The Pillar of Autumn the ship that started the whole Halo journey for our hero's once a powerful battleship that had seen it's fair share of battle now rested near a cliff edge with her nose  hanging just slightly off a massive cliff, and the antennae along the bow have been bent and torn away. The entire bow has been burnt badly; the metal is scarred. The once powerful cruiser looks almost pitiful, and it is clear its only purpose left is to destroy Halo.  The damaged banshee and Sprit dropship that The master Chief and Y/n took was flying towards the ship. The master Chief banshee that was slightly damaged and smoking Banshee veers wildly towards one of the Pillar of Autumn bumblebees  docking slips.

"This thing is falling apart!" said Cortana in a panic voice.

"It'll hold." said The master Chief calmly.

"We're not gonna make it!" said Cortana.

"We'll make it." said The Master Chief.

"Pull up! Pull up!" said Cortana in a Urgent tone of voice right before the Banshee drops just before reaching the Bumblebee slip and smashes into the side of the Pillar of Autumn, sending debris and fire hurling out madly.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" asked Cortana in a sardonic tone while Chief climbs into the bumblebee port. Meanwhile Y/n and his best four legged friend had also made it into the ship crash landing in one of the hanger bays a few decks below Chief and Cortana.

"Cortana to Y/n are you okay?" ask Cortana on the coms.

"Yeah Balto and I are okay although the ship is in bad shape I doubt it can fly anymore." said Y/n on the coms.

"Roger that where is your location?" asked Cortana.

"A few decks below you in one of the hangers it's pitch black down here thanks goodness I have nigh vision in my helmet." said Y/n while Balto barked.

"Roger that. The Chief and I are heading towards the bridge with the captain Captain's neural implants to initiate an overload of the ship's fusion engines. The explosion should damage enough systems below it to destroy the ring." said Cortana.

"Oh well then I better get my ass up there then." said Y/n who started to make his way towards the bridge.

Y/n's pov

The place was pitch black if it wasn't for the night vision I would bump into walls or other things that go  bump in the night. The ship was indeed in bad shape containers where thrown everywhere most of the blast doors where blasted open or stuck and on top of that the layout was different. It was just way to quite even for me. I just had the feeling that something was just gonna pop out from the darkness at any minute and right on cue something just did. One of those flood things jumped better yet popped  the shadows from what looked like some sort of flood pod and swung it's claw at me but I jumped back and blasted it with with my shotgun before I heard slurping sounds and more flood started to rush towards me and Balto. (a/n: in case you are wondering what I'm referring to play the SPV3 of Halo)

"Shit!" I said blasting a few more flood before Balto and I ran down the halls not looking back but keep moving forward but there a new threat floated around the corner.

"Oh great now what?" I asked before the flying robot charged up a beam and fire nearly took my head off making me roll to my left to avoid the beam while it hit the flood that where behind me before more of those floating robots floated into the area and started to open fire not on the flood but also on me.
