Halo:Fan-Fiction

Rather than an explosion from the glassing the facility had absorbed its energy. Using the energy the facility itself transported with everyone who was inside as well. Inside the facility, a robot floated over to Six and communicated with him.

'You are the one the Original predicted, use "Absorb" on Xar' Wattin's body and take his system's powers.'

Six looked over the body and began to activate the ability.

[Notification: "Absorb" has been activated.

Inheritance: Host receives the Slave -> Flipomp

Skills Acquired:

"Flash"

"Berserk"

"Instant Regeneration"

Notice: Skills are not at the same strength as Xar' Wattins. "Absorb" can only gain so much.]

'I have a slave now?'

"Six! Where did that Elite's body go? and why are you healed?" asked Carter.

"I absorbed his system which disintegrates his body. I've gained a few skills from it that we should try out and I gained a slave?" answered Six.

Before Carter could ask Kat interrupted them.

"As much as I would like to know the skills and why you now have a slave I think the more important question is why the glassing has stopped. We should be dead right now," stated Kat.

"That's quite true. Six can you ask the robots what's going on," said Carter.

'Uh, floating robot do you happen to know what's going on?' thought Six.

'For future reference, my designated name is 434 Innocent Lighting. The facility has been transported to a new location. The Original System Host predicted that two more system users would come and the Reclaimer one would prevail. This new location serves as a trial to help you gain strength.'

'Wait so the first Host predicted me a long time ago?'

'Yes, we were waiting for you. Before you are released into this new location you should go and upgrade your system. It's strong enough to handle it.' 434 then floated away to continue with his duties.

"We're no longer on Reach. Somehow the facility absorbed the energy from the glassing and transported elsewhere. Apparently this new area should make us stronger for the future. Were in some sort of Prophecy," explained Six.

"Well, I don't care if we are fulfilling a prophecy or not. The next question is where are we?" Emile said steeping into the conversation.

"That's true. Prophecy or not we need to know where we are at. Kat and I will scout out near the front gate to see the outside since we are the freshest. Six, Emile, and Jorge I want you guys to rest up. Do some miscellaneous tasks like checking the food supply of this place." commanded Carter as he grabbed his gun and started to walk away with Kat.

"Carter, before you leave I was told to upgrade my system. Let me upgrade before you go. I don't want you guys to get somehow affected by this upgrade while you're out on the field." said Six.

"Alright, good call who knows what it'll change," replied Carter.

Around the corner was Flipomp. He was sweating profusely. Had they turned the corner they would have found him. When his ship was shot down by the covenant he made a mad dash to the facility hoping to find Xar' Wattin to tell him what had happened. The glassing started just as he made it into the facility. Flipomp is quite an interesting Grunt. Most Grunts don't understand or even comprehend battle and techniques and the same went with Flipomp but he could comprehend that staying near the strongest would keep him alive the longest. Xar' Wattin was that hope but now he's dead.

Flipomp would have to learn how to survive and fight on his own for now.

Most of Noble team was resting the mess hall. Jorge was eating a nice sandwich, Emile was experimenting with his energy swords, and Kat was reading up on the facility itself, however, Carter and Six were somewhere else entirely.

Towards the supposed foundation of the facility was some kind of alter. This alter was said to upgrade the system. As to what it was upgrading was completely up to imagination even 434 Innocent Lighting had no record of it. Six was standing on this alter with Carter standing far back in case of a reaction. The alter began to fill up with energy. It began to glow blue.

[Notification: Host can receive an upgrade from the Original. Does Host accept?]

'Yes'

[Receiving Update: ...]

[...]

[Notification: the System features that have been added include:

Shop

Reputation]

[Explanition: The shop allows the host to manifest objects for the cost of experience. Objects can range from food to anything you can think of. You can also buy skills that don't require attributes such as "Uncanny Dodge" which allows you to dodge in other directions almost like it was instinct.]

"Well? Is it upgraded?" asked Carter.

"Yeah, you guys are good to go." said Six.

Carter and Kat walked down the hallway leading to the entrance of the facility.

"What do you think we'll find out there?" asked Kat.

"It's anyone's guess really. It could be just a forest," said Carter.

The gate slowly opened. Little light showed through. It was some kind of an enclosed space. No sky. They were underneath something. The gate closed behind them and then their "Awareness" spiked. Something was here. It lunged out of the darkness towards them. Some kind of white creature with slits where eyes should be.

Kat dealt with the creature with ruthless efficiency. A quick headshot with her magnum. She turned to Carter.

"Where are we?"
