(Author's Note)

Hey guys, sorry about the wait. I had work related things to deal with…

I've never seen someone swallow so many forks!

And to that one guy… That was not eating. I've seen eating. What you did in there was pure chaos.

I'm just fooling around with those last two things. But I've been busy none the less.

Anyways, so this idea came to me a couple of minutes ago so I decided to try writing this chapter out and get some responses from some of my good Fanfiction Authors.

Onto the story!

A cold sweat was falling down my face, my hands mimicking this.

I sat next to 3 of my good friends as we stared into the TV screen that lay in front of us.

"We need 5 more kills to win this, let's show the world what we're made of." I said, tilting my head at my teammates.

"...BREAK!"

Our characters each ran out of our cover, we split up into two and took down some of the opposition.

"Guys, I'm surrounded!" One of our members yelled.

I quickly clambered up a ledge and dashed to the left, my reticle landing right on the guys head.

I pulled the trigger on my controller, the vibration of the shot went off as the enemies' shield fell and the bullet took him down.

The blue team wins logo popped up as our team jumped up in victory. I was flabbergasted, we had won.

(3 months later…)

It's been 3 months since that day… We had won the Halo world championships and OC (Original Champions) had it's last match together.

After the event me and my team parted ways, each moving on to something different. I stayed with Halo whilst the others…

I'm getting off track. Today was the day we're going to group up and meet each other again.

I was standing in my cosplay, my armour was that off my Spartan IV. Raider helmet and Recon armour.

In my hand was a Red M6 magnum. Of course, it was the BoomCO one since weapons are a touchy subject at E3…

"If it isn't 0n3dge…" I heard a voice say.

"Nice to see you too G1." I said, turning to the man in armour from what I believed to be destiny.

"...Same…" Was his answer.

The silence between us lasted for a second before scratching as we both bursted into laughter.

"Oh… Steven it is good to see you…" I said.

"Same to you Bryce… How's things been?" G1 asked.

I scratched the back of my head… or would of if my 3d printed Raider helmet wasn't in the way.

"Nothing much, tried getting a job."

"Cool." Was his response. "What did you get?"

"Key word: Tried. I think I'm going to go back to acting." I said.

"Ah…"

"What's been new for you?" I asked.

"Can't really say that anything's really happened…" Said G1.

"Guess that makes 4 of us then." A new voice rings out.

"Acallaris? And Tehg? Glad you could make it." Said G1.

"I wouldn't miss this thing for anything." Said Acallaris.

"Same goes for me as well, good to see you guys." Said Tehg.

"Same goes for me and Bryce Tamazaki." Said G1.

"Well hey, when you don't see each other for 2 and a half months that's bound to happen." Said Tamazaki.

"So what's new with you guys?" I asked, leaning back.

"Tamazaki… kinda got expelled from his school." Said Tehg.

"Wait… How the HELL did that happen?" Asked G1.

"I swore I didn't do it! What purpose would I of had for flooding the girls locker room!?" Tamazaki exclaimed.

"Whilst I… kinda don't have anything else happening." Said Tehg.

"So Tam is the only one with something new happening eh?" I asked.

"Stop being canadian for a second, would yah?" Asked G1.

"Alright fine… if that's the case, YOU be less american." I said, pointing at G1.

"And they're at it again… *SIGH* how are those two friends again?" Asked Tehg.

"The same way we all are." Said Tamazaki.

After some much needed snacks and activities (Pocky counts god dammit!), We had reached the end of the convention.

"So this is it eh?" Asked G1.

"We'll see each other again." Said Tamazaki.

"Hey guys, random thought… how would traveling dimensions feel like?" Asked Tehg.

"Not sure, I mean *Heh* It's not like we're going to end up traveling to a different dimension and be away from each other for a bit." I said.

"...Why do you feel like you jinxed us?" Asked G1.

"Look the chances of that happening are as slim as me getting a lazy girl by day and a dominatrix by night as a girlfriend." I said.

(EPIC FORESHADOWING!)

"Whatever… Good to see you all again." Said G1 "Until next time."

We said our goodbyes and headed off. As I got onto the plane back to ontario, the memory of our first meeting played in my head…

(7 Months Ago…)

"So wait… You're 15…" Said G1.

"Yeah…" Was my response.

"And the rest of us are like… what? 17-18?" He asked.

"That's right…" Said Tamazaki.

"Are you going somewhere with this or…?" Asked Tehg.

"Nope!"

"God dammit G1…" I said.

"Well look who it is." Said a voice.

"Ah… generic villain #42. Always a pleasure." I said.

"My name is ***** Off Edge." Said Generic Villain #42.

"It's 0n3dge." Said G1.

"Cram it G2, this is going to be our tournament to win, so back off you sh*ts." Said Generic Henchman #778325878

"Hey look, it's just a tournament. No need for all the hostility." Said Tehg.

"Says the guy who aims like the state of S**** 06." Said Generic Henchman #778325878

"Oh you son of a-!"

"Tehg, calm down. We'll let the tournament decide." Said Tamazaki.

We crushed them. It was literally a joke. And I distinctly remember Tehg using every opportunity to teabag EVERY SINGLE ONE of the enemy team.

Needless to say, that was the day we met, and the day we learned to never damage Tehg's pride.

(Fast Forward to present Day)

"Look, all I'm saying is… Why do I even bother." Said my childhood friend.

"Aeca, you know VERY well why." I said, smugly.

"Yeah yeah…" Aeca said. "Just… Stop being so… over confident."

"You're just jelly since I'm better at halo than you now." I said, smirking.

"2 things. First: Really? Jelly? Second: I could still destroy you one on one." Said Aeca.

"That was only because of B*llsh*t Power weapons." I said.

"Yeah yeah…" Said Aeca.

I sighed and rested a hand on my chin.

"I gotta go." I said, getting up.

"See yah." Said Aeca as I walked off into the 2nd parking lot at the back of the school.

Aeca has been my best friend since 1st grade. He ended up moving during the fifth, and SOMEHOW ended up back here close enough to go to the same school I do.

He was also the one who introduced Halo to me. And I swear, not a day goes by when I don't think about the missed times we had.

"This world has been connected…." A voice echoed across the parking lot.

I looked up to see the entire area in a monochrome shade.

"Tied to the darkness…"

I turned to see a man in a black cloak. His face a black void.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

"My name is of no importance." He said.

"Then can you stop with the Kingdom Hearts lines?" I asked.

"No."

"Eh, worth a shot."

"You are a threat to the mission, I must complete the mission." Said the guy as his left hand emerged from the cloak… or lack thereof… sorta.

"You will be… Eliminated." He said, his left eye glowing red. His left hand was skeletal, no flesh at all, it then ignited into purple flames.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed.

"DIE!" He exclaimed.

He extended his hand as multiple shots of purple flames raced at me.

"Oh sh*t!" I exclaimed, raising my hands instinctively.

…

…

…

"Huh!?"

I lowered my hand to see me encased in a column of cyan Fire.

"NO!" The man yelled, firing beams of purple fire at me.

However, the cyan fire just absorbed it, before firing it back at the man.

He just looked at me before... disappearing. Still not sure what exactly happened.

"What the-!?" I exclaimed.

The floor under me opened up as I started sinking into something that felt like quicksand.

"OH SH********T!" I exclaimed as my head went under and I started riding this tunnel like a water slide.

And then a light appeared and swallowed me whole.

That marks the beginning of What If…? Hope you guys enjoyed, and hope to see you all again later.

So until then…
