Alpha Centrum System, Human vessel "Manus Celer Dei"

Major Shasui Tedeschi awoke. A dull light obstructing his view forcing him to squint through the light. Feeling a sense of stiffness he only felt during long space jumps, hating every second of his cryogenic sleep. Shasui could only replace his anger with a new sense of vigor from freedom as the Ships A. I. gave the command prompt of opening his cryogenic tube. Pulling himself off the formfitting gel bed he slept on with the swiftness of a large man in a small space. Falling onto the bench placed in the middle of the Cryogenics room he was placed in with many others from his squad. Getting all the air he needed after a month in cryo. Taking a swift glance around the room to acess the situation only to come up with an empty room and silence to boot.

"Suck it up Major" a familiar female voice said playfully. Shasui could only think of one entity that would start a joke with him the first thing he woke up.

"So I see your cheery as always, Keiko" Shasui expressing his feeling with a look that could kill a civilian. The A.I. that was modeled after the late Admirals Daughter, she died in her teen years from a powerful virus that attacked the white blood cells in her body. She was to accompany the major on all of his missions as she was the first true Powerful A.I. with a few problems of course.

"Awww, Your no fun when your crabby in the morning!" as Keiko yelled pointing a finger at tall man who was stripped of his clothes due to pains of blisters that formed in deep cryogenic freezing. The man Just shrugged and went to a locker that housed all the gear his squad mates left before going into deep sleep, along with *His* gear.

"Yeah, yeah, we all know you love a good joke when its not directed at you ya shrimp." Shasui loved messing with her, she was a cute girl in every way except when her protocol dictated something important. The hologram that showed keiko her features was a like looking at a modern Japanese school girl in some strange anime. As she placed her hand on her hips and puffed out her face cheeks as her way of showing annoyance.

"You jerk! At least I have more control than you do." as keiko locked the door that housed his gear, shasui could only sigh deeply as he knew she was in an uptight mood. She only does these things when certain events cause an imbalance of code to form when her emotions come into the equation.

"Hey keiko I'm sorry I called you a shrimp, but can you please unlock this door. My gear means everything to me." Shasui tried sounding apologetic to the A.I. only to fail miserably. Feeling even worse when he accidentally detonated a Frag grenade under the Generals command Warthog.

"Keiko, I really am sorry. Can You Forgive me?" Shasui trying his efforts once again to get on her good side. She finally accept his apology and unlocked the door. Only to show she was suffering in some way emotionally. Something the Major never thought that she was capable of showing emotions like that.

*I know she has shown me her bad side before, but she's starting to get worse. I've never seen her in this state before.* Shasui taking note of her sudden mood swing.

Returning his attention to his "Gear" he reveals a type Mark IIV Mjolnir Combat Armour made personally for him. Looking at his Armour in awe every time he places his gaze upon his new piece of technology. The Armour it self was originally called Project {HYABUSA}. This Armour was the panicle of human tech on MJOLNIR battle Armour. The Armour is a combination of white and Black with red tribal markings of Jacutan Elite Warriors back in the 21st century. Giving the Armour a bloodlust state while maintaining an angelic feel. Shasui was proud to wear such Armour given to him. The major quickly equipped himself with the Armour in a state of mind he thought nostalgic, reminding him of his old suits before him. Before equipping his helmet he took one last look at keiko to see if she was still standing only to find her looking down at her feet.

"Hey, Keiko you alright? You never been like this before, I mean....You may be an A.I. yet your mind is created from a humans brainwaves and chemical patterns. I can assume your more human than anyone else knows. Am I right Keiko?" Shasui was starting to worry as she saw her eyes show so much truth, to him it was like staring into her soul telling him everything that he never knew. She hesitated to speak to the Major, not sure if she was still willing to risk her own secret.

"I...I am a more advanced A.I. than I let on. Im....even more advanced than Cortana....Or even 343 Guilty Spark. To tell you the truth I feel, think, act, and know that I AM his Daughter." Keiko was starting to cry and the code around her turned to a blue haze showing her sadness. The Major never thought an A.I. could become an actually human, he felt something was out of place. He remembered something about strong A.I. only living for 7 years until they literally *Think* themselves to death. As Shasui was about to ask her something the ship began to rumble and creek loudly like they had just been hit by something large. The Major wasted no time putting his helmet on. He checked all his internal programs that had been built in his helmet. Everything worked fine except his Tac/Com and his other systems for his "Buddy" system he liked to call it.

"Keiko can we talk another time, it seems we have some real trouble and Id hate to miss the Welcome party." Shasui loved having his adrenaline pump every time he went to work. Keiko could only nod and transfer into a data disk for the majors open port on his helmet. Rushing to contact the main bridge to see if anything was wrong he found out that the ship managed to slip into a storm of sorts.

"This is Spartan-Leader to bridge, Give me a Sit-rep. Over?" speaking into the Terminal of the Stealth corvette. Getting only white noise and static. Shasui then thought they may have run into an Ion Storm. He became increasingly disturbed when he remembered that his ship was fitted with a new Prototype Shaw-Fujikawa Slip space Drive that was designed from covenant tech. Thinking that if one powerful Ion lightning hit the ship and transferred the energy into the Slip space drive would propel them into an Uncharted of space. Maybe even something greater than that.

"I think were going to be in for Hellish ride Keiko." Commenting on his recent thoughts. The major began his sudden burst of renewed energy at speeds that were faster than the first Spartan's ever to be created. As always everything seems to be in slow motion for the Major as he passed by a few of the shipmates that were on the skeleton shift. Everyone else seemed to be lost for unknown reasons to the Major as he continued forward. Shasui reached the ships Bridge within 1.23 minutes, a new record to be sure. As soon as the doors to the bridge were opened the Majors fears were realized. The ship slipped into an Ion Cloud.

"Captain! What the Hell Happened?! How did we fall right into a Ion Cloud like this?!" The major screamed into his microphone to speak to the captain of the ship only to receive looks from the captain of being dumbstruck himself. The captain regaining his place remembered who he was speaking to.

"Sir, I don't know. All I can assume at this point is that once we neared the Cloud our controls went Non-responsive, as Well as our communications, Major We cant wake up your squad cause our A.I. had also suffered from this. I don't think this is an Ion Cloud but something is tampering with our electronics." the captain turned back to the mass of darkness in front of his view through the portside window. Shasui could help but feel helpless only able to pray that they are able to pass through safely.

"Captain, better start praying or our Asses are gonna be in a new realm. Talk about ironic." shasui couldn't help but comment to himself getting a disturbed chuckle from the captain. Shasui always thought he would die a quick death in war not getting flung into uncharted space. Once he was about halfway to the armory he was flung to the side of the wall with enough force to kill a man. His fears were now realized in truth. The ship began to buck and shift with each passing moment he knew that the ship was hit by a powerful electrical surge. The Shaw-Fujikawa drive was in warm up phase and began to warp the space around the ship propelling it with great force.

"Damn it, I was hoping we wouldn't get hit but I guess that we were asking for it...Shit!! the major commenting on their useless ship. Punching the floor with all his might, only able to put a small hole about the size of a fist, a good 3 inches in triple grade A titanium.

"Keiko....Before anything else happens, I just wanted to say im sorry for anything that I may have done. If we do get out of this alive, I will give you freedom if you desire." Shasui may be a man of war, action, and Honor but his heart was never destroyed with his life altering training.

"heh...*sniff* I'll hold you to your word, Shasui." She sounded happy and sad which made it hard for me to accept the truth that we might not make it. Our only hope is that the ship will hold together once it reaches its destination.

{The world of Pokemon}

3:16 A.M. Hoenn Region
Near Route 104

The night was peaceful as always, the nocturnal pokemon singing their chorus of the night. Powerful the moon is shining with its great majestic through the canopy of the tree's makes me feel so much alive. Even though I'm human it feels right to be in this kind of element. No matter where I am I feel most at home with my pokemon weather in the wild or in some big city.

"So my little Riolu where should we camp for the night? Seeing as we made that Nidoking angry with us." I couldn't help but chuckle at what happened. My Riolu and I were about to set up camp in some cave we thought abandoned only to find a Angry Nidoking charging us out of his cave. Lucky for us we were too fast and cleaver.

:I'm sorry. I didn't know...: My poor pal seemed upset he almost got our lives stomped out by some crazy Nidoking. I guess I'll have to cheer him up a bit. I stopped for a moment to help out my pals self esteem. Propping my self on one knee I picked up my buddy and placed him on my right knee as I began to chat with him.

"Hey its alright there's no need for being sad about it. If there were no risks in life there's no way we would have any fun. Besides I always feel better when your around with me to share our adventure." the little guy started to shake when I was done speaking I guess it helped to some degree as he slid off my knee and gave me a hug. Mind you I was a little surprised by the sudden shift in weight.

:Thank you Rhuto. You really are my friend: I couldn't help but return the hug he has been acting a bit depressed lately. I don't like it when my best friends are sad. So I do my best to cheer them up. As I continued to embrace my friend he started to cry. I felt sad I continued to hold him calming him down. Once his tears were done I tried asking him what was wrong.

"Hey what's wrong? I kinda noticed you've been like this for awhile. I don't want my friends to be sad, so please talk to me I don't want you to be sad." I tried my best, he just wasn't ready to speak about anything. I began to ask him again and That's when a bright light appeared in the sky like a Miniature sun was formed blinding me I shielded my eyes from the sudden pain. Only to see a massive explosion in the sky with a small fireball racing to the ground. I watched with such curiosity.

"What was that bright light? I thought a pokemon used some sort of Flash move to disturb the area." I was confused as to what had just happened. We watched the area where the light showed up, we soon saw a small fireball fall from the sky. The object was aimed right at us as it propelled itself through the night, burning in the atmosphere. My friend was watching the entire time looking at the object with his improved sense of vision.

:It looks like a pod, with...Wings at the top: the crude explanation didn't help me any but I thought it could be a alien from another planet. I always thought they existed. Being the only 2 sentient species on this planet maybe there were more. With pokemon and humans on this planet it would only be safe to assume, right?


"Wait....Is it coming in our direction?" My question soon turned into fear as I saw this small pod shaped ship creep closer and closer to our position. I couldn't help but start to shake in my boots. As soon as the ship flew close it shot up over the clearing of the road and straight into the forest. We saw the wake the ship left as pieces of the ships fell around us. They looked like a giant flipper of a Lapras with more oval shape. Our curiosity got the better of us as we decided to see who or whatever came to our planet in that ship.

Planet Earth

"Did we make it...Keiko?" Slipping in and out of consciousness I felt I received a concussion during our drop. I was bombarded with a number of thoughts but the pain put a sudden stop to that as I fell out of the back entrance to the escape pod. as I fell I hit the ground with a thud, I guess the ground was soft that I landed on. The last thing I remember is Keiko saying something about movement and I could've sword I saw some kid running towards me, as I slowly faded into darkness.
