I kinda wrote this as a big F you to 343 for the ending to Halo 4 but I have had immense fun creating this new ending/alternate universe kinda. Some familiar faces will appear and funnily enough it is actually destined to turn into a romance.

Master chief, a soldier, a legend Having just defeated the Didact, he should be dead after all a HAVOC mine detonating in your face will do that but he didn't die he was saved by Cortana but she couldn't stay with him, she had essentially died. But John is placed back into the world of the living only to be greeted by a strange new form and a possible chance at a new life.

I don't know if I need to but I'll do it any way. All rights to the Halo franchise belong to 343 industries a subsidiary of Microsoft studios.

Big thanks to my proof readers- Sollace, Zepherno and a few nameless friends, these guys really helped me write this, so thanks you guys your awesome.
