The year is September 3rd, 2537. A war over humanity's survival rages against an alien alliance known as the Covenant. Millions, if not billions, lay dead in the wake of the genocide of the human race. With limited options, and with a need to buy time for colonies to prepare themselves for the oncoming onslaught, the Office of Naval Intelligence greenlights Detachment Hoplite. Detachment Hoplite is a quick reaction force designated for Final Hour Deployments, sent in as a final stand against the alien war machine marching across the outer colony worlds. This twelve-Spartan detachment will see the worst that this war has to offer. Now deployed to Idris-07, Hoplite is tasked with crushing the stranded Covenant Army trapped on the planet surface, their invasion fleet routed before they could be picked up. If Hoplite do not succeed in crushing these ground forces, this planet is lost irelevant of the victory in Orbit.

Book 02/06 (Current Version: Prototype - Version 1.0) This story/fanfiction is a 'what if scenario' within the Sci-Fi videogame series known as Halo and is based on an original character named 'Lieutenant Serenity McKnight' that partners with the legendary Master Chief himself, after the UNSC Pillar of Autumn had escaped a Halo Ring known as Installation 04 by the help of a mysterious alien of myth and legend called a Forerunner. From this Forerunner, it pledged itself and its forces of unknown magnitude to fight the genocidal war against the Covenant, to protect humanity. The UNSC Pillar of Autumn heads course back home, to the Solar System, Earth. A big mystery slowly unveils on humanities newest ally. Will our heroes within the UNSC turn the tides of the conflict in the fates of their species? What will this alliance with the Forerunner entail to go on the offensive? All will be revealed in due time. The story is a 'reimagining' of Halo and is non-canon and is to be not taken seriously as this was an idea created back when I first played the games. Combat Evolved is the first book of my main series known as 'Halo Battle Buddies' and will lead up to the first game and beyond. DISCLAIMOR: I do not own Halo and the intellectual property belongs to Bungie, Microsoft and 343 Industries. This is for fun, and not making any form of profit of this story. IMPORTANT: This is currently a prototype and everything in this story is subject to change as time progresses and not the official release. Book Series Order: (IN PROGRESS) 1) Halo Battle Buddies: A Pilot's Journey (Halo Reach) 2) Halo Battle Buddies: The Ghosts of War (Halo Reach) 3) Halo Battle Buddies 1: Combat Evolved (Halo Combat Evolved) - 4) Halo Battle Buddies 2: Homefront (Halo 2) 5) Halo Battle Buddies 3: War's End (Halo 3) 6) Halo Battle Buddies 4: Reclamation (Halo 4) 6) Halo Battle Buddies 5: Guardian Angels (Halo 4/Halo Infinite) 7) Halo Battle Buddies 6: Spirits of Fire (Halo Infinite)
