When Marines can't do it, and there ain't no Spartan to save the day... Only the ODST's are up for the job.

Prologue: Awakening
"Chief? Chief!" A voice called out. Master Chief as he was called, began shaking his head, trying to clear his head.

"What is it Cortana?" He said, finally able to speak. He looked around. He seemed to be in a ship, not of UNSC or Covenant origin. He sighed. He didn't like his chances in a perhaps hostile area.

"We seemed to have crashed into this ship." Cortana said, her voice indicating curiosity.

"I can see that, I can also see that it doesn't seem to be UNSC or Covenant origin." Chief said, trying to move the conversation along. He was in a large ship, somehow the ship had crashed in the docking area, at least that is what the area he was in looked like.

"I know that Chief, but if this place isn't Covenant or UNSC... then you know-" Cortana began.

"No. We are not going to even think about it." Chief said calmly. "If this is Forerunner, then there will be Flood." He said directly.

"Fine. Let's just find a ship and- what's that?" She said, turning on Chief's radar. A creature walked out, with two appendeges raised upwards and was shaped like two curved blades. The head looked human, but was twisted in a monstrous shape. It's skin was rotting, and it's mouth had two more talons of sorts, and it stared directly at Chief.

Chief simply stared. It looked even worse than normal Flood. Cortana simply sighed.

"Just kill it. We're not not risking it, watch out!" She said as the beast ran towards them. Chief acted fast. He grabbed a sub machine gun of the ground and shot at it. The creature ignored the bullets and kept running towards them. Chief shot again, this time at the arms, since it seemed to be this Flood's weapons. The creature screamed in anger as the arms went off.

"The limbs, shoot the limbs!" A voice cried out. Chief shook his head and shot the legs as well. The creature fell down, seemingly dead. Chief wouldn't risk a trick. He shot the head of the monster off. He sighed, then turned to where he had heard the voice.

"What was that thing?" Cortana murmured. Chief simply walked to where he heard that voice.

"Something way more dangerous than the normal Flood." He said simply. All he found was a piece of paper which had a map, and a area that was circled. It also showed the name of the ship.

"USG Ishumura.... hmmm... do you think we should go there?" He asked Cortana. Cortana nodded.

"Yes, if this person knows anything about the ship, he or she may tell us what those... new Flood are." She said simply.

Chief nodded and began following the map. "Cut off the limbs." He muttered, and grabbed his knife. Here we go again. He thought.

Thanks, By the way, have any of you guessed which cross-over the story is in? I left one subtle clue and one big clue.


Still thinking on the first chapter, I'm still planning it out, planning on writing it soon.

I'm going to bridge it well, trust me, I've had the idea in my head for a while now..... lets just say that this may not be two worlds, but one timeline.

I got the idea from comparing necromorphs to Flood and Plasma cutters to plasma rifles....

Forerunner = Humans from Dead Space. They are much more advanced weapon wise....

It's way after Dead Space 2.

I like it. You should be lucky for your amount of comments. Hehe.

Try not to repeat the same word, btw.
"Master Chief as he was called was shaking his head, trying to clear his head."

Try to change it up slighty,
"Master Chief, as he was called, was shaking his head, trying to fathom what had happened."

I spaced it out a little, and made it less reptitive.

Other than a few minor issues, your writing is brilliant.
