This day could've gone better for Izuku. He could have not been discovered. Ace could have not gotten caught in the Covenants systems. There could not be a Wraith tank and several Elites chasing him along with an army of Grunts.

But nooooo, that would've been to easy for him.

So he ran even faster than he currently was. His large set of Mjolnir MK V barely weighing him down. Thankfully this was the prototype armor and due to his insistence on heavier armor for more protection he could fit a more powerful shield generator. It didn't hurt that the other nub on his back was an extra fusion reactor that powered both his shields and Spartan laser. Making both more powerful than normal.

But he did also have the jetpack armor ability as well and he used it to expert use to jump up and fly onto a ledge just as a few lucky plasma shots dropped his shields.

The forerunner facility he was tasked with scouting had many nooks and crannies to fire from. So he grabbed his rifle and shouldered it. He let loose a precise burst that nailed a grunt that was getting a fuel off cannon. He quickly switched targets and killed another grunt with 2 bullets to the skull. He was able to down a third before they lit up his cover with plasma.

He ducked behind the forerunner metal and brought out a grenade. He pulled the pin and chucked it. His armor setting it's timer to explode a second after landing.

The resulting storm of shrapnel tore through several grunts and killed 2 elites. It dropped the shields on another four elites that quickly ducked behind the wraith.

It was then that the wraith fired it's mortar and lobbed the scorching hot ball of plasma at him. He definately wasn't gonna stuck around to find out if he would survive behind the alien metal.

He bolted from his position with a mighty push form his legs and push from his jetpack. He emptied the magazine into the small army shooting at him. They fired half at him with even more fury as another elite with damaged shields had a bullet enter it's skull. Following along with two more grunts.

He ran into another hallway and up a ramp that conducted the room to a higher level. He put in a new magazine into his rifle and racked it before setting it onto his back and pulling out his shotgun. The boomstick was ready to rock in a moment's notice.

Thankfully so because an elite ultra was waiting at the next level with an energy sword drawn. He aimed and fired at the charging alien. Causing massive damage to it's shields. He racked another slug but the alien had closed in.

"You will die for trespassing here demon!" It bellowed with an enraged voice.

He ducked quickly underneath the swung. The sword skimmed his shields and caused them to go down slightly. But he then shoulder checked the elite and made it stagger back.

He then fired into the alien again and made it's shields drop and shattered it's armor. He then racked and fired another shell that nearly cleaved it in 2. The ultra dropped to the ground in a pool of it's blood and entrails.

"Are you sure about that." He said with a cocky smirk. He reloaded the spent shells out of one of his ammo pouches. As he ran across a bridge made of solid blue light he reminisced on the day his life changed. He could still remember the day perfectly. Even though it was nearly ten years ago.

Earth, Japan

2386

"Go on you quirkless loser!" Screamed his once friend Kacchan.

7 year old Izuku Midoriya picked himself off the dirt that he was pushed in. Tears streaming down his eyes as he wiped his shorts and legs. His knees stinging from the fall.

Why did Kacchan have to he so mean? Sure he may be quirkless, but that didn't mean he finding be a hero... right? He had just as much passion and determination as everyone else. He wanted to be just like All Might!

But no one believes in him, not even his own mother said he could become a hero. She just apologized and held his crying form. She just couldn't see that encouragement was what he needed.

"What's the use. Not like I'll get excepted into UA anyway. After all, no one wants to hang out with the quirkless kid." He sighed out the last part.

He walked from the park and to the city. He just wanted to go home and fall asleep. Maybe his dreams would make him feel better.

Many people passed him by. Some were slightly concerned about the crying kid. But no one cared enough to stop and ask if he was alright.

That was when a birghtly colored blur passed by him. Izuku immediately perked his head up and looked at what it was. He smiled slightly when he saw it was a pro hero.

The hero in question was a less known one called Pack Attack. Costume wise he wore a simple white and blue leotard with a black belt and gold half mask. His quirk however was being able to create several smaller version of himself. They were only about a foot high but he used them to his advantage like a mini mob.

"Stop evil doer!" Pack Attack yelled at the villain he was chasing. He sent out two clones at the figure he was chasing. Which managed to wrap around their legs and stop them from running.

Izuku then got a good look at the villain. He could now see that it was a man in his early thirties. He wore a burgundy Victorian style coat over a black dress shirt. His legs were covered by black dress pants and he wore black dress shoes as well. He had a phantom of the opera mask over his face as well as a small and snug top hat.

The villain kicked one of the clones off of him and then kicked the other one straight in the face. Making it dissapear in a puff of smoke. He then turned to Pack Attack and smiled a wicked grin.

"You heroes are all the same aren't you. You think you can just beat us up and then we get thrown in jail. Well here's something that I'll let sit in your mind for the rest of your very short life." He then snapped his fingers and a twisting portal of deep crimson opened up next to him.

"Your to soft." He then brought us finger forward and the portal went sledding toward Pack Attack. The pro jumped out of the way of it. But the villain snapped his fingers again and summoned another portal.

Pack Attack had to use one of his clones to push him out of the way. He then also dodged the other portal that came back around. But it made him lose his balance and fall to the concrete.

But he then went out four clones at the villain. They bolted to him but the man simply dipped his hat and a crimson portal opened beneath him. He dropped through it and it swiftly closed behind him before the clones could get him.

He then opened it up just above Pack Attack and kicked the back of his head unit the concrete. Causing a sickening crack to echo out that caused Izuku to flinch.

The four clones then dived for the man, but he jumped back into one of his previous portals.

With a moment to rise, Pack Attack picked himself off the ground. Izuku gasped when he saw the heroes face.

His nose was badly broken and blood gushed out of it. He also had several bleeding cuts on his lower face. He probably had a good concussion as well.

The man then came out of a portal right in front of him and punched him right in the face. He then back handed him in the side of the head that sent him careening to the side.

Izuku looked at his clones that were still summoned. He saw them sitting there motionlessly.

They must only be able to move when he commands. If that's the case, then the villain has these advantage in this fight. He would just keep dodging and slipping into his portals to avoid strikes.

Izuku may only be 7, but he was an expert on heroes. He thought that maybe that would give him an edge to become one.

But where are the other heroes? Someone has to be around to help him!

The man then came out of a portal behind Pack Attack to dodge another strike. He then sweeper his leg. Causing him to call to the ground.

"Sorry, but your hero friends won't be coming to save you. Their quite busy with my other associates."

He then picked the hero up by his black hair. He brought him up to eye level so he could speak on equal ground. Showing a surprising amount of strength.

It was only now that Izuku found see the strong muscles hidden under the large coat.

Izuku knew he had to do something. Otherwise the villain might...might...kill him.

He glanced around for a moment before he saw exactly what he needed.

The villain stared into pack attacks eyes. The heroes head hurt to much to control his clones. And he knew now that the villain was surprisingly strong. He should've paid more attention into what he was getting into when he ran off to try and capture this guy.

"I told you didn't I. Your to soft. If you had gone for the kill you might have had the chance. But you'll never get that no_" he was then cut off as he was hit in the side of the head with a decent sized rock. Causing a small amount of blood to drip down the side of his head.

He looked over to see a small green haired boy with his arm outstretched. He just looked at the kid before he snapped his fingers.

A portal appeared underneath Pack Attack that trapped him. But the portal was only large enough to make his lower body fall through. It then tightened and kept him trapped.

The man walked over to the crying and trembling Izuku. But Izuku could do nothing expect stand still at the incoming villain. He was so scared!

"You know, that might have pissed off someone less level headed, kid. Luckily for you I keep my cool when someone annoying interferes with my plans."

He then knelt down in front of Izuku so they were the same height.

"But for that your gonna have to watch as he dies." He said coldly. A large smile on his face as he watched Izuku's expression change to one of horror.

"No!" Came the yell of Pack Attack behind them. He summoned all the clones his quirk would allow. Ten clones then went running for the villain and tried to both punch and tackle him.

But he simply snapped his fingers and opened up a portal that shot forward and ducked them all in. He then shut the portal and soaked over to the scarred hero.

"You know, that's another thing about you heroes. You always tell out when your attacking. But that's a stupid idea, it just throws the element of surprise out the window." He chastised.

"But oh well, out time here is done anyway. He then snapped his fingers and the portal constricting Pack Attack closed and severed him in the middle of his torso.

His innards that were now outards spilled out init the concrete. Then the massive amount of blood spilled and stained the ground further.

Pack Attack just looked in shock at his severed torso. His mind not able to comprehend what happened. He then slumped to the ground a few moments later. The last thought housing how he wished he brought backup.

"There we go, another hero messing up my plans dealt with." He said to himself. He then turned around to face the still petrified Izuku. His smile widening as he saw he hasn't run off.

"You know, I'm impressed. You didn't run away like I thought you would. Maybe it's a bit of bravery. But I know it's all fear. But to reward you for your 'bravery'. I'll give you a chance to live." He said with a smile.

Izuku though that he had hope when the villain said that. But it was then dashed as a portal slowly opened up beneath him.

"May the void be kind to you. And if you see the maker on the other side, tell them Calipso sent you." He said with a wicked grin on his face as Izuku fell into the portal fully.

"Aaaaaaah!" He yelled as he fell through the crimson void. All around him was nothing but emptiness. Emptiness that went on for miles and miles.

The small boy resigned himself to his face after a little bit. He knew there was nothing he could do to save himself from this. And Calipso wasn't gonna pull him back out.

He just wished he could see his mother one last time. She was the only one in his life who loved him.

"Hello reclaimer, it seems your stuck in this strange pocket of Slipspace." A soothing but synthetic voice said.

Izuku opened his tear filled eyes and looked next to him. In front of his eyes was a silver orb. It had a purple eye in the center of it. But the whole thing couldn't be larger than a small beach ball.

"Can you...help me?" He croaked out.

"Indeed. Just ask for a destination and I can bring you there. After all, it is my duty to help those lost in Slipspace." It said cheerily. The male voice providing a sense of calm for him.

"Please, I just want to be a hero. Is there somewhere you can send me to become one?" He asked pleadingly. He hoped the ball had a way for him to become what he always wanted to be. He just wanted to help others and save the day.

"I think I may know a place Reclaimer. But are you sure this is what you want?" He asked.

Izuku nodded. He wanted to become a hero more than anything. So if this robot knew how. He would do whatever it takes.

"Well then reclaimer. Have a safe journey. And may the precursers guide you on your path." He said simply before a black rift with a blinding white and blue swirling outline opened up underneath him. Causing him to dissapear from sight.

Onyx

2541

Kurt Ambrose stood on the hill that gave him an excellent overlook of Onyx. The remarkably earth like planet had so much beauty in it.

It also gave him some time to get away from the Gamma Company recruits that he was gonna help trian. They had just got here and already gave him a headache.

He just wished he had another candidate and they would be at 330. But they couldn't find one more orphan that wanted revenge against the Covenant.

He was about to slam back to the base when a tiny Slipspace portal opened up a little bit in front of him. It didn't last long. But before it closes a small boy fell out of it.

Kurt walked forward and examined the small boy. He didn't look injured at least. But he had dark green hair that sat atop his head. Dyed maybe?

The kid then groaned and sat up. He noticed that he was laying in the grass. He then took notice of Kurt's boots and looked up to him.

Kurt kneeled down so that he was at more of an eye level. He noted that this kid looked like he was the same age as all the other children.

"Hey kid, you alright?" He asked gruffly.

The boy then tilted his head slightly in confusion.

"その英語ですか." (Is that English?)

Kurt was surprised at the kids choice of language. In this day and age everyone spoke English. Sure some still had accents, but everyone did speak the same language.

Kurt then pulled out a small chip that had his personal AI assistant. Thomas was a fantastic AI for logistics.

A small blue hologram appeared out of the chip. It was the image of a man in a blue shirt and brown pants. He also had a leather harness on his chest that held a knife and water bottle.

"こんにちは。大丈夫ですか？" (Hey little guy. You alright?

The small boy then looked at the AI in fascination and wonder.

"ウー！あなたは何者ですか?" (Woo! What are you?)

Thomas chuckled slightly. Must be this kids first time seeing an AI.

"私は人工知能です。しかし、あなたは私をトーマスと呼ぶことができます。" (I'm an Artificial Intelligence. But you can call me Thomas)

"ああ？ OK。しかし、私はどこにいますか。" (Oh? Ok. But where am I)

Thomas and Kurt were both confused. His could this kid not know where he was? There wasn't anywhere to go on this planet for miles. How could he have gotten lost.

"さてあなたの惑星オニキス" (Well your on the planet Onyx)

"惑星？私はちょうど日本にいたのですか？" (Planet? I was just in Japan?) He said more than a bit concerned

"Well he's certainly not in Japan anymore is he. Guess that would explain the portal." Kurt said to Thomas.

"Yes, but what do we do with him sir. He can't just be left here."

Kurt than took a look at the kid before he got an idea. He looked to Thomas and asked Thomas if he could translate.

"Tell me kid, if you could do anything with your life. What would you do?" He asked simply as the AI translated.

The boy looked at him with surprise. Before a look of determination was etched into his face.

"I wanna become a hero!" Thomas translated.

Kurt let a large smile grip his face. That was the kind of answer he was hoping for.

"Well then. Welcome to the Spartan III program kid."

Current time

Izuku remembered that day intricately. It was the day he learned several valuable lessons. The primary bent that when someone's life is being threatened by another, go for the kill shot without hesitation. The second was that you should get backup if you know you need it. The their was that you must be silent when attacking to regain the element of surprise. And the last was that the world is a lot darker than he thought.

He was brought out of his musing when a jackal shot him in the shoulder with a beam rifle. The short gems of plasma drowned his shields significantly and a second shot downed them and melted his shoulder plate slightly.

But that was all the jackal was gonna get. Because while izuku didn't have a DMR or Sniper Rifle. He did have his Spartan laser. His Gungnir helmet let him aim it expertly to.

The laser popped up from behind his back and into didn't position with the snap of electrical motors.

Izuku zeroed in on the jackal and charged up the laser. The shield was about to put another round into his head when the ruby red beam finished charging and shot out. Turning the jackal into molten slag along with whatever was behind it.

Izuku then had to dodge the ball of plasma from the wraith. He rolled out of the way and looked for where it was.

There was a large ramp on the opposite side of the bridge that was wide enough for it to get up. But this time he had his heavy weapon ready.

He once again charged the laser up and unleashed it upon the alien hover tank. It burned through the front of the tank and through the driver and engine. Causing it to slam into the ground lifeless.

The elites and grunts behind it then chose that moment to attack him. Lobbing plasma at his recharged shields.

He pulled out his plasma repeater and started sleeping plasma downrange. Slamming into the shields of the elites and burning the grunts.

He then activated his target reticle again and had his laser automatically lock onto a group. The laser charged up whisk he continued to spew plasma.

The ruby beam pierced through an elite and three grunts before hunting and slightly going through the hardlight bridge.

It was at that point that Izuku's shields fell and his repeater overheated. He put it on his back and grabbed his rifle as he ran. His laser went back into rest more to recharge. He was hit in the back a few times as he ran. Melting bits of the heavy Titanium A plates. But he used his jetpack to speed away and at this rate their plasma weapons weren't very accurate.

He skid to a halt 600 meters down the seemingly endless light bridge. He then popped his laser out. His helmet zoomed in with a 32x scope and the lasers reticle zoomed over an unfortunately close group of aliens.

He let the laser charged up and he let loose the ruby beam. It crossed the over half kilometer distance instantly and melted through the group. Leaving them a charred mass on the floor.

He then switched to another target and charged hsi alder again. It unleashed and went through two of the rapidly dwindling elites and a grunt. He did so once again and speared through four grunts.

But by that time they had sized up to his strategy. They had his on the sides of the lightbridge, with forerunner metal protecting them. He needed to think of a new pain quickly, because he could see Jackal snipers in the distance.

"UNSC drop inbound!" Yelled an Italian accented voice throughout the facility. Izuku looked up through a home in the ceiling to see a shape following down quickly with a parachute.

It came to the ground with a thud and he cleared the parachute out of the way to see a Mongoose with ammo crates taking up the passenger seat.

"Well, what ya waiting for. Yank me!" Hoped the voice of the AI fragment Izuku called his friend. He pulled the chip out of the console and put it in the back of his neck. A feeling of freezing liquid metal tingling down his spine.

"Good to see ya Ace. Took you long enough to get me something good for Christmas." Izuku joked as he got on the ATV and screamed down the direction he was running.

"Well Santi Claus had a little bit of a delay in the forerunner system. So quite yur yappering and find that artifact. The UNSC wants to launch a nuke on this place and bury the Covenant with it."

"Alright, let's go!" Izuku yelled inside his helmet as he gunned the hydrogen engine.

He could hear the sound of plasma beams impacting near him over the sound of the engine. But with the distance and his speed they weren't gonna bit shit. He didn't have time to deal with them anyway.

It didn't take long for the bridge to bring him to a nearly kilometer wide room that had a large glowing blue orb in the center. The bridge ended and a small appeared that would take him to a control station.

He got off the Mongoose and soaked over to the terminal. He brought out his AI companion and inserted him into the system.

"Find anything?" Izuku asked the mafia inspired computer program.

"Oh, ho. This whole place is a galaxy wide transport system! It can send a person through slipstream space and they can exit anywhere!" He said excitedly.

"Holy shit! That's awesome!" Izuku screamed.

Unlike the other Spartans of his company. He was more emotional than his friends. He also had a bit longer hair than normal as well. With the top of his hair being nearly 2 inches long. But he kept the sides and didn't short so it wouldn't interfere with putting on his helmet.

He also had an active libido because of a faulty augmentation. So unlike all the others he actually had a sex drive.

"Well download anything you can. I don't wanna be here when the nuke drops. And we definately aren't letting the Covenant have this place or it's technology." Izuku ordered.

"Aye sir. But you'd should know that you have incoming." He told him bluntly. He had detected the incoming Covenant force with the facilities cameras and scanners.

"Really, you couldn't have told me sooner?" He asked. Honestly after working with the fragment for slowly 3 years he should be used to this by now.

"2 wraiths, 4 ghosts, 6 brutes, 8 elites, 24 grunts, 4 jackal skirmishers and 2 jackal snipers."

Izuku turned to look at the terminal Ace inhabited.

"Oh! Is that all!" He yelled. That wasn't a small force by any means. But he would take them down just like everything else.

"Yep." The AI said simply.

Izuku sighed as he brought up his laser. He was so glad that he got the prototype that could tie directly to his reactor. Effectively giving him infinite ammo. It helped immensely to carry around and anti vehicle laser.

He used his 32x soon once again and he could see the rapidly approaching Covenant clearly. He brought his hands up to the front of his laser to steady it. He aimed for the center of a wraith and charged it up. A few seconds later he let loose and the ruby beam flew out at the speed of light and blew through the driver and engine of the tank. Causing it to drop to the forums lifelessly.

He then aimed for the second tank that a jackal tried to defend with it's shield. But the beam flew through the shield, jackal, armor and engine of the second wraith.

Now the two tanks were dealt with but he only had one more shot before the laser needed to recharge for a minute.

He aimed and speared through the leading ghost. Causing it to plummet to the ground in a twist of metal and plasma. It pierced through a nrute behind it as well. Leaving him with one less bullet sponge.

He then switched to his rifle and switched to a 4x scope on his visor. He then went a burst of rounds and nailed a grunt in the head, spraying it's alien greymatter on the alien metal.

He then kept this up before the aliens could get into range. With a few hiding behind the three remaining Ghosts.

But he had emptied two magazines and killed 8 grunts, one brute and one of the jackal snipers. All with headshots.

As he grabbed another magazine and slotted it into his rifle the Covenant finally got into range. The ghosts sped off to go and hunt him the last sniper fired off a shot from its beam rifle. The gems of plasma impacted his shields and brought them down to a third before he out side rounds into it's chest and head.

But then two brutes and six grunts ran over toward him. One of the brutes had a bruteshot and the other held a spiker. While the grunts had plasma pistols.

One brute fired a grenade that impacted right next to him. Breaking his shields. He started to unload on the giant ape and filled it's chest and head. Causing the massive alien to drop to the ground.

But a ghost then came around the corner and started to light him up with plasma. A few of the shots hit him and melted bits of his armor. He even felt the intense heat of the superheated gas transfer to him. But his armor did it's job and stopped it. He then got into cover and pulled out his shotgun. He waited for the elite driving to get close and he shot him off.

But the ghost the alien was driving went crashing into his Mongoose and caused both to explode.

"Damn it! I just got that!" Izuku whined. But he quickly got into cover as the other ghost and a brute with a gravity hammer started to chase after him.

"Ok, I can whine about it later!" Izuku said and got behind cover just as the ghost started to fire. Causing the bolts to hit the forerunner metal.

"More Covenant forces inbound!" Ace said inside his helmet.

"Oh that's just perfect." Izuku said with a sigh.

He then popped out of cover and fired a shell into the ghost. The pellets hit the driver and caused it's shields to collapse. He racked it but had to jump over the ghost to avoid it in the narrow pathway he found himself in. As he was in the air he fired another shell at the elite. Blowing it's head off and causing it to crash off the platform.

"Wait, where'd the brute go?" But Izuku didn't even have time to see the dot on his motion tracker before he got slammed in the back with a gravity hammer.

His shields immediately collapsed and he was sent flying off the platform and onto the ground below. He landed hard on his back. He could feel blood slatted the inside of his helmet as he caughed.

",I'm definitely gonna feel that one in the morning." He groaned. Getting hit by gravity hammers felt like getting hit with a speeding bullet train. But instead of the force hitting his armor and being dissapeared across his body. It used gravity waves and hit through his armor to work at his organs.

Good thing he had his shields fully raised, otherwise that probably would've ruptured his organs.

He then looked up through his visorless helmet to see the brute smile at him. It then brought up it's hammer and then jumped down onto him.

But then it was hit by a Gauss round and had it's torso blown apart. Causing the hammer to fall harmlessly to the side.

"Need a hand Izuku!" Yelled a familiar female voice over his radio.

"We have to bail you out again broccoli head." Yelled a familiar male voice as well.

"Good to have you Briggsy and Clint." Izuku joked to himself as he pulled his bruised body to it's feet. He looked over and grabbed his shotgun from where it fell. He loaded three shells and turned around to see the other two members of Misfit squad.

The other two had brought a Gauss hog that they were using to quickly and ruthlessly blow the Covenant forces apart.

They then dodge over to him and stopped the hog.

Briggsy hopped off the turret and grabbed her chaingun. Her armor was a burghandy color with bone white trim. She wore an operator helmet and had a plain Grenadier chestplate. She wore the EVA shoulder pads and Grenadier knees. She also had a UA bracers on both arms and had a non explosive reactive armor laltes on both thighs.

Clint then hopped out of the dodgers seat and grabbed his SRS-99 sniper rifle and held it in his hands. His armor was purple with a dark blue trim. He had a standard MK V chestplate with ammo pouches. He had ODST shoulder plates and a Tacpad on his left forearm. Gungnir kneepads protected his leg joints and had a tactical hardcase on his thigh.

"Well, you look like shit." Briggsy joked. She readied her chaingun in her hand incase more Covenant were hiding. She did know more were coming because Ace had connected to her and Clint.

"Yeah, you get hit in the back by a gravity hammer and see if your fine and dandy." He joked to who was effectively his brother and sister.

"Yeah, but more alien bastards are in their way. And we don't have enough ammo for an entire army.". He said as he steadied his grip on the anti material rifle. He was always the more practical one if the three.

Izuku then out away his shotgun and picked his rifle from his back. He knew that there was probably an entire Covenant army on their tail.

"Ace, what are you at on the forerunner systems. We need to get out of here ASAP!" He really didn't want to stay here much longer than he had to.

The AI's avatar appeared out of the forums next to them. He looked like a monster from the early twentieth century. Complete with a black suit, Tommy gun and a black fedora.

"Well I'm almost done ere. But dem alien bastards have blown out all the escape routes. So I've been tryin to get you guys a Slipspace portal back to earth with this here slipstream generator." The mini mobster said as he turned around and gestured to the large object in the center of the room.

Now that Izuku looked at it, it did look awfully like a portal generator. With wide swooping arcs that erupted form the sides where the two met in the center. Made of the same silver metal that the forerunners were known for.

"How long we have until you get that thing running?"

Ace brought his Avatar's hand to his chin. He pinged at soemhtign invisible in the sky and started mumbling. He then birhgh his hands down and stared at them.

8 minutes give or take a few milliseconds. We have 9 until the UNSC nukes this place anyway." He said with a shrug.

Izuku then looked back at his family and squad. He would do anything to get them out of here safe and sound. But right now that had to hold out until the portal was ready to go.

"Alright, you heard him. So take up defense positions and prepare to kill anything that moves." Izuku ordered.

Both nodded and they moved behind cover. Briggsy hid behind the warthog and pulled out her rocket launcher. If push came to shove she could hop on the Gauss cannon and blow something to kingdom come.

Clint moved to a platform that floated in the air. Where he laid flat against the metal and peered down his programmable sight.

Izuku meanwhile held tight in close to the front. He had his Spartan Laser deployed and aimed down the 32x sight.

Ace had closed the main door that sat 500 meters down the hallway. It hopefully would hold whisky that Covenant long enough. But no one in the room believed that.

Three minutes in was when the door started to glow from the superheated plasma that was currently cutting into it.

The seconds ticked by as the door glowed brighter and brighter. And eventually it melted into a pile on the floor. Where a supercooled liquid then brought the melted metal down to a stable temperature.

It was then that two ghosts and a wraith exited out of the fog created by the liquid metal cooling. Izuku charged up his laser and fired it into the center of the wraith. The beam pierced the frontal armor but it didn't stop. He then charge up another shot and it hit in the same spot. Thankfully this time the them finally died and fell to the floor.

A crack that out and one of the elites driving a ghost had his head blown off. Another crack and the other ghosts pilot was headless.

But then four brute choppers roared along the forerunner metal and sped toward them.

Izuku charged a shot and caused a chopper to blow up.

A sniper round them rang out and hit a brute chopper. Another crack that out and this time the pilot had a large hole blown in their chest.

Izuku by this time had another shot charged and let loose the ruby beam. The third chopper was melted through both the pilot and the vehicle.

But then a rocket came and destroyed the fourth one. While a second rocket came and took out a few of the Covenant troops that were quickly approaching their position while the vehicles were destroyed.

Izuku then put his speed away and brought out his rifle so it could quickly recharge. He looked through the 4x sight that his helmet gave him and he let out controlled burst from the rifle.

At this range Clint was still the deadliest for the industry units. He took out shielded units with headshots while grunts and jackals were picked off two at a time with one bullet. And brutes were killed with one headshot or a bodyshot in the right place.

Briggsy then got on the Gauss common now that they were only a hundred meters out. Tearing apart a group of enemies. The hypersonic slug ripping them to pieces. Ripping through armor and shields alike.

Then two more ghosts and another brute chopper came form behind the Wraith. Closing in rapidly to their position once more.

"Briggsy! I need those ghosts down!" Izuku ordered over their comms.

"On it!"

The large Spartan then swiveled her cause cannon to them and put a round through the light armor of one ghost.

But the other ghost had gotten into firing range and started launching torrents of plasma at Izuku. Who brought out his shotgun and put two rounds quickly into it.

He turned around to see the brute chopper heading down on him. To which he brought out his plasma repeater and started lobbing torrents of superheated gas at it. Causing chunks of it to melt. But it wouldn't do enough damage before it got to him.

A sniper round then rang out and knocked the brutes head clean off it's body. The chopper sun out of control off to the side of Izuku.

"Thanks for the save Clint." Izuku good his teammate as he continued spraying plasma downrange at the Covenant. But now they had gotten into range and started to pelt them. Causing both his and Briggsy's shields to deplete.

Izuku then noticed with horror that 2 hunters had now joined the fight as well. Their hulking forms taking up a lot of space in the hallway.

"We got hunters inbound! Their the priority target."

A Gauss round then sped toward the hunter on the right. But it had its shield raised to block attacks. The forerunner plate denting slightly but was otherwise unharmed. Another Gauss round hit just shy of it's shield and caused it to ricochet.

Izuku then turned his attention to the hunters and started to spray them with plasma. As expected they raised their shields to take the damage as they readied their feul rod cannons.

Izuku then activated his Spartan laser as he fired. The laser popped up and he put the overheated plasma on his back. He then aimed the laser and hit one hunter right in the torso when it moved to fire it's cannon. Causing it to fall to the ground dead.

But it's bond brother fired it's cannon several times in anger at its brothers death.

Izuku ran away from his current position to get out of the blast range. He activated his jetpack to get away but his shields still collapsed from the strain.

Clint then shot the hunters fuel rod cannon. Causing it to explode in a bright green explosion that killed the hunter.

The sniper of Misfit squad then noticed that something was pushing the wraith out of the way. Once it was pushed to the side he saw that it was two more hunters. Both with their shields raised. As well as a brute chieftain and several drones.

"Oh boy, we got buggers, hunters and a brute chieftain." Clint told the other two.

He put a shot that tore through two drones. Their insect bodies falling to the ground.

He was about to out a round into the brute chieftain when a beam rifle scrapped the position where he was sniping from.

He then looked to see a jackal that they hadn't been paying attention to had set up a sniper nest against a destroyed ghost.

Clint hopped off the platform he was sniping from and activated his active camo. He turned invisible and ran along the different ledges and shelves of the forerunner room.

He then put his shield to rest on a railing and zoomed in on the jackal. His active camo disengaged for a second when he fired the 14.4x114mm caseless round punched through it's skull and into the wall.

He then switched his target to a hunter and fired a round into it's head. It staggered back slightly and he put 2 more rounds into it's torso. Which caused it to fall over dead.

The other hunter then fired it's feul rod cannon way to close for comfort and he moved out of the way. His active camo shimmering slightly as he did.

He ran over to where Briggsy was. Who now had discarded the Gauss cannon with the amount of troops and switched to her chaingun. Sending 50. Cal caseless rounds downrange like they were going out of style. The links that fed the ammo falling to the forums as she ripped into the Covenant forces.

"Izuku! Finish off that hunter for me. I need for reload." She yelled out as she ducked behind the hog to load in a new belt.

Izuku then shot his laser again and out a gapping hole in the wounded hunter. Giving Briggsy plenty of breathing room to reload.

Izuku then took hi plasma repeater back out since he had run out of ammo in his rifle. Even though he carried over 600 caseless rounds. And each magazine had 64 rounds of caseless ammo in a quad stacked configuration.

The Covenant rifle filling the air around him with ozone form the sheer heat. They impacted targets at a slower rate kf fkre than his rifle but the shots packed more of a punch.

He backed up slowly as his shields were pelted. But may target that hot him got a steaming plasma bolt put in it.

"Hey, you done Briggsy. I need to grab more ammo." Izuku told her as he stepped back even further.

"Yep!" She yelled as she stepped out with another 500 round belt loaded. Which hooked up into a large drum magazine that held the heavy rounds.

She immediately started to lay into the Covenant troops that just kept coming at them. Wave after wave of gruntsand jackals were mowed down. While Clint took down the larger enemies that she didn't get.

Izuku looked into the back of the hog and found several crates of ammo on the floor. He opened one that labeled 7.62 and grabbed several full magazines and loaded them into his ammo pouches and rifle.

He put the overheated plasma repeater on his back once again and aimed his MA37. Putting accurate bursts of fire downrange.

It was a sight of behold as all three members of Misfit squad fired their weapons side by side at the birds of Covenant. Covering each other as they reloaded and towing done different targets.

"Alright, portals up! Get your asses moving or were all gonna die!" Ace yelled over their comms.

The large gateway in the center of the room opened up with a Slipspace rift. The light of which filled the room. Izuku ran over and yanked the AI fragments chip out of the terminal and placed it back into his helmet.

Clint hopped into the driver's seat and started the hydrogen engine of the Gauss hog.

Briggsy covered them as Izuku got into the passenger seat.

"Come on Briggsy, now or never!" Yelled Clint.

"Alright, just a sec." She said as she mowed down the last stragglers of Covenant.

But just as she was sgonna turn around and hop only the turret of the hog she noticed a grunt in the pile of bodies was still alive. But before she could shoot it, it grabbed it's feul rod gun and fired it at the Warthog.

Her world slowed down to a crawl as she moved. She doing her gun away form her and it reeled to she hair with a magnetic pulley.

The grenade of radioactive and unstable plasma arced through the air.

Briggsy jumped in the way of the round and slammed her fist down into the ground. Her shielding power amplified by several magnitudes and immobilized her as a shield of nearly impervious blue energy sorrounded her.

The bolt hit her and washed over the shield. Briggsy deactivated it and stood up. In a flash she had drawn her M6G and put a 12.7mm caseless round into it's head.

She put the sidearm onto her thigh holster and ran back to the Hog. Her chaingun and SPNKR taking up a large amount of space on her back now that she wasn't carrying one of them. But she was one of the strongest and tallest Spartans of Gamma company like Izuku.

Her 7 foot 8 inch form jumped onto the back of the warthog and grabbed the handles of the Gauss cannon.

As soon as she did so Clint sped off at top speed toward the portal.

And not a few seconds later when several nuclear weapons dropped onto the facility. Followed up by MAC rounds and finally missiles. Just to make sure nothing but scrap would be left behind.

But due to the loss of the Slipspace gateway the portal destabilized. Which did not go unnoticed by any of the passengers if the Warthog.

Izuku gazed at the swirls of dark blue that appeared in the pitch black of Slipspace. It was almost surreal to see themselves in such a low light. With only the dash lights and sparks making any light.

The three Spartans then turned Ron their headlamps and tired to see anything. Because even though none of them knew anything about the complex mechanic of Slipspace. They did know that it was supposed it give off a lot of radiation when not shielded, it was s supposed to be fair black because of lack of visable light, and it was supposed to have a different set of physics since it was a different pains of reality.

Izuku switched through several different settings on his cameras. Thermal and x day didn't give him anything. Ultraviolet also didn't give him much other than some shadows.

But when he turned to gamma rays he was able to see a whole lot. He could see a tunnel that sorrounded them all. And outside that tunnel he could see an infinite amount of tunnels that swirled and looped like a waterpark mixed with a fractal.

"Guys, sketch to gamma day vision. You'll never get a chance to see anything like this again."

The other two Spartans then switched to gamma vision and saw the nearly endless tunnels that sorrounded them.

But they were quickly cut off when the concerned voice of Ace rang out on their comms.

"You guys are gonna need to step on it! The Slipspace gateway is closing rapidly!" He yelled

The three then turned around to see that the tunnel they were driving down was starting to collapse. It was taking in on itself like shattering glass that was catching up with them.

Clint floored the petal doused that he started to make the floor groan with strain.

The big sped up to well over 140 MPH. But it same fast enough. The collapse was gaining on them rapidly. It didn't take long for it to catch up.

When it did their world went white and then black.
