"Once the game is finished, the king and the pawn go into the same box."
Nothing was making any sense. How did she get here? What had changed? Why were they all so cold?
A sort of "what if" scenario I came up with one day: what it would be like if the Cortana we all know and love from Halo 1-4 suddenly "returned" post-Halo 5, having to face a universe corrupted by, seemingly, her own hands?
Rated M for Mature
!!!!Warning: anxiety and PTSD triggers, character death, depictions of torture, mild language!!!!
I don't own Halo!

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross]
Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.

Marks
I am going to be making an entirely new book based on this same plot and similar characters... But I will not be a literal child when writing it. Hopefully it's much better lol. _________________________________ Book 1 of the Marks series! _________________________________ What if you fainted, and the place you left, the place you remember, is long gone? Instead you're stuck fighting for your life with the help of your classmates, who all remember everything. But you don't. Ava's twin is hiding something from her, and her best friend isn't the same person she remembers. Her school has been turned into some sort of military base and everyone is in uniform. She hasn't seen any adults, and half of her friends aren't around. What's going on? _____________________________ "I just want to know why. That's it. Why did all these people have to die? Why is it that people had to lose almost everyone they loved in one day? Why? It just doesn't- It isn't-" Dawson sank to his knees and put his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking violently. A sob left his lips, the agonizing sound pulling at my heartstrings. "Why is it that people change? That I'll never get to see..." His voice dragged away into the silent air. Everyone was long gone, having left after the ceremony. Dawson stayed where he was, silent tears running over his fingers and to the ground as his body shook with the force of his cries. ________ This book is based off of my friend Ava's dream.Complete
Halo 3: ODST Operation Cup o' Doom
***Mature Content**** **I have heavily updated this story. It needed it! Aria Peril, the lead Sergeant of a ragtag group of ODST wisecracks, has been stuck trying to run a division with no second in command and no officer. Though she does her job well, and most of the troops respect her greatly, there are still some who have issues with what is to come. The year is 2552, just after the Great Schism, and an Epoch-Class Heavy Carrier is retuning to Earth after several years in space. With the Human-Covenant war coming to an end, the troops are getting cabin fever and the real shenanigans begin. Some new troops are headed their way and Aria is making the appropriate preparations for their arrival. Rha' Bahtiyaree, a Sangheili Ultra, is among the new arrivals. It is love at first sight, and Aria is head over heals! Much to her disappointment, he is their new division officer but despite that, the attraction is actually mutual. Rha' and Aria are now faced with a predicament; follow the orders of the military or allow themselves to immerse in a forbidden love?Complete

Return To Reach
So this is based a few years after the death of Caden and this story follows a new spartan who shows up out of nowhere with no memories of who she is or where she Came from, Chief begins to see something in her he hasn't ever since the death of his closest friend and lover. But eventually she regains her memories about where she Came from, and it threatens to ruin everything she has strived to achieve. This also has some relation to red vs blue so yeah. Also I better point out that this takes place roughly after halo 5 only the storyline I'm messing around with so Cortana isn't bad in this you have been told. Ok so I lied in the last book about lemons but I'm warning you guys again just in case I get bored with how the book is going and want to spice things up ok? Also be warned there will also be swearing so if anyone is sensitive to any of these I advise not to read this book!Complete

Among Us

"The murderer isn't out there, The murderer is among us." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emily was glad to be part of the space program. Finally, she could leave her polluted Earth and start a new life on Planet X. Her crewmates seemed chill. Each had their own quirk, their own personality, but they were a team.

HALO: RE-birth
"John-117, aka the Master Chief has always been the galaxy's prime number whenever trouble arises. No enemy dare stands in the way of the Chief and all tremble at the sound of his name. The battlefields clear as the villains fall one by one at the hands of the last remaining original Spartan. It's high time we change that." says Commander Daniel Westin, the UNSC's leading officer of intelligence and science. Though his government trusts their "perfect solider", Westin sees flaws of an older system. A system that needs to be abolished and its hero replaced. Enters Cheza-013. Cheza's sole purpose in life is to be groomed as a main candidate to replace Master Chief. She, along with several other children, have been hidden and trained away from the public eye. They have no other option: kill and replace the Chief to fulfill a dark coup within the UNSC, or die. It's as simple as that. But a voice calls out. An angel with eyes of blue and gold and wings of steel that span an entire planet. "SAVE YOURSELF FOR THE OTHER ONE WHO HAS COME BEFORE YOU..." it repeats in Cheza's dreams. Surrounded by adults she can't trust , and harboring a secret so ludicrous that no one would believe it, Cheza begins running down a road with more twists and turns than her young body can hardly keep up with. The end is too far away, but at the end somewhere waits Master Chief.Complete
