Ben POV

"...You guys good," I asked my team

"...I'm gonna kill them all," Emile said as he pulled his shotgun out

"Get in line," Jorge said

"Woah woah okay thats enough," I said, stopping them,"look I know your all pissed, but whats done is done."

"How can you be so calm," Kat asked me,"they killed you! Those assholes killed you for the stupidest reason!"

"I know Kat, but I'm here now and thats all that matters to me. Right now, I want to focus on finding Remnant and make it a home for us and our forces."

"As much as I hate it, he's right," Carter said,"we need to go there go and establish a base and colony for our people."

"Ggrrr fine," Emile said, sheathing his shotgun,"but I swear to God I will kick their ass for one single insult."

"Agreed," they all said, making me deadpan

"You guys are crazy," I said

"We were recruited by a galactic government at the age of 4 years old and experimented on with guessable drugs," Jun said,"along with training to be the deadliest soldiers in the galaxy with the intention of being sent on suicidal missions with little to no chances of survival."

"...Touché."

"Okay then," Owen said as he sighed,"let's get back to the mission."

Soon we were around the holographic display of the ships, so far we have around 20 ships, 10 Frigates, 2 Corvettes, 3 Destroyers and 5 Carriers. Seems those two gods gave us what we needed to carry supplies and personnel, enough to build a colony. I sighed as MaCallen walked to the front and tapped the console, soon he pulled up Remnant, making me raise an eyebrow

"It showed up in our databanks," he said with a sigh,"anyway, we calculated that we will arrive at Remnant within 1 Earth day."

"That fast," I asked him

"We've actually been here for a week straight," Emile said,"Kat was the first one here."

"Cause a Needle rifle decided to go through my head," Kat said with a shrug, making us grimace

"Okay then," I said as I rolled my eyes,"back to the debriefing."

"Right," MaCallen said as he zoomed on the planet,"we have no real intelligence yet on the planet, but thanks to those gods, we have some basis on it. So we were hoping you can tell us where to begin."

"Fair enough," I said

I looked at the planet, feeling some form of...nostalgia? I hummed as I turned the planet around, checking it out as I try to form a plan. I kept spinning as I see one continent that could prove beneficial to us, if my memories are coming back, this is the Dragon Continent. It was mostly abandoned cause of Grimm but still able to host villages, but lacked proper security

Thus leads to bandits, Grimm and White Fang to attack and raid them for years. The Kingdoms won't do anything cause of any reason they can give, lack of funding, troops or they just don't want to waste time and Dust to help. Grimm, White Fang and Dust, must be the local wildlife, terror cells and resources on the planet, hmm might need to get a notebook

"Here," I said as I tapped the planet,"the Dragon Continent, thats where we'll start."

"Dragon Continent, seriously," Emile asked me

"Hey don't look at me, I didn't name it. It's mostly inhabitant by villages who try to expand beyond the Four kingdoms, but sadly that means no real protection from the threats looming over them."

"Okay I'll get a Pelican ready for you Spartans," Owen said,"anything else?"

"We need to repair our armor and get weapons," Carter said as he tapped my right shoulder,"might need to get an upgrade there Six."

"Understood sir," I said,"where can I find the closestarmory?"

"Follow me, I know where everything is," Kat said as she walked out

I nodded as I followed her through the ship, seeing the state of the repaired vessel and shocked to see it was repaired. From reports, it was destroyed during the Fall of Reach, one of the firsts to fall when the Covenant came and attacked. I hummed as we came into the armorer station, where I see multiple armor stations that disassemble and reassemble our armor

We walked down as we see one kid, who looked no older than 18, trying to fix a pair of MJOLNIR shoulder pads, which he seems to have trouble. He groaned as he turned around and yelled as he saw us standing right behind him

"SON OF A BITCH," he yelled as he crashed into the floor,"HOW ABOUT A LITTLE WARNING NEXT TIME?!"

"Sorry about that Morgan," Kat said,"but we need to upgrade Six's armor, his a little in need for a new one."

The kid looked at him as he studied my armor, looking it over as he grabbed my helmet and inspected it. He frowned as he deadpanned me and sighed, clearly a little irritated by me, which I didn't react much due to me facing worse and my emotions are still a little suppressed. He sighed as he turned around as he tossed the helmet to the side, making me growl

I liked that helmet.

"Okay then, I got some armor parts here for you to use, no idea how it got here," he said as he looked at me,"take a look at them and pick what you want."

I nodded as I looked at the massive selection he had, hmm so many choices, so little time. I hummed as I picked some and set them to the side, as I see Morgan and Kat working on her armor and her prosthetic. He looked at me as he saw the parts I selected, which he hummed in curiosity and looked at it, seemed he agreed on my selection.

"Okay get in the disassembler and we'll get started," he said

I nodded as I stood in and let the progress start

Timeskip

Ben New Armor:

"Nice choice," Kat said,"red suits you."

"Thanks Kat," I said as I stretched my arms

"You completely wrecked the helmet," he said as he groaned he looked at my old armor,"not to mention the power cell used to power up your shields and the basic functions of your suit. Do you have any idea how much this costs dude?"

I looked at him as I grabbed my helmet and placed it on, soon making the latches lock on

"Tell that to the Covenant," I said

"Ugh," Morgan said as he tossed the burnt cell away,"never mind then, now go grab your weapons."

"Okay then, also thanks for the upgrade kid."

"Yeah yeah, go make sure our new home is Covie free!"

I chuckled as me and Kat went to the armory, where I see a few squads of Marines and ODSTs all arming up with their weapons. I walked to the lockers and there I see a multitude of weapons we use, thou I see some I haven't see in a while, like the BR-55 and M7s, wow I haven't seen them in a while. But I picked something I more use to

MA37 Assault Rifle:

M392 DMR:

"Your favorites," Kat asked as she had an AR and M6G Magnum

"Yep, though I wish I can use the Sniper Rifle," I said as I added some grenades,"but this works for me."

"Agreed, come on let's move."

We walked out as we see the Marines and ODSTs eyeing us, I was use to it since Marines were suspicious of us and ODSTs hated us. I don't blame them, we didn't have a good reputation with working well with others, but eh I got over it. We walked out to the hangar bay, where I see Carter and the rest talking with some troopers and such.

"Nobel Two and Six reporting for duty sir," I said as we saluted

"Welcome back Nobel Six," Carter said,"ready for an assignment?"

"Dying for one sir."

"...Hahahaha," Jun and Emile chuckled loudly as Jorge sniffled a laugh

"Seems you've picked up some humor while you died," Carter deadpanned me

"Eh once you've seen the other side you need something to satisfy the disappointment when you get there," I said with a shrug

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA," some laughed as they held their stomachs

"Okay then," Carter said, but failed to hide the smile,"you and Jorge will be taken to this location."

He points at the south of the Dragon Continent, which I nodded, it was close to Mistral...close to my former home. I stayed silent as he went over the mission details, as I stared at the map, trying to remember my past. Sadly still murky, but I digress and focused on the mission, which was a simple scout and recon mission, look around and see what's there

'Easy, though I am wondering on how much has changed,' I wondered as I spin my knife

"Six, you'll take 5 Marines with you and two warthogs," Carter said

"Copy that," I said

"Okay, you got your assignments, now move, we gotta find a home soon for our fleet."

"OOO-RAH," the Marines yelled

Me and the Marines assigned to my team, who were all experienced during the Human-Covenant War. All were Privates with a Sergeant Frist class leading them, a Jackson Green, a man armed with a MA37, as he looked at me as we took off in the Pelican. I breathed as we flew to the planet, which I had to admit was nice to see the green lands and bright blue oceans

"Sir, mind telling us what we'll expect down there," Jackson asked me

"Certainly," I said,"once we touch down, we have to watch out for hostile creatures called Grimm, they are monsters that sense negative emotions and go for it."

"Grimm, like Brothers Grimm," Private Pendleton asked

"Something like that I guess. Next is the location bandit population, local raiders and killers, they target the local villages which have little militias to defend but sadly they get trampled on."

"Sheesh sounds like hell," another said, he was armed with a sniper rifle

"Sounds like my kinda party," a Private armed with a BR-55 and a SPNRK rocket launcher said,"oh we didn't introduce ourselves! Im Duke, resident demolitions expert and ladies man. This rain of sunshine is Crash."

"Do you have to tell everyone that story?!"

"Duke and Crash, nice to meet you," I said, and looked at the others,"and you lot?"

"I'm Isabelle, but you can call me Izzy," the only female said

"Im Private Pendleton," the young one said in an southern tone

"We call him Target," Duke said with a laugh

"Target," I asked

"He accidentally ran into line of fire with Covenant forces in one of our engagements," Jackson said, making the other chuckle,"well I'm Jackson Green, but call me Jackson, easier that way."

"I see, well next is the local Huntsmen population. They are usually hired to kill and destroy Grimm, but they can be hired to defend villages, which isn't a lot since most tend to flee, sell the village out and die trying to show off."

"They sound like assholes," Duke said

"They are, they're egotistical, selfish, arrogant, and so conceited they believe they're the only solution in the world. Even some think that Huntsmen are only thing needed in the world and everything else makes you a pussy. Then there's the White Fang, a group of radical terrorists that try and fight for equality and independence, more like killing Humans cause they see them as inferior."

"Ugh this is gonna be a pain," Izzy said

"No shit, I think they'll attack us on sight cause we have different armor or won't answer to them," Crash said

"Especially Atlas military," I said,"they're the only remaining military presence on Remnant after the Great War. After the Treaty of Vale, three Kingdoms dissolved their militaries to preserve peace, while leaving one for security reasons."

"...THATS FUCKING STUPID," they all yelled loud

"Alpha Team, we're close to the RV," the pilot said,"get ready to drop off with the Warthogs."

"Copy," I said,"everyone lock and load, get ready to roll out."

"Yes sir," they said

Soon we were on the ground with the Warthogs, with me driving, Jackson in passenger and Crash in gunner. I looked around as I see the emerald green leafs falling, the winds bashing against my helmet and the exposed parts of my armor. I didn't know why, but I shook my head and drove the Warthog, going through the terrain, seeing the vast lands we can use

"Sir I seen smoke in the air," Izzy reported

I looked to the side and see a huge pillar of smoke, about 5 miles southwest of us. I remembered there was one village close to the ridge where boats dock and unload supplies for them to trade and sell to other villages along the coast. I hummed as I turned to the pillar of smoke, along with the other following close behind us

"Whats the plan now boss," Duke asked as he gripped the handles of the turrent

"We go help the villagers, secure the area and help those in need," I said,"Jackson radio Trafalgar and ask for medical, there'll be people needing medical aid."

"Copy that sir," Jackson said as he tapped comms,"Trafalgar this is Alpha squad, we are responding to a possible hostile attack. Requesting medical teams on our coordinates, relaying them now, over."

"Understood Alpha squad, medical response on route," the radio operator said

"Copy that, over and out. Medicals on the way."

"Good, okay Marines let's help those people," I said as I stepped on the pedal

3rd POV, Dagon Village

"KILL THEM, TAKE ALL THEIR SHIT AND GRAB THE WOMEN," a man in robes yelled

In Dagon village, they were under attack by the Gimmjaw bandits, a group of Grimm worshipping fanatics that dressed up as Grimm to strike fear and terror into the defenders. It worked a lot, as the Hunstmen ran at the first sight of them, leaving the villagers to defend themselves against the horde. They managed to hold them for a bit, but the gate fell within hours

Right now a giant crocodile man, standing at nearly 10 feet tall, was bashing one bandit with his tail and grabbed another, slamming him into the floor, breaking his neck. He roared as he looked to see some bandits trying to gun some kids down, so he ran as fast as he can and dived in front of them, taking the bullets form the guns, making him grunt

"LUKE," one boy yelled

"RUN, GET OUT OF HERE," Luke, the crocodile boy, yelled as he tail whips the Grimmjaws away,"I just wanted a normal fucking day, that to hard to ask!?"

"Yeah I know bud," Clay Carmine, a Dragon Faunus, said as he fired his rifle at the bandits,"but right now we need to deal with this!"

"Grr! They took the west gate, if we don't take that back and kill the leader, they'll keep coming!"

"Got it, but we need to stop those at the...wait, do you hear that music?"

"What music?"

They look east as they see two vechiles rolling in and coming in hot, with music blaring out loudly. The guard grew wide eyed, think the Grimmjaws had support, but the vehicles blew right passed them and went to the village center. Luke was thinking they were mercenaries, but the high tech they were using didn't support that. He was about to them and ask for help until an Ursa Major jumped on his back

"LUKE," Clay yelled and was about to fire

!RAAT RAAT RAAT RAAT!

Suddenly the Ursa head was filled with lead, making them look at who fired at them and froze at the figure. He was 7'4, wearing crimson red armor, wielding a rifle they've never seen before and stomped when he walked over to them. He aimed his rifle at some Grimmjaws charging at them, he fired in short round bursts at them, the bullets ripping through their Aura

"Holy shit," Luke said

"You okay," the armored man said

Luke froze as that voice...that voice was so...familiar to him. He thought it was just his imagination, but it reminded him of someone he once knew.

'It can't be...his dead,' he thought with a frown

"Y-Yeah, but who the hell are you," he asked the man

"We'll explain later, right one tell us how to win."

"We need to secure the west gate and I have some detonators in the field," Clay said as he flew down,"I would have if that dumbass Hunstmen didn't say he handle it, said I would ruin his limelight...then proceeded to run like a bitch!"

"Sigh, God damn those show off cunt sucking show offs," the armored man sighed,"okay, Dragon boy."

"Clay."

"Clay, you and your buddy will follow me to the gate and secure it, then Clay...blow them up."

"Hell yeah," Clay said as he smiled but he caught the man's second weapon,"da hell?"

"Use that, works better then standard gear. JACKSON, COVER THE EAST GATE WITH THE REST!'

"Copy that said sir," Jackson yelled as he moved the Warthogs to the gate,"alright Alpha squad, defend this gate!"

"OOO-RAH," they yelled as they ripped into the Grimmjaws

"Hey whats your name," Clay asked,"better then calling you armored dude."

"Call me Noble Six, now keep up kids."

Six took off at incredible speeds that weren't even human and this made the two shocked as they tried to keep up with him. Six run and gunned as he massacred the Grimmjaws in front of him with the two catching up, barely, as Clay gunned the Grimmjaws on top of the wall. Luke, running on all four, charged ahead as a Beringel came through the gate

Luke growled as he tackled the Grimm, wrestling with each other as he threw the Grimm into the side and punched its face hard, but it roared and bites into him. Luke roared as he tumbled with the Beringel, rolling round in the open Six jumped up on top of the wall, gunning the stragglers on top, then he ran to the controls, but a huge man stood in his way.

This was the leader, Marius. He was 6'8, with black fur covering his head and shoulders, with a white mask of a Beowulf. He wielded a massive double headed axe with flames on the edges.

"You flithy mongrel, you ruined my-," he yelled

But Six pulled his knife and stabbed him in the throat, then ripped it out and kicked him hard in the side. This caused Marius groan as he fell over the edge and slammed into the floor, breaking his neck on impact. Six just looked down on the body, making him hum

"Hmm...that was anticlimactic," he said disappointed

"Damn," Clay said as he tapped on console,"you know how to murk someone huh?"

"Comes with the territory, now arm those explosives."

"What the hell do you think I'm doing?"

"FUCK OFF YOU MONKEY EATING SHIT STAIN," Luke yelled as he threw the Beringel off him

"Luke get inside, the explosives are about to blow!"

"DO IT, I CAN HANDLE IT!"

"On it," Clay said as he pushed the red button

"Wait don't," Six yelled

Suddenly one Grimmjaw exploded when he stepped on a landline

"Oh landmine," one said,"OH LANDMINES!"

"LANDMINES!?"

"LANDMINES!"

"SHIT LANDMINES!"

"HOLY SHIT THEY PLANTED LANDMINES," the sub-commander yelled

"Oh they found the landmines," Clay said with a smirk

"We walk our cattle's out here," Luke saids as he was covered in smoke and dirt

"How are you alive," Six asked with surprise

"Tough skin and crocodile scales. But it seems they've given up, they're running away."

They all looked at the running Grimmjaws, with their tails literally between their legs. Luke sighed as he dropped onto the floor, Clay groaned as he slumped into the floor, panting as he looked at Six, who was on talking on comms. He was surprised to see how he is still calm and not breathing heavy when he was wearing that fuck ton armor

"This is Nobel Six to Nobel One, we've just repelled an enemy attack," Six said as he reloaded

"Understood Nobel Six," Carter said,"we're still working on our end, so your new orders are to defend the village till reinforcements arrive."

"Copy, we have medical on route, so we'll start setting up defenses."

"Understood Six, over and out."

Six signed off as he looked at Clay, who was looking at his weapon, humming in anticipation of the gun. He wondered how he can mass produce it, since he wanted to run a weapons company that will crush Atlas cause they make shit weapons. He hummed as Six grabbed his rifle back, making Clay yelp as he reached back for the gun faceplant the floor

"Sorry kid," Six said,"but protocol dictates no civilian can copy or mass produce UNSC weapons without authorization."

"What the fuck is the UNSC," Clay said as he stood up,"never heard of it."

"Let's say we came from somewhere FAR FAR AWAY. Anyway come on, we need to find your wounded, repair damages and set up a defensive perimeter."

"Fine, yo Luke you alive?'

He poked his head out to see Luke walking in, with him grunting as he walked beside Clay, looking at Six. He was speaking with Jackson and the team, but Luke needed to know something, which made Clay wondered what was up with him. Luke marched to Six, making the man look up at him, staring at each other as Six wondered what was going on

"Can I help you," he asked him

"...Ben," Luke asked

"...How do you know my name," Six asked, ready to fight if necessary

"Take the helmet off! Show me your face, you sound like him and you said something that only he said! NOW...TAKE...IT OFF!!"

Luke growled as he leaned over Six, which made Six see a Brute in his place. Six sighed as he didn't care anymore, this kid knew who he was and just thought if he showed his face the kid would calm down. He took his helmet off and rubbed his hair, then looked at Luke, who looked shocked to see him, as he trembled as he never thought he see him again

"BEN," Luke yelled as he grabbed him into a tight hug,"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!? YOU DIED ONE YEAR AGO!"

"GAH, DOWN SHERK DOWN," Ben yelled as he felt bones pop

Wait, Spartans bones never break, so how the hell is he doing that?!

'Well...at least I feel a little less tense, maybe I should pop my back more often,' Ben thought as Luke set him down

"But I saw you die, I saw you get shot," Luke yelled in shock

"Did we know each other," Ben asked him,"sorry my memory is still hazy from being reincarnated twice."

"Reincarnated, what the hell you talking about," Clay asked

"It's a long story, anyway, what was our connection Luke?"

"You are...were my best friend back then, you accepted me when others turned me away. You gave me...a home."

"Oh I see, well look, how about we talk after I'm done? That way we can catch up on what happened."

"Sure thing Ben, man Glynda is gonna lose her mind when she hears about you."

"My...adoptive mother right?"

"Wow your totally messed up in the head."

'In more ways then one,' Ben thought with a smirk

"Well, come on, let's get to work," Ben said as he patted his back,"we have a shit ton of work to do."

"You got it man, lets work," Luke said as he smiled

Ben smiled as he walked to the others, getting ready to see what else this life has in store for him.
