Halo, but with an oddity.
Halo was destroyed, the Covenant was dealt a devastating blow, and the Flood were wiped out. At least, that's how it was supposed to go. Now, the Covenant intend to take the battle to Mother Earth, but the Remnants of Noble and the Master Chief were not just going let that happen. They were going to fight and drive the Covenant off their home, and pursue them to wherever they may run!
On the other hand, Thel 'Vadamee is disgraced for his failure to protect Halo. In order to keep his life, he must do the biddings of the Holy Hierarchs, the Prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret. Luckily, his closest ally, Zayda 'Zazumee was going to remain by his side. . .
The OCs Aris, Athena, and Zayda belong to me.
Halo belongs to "Bungie" and "343 Industries."
[COMPLETED] War. Sacrifice. Two inevitabilities of human nature come together once more as the human race encounters its latest Great Filter. The Covenant. A genocidal alien alliance hell-bent on the utter destruction of man-kind. A theocratic society convinced that humanity is the only thing standing in its way between eternal damnation, and ascension to godliness. As humanity quickly realizes they're outmanned, outmatched, and outgunned they call on the young and vibrant to defend their way of life. Joseph Gray. An ordinary young man living an ordinary life finds his society crumbling apart at the seams due to an ever-intensifying plague of insurrection that seems to spread faster than it can be quelled. After joining the Marines to make a difference, to bring stability to his society, he soon realizes that he's no more than a minuscule cog in a very large machine. Harvest. A major farming colony at the edge of UNSC-controlled space goes offline. Just as Gray thinks he'll coast out his short-term service in the Corps, tragedy strikes, and a new player enters the field. Now Gray must desperately juggle the responsibilities of maintaining his relationship with the girl of his dreams, raising a future family, surviving the Covenant onslaught, and most of all: Keeping his humanity. The Covenant doesn't play by the rules in their quest to exterminate humanity, and as the UNSC grows desperate, Gray's world will be rocked time and time again.
