Azure stared at the Spirit of Fire, "When will the Queen's Envoy arrive, Heart?"

"A-An H-Hour S-sir!"

"Understood, Commander, send in the Agents and a squad of ODST."

"Team 097 and ODST Squad 4,976?" Commander Xephi, a Zebra, asked.

"Yes, Order them to support the Agents, if they call for backup we should send in our Marines."

"Yes Sir.'

Sergeant Claw, a Black Dragon Agent smirked, he was a bipedal Dragon covered in Cybernetic implants. He also wore a Nano suit, "Yo Boys!" He yelled to his Squad, he liked to Call them the Dragon Squad.

"Yeah Boss?" The Scrawny Dragon known as Think looked to Claw. He was a dark gray dragon with yellow slitted eyes, "We got a mission?"

"Mhm, get Shred and Hose."

"Alright Boss."

Shred walked in with Hose, Shred was a golden scaled Dragon with dull blue eyes and covered in old and recent scars, While Hose was a female Gleaming White Dragon with twin red eyes and wearing a skintight uniform.

"Boss?" Hose smirked, "Mission or Fun?"

Claw smiled softly at the Team's Sniper and 'Toy', something she demanded she be called. "Mission Babe-" Hose's glare made Claw stutter, "T-toy."

Hose nodded, "Okay, what do we do now?"

"Join the Pony Squad."

"Oh no, not those idiots." Shred growled, "Why them, they suck!"

"They are an ODST team that, while not the brightest, are capable of pushing our team back in sheer power. They are a powerhouse."

"Fine, what are we taking to transport?"

"The new Cerberus Mini Corvette, this will also be our main transportation ship, let's head to the External Docking Bay."

The Two Teams arrived at the External Docking Bay where the Small Corvette sat, it was around twice the size of the X0-92 Troop Transportation ship, the standard Transport ship. However it was made with the idea of long distance travel and even had a small warp core. The Pilot of the ship was a gruff looking male snake Faunus. "Get aboard, we are going now."

The two teams quickly boarded the Cerberus. The ODST were wearing their Armor and unknown below their helmets. "So, Sarge." Claw smiled as he looked at the ODST Sergeant.

"What do you want, Colonel Claw?" Sarge asked, his voice gruff as he preened his wings.

"Are you ready for a possible blood bath?"

"Always am, what do you think? We are ODST, we are always thrown into the fire."

Claw nodded as he watched Hose tease the Youngest pony on the ODST Team, "Hose, quit it, you are not allowed to bang him."

"Aww, but…"

"No." Claw stated with no room for argument.

"Okay."

"We are coming in to land, preparing for Hot Drop, the situation is unknown. We will remain on site for an hour before we stay within radio range for pick up." The Pilot's voice reported.

"Okay, everyone ready?!"

"Yes Sir!" Claw's team Responded with excitement. They felt a soft thud as the ship landed and the Ramp opened allowing for the ODST Team to exit in a flood and secure the landing area.

The Agents followed behind and ready for anything, Claw shouldered his LMG, the Standard issue rifle for Draconic kind. Hose was also sporting her LMG while her XL-971 Anti-Material rifle was attached to her back sling. Think was also holding the LMG with his twin pistols inside his pistol holsters and a shotgun on his back. Shred was wielding his Automatic Drum Mag Shotgun with a 12 gauge gatling gun attached to his back, on his hip was the double barreled 12 gauge automatic pistol shooting shorty shells.

Now Claw and Shred walked before Think and Hose, "So Boss?" Hose asked as she secretly rubbed her thighs together sensually. "Wanna play later?"

Claw sighed, "Hose, I know you were a Prostitute and Mind broken Slut when we found you at that Slave house, but please, we are busy. None of us are thinking of Sex or even playing yet." Claw gently reminded Hose, Instantly Hose realized what she did wrong.

"I… sorry Boss, I sometimes Forget we… I'm not there any longer."

"It's fine, just cool down, we have a job to do."

"Understood."

The ODST opened the nearby door to the inside of the Spirit Of Fire, they all quickly recoiled as the smell of Rot and Death filled their nose. However Sarge reacted quickly, "Hostiles!" he shouted as he opened fire with his Dual Battle Saddle Assault Rifles. The Dragon Squad heard the disgusting sound of something popping, they quickly stepped before the recovering ODST and used their LMG to lay down covering the rife. "What the hell are those things?!" Think asked with stunned shock.

"Reports stated that the ship was infested by something called the Flood, this must be the Flood. Cerberus we need reinforcements, this is a bad situation, we need all the marines and ODST we can spare."

"Understood, getting in contact with Azure now."

"ODST Boys, this is way worse than what we first assumed, however we must secure the ship and evacuate all crew from the ship, they are most likely in Stasis and will be confused. We have to save as many as we possibly can!"

"Understood!"

The scoutship released Boarding Pods towards the UNSC Spirit of Fire each one with a small battalion of ODST and Marines. While more pods headed towards the Ship bridge to secure it and activate any of the ship's defenses.

Dragon Squad and the ODST made it to the Cryo-bay after fighting and defeating a horde of the Flood, "Boss?!" Hose asked, "We made it, the Cryo-room looks mostly clean, almost like someone is here-" A Bright Spotlight shined down on them, "Oh, nice." Hose smiled.

Three heavily armored soldiers wearing power armor glared at the Agents and ODST, "What the hell are you doing on our ship?!"

"Rescue and Recovery." Claw answered simply, "We received a SOS from your ship and we chose to assist in any manageable manner. We have boarding teams currently within the ship attempting to take over the ship from these monsters."

"Hm, this is not important now, me and my team have been trying to retake the ship for the last few days. Our AI Selena most likely summoned you before she shut herself down."

"We are here to evacuate the ship until we can retake the ship from this threat."

"Nope, none of the crew will want to leave, this is our home, we will fight for it no matter what. Oh sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves, I am Commander Jerome of the UNSC, these are my squad members Douglas and Alice. We already dealt with a situation like this before, we had a second Flood Infection years ago, it seems we missed a few buggers."

Claw nodded, "Okay, well good news the infection seems to be mostly superficial, the numbers we dealt with are pretty small compared to what we expected."

Jerome nodded, "Alright, what shall we be doing?"

"Hold tight, our Boarders are currently retaking the ship."

"Understood."

It only took an hour for the Imperial soldiers to take complete control of the ship and defeat the Flood forces, however the damage was bad across the ship, over half of the ship's crew was dead or changed. The ship barely had enough crew to consider it functional, the ODST and Spartans were the only force mostly untouched while the Marines were almost entirely wiped out.

The Captain of the Ship, Cutter, was massaging his face with despair, "How many did we lose?" He asked Anders.

"To many, we only have 5k left in total, the ship is also extremely damaged and it will take a year for us to get the materials to rebuild."

"We can help with that." Captain Azule smiled, "We will allow you to repair your ship without Mobile Repair Foundry. Free of charge of course."

"Now why would you do that?" Cutter asked suspiciously, "We aren't your citizens, not part of your Empire, and definitely not allies, so why?"

"The queen's order was to Support our Visitors to the best of our abilities."

"So you let everyone use vital Repair platforms?"

"Mhm, they are Citizen and Military usable, however a ship may only use them if they are heavily damaged and likely not to arrive at their destination."

"I see, what do you want in return for helping us?"

"To assist in this war you all have, we cannot stand by while innocent's die mercilessly."

Cutter and his crew were stunned by the sheer passion behind the Dragon's words, "Alright, will the 'Queen' be arriving soon?"

"She is here, that is her ship." He pointed towards the small Angular Frigate.

"Why would the queen of a powerful Empire use a small ship?"

"Don't ask me, I never met her, but from stories I heard aboard the Ultimate and inside the Imperial Capital Rosius, she is a very kind and gentle soul."

"Awww~ Captain Azure, how nice of you to compliment me!" The Voice of Ruby hit's their ears as the Spirit of Fire's Bridge door opens revealing a 19 year old girl with black-red hair and silver eyes, she wore a red robe with purple accents and a gold crown on her head. "Hewo!" Besides her stands a few guards, both of which were Royal RONI Guards with their affiliation on their breast.

"Miss Rose, please calm down!" The RONI agent cries out in dismay, "We can't protect you if you avoid us!"

Ruby blinks, "Oh I'm sorry!" She wilts slightly, "I just like meeting new people from new races, it's exciting!"

Cutter blinks, "That's the Queen? Isn't she young?"

"Hmph, you would assume so, however when I was born she was the one in charge, and I'm 54 years old, legends say she is 500 years old." Azure thought

"Unbelievable." Cutter states, "She looks no older than my daughter the last time I saw her." His eyes widened as The Queen vanished and appeared before his face.

"Yo, so, this is your ship?" She asked innocently, unphased by the rifles leveled at her, none of her guards or Military personal even bothered to interrupt. "This is one nice ship, however the Hull Armor is quite… lacking. No energy Shields, and no reactive armor plating?" She quickly vanished again and appeared by the windows.

She was staring at said armor, "Hm, Titanium-A Armor Plating, boring!" She yelled out with a visible pout, "That is just sad, why have you all not upgraded to Reactive plating yet, we have to fix this! Agent Lucium!"

A young Pegasus Pony ran over to her side panting from exhaustion, "Y-Yes my Queen?"

"I want this ship to get a full Imperial overhaul, no systems untouched, I want this ship ready to endure a Hevak-class Supercarrier!"

"Aye Ma'am!"

Ruby nodded, "I hope you don't mind Captain, I will also be issuing you a Standard Military AI, until you can return home and regain a Proper AI."

"I would appreciate it, however, I am unsure if I can trust that." Cutter stared blankly.

Ruby giggled cheerfully as she teleported around the room in a swirl of roses, she quickly appeared in a one handed handstand, "Well, I could do anything I wanted to hurt you now, like inform my ships to fire at will, but instead I told them to assist, so I have no reason to hurt you physically. As for the AI, your Information is quite low on my interest. I may be the Queen but I don't rule the Empire, at least not physically~!" She giggled, "To be honest I wanna help you all because I'm interested in what allies I can gain." She begins to do one handed push ups. She looked directly into Cutter's eyes as they flashed from Silver to slitted crimson with black sclera. "So, do you want to accept my offer or not?" Her cheerful voice carried a small weight.

"Yes."

Ruby vanished again and appeared on the back of her Lacium, The agent, already used to the Queen's Eccentricness merely sighed at the minor weight.

"Cool, well, as of this moment, I am handing over command of two of our most Dangerous BattleCarriers and their escorts to you. Along with that are the 16 Escort ships that will protect your ships." Ruby stated, "However I wish to ride with you when you return to your home territory."

"M-My Queen!"

Ruby blinked as she looked to her Agent, the Pegasus looked shocked, "O-oh right, Yes of course, My own Naval Unit will be defending the Ship, as you know, I um… I kinda have to be protected at all times, even if my Immortality is complete."

The last part of her sentence went over the heads of most of UNSC Personeel.

A few months later the UNSC Spirit of FIre was completely repaired and enhanced with Nano-tech Armor and Adamantine Shielding.

The ship even gained a Crew of Combat Droids, not to mention the battalion of Imperial Soldiers that resided aboard the ship solely for defending the Queen.

Said Queen was happily eating a bar of chocolate as she sat upon her Floating Throne, "Heh! Space!" Her face was tinted pink from the alcoholic soda she drank. "I wove Space!" She giggled mindlessly.

The Three Spartans all frowned at her attitude, "Is she always like this?" They asked the RONI Agent, Lacium could only nod sadly. "Why is she… like this?"

"She's Entirely immortal, she is over 400 years old at the moment, thankfully she has never lost a 'piece' of herself. She can make others Immortal also but she never does."

Ruby suddenly jolted into clarity, "Oh, no!" Everyone looked at her startled, "We have an issue!"

"What?"

"A massive ship is above the planet you claim is Reach!" Ruby's voice caused everyone to pale, The Imperial knew that if the Queen was freaking out the situation was bad. While the UNSC knew of one ship that would cause her to panic.

"A CSO-class Supercarrier." Cutter exhales in stunned silence as his eyes land on the massive Carrier ship.

"Shit, this is bad!" Ruby cursed to the shock of her Imperial guards. "What do we do? None of us were expecting a ship of such size, I have no doubt in my mind we could take it, but the rest of the fleet alongside, hell no."

"Mistress, what should we do?"

Ruby frowned, "I can use my magic?"

"But wouldn't that ruin your reserves, the distance and size would put a heavy strain even on you…" Lacium frowned.

"I know, but it has to be done, that ship is the flagship of our enemies, if we can destroy it."

"The enemy will panic." Spartan Douglas calmly states.

"Exactly." Ruby jumped into the air and landed on a solid air platform, she gathered her magic in her hands. Streaks of lightning zaps across her body as the flames surround her hands. She reached her hands towards the CSO-supercarrier.

The magic ship was covered in a flickering veil of ruby colored flames, Ruby's face instantly started to sweat as the strain of long distance magic usage hit her, but she did not stop. Ruby's magic started to shift black around the edges as shadows began to leak from Ruby's eyes.

Ruby's sclera bled black as her silver eyes slowly turned a blood red, "Come on!" She growled as her magic flared even stronger causing a crushing weight to circle her.

The CSO ship was quickly engulfed by the magic field, and Ruby started to use her magic to crush the ship, with all her might.

The ship's frame began to warp and distort from the pressure and with each inch of progress her overall magic gained more pressure.

Then suddenly the ship imploded, Ruby's magic flickered away and she collapsed to the ground covered in a thick layer of sweat.

"O… Oh… boy… I may be physically disabled for a few days." Lacium grabbed her Queen and gently sat her back on her floating throne, where she fell asleep.

"Well, at least that is done." Cutter smiled as cheers erupted within his ship.

Everyone, including Covenant were completely stunned as they watched their strongest ship, Long Night of Solace, be destroyed so suddenly. However, what happened next was the Covenant reeling. A Barrage of HyperNova Missiles flew into the Covenant naval lines and completely decimated the naval power. Each missile was strong enough to tear through Covenant shields and atomize the ships underneath with more than enough power for more.

The next thing that happened was a small fleet of 36 ships appeared above the Planet Reach and began to open fire on the Covenant fleet. The conventional weapons easily tore through the shields of the Covenant ships, while their own shields entirely ignored the Covenant return fire. Every ship was actively defending a familiar looking ship that was currently descending towards the Planet. Four smaller ships began to follow the familiar ship and acted as shields for the ship. However stray shots hit the ship which was also covered by shielding.

Suddenly D77-TC Pelicans began to fly from the ship's hangars as ODST Drop pods were dropped from the ship. Behind the Pelicans were AC-220 Vultures with an escort fleet of Sabres, AV-14 Hornets, AV-22 Sparrowhawks, G81-Condors. The Air support began to bombard hostile locations before everyone's eyes. While the Pelicans all landed, releasing Marines. 2 Herons escaped from the Ship and dropped a Firebase onto the surface of Reach, this was quickly protected by the Air fleet and marines. The Pelicans quickly ascended and started to gather as many civilians and extract them to the firebase.

The UNSC Personnel were stunned as the bright white letters of a ship they assumed lost with all hands shimmered in the light of the star overhead, UNSC Spirit of Fire. Escorting it were four ships by different names, each one had their names on a Holographic display across the hull, RESC Applewood, RESC Morning Star, RESC Blaze of Glory, and RESC Night Veil. Each one with angular silver armor similar to the UNSC Spirit of Fire. The Four Escort ships were in the four corners of the Spirit of Fire.

The newly added external speakers of the UNSC Spirit of Fire crackled to life, "This is Captain Cutter of the UNSC Spirit of Fire with assistance from the Rose Empire Space Command, we are here to help." As if to further cement the status as factual the Drop pods from each non-UNSC Ship landed by the Spirit of Fire Firebase. The pods exploded revealing Anti-Ship Heavy turrets now embedded into the ground.

Covenant ships started to fly towards the base and five ships, however each one was quickly cut down like paper. To further insult their attempts the Ships all began to spread out and hovered above the Anti-ship turrets to further assist in its efforts.

High above the planet the two Tug ships dragging a Teleporter frame quickly connected the teleporter together, they quickly evacuated the ship which landed on the frame and started to power it. There was a shockwave as the Teleporter activated creating a massive Pink and purple Portal.

Inside the Spirit of Fire Lacium grinned, "We may have lied slightly, You see, This was not our entire fleet we would be bringing, no… after hearing what we did about the Covenant we all decided… That War was to be started."

All the UNSC Members were stunned as the Portal quickly flashed allowing for a massive Myghty-class Supercarrier to exit from the portal. The ship was around 17 kilometers long and 3.8 kilometers tall and 5 wide. The ship was skinner near the front and wider at the back, covered in angular silver armor plating. Along the hull is the Holographic name of RESC Rose Queen's Revenge. The ship was quickly covered in blue lightning particles before it vanished from its spot. It appeared before the Covenant fleet from shockwaves and quickly opened fire. Each of it's guns was powerful enough to cause the massive ship to visibly shake, This ship was obviously made to tank hits and deal back devastating damage while also closing in on the enemy constantly.

"What is that?" Cutter asked.

"The Rose Queen's Revenge, a Ship we had been thinking about for some time, Able to move at near light Speeds at the cost of Shielding. Capable of taking hits at the cost of flexibility, and the most powerful gun in the navy, it is usually the best in the back of a fleet providing heavy weapons support." Lacium happily stated.

The portal flashed again and a Ship looking very similar to the Spirit of Fire appeared, however it was larger than the Colony ship. On the hull was the name, RESC Soul in Blaze.

"You… You managed to replicate our ship in under a month?!"

"Mhm, it was a good idea, Now the Spirit of Fire and her sistership, Soul in Blaze, will be ready to help defend her parents!" Ruby cheered finally awake, however she looked visibly sick and pale.

"Mistress!" Lacium shouted, "You're okay?"

"N… Nope." She popped her 'P' to confirm. "I think My magic coils are heavily damaged, but… I will manage."

Suddenly the Soul In Blaze released a swarm of combat drones, the swarm was so thick it blocked out of the star overhead, the swarm quickly vanished in blue zaps of lighting as they teleported across the planet.

Ruby weakly smiled, "I did such an amazing job," She giggled weakly.

"Teleporting Drones?" James balked, "Why?!"

"Well, the RESC Soul in Blaze is a Drone Carrier ship, they don't have ground crew or even ground vehicles they only have drones to take the place of soldiers. As for why they Teleport is quite simple, Fast response, imagine if hundreds of drones could appear above an enemy base while they were not paying attention and begin to attack it?"

"Chaos."

"Yeah, they are Chaos drivers, wherever they go Chaos follows, and they are easily replaceable." Lacium finished for Ruby.

"Mhm." She smiled, "Maybe we can do something fun-" She blinked as she watched the Covenant forces begin to retreat seeing they have made no headways in destroying the RESC ships. "Oh… those cowards."

"It does make sense, they were not even able to scratch a single one of your ships, while they were constantly losing theirs."

Ruby frowned, "I mean yeah, but at the same time, this is not a good thing. They retreated, that means their command will know of our involvement and send a more powerful force, meaning we have to get an entire fleet here."

"And that's bad how?"

"Politics." Ruby scowled in annoyance, "I have to convince the President of the Empire that this is a necessary path, as I only have the power to overrule my other branches in an Emergency situation." She frowned, annoyed at her younger self, "I made it so I could not use my power to become a tyrant, however it is an annoyance."

James nodded in agreement, "Well-" He was suddenly interrupted.

"Captain! The UNSC Highcom is demanding us to land and for you and Queen Rose to exit the ship!"

James sighed, however Ruby gave a grunt. "They better not expect me to stand, most of my muscles are in critical condition and it will take a literal week before I can stand again."

The UNSC Spirit of Fire lowered to the ground and landed within one of the few intact UNSC Shipyards, the RESC Escort fleets were hovering overhead protectively. The Spirit of Fire's external hatch opened with a pressurized hiss, the newly modified ship shimmering with the silver reflective armor plating.

Out of the ship James Cutter walks out with his escort of Spartan 2's and Ruby Rose sitting in her Floating throne being escorted by the RONI Agents. Ruby had her eyes closed as her head pulled to the side, she quickly snapped awake but her eyes had become bloodshot.

The current Highest ranking Military leader, Vice Admiral Hieronymus (Harold) Michael Stanforth stood there with his personal detachment of ODST and Marines. He glanced towards Ruby who regarded him with an exhausted gaze, she quickly pulled off her crown and placed it on the top of her throne. His eyes drifted to the Escorts of the newcomer, they were caring in species but each one wore a very dignified black and white uniform with a Emblem of a Crown surrounded by foreign spaceships.

James Cutter to his miniscule astonishment looked the same as he did at the start of the war, same with the Spartan red team.

James quickly saluted him once he spotted the Admiral rank along his arms.

"Well, if this isn't a surprise, Captain James Gregory Cutter, we assumed you were lost with all hands." James nodded solemnly, "That was over 27 years ago!"

"Yes Vice-Admiral, However I discovered a new ally who decided to help me and my ship return home."

Harold smiled as James pointed to the tired looking 19 year old, "And you are?"

"Queen Ruby Rose of the Rose Empire." Lacium spoke for her, "Please excuse our queen, she is beyond exhausted, afterall destroying a massive ship like that… CSO using only sheer magical power is quite tiring."

Harold blinked as he realized she said magic, "Who and what are you?"

"Ah forgive me, I am RONI Agent Lacium Intensix of Level 0, I am the Queen's Body Guard, Assistant, and overall helper. I also help deliver naval secrets of the Rose Empire Space Command to her Majesty. As for what I am, I am commonly known as a Pegasus Pony of the 97 Imperial Region."

Ruby croaked as she slowly sat up, "Lacium, Naval Status?"

"Oh! Right, all UNSC Ships are currently being repaired by our Super carriers, rescue efforts are currently underway to ensure the survivability of as many UNSC Personnel as possible."

"Thank you." Ruby smiled weakly, "Sorry, but… destroying a ship that size has left my body physically disabled for at least a week, however, let it be known. Even as Weak as I am currently, I will not tolerate injustice against my people, we are here to help but only at the request of Captain Cutter." She finished weakly before curling into a ball within her throne and passing out.

Lacium sighed, "My Queen, you could have just slept, you didn't have to stay awake."

"Is she… alright?" Vice Admiral Harold asked, "She looks… ill."

"She is physically fine but magically drained, every species within the Imperial is capable of using Magic, just so you know, but none of us are as powerful as she is. Except for the Prophet of the Rose."

"Magic seems kinda far fetched." VIce Admiral Harold stated.

"It may seem that way-" Ruby suddenly jolted awake, her body covered in thick sweat, everyone in the Imperial looked stunned. "My Queen?"

"W… we have an issue… the Covenant are going to unleash a monster."

"A Monster ma'am?" Harold asked curiously.

"A species that destroyed the Forerunners, something that is so destructive the Forerunner's created weapons of mass destruction to purge the entire galaxy of all life." Everyone was stunned into silence, no one spoke, "Captain Cutter… the Flood… they are going to be released."

Cutter's eyes narrowed, "We destroyed an entire planet to remove them as a threat, that wasn't enough?"

"No, because the Flood is spread all across the Galaxy, almost every single Forerunner structure has a chance of containing the flood." Ruby ground out, "I… I'm summoning the full might of the Military, Fuck standard procedures, I will be using Imperial Control." Ruby sent the command.

High above the Planet Oblivion sat a Space station with the Title, SIC, or Schnee Imperial Company. Inside the Station was a White haired 20 year old, she wore a black dress and bow holding her hair in a Ponytail. This was Weiss Schnee, she looked as young as she did when she first became immortal but she had visible signs of stress and exhaustion. Her Scroll chirped as she received a new message, with a tired groan Weiss checked it. It didn't take very long before her eyes became alight with a visible fire.

"I suppose it's time." She pushed the button on her desk and spoke clearly, "Miss Umbra, please call off all meetings for the next 6 months, it seems something far more dire has come up."

"Yes Ma'am!"

Blake was currently coated in a thin layer of blood as she personally tortured a Pirate, "Tell me where your friends are and the pain will stop." Blake calmly stated, she no longer hated this part of her job, but she did not enjoy it, she did it for so long she grew numb to this. She took solace in that everyone in this chair is a Monster that should be put down. She also understood how necessary this position was.

Before she could continue she heard her scroll chirp, she looked at it, and looked at the Pirate. She smirked, she pulled out her scalpel and slit their throat, "Guess this is no longer needed."

She exited the Torture chamber and walked to the Bridge of the Ship she was currently in, the HMS Black Cat, a RONI Stealth Carrier. This was her personal Carrier, it was escorted by 4 destroyers, 2 battleships, and around 10 Frigates.

She turned and looked to the Captain, "Full steam to the HMS Unlimited."

"Aye Ma'am."

Inside the HMS Golden Dawn, a Oblivion-class Battleship, standing at 4 kilometers long it was a terrible sight for most enemies, it was cylindrical in nature, however in the very center is the main Gun, a Particle beam. Across the hull are numerous Plasma turrets, and near the rear are four heavy cannons on the top, bottom, and sides.

In the Ship's Bar is the High General of the Imperial Military, Yang Xiao Long, her fancy suit now ruined by alcohol stains. They just finished their party after defeating a large Pirate group, but Yang was not allowed to completely recover. She jolted as her Assistant tapped her shoulder, she looked at him with a weak smile.

"High General Xiao Long, you have received a message directly from the Queen."

Yang groaned, "You will have to read it… everything is darkening."

"Status:0 Emergency Meeting, War on Horizon, Hostiles in bulk, Enemies in Shadows, Old evils returning to destroy all living."

Yang's eyes widened, instantly her drunkenness faded with a flicker of her aura, "Return to the HMS Unlimited, that is the order."

Team STRQ was sitting in the Throne room, they already received the message and were ready for the meeting, the Throne doors opened revealing Weiss, Blake, and Yang. They all had serious expressions that perfectly matched STRQ.

JNPR also walked in, each one looked just as serious.

"Where is Ruby?" Penny asked, her body easily identifiable as Cyber person thanks to no longer having to hide what she is.

"She left with the Spirit of Fire, however she called this meeting personally."

Yang nodded at Weiss's statement, "Yes, however I think that the situation is far worse than what she placed."

Blake frowned, "Well, without Ruby, Jaune you're in charge."

Jaune looked around the same age as Ruby and everyone else, his blonde hair long and pulled into a ponytail. He wore an Admiral's uniform along with multiple medals he earned through his service. "Hm, we should take the Atlas."

"The Super Carrier?"

"Mhm, along with the Mantle."

Everyone's eyes popped, see the Mantle was not one Ship, no it was two ships that could combine into a single larger ship, it was specially designed for this purpose, apart they were easily Super Cruisers, but together, they were a Super Battleship. The ship was built like this to enforce the idea of teamwork and unity between Races, it took in the design idea's of every species and put them into work.

"A-Are you sure, the Mantle just… it just finished being built, it's not even fully stocked yet!" Blake nearly shouted.

"Which is why we use a Supportship, the Equestria, the only ship the Ponies gifted us for our support after we showed them how to build starships."

"I…. this fleet, it's more than just an attack and return, it has to be, this is the type of fleet one prepared when they expect a war but cannot send the entire navy."

Jaune nodded, not even denying Ren's observation, "These Covenants are a big threat, which is why we will send everything we can spare without much question."

Everyone was quiet as suddenly Light walked into the room, he had a hard expression, "It is time for the Forerunners to reappear, no longer will we hide in shadows, we will show ourselves to the Universe at large. We will support the fleet with our Navy."

The Forerunners, like Human and Faunus were rebuilding at a rapid rate, they now had a population of 7 billion, and contained the third strongest navies.

Behind Light was Princess Twilight and her friends, "Us to." Twilight smiled, "We want to show to help the best we can, that is why we will be sending of our naval powers. We are also backed by the Dragons, Griffins, Yaks, Changelings, and even the Diamond Dogs."

The room was silent from shock, but they could not manage a response as Shade walked in, currently possessing a Human. "I, along with the Symbiote Republic, offer my assistance. We are willing to spare around 1/100 of the entire Symbiote drone navy to assist in this conflict as long as the Imperial sends an extra detachment for defending the Symbiote nest."

I…. I… I did not expect this, you all received the message from Ruby?" Jaune asked in shock.

"Yep!" Pinkie cheered, "This will be awesome!"

Light sighed, "I must confess, I assumed I would be the only one giving my assistance in this mission, with this Naval front, I doubt the Humans or Covenant will consider this a peaceful situation."

"I… I know, this is…. At least 125K ships."

"Most of which will be Drone ships."

Applejack asked, thank her if you did not understand the numbering, "How can one faction spare 100K ships?"

"It is quite simple, each ship is operated by a single Symbiote that breaks itself into multiple fragments to operate each aspect of the ship, basically no matter the ship size and power it only has one crew, the sole Operator who controls everything about the ship. Symbiotes are quite literally a part of the ships."

I… wow."

"I know, it makes their navy the literal Largest, no navy can compare, only with the Human/Faunus/Forerunner/Equus navies all Combined will only reach maybe half of their naval power. They are the reason no threats will ever ever try to compare to us with ships, only in ground engagements will they have a shot at winning. They literally have around 12 million ships, however they never actually offer to help."

"We only help in dire situations, which this appears to be." Shade replied.

"I… I don't think I have to offer my assistance." Yang mutters.

The Portal to Imperial space started to glow as streaks of light shot from the portal, each streak of light manifested itself as over a hundred thousand massive ships that outclassed most of the UNSC ships and remained slightly smaller than the Covenant. Each ship was different in design, many of which even had different designation titles, the RESC Designation was sorely lacking, only maybe 2k were RESC, while the rest were conflicted.

The FUM Or Forerunner United Military, UESC Or United Equus Space Command, and the final, most numerous designation, SGN or Symbiote Galactic Navy. Each ship visibly outclassed the UNSC ships, and to the shock of the UNSC Crew it was only a single day since Ruby released the message and they had their meeting.

The Combined fleets appeared and each Commanding Officer released their messages.

"I am Admiral Lunar Sight in Empty Solitude, Forerunner and a part of the Forerunner United Military. We are here to assist UNSC against the threats of the Covenant."

"I am Lord Civa, Symbiote, and Leader of the Symbiote Galactic Navy!"

"This is High Admiral Golden Scale of the United Equus Space Command, we are here to help."

The Final message erupted from the Flagship of the combined navy, Atlas, the Super carrier. It was easily 30 Kilometers (18.64 miles), and was flanked by the Super Cruisers, Mantle 1 and 2. The Atlas looked like an Atlas-style Airship except with a large factory along the belly, The hull was covered in massive turrets, either Ballistic or even Energy based. The carrier had visible indentions where doors retracted allowing for fighter craft and even small escort ships to be stored. Its main weapons were 6 Energy lances, 12 Plasma Lances, 1 super massive 'downward' pointed Oblivion Cannon, 20 30 meter Mass accelerated Artillery cannons, and 120 Quantum Torpedoes.

The Mantle ships had a similar loadout, except it had 12 Energy Mortars. They also looked like Atlas old airships only smaller and custom fitted to be able to combine into one singular ship.

"This is High General Jaune of RESC Team JNPR, Leading the Combined forces of Team RWBY, and Outsiders! We are here to assist in UNSC Affairs, please be aware that rash actions will be met with deadly force."

The Covenant fleet appeared just in time to receive that message, and almost instantly the sheer size of the combined fleets, and the Forerunner Message, caused multiple ships to break Formation and halt, this included the Flagship Seeker of Truth. This unraveled into every ship of the fleet stopping dead in their tracks as the messages ringed through the ships.

Inside the Seeker of Truth Bridge, there was silence as everyone was stunned. Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee's eyes widened at the four messages. But his surprise did not fade as the faces of the four appeared, each one was striking and unique. This Jaune however was a Human, but very different from the ones he fought.

They soon spoke as one, "And we are the Rose Empire United Forces!" The Forerunner was the one with far more vitriol in his tone, his eyes glaring through the scream with sheer hate and malice.

The First ship of the Enemy fleet began to glow, its hull quite literally erupted with Golden flames, each ship did the same however the flame's color was different. This spread to every ship of the fleet, each ship covered in ethereal flames. These flames expanded and created a massive Emblem above the fleet. A Rose in the middle of a single gear and 2 ships, this emblem was also surrounded by the Forerunner glyph of Mantle of Responsibility, the Rising Sun and Moon over a mountain, and a Heart in the center of a Planet. These Emblems quickly began to meld into one singular glyph where all their pieces came to play. This singular Emblem appeared along the hull of the ships besides the Holographic names.

Each ship engulfed in the visible flames but far more controlled.

"Supreme Commander… What do we do?" Rtas 'Vadamee asked with awe, "T-They… they possess Forerunners."

"They are the Forerunners," Thel 'Vadamee stated calmly, his eyes narrowed, "We would be going against our Gods if we begin to fight, but we would also betray the Covenant if we do not."

Rtas frowned, "I doubt we could even win, they outnumber, Outgun, outperform, and even seem to have better teamwork."

The Rose Queen's Revenge was positioned in a very defensive position surrounded by the remains of the UNSC Reach defense fleet. Its main cannon swiveled and pointed towards the Enemy fleet, the ship was ready to become a Long Distance Cannon. It's Captain was a Forerunner known as Laziga of the Imperial Navy, this was not his name but his title.

The Rose Queen's Revenge suddenly received multiple messages from the Covenant ships. Curious, he raised an eyebrow and checked the message, "Oh?"

"Captain?" His Second in command, a Spec-ops Changeling Fang Heart, or Fang, she was a member of the Changeling Navy but volunteered to join the Rose Queen Revenge years ago.

"The Enemy fleet is surrendering in droves."

The fleet of Particular Justice was halted as the Combined Fleet stood strong, the UNSc were stunned at the actions of the Covenant fleet, even when they outnumbered the Covenant fleets they still attacked and won, so this was an interesting turn of events.

On the damaged Planet Reach the ship RESC Soul in Blaze quickly began to exit the atmosphere of the planet. It quickly flew up and slowed before the entire Imperial Fleet. Separated allowing the massive Atlas and its escort of the Two Mantle's flew in behind the ship, three Forerunner ships flew in before the Soul in Blaze, while two Symbiote drone carrier ships flanked the Soul in Blaze. Equus Fighter craft swarmed around the Soul in Blaze ready for assistance at any minute.

Aboard the Soul in Blaze Ruby yawned, "I hope this actually works and is not a trap."

"Ruby!" Ruby jumped as she looks over and spots her Old Friends, "What happened to you, you look-"

"Hehe, I look awful, I know. You try crushing a massive 17 mile long spacecraft over 13,872 miles away. It is quite draining."

The Bridge was silent as everyone looked at Ruby, even the ones who actually witnessed it like Lumina's jaw dropped.

"Hm?"

"R-ruby, how much magic did you use to do that?"

"Oh… around 93% of my Magical reserves. I am currently at 10% magic thanks to my fast Mana regen."

There was silence again as everyone just balked at Ruby, suddenly Yang spoke, "I see why you are worshiped like a Goddess, even I should worship you."

"Eh, why?"

"Ruby… you just destroyed a ship the size of an asteroid, and.. That's normal to you?"

"Uh… yeah… I mean I did destroy Planet #921 in the Rupture System, maybe 200 years ago."

Weiss scowled in annoyance, "That was you?! I was planning on setting up a Research base there, the amount of unknown alloys would have been beneficial to the Imperial!"

"Oops."

Penny coughed, "How big was the planet?"

"Tsk, it was a Brown Dwarf, however it was cooling in small cycles, allowing us to gather the metals for study…."

Everyone continued to stare at Ruby, "How is your Magic so powerful?"

"I… uh…. Forerunner Genetics was gifted to my family line by Light and Dark some 100k years ago. However I also have been receiving constant genetic alteration since Light and Dark first arrived 400 and something years ago."

Everyone just gave up trying to understand, "Okay, whatever, so you are a Planet buster, what else can you do?" Jaune asked sarcastically.

"Create Planets, and small stars, but that takes a lot out of me."

"My sister is an Actual Goddess, amazing."

Before anyone could speak something happened, a Slip space portal opened before the Covenant Fleet. The Captain of the Soul in Blaze shouted, "It's a Trap!" His voice echoed through the ship through the intercom. However what everyone saw, was not a Covenant ship, but instead a Forerunner Dreadnought Keyship.

"What the hells?" The Captain asked in confusion, "What … where did that come from?!"

However more portals appeared and these revealed even more Forerunner Dreadnought Keyships. Suddenly the Final portal released its ship, only this one was not alone, it was inside a large Planetoid with a large expansive spire extending from the structure.

Everyone was in shock, this included the new arrivals, and the Fleet of Particular Justice were now left with only one choice, defend High Charity no matter the Cost.
