Authors note: ok everyone this is now my second story on the site. And officially the very first Halo and One Piece crossover on the site. And for those of you who have been waiting for one your welcome. Joking aside I would like to say that this story will focus heavily on two OC's so if that bothers anyone, well to bad. This first chapter really won't have any One Piece elements in it primarily because this is to set up the story. It wouldn't make sense if i didn't do this chapter. I will attempt to update the story at least once a month. Oh and before I forget this takes place after the events in Halo 5 so spoiler warning.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or Halo.

Alarms blared in the bridge of The Infinity. Chaos had broken out within the ship people running back and forth trying to keep humanity's most advanced ship functional. "Sir the Guardian has spotted us" The ship's AI informed the captain.

"I can see that Roland" captain Laskey spoke as another EMP Rocked the ship. "How are our shields holding up?!"

"That last pulse took our shields down to 67% we can't take much more of this." Laskey growled at the blow to their defenses.

"Roland tell me we got Chief and The Arbiter?"

" Yes sir we got the spartans off Sanghelios as well as the Arbiter and some of his men."

"That's the only good news I've gotten all day." he muttered to himself then asked "What's there ETA Roland?"

"It'll be another ten minutes before they reach the Infinity At this rate the ship won't last that long" Another EMP tore through the ship several systems shut off before powering back up. "That just dropped our shields to 35% sir."

Laskey pounded his fist onto the display. "I want all the power we can spare put into the shields ASAP we need to out last this thing." He looked at the metal monstrosity attacking them. Even the Infinty couldn't stand up to the forerunner war machine for long. Their only saving grace was that it was trying to cripple them and not destroy them if it was they would be dead already.

"Roland! How much longer can our shields hold out?"

"5 maybe 6 minutes tops it'll barely be enough time for the them to get aboard."

"That'll have to work prep the slipspace engine we'll need to make a blind jump as soon as they're on board."

Cortana's voice suddenly echoed over the intercom. In an exceedingly calm tone she said "You can't hide from me soon you will be unable to do a thing. And John will see the perfect world I intend to build"

Another pulse slammed into their shields. Causing the entire ship to shake. "Shields down to 17% sir one more hit and the ship is dead."

"Are they on board yet?"

"Yes they just landed in the hangar."

"Than get us out of here before they shoot us down."

The ship turned and began flying away from the Guardian the familiar void of slipspace appearing in front of them. As they accelerated through the portal they heard a distressed scream came from the intercoms. "NO! You can't take him away from me" The Guardian charged a massive laser before firing at the fleeing ship. The weapon tore through the Infinity's remaining shields and obliterated the primary engines. The Infinity was sent hurtling into the rift.

"Shit! Roland! Damage report now!"

"That last attack rendered most of our systems useless and completely destroyed our engines. To make things worse we are now hurtling through slipspace completely helpless. Until the Slipspace drive can be brought back online we'll be stuck here."

"How long do you think that will take."

"I already have Halsey and our best men working on it shouldn't be more than an hour. Though when it does come back online there is no telling where we'll exit at."

"Which means we could end up in another forerunner installation for all we know." Laskey finished for the AI "Cortana and her Guardians would be on us in seconds if that were the case." Laskey looked at the black void out the viewport. He sighed he was running out of options. " Roland get Blue team and Osiris up here as soon as possible. They need to know about our predicament." He seemed to consider something for a brief moment before making another request. " Have the Arbiter meet me in my office I need to discuss our options with him."

Roland replied "right away sir"

Laskey nodded and exited the command center.

" Hey V you in there." The 8 foot Sangheili growled as his peaceful mood was disturbed. His mandibles flared out slightly in annoyance.

"Yes I'm in here Alex though must you insist on calling me that."The door to the room opened revealing a six foot ODST standing in the doorway decked out in his black combat armor while holding his helmet by his side.

"But of course my dear friend V is so much easier to pronounce than Vykan after all."

"When we first met you only called me that because you couldn't say Vykan Rafamai: my actual name. Now you insist on calling me that because it irritates me" he replied dryly. While turning back to his work on his blade.

Alex waved off the comment and made a rather sarcastic remark of his own. "Oh Vykan! I would never do such a thing." The two shared a short laugh before moving on to a more serious subject. Alex seemed to turn serious which was a drastic contradiction to his usual carefree attitude. "Anyway I came down to tell you that the ship will be stuck in slipspace for the time being. At least until they can fix the drive."

Vykan turned to his friend " I'm going to assume that that is the least of our worries. Based on your expression."

Alex snorted "You could say that again that last attack rendered the engines useless. And Roland estimates that depending on where we drop out it could take anywhere from a year to several years of repairs and that's just if we don't land in the middle of a forerunner stronghold."

The two looked distressed at the news. Alex eventually shook himself out of it before addressing Vykan once again. "Anyway that's all I came down here for I knew you wouldn't hear the announcement down in the cargo hold." A teasing smile took its place on his face. "Honestly do you have to come down here sulk every time we lose a fight. Why don't you come up and socialize with us instead."

The Sangheili's equivalent of a smile appeared on his friends face. " and why would i do that when i have all of the crates down here to keep me company." The solemn mood now broken the two friends continued to converse about trivial things for the remainder of their time in the belly of the ship.

Laskey stood by the holographic table analyzing the broken model of his ship. Thel stood by his side ready to give his input on the situation if need be. The massive alien stood in his regal golden armor looking at the ship as well contemplating their limited options. He glanced over at the Human captain observing the look of desperation that both leaders were beginning to feel. "Captain I believe that the only safe option for us is to remain in slipspace." Laskey glanced over at the alien

"That may be true Arbiter but you know as well as i do that if we do remain here we won't be able to do anything. To make things worse we will eventually run out of supplies and be forced to drop out."

Thel looked down at the display once more. "Though I am loath to admit it Laskey our only option is to drop out of slipspace. I hang onto the hope that we will find a suitable place for repairs. Though it is much more likely we will be captured by the guardians. Living under those machines is not a fate I would wish on anyone of my friends on this ship." Laskey nodded considering The Arbiters words. Then looked up as Commander Palmer approached them.

"You need something Commander."

"I was sent to tell you that the slipspace drive is in good enough condition to get us back into regular space. However doing so will cripple it even more because we don't have the necessary supplies to repair it on board. We'll be truly stuck wherever we land without the engines or the drive." She stood at attention in front of the captain waiting for his response.

Laskey looked around at the people in the small meeting room. Finally he decided to dismiss everyone with the exception of The Arbiter and the Spartan standing across from him. " This doesn't leave this room you two need to understand we are in a very precarious situation if the crew learns of what i'm about to say than there would be chaos. That includes you Roland."

The orange avatar of the AI appeared on the holotable with a somewhat hurt expression. "Sir you know I would never do anything so reckless especially not in our current situation."

"I know I just had to be sure." he said with a stressed look on his face. " Can you please get Chief up here he needs to hear this to."

" I'll call for him right now Captain." Roland replied

After several minutes of waiting the four occupants of the room where joined by a fifth. The Chief walked in with his signature green armor and now cracked orange visor. "You called for me Sir?" he said in his deep raspy voice.

"Thank you for coming John. I appreciate you taking the time after all that you have been through over the past couple weeks." The chief stayed silent after being addressed. The Captain sighed. "Can you please take off the helmet John I need to say this to your face." He hesitated slightly before reluctantly reaching up and removing his helmet. Revealing his aging face and blue eyes that spoke of years of experience.

After setting his helmet down he looked at the captain expectantly. "John just as I told everyone here what I am about to say does not leave this room is that clear." A nod from the stoic man was all the answer Laskey needed. "Ok as you all know we can now exit slipspace if we so desired but in truth our dilemma is far more complex than that. As i'm sure most of the crew has realised by now." He tapped on the holotable and brought up a 3d model of the Infinity. "The model we were looking at before was downgrading the damage. This is the actual condition our ship is in." The model he showed revealed that all of the main engines had been ripped off by the attack. Leaving a gaping hol
