Destiny's Spartan (Destiny x Halo) (FanFic)

At last, the Covenant had disabled the last of Reach's defenses and proceeded to glass the remainder of the planet. Spartan B312, Callsign: Noble six, was among the last surviving UNSC soldiers left fighting the Covenant forces on the ground. In an incredible display of heroism, Six held off an entire army of Covenant single-handedly, including Wraith tanks and Banshee air support. Showing the Covenant forces what a hyper-lethal spartan that matched the Master Chief could do.

.

But the Covenant forces were relentless, and after countless days of battle, an exhausted Six was eventually injured by heavy plasma fire after his energy shields failed. After triumphantly taking on multiple Ultra and Zealot-class Sangheili in hand-to-hand combat, Noble Six was finally overwhelmed, disarmed, and forced to the ground. Here, though mortally wounded, Six subdued a further ten attackers, succumbing to death amongst a pile of slain enemies, at the hands of an Energy Sword wielded by a Sangheili in bronze armor. Six's helmet remained on Reach, even after the planet was glassed by the Covenant standing watch as a monument to the battle that occurred there.

.

But that wasn't the end for Noble Six. No, as he fell into the void known as death, a spark ignited. A speck of light called out to him. Willing him to wake up and stand once again.

...

..

.

When Noble Six opened his eyes, he was greeted with a lush green forest with birds chirping and running water. Not a single sign of any glassing could be found anywhere. It was almost as if the forest was mythical and magical to him. Next to him, his Mark V(B) helmet sat without a single scratch on it. Its gold visor stared at him as if it wanted to be picked up and worn once again.

.

Six: "Where am I?" Six asked himself as he stood up and looked around. "This isn't Reach, that's for damn sure." He grumbled as he picked his helmet up and wore it.

.

Once his helmet was secure, Six went over his armor, finding it in pristine condition as it was when it was issued to him. His tactical/LRP chest piece was clean but empty of anything except for ammo for his magnum that was secured to his right leg, the tags of his fallen family, and a necklace Jun made for him out of a bullet. His right shoulder had the Security shoulder armor with Emile's Kukri he took in his memory and the other shoulder had the FJ/PARA variant with his combat knife. His knee armor was that of the Grenadier armor system. On Six's left wrist was an up-armored bracer that could stop an energy sword blade and his right had a tactical/UGPS. And finally, on his left thigh was a tactical-soft case.

.

After a thorough check of himself, Six scanned the trees as he drew his magnum, quickly checking if it was chambered and loaded. Watching for any movement. As Six scanned the area, he watched as a small, diamond-shaped, and floating robot flew through the trees being chased by a four-armed, bipedal creature covered in scrap-like armor wielding four different daggers glowing with some kind of blue energy. As soon as the robot spotted Six, it flew as fast as it could toward him. Bringing along the four-armed creature with it.

.

Six didn't hesitate to shoot the creature in what appeared to be its head before turning to face the robot. Six leveled his gun at the robot, unsure if it would attack. The two stood off against each other.

.

Robot: "Hello!" The robot finally spoke after a few minutes. "Are you a guardian?"

Six: "No." Was all that Six replied to it, his gun still trained on the floating robot? "What are you?"

Ghost: "I'm a ghost!" The 'Ghost' replied happily.

Six: "A ghost?" Six asked skeptically.

Ghost: "Ghosts are the companions to Guardians we have chosen to wield the Traveler's light! We're responsible for bringing Guardians back to life and helping them fight the Darkness!" The ghost basically preached. "And who are you if you're not a Guardian? I mean, I can sense the Traveler's light within you."

.

Six: "I'm Spartan B312 of the United Nations Space Command, UNSC for short. My callsign is 'Noble Six'." Six answered as he lowered his magnum. "Where am I?"

Ghost: "You're currently in the EDZ on Earth, Noble Six." The Ghost answered Six. "But, to all my knowledge, there is no such thing as the UNSC." The ghost then went quiet for a few moments. "This is one possibility. Tell me, did you die recently?"

Six: "I did. I died fighting an entire army for several days by myself. An army called the Covenant." Six answered as he holstered his magnum, seeing the Ghost pose no threat to him.

Ghost: "Well, this is only my guess but, It's possible that the Traveler brought you here when you died. But I can not know for sure as the Traveler is being held captive by the Red Legion. A militaristic group of world-conquering aliens. The Traveler must have done it before it was subdued by them." The ghost told Six.

Six: "But for what?" Six asked the Ghost.

Ghost: "I'm not sure." The ghost told Six.

Six: "What can you tell me about this Traveler, the Light, and Guardians?" Six asked after keeping quiet for a few minutes. "Since I'm here, I might as well do what I can."

.

The Ghost then began to give Six a brief rundown of what the Traveler, the Light, and the Guardians are. Then it went on to a quick overview of the Guardians and their purpose, as well as what happened recently. The Red Legion occupying the Last City. And lastly about the closest haven, The Farm. As the two of them talked, the Ghost led Six to the Farm.

.

Once the Ghost was finished with his breakdown, Six broke down what was going on when he died. The Covenant, the UNSC, and what happened to Reach. About his job as a Spartan, what he did to keep people safe, and his family. Noble Team. Carter, Kat, Jun, Emile, Jorge, and then finally him. What they were like and what their specialty was, plus how they all but Jun died saving those they could.

.

The Ghost was empathetic and was willing to support Six if he needed it. The Ghost told him about all of its siblings that it lost when the Traveler's Light was lost. About all the guardians that lost their lives permanently while defending the Last City and helping as many as they could get out safely.

.

They quickly bonded. The two of them know what it's like losing those close to them, those they considered family. After two days of continuous walking, they came across two familiar crates. Crates that Six saw too many times when he was fighting, a UNSC arms drop-pod and a Covenant crate.

.

Six: "I'm guessing these are a gift from the Traveler." Six laminated with sarcasm as he walked up to them. "The pod is an UNSC arms drop pod. The other one is a Covenant weapons crate."

Ghost: "Odd, they seem to be covered in the Traveler's light." The Ghost spoke as it scanned the crates. "Plus, they seem to be in pristine condition as well. Can you open them Six?"

Six: "Easily." Six commented as he smashed open the UNSC crate with a kick and then tore the Covenant crate open. "Done."

Ghost: "Well, that's one way to open them." The Ghost laminated. "So, what do we got?"

Six: "In the Drop pod, we have almost everything that was the standard issue of the UNSC armory that any grunt could carry." Six explained as he pulled out a shotgun and sniper rifle. "In the Covy crate, the same thing. Anything a Grunt or Elite could carry."

Ghost: "My I scan them?" The Ghost asked as it zoomed over to a [Plasma Repeater]. "I may be able to replicate them should we have the Glimmer to do so. The ammo as well."

Six: "Sure, knock yourself out." Six shrugged. "If I'm stuck in a different reality, might as well do what I can to help."

.

Ghost: "Done!" The Ghost shouted in excitement as Six finished going over the firearms. "All are categorized and cataloged along with their blueprints."

Six: "Good for you." Six spoke as he armed himself with a [DMR] and slotted an [Assault Rifle] on his back. "But we got a problem. I can't carry all of this."

Ghost: "I can store them within me now that I have completed my scans of them." The ghost pointed out. "That's why I asked in the first place. That and new things always excite me."

Six: "And if I need them? What then?" Six asked as he watched the Ghost digitize and store all the weapons.

Ghost: "I can switch them out for you when you need them." The Ghost informed Six. "Plus I can give you the weapon that best suits your scenario."

Six: "But?" Six asked.

Ghost: "But, that requires you to become my Guardian." The ghost told him truthfully. "There are perks to becoming a Guardian if you're worried."

Six: "I'm not worried." Six stopped the Ghost before it could talk itself into a ditch. "I don't mind, if I was brought here by the Traveler, then it must be for a reason. So, what do I need to do?"

Ghost: "I just have to connect to the Light inside of you." The Ghost told him, before a bean shot from its eye.

.

The beam hit Noble six in the chest. It surprised Six that he didn't feel anything when the beam hit him. It was as if he was meant to have met the Ghost that would later become his. Seconds later, the beam cut off and the Ghost had changed. Its normal bright white, hexagonal shell turned into a gunmetal grey rectangular box. Its usual blue eye turned lime green. It was as if becoming Six's ghost, the Ghost became what it was meant to be.
