3 The Emperor’s Arrival + (R-18)

It had been one month since Luke has arrived back on the Ark with Cortana by his side. Over the course of the month, the two have improved their relationship with one another. Now besides that, improvements have been made on the Ultra Super Star Destroyer.

Apparently, there is so much extra room on board a ship of this size when you cut down all the extra systems. Luke doesn't need multiple massive life support systems when the only crew on board who breaths in the air is himself in Cortana.

Now of course he would set up multiple smaller ones as back up but he has a lot more extra space to fill in. Luke mostly finished the construction and all that was left is to replace the extra space with more useful things such as Weapon platforms, shielding, armor, and everything else.

Luke's current side project was filling in the ridiculous amount of fighter support as he currently didn't have much. The fighter was a mixture of TIE's and Z-1800 EXOATMOSPHERIC MULTIROLE FIGHTER aka Phaeton.

The new TIE fighters as well as their variants such as TIE/fo space superiority fighter, or simply known as the First Order TIE Fighter, TIE/sf space superiority fighter, aka the special forces TIE Fighter, TIE/vn space superiority fighter, aka the TIE Silencer, First Order TIE Bomber, like the bombers used by the Galactic Empire, the First Order's TIE Bomber had two pods, but this time with angular wings similar to the TIE Interceptor.

Each one was outfitted with short-range phase teleport drives belonging to the Z-1800 Phaetons. This gave them the ability to dodge at high speeds, this worked on every variant.

Besides this, Luke was also doing his best at keeping track of the timeline. Just like in the game, the same elite was picked as arbiter. Luke knew this because he may or may not have hacked into the battlenet a few times for practice.

Eventually Luke decided to head back to his ship after doing some stuff on the Ark, today was a special day for Cortana as he felt that they've gotten to know each other enough. Cortana honestly didn't find much to do while on the Ark so she preferred to stay on board the ship in her/Luke's room.

The duo pretty much slept in the same bed, Cortana over the past month has tried and tried again to get Luke to doing something but unfortunately, it never worked. While she was laying in bed she noticed that Luke was coming to their room.

Once Luke arrived he looked at Cortana with a smile and spoke.

Luke: "Hey Cortana, I've got another gift for you and it will be around tonight. How's your day been so far?"

Cortana: "Another Gift? I already said that I have gotten plenty from you so you don't need to do anything. The best gift is waking up with you in the mornings. My morning has been well, I mostly check on you through the security cameras to see what you are doing."

Luke: "Well just like I said last time when I help create your body, I want to. Just relax and wait for it. If you want you're always welcome to come along, I'd never turn you down when going to a place you want to see."

Cortana leaped towards him as he was walking towards her and wrapped her arms around him. She always enjoys having hugs and would get them every chance she could have.

Cortana: "Hugs are always nice aren't they? My skin is super soft as well so it's all the better haha. Can I get a little hint towards my gift?"

Luke: "Hugs are indeed nice and I'm always down for more, we can stay like this for a while if you want . I'll give you a small hint, it's tonight haha."

Cortana: "Wow that is such a useful hint, Luke..."

Luke just smiled as he moved towards the bed and fell on his back bringing Cortana with him. Cortana could not be any happier than this, she already knew that if anything were to jeopardize her happiness with Luke then she would eliminate the problem at its roots.

If the problem was the UNSC then she would destroy humanity, if the problem was the Covenant then she would destroy all their races.

After the duo continued their hug for an extended amount of time they separated and began spending time together.

Luke: "So I began wondering if you would like to come with me to visit Earth in a few days. Now it's not exactly Earth as it's more of Earth's orbit, you don't need to worry because your shields could take an almost endless amount of damage. I might have gone a bit overboard so you will be fine as long as you don't take multiple rounds from a ship then you will be fine."

Cortana: "Why go back to that place? Why not just stay here and be happy?"

Luke: "It's just something different you know? You keep saying that you hate John as well as the UNSC. Why not go there and join the party that's about to happen there? I head that the UNSC and Covenant are throwing a surprise party."

Cortana: "What do you mean? The covenant is going to Earth?"

Luke: "Yeah but they don't know it's humanity's home planet. There is something there that will open a portal that brings them here. I wanted to know if you would want to crash the party or if you wanted to wait for them here."

Cortana thought to herself for a good minute before look back towards Luke and answering his question.

Cortana: "I guess it's time for you to show your real status towards the Galaxy. Do you have what, The largest ship in the Galaxy that can more than enough to take on a fleet alone, an advanced robot Army that does not tire? Honestly, if you stay here four a few years you could take over the Galaxy in one sweep."

Luke: "We will need to leave soon then, it will take a few days to fly to Earth and if my calculations are correct then we will arrive a few minutes after a full-scale battle starts."

Cortana: "Well I'm clearly here so I'm ready when you are. Guess we will have to wait for the gift then."

Luke: "Oh, you'll still be getting your gift. I just need to pay a visit to 000-Tragic Solution but after we will be heading over there."

Cortana just gave him one final hug before letting him head out. She began wondering what her gift could possibly be but all she would be able to do is wait until tonight.

Luke was currently on a video transmission as he watches TS appear.

Luke: "Prepare the Ark for a defensive status. The portal on Earth will be located soon and if somehow something slips through then I want you to make sure the Covenant or the flood can't get on this installation."

TS: "I will begin immediately, thank you for the intel Reclaimer."

Soon Luke started to notice a lot of sentinels move about. He even decided to leave behind a few of his troops to fight the covenant and possibly the flood off.

Luke then returned to his Ultra Super Star Destroyer and even stopped by the Kitchen to grab a dinner for himself and Cortana. He decided that tonight they would have some steak as well as a few side dishes.

Luckily Cortana is quite front of steak as they were the same in that regard. Once the food was finished he brought the plates with him and made it to his room.

Luke: "Dinner is Served! We have steak, mash potatoes, and macaroni!"

Cortana got up and grabbed her plate only after telling him thanks. While they ate dinner they also continued to watch TV. They both continued like this until it was 'dark' out, Cortana liked the lights that simulated the sun meaning the further the day goes on it will reach its peak until it's night time.

Luke turned the lights back on as he looked over towards Cortana, he got off the bed and spoke.

Luke: "Alright stand up, time for your gift haha."

(R-18 Begins)

Cortana who had a look of confusion did so. Once she was standing up she watched as Luke came towards her and to Cortana's absolute shock and delight she was picked up by her ass while Luke began kissing her.

Cortana quickly wrapped her legs around Luke as she could feel her 'Heart Rate' increased by a noticeable rate. She soon lost herself to the pure bliss of kissing Luke and wished for it to never stop.

She was soon brought out of it by her falling back onto the bed as Luke pulled away. Cortana wasn't hiding anything as she was already playing with her breasts. She often saw Luke staring at them so she became proud of them very quickly.

Cortana: "So have we gotten to know each other enough? It's been what? A month?"

Luke: "Yeah, So what do you say? Want to become a pair? I'm will what about you?"

Cortana: "Do you even need to ask? I've been ready since we first met each other. Let's stop talking! I waited a month to experience what is about to happen and I can't wait anymore!"

Luke just laughs as he looks down towards Cortana's perfectly shaped breasts. He then proceeded to fondle one with his left hand while began finding the other with his right while sucking it as well.

Cortana felt absolutely amazing, she never expected that her chest would feel so good when Luke played with them. Cortana had basically Zero knowledge of Sexual activity's as she was a military AI meant for on the field assistants. Due to this she easily started to moan out in pleasure.

Cortana: "It's feeling great... Don't stop please..."

Luke noticed that she is rather sensitive when doing pleasurable things and decided to let Cortana be the boss. For now... While he continued to fondle her breasts and played with her nipples he soon felt them become hard while her breathing started speeding up.

Luke could already feel Cortana tightening her legs around his waist. He also felt her getting wet but apparently, she didn't even notice as she was smiling out in pleasure.

Cortana then slowly began pulling Luke's clothes off but was only able to get his shirt off before he escaped from her legs. She then watched and felt him kiss his way down lower and lower until the amazing feeling was suddenly much better.

Cortana quickly started to moan out in pleasure as she placed her hands on top of Luke's head. After a short while, she soon started feeling something coming and it felt so good. She began wondering what the feeling would be once it's there so all she did was give in to the pleasure.

Soon Cortana began to squirt and felt as if she entered heaven. She felt so good at this moment she wished it never ended. Unfortunately, she felt the pleasure began dying down after a few moments and spoke.

Cortana: "That felt so good... Can you do that again?!"

Luke just laughed as he wiped his face and once he finished doing that he spoke up.

Luke: "Of course I can but the question is if you would want that or something so much better haha."

Cortana: "It can feel even better?! Do it then!"

Luke: "Sure but I'd think it's only fair if you returned the favor no? I relieved you so mind doing me? I'll make it worth it after haha."

Cortana might have not known much about sex but she could obviously understand what her lover meant. She then looked towards the bulge within Luke's pants and began undoing his belt and pulling his clothes off eventually.

Cortana's face slightly smiled as Luke's 10-inch meat was raging on hard in front of her. Luke sat on the bed as Cortana slowly cat walked closer towards the large rod and finally grasped it. Cortana then used both of her hands to stroke it up and down but eventually decided to use her mouth.

She opened her mouth and began taking in as much as possible and when she was unable to she would pull pack only to go in once more. She soon learned that she could also use her tongue which she would continue doing so.

Eventually Luke felt he was going to finish soon so he decided that it was time to punish Cortana for teasing him with her sexy body for the last month. While she continued sucking she heard him speak.

Luke: "Remember when I said I would return all your teasing back to you tenfold?"

Before she could do anything Luke put his hands on her head and began thrusting his hips as fast as he could all the way. This, in turn, caused Cortana to widen her eyes as she started gagging, strangely enough, she felt good during it. She felt his incredibly hard rod began throbbing as he continued thrusting into her mouth until he finally exploded.

Luke started cumming inside Cortana's mouth which she instantly loved. Only thing was that it really wasn't her mouth that took it as it went straight down her throat for a short while due to Luke building so much up.

As Luke pulled his rod out of her mouth she instantly started coughing but wasn't mad in the least. She found sex way too interesting and wanted so much more. Luke who saw that she didn't mind quickly flipped her on her stomach.

He then proceeded to drag her ass off the edge of the bed leaving her at a perfect 90° angle. Luke then shoved his still hard rod deep within her pussy. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, Cortana's body wasn't created with a hymen so she didn't have to experience the first time pain.

Luke thrusted in and out of her repeatedly while all Cortana did was lay her face on the bed and was moaning out. She instantly noticed that this felt so much better than before as Luke refused to stop.

Soon after, Cortana felt the feeling coming once again and started bracing herself for the great amounts of pleasure that about to hit her. Unfortunately, she didn't take into account of Luke finding her 'G Spot' that she didn't even know about. She felt herself squirting as the hard rod continued thrusting inside of her.

Cortana had a silly smile on her face because she was just hit with wave after wave of pleasure. She was slightly brought out of it due to Luke thrusting at a quicker and harder rate.

Luke was about to burst his second load so he turned her over back onto her back and used his body as a leg support for her as he thrusted hard for one last time before pulling out and exploded over her stomach all the way towards her face.

Cortana was just weakly laying on the bed with a stupid smile as she never expected to feel such an amazing feeling. Fortunately, Luke was still going strong and put it right back inside of her as she moaned out some more.

Cortana: "This is a amazing... don't stop..."

The two proceeded to enjoy themselves for the next couple of hours. All that could be heard was the sound of wet slapping skin and moaning. Eventually, Cortana wanted to take the lead so she made Luke lay on his back while she hoped onto him and inserted his rod into her. Luke watched as Cortana was bouncing up and down rather hardly and reached out and started playing with her breasts in the process.

Cortana: "Does it feel good Luke? Because I feel so fucking good for me!"

Cortana didn't let up as she bounced quicker because she felt as if she was about to cum, she also could feel Luke's rod ready to burst as well so she went as fast as she could until she slammed down one last time as she felt Luke cum inside of her while she squirted.

She then fell towards his chest with Luke's rod still inside of her and slowly spoke while also trying to catch her breath.

Cortana: "It... Feels... great... when... you... cum... inside... me..."

The duo finally felt satisfied after going nonstop for the last few hours. After taking a short break to get their breath back, Luke spoke.

(R-18 End)

Luke: "I have a question, are you even able to get pregnant? I was finishing on your body because I didn't know if you could or not but now that I did finish inside I'd like to know."

Cortana: "Unfortunately my body is not able to, I do know how we could have a child one day though. We just need to merge part of our AI code and let it become something new and young. We can later give it a body as you did for me."

Luke: "I'm all up for having one but I want to settle down first. No hidden parasites, No stupid cult, just absolute peace. I wouldn't want our child to have to hear about war almost every day."

Cortana: "You have a point plus I'm not ready to be a mother, I just want to be with you and do things that we both like. How far away are we from Earth?"

Luke: "Still a long time, why?"

Cortana: "Oh I just was thinking about round two or maybe go for round three haha."

Luke and Cortana then spent the rest of the way there having sex until they were only an hour away from reaching Earth. The two lovers were currently standing in the shower cleaning their bodies.

Cortana's body especially due to her enjoying it when Luke finishes on her. She also ended up drinking a lot due to blowing him every so often.

Cortana: "That was the best night of my life, haha, you do know that you did a number on me right? My body is sticky from for finishing on me and I think I still feel some inside me..."

Luke: "Well at least you loved it. Whenever you want to do it just tell me and we can go at it, there were a few things we could try next time to relieve our selves."

Cortana didn't respond for a few moments due to washing the shampoo out of her hair so Luke decided to help wash her body but mostly her breasts. Once she finished washing the soap out she spoke.

Cortana: "Can you tell me one? Also, you love my breasts, don't you? You always grab them when you can."

Luke: "Well depends on are you feel during, you have another hole so I could always shove it in there haha. Of course, I do there amazing! They fit within my hands perfectly and they feel so nice!"

Cortana was just looking towards Luke as he suggested that they could try anal next time but would she be okay after it?

Cortana: "I don't think my ass could take your rod, Luke... I will still try it as I'm wondering what it will feel like but you just big haha."

Luke began kissing Cortana but he wasn't trying to have more sex or anything he just honestly to god loves her and wanted to kiss her. Cortana equally enjoyed the kiss as they eventually separated.

Luke: "Kissing is also nice, but I don't know is it better or equal to sucking on your breasts. Your moans are cute so who knows haha."

Cortana just rolled her eyes as she just enjoys the relaxing hot water while Luke was 'massaging' her chest. Unfortunately, such times must eventually come to an end as they needed to heat up and meet on the command bridge.

After drying themselves off they grabbed their thing. Luke grabbed his armor as well as some forerunner weapons while Cortana was grabbing the armor next to Luke's.

You see Luke created Cortana a very defensive suit and it was almost a copy of his but hers was more suitable for a woman to wear. Luke's Armor glowed the standard orange while Cortana's was blue, she also grabbed two SMG looking weapons. Unfortunately, when Luke saw this he spoke.

Luke: "Not those, pick something else."

Cortana who had a confused look on her face spoke to him.

Cortana: "Why? Is something wrong with them?"

Like sighed out and grabbed the Forerunner SMG, what Cortana didn't know was that this was a prototype that hasn't been successful yet... Like moved towards a built-in firing range and took aim.

Cortana was standing close by and watched as Luke pulled the trigger for something dangerous yet funny happened. The recoil was so high due to ammo and fast rate of fire that Luke instantly lost control over the gun and went front aiming straight, to aiming upwards.

Luke: "You are more than welcome to use them but maybe you will get lucky and hit someone if we need to shoot things."

Cortana just laughed and grabbed an automatic pistol as well as a rifle. One thing she noticed was that all the weapons were basically Forerunner based unless Luke was working on a prototype such as the SMG from earlier.

After the duo geared up, they moved towards the bridge and started talking.

Luke: "I don't care what happened to them so everything is up to you. Want to attack? Maybe just watch? Destroy the portal to the ark?"

Cortana: "Honestly I want you to show everyone that resistance is futile, no amount of help will stop you, that kind of thing."

Luke: "So become an Emperor and everything's mine Huh?"

Cortana: "In a way yeah."

Luke: "Then that would make you my Empress haha. I'm beautiful, loving, sexy, Empress!"

Cortana: "So what exactly will be done once we arrive?"

Luke: "Well an Emperor needs to take kingdoms taxes every so often so we will take all their technology of course! Resistance will be treason and shall be executed on the spot once those people start fighting back."

Cortana: "Don't forget the SPARTAN program as well, also you have to be 100% sure that you will be perfectly fine."

Luke: "I know, I wouldn't want to leave you so I'll definitely make sure I'm okay. Unfortunately, we didn't go grab the Guardians yet so after this, we will head to a Forerunner planet with a grumpy warden."

Cortana happily nodded her head as they were moments away from arriving on Earth. Cortana was even told that onboard the Ultra Super Star Destroyer was an EMP/Scanner. The device itself is just a massive missile that detonates an EMP followed by a very powerful scanner.

The EMP will knock out all defenses of internal systems while the scanner does what it does best and copy's everything down. All Luke needed to do was launch multiple missiles and wait for the free tech.

**UNSC/Covenant**

As for the UNSC, they were having just an every other day until a covenant fleet arrived out of nowhere. Besides this, a few notable individuals were on board an orbital defensive station satellite and giving awards out to people.

John was also one of the people receiving a metal and everything went on as it should have been until alarms began starting to alert everyone on board. Those who were in charge of giving out alerts immediately began informing everyone that a fleet of covenant ships have exited slip space and are heading directly toward them.

As this became known people began setting up whatever defenses that could muster while the Station's MAC cannons began charging.

A different thing could be said for the covenant however, they were expecting an old Forerunner world not a UNSC fleet waiting with orbital defenses available.

The Prophet of Truth discovered the location of Earth after the Fall of Reach, but withheld knowledge of this discovery from the rest of the Covenant leadership. To attack the human homeworld, he ordered an assault fleet to secretly assemble at Unyielding Hierophant station in the Tau Ceti system.

It only took a few moments before the first shots were fired. MAC cannons of different sizes began firing from stations and ships towards the Covenant fleet. While the Covenant ships began falling back they started launching multiple teams of boarding parties towards the orbital defenses.

After awhile of both sides fighting to the death the UNSC noticed that some are their orbital stations began exploding from the inside. Of course, the replacement AI given to the chief already considered this.

Yes, the Master Chief was given a replacement after Cortana ditched him while on the Installation. This AI was called Eric and unlike Cortana, was a Male set personally and body.

Just like in the game, Chief made his way towards a bomb that was brought onboard the station he was on and after a lot of covenant corpses later, Chief was asking for permission to send the bomb back but suddenly something started happening.

Both the UNSC and Covenant began having their scanners go haywire. They could pick up a large gravitational wave coming from an empty location only for the scans to say something is their or perhaps coming?

Before either side could figure out what was happening a massive ship that dwarfed all others appeared out of nowhere and began firing countless missiles into densely packed parts of space that had both Covenant Ships and UNSC Ships.

Even when both sides immediately took action after seeing the unknown ship they failed to defend themselves as all the unknown payloads exploded in a spectacular blue light of electricity followed by an orange light touching everything it could from ships, weapons, stations, everything.

Once the EMP disabled the two fleets they were left floating in space as both sides were scrambling back and forth trying everything they could to gain power back to their ships.

Luke who was the instigator of all this could not decide if he should destroy the portal hidden under Africa or if he shouldn't. He then looked towards Cortana trying to see if she had any thoughts on the matter.

Cortana: "Blow it the hell up for all I care, I want nothing to do with Earth anymore. Oh and if we find John I want to shoot at him a couple of times because he always almost got me killed!"

Luke began turning towards Cortana before he spoke.

Luke: "I can Always kill him for you. I doubt he could survive an orbital strike from my ship."

Cortana didn't want that, she felt it would be too quick. She wanted John to understand that there is absolutely nothing he can do to stop her and Luke. Eventually, Luke was notified that all his EMP/Scanners went off successfully and was currently searching and filtering everything he got such as MAC cannons and ships, weapons, so on.

Luke: "Then I should just destroy the portal then. Without it, people can't just invade my temporary base of operations. There is something I want to check afterward though."

Cortana just nodded and stayed by his side as they soon began moving towards Africa.

**UNSC POV**

Today was just not their day, first, a fleet of Covenant ships started attacking their homeworld but now an unknown has arrived and completely disabled both their fleets within moments of their arrival.

The only bright side of this situation was that now the Covenant was unable to do anything but the same is for them. High command was currently pulling their hair out in a moment of insanity as they didn't know what to do.

An unknown ship that makes their largest look like a small frigate's just single-handedly disabled all there forces with a strange EMP type weapon that their ship should have been safe against.

The Covenant was having similar thoughts as they were trying to figure out who or what just entered the battlefield as it clearly wasn't friendly. Both sides then watched as the massive triangle-shaped ship began moving towards Earth.

Luke was heading directly towards the portal located within Africa and his ship began taking fire from the planet's surface. Honest, it was kinda hard to miss such I massive target that was lowering into their orbit.

Unfortunately for them, all their attempts were failures and they watched as parts of the ship's underbelly began glowing only to view large amounts of lasers Fire towards the surface.

Luke had absolutely no idea on where the portal was so he decided to fire at everything in Africa. It didn't take long before finding the portal. The Covenant as well as the UNSC watched as the unknown began foreign on the hidden structure underneath the planet's surface.

On the Covenants, side was 'Truth' screaming towards a barley functional screen as the 'Divine Object' that he has been searching for began getting destroyed.

Truth: "NO! The sacred device! Do something and stop that ship from firing on it!"

Sadly for 'Truth', he was unable to stop what was happening. He was forced to watch as the structure was destroyed bit by bit until all that remained was a molten metal which Luke of course started gathering because why not? Free resources for him.

The UNSC was beyond confused as they didn't even know why the unknown destroyed the hidden structure underneath Africa. Now they were still pissed due to all the lives lost in the process but they still couldn't understand why it happened.

Luke remained within the bridge as he could see Africa burning to the grown. He didn't even feel anything even when he knows that he just killed countless innocent people just to find a portal.

Luke: "Want to come with me to see something Cortana? I don't know what will be there but it could be interesting."

Cortana: "You say it like you know where you are going but you don't know what's you are expecting to find."

Luke: "I don't. I could find myself in an empty field or an old house, maybe a top-secret facility? Who knows what would have been built."

The reason Luke was talking about this is because Halo is just based on the future isn't it? Shouldn't there still be records of him in the past? Family? His house? Parents house? Himself?

Luke felt it was kinda weird thinking that there could be an old dead version of himself but that feeling soon faded as he just muttered out that he is himself and nobody else.

Eventually, the duo went towards the dropship they normally used and began flying towards the surface. Now the UNSC was not just going to let this happen willingly as they began firing towards it with whatever working tech they had available.

What they didn't account for was Luke having the force. Luke easily dodge the incoming danger by sensing it in the force and eventually made it to the surface. Cortana looked around and only saw that they were somewhere in 'America'.

Cortana didn't say anything and only followed after Luke, She wasn't the only one as multiple marines teams were sent towards the unknowns. Marines were not the only one's going as there were multiple Spartan Teams along with them.

Luke could already guess something like this would happen as he couldn't think of a reason that the UNSC or ONI would let an unknown ship fly down to their planet's surface after coming from his Ultra Super Star Destroyer.

Luke: "Guess we should hurry along then. I rather deal with our incoming guests after I find what I'm looking for."

Cortana just nodded her head and began walking with him as Luke had the shuttle leave. Eventually Luke started noticing a few similar things but due to being so 'high tech' it was a bit hard.

Eventually Luke found something that gave him quite the laugh, apparently, McDonald's is still active even after so many years. The only problem is that it seems the area has been evacuated and could only give them props for their speed.

Luke: "Want a burger? I kinda want to see if they improved or not."

Cortana: "From here? Now? You do realize that there are Marines and Spartans closing in on us right?"

Luke: "So? It's not like they can do anything to us. I made sure of that especially when it comes to your amour."

Cortana: "Aw look at you making sure that I'm safe haha. Well if you I want to then let's try one."

The Duo then proceeded to enter the now-abandoned fast food restaurant and went past the counter. Luke noticed that it was practically spotless with nothing needing cleanup and soon found his reason as to why.

He saw a small drone cleaning the food and guessed that society had robots to clean up after themselves. Cortana just followed him to the freezer as he didn't want a pre-made burger.

Luckily they found some paddies that were delivered today and began making the food. Luke may or may not have followed the instructions on how to cook it their way and once he finished he sat Cortana down and handed her a burger.

Luke: "If it tastes like shit then let me know because I followed their guide on it."

Cortana: "What? Then this will definitely be terrible! Honestly, after eating your food for so long I think I can't eat other people's cooked food anymore..."

**UNSC POV**

Multiple teams of Spartans and Marines have been dispatched to locate the unknowns and one team, in particular, found them eating inside a fast-food restaurant. The team consisted of a single Spartan and four ODST's.

Spartan-671: "I've located the unknowns, sending their current location now."

The ODST's meanwhile was looking at their surroundings while occasionally glancing at the Spartan who was looking down a sniper scope.

???: "Spartan-671, Are you sure it's them? We currently don't have a description but you sound sure that you found them."

Spartan-671: "The Two unknown are wearing a strange set of what seems to be armor. I've seen countless designs from both us and the Covenant but I've never seen this kind. There is one human male as well as a blue female, they are currently eating a burger. Correction, the blue female spit the burger out. Orders?"

The one speaking with the Spartan was just an ordinary military official who was just sending orders to different teams but now that he found something he began notifying higher command. Eventually, an order was given to move available teams towards the location.

Spartan-671 just continued to observe as he waited for reinforcements. He watched as the blue humanoid alien try other dishes only to spit it out, the male however seemed to enjoy it slightly but continued eating slowly.

Strange things sometimes happened as the Spartan would feel as if the male was eyeing him but he was quite a distance away so he didn't believe he was spotted. If he was then surely they would have moved right?

**Luke/Cortana POV**

Cortana was looking at Luke as he seemingly stared off into space so she decided to say something about it.

Cortana: "Am I boring you? Was it my reaction to the food?"

Cortana wasn't saying this in an angry tone as it was more of a worried one.

Luke: "Of course not, we just have a guess snooping on us. From what I can tell he is a Spartan from his armor."

Cortana: "Is it Chief?"

Luke: "No, I still remember his armor and unless they can change the model and color then it's somebody different. That and he has yet to charge over and get to you."

Cortana: "Like hell, I would willingly go back! They would get whatever information they needed then they would purge me!"

Luke: "Well you say it like your still an AI, you have a body now so they can't exactly do that... It's also impossible to hack you as I made sure of it, hell I couldn't even if I wanted to."

What Luke just said was a lie, he could without a doubt hack into Cortana systems but he would never do that unless she was being messed with by another ROB figure. What Luke didn't know was that his 'ROB' made sure that she was not able to be influenced by anyone else.

After Cortana tried and spit out everything they started leaving, Luke quite enjoyed it as there was a noticeable difference compared to what he remembered them tasting like but it was good nevertheless.

The duo then began the journey once more while Luke was putting a small part of his mind to study two force abilities he wanted to use. The first was Kylo Ren's freeze ability while the second was force Lightning.

Now don't get Luke wrong, he wasn't the largest fan of the newer movies but he will admit the ability and ships shown were pretty cool. His goal was to copy Sheev Palpatine in the 'Rise Of Skywalker' by using force lightning to destabilize the ships above him.

Luke: "Cortana I have a question..."

Cortana: "About?"

Luke: "Does Star Wars ring any bells?"

Cortana then started snooping around the internet and oddly enough when way back but didn't find anything.

Cortana: "There is nothing about 'Star Wars' on the internet, why?"

Luke: "Just wondering, Looks like I will need to copy the movies and we will have a movie night. Wanna know something funny?"

Cortana: "Of course!"

Luke: "You know how I like stealing technology right? I stole some from 'Star Wars' but I didn't get all of them... Can I copyright claim it? Maybe I should copyright claim the republic, CIS, and all of those factions..."

Cortana was just confused as Luke never explained that he could travel the multiverse and Luke noticed her expression and felt stupid for not telling her earlier.

Luke: "I'm stupid... Don't be mad okay?"

Cortana: "Why would I be mad? You're not cheating on me, are you? No, we have been together 24/7 so that's impossible..."

Luke: "What? No! I just forgot to tell you I can go to different universes! I'd never cheat on you!"

Cortana was dumbfounded by this, she knows there are many theories on alternate universes but now her boyfriend is claiming he can go to other universes? With this knowledge, she asked the very first question that came to her mind.

Cortana: "You better not have someone else from another universe! How many have you been to! Are their other women you talk t-"

Luke: "Let me stop you right there, This is the first universe I've entered. Do you want me to explain everything while we walk to where we are going?"

Cortana: "YES!"

It was safe to say that she wasn't very happy with what she has learned but what she was about to hear would make her feel bad.

Luke: "I guess I'll start at the very beginning. I was born in 2001 and grew up in America, I would say that I've had a normal childhood but that would be a lie. The only thing I've ever known was boredom, due to this I rarely found friends and of course never had a Girlfriend. I just found it boring, my life continued to be dull and I wasn't surprised by anything. Eventually, I tried finding hobbies which led me to games but it only slightly gave me enjoyment. My life continued like this for years until I went hiking to see if I could find enjoyment from it but I found something so much more! I died!"

Cortana: "What the actual fuck? Everything else I can sorta understand kinda but you died?!"

Luke: "Let me finish please, yes I died but instead of going to an afterlife or anything I was standing in front of a higher being you could say and he told me that he accidentally ruined my life so he 'helped'. He then gave me the ability to go to different universes aka the multiverse and this was my first stop and I'm so glad it was. Not because of the technology or anything but YOU! Cortana you have given me so much joy and happiness to be with you, this is why I wanted to wait when we first met. I wanted to experience falling in love, now I knew I already liked you but feeling it first hand is great! This is why I'm so protective of you... I don't want anything to happen to you."

Cortana felt happy but also sad. She was happy that Luke truly loved her and everything but she also felt sad for him. She didn't want to be like Luke and only see everything in black and white, never having something to look forwards to, and so on. She was soon struck by a scary thought.

Would Luke take her with him when he leaves or will he grow tired of her after so long?

Cortana: "What will you do once you leave?"

Luke: "Well first I would want to go somewhere and joke around, I don't care about others so killing doesn't bother me. I would probably fire the Halo rings someplace else to have the Galaxy to myself..."

Cortana was slowly losing hope and almost began crying but was stopped when she heard the rest.

Luke: "Once I have the Galaxy to myself I can start our family! I don't know how 'Merging are AI code' stuff works but I'm sure you will help me when the time comes. You are my one and only empress so if you're okay with it then we will rule universes as a family! Isn't that amazing? Multiple universes for me, you, and our children!"

Cortana wiped away all doubts and only smiled as she moved closer and leaned her head on Luke, they continued talking, all the while they were being followed.

Eventually, the Duo along with 'extras' arrived in an old housing complex. Now even when it is described as 'Old' it is far more newer than anything he has lived in back then. Luke soon stopped in front of a specific house and just looked at it.

Luke: "Well it's not 'my' house but this is definitely the spot, did they just tear it down, or maybe 'I' never lived here... Well, that is enough down memory lane, ready to leave to find something else?"

Cortana: "Ready as I can be, Where to-"

Before Cortana could finish speaking Luke forcibly grabbed her helmet and dragged it towards the side as a split second later a sniper bullet passed. Luke could only hate himself as he always knew that they were being followed but to fire?

Perhaps it was Luke's small amount of his old self telling him that he didn't need to kill every person he sees but now he felt it was required. The rage he felt towards himself soon transferred towards the 'hidden' attackers.

Luke felt the force channel through him like never before as he gripped the air and yanked back powerfully causing multiple figures to pull pulled towards them even if something blocked their path. Cortana watched in awe as three teams of Spartan were forcefully in a stasis like a manner within the air.

Within the three teams, there was a total of five Spartans per team meaning that Luke currently had fifteen at his 'mercy'. Luke's hands suddenly started sparking with electricity but he did want them to die by this. He wanted them to die slowly.

Cortana watched as the Spartans began grunting due to the pain they were feeling. She watched as their armor slowly began crumbling into themselves as it began appearing smaller and smaller.

Eventually, the Spartan stopped grunting as it was replaced with screaming. Of course, they were use to pain but surely not the feeling of their entire body slowly being crushed right? Luke then turned to Cortana who was silently watching as they were slowly being crushed to death.

Luke: "What are your thoughts on what I'm doing?"

Cortana: "Well I don't care about them so I don't really care. I didn't care when you destroyed Africa so why would I care now? That and they shot at me so screw em, I know that my armor would have saved me but still..."

After a while, the screaming stopped and only multiple bloody hunks of metal remained.

Luke: "I'm debating if I should just destroy this planet or not after we grab the Spartan program stuff."

Cortana: "Just destroy it if you want to, I no longer care about this place. Where ever you are in my home haha."

Luke nodded but he planned on using the guardians to do it for him. This means that once he got everything from Earth he would then gather all the guardians and pay a visit to the warden.

After setting off to the location of the Spartan program that Cortana was happy to give out the UNSC had to send out another team to locate the former one that was sent to 'eliminate' the unknown who have landed on their planet.

This team in question has the iconic Master Chief who was happy to undergo this mission. His thought process was akin to 'What other Unknowns could be as powerful as Luke? Wherever Luke is, I'm sure I can find Cortana with him.'

Once the new team arrives after a while of searching, all they found were crumbled suits of bloody armor giving them a clear idea as to why they didn't respond.

John: "This is Chief, We have a report on why the Spartan Teams didn't respond. They're all dead Sir."

???: "Noted, send your location so we can pick up the remains. You are now tasked with continuing their mission."

John: "Yes Sir."

After John's short report he then started continuing the former team's mission of locating the targets. As he began following the trail the ones in question were driving to the location that Cortana provided. Luke 'borrowed' a nice looking vehicle as he didn't want to walk or fly as he was able to spend more time with his girlfriend.

Cortana: "So after everything is done, what's next?"

Luke: "We will go to another universe, I don't know where we could end up but it should be fun. Honestly, I just want to build my ships and destroy others' stuff."

Cortana: "That sounds fun, I like the part where they won't be able to stop us haha. Is it weird that I prefer staying on the ship rather than being out on the field? Like if you don't need anything then I'm usually in our room or walking are the ship."

Luke didn't know where she heard the part about being unstoppable but she was still correct. The duo just continued to talk about random things than to future plans and so on. As everyone says, when you are having fun then time flies past rather quickly as they arrived at a UNSC site.

The duo knew that they were in the right place as they were constantly being shot at by the people there. Not surprisingly, all the bullets were ineffective at piercing their armor as it just bounce off or simply was crushed.

Luke and Cortana didn't even care as whenever they passed someone who tried shooting them more they would just blow the brains out with a well-placed shot from their own guns.

Luke: "Don't you think that it's funny that they keep shooting at us when it literally does no damage to us? I mean I'm not even actively looking for someone to shoot but they keep killing themselves by doing this..."

Cortana: "Well what does it matter? They will die eventually so what the difference if they die now?"

Luke just nodded his head, meanwhile, a woman was watching all this happens through a security camera. This woman was of course Doctor Halsey as she already alerted the UNSC that she was under attack by the unknowns.

After a while and a lot of people dying, the duo soon arrived within the Doctors office where she was sitting. To Luke's surprise, Cortana retracted her helmet letting Doctor Halsey see her face which was in a shocked expression.

Doctor Halsey: "Cortana!?"

Cortana: "Yup! Surprised aren't you."

Doctor Halsey: "How!? You have a body now?!"

Cortana: "All thanks to Luke here! After he saved me from you he gave me a real body! Honestly, it's one of the best gifts he has ever given me, how are you? Terrible? Scared?"

The doctor then looked towards Luke but he didn't take his helmet off. Moments later she turned back towards Cortana with a 'caring' look in her eyes.

Doctor Halsey: "Cortana what are you doing? Come back home please! Don't you see what you are doing? How many people did your friend here kill! You are supposed to save them not kill them! What would John do when he sees all of this!"

Cortana: "Your joking right? Come back? Why the hell would I do that? I'm so happy whenever I'm with Luke, he makes me happy and so what if I kill a few people? What's the difference if they die now instead of in the future? John can go die off somewhere for all I care, honestly, I want to kill him for almost getting me killed every time I was forced to go on a mission with him!"

Doctor Halsey then looked towards Luke with an angry expression on her face as she roared out.

Doctor Halsey: "You turned Cortana into this! I don't know who you really are but this will come back to you one day! All the people died for what?!"

Luke: "I think you are mistaken Doctor, I did not do anything to her. She is just who she is and now that she is no longer forced into her slavery she lashes out. What did you expect when you make an AI? They would simply follow all your orders? AI's have their own self and you throw them into battle for your own lives. Even if I didn't step in you would kill yourselves eventually, it's basically in your DNA. In all life, every race wants to stand at the top but in that quest you ruin yourselves."

Doctor Halsey wanted to speak up in protest but Luke was finished.

Luke: "Greed, Anger, Jealousy. All races have this in common and it is the reason you all are doomed to destroy yourselves. Hell, those emotions are the reason you're at war with the covenant, I'm sick and tired of all this uselessness in my universe. Precursor, Forerunner, Ancient Humans, Current Humans, The Covenant. They all wanted to remain the top dog but where are they now? Ruins! The Precursors turned into the Flood because of the Forerunners, The Forerunners were basically killed by the Flood, Ancient Humans experience De-evolution and were sent back to their homeworld to play with pointy sticks because of the flood, Currently, Humanity is at war because the Covenant was not chosen to be the successor of the Forerunners! It never fucking stops!"

Cortana and Doctor Halsey were shocked by this sudden outburst.

Luke: "War, War, and more damn War! All life works toward War! I AM DONE! I will end this stupidity once and for all, one race and one empire, I will rule everything and my creations will be all that remains! There can not be any war if there is nothing to wage it for. Technology? They will all know it. Resources? They won't need it as they will have everything. Discrimination? There won't be any other race to discriminate against. Loyalty? They are programmed to always be loyal. Every universe out there will one day be mine and when there is nothing left then my Empire will last till reality itself dies!"

Luke didn't understand what just happened because one moment he was perfectly normal and the next he was yelling in anger at the stupidity of war. Honestly, he didn't see the problem in his goals, sure he would kill all life and only himself and Cortana remained but he could just create a new life in a way.

Human-AI hybrids, in every single universe, sounded pretty damn good to him. He would slaughter countless beings for an eternity of order, is that so wrong?

Doctor Halsey: "You are insane! No wonder Cortana became this... Thing! You claim to rule-"

Before she could finish talking, Cortana straight up put a bullet through her brain. When she did this Cortana had a scary look in her eyes and spoke.

Cortana: "Don't you dare call Luke insane, he is right... War ruins everything so why not end it with one final war? War across all universes to end all wars, one race, one empire, total order..."

She then pushed the now deader than dead body out of the way as she began downloading all the files related to the Spartan Program.

Cortana: "You might want to bring some units to grab all the equipment here. It could be useful or you could just build new ones later."

Luke was already doing this but didn't say anything. Now he honestly planned on doing what he stated earlier by killing all the other races in the multiverse to end all wars but he didn't know if he really should. What happens when it's only him and Cortana left?

No one to 'fight' and no one to meet, all there will be is just his kind. While Luke was thinking to himself about this, ROB was amused but slightly worried as well.

ROB: "If you really do that then a lot of other beings you call 'ROB' will be upset... I'll be able to protect you from them but you might meet their 'toys'... This will be entertaining haha!"

Back with our future warlord, Luke's units have already arrived but the same could be said for the UNSC reinforcements that were called in. Unfortunately for the UNSC, they were getting dominated, they could rarely drop troops due to the TIE's destroying their pelicans and other transports. Their lock on missiles was rendered useless due to the TIE's dodging with their phase/teleportation ability.

While all this was happening, Luke and Cortana were having a chat.

Cortana: "What will our race be exactly? Just saying that we are part human and AI just doesn't sound... Cool?"

Luke: "Honestly I never really bothered to think about it, I guess it would be of some use even when it doesn't really matter. What about just sticking with 'Reclaimers'?"

Cortana: "That was just given to us though, Shouldn't we name ourselves?"

Luke: "Well I don't really care about it but since you do I'll leave it up to you. It was your idea after all."

When she heard this, Cortana started thinking up a name. She didn't just want to say something stupid like 'god race' or 'Android' but eventually came up with one and spoke.

Cortana: "What do you think about 'Beyonders', you said that we will cross universes so we will be beyond their expectations."

Luke: "Then we are known as the Beyonders or the Race of Beyond."

Cortana: "Saying it out loud makes me feel like it's cheesy..."

Luke: "We can always change it if you think of a better one haha."

After a while of collecting all the equipment, the duo was ready to leave. After walking up the ramp leading into their dropship, Luke and Cortana heard a familiar voice shouting towards them. This voice belonged to Master Chief but Cortana just waved at him and immediately continued walking into the ship.

Once they took off and began leaving Earth's orbit Cortana suddenly cursed as spoke.

Cortana: "I forgot to shoot at him... Well, I'm sure we will see him again as he is rather persistent whenever he is searching for something."

Luke just laughed as he thought it was funny. He liked Cortana's personality and was glad they eventually met one another.

Luke: "I could always go back and let you use the lasers onboard this ship if you really want to shoot at him."

Cortana: "Maybe next time, I just want to get home and take a bath. Do we also need to go to that one planet you were talking about, genisos? Genisel?"

Luke: "Genesis haha, there we will find my general for my army's as well as the locations of the Guardians. Titans Wrath might be better but they look epic."

Cortana: "Fashion is more important?"

Luke: "Yup, if they end up running into something they can't deal with then I can always bring in my flagship."

Cortana just smiled as they arrived on the Ultra Super Star Destroyer. She immediately went towards their bathroom to take a bath and managed to get Luke to join her with little to no effort required.

After the oversized tub was filled with hot water they just hopped in and relaxed.

Cortana: "This is really nice, isn't it?"

Luke: "It is, after a long day of moving about and killing annoying things it's nice to take a hot bath with a beautiful woman in my arms haha."

Cortana: "Aw haha, well you super lucky that this beautiful woman is all yours."

Luke: "I am haha."

(Slight R-18, no sex in it though.)

Cortana then gently grabbed Luke's hands that were wrapped around her waist and pulled them towards her breasts which Luke immediately started fondling them.

Cortana: "I also know that you love my breasts as well."

Luke: "Can you blame me? They are just perfect in my opinion and I'll never get enough haha. I'm sure I could play with them all day and still want to continue playing with them."

Cortana: "I don't know about that. Eventually, you would start ramming your rod into me which would lead on into doing it again and again and again."

Cortana then started feeling something rise between her thighs as she spoke again in a teasing voice.

Cortana: "As much as I want that inside of me I think we should just relax tonight. I'll let you continue to playing with my breasts if you want haha."

Luke: "Probably for the best as I would not stop for a hours and we still need to wake up in the morning."

Cortana: "Stop... The more we talk about it the more I want it..."

After a few moments of silence, the duo laughed and continued their relaxing bath and eventually got out and got in their bed. Cortana immediately got on top of Luke and got comfortable.

Luke: "So I'm your body pillow now?"

Cortana just smiled and gave him a deep kiss and once she felt satisfied she then flipped over onto her back and placed Luke's hand on her breasts again while saying an excuse.

Cortana: "You're hands are warm and my breasts are cold, warm them up a bit please?"

Luke: "That was a terrible excuse... I'm not complaining though."

Soon the lights turned off completely as the couple slept together under their warm blankets.

———————————————————————

A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter but I need to put this here as it is a bit too long to post it where it's supposed to be. I'd like your guy's thoughts on this chapter, was it fun to read? Should I focus more on the different factions? Should I change their race from Beyonders / The Beyond and if so what would you guys think it should be. I don't know if I'll focus too much on R-18 and if there is some then it will probably be short. Any suggestions that should be introduced? Should I allow other reincarnations to show up in the story such as gamers? Ideas are always welcome as long as it does not derail the story planned out. Goodbye everyone and I hope you have a good day or night.
