3rd POV

Ghost: "Status report."

Deku: "All systems are good, no damage really except the Slipspace."

Spartan Ghost was aboard his personal ship, the UNSC Silence of The Night, A prototype Blackout-Class Stealth Cruiser. It was commisioned in 2557 to the three Top ONI Operatives, including himself. They're Slipspace was damaged after a brief contact with what remains of the Storm Covenant under Dural 'Mdama in whicn a CCS rudely shoot the Slipspace drive, moments before The Infinity and The Shadows of Intent exit Slipspace. Heck, he could see the rift forming right before he jumped.

Ghost: "Contact?"

Deku: "I can't reach the UNSC and there's no UNSC signals anywhere."

Ghost was about to give put an order but he stopped when he peered out the window.

Ghost: "Deku, what am I seeing here."

The green A.I popped up from his console.

Deku: "Truth to be told, I don't know. The planet looks exactly like Earth, just without Home Fleet, ODPs, and the big glassing patch on Kenya."

Ghost stays silent, but decided on something.

Ghost: "Prepare a Pelican, I'll be scouting the planet."

Timeskip

Ghost landed on a forest somewhere around Asia. He brings his MA5D, M45, and M6G in case he needed some firepower. He move quietly and cautiously through the forest. Best case scenario, this is a human world. Worst case scenario, Elite Assassins like the Silent Shadows are behind him, and he's definitely not planning to get stabbed by plasma blades, again.

After some time moving through the forest he came across a city? But the people looks uh....

Ghost: "Deku you seeing this?"

Deku: "I do, interesting."

He can see what looks like humans down below in the city. Problem is that they look ridiculous. There's a few people with animal features like a bird head or a tail, then he could also see people with an arm replaced with a green hulk arm and he's pretty sure he saw a guy burning hot dogs with his hands.

Unfortunately, his sightseeing was cut short by an explosion in the distance. He jumped towards a nearby building before doing a little parkour alongside the rooftops to the source of the explosions. He arrived at the scene and saw, Brutes? They're definitely Brutes, but there's only a few of them, and nothing else. They're armor suggests they're from the Covenant or a standalone clan, not the Banished but still.

He decided to jump down, and get their attention by firing his M6. The Brutes recognized the gunshots, and they look pissed.

G. Hammer: "Kill the Demon!"

The one with a spiker rushed at him, shooting the molten metal spike at him. Ghost rolls over before pulling out his MA5 and fired. The brute staggered a bit, and it also destroyed his armor. The brute went to a berserk state and Ghost simply jump up and shoot his skull with the M6. The one with the Bruteshot rushes at him, bad move considering the Bruteshot was a grenade launcher. Ghost simply jumps out of the way before stomping his head and dumping an entire 36 rd mag of 7.62 X 51 FMJ rounds. The leader with the Gravity Hammer wasn't happy.

Hammer: "Why can't you Demon just die."

He slammed his hammer and Ghost falls back, reloading his rifle. The Brute smashes his hammer in front of him and Ghost punched him in the gut, before delivering a roundhouse kick to his face. As the Brute staggered, Ghost unsheathed his combat knife and stab him through the skull, before slamming the ape to the ground, and stomping his head to paste.
