," the giant said.

Three other giants walked up to them in a variety of red, blue and yellow.

"Everything ok?" the red one asked.

"Uh-huh," the black armored one replied.

"Who or what are you people?" the father asked.

The giant turned to Andrew. "I'm Spartan Sergeant Major Siris from Fireteam Ravage."

"I'm Spartan Olympia Vale from Fireteam Osiris. Please to meet you."

"I'm Kaikaina and this here," Kaikaina then put a hand on Iowa. "Is Iowa."

"Hi."

"We're Spartans of the UNSC," Siris said.

"So…you're military?" Andrew said.

Siris nodded. "Yes sir."

"I see. I'm Andrew that's my son Anthony and our Android maid, Ana."

"Nice to mee you sir," Siris replied as he slightly bowed. "And did you say Android sir?"

Andrew nodded.

"Huh, Android. First time I've heard of it."

Andrew and Ana were taken aback.

"Y-you've never heard about Androids?" Andrew asked.

"No, but just Artificial Intelligence in holographic forms where we're from," Vale then answered."

"Yeah," Kaikaina perked up. "Like this." The yellow armored Spartan took out the chip from behind her helmet as she shows to the three of them. And there standing in front the three is a holographic person in green armor.

"Greetings. My name is Delta."

Andrew, his son and Ana looked at the small holographic A.I with wide eyes.

"You feeling good now Del?" Kaikaina asked.

"I am feeling fine, thank you for your concern."

"Incredible," Andrew said. "We've had Androids but this?"

Suddenly the heard a groan as everyone looked to see one of the thugs starting to get up, only for vale to knock the thug out.

"We should vacate this premise," Delta suggested.

"Agreed," Siris said as Kaikaina puts Delta back to her helmet.

"You can stay at our place," Andrew suggested. "It's the least I could do."

"We appreciate it," Vale said.


The Spartans followed the father, son and the Android until they finally reached a house outside of the forest and road. There was even a vegetable garden with few vegetables near the house.

"Nice house," Siris complimented.

"Thanks. It's all we have currently. We're planning on moving out days later," Andrew explained. "This actually isn't the first time we encountered thugs here. Only today, it's the first time the thugs took us by surprise."

"I see."

"It's better than me and my bro's house," Kaikaina said.

"We're home!" Andrew called out.

From the house came a 17-year-old teen boy and a 10-year-old girl.

"Dad!" the two called out. The two looked at the armored giants causing them to look in shock.

"We have guests."

"What are they? Robots?" the 17-year-old boy asked

"They'll explain everything," the father replied before looking at Siris. "You're gonna explain everything right?"

Siris nodded.

"Alright then."

They all went inside the house as Andrew put all the equipment down. The Spartans looked around the house.

"Hmm, very quaint," Siris commented. The sergeant major Spartan took off his helmet as did the rest of the Spartans. Andrew and the rest stared at them.

"I know what you're thinking, yes, we are humans," Vale said. "We're not robots."

"Why does everyone think we're robots," Iowa wondered. "I mean, we're people, like…literal people."

Minutes later everyone gathered around in the living room as the father prepared drinks for the Spartans.

"This is my other son and daughter. Jay and Liliana," Andrew introduced.

Jay just nodded his head.

"Please to meet you all! Call me Lily."

"I'm Spartan Sergeant Major Siris."

"I'm Spartan Olympia Vale. Call me Vale."

"I'm Spartan Kaikaina Grif. This is here is Spartan Iowa."

"Hi."

Kaikaina pulled the chip out as she showed to the rest of the family. "And this right here is Delta."

Delta appeared from the chip causing the other son and the daughter to look in shock. "Greetings. I am the UNSC A.I Delta. Please to you meet you two."

"And this rifle here is Sheila." Kaikaina then put a hand on Iowa's rifle.

"Hello everyone!" Iowa's rifle spoke.

Now the whole family was taken by surprise. First a small holographic A.I and now aa TALKING gun?! Who are these people? But there was another question that lingered in Andrew's mind.

"Sergeant Major?" Andrew spoke up.

"Yes?"

"What is this UNSC?"

Siris was taken aback. "You don't know? How could you not know? The UNSC has protected you all for many years from terrorism and threats out there in space."

Andrew widened his eyes. "There's something out there in space?"

What the hell…?

"The United Nations Space Command. The military overseer of the UEG or the United Earth Government. In a nutshell, they protect and serve."

"We've never heard of this UNSC before. Maybe they're a top-secret government military organization. I think that's why we've never heard of them," Ana said.

"That is actually false Ms. Ana. The UNSC is very widely known by every single inhabitant on Earth and outside of Earth. The UNSC has been involved in every single battle against the Insurrectionists and then the alien Covenant," Delta explained.

"Wait, aliens?" Jay questioned.

"Yeah, the Covenants. You know, those religious fanatic aliens that wants to destroy us," Kaikaina said.

The family looked at them in confusion. Siris however looked in great concern. Something isn't right. These families didn't even know anything about the UNSC, the Covenant, NOTHING! But before Siris or any of the Spartans could ask, they're attention were suddenly caught by the sound from the television. The Spartans turned to see the television and were caught off guard with that they saw. On the television was an advertisement filled with things about "Android models" and "CyberLife" and how both of them has changed everything in Detroit and later, the entire world. Siris approached the television while at the same time not blocking the television's view from the others.

"What the hell?" the black armored Spartan muttered.

"Delta?" Vale said.

"Yes, Spartan Vale?"

"Can you do a search of Androids in your database? Maybe we missed something."

"Affirmative Spartan. Standby."

"You guys never heard of Androids?" Jay asked.

"Nah, we only got ," Kaikaina answered.

"Search complete. I have no recollections of Androids in my database," Delta said.

"I knew it," Vale said.

"Uhm, what is an Android?" Iowa asked.

"It's basically a robot with a human appearance," Vale explained.

"Oh, I see. Caboose would've been happy."

"Yeah," Kaikaina said. Knowing Caboose, the goofball of a Spartans would make friends with just about anyone. Especially machines. Vale then looked to see Siris who's now in deep thought. He no doubt was thinking about the current situation they are in now.

"This doesn't make sense Vale. There's this "CyberLife" and then "Androids". Why haven't WE heard about this?" Siris questioned.

"You and me both, sir," Vale replied. Suddenly Vale widened her eyes in realization. "Sir, I think I know."

"What is it?"

"Remember Cortana's machine? Warden told us it could rip through time and space. Now, this may sound crazy sergeant major but…we may be in another reality."

Siris was about to open his mouth to reply but stopped himself before he gave a sigh as he put his hand on his head. "This is a lot to take in."

"Is there something wrong?" a small voice said.

The two Spartans looked down to see the little girl, Liliana. The two bent down the girl's level.

"You need something?" Vale asked her.

"No, I'm just worried coz you two seem frustrated."

Vale and Siris looked at each other before the two smiled at the little girl. Vale caressed her head softly.

"Come on, let's join the others," Vale said to Liliana.

Meanwhile Kaikaina told the family stories of the battle against the Insurrectionists.

"For real, those Innies don't know what's coming for 'em when the UNSC arrived," Kaikaina said.

"It is true," Delta chimes in as his Chip is placed on the family table. "The Insurrectionist have taken many lives before the Covenant attacked."

"You can say that again," Kaikaina said, her voice now more solemn. "Mom died getting shot by the Innies. Dad died getting eaten by the Covenant's Brutes. I was young at the time. All I remembered was just…horrid screams."

"I'm sorry for your loss," Andrew said.

"Thanks."

"By the way, what do these 'Covenant' look like?" Jay asked.

"I believe I can be of assistance," Delta answered. "Kaikaina, can you put me inside your helmet?"

"Sure," Kaikaina took the chip and insert it to the back of her helmet.

"Accessing data archives. Stretch your left arm out Kaikaina."

Kaikaina did as she told.

"One moment."

Holographic screens started to appear on Kaikaina's gauntlet causing the family to look in awe.

"Is that some new feature from CyberLife?" Andrew asked.

"Nah, it's just your standard UNSC tech," Kaikaina replied.

"And there you go," Delta said.

Kaikaina's screen then showed different kinds of Covenant in action.

"There are different kinds of species in the Covenant. Or in this case, Cortana's Covenant," Delta explained.

Andrew then saw his daughter coming up to him. He smiled as he picked her up to his lap. "Hey there sweetie." He then kissed her on the cheek.

The family and Iowa continued to listen to Delta's explanation regarding the aliens while Siris and Vale went to clean their weapons.


Present

"After that we stayed for a few days at their house fending off the bandits and whatnot, that's why they moved out. Thankfully they already did move out," Kaikaina explained.

"While we're helping the families move out, we saw…well…Felix and Maine on TV," Siris said.

"Called it, I told ya'll we're celebrities," Felix said happily.

"Of course, we helped the family move out first before we went and found you guys. I just hope they made it across the border," Vale said.

"I'm sure they will," Markus assured her.

"And if you're wondering Felix, yes, we saw you on TV when you're defending Markus and the Androids from the riot police alongside Buck," Siris told him.

"Aww thanks," Felix said. "How do I look? Handsome? DASHINGLY handsome?"

"Like sh*t Felix," Tucker answered.

Kaikaina, Tucker, Iowa burst out laughing while Siris, Maine, Buck and Vale shook their heads.

Felix laughed with them. "Well, I hope your ass' ready in our next sparring session Lavernius."

"Yeah, whatever," Tucker replied dismissively.

"Anything we can help with Markus?" Vale asked.

"Just with the supplies," Markus said. "Nothing big."

"I'll help," Siris volunteered.

"Yeah, why not," Kaikaina replied.

"Yeah, let's do this!" Iowa said enthusiastically.

For the next few minutes, the Spartans started bustling about in Jericho. Markus stood on the catwalk overseeing everything. Suddenly he heard loud footsteps as he looked to his right to see Siris walking towards him.

"Anything else Markus," Siris asked.

"No, nothing at the moment. Thank you Siris."

"Don't mention it."

The black armored Spartans walked away from him as he went down the catwalk.

"Hey was I supposed to put here though?" Kaikaina asked.

"No, no. RIGHT here," Felix instructed. "Not there."

"As if days couldn't get better huh Markus," North's voice called out. The revolutionary leader looked to his right to see her walking towards him. "Mind if I join you?"

Markus nodded.

North stood beside Markus as brief silence overwhelmed them.

"You know…I was wrong about the Spartans," North spoke. "I remember it was like yesterday I treated them like dirt…I was stupid."

Markus put a hand on North's shoulder causing her to look at him. "We all make mistakes. My master Carl told me that what's most important is that we learn from them."

North nodded as the two continued to look at the bustling Androids and the Spartans helping each other. this is the future that is worth fighting for where Androids can be free and everyone, be it humans or Androids can live together in unity.

AN: And I'll leave it right there. I hope ya'll enjoy it. Please give me constructive feedbacks and constructive criticism, and don't be afraid to tell me which parts of the story I need to improve. This is Samuel Loegan saying, thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter!
