Halo:Discovery

Plot
Ten years after the end of the Great War, the United Nations Space Command has begun to rebuild, but is under constant threat from Insurrectionist attacks. While searching for a new colony of planets for inhabibility (due to the Covenant glassing the Outer Colony and some of the Inner), they descover the floating husk of the since forgotten UNSC Spirit of Fire. But as the UNSC recover those in Cryogenic Sleep, a new Flood Type doesn't want the humans to know what the Spirit learned about the Forerunner on the Shield World and all hell brakes loose.

Meanwhile, the slowly rebuiding Covenant, under the Command of the Prophet of Judgement, the Prophet of Respire and the Prophetess of Trust, begin to colonize several planets, descovering new, more powerful species for it's armed forces. They soon descover a Forerunner relic on a Icy Planet, which is being guarded by the Light Flood, who just need transport to leave the planet they had been stuck on for a few hundred years. Aswell as this, some of the surviving Kig-Yar clans have begun to make deals with the Insurrection, offering them Plasma Weapons, aswell as their shield technology, in exchange for a spot in their military command, all until the descovery of Covenant Ships near Eayn, where some of the Kig-Yar clans/Insurrectionist alliegence must fight for their planet's safety.

Part 1: Prolouge
The UNSC Spirit of Fire floated inside the planet, watching the fiery, tan orange Sun going into Supernova state. "Hangar Bay reports all checked in," Serina calmly spoke.

"Then let's not outstay our welcome. Best Speed Away," Cutter ordered.

"Captain, the gravity field from the Sun is expanding," Serina stated, "Were not going anywhere."

Ellen Anders turned to Captain Cutter, Cutter turned back and at Serina, with an idea in mind. "Let's see if we can't turn that to our advantage. Serina, plot a course that takes us into the sun. We're going to slingshot around it."

"Threading a needle, while accelerating around an exploding star, inside a planet that's falling apart. Sure, why not?" Serina spoke in her dark, mysterious humour.

"Serina! Can you do it?" Cutter asked rushing each word.

Serina plotted the slingshot, and suicidal course, around the sun, and spoke to Cutter, "It's done. You might want to hold onto something."

Cutter, along with the others, took a seat, eyes firmly placed on the sun. Serina noticed this. "Closing your eyes might help to," she said as the Spirit of Fire went rushing closer into the planet, a Forerunner Dreadnought almost hitting it. The Spirit 'slingshotted' around the fiery sun, droplets of sweat started appearing on Cutter's skin. The Spirit rushed outside the planet via a small hole in the planet. The Spirit Rushed outside the planet at a speed of over 100,000 Miles per hour. A few seconds after escaping, the Planet moved in on it's self, and exploded in a chaotic explosion of fire and rubble. The Spirit was still moving. Onboard, several Marines shouted out in a victory cry. The Covenant had been defeated once again. Ellen rose from her seat as the Spirit of Fire eventually came back to a sudden stop. A tear was dripping from her eyes as she whispered, "John."

After two weeks of drifting, Ellen and Cutter were moving with the three SPARTAN-IIs, Jerome, Alice and Douglas. Jerome stepped into a Cryogenic Pod, after putting his Spartan Laser next to the Cryo Tube. Alice was next as she put two M7S/Caseless Sub Machine Guns on either side of the pod. Finally, Douglas placed his Rocket next to the Tube, before entering it, "It has been an honour," he spoke. Several people were entering Cryogenic Sleep. Each worker, crewman and pilot were entering the individual Tubes. James pressed a certain combination onto a door, opening it. Anders was first to speak, "Captain, I would much rather stay awake to monitor this area."

Cutter tried to calm her, "Professor, there's been no sign of the Covenant for almost two weeks. There's nothing to do."

"But Captain-"

"But nothing, Professor. You got us all out of their alive. Get some rest," Cutter hushed her. He pressed several buttons, Ellen standing in the Cryo-Tube. Before the hatch closed, she spoke, "Not all of us Captain, not all of us." Cutter watched as her skin began to freeze over with frost. Cutter then realized what she ment, and pressed a single button on the cryo-tube next to Ellen's. It closed, with a label saying Seargent J. Forge.

James walked back to the bridge, nobody else was there, now his only company was the Smart AI Serina. She appeared next to his seat, looking sympathetic, "Captain, is everything ok?"

Cutter sat down on the seat, looking into the empty vacuum of space. He turned his head to the hologram. He thought about Forge, then replied to Serina, "No, Serina. Not this time."
