Chapter 4

Guest- I can agree on the Master Chief being given GM Mobile Suit, but I don't agree with the idea of him physically ripping a Gelgoog in two. That seems…rather unlikely, even for a Spartan-II. Then again, I could be wrong and it may have happened in the books with a tank or something.

edboy4926- I didn't mean it'll take lifetimes to understand the technology. What I mean is that the technology is so advanced that no one can create a workable Slipspace drive because the tech behind its creation is miles ahead of whatever UC Gundam has during the One Year War period. They can't just create it from scratch. There's got to be trial and error for this stuff. Prototypes and the like. Plus, why would Chief give the Earth Federation or Zeon such technology? It's like if you give a child a gun. It's never going to end well because they don't have any idea of the consequences of firing it or how to handle it with responsibility and care. It'll also probably be bad writing if UC Gundam can create a working slipspace drive quicker than Halo's humanity as well. Without outside influence that is and…well, do you think any current Halo characters in here will willingly do that? Besides Joy.

Robo Reader 21- Probably should have more people honestly, but we're not done with that base yet. Don't you worry. They'll come again.

I think I did have Joy do that. Scanning the woman I mean. Do you mean even more advanced scanners?

Eh, I wouldn't doubt that. The Master Chief has destroyed so much stuff in his lifetime. Things that are even more impressive than a Zaku II.

Austin- Yes the Flood is quite dangerous. If they show up here, which is up for debate as they're quite powerful. Perhaps a bit too powerful.

ZILLAFAN- Well, it's all contained in the ARK at the moment and he's apparently a lesser-known Brute so…I don't know.

R reyes- Normal UC.

RedRat8- I see. You will learn who the woman is this chapter.

7/13- Update due to criticisms.

Zeon Base

Captain Vernus

"What happened here?" Demanded a Zeon Captain by the name of Vernus as he looked at various medical personnel treating the casualties from a firefight inside the only Zeon Base in this region due to its insignificance to Zeon's war efforts. A result of both the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon caring little for the region in order to focus on more strategic regions on Earth. Up until today, there was no reason to devote more resources to this area beyond the minimum requirement to secure it. That, however, changed when the California Base received a transmission from the base, saying they uncovered odd, but advanced technology that surpasses anything they've seen from the Earth Federation. Thinking it was elements of the Earth Federation's Project V, the California Base ordered the nearest Gaw attack carrier to the base to ascertain the technology. What they found shocked the commander of the Gaw.

Over three dozen men were killed, including the commanding officer of the base. In addition, most of the base' Dopps were destroyed along with a few of their pilots and technicians. And finally, all of the, supposedly, advanced technology was stolen from the base by a metallic, green monster. To make matters worse, most of the technicians that worked on disassembling the advanced technology were dead. The ones that remain had only surface-level knowledge of the technology, making them worthless.

As Vernus watched a medic treat a gruesome wound on a soldier on his chest, Vernus saw that whatever was used on the soldier wasn't standard rifle rounds used by both the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. The wound was larger, indicating a higher caliber of the bullet, and the fact that there was only one hole indicated a marksman weapon. Yet the amount of dead and wounded soldiers indicated a light machine gun or, at least, an assault rifle. Either the men here were very incompetent or they were dealing with a skilled soldier.

Having seen enough, Vernus grabbed the only conscious enough soldier for interrogation aside, despite the protest of the medic treating him, and asked him who caused all this and where they went.

"I…It was a giant metal monster, sir!" Yelled the soldier, the same one that Master Chief interrogated regarding Fernando's location. "He killed or wounded everyone here by himself. When it killed my squad, it all happened so fast. It was like it was a demon, sir. A demon." Hearing all that, caused Vernus to hum. Despite all the evidence that supported all this, Vernus found all this hard to believe. Even more so when it was clear to Vernus that the boy was in a state of panic and shock, deteriorating his common sense and memories.

Despite this base's claims of finding advanced technology, he highly doubted they found such tech that advanced that enabled a single metal monster, according to the soldier, to wipe out dozens of Zeon soldiers, despite their lack of experience. Even the supposed Project V and the rumors surrounding it wouldn't have provided such technology.

What more likely happened was that an Earth Federation commando team attacked them and retrieved what technology they acquired from where they got it from. Such teams were uncommon, but not unheard of as the Earth Federation does have a few Special Forces squads in their employ. And if the advanced technology this base acquired was indeed as advanced as they claimed, even half as much, then it stands to reason why the Earth Federation would want it kept out of Zeon hands. Believing that over the soldier's ridiculous claims of a giant metal monster responsible for all this, Vernus asked where it was heading.

"The thing interrogated me, and I was forced to tell it about the nearby refugee camp, sir, along with the prisoners we had. That's all I know, sir. I swear." Said the soldier as he tried to remember. Upon hearing that, Vernus hummed at this information before asking the soldier where the refugee camp was.

Meanwhile

Master Chief

Minding his own business, Chief was silently watching as Doctor Stone was patching the unknown woman. All the while, the rest of the refugees were watching the two man, mainly Master Chief, given his appearance and his height. The reactions depended on the age of the individual. For the children, it was in awe at the sci-fi like armor that he was wearing. For the adults, it was fear that he was going to bring unwanted attention from either the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. Neither of which the refugees really needed right now. As the Doctor did his job in patching the woman, Joy suddenly spoke to Chief in secret.

"Chief, this probably isn't the best of times, but she's not human." Said Joy before providing the evidence to Chief via several holographic screens regarding their mysterious woman. "I didn't do it before because I was focused on seeing what was injured, but during the ride here, I used your suit's scanners to perform a deep scan on her and I found out that she may appear human like, but she actually a bit different. Look at these tests. Her DNA and blood type may be similar to humans, but there's several key differences that differentiate her from the base line human. And then there's this." Joy then showed an X-ray scan of the woman's body, revealing that there was an additional organ attached to her heart that's not found in a normal human body. "That's not something that is typically found in humans. From what I've seen with the scans, it seems to be a natural part of her. I don't what it's function suppose to be though." Upon hearing all that, Chief nodded at all that as he processed this information. That information, combined with her pale skin and knife-shaped ears, proved that she was an alien species. An unknown alien species. Though some would be ecstatic in meeting a new alien species, Master Chief was wary and cautious. Given humanities experience with alien species, he had every right to be suspicious of a new alien species, especially one so humanlike. If she wasn't hostile, he'll be alright with her. If she was, then she'll die. Plain and simple. As he was thinking up of ways to be cautious around this woman, Fernando suddenly showed up with a sigh of relief. Seeing the Spartan, the civilian pilot made his way towards the Spartan and was about to speak when Stone spoke up.

"Alright, I'm finished." Said Stone as he finished applying the remaining bandages to the woman. "She's still unconscious, but she should regain consciousness soon." Stone then turned to face Master Chief. "Now, with her life no longer in danger, can you please explain to me what you are and what are you doing here?" Seeing that he now must uphold his end of the bargain, Master Chief spoke up.

"117 of the UNSC." Said the Master Chief as he looked at Stone, who was stunned at what he just heard. He wasn't familiar with military ranks and jargon, but he was sure that there was no such thing as a UNSC. In either the Earth Federation military or the Principality of Zeon military. When Stone asked him to clarify what the UNSC was, Chief knew that he was in some sort of alternative reality, where the UNSC didn't exist. Needing more information, Chief quickly told Stone that it was a secretive organization that owed allegiance to anyone but themselves. A half-truth, but would suffice for now.

"I…I see." Said Stone as he looked at the Master Chief. "I admit I'm skeptical about the truth of all that, but given the armor that you're wearing is nothing like I've seen in either the Earth Federation or the Principality of Zeon so far, so I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt." Taking a breath, Stone asked what he was doing out here. Chief, seeing that Stone took what he said as the truth, complied.

"Our ship took heavy damage and was taken in by the nearby military base here." Explained Chief. "We escaped, but this woman was someone we found along the way, badly beaten by the occupants of that base. We couldn't abandon her, so we stopped here."

"I see." Said Stone as he looked at the woman, sleeping soundly now that her life wasn't in danger. "I would say that you did the right thing to bring her here, but I fear that you unknowingly lead to the endangerment of this entire camp. The base here is a Principality of Zeon base in the mountains. It's relatively understaffed and equipped, but it's equipped enough that they can do serious damage to this refugee camp. If you escaped from there and you're found here, then we're in serious trouble. We don't have any soldiers living amongst us that can protect us from their retaliation. If they come here in force, we're all dead. So, what I'm saying is, since you brought potential danger to us, can you…" Stone couldn't finish what he said when Fernando spoke up.

"We'll help." Said Fernando, surprising Stone with how quickly they accepted. "If these Zeons come, we'll help you in dealing with them. After all, we brought them here to you guys and we don't want you all to suffer because of us. Right, Chief?" Fernando then turned to Master Chief, who just looked at Fernando before nodding. Seeing that, he looked back at Stone, awaiting his answer. Stone was about to reply when the they all heard a groan.

Looking at the woman that Chief brought in, the three watched as she stirred awake.

"Ugh, my head." Said the woman as she slowly opened her eyes, revealing them to be mint green, and held her head. Sitting up from her bed, the woman looked at Chief and instantly made a squeak of surprise.

"What are you!?" Demanded the woman as she pointed at Master Chief, who just stayed silent as she became more aware of her surroundings.

"Explanations later." Said Master Chief before getting up. "For now, we have a refugee camp to save. If you want to help, follow me. If not, then stay behind and keep an eye on everyone. I feel they need all the support they can get." Before the woman could comprehend all this, Chief told Fernando to get the Pelican ready. He already had a plan in mind.

Later

Vernus

"Sir, we found the refugee camp." Said the pilot of the Gaw attack carrier as Vernus waited patiently in the cockpit of the Gaw. Upon hearing that, Vernus spoke up.

"Excellent, prepare the men. We're dropping in with the Dodai YS transport." Said Vernus. "Even though we may not need it against these refugees, have the Gaw on standby to provide fire support. If anything, it'll put them into submission once they see that a Gaw is on top of their heads, ready to open fire on them."

"Understood, sir." Said the pilot as Vernus left for the hanger bay, where the Dodai YS was. In a few minutes, over a dozen and half men were assembled in one of the Gaw's hangers, specifically the one that held their Dodai YS. After everyone entered the transport, they took off from the Gaw and began to fly towards the refugee camp. In another few minutes, most of which were spent finding enough space for them to land the Dodai YS was rather large, they landed in the refugee camp and began to get out of their ship. As they did so, the refugees gathered around their transport. A few of them baring hostile looks against the Zeon soldiers. This was on account of many of them losing a loved one or two to the Principality of Zeon's war with the Earth Federation along with their homes. So, needless to say, none of them were happy to see the Principality of Zeon soldiers in the refugee camp.

That being said, they couldn't do anything to them on account of them being unarmed compared to the armed Zeon soldiers that were coming out of their transport. As Vernus came out of the Dodai, he saw the group of refugees surrounding him and his men. Giving a slight chuckle at the group of refugees that surrounded him, Vernus spoke up.

"Attention, refugees, we're here because a handful of prisoners escaped from our local military base." Said Vernus as he addressed the crowd. "They've killed dozens of personnel from the base and were reported to be heading here. We're here to enact justice for our fallen comrades and bring these prisoners back. So, if they have ventured here, can you please tell us? You'd be doing Zeon a favor for doing so." Upon hearing that, many of the refugees hardened their glare at the Zeon soldiers. Realizing this, Vernus tried to appease them with rewards. "If you do this, I'll convince the local base to give you some of their food and medicine. It seems like you all need such necessities, given how large this camp is." A few refugees looked enticed by his offer, but the majority still held firm in glaring at Vernus and his men. One refugee, a kid, even had the gall to throw a pebble at Vernus. It didn't hit the man, the kid didn't have much strength to throw it far, but it was enough to catch Vernus' attention.

"Give back my parents!" Yelled the kid before an adult grabbed him and carried him away. Vernus heard a few of his men snicker at this and felt his mouth twitch. He'll have to discipline them later, for now, he had prisoners to find. Having little patients, Vernus spoke up.

"If none of you are willing to comply, I'm afraid that I have to search this entire place in force to find evidence of our escaped prisoners being here." Said Vernus, causing a few gasps to come from the refugees. "I'm sorry, but those prisoners are a menace to Zeon and because you all refuse to cooperate, I have to do this. I assure you, that my men will be gentle with whatever valuables you have left in your possession, nor will they steal anything from you all. You've all been through so much, there's no need to add any more to your list of grievances. Of course, if we find evidence that you helped these prisoners and refused to help us in locating them, then the consequences for your actions will be severe." That caused a few refugees to look nervous as the Zeon soldiers pointed their guns at them. Seeing this, Vernus tried to convince them yet again to help them. "You don't owe these prisoners anything. All they're going to do is bring you misery and suffering if you don't cooperate with us. So, for the sake of your remaining loved ones and yourselves, I recommend complying with our wishes." As people were starting to come toward helping the Zeon soldiers, a man suddenly spoke up.

"This is one of them!" Yelled a man before a middle-aged woman was pushed towards the Zeon soldiers. A woman that matched the description provided to Vernus by the base's surviving personnel.

Knife-shaped ears with long, straight, indigo-shaped hair that went poofy at the lower end of it, the woman was on the ground and on her knees when she looked at Vernus. Eyeing her mint green eyes with a raised eyebrow, Vernus spoke to the refugees.

"You see. Simple cooperation and we all get what we want. Perhaps more." Said Vernus before ordering two soldiers to grab the woman. As the two men were on top of the woman and about to restrain her, something stumbled into the crowd of Zeon soldiers. Vernus, the only one to notice it, realized what it was and tried to get away, but it was too late.

The object turned out to be a grenade, which the Zeon soldiers learned when it exploded amidst them and killed most of them and wounding the rest besides the two that were about to restrain the knife-eared woman. As everyone was stunned into submission on this, one of the other prisoners that the Zeons were after appeared from behind the Dodai YS, specifically the green metal monster that Vernus had dismissed as being a green, shocked soldier's imagination.

Having hidden in the forest upon making his plan, Chief had been slowly making his way towards the landed Dodai as Vernus was talking. Upon getting close enough to the ship without drawing attention, Chief tossed a grenade at the group of Zeon soldiers before making his way towards the pilots of the ship in order to prevent them from telling their mothership about what he just did.

Grappling over the Dodai YS, Master Chief landed near the cockpit, where two Zeon pilots were shocked at his sudden appearance, preventing them from calling the Gaw and informing them about what happened. Before they could do anything, Chief quickly shot them with a few quick bursts with his assault rifle. Being loaded up with Full Metal Jacket rounds, the assault rifle rounds broke through the glass window of the Dodai and killed the pilots. Right after this happened, Chief quickly turned around and killed the survivors of his grenade, which were the two soldiers that were attempting to capture the woman that he saved. Killing them with quick headshots with his sidearm, Master Chief then looked at the Gaw attack carrier that was hovering over the refugee camp. Though he wiped out the Zeon troops quickly before they could inform the Gaw of what was going on, Chief knew that it was only a matter of time before the airship realized what happened on the ground and retaliate. Thus, he needed to take out the airship quickly before they could open fire on the refugee camp. Fortunately, he had just the way to get up there.

Speaking of that way, Echo-216 came out of the trees and flew above Chief, who then grappled his way onboard. Once he was secured on the Pelican, Fernando flew it straight to the Gaw attack carrier. As it did so, the woman that the Zeons tried to capture frowned in frustration that she couldn't do anything but being a tool to be thrown around and discarded when it was deemed worthless. Though, given her life choices, she shouldn't be too upset over how she was used.

Meanwhile, Chief was informing Fernando to fly below the Gaw so they don't deal with enemy fire, but in a way to avoid stray weapon fire from hitting the refugee camp. Following the instructions of the Master Chief, Fernando flew below the Gaw as it primed its weapons. Charging its Mega-particle cannons, the Gaw targeted the Pelican and began to fire on it.

"Holy shit!" Yelled Fernando as he began evasive maneuvers. Dodging the first wave of yellow streams of energy coming at the Pelican, Fernando kept doing those evasive maneuvers while informing Chief what to do.

"Keep flying under the transport. Once we pass the ship, go directly above it." Said Chief as he grabbed a few more weapons from the Pelican. After swearing a bit in Spanish, Fernando did what Chief instructed and flew the Pelican below the Gaw after it fired a second barrage of Mega Particle beams at them. After the second barrage, the Gaw couldn't fire anything else at it because all of the Gaw's armaments were mounted in fixed positions at the front of the ship, meaning it can't attack anywhere from its bottom or rear, which the Pelican took advantage of. "Chief, I'm placing you just in front of the ship's rear tail stabilizer. Any closer and I'm risking getting hit with a point-blank attack from this ship's cannons." Said Fernando.

"That'll do." Said Master Chief as he opened the Pelican's hangers. "Keep that the enemy airship distracted for a few more seconds, I don't want it firing on the refugee camp." With that, Master Chief jumped off the Pelican and straight towards the Gaw attack carrier. Landing on top of the Gaw, Chief watched as Fernando flew the Pelican away to try and distract the Gaw a few more seconds. With that done, Chief began making his way to the cockpit, which Joy spotted on the way to the Gaw. As his armored suit magnetized itself to the Gaw's outer armor to prevent him from being thrown off via winds or unexpected changes in direction from the pilots, Chief ran towards the Gaw cockpit, assault rifle in hand.

Stopping inches from the cockpit, which was surrounded by thick red metal, Chief looked at the yellow glass of the cockpit before priming a grenade. Waiting a few seconds, he tossed it inside the cockpit, breaking the glass and panicking the pilots as the glass that protected the cockpit broke and something came inside the cockpit. Before any of the pilots could do anything against the grenade, it went off and let loose a flash of blind light that blinded all the pilots. This gave Chief the ability to enter the ship without issue. Breaking into the cockpit, Chief quickly killed the pilots before looking at their controls. Taking a note of just how primitive the controls are, they had a steering wheel for crying out loud, Chief asked Joy if she can enter the ship's systems.

"Uh…I don't think so." Said Joy as she looked at the controls of the Gaw. "This ship seemed to be entirely dependent on a human pilot driving it. Plus, these systems are so primitive and archaic, I don't think I can hack into it without causing a major power overlord because of my subroutines. If I can find a way to even transfer to the ship, given how outdated this all looks and seems." Hearing that, Chief gave a nod and decided to do things the old fashion way. If he can't hack into the ship, he's going to crash it. By manually steering it towards a nearby mountain.

Taking over the steering wheel of the ship, something that Chief found archaic as modern human ships, to his knowledge, used computer controls to drive their ships, even old merchant vessels, he piloted the Gaw towards a nearby mountain. Setting it on a collision course that'll disable the ship if it crashed into it. Once that was done, he began shooting at the flight controls and also ripped the steering wheel out of its socket, preventing anyone from undoing what he just did.

"Great! Now, are we going to escape through hijacking an aircraft or by jumping off?" Asked Joy as Chief threw the steering wheel out the window.

"Fernando, we need a quick evac. Have the Pelican fly below this ship." Said Chief.

"Wait, what! Oh no, don't tell you are…" Before Fernando can finish, Chief jumped out of the Gaw and went straight down to the surface. Swearing again, Fernando flew after the Spartan as he continued to fall to the surface. "Crazy bastard."

Meanwhile

While Chief was fighting against the Zeon forces, a lone blue, red, and white fighter was making its way towards the refugee camp that Chief was protecting. Its sole occupant was brimming with anticipation at meeting the sole person that he knows in that entire refugee camp. His mother.

Wearing an Earth Federation cadet uniform, the male version to be exact, the boy was a young, teenage boy that was a bit too young to be piloting the fighter, much less be part of any military organization. His brown hair wasn't also up to military regulations either, allowing it to grow past military regulations. His brown eyes, however, told a different story.

His eyes were hardened in a way that only war can bring. Yet, beneath that hardiness was a naivety that only youth can bring. And it was that naivety that made him go to his mother along with the basic human need of being with their blood family. And it was that mother that he was going to now.

Yes, unlike him and his father, she stayed on Earth, rather than go to the Space Colonies. He missed her, of course, and with his father dead because of the war, he hoped to find his last remaining parent on Earth. For what? Well, to see if she was still alive and if they could still be a part of the family now that his father was gone.

As he piloted his fighter to the refugee camp that his former neighbor told him that his mother worked in, he saw, to his shock, a Gaw attack carrier moving away from the refugee camp and straight into a mountain. Stunned at seeing a Gaw attack carrier out in the middle of nowhere, the boy then saw a large transport flying away from the Gaw. A ship that he had never saw before. Stunned at seeing such a large transport and of a different design to Zeon ones no less, the boy watched as the massive plane-like transport made its way towards the refugee camp. As he watched the plane make its way to the refugee camp, the boy wondered what to do.

On one hand, his mind panicked at seeing the plane going straight towards the refugee camp, thinking it was making an attack run on it and that it was full of Zeon soldiers, but on the other hand, he was utterly confused with the Gaw. Why was it on a collision course with the mountain? Did someone board it and sabotage it? If so, how was that possible against a group of unarmed refugees? As he thought things through, he saw the plane fly close to the refugee camp and he was close to opening fire on it when he realized it was just landed there. Soon, he watched its occupant came out. Seeing all this and realizing that attacking would now just endanger the refugee camp, the boy realized that he can't do anything against the occupants of that transport. Not unless he wanted to harm the refugees too and, considering his mother was among them, he didn't want to risk that. Wondering what to do, he then saw a group of refugees surrounding the occupants of that transport and were…cheering them on?

Flying closer, the boy saw the crowd was cheering the pilots of that plane as if they were happy that they were there. He then noticed that neither men were wearing the standard Zeon attire. Rather one of them wore some suit of armor that looked like it came straight out of a comic book and the other wore some pilot suit that he never seen before. Realizing that these men weren't from Zeon and that they helped defend the refugee camp, the boy began landing his fighter in the camp, where he received a few people coming at him, this time with weary expressions. He was about to speak when one of them suddenly spoke up.

"Nice of you to join us, sonny, but can you hide your vehicle somewhere?" Asked an old man before explaining his reasoning.

Meanwhile

Master Chief

"Chief, I guess that all show that you still can do work, even if it's against humans." Said Fernando with a small smile as he watched kids cheer all around them. Even he was getting a bit of fanfare from the kids, even though he didn't do much. "Man, can't believe the cheering we're getting. Guess they really hate those Zeons, huh?" Ignoring the cheering around him, Master Chief just spoke to Fernando.

"We did what we had to do in order to protect these people." Said Master Chief. "They helped us. We helped them from any retaliation from these Zeon soldiers. After all, we brought them here with our actions. Its only fair that we protect them after they helped us." Fernando was about to agree to that when he suddenly heard a woman cough. The two men then turned around to see the indigo-haired lady before walking up to them. The same one that nearly got arrested by the Zeon soldiers and Master Chief was forced to save because one of the refugees attempted to give her up. Clearing her throat, the woman spoke up.

"As much as all this is…nice." Said the woman in a deep, mature voice as she looked at the bunch of kids that were surrounding Chief's legs, cheering about how he saved them from the evil Zeons, with various adults around him. "I have to ask…where the heck am I!?" Her sudden yelling caused people to look at her in shock as they took a step back from her. Chief, however, stood firm as she started to talk again, eyes wide with panic. "I was just minding my own business when I stumbled upon an odd-looking trinket and the next thing I know I'm being assaulted by humans wearing the same uniforms as those that tried to arrest me. So please, can someone explain to me where I am so I can go home." Hearing all that, Chief was about to respond when he suddenly heard the yelling of a young boy.

"Mom!" Yelled someone, causing the two to look as a brown-haired boy in a blue uniform run-up to a woman with similar brown hair in a pink dress. As the two embraced each other, Chief looked at the woman, who was starting to get angry that she was getting ignored, before speaking.

"We'll talk in the ship." Said Chief simply before going inside the Pelican. Hearing this, the woman was about to protest when Chief motioned her to get inside. Growling in frustration, the woman complied with the Master Chief and followed him inside with Fernando following soon. Once they were all in and Fernando closed the rear hatch of the Pelican so that no one can eavesdrop, Chief spoke up.

"We're in an alternative universe." Said Chief simply as the woman was about to speak up in anger and frustration. His blunt statement caused the woman to widen her own eyes in shock and disbelief as well as causing her mouth to fall to the ground. At first, the woman thought the soldier was joking to her. That he was just yanking her chain, but she soon realized that he was telling the truth. The stance of the soldier and the serious expression on his cohort solidified that. As she processed all this, she eventually screamed.

"What do you mean an alternative universe?" Yelled the woman, causing Fernando to back away from her as she started to hyperventilate. Seeing this, Chief walked over to her and held her arms to hold her in place.

"Take a deep breath." Said Chief as he forced the woman to look at him. Seeing the Spartan's golden visor, the woman did what he instructed. Taking a few deep breaths, the woman forced herself to calm down as the Spartan held her in place. After the fifth breath, she calmed down enough that the Spartan spoke again. "First off, what's your name? We can't help you if we don't know your name."

"M-my name?" Asked the woman dumbly as she started at the Spartan's golden visor, fascinated with its shine and material composition. When Chief nodded, the woman responded. "It… its Lilith. Lilith Clawthorne." Upon hearing that name and seeing her calm down, Chief let go of her and ordered her to follow him before opening the Pelican's rear hatch. After making sure she was following him, Chief led her to a metal shack, which coincidentally was the same one that the boy and woman in the pink dress were in. As she was following the massive man in green armor, Lilith had only one thought.

"Just what have I been dragged into?" Thought Lilith Clawthorne as she was led into the metal shack with Fernando close behind, who was also wondering the same thing.

In case people didn't get it, the woman is Lilith Clawthorne from Owl House from Disney Plus. She's here because…well my friend is a romantic and shipper (I think you all know where this is going.). Fortunately, I already know what I want from her beyond that stuff (And by that go beyond just shipping material). Plus, its going to be amusing seeing her react to both Halo and Gundam lore.
