This is my Halo/Marvel crossover. Harbinger of Kaos inspired me to write my own and I've actually always wondered what it would be like if Halo went over to the Marvel universe ever since I played Reach. This is my story and I'm going to make some changes for the benefit of my story. This is only the first chapter and you may recognize the first part from one of my other stories, but it saves time on my hands. Also like I stated in my previous story, you are Noble six, so apply your own traits to add variety to your Spartan. Rate, Read and review and as always have nice day
Noble Spartans, Noble Heroes Chapter 1: Noble beginning
Noble 6 was standing alone atop a raised platform looking out at the burning horizon. Two banshees flew over him followed by a phantom. He was unfazed by the legions of covenant flying above. B312 was too busy reminiscing his long military career. He was right now 25, one of the oldest Spartans of the new generations that's still alive
He lost everything when he was only 8. After the loss of Jericho VII in 2535 he became fueled with sorrow, hatred, and a thirst for revenge. Beta-company used that to turn him into the super soldier he is today. B312 was a special case thus giving him almost equal augmentations to the legendary Spartan-II's.
B312 briefly thought of Beta-company and how they were so easily waited in OPERATION: TORPEDO. He bowed his head in silent a silent prayer for his fallen Spartan brothers and sisters. Now he probably the last Spartan left from Beta, save for Kat since they got separated.
'Probably last one on Reach altogether' Noble 6 thought. Still that failed to frustrate him. More covenant forces came down and Six decided it was time to move. If he was the Hyper-Lethal vector the war labeled him to be it was now time to prove it.
In the distance Phantoms deployed Battalion after battalion and the way the covenant did so was in a manner to frighten or intimidate regular humans. Noble six however was not a ordinary human as the site of the battalions made his blood boil with adrenaline and rage. He slowly began his descent down the platform, passing by other fallen Spartans. B312 was sad to see so many Spartans left alone to rot or be glassed, rather than given a proper burial.
Still Six hoped that as many Spartans as possible got off Reach. His thoughts wandered to Earth. Reach was the fortress that protects Earth from falling into the hands of the covenant.
'Seems irrelevant since Reach has fallen' Six thought grimly
B312 saw a group of Grunts and engaged them with his DMR, taking out the entire unit with one clip. B312's radar blipped to the left. He swung his DMR and hit a Camo Elite. He kicked the elite onto the ground and shot it right in the head. Six quickly reloaded and began firing at the next group of unsuspecting covenant. He took down a number of grunts and jackals before retreating to a crumbling mini base for cover.
He reloaded once more and peaked over his wall. He saw brutes, jackals, grunts and a pair of hunters. He knelt back down and checked his equipment. All systems were still operational. Six looked to his right and saw a rocket launcher along with a Spartans laser.
Both were severely tempting but he figured he'd save the best for last. Six picked the rocket launcher up and saw an active Camo underneath. Six grinned at his luck and also picked it up, activating it immediately.
Six ran as fast as his Spartan speed could carry him. He flanked the hunters first. Six charged at the closest hunter and clipped a grenade, shoving it between its neck. The hunter promptly blew up, causing the other covenant to take notice and receive two rocket launchers to their forces. The remainder scattered in panic and when they all settled, they peaked back to see the attacker gone.
Suddenly the remaining hunter died from two explosions to the back. All heads turned to the dead hunter, and more covenant began to die by an invisible force. A brute chiefton roared at the covenant forces to find the demon. Six smirked at the name. That was another of one of his many nicknames.
His Camo deactivated. A brute spotted him and began firing. Six ran up to him, his shields taking most of the damage, pulled out Emiles knife and stabbed the brute in the head. Other covenant saw six and began firing at him. B312 used the brute as a shield until the covenant ran out of ammo. When they did, Six quickly pulled the knife out and used his last remaining rockets to give him enough cover to retreat.
Six ran back and found an armor lock along with a bubble shield. He traded his Came for the bubble shield and ran back to the spot where he found the laser. Six arrived to see fully loaded. He grabbed it and looked up just in time to see the first wraith to taste his beam.
Six shot the laser, instantly destroying the tank. While he was reloading, noble six saw that only elites were now attacking. He smirked. Now they give him a challenge. Six began fighting like a wild animal. He saw fear and even respect in their eyes.
Soon Six began to see cracks appear on his HUD. He quickly pulled off his helmet and threw it aside. His short dirty blond hair were glued to his forehead from his sweat. His blue eyes, fueled with rage. He saw an assault rifle and grabbed it, gunning down an ultra. An elite attempted to kill from behind but was elbowed down and shot three times in the head, Six reloaded and began firing again at another elite coming at him. He was hit by a plasma bolt and spun around, recovering fast. He held up both his rifle and magnum as he shot down the two elites.
A zealot charged at him and knocked him down. Six felt something fly off his neck. The zealot jumped at him only to be knocked back. Another zealot came up but was punched back by six.
The zealot recovered and raised his energy dagger to stab. At that moment B312 saw his life flash before his eyes. His birth, the loss of his family and glassing of Jericho VII, his thirst for revenge, him training to become a Spartan. The long days of war, the reputation that garnered him one of the many heroes of the war. And lastly his meeting with Noble team and final fight against the covenant
The word final didn't sit too well with him.
Suddenly with new life, Spartan B312 sprang up, twisted the zealots arm and impaled him with his own dagger. The other zealots roared and attacked six with all their might. Six held no remorse as he slaughtered the elites. When he finished Six was on one knee, breathing heavily. He felt a glint of light on his eye and saw
'My dog tags' He thought. Six looked at one and saw his first nickname, Wolf. He then saw a name he thought he forgot
"Nathan" Six muttered. He had a small smile "Can't believe I forgot my old name"
Nathan remembered Officer Mendez one time telling him how even though he's a Spartan, having a name also keeps you human. Nathan got up and looked to the skies to see a Covenant super carrier. The Spartan looked down to his helmet and picked it up without a second thought.
He put it on and felt his shields come back on
"Well at least that works" He muttered as he picked up his assault rifle and headed towards the super carrier.
"Hey Six, aren't you gonna wait for us?" Nathan looked back and his eyes nearly fell out of his skull
2557
Cortana was checking her signals and still found nothing. She sighed sadly and looked to the cryostat tube holding the legendary Spartan hero of the human covenant war, Master Chief John-117. He had been this way for the past 4 years and it seemed as though no help was coming.
The thought made her avatar smither and then burst into a shade of violent red.
"Calm down Cortana, calm down" Cortana breathed. She knew this would happen eventually. She was entering rampancy. The AI glanced at Chief once more and sighed sadly. Knowing John, once he found out, he would do everything in his power to save her. He always kept his promises. But this time she felt as though he couldn't.
Cortana decided to run a quick diagnostic on the ship. Power was still keeping the ship on full alert.
'Well most of the important stuff' Cortana thought as she checked the auxiliary generator, which was functioning properly. Chief's vitals were all green and no anomalies detected.
As she was finishing her scans her radar blipped a large massive object. Cortana quickly pulled out her radar, and saw it was a planet. She began making scans to see if the planet held any kind of signals, covenant or UNSC. What she found where very unusual messages and soon discovered them to be forerunner.
The planet was not that far and by her estimates, the ship would arrive in no less than 1 day.
One day later
Cortana was still making scans of the planet or was planet. Turned out to be a forerunner station of some kind. She had made as many examinations of the station as possible but couldn't make it out.
'Either it's to advanced or I'm losing my abilities' Cortana thought grimly. She saw they were close enough and began making the procedure to awaken the Spartan. After several minutes the tube thawed out and Chief began to move. He grunted slightly and turned his head to Cortana.
"Morning sleeping beauty, had a nice nap" Cortana said jokingly
Chief smirked at her wit and humored her "Now that my mini knight in hologram armor has arrived, yes a good nap"
Cortana laughed
"So Cortana, what's going on?" Chief asked in all seriousness.
"Well we aren't being rescued but I did find a forerunner space station, and before you ask, No, it's thankfully not a Halo ring" Cortana said beating Chief to his question. He was relieved to know it wasn't a dreaded ring. Still he had to be on high alert, knowing what could be on a forerunner base.
He got up out of his pod and took out Cortanas chip, placing it in his armor. The cold chill down his spine went through again.
"Oh John before we go I have some bad news" Cortana said sadly
"What's wrong?" John asked in concern
Cortana hesitated for a moment "I'm entering rampancy"
John hung his head sadly. This was hard to hear, since Cortana was probably the closest friend he has ever had. That however did nothing to break his resolve
"Then we'll go down to this forerunner site, find what we can find to help us out of here and maybe even repair you" John said with authority
Cortana smiled weakly and said with a battle cry "Well what are we waiting for?"
Two hours later
The duo were at the hangar bay which was luckily still on their side of the ship. John saw dozens if not hundreds of vehicles, that were either fully operational, damaged and needed repair, and the rest were damaged beyond repair or needed some serious tools.
They found a fully operational long sword and prepped it for flight.
"Ready to go Chief" Cortana giving John the thumbs up
"Let's go" Chief clicked on the engines and flew out into empty space and saw the forerunner station.
On the other side of the station
A large modified looking pelican flew towards the same forerunner station. It was much larger than a regular pelican as it was two and a half times larger than the typical pelican. The weaponry was much more powerful and on the side it had the name Noble.
A clad black armored Spartan left the pilot seat and turned on auto pilot landing. He checked his gear and equipment and soon returned to the pilot seat to see he was landing. The engine gave a stutter and landed with a thud, but nonetheless it was an ok landing.
With Chief and Cortana
They boarded off of their long sword and soon were walking down the forerunner structure. It seemed more of a military base as the sentinels seemed more like heavy hitters. Chief did notice the occasional familiar sentinel but either than that there was quite a lot of new tech He and Cortana had ever seen.
As they made their way deeper into the structure they stumbled upon green plains, a lake, mountains and a large terra region.
Suddenly John tensed as he felt a familiar eye watching them. He turned to see a monitor
"Ah a reclaimer at last" The monitor said in its artificial voice "Welcome Reclaimer to my installation, militant 00. I am its monitor Noble Vigilance. This is a military station and civilian station used by the forerunners"
"A military and civilian station?" Chief inquired
"Yes during the war with the flood, the forerunners built various stations like this one. It wasn't just use as a base of operations. It was also used to shelter civilian forerunners as well as repair damaged ships. Sadly this is the only one left as the others have been destroyed. This was one of the final places the forerunners gathered before they all vanished"
"Why did the forerunners leave?" Cortana asked
"They left as they felt that their time had come, they had done all that they had felt they had done for the Galaxy and as such, it was time for another to take their place as custodians of the Galaxy, they chose your race Reclaimer. However, I feel that there is much to discuss, and you and your Construct are in need of rest and recovery."
The Spartan turned and spoke.
"Why are you helping us?"
"I do not understand Reclaimer, I was built to ensure that any and all needs that you have are to be met to the best of my functions and that of my servants. Is there something that I have done to offend you?"
Chief went onto explain the events of halo, Sparks frequent betrayals, murder of Johnson and its rampant state of protecting 'his' ring
"That is truly shameful, but I do remember Spark rather being known to get attached to what he is assigned to at times. It was the only choice"
Cortana and John held shocked expressions and Cortana asked
"But wouldn't you be distressed by this news?"
"It would be against my programming to lie and I will say it is rather depressing in hearing this. However I have to weigh the options at that time and saw that what you did was necessary. Spark had already entered rampancy and had become too attached to his ring. His programming allowed him to learn, but that was his own downfall. I have recorded everything he has done and have seen he had an unhealthy obsession with the ring. Thankfully I will not go into rampancy. I was programmed by the didact personally due to me being an overseer of the construction of other forerunner bases. My other programs include helping the reclaimers once they arrive until I could be of no further use. That was given to me by the librarian.
Cortana snorted and said
"I won't lie about that obsession, but hang on you were watching us the entire time?"
"Yes I…"
Vigilance suddenly stopped and the monitor turned to the west. Chief and Cortana tilted their heads in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Cortana asked
"A large vessel containing Six reclaimers, have just arrived on the far side of the installation"
"Other reclaimers?!' Cortana asked with hope
"Yes please, follow me. We have to greet them after all"
It took half an hour to reach the other end but Chief and Cortana believed it was worth it as they stopped dead in their tracks.
"A halcyon cruiser" Cortana whispered staring at the UNSC ship in front of them
"This is an older model" Chief commented coming closer. He saw the name of it. Noble Intentions
A pelican flew out from the side and landed in with the backside facing the trio. The entrance ramp opened and out stepped six individuals, one that John had not seen in a long time and the rest Cortana recognized immediately.
"Noble team?!" Cortana yelled out in disbelief
"Jorge?" John said looking at the largest of the group
"John?" Noble Five gazing at his Spartan-II brother
There was an awkward silence amongst the seven Spartans when Cortana said
"How did you guys get here? Last time I checked Noble team was still on Reach"
"Well that's a long story" Noble one spoke up before turning to Six "Six why don't you explain"
"Yes sir" Nathan stepped up "After Noble team delivered the AI to the Pillar of Autumn, I was alone for some time. I fought of waves of covenant forces until, by some miracle I reunited with Noble team. Emile was given medication and the treatment needed to keep him alive by Kat and Jun, who were on their way from CASTLE base to the Pillar of Autumn launch site and found Carter, still alive and breathing in the wreckage of his pelican. After I reunited with them we fled towards the mountains where Noble One and Four could be given proper medical care in a facility abandoned by the UNSC. After they recovered fully, we continued up the mountain and found another launch site for a Halcyon cruiser also abandoned. This was a smaller model not meant for naval warfare and the problem with it was it was a one trick pony"
"To be exact" Kat cut in "The Halcyon design was meant for reconnaissance. It was deployed by super-carriers to scout out covenant forces in space. The cruiser had a slip-space drive that can only be used twice. Once to see the covenant and then to escape, in either reporting to them or bringing the covenant into a trap"
"Right" Nathan nodded at Kat "So we took the ship for ourselves and made our escape. We flew right into hell and activated the slip-space sending us to the far edges of the galaxy, or god knows where"
Nathan paused to gather his thoughts
"For a week we drifted endlessly through empty space until we stumbled upon a wrecked covenant carrier or what was left of it. We noticed it was the middle part of a covenant Super-carrier and then out floated a fully functional covenant carrier. We boarded it and found none other than Jorge here, sitting beside a slip-space drive and its pelican. Turns out the slip-space drive that was supposed to be a bomb simply teleported noble five to some unknown region of space"
"Lucky you guys found me" Jorge commented
"We decided to take as much as we could with us, so we managed to latch the covenant cruiser onto our ship, along with a cache of their weapons, vehicles and technology. We had hoped the slip-space drive was still functional but it to was damaged beyond repair. Not even our genius could repair it. So for five long years we floated endlessly through space and then we found…this place"
"My god you guys survived all that?!" Cortana asked through Chief
"Hey no offense but where the hell is the lady who keeps talking?" Emile asked annoyed
"Oh, my bad" Cortana apologized "Chief"
Chief reach the back of his head and pulled out Cortanas AI chip and held out his hand. Cortanas avatar appeared and Noble team gathered around the AI.
"Is this the AI we delivered to the autumn?" Nathan inquired
"Yeah, and you guys are probably wondering what became of the war right?" Cortana asked getting nods from the entire team "Well you guys better get ready for what you're about to hear"
Chief and Cortana went on to explain about the discovery of Halo. They told them about the flood, the true purpose of the ring, Guilty spark. Noble team was relieved to know that chief destroyed the instillation but was shocked to learn about more that existed. They were even more stunned when the war took such drastic changes that humanity allied itself with the elites.
"After all that?" Carter muttered
"Can't believe we allied ourselves with those split-lip bastards" Emile said darkly
"Yeah, well you'd be surprised at what humanity can do" Jun said nonchalantly earning a dark chuckle from Four
Chief continued to tell how he and the Arbiter worked together to save Cortana and finally destroy Grave mind and how he ended up a drift for 4 years.
"Well that was one hell of an ending" Nathan commented
"If it wasn't for your team humanity without a doubt would have not had the chance to survive" Cortana said to reassure Noble "Thanks to your selfless bravery we could not have won"
"It seems as though my creators have chosen the correct inheritors of their empire" Noble Vigilance stated "It's truly incredible what you reclaimers have gone through and I am truly amazed that you have all survived. Now if you would all please follow me, I believe it's time for you to all earn a good rest. And construct I can call in my medicant to come and help repair and improve you"
"Wait you could do that" Cortana asking like a child
"Of course" Vigilance stated casually "That is a basic protocol all forerunner AI follow when damaged. All AI in threat of rampancy that still hold use must be repaired indefinitely. Like I stated before it is my programming to aid the reclaimers, programming I received directly from my forerunner creators"
Cortana then asked something on everyone's mind "Why exactly did the forerunners choose humans as their successors?"
"My creators made many severe and bitter mistakes. My creators have charged me to aid you and your kind to not make those mistakes. They believed themselves as the peace keepers of the galaxy, thus they began to deactivate most of their potent weaponry as they believed weapons were unneeded in a galaxy of peace. They believed they should avert conflict for all races and that peace was a better choice, and believed that they were best suited to defend all bio-diversity in the galaxy. This cost them everything…as well as their lives. Those who survived, including the didact, vowed to make sure this never happens again. Ironically they learned that the only way sentient beings can learn is THROUGH conflict, thus creating boundaries and morals"
"The Flood came from beyond the rim, this much my creators knew, and this had told them that there may be other, more powerful threats beyond the rim as well. They no longer could defend the Galaxy and they felt that their failure to do so was of their own making. That is why they chose a race that could grow, thrive, and adapt…your race Reclaimer as their successors."
Vigilance turned and then the facility came to full power as he spoke.
"Now the time has come to reclaim what you have been marked to inherit."
After a week of convincing the Spartans, they relinquished their armors for repair and upgrades. Cortana sighed and shook her head at their stubbornness. It was proven in Spartans psychiatric evaluations, they bonded with their MJOLNIR on a more mental level. They feel rather naked and vulnerable without it.
While the Spartans were out of their armor, all seven reviewed the history of the forerunners and found it very informative, especially the details about all their installations like the Halos and the ark. It also showed the breakdown of the military might they once held, ranging from vehicle and hand held weaponry.
One thing in particular that caught their attention was the forerunners had their own set of augmentations. It was completely organic rather than artificial like the Spartans received. The augmentations focused on increasing abilities naturally than artificially. Cortana saw this opportunity and told them to take it. She was backed up by Noble vigilance.
They were hesitant at first but eventually agreed. The procedure was completely painless and virtually healed all of their conditions. Cortana showed them that their body functions, like strength, eyesight, stamina broke any human records exponentially. There was also nano Huragok within their bodies acting as a much more immediate immune system to repair damage and keep them disease free.
While they waited for their armors to be upgraded , they all reviewed more history on the forerunners. The team of humans and AI were completely shocked to know that humanity once had a vast empire that rivaled the forerunners and that they were allied to the prophets.
It soon all came together as to why the forerunners chose humanity as their successors. The forerunners were to unwilling to go into violence and believed peace should be resolved with friendly dispute and not violence. It was proved futile as the flood came and their near extinction. Still the forerunners had done the Impossible, something humans tend to do quite often and survived.
And now by all rights, their technology and legacy belongs to humanity. That surprised Noble team, John and Cortana, even though their weaponry was used against them in the war against the covenant it was an honor to inherit the legacy of the once noble guardians of the galaxy. And unlike the forerunners, humans were more diverse and flexible. There were obviously corrupt, and evil humans but there were also the noble, kind and strong willed humans.
After the Spartans had read up on the forerunners Cortanas avatar appeared full human size, courtesy of Noble vigilance's upgrades.
"Hey guys the MJOLNIR armors are all repaired and improved, wanna see?"
"Lead the way Cortana" John responded.
The Team followed Cortana down the hall and on their way Cortana said happily.
"I can't wait to tell you guys about all the upgrades I received as well as your armor. This place allows me to walk around like this however long I want"
"Well glad to know you could stretch your legs" Nathan joke. The Spartans chuckled and soon arrived at the armory. On the sides were hundreds of combat skins that none of them recognized. The Spartans guessed that those must have been the battle suits used back then by the forerunners. The Spartans then turned to see their new and improved Spartan armor.
"What are we looking at Cortana?" John asked not taking his eyes off of the armor.
Cortana smiled "I could tell by your face, it's quite impressive isn't it. My 'mother' Dr. Halsey originally intended to make the next set of advanced Spartan II armor but the project was cut after Reach"
Noble team shifted uncomfortably slightly. Chief patted Nathan's back and reassured the team
"Hey you did your best Spartans, there's nothing to be ashamed of"
"Yeah your team fought more than any other Spartans or UNSC forces fought on Reach combined" Cortana said strongly "Now It's time for me to give you guys the workings of this magnificent piece of tech made by yours truly with the help of our gracious host"
"Thank you for the compliment construct" Vigilance replied happily
"So what improvements are we talking about Cortana" Carter asked anxious to get into the new armor
"Well for first things first I took the liberty of using the data from the MJOLNIR's own records as well as the data we have from the Forerunner's own technology as well as their Combat Skins. The new version of the MJOLNIR has a new alloy to form the helmet, the outer combat shell, and the inner suit itself. This alloy is a specially made Titanium-Tungsten carbide mix that is altered at the molecular level and is able to be much denser than either metal but not become heavy in any fashion so it's not going to weigh you down easily. And thanks to the Forerunner manufacturing data as well as their machines, the alloy is made in thin sheets at the molecular level, the end result is an outer armor shell that is extremely resilient both energy based weaponry, explosives, standard ballistics, and advanced ballistics."
"How resilient" Chief inquired
"Picture taking on 3 phantoms at once with zealots as the only infantry along with a wraith. It can take that and more. Plus the armor is able to handle hazardous environments as well and is hardened from radiation, EMP, chemicals, and more as par the requirements of the MJOLNIR series. Plus we also have an upgrades refractive coating to further disperse heat and energy from the armor for increased survivability from energy damage."
The Spartans nodded and smirked at the new advancements, as future battles were obvious to come, they knew they had to be prepared for anything. However they still listened intently to all of Cortanas details
"The shield blueprints I used were a fusion of the MJOLNIR new hybrid reactor and a forerunner combat suit to handle most threats. It was the highest model as it went up to combat suit 18. The shields are unbelievably powerful and can handle most if not all threats. Just remember you guys that the shields will need recharging if they get to low or fail"
The Spartans nodded knowing she was entering her motherly ways…again. They smiled at her and she realized her behavior and smiled back
"Anything else?" Jun asked
"Yes, I managed to access some of the data that we had from the development and research databases back on Reach and I have managed to incorporate something new into the MJOLNIR, this a special healing module that uses the principles of the Sterile Field Generator but is able to help heal injuries without you having to go back to a medical center for treatment. This was developed back on Reach if you were to recall, but we never got the supply of the devices in time during the Fall of Reach either. This works with the new onboard medical care systems we have on hand since we replaced the Biofoam we normally use with a new medical agent from the Forerunner database."
"What is that?"
"I'll call it Bio-gel, the name is a bit odd for sure, but it is the same as Biofoam, yet uses what appears to be a special synthetic cell that are totally organic and can help heal injuries and speed up the natural recovery process without adverse effects to the body. Like Biofoam, it can seal wounds, mend tissue and organs, and also set bones, but unlike it, the effects are longer lasting and semi permanent. This can be pretty useful as the MJOLNIR can manufacture the Bio-gel on site and that is a serious advantage in any case. Plus it is also suited for the augmentations you have as well so no side effects to boot"
"Not bad…those will certainly come in handy." Emile commented
Cortana smiled at that and replied.
"I knew you would like that, anyway, the new MJOLNIR also happens to have a number of other features as well as improved ones, it's a lot more stream lined and as such, grappling points on it are less in number so this can be an edge in CQC. The Reactive Metal Liquid Crystal Layers had to be repaired as well as given a greater level of power and performance to even up for the increase in power, and it is going to be rather roomy in there for me as well, the Force Multiplication Circuits have been replaced with new and improved due to burn out damage. Lastly, the Hydrostatic Gel has been cleared of any viscosity and improved for a smoother function base. And I have installed the features that Dr. Halsey had in mind so we can really be able to hold our own if we need to. And as an added bonus made by me, I can now easily jump in between your armor easily"
The Spartans soon suited up in their new armor and found it a lot lighter than usual and found their movement more fluid and more refined than ever before. They also had the use of all the special armor mods such as Camo, hologram and armor lock all integrated into their armor.
Not only did their MJOLNIR armor receive improvements, but all of their weapons received an overhaul of augmentations. All of their weaponry were improved to the smallest detail yet still retaining their old UNSC and covenant look. Cortana being the imaginative genius she was, experimented with gun powder and soon created a more lethal level of power with their ignition.
The new addition was based on Gauss technology and it was something that John and Nathan enjoyed considerably as they tested each new weapon. While the whole line off Gauss weapons retained the look of the UNSC standard infantry arsenal, they did have some traits that were different. They relied on ammunition like regular weapons but their ammunition no longer relied on gun powder and was in different varieties for a variety of battles.
The first was the standard solid tungsten round for AP duty, next was the especially made Shredder Rounds that could splinter on impact on fleshy targets, ballooning outward to cause tissue damage. That Emile smirk darkly as he couldn't wait to equip his shotgun with shredder rounds. Next were Phased rounds, specially coated rounds that had the ability to refract energy and allow them to bypass shields though in doing so, they lose a portion of their mass and could not do as much damage to their targets, but could easily bypass shields, the next was a special round that had a small amount of specially made fissionable material that while not nuclear in nature were made to unleash small yet powerful EM pulse blasts, this made them deadly to robotic targets unless shielded against EMP
These were certainly welcomed by the Spartans as these could give them a much needed edge in battle. The same could be said for the next branches of weapons.
The first Energy Weapon branch was based on two concepts, the first being from the Spartan Laser, and the other being the Pulse Beams of the Forerunners, which were more advanced than that of the Laser Technology fielded by the UNSC. The Pulse Beam weapons were limited to the infantry weapons as they were pre-dominantly used as anti infantry weaponry while the Spartan Laser was improved to have a stronger power supply and improved firing rate to make it more effective as an anti-armor weapon. The end result was that if traditional ballistics and Gauss were not enough, then Lasers were the next step. They were powered a clip that housed not bullets but a special fuel cell that could be recharged and used in combat.
The Second branch was Plasma itself, and both of them were surprised to learn that the Covenant's plasma technology was considered as crude and weak by Vigilance, and the Forerunners had actually taken Plasma to a much higher level than thought possible by anyone. That was why the Plasma branch was based on the Forerunner data on the Sentinel Beams and as such, the new versions were better in some senses to the Covenant weapons as they had tremendous range, power supply, and damage power. The weapons were in the same form as the UNSC weapons as per the request of the Spartans for more familiarity than most would think. To keep them from overheating, they were armed with special clips that took in the heat as well as excess plasma and recycle it back for use. The new Energy Swords were also just as impressive and can be very helpful in close combat due to the improved battery supply as well as the now deep blue plasma that was emitted from the handles..
There were also some Forerunner weapons that could create solid light to form barrels and when used in conjunction with another like them, could produce a beam of immense power though the once carried by two hands could not be used in conjunction with another. These were taken by John, Kat and Carter very well.
The last branch was actually based on ONI's Hard Sound Rifle, in which sound was formed into a strong, solid mass of energy with high kinetic force. The advantage this weapon had over regular Sniper Rifles was that it left no bullet wounds on the target, made no audible noise, and no powder or burn residue on impact. It achieved such kills by actually obliterating internal organs, literally shredding them on impact This made it a perfect assassin's weapon and while John had no idea why Cortana had the weapons made, he was sure that there was good reason for it anyway.
After this was all said and done John addressed an obvious issue.
"What about our mode of getting home?"
"Just gonna give you a heads up, the Halcyon is barely holding together so it might not make the trip back to Earth" Nathan said right away.
"I'm also sorry to state this, but the reclaimers only left scraps of ships and not enough to construct a new vessel" Noble said disappointedly
"Then what about using those scraps and the Halcyon cruiser and combine it with half a ship" Chief said
"I will have to see the ship first Reclaimer"
Noble teams Kat and Carter boarded the longsword along with John, Cortana and Vigilance. They flew out and found the wreckage of the Dawn.
"Ah that will be perfect. The sentinels can pull this back and the Huragok can immediately begin to combine and improve both this vessel, the vessel your team arrived on and the many leftover parts we have" Vigilance said happily
"So how long will it take for this to get done?" Cortana inquired
"About 5 months by my calculations. The Huragok always take things apart before repairing them into their original model. However because it will be combining a number of materials they will need an exact design" Vigilance told the Spartans
"How about this?" Cortana said as she showed a hologram version of a UNSC frigate "Except supersized"
"That will do perfectly" Noble Vigilance's eye glowed green, as it recorded the image and schematics so the Huragoks can design it for human use
Sentinels soon arrived on the scene and pulled the half ship to the installation with the longsword right behind it. The crew returned to the rest of Noble team, as they all watched Huragok swarm the ships.
On their way back, Carter asked if the covenant carrier would be upgraded as well but not combined into the new ship. He wanted to keep it as the first line of attack rather than charging head on with a brand new ship. Vigilance agreed and told them he would make the Huragok adjust it for human use.
One week into construction
Cortana and Kat were looking over many of the forerunner technology. They had gotten rather close, due to their many interests and insane ideas. Currently they were studying the forerunner combat skins and how it can materialize around a forerunner at thought.
"This could be useful" Kat muttered as she studied a combat skin up close, her helmet off
"Yeah, if only we could find a way to apply to your armor. The nano Huragok can already do that for you but it would be neat if the moment you want your armor on, it appears" Cortana stated while going through the files of the forerunners. Her hologram reappeared beside Kat and the two continued to study the forerunner tech. From afar Carter, Nathan and John observed the females
"Looks like Kat stole your friend, John" Nathan joked
"No, I think those two are just glad they can get away from us..." Carter paused searching for the right words
"Cavemen?" John suggested
"Yeah probably" Carter said chuckling with them
"I haven't seen Cortana that friendly with others in a long time" John commented
"Probably cause no one can match her….genius" Nathan emphasized
"Yeah, by genius you mean insanity" Emiles voice said from behind the trio as he arrived to join them "After looking over what both of them have done, I can't decide who's scarier"
"This from the guy who has a skull helmet" said a lazy, recognizable voice. The four looked back again to see Jorge and Jun approaching them
"The real question we should be asking is, what the hell are we going to do to occupy ourselves for the next five months?" Jun said
"Hmm well I got my blade" Emile replied in a bored voice as he pulled out his Kukri, twirling it. His helmet then tilted up with an idea.
"Hey Vigilance" Emile called out "Where are ya?"
The monitor appeared, looking at Emile
"How may I be of service Reclaimer?"
"What kind of metals you got that aren't gonna be used for the ship?"
"Why plenty reclaimer, why do you ask?" Vigilance asked in curiosity
"Take me to them" Emile instructed the monitor who floated towards a compound at the base of a mountain. The others, curious of what Emiles intentions where, followed after the two. They soon found themselves in a circular room surrounded by many materials slotted in shelves
Emile approached one of the shelves and pulled out some of the metals and materials inside. He weighed them in his hand, checking their quality
"Emile, what are you doing?" Jun inquired, obviously befuddled by his comrades behavior
"Measuring the materials" Emile said it so simply, as if he had been doing it for years
"Why exactly?" Carter asked
"I'm gonna make myself a personal blade" Emile replied
"A sword? Like the hyabusa Spartans?" John asked
"Yup, when I was being trained by Mendez, I took an interest to swords. I read many books about them and the many methods of making them" Emile stated with a hint of pride "Always wanted my own"
"So how are you going to make it?" Jorge asked while looking at what he identified as some kind of rock
"If memory serves me correctly I believe I know how" Emile vaguely answering Jorge's question. Emile gather a number of materials and placed them on a table that appeared in the middle of the room. He sorted through them then looked at the Monitor
"Hey vigilance can you identify these materials, what they contain, what they can be used for and how much they can take"
"Certainly reclaimer"
"Well you have fun Emile" Nathan said aloud "Call me when you're done with yours, I might consider making one myself"
With that Nathan exited and was soon followed after by the other Spartans
Two weeks later
Nathan was leaning back, listening to Metallica inside his helmet. He had discovered by a miracle of a chance, a room in the Halcyon that contained a whole list of rock back from the 80's. He had asked Cortana to download them into his helmet and made it so he can say which band he wants to listen to whenever.
During these past two weeks, Emile had constructed 3 different blades, each serving a unique purpose to him. With the help of Noble Vigilance, the blades can retract into their hilts and come out when Emile mentally commanded it to do so. Also with Kat and Cortanas genius tweaking ability, they programmed the swords to only serve the Spartan team.
5 months later
The Forward unto dawn and Noble Intentions were now combined. The final model was now three times the size of a frigate and 6 times the size of a Halcyon, easily outclassing a UNSC Destroyer and enough to take on 3 Covenant super carriers.
The ship overall had completely been reinvented in all of its aspects. The ship was now covered and laced with 5 inches thick with titanium and vanadium along with energy shields for the entire ship courtesy of Noble vigilances stock of old forerunner equipment. The circuitry and technology received an overhaul as the tech could now work at immeasurable speeds. The ship was now powered by the core of a star, giving it lasting power that could give enough energy to sustain planets such as Reach for a millennia. The vessel was also now equipped with a cloaking device, that rendered it completely invisible and its' MAC cannon had superconducting metal used allowed faster more powerful shots and the ability to fire three shots each, as well as two energy projection cannons on the underside of the pontoons, this fired a concentrated energy beam for 30 seconds, wasting anything in their path, defensive turrets and lasers were added for good measure, along with additional missile pods of Forerunner make and modified UNSC missiles.
"That has got to be the most beautiful ship I think I have ever seen" Emile stated as the seven Spartans, Cortana and Vigilance were gazing at the new ship. The ship was now simply renamed Noble Dawn as it seemed to signify new events on the horizon.
The vehicles were upgraded, the weaponry was upgraded, even their armor was further upgraded. The ship was now packed with all the sentinels and Huragok of the installation since Noble Vigilance told them, his purpose was to the reclaimers and no longer the forerunner installation
"So I guess it's time to go" Carter stated, glad to finally get off this installation
The team boarded a pelican and were soon inside the new war ship. They were all in the control room as each were at a computer, checking over the systems
"So Vigilance how well does the slipstream work?" Nathan asked the monitor
"It would take only two days for us to travel from here to reach Earth"
"Then let's do it" Cortana placed in the coordinates, some of the sentinels began to prepare the ship for the jump. Kat activated the slipstream. The frigate entered a slipstream portal only for the alarms to go off.
"NOBLE WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Cortana shouted
"It seems as though the distorted space that was made during the time of the forerunners is affecting the jump. After the disappearance of my creators the generators that kept the space from distortion must have slowly deteriorated leaving the space surrounding the installation unstable. We must get out of slipstream now"
"Don't need to tell me twice, Kat abort" Kat nodded and began to punch in abort commands
"Hang on everyone" Kat said to the crew
In empty space
A slipstream portal opened up and out came a giant ship. The UNSC crew slowly regained their senses.
"Noble, what's the status of the ship?" Carter asked the monitor
"We have escaped the dangerous area and have now arrived in the far regions of gamma quadrant. If we use the slipstream once more we will be upon Earth in 13 hours with no disruptions"
The ship soon entered another slipstream portal and vanished.
Near Pluto
Forward unto dawn exited slipstream and began its flight towards Earth.
When they approached
Cortana was checking the planet when she gasped
"GUYS"
"What?!"
Cortana didn't say anything as her avatar stared at Earth. The UNSC crew got a good look at the Earth before them. But this was not their Earth. There were no other UNSC ships orbiting the planet along with the advanced stations. Africa looked untouched and New Mombasa was untouched
'What the heck is going on?" Nathan shouted "I thought you guys said Mombasa was glassed"
"Cortana what's happened to Earth?" Chief asked his friend
"I don't know" Cortana replied before making scans of the planet. After what seemed like days she had an answer
"You guys are not gonna believe this but we're in the year 2012" Cortana pulled up videos and images of this Earth "And you are not gonna believe this in the slightest"
She showed the crew clips and picture of people in colorful costumes fighting crime.
"Cortana please tell me what I'm looking at is a lie" Kat was not sure what to say in the slightest
"Yes those are honest to life real life superheroes and super villains"
"Could it be that we traveled not only back in time but into an alternate reality as well?"
They were all silent until Nathan said the word that summed up their situation
"Shit"
Chief knew Nathan was right. This was something on a whole new level
Two weeks after their arrival in this new galaxy the Spartans were gathered in front of Kat, Cortana and Vigilance
"So Cortana, Kat, Vigilance, What have you found out about this Earth" Carter asked listening intently
"Well let's get the obvious out of the way, the space around the Installation was in a state of constant flux due to the left over from the age of the forerunner. So because of that we appeared here"
"Upon arrival we have studied the technology and high class groups here and have discovered there are certain organizations that contain files on the intriguing beings that reside on this planet. The main one being SHIELD, contains files on groups of humans with special abilities and skill, mainly the ones called the Avengers, the fantastic four and the X-men"
"Those are some…unique names" Jun commented "Why do they call themselves that?"
"The beings who exist here are known as meta-humans, mutants or simple soldiers. Each use their powers and skills to either be selfless heroes, villainous intent or are neutral altogether" Kat explained
"Wait, there are simple soldiers who associate themselves with these people?" Carter inquired
"Yes, although there are people with powers, there are those who train their bodies to peak physical conditions that can rival pre-augmented Spartans" Cortana explained as she showed images of a man wearing an American flag type uniform carrying a circular shield, another wearing a black suit with a bow and arrow, a man wearing all black with a skull and a red head wearing a tight leather suit jumping out of a collapsing building, surviving the jump.
"Huh, that's pretty impressive" Jun said thoughtfully rubbing his chin
"Indeed. Now these organizations have very high octane technology both varying from human and alien, some fields that can rival the UNSC, but they don't have anything that will allow space colonization which we have accomplished" Kat said with a hint of pride
"Wait if they have technology that can rival the UNSC, why haven't they achieved space colonization?" Chief asked the three presenters
"Some of the technology can be too costly and the UN in this universe don't exactly seem keen on uniting for one cause" Cortana said in a disappointed tone "Also other sentient beings might not take it too kindly"
"During our studies of this Earth we have identified the beings here with unique powers that they have attained through accidental, legal, illegal or 'Intentional' accidents. There are those born with powers who gain their abilities from a gene passed down from their parents. The gene is known as the 'X'-gene and it awakens their abilities once they enter their teens" Vigilance explained as the monitor showed a group of heroes wearing varying uniforms yet each had an X somewhere on their suits. There were others from a giant hulking green humanoid, a man wearing a red and blue spider suit fighting another in a black suit with a white spider on its chest.
"Now there are also others who are alien in origin with powers, artificially created beings, or those who get their powers from mystical means or get this are divine beings" Kat continued
"Hold up" Emile shouted abruptly "Divine beings? Are you guys serious?"
"No and I'm still having a hard time believing it" Kat pressed a button to display a being with a smoking skull riding on a hellacious bike, and a man in a Viking attire swinging a hammer above his head, thunderclouds gathering.
"Holy crap" Emile commented, everyone agreeing with his statement
"Hey Vigilance, can you get some drinks up here before I get a massive headache" Nathan asked quickly
"Certainly Reclaimer a sentinel will be here in a matter of seconds"
"Good call" Jun patting Nathan's shoulder
"What of the aliens on this planet?" Jorge asked
"Well one of the most well known ally of the earth was the alien known as Captain Mar – Vell as his name is pronounced or as the people called him Captain Marvel." She said as it showed the man with blonde hair and a uniform of red and black with a star on his chest and gold bands on his wrists.
"He was originally sent to spy on earth by his people the Kree humanoids similar in shape to humans but with blue skin, he was part of a minority of pink skinned Kree, he eventually defected in favor of Earth, but died of cancer, he was very well liked in the hero community." She said.
"Hmm a lot like that Arbiter elite you mentioned Chief" Carter noted
"Yeah, Arbiter had to make the same decision" Chief nodded
"What about hostile alien races?" Jun asked
"The two major ones that come up are the Kree and the Skrulls. The two have been having a blood feud that have been going on long before humanity appeared in this universe. There war culminated in a meeting on Earth, both hoping to conquer this planet to gain a foothold against one another. However thanks to the help of Captain Mar – Vell and a young man named Rick Jones, they managed to stop it before it got too far. The Kree have not bothered Earth since that time but the Skrull attack with every chance they get. Their race are a type of shape shifters that have studied and copied some of heroes and villains that inhabit this world. However they have been driven off frequently by the Fantastic Four" Cortana showed images of Four people combating with the Skrulls. One stretching elastically, a woman half way through turning invisible, a young man surrounded by flames and a humanoid with the appearance of a rock like skin. All four were fighting numerous Skrulls and were succeeding in their battle
"Now onto the groups of heroes that exist on this Earth. There are a decent few but mainly three that are the most well known worldwide. The Avengers, The Fantastic Four, and the X-men are the most well known groups of heroes. There are individuals but there are only two known exceptions but we'll focus on them a little later. You're all also probably wondering if there are any villain teams. There are but they are not as consistent as the hero teams" Kat quickly explained
"We'll start with the largest of the three groups which is the Avengers" Cortana started by showing images of multiple heroes working together
"The group was originally composed of 5 people, Anthony Edward Stark AKA Ironman, Dr. Henry Pym AKA Ant – Man, his then wife Janet Van Dyne aka Wasp, Dr. Bruce Banner AKA the Hulk, and believe it or not the actual Norse God of Thunder Thor." She said as the images of the team back then.
"Okay stop right, are you telling me they had an ACTUAL god in their ranks?" the commander of Noble team asked in complete shock
"And this is why I asked for drinks" Nathan said aloud as a sentinel floated over to them, carrying a tray of beverages. He grabbed a few bottles ranging from alcohol to soda and distributed amongst the Spartans
"Good call six" Carter complimented the Lieutenant
"Yeah, remind me to get you a medallion" Emile said as he removed his helmet and took a swig of beer.
"So how'd they come together?" Jorge asked
"The group was brought together when Thor´s stepbrother Loki framed the Hulk for a train accident, a known associate of the Hulk, Rick Jones sent out an S.O.S which the other 4 received and responded too, when the truth came out and they defeated Loki, they remained together and formed the Avengers under the creed of taken on villains no single hero could, however due to internal problems the Hulk left, leaving the others to pick up the slack, however they soon joined by someone that more than made up for it, I think you´ll like this part guys" Cortana said with a smirk garnering curious and confused looks from the male Spartans
Cortana displayed a hero wearing a patriotic costume holding a patriotic shield
"This is Steve Rogers or better known as Captain America, the first and only successful Super-soldier"
"The program titled Operation Rebirth, was meant to create an elite fighting force of physically superior soldiers to fight the Third Reich during WWII who also sought to do the same, this where Rogers enters, he was originally rejected from the recruiters office, but a General noticed how much the young man desired to aid his country, therefore he enlisted him into the secret program, headed by the scientist Abraham Erskine."
"How ironic that the Americans would succeed where the Germans failed." The Chief commented.
"Indeed, Rogers was injected with a secret formula then bombarded under controlled conditions by "Vita - Rays", the effects were immediate as his body went from frail to peak human condition, however because of a Nazi spy killing Erskine who had the formula memorized, he was the only subject to be produced, it was revealed that previous subjects were exposed to only half the procedure but this led to severe mental problems, and as for current attempts the results have been mixed at best, however should he have existed in our reality I have no doubt he would have made a fine Spartan." The A.I said.
"Wait, if this was done in WWII, how did this guy survive to this day?" Jun asked
"It would appear that on one final mission before the closing of the war, his country´s enemies created a crude atomic explosive, he along with his partner went and intercepted the device, however though the managed to divert it, it was armed with a trap, they were over the northern hemisphere and with no choice would have to bail, however only he made it out and because of the enhanced nature of his body was placed in stasis, the Avengers found him and revived him, he has been a member ever since often leading them into battle." The monitor spoke.
"The group has taken on members from many differing backgrounds; some are monarchs, some aliens, robotic and even reformed super criminals." Cortana added.
"I see, so these heroes the Earth´s first and only line of defense?" Carter asked.
"They are the most organized and largest but there are others, take this group called the Fantastic Four."
"Oh these guys again" Emile stated as the images and videos of the Four who fought the Skrulls reappeared
"Yes, although they are primarily dedicated to science and exploration, the four have defeated threats from space and from Earth" Cortana told the Spartans as she showed individual images of the group
"They received their powers when they were testing a spacecraft that was bombarded with cosmic ray, altering their DNA to ways beyond our comprehension" Cortana zoomed in on a man in his thirties, with brown hair with a grey on the edges
"This is Reed Richards or MR. Fantastic, the leader of the group and is considered the world's most well renown scientist but here's the thing that might be our ticket home. He is well versed in many fields of science including alternate dimensions, time travel, genetics and space exploration"
"Best we not get on their bad side then" Carter noted
"What are his abilities?" John asked.
"He is capable of stretching and compressing to unknown lengths any part of his body; he can shape his hands into maces or hammers and increase his mass for additional strength, and his style of combat is designed around his powers, however he is by far more a strategist than a front line fighter, and prefers to outwit his opponents rather than face them, moving on."
The next image showed a blonde woman in a similar uniform.
"This Susan Storm Richards AKA the Invisible Woman, the second in command of the group and often considered the heart and soul of the team, she is the wife of Dr. Richards as well as mother to her children Valeria and Franklin, according to the information gathered she is the most powerful member of the four because of her gifts, which is the ability to mentally create and shaped psionic force fields, that she uses to either render herself or others completely or partially invisible, and to create construct or different shape and density so long as she maintains concentration."
The next image showed a young man, blonde and again similar uniform.
"This young man is Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm AKA the Human Torch, he is the younger brother of Susan, is the youngest member of the group and has a knack for getting into trouble, he contributes by working on the vehicles they used, he has a rather peculiar relationship with the team´s front line fighter The Thing, it shifts between hostility and brotherhood depending the situation, he also is a bit of a womanizer so you better watch out for him Kat." She said to her friend, getting a snort in return.
"He is a pirokinetic, capable of engulfing his body in super heated plasma, this grants him flight in oxygen rich environments, he can manipulate external flames as well as absorb and redirect them, and despite his seemingly childish mindset he has a wide spectrum of knowledge when it comes to his powers, making him a rather unique combatant."
The final image showed the hulking figure with orange rock like skin.
"Finally we have Benjamin Jacob Grimm AKA the Thing, he is Reed Richards oldest friend, they met in college were they were roommates, he as a rather colorful past, he is former street gang member, however when his older brother Daniel died as a result of a gang fight he changed his ways, he gained a football scholarship and later several advanced degrees in engineering, he joined the marine corp. and he became a test pilot and later an astronaut for NASA"
"Ben Grimm's physical appearance and abilities are the result of the accident; he possesses high levels of superhuman strength, stamina, and resistance to physical injury, surviving impacts of great physical strength. There were actually occasions were Ben returned to his human appearance but he chose to return to his monstrous form to benefit his team"
"The teams primary enemy is this man" The monitor showed an image of an armored man in a green suit, cape and hood.
"This brooding fellow here is Victor Von Doom or as he likes to go by now as Dr. Doom. He was with the Four when they were hit with the cosmic radiation. He blames his condition on Reed specifically and swore he would do everything in his power to kill him and his team. As much trouble and crimes he has committed the bastard is actually is the leader of a Eastern European country Latveria, granting him diplomatic immunity. Thanks to that he is free from persecution" Cortana finished bitterly
"Yeah, well let's just see what happens if he tries to get in our path" Emile said casually holding his Kukri
"As much as I agree with you Emile, don't underestimate him" Cortana warned but she still glared at the image of Doom
"Ok who else do we have Kat" Carter asked the genius of Noble
"That would be the X – Men, they are a group made up mostly of mutants who use their abilities to defend humanity from others of their kind who do not share their ideal of peaceful coexistence between the normal humans and the naturally enhanced population, however on occasion they tackle certain interplanetary threats as well as supernatural ones." Vigilance answered for Noble Two
"The original leader of the group was Charles Xavier or Professor X, a mutant telepath of the highest order, he used his family estate as the base for a school designed to harbor and teach young mutants how to control their abilities as well as teach them to used their abilities for good, most of the students are runaways and outcasts, as their families reject them out of fear or hatred, while others are located by Xavier and are asked to join." The A.I spoke sadly at that thought of those rejected by their loved ones.
The images showed a man bound to a wheelchair or hovercraft, always wearing attire one would expect from a professor, despite his age he had no hair on his head, he could be seen conversing with various students and very important people, some even in the hero community.
"Wow" Nathan commented what was on everyone's mind "The people who reject these guys are complete assholes"
"Here's a compilation of the team, including ones that have been deceased for some time now"
"This is Scott summers current leader of the X-men. His field name is Cyclops and his mutant power is to fire concentrated blasts of concussive energy of great force, however he cannot control it due to brain damage he suffered as a child."
"This red head here is Jean grey who was the then wife of Scott Summers. This one is especially interesting because her powers are mainly telepathy and telekinesis but she bonded with a cosmic force known as the Phoenix. The powers soon overwhelmed her and it resulted in her death"
The next image showed a man made of ice.
"This is Robert Louis Drake AKA Iceman, he was the youngest to join the school he possesses the power to radically decrease the temperature of ambient water vapor in his immediate environment, thereby freezing it into ice, his body can also regenerate after suffering diverse forms of damage, due to the nature of his powers he is considered one of the most powerful mutants on earth however he limits himself for fear of losing control."
The next images showed a man with an ape like appearance, then with a more bestial appearance with grey and blue fur.
"This is Dr. Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy AKA Beast; he is the resident Scientist of the group he is in expert in diverse fields of genetics, physiques, mathematics etc., his mutation has taken on diverse forms from simian like to more bestial in nature, he has superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance. He is equally dexterous in all four limbs; able to perform tasks with his feet or hands with equal ease."
Then came one of their first real shocks. The next image was that of a man with angelic wings
"Warren Kenneth Worthington III AKA Angel AKA Archangel, he is a multi billionaire and in many ways was the first to use his abilities to help people, at first there was internal conflict between himself and the other founding students, but in time he warmed up to the others and vice versa, however he also suffered a traumatic event when one of the groups enemies called Apocalypse captured him and deliberately tampered with his body giving him blue skin and replaced his organic wings with the metallic ones, after he was freed from the control placed on him he called himself Archangel, during this period his metallic wings could be used as weapons as they could cut through most anything as well as fire of his feathers, however his natural wings returned and his complexion due to a secondary mutation that allows his blood to heal his body as well as that of any person with a compatible blood type."
"Well glad to know we don't have to take out fallen angels" Emile said with a chuckle "Wouldn't want to upset the big guy up there"
Some chuckled at the comment while the rest smirked and shook their head.
"Who else?" Jorge asked returning to the presentation
"This is Ororo Munroe AKA Storm." She said as an image of a beautiful black woman with long white hair appeared again in diverse uniforms.
"She was pick pocket in Cairo when Xavier found her and freed her from the clutches of a physic entity known as the Shadow king, for most of her life she has been revered by her people because of her abilities to control the weather, however she is not arrogant because of it but considered gentle and kind to many who have friendly relations with however just like mother nature she can show a rather nasty side to those who threaten her and her friends and family."
The next image showed a woman with long brown hair with a white streak in the middle of it in a green and yellow skin tight outfit and a leather jacket.
"This is Anna Marie AKA Rogue, she has a rather colorful history, she was chased off her home when her mutant powers first manifested, you see she has the ability to absorb the life force and memories of whoever she has direct skin contact with, in the case of super powered individuals she can duplicate their powers, the longer she holds on to them the longer they last, she was found by known mutant terrorist Mystique and used to face many heroes such as the Avengers and the X – men, in one altercation she absorb the powers of the Avenger Ms. Marvel permanently, however when the many psyches she had absorb grew too much for her she sought out help from Xavier, the team was weary of her but eventually she earned her place among them"
The next image showed a man in a brown overcoat covering black and violet shirt, black pants and shin guards, he had a staff and glowing playing cards, the most noticeable feature was his eyes, his iris were burning red and his sclera were pitch black.
"This character is Remy Etienne LeBeau AKA Gambit. He has the power to convert an objects potential energy into kinetic energy and making sure it goes out with a bang, depending on the objects size, the charging time will vary hence why he uses small objects such as playing cards as weapons, he is also an excellent hand to hand fighter given the fact that his powers grant him greater agility and dexterity, they also render him immune to detection by telepathic means, he is also a very accomplished thief, so be careful around him guys."
The next image showed a man wearing different uniforms that with the same motif, large diamond shape pieces over the eyes, he had metallic claws over his hands that turned out to be coming from his body as evidenced by the images of him fighting out of uniform.
"And finally we have this charming fellow who is simply called Logan AKA Wolverine, and he has quite the file, turns out that most of his past is unknown even to him, except for the event that has more then left a mark, that is his capture and illegal experimentation by a covert weapons program searching for a means to creating living weapons, according to the information gathered, his mutation gave him three foot long retractable claws that appear above his hands, enhanced senses as well as an accelerated healing factor that heals him of most wounds as well as poisons both natural and not and grants him other benefits including a long life span, there are ways to circumvent it but they do not last long, however against his will he was enhanced by having his entire skeleton molecularly bonded with the element known as Adimantium, a metal said that is virtually indestructible, whether this is true or can only be confirmed by obtaining a sample of it, this metal allows his claws to cut through anything except the metal itself or other objects of greater properties such as the shield of Captain America, however there are setbacks to this as it has rendered him highly vulnerable to magnetic and electric attacks, such as when the mutant known as Magneto literally ripped it out of his body, he survived and was later re enhanced against his wishes by Apocalypse, he has great resistance to physic attacks, he is a known master many forms of combat, personality wise he is a loner though not adverse to work with those he trusts, still he has often gotten in trouble with others in the team and as well as other heroes for his willingness to cross the line they do not, as well as authority figures."
"I like this guy" Emile commented
"Only you Emile" Jun sighed, not really caring
"So is that all we have or is there more?" Carter asked the trio presenting as he was processing the information
"Well there is only these two" Kat stated showing an image of a green beast destroying everything in his path
"This little temper tantrum guy is called Hulk, or when he's not in rage mode, Bruce Banner. Banner was a scientist in the field of nuclear radiation, more precisely Gamma radiation, during the testing of a bomb of his design he left the safety of the bunker to save a teenager unaware of the impending explosion, he managed to get the boy to safety but the bomb detonated before he could do the same, exposing him to massive amounts of radiation, somehow he survived, however according to the boy, Rick Jones Banner transformed into the Hulk for the very first time, from then on he has been the subject of constant persecution from both the military as well as those who wish to obtain the power he possesses." Cortana paused to let them digest that.
"I´m assuming these persecutors wish to use the Hulk as a weapon of sorts?" the Chief asked.
"That is correct, the military deems him either a menace or tool to be used, they have also made numerous attempts to duplicate the accident that gave rise to the creature, all have failed miserably and in worse cases given rise to more threats sometimes the being they chase must resolve, according to all known information though some of these Gamma mutants as they are called are initially stronger than Hulk and retain their intelligence, they all meet defeat at his hands for his ferocity and unlimited strength, you see his strength, speed and stamina is directly proportional to his anger, the more angry he gets the more powerful he becomes, any victory achieved over him is not without cost, up till now the only recorded victory over him that did not result on heavy losses for the victor was against the Inhuman known as Black Bolt, who through the uses of his destructive vocal cords and bone shattering strikes defeated the being easily, however he also has a powerful healing Factor that rivals that of the mutant Wolverine, that too increases with his anger healing terrible wounds in mere moments, also his hide can only be penetrated with either sharpened titanium or adamantium, anything else requires extreme force to do so, exercise extreme caution should you encounter him Reclaimers."
"Hmm Vigilance I want you to find as much information as you can on the hulk" Carter ordered the monitor "We need to be ready and have strategy should we ever encounter this guy"
"And at last we have our last file" Kat stated with an image of a red and blue spider themed suit swinging through Manhattan
"This is Spiderman, secret alias Peter Parker. he is one of the few to start his heroic career during his teens if the information is accurate, he has often stated that his powers were derived from a irradiated Spider that bit him altering his genetics so as to mimic it, such as wall crawling, proportional strength, speed and agility as well as a sixth sense he call "spider sense" that warns him of impending danger, he has genius level intellect as evidenced by a large array of devices he has personally built to aid his crime fighting activities as well as the webbing he made that he uses to transport himself around the city and fight his enemies, no one not even SHIELD is sure why he began to fight crime but it is speculated that it had to do with the death of his Uncle during a carjacking, he now splits his time with teaching, his freelance photography, his wife and aunt and his super heroic life."
"Whoa! Talk about multi tasking. Teach me a few moves" Jun commented nodding his head in respect at the teen.
"Trust me when I say many heroes ask him that same thing, moving on, despite many incidents where he is seen aiding people or stopping crime, he is often the victim of persecution and slander by the media, or more precisely, the Editor In Chief of the Daily Bugle J. Jonah Jameson, this has turned most of the city against him, yet still he continues to fight the good fight, he also has connections to many in the hero community, he is best friends with the Human Torch, he has aided the Avengers and X – men, and has both helped and faced the Hulk on occasion, he is mostly a loner by nature, as evidenced when he rejected membership into the Avengers, he also has more enemies than all others combine, mostly because their also enemies of the groups, he is often the underdog, facing off against smarter, stronger foes whether alone or in groups"

"Whatever" Emile shrugged

"Fine" Carter shook his head in an amused defeated look "Looks like we'll all do it"
Alright my newest crossover and I just want to say this right away. I know there are parts taken from Kaos but here's the thing Kaos got this info from comics so I'm not really stealing from him. I only took their descriptions.
Now here's an important question what jobs should the Spartans have. I need recommendations and they all don't have to have the same job. PM me or leave a suggestion in the reviews thanks for reading again
