As some of you may know from reading one of my recent posts, I have started a new book: "Halo: Absolution". I don't feel the need to tell you the plot, but if you click here, you will find the synopsis. This isn't the real synopsis, but my website is down and this was similar, so we'll go with it. When my website is back up, I'll change the link

Also, this story is just for complete fun. I've never read any Halo books, thus, there may be some differences. If there are and you notice when my site is up, just inform me, tell me what it should be and I'll change it.

This will not be published. It's just pure fun!

However, I wish to write a Prologue or Preface. So, here is where you, the Bungie.net Community, comes in. I need you guys to answer a few questions.

1) Where does the last H3 mission take place.
2) What building do they go into (don't tell me one with a Halo control ring)?
3) Why does Guilty Spark betray them?
4) What does MC set off?
5) Why does MC not make it through the portal?
6) Is the planet in the Legendary ending (it's blue and starts glowing) special?

Thanks in advance.

It would probably be easier to play the game?

But cos i'm nice...
1) The last mission takes place on the replacment for alpha halo, the one you destroyed in Halo CE.

2) The building that they enter is the Halo controle room, where cortana uses the index to activate the ring.

3) Guilty spark betrayes them because the Halo is not yet complete, and fireing the Halo now will cause it to blow up!

4) MC only fires the ring as it was intended to be used, but because the Halo was not finished, it shook itself to peases and blew up!

5) MC does not make it through the portal because, when the Halo blows up, it damages the Ark, wich in turn, is no longer capable of keeping the portal open, and so it closes just when the frigate is half way through, sending the front (with the arbiter) back to earth, and leaving tail end floating in space.

6) The planet in the legendary ending is probably a sheild world (not onyx), but it has yet to be confirmed by bungie, or 343I or anybody whom write th novels.

Well, I don't have it anymore because iy got messed up...that's why I'm asking

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

1. It takes place on the new Halo ring created by the Ark's forges. It was meant to take the place of the first Halo that masterchief destroyed.
2. They go into the Halo control room.
3. Guilty Spark betrays them because Johnson was about to activate the Halo prematurely, which wwould destroy the Ark.
4. Masterchief activates the new Halo.
5. Masterchief doesn't make it through the portal because the slipspace jump only teleported half of the ship.
6. I'd say it's only special if 343 studios decides to do something with it. The only reason Bungie created "The Legendary Planet" was to either end the series on a cliffhanger or allow 343 to continue the story.

Well, sorry to be a bother, but since I've never read any Halo books, what is a shield world?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

If you're diving head first into Halo fan fiction, you really should know more about the lore.

1) The final mission of Halo 3 takes place on the rebuilt Installation 04 (Installation 04B).

2) They are in Halo's control room.

3) Spark betrays them because the Installation isn't finished yet, a premature firing would destroy the Ring and Spark would be left without an Installation again. At this time, Spark is rampant.

4) John activates the Halo Ring, it fires prematurely and collapses in on itself, critically damaging the Ark too.

5) He does.

6) The general consensus is that (from the final terminal) the Legendary Planet is the place where the Forerunners fled to after reseeding the galaxy and giving humanity the Mantle. Mendicant Bias sent John there to prove to the Forerunners he has atoned for betraying the Forerunners 100,000 years ago.

The blue glow is the sun rising over the horizon.

A Shield World is a planet designed to be a shelter against the Halo Array. The world itself is comprised of trillions of Sentinels, within the core of the planet is a portal leading to a Micro Dyson Sphere encased in a slipspace bubble of compressed dimensionality.

I'd like to say that 343 betrays MC because MC wants to fire the Ring without it being fully completed, which would destroy the Halo Ring. 343 cannot let this happen, because it is against his programming, so he tries to kill the Master Cheif, despite him being a Reclaimer (human)

I though the general consensus was he DID get through but Medicant Bias derailed him and sent his half somewhere else?

If he didn't make it through:

1) Why is he so far away from the Ark to where he can't see it?

2) Why can we see a nebula in the distance when no such thing can exist in dark space? (space between galaxies)

3) How did Halo not kill him?

4) Medicant Bias TOLD the Chief that he'll be protecting him on the path ahead in the last level, indicating <MB did in fact send him somewhere else.

Case in point: the Chief DID make it through, but MB warped him to another system.

Interesting. Never heard that one before. For my Prologue, though, I probably won't tell whether he made it through.

If you don't know what Medicant Bias is, this might help

In short, he's an exceptionally powerful Forerunner AI that betrayed them and destroyed them once the Gravemind convinced him he was the ultimate in biological evolution and the Forerunners were preventing the natural course of life. But 100,000 years later, he sees the error of his ways while being controlled by the Covenant in the Keyship and tries to help out the Chief. In what way, we do not know.

I'd strongly suggest you read the books, or failing that, Halopedian, to get a good image of the current state of the Haloverse so as to improve your story.

I'm sure the legendary planet is on another galaxy.The forerunners didn't stayed in the milky way galaxy.

Ok, go to halowiki, read up everything on there, really, you should play all of the games, read all of the books to get a general feel, making it a more sound fanfic, this isn't nessisary, but it would help give it the halo feel, rather then someone just writing it.
Plus, this has been done many times, the basis for your idea that is.

It took you this long to act on it? With that amount of time, I'd of had a complete plot, finished novel and had it published! 4 years ish?

Well, it's written and planned (you should see all the sheets on it), but I have a lot more books up my sleeve as well. I've planned all of them so when I'm done with one I can start a new one. And it's also partially written: I've cut out so many parts, added so many things (characters/development/plot twists etc.). I've also edited it a million times. It's nearly done, but I will then have to type it all and post it all seperately (sorry for spelling). There's also a few drawings (full-color) as well.
Finally I have a lot of after-school stuff that's kept me busy. I'm not the greatest at sticking to one thing.
So yeah, it's taken a while. Mine will be pretty good though (hopefully better than others)!

Update:: The book is nearly complete (with the final edits). Once I figure out how to fix my website, I'll start posting.
