Avonna's soft, kind smile remained as she spoke again. "I have heard what the patrol has reported. You are referencing the Old Earth, of what was known as the Milky Way Galaxy, correct? Then I must inform you that you have done that simply travel to another galaxy. You have traveled through time itself as with the present day, Old Earth is gone. It was destroyed about four hundred billion years ago."
She paused for a moment. "I'm sorry. To learn that what was once your home is no more must bear a great weight with it."
She then continued after another pause. "You are now in the Venturian Galaxy, the last refuge of the Humans. We, the original inhabiting races, welcomed them with open arms. You are currently in the Nexion System, the solar system closest to the center of the Galaxy. There are five other systems with habitable planets: Helios, Celestora, Egale, Venion, and Sol Incineron. We are currently in a war that has raged on now for millions of years. It has been called the War of Eternity. Despite this, most Planets are unaffected by it."

She stopped speaking, to allow the Spartan to process what she has just said.
"And what is your name, sir?"

"Hehehehe." The Reaper made a low laugh.

"A challenge." The Reaper pulled out a couplle of special kunai, tipped with a green substance, known to most as Detonite.

"Justice shall be served this day." The Reaper then pulled out more of the kunai.

"Whether you like it, or not." The Reaper threw the kunai, embedding themselves in a couple skeletons before exploding, shattering, then disentegrating them.

It then leapt forward, stomping the ground, causing the walls to bend and for time itself to be disrupting, making the skeletons float in stasis, allowing him to start exploding each and every one of them caught in the stasis.

"What I remember when waking up was me being on some island. Some guy named Cicero found me, and told me I was somewhere called the Mirror Sea. He took me to a big towr thing, which transported me to the another planet, where I met Nero." Mima explained.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

John was taken aback by what Lady Avonna had said and his breathing became shallow as he looked to the left, trying to figure out how such a thing was possible.

"That-.. that can't be right. I was only in cryosleep for three hours. Even if that was the case, i-it should take longer.", John said, as everything around him felt more and more like a dream.

"We.. couldn't have traveled through time, could we?", Cortana asked John inside of his helmet, unable to be heard by the outside world.

"I really don't know..."

After a couple of moments, John took a deep breath and answered Lady Avonna's question.

"I am UNSC Master Chief Petty Officer Sierra-117.", John said to Lady Avonna.

John had to find out something. What year was it? Were the Covenant still here? What about the Forerunners? John took a deep breath and asked Lady Avonna more questions.

"Do you know about the Covenant and the Forerunners? Do you know about the Human-Covenant War?", John slowly asked Lady Avonna in a serious tone.

The girl let out another frustrated scream, which seemed to originate from the very void of space itself. Suddenly the rift opened briefly again and the girl appeared again, her eyes seemed crazed while she smiled with a wicked grin. "You play tricky! My turn!" And with that she disappeared again, but this time the string and substance that the skeletons were using gathered together and formed a life-size replica of the Reaper. The shadow seemed to have the faint image of control strings coming from its body. It moved like a puppet slowly towards the actual Reaper with it's scythe held in its somewhat limp hands.

All eyes turned to Nero. "...uh..." he coughed and held a hand to his glasses, holding them up as he tilted his head down. "I...might have known about that...uh...ya...Also it's not the Cicero you think it is. It's like...uh...Cicero....uh....Baggins. Cicero Baggins....ya..." He took a few steps back away from the light.
Aion shook his head. "Well there's credibility in the story at least. So, the Mirror Sea? I happen to be familiar with the legends..." He looked up to the sphere. "I have some...personal experience...with the Mirror Sea. So if you say you came from it, then I believe you."
"That bastard, Revere..." Joe then muttered under his breath. "So this murder, Revere, kills Aion's family and then dumps Aion's unconscious body in the South Sea and he wound up traveling through the Mirror Sea. And of course, one does not simply travel across the Mirror Sea."

"So, Sir..." Avonna paused as she seemed to struggle with remembering the whole name that the Spartan presented to her. "...is there perhaps something shorter you go by? Forgive me for asking, I am still but mortal."
"And to answer your question, The Archives would be able to provide you with the information you seek. I am not personally familiar with specific affairs of Old Earth, but I do know that the Humans have shown great valor in times of great peril. We, the first to be of Venturia, refer to the humans as 'the ones with the strength of will derived from both mind and heart.' ...Even when hope was all but lost...They turned the hands of fate to that of new fortune."

John thought for a moment and spoke again, this time giving out a name that many people called him.

"I'm also known as "Master Chief" by many of my peers.", John said.

John then thought for a moment about what Lady Avonna had said and spoke.

"I guess I never really thought of it that way. We were nearly driven to extinction and simply did what what needed to be done. We simply did what we needed to survive.", John said, but soon went back on track to the question he wanted to ask.

"Could you show me to the Archives? I need to know if I'm really in another time period.", John said in a polite tone.

Mara was traveling to the closest planet as her ship was searching for whatever planet that could be safe to land and refuel in supplies for her.

Eating a fruit from her storage, the bioroid was enjoying such a nice object "To believe that such fruit could survive all this years, its firm and solid form, with a tasty juice inside of it.." she said taking a bite from the apple

The white haired had a good stah of the fruit in question as she enjoyed them since her childhood on the colonies

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Avonna nodded. "Of course, Master Chief." She then stood up and her wings seemed to grow opaque as the spread out behind her. She walked slowly down the steps past John and stopped in what seemed the center of the room. She held a hand out and a small orb of blue light formed. She then moved her hand around it and then the holographic screens ran along either side of her creating a sort of corridor. She then gently carried the orb with her as the screens rapidly scrolled through information. "You wish to seek what was the outcome of this war? The screens stopped on the Human-Covenant War. Avonna looked at one of the screens. "It seems the Humans succeeded in the end." She then created another smaller screen and accessed a small date calculator. "And the year, in Earth years, is the year 519,941,212,552,013."

John knew about the outcome of the war, he helped end it. He was about to speak until he realized that she had his history. As soon as he heard that she had his time period's history in the Archive, his heart sank. Now, it was certain. John was no longer in his own time period. Everything he had once known had withered away and become dust. John, Cortana, and the Longsword were the only things left from his time. He was a dinosaur, a relic from long ago. As this wave of thoughts washed over him, John quietly sat on the steps and buried his helmeted face in his hands.

Avonna disabled the Archive screens and sat down next to John. "We have legends and stories here that tell tales that many believe to be simple bedtime stories for children. But they have a relevance to all things. Those that are blind to it live in ignorance." she looked at the Spartan and placed a hand on his shoulder. "The tales may provide a source of hope for you." She smiled. "There is a story of a place which exists neither in the past, present, or future. It is said that one could travel to other times from there." She looked forward again. "Even in the dark eclipse, the sun still shines, it is merely hidden from us."

A small blip on Mara's radar appeared. It was a lone fighter traveling towards the Alcyon Warp Gate.

As Mara looked at the lone fighter, she was confused "A lone fighter ship? thats odd, they usually roam in groups" she said to herself and traced the source from wherever it came from

The source led to the freighter´s ships location, but now there were debris of the remnants of the ship

("What the hell happened on the ship?") she thought now worried of the civilians. Maybe the lone ship was a rogue or has an explanation

("Even the military being violent doesnpt go destroyin civilian ships.. I got to find out what happened") the bioroid prepared a new route towards the warp gate
