Chapter 1: Beginning;


Location: Planet Earth in the Pokemon Universe in the Kanto Region; UNSC Military Calendar Date: May 12th, 2021;

It was sunny day in Kanto and everything was peaceful as Pokemon were enjoying the peace and quiet of a forest that nearby a small sparling city. In the city its inhabitants were enjoying the city life as a certain duo walked into the city. The duo were Ash Katchum and his partner Pokemon Pikachu as the two were coming to the city while Goh was back Virlion City helping at the Cerise Laboratory while Ash and Pikachu were going to catch some Pokemon and do some training for the World Coronation series.

As they entered the city Ash stretched his arms after walking quite a while and said to Pikachu who was perched on his right shoulder, "Man, today is a nice day. Not a cloud in sight. Right Pikachu?"

Pikachu smiled and said to its trainer/best friend agreeing with his statement about the day being great so far, "Pika Pika Pikachu."

Ash smiled and said to his electric type partner agreeing with him, "Couldn't agree even more with you buddy."

Outside the city in the forest all the Pokemon were minding their own business when several Rattata felt something very wrong just as the other Pokemon felt the same thing. The ground began to tremble like something huge was arriving above them and their instincts were kicked in telling them all to run away and as fast as they can. When the Pokemon looked up in the sky looks of terror and disbelief appeared on their faces as a large shadow appeared over the forest and many of them ran away without looking back. But any of them forgot to warn the humans of what had just arrived on the planet.

Back in the city Ash and Pikachu were walking around the city talking to people and battling a few trainers as they managed to win them. As they neared city square Ash said to Pikachu wondering if it was hungry, "You hungry buddy? How about we get something to eat?"

Pikachu was about to reply when its ears twitched as it sensed something and said as it looked at the direction of the forest, "Pi? Pika?"

Ash looked at his best friend and said with a concerned tone as he could tell that the electric type was sensing something coming, "Hey Pikachu what's up?"

But then the ground began to tremble as everyone stumbled to the ground from the motion. There was panic and fear on what was happening and people thought it was a large earthquake. Little did they know was that it wasn't a earthquake and it was something that was about change the planet forever.

As Ash tried to get up he said in shock at what was happening, "What's going on?!"

Ash soon got his answer what was causing all of this shaking when he and Pikachu heard a male voice cried out loud in fear, "What's that in the sky?!"

The human trainer and his electric type partner looked up to the sky to see a unbelievable sight as the same huge shadow rolled over the city. There right above them was a huge alien starship as it was very space aged with very sleek curves and edges along with a dark blue and grey colored body. The back of it had about 3 engines running and it was slowing down just above the city.

As the ship stopped above the city a young man said in shock as he realized that they were really seeing a real alien spaceship, "N-no way! There are real aliens?! This is go to be a dream!"

But then the bottom part of the ship which had a large circle opened up revealing a light blue light inside the opening. Then that was followed by the sound of energy charging up from the hole in the ship as if it was about fire something. There was no time to find out what it was as it was time run and get away from the ship!

As the ship kept charging up whatever it was about to do a woman yelled in terror as they need to get away, "EVERYONE RUN!"

All the people did just that with Ash and Pikachu staying where they as all the people ran away from the ship trying to get away. It didn't matter to who or what was piloting the ship all that mattered was to escape and survive whatever was happening. Unfortunately their hopes of escape from a unknown alien threat from beyond their planet were in vain.

Ash looked at Pikachu and said to it know it was time to get out of here right now, "Come Pikachu we got to run!"

But before Ash and Pikachu could run a large light blue tractor beam from the strange alien ship shot down catching anyone in a 1 mile radius from the circle opening. Soon everyone who was caught in it were being sucked up into the ship as screams and cries came from civilians and Pokemon who were caught in the beam echoed throughout the small city. Ash was holding onto Pikachu as they were being beamed up to the ship as the human trainer said to his best friend, "Hold on buddy!"

Pikachu looked up at Ash with fear and wondered if they going be ok and hoped to Arceus that they were going to survive this. But as they neared the ship along with all the other humans and Pokemon everything white as the intense light knocked them out cold. Little did they know was that help was coming in the form of a certain supercarrier ship from the UNSC with ships from the UNSC and the Swords of Sanghilios including some other heroes 3 other dimensions and 1 certain olive green Spartan II.

Location: The Dragon Realms in the Valley of Avalar; A few days after the end of the war with the Dark Master and the Dark Armies;

In another dimension on a Earth like planet a new era of peace had just begun as two teen dragon heroes that saved the planet from destruction were flying in the air chasing each other. One being a male purple dragon while the other one was female black dragoness with a magenta colored underbelly wearing a platinum choker on her neck and braces on her feet. The two heroes were Spyro and Cynder the heroes of the Dragon Realms that defeated the evil dark master from destroy the planet.

Presently the two future mates were playing tag with Spyro being it was chasing Cynder said to the black dragoness with a confident grin on his face as the two flew through the air and down towards a lake, "Ha ah! I got you this time Cynder! You'll won't be getting away from this time!"

Cynder looked back at the male purple dragon with a sneaky smirk on her face and said to him, "I wouldn't be so sure about that Spyro!"

Suddenly Cynder disappeared as she used to her Shadow element to vanish into thin air as Spyro flew passed where the black dragoness was once flying heading straight for the lake. Spyro's eyes went wide and exclaimed in shock flying his wings franticly to change his flight path, "WHOAAAAAAAA!"

But it was no good Spyro was flying too fast and couldn't slow down enough or change his flight path. The purple dragon gulped and knew he was in for a little dip in the lake. The purple dragon quickly closed his eyes and sucked in a deep breath as he hit the water with a loud splash.

*SPLASH*

Cynder then reappears out of a shadow and flew other to the spot where Spyro's watery crash landing happen as bubbles bubbled up from the water in the spot that the purple dragon crashed with a smirk. Soon Spyro's head burst out of the lake water and spit out water that he had the unfortunate result of sucking in water when he crashed in the lake once all the water was out of his mouth he breathed heavily catching his breath while Cynder who was still flying in the air looked down at her future mate with her smug smirk and said to Spyro, "Give up purple boy?"

Spyro shot a annoyed look at Cynder before it turned into a defeated smile and said to the black dragoness in defeat, "Ok. You win this time Cynder, but next time I'll get you!"

Cynder chuckled and said to the purple dragon playfully, "In your dreams Spyro."

(An hour later)

A while later Spyro and Cynder sitting on the shore of the lake looking at the beautiful mountains in the distance. Spyro had already been dried off by Cynder who used wind element to act as dragon version of a blow dryer to dry the soaked purple dragon off. Now everything was quite and the two were busy looking at the scenery together and hadn't talked to each other since Cynder pulled the purple dragon out of the water of the lake.

Silence hung in their with only the sounds of nature going on around them like the sounds of birds chirping in the trees. That's until Spyro finally broke the silence as he said to Cynder with a smile, "It's hard to believe that the war is over and Malefor is gone forever. Man, time sure flies when your trying to save the world!"

Cynder looked at Spyro with a smile on her face as she knew the feeling on they would no longer need to fight against the forces of evil, "Yeah it's hard believe that was a long time ago now. But with Malefor gone I guess we can live in peace now."

Spyro nodded and responded to Cynder's comment agreeing with her saying, "Yeah. Do you think we should head back to Warfang and show everyone that we're still alive and now we're future mates?"

The black dragoness aka the former Terror of the Skies thought for a moment and before saying to Spyro as she liked the idea, "Sounds good to me besides I'm sure Terrador, Volteer, and Cyril will be surprised that we'll be future mates. For our age since we're teenagers.'

The male purple then added as he thought of a certain annoying big mouth dragonfly that he grew up with all his life wouldn't be so keen on the two's new relationship and said, "Yeah, but not for Sparx I got a feeling that he's going to complaining as usual. You know how he is after all."

Soon Cynder gained a annoyed look on her face and said in a very annoyed tone of voice as she remembered Spyro's insufferable adopted step brother who didn't know when to shut up on her calling her names, "Ugh don't remind me! That little yellow pest doesn't know when to shut his big mouth when he teases me!"

Spyro chuckled and said to the black dragoness, "Yeah, but he's got a good heart. I'm sure he'll... huh?"

The purple dragon hero stopped talking when he sees something light blue and glowing in the distance on the other side of the lake. Spyro squinted to get a better look at what was on the other side of the lake, but it was too far to get a better look. But his concentration was shattered when Cynder called to him in a loud voice, "SPYRO!"

That did the trick as Spryo snapped out of his trance before he looked at Cynder who had a concerned look on her face and said to him, "Are you alright Spyro? You spaced out for 5 minutes like you were in a trance."

The purple dragon shook his head realizing he zoned out for a bit and then said to Cynder as he looked back at the other side of the lake, "Something is over there Cynder! On the other side of the lake!"

Cynder looked forward and saw the light blue glow in the distance and said to Spryo with a serious tone knowing they have to check this out, "Then let's head over there and see what it is come on!"

Without another world Cynder opened her wings before taking off and flew for the other side of the lake while Spyro called to her as she flew towards for the strange light, "Hey Cynder wait up!"

Spyro took to the air as he opened his wing before he flew after Cynder. Once he caught up with Cynder the two dragons flew faster towards the light before they went across the lake. However, when the the two made it across the lake to the other side the dragon duo found something they couldn't believe their eyes. Right in front of them was a light blue wormhole with the middle of it showing what appeared to be a ruined city with smoke raising from the buildings and strange objects littered across the city.

As Cynder looked at the ruined city from the portal looked at Spyro and said to him, "Spyro is this a portal just like the one to Convexity?"

Spyro looked at Cynder and replied to her with a serious tone of voice and said, "Yeah, but I don't know where this goes or what is it doing here. But something is tell me we need to go there and find out what's happening! You with me?"

Cynder nodded and just like when the duo were in the planet's core battling Malefor she said to the purple dragon, "I'm with you."

Spyro nodded in agreement and the two looked at the wormhole before they jumped into it and disappeared. But when the duo arrives in the world that they saw from the wormhole they'll be dragged into a dangerous new adventure. However, that doesn't mean they would gain new allies.

Location: In Orbit of Planet Earth in the Solar System on board the UNSC Supercarrier Infinity; UNSC Military Calendar Date: May 5th, 2561; 1 Year and 5 months after the successful defeat of the Storm Covenant and the stopping of the The Created Uprising;

Meanwhile in a more familiar universe the UNSC Infinity floated above humanity's home planet in its full glory as other UNSC ships flew by the massive ship along several ships from the Swords of Sanghelios including the former Covenant Carrier Shadow of Intent. Inside the ship the entire crew was celebrating their victory over the Storm Covenant and the successful quelling of the Created Uprising. This victory thanks to Spartan II John-117 also known as the Master Chief and his revived smart AI partner Cortana after she absorbed the Domain and used its knowledge and power to not only stop and shut down all the Guardians, but also cured all the UNSC smart AIs that were infected with the logic plague including herself passed from her and destroyed the Flood that were hidden on the Ark in the remains of the old Covenant capital city High Charity which were behind the plague in the first place once for all. After that Cortana was taken to Doctor Halsey for study and to be upgraded while Chief and Blue Team were given much needed R&R while handling the consequences of when they went awall during the Guardian Incident before Cortona cured herself of the virus.

Inside the ship at one of the armories a male UNSC Corporal Major assigned to one of these armories said to a certain olive green colored Spartan II said to the human super-solider with a annoyed tone as he tossed up pieces of circuitry from a set of armor, "Well you sure gave your armor a major thrashing from the last few missions you and your team went on. The energy shield circuit almost fried and don't get me started on the sensors to the suit which were about to fail! Do you know how much this cost sir?"

Then as if on cue a clean olive green Gen 2 Mark V Mjolnir helmet with a orange visor was picked up by two hands from the certain Spartan and put on his head. The owner was wearing similar clean armor like his new helmet as the helmet was put on the individual was none other than Spartan 117 Master Chief himself. Once he got his new helmet on he said to the Corporal Major, "Tell that to the bad guys."

Just as Chief put his new helmet on Captain Laskey wearing a nice white ceremonial UNSC uniform who was now promoted the Rear Admiral of the Infinity for his acts of bravery, heroism, and honor by Lord Hood walked into the armory came to see Chief and said to him with a impressed smile on his face, "Nice new armor Chief looks just like your old one."

Chief looked at the newly promoted Rear Admiral along with the Corporal Major as the olive green spartan said to his superior officer, "Thank you sir."

Laskey nodded in reply to Chief's response and looked at the Corporal Major said to him, "Well Corporal? How Chief's new suit diagnostics coming along?"

The Corporal Major stood up straight and said to Laskey with a tone of voice with a bit more energy, "Already finished Admiral! All systems for the suit and armor are fully operating at 200% with no bugs or anything in them! Chief is cleared to be back in active duty!"

Then the Corporal Major looked at Chief and said to him which the Spartan II turned to look at him, "Oh! Chief I forgot to mention your new armor has a much stronger energy shields than your old one did along with newer systems and much faster recharging speed when they get knocked out. Including the new grappling hook on your suit’s right arm and I’ll say this it will come quite in handy in getting around and taking out enemy shields in a single shot."

The olive green Spartan II was about reply to the Corporal Major when Roland the Infinity's smart Ai came on the speakers in the room and said in a urgent tone, "Rear Admiral Laskey!"

Laskey soon replied to the ship's Ai by saying to him in a concerned tone knowing something was happening, "What is it Roland? Is there trouble?"

Roland soon replied back to the Rear Admiral and said to him through the speakers in the room, "No Admiral, but Cortona and I have just intercepted a strange radio transmission coming from Sector 12 Quadrant 5 in Earth's Solar system! The origin of the transmission seems to be coming from the outskirts of Uranus and its moons and the way its transmitted seems to match the way Earth sent radio transmissions into space during the 21st Century! It also appears be human in origin! Lord Hood has requests you and the Chief be in the bridge of the Infinity right away! The Arbiter and Shipmaster Rtas of the Shadow of Intent along with Captain James Cutter of the Spirit of Fire are on the bridge as well!"

Laskey nodded and said to the Infinity's smart Ai with a consent tone, "Understood Roland. The Chief and I are on our way right now!"

It wasn't long until both Laskey and Chief left the room and hurried up to the Infinity's bridge. When they reached the bridge Lord Hood was there with Thal 'Vadum also known as the Arbiter, Rtas 'Vadum Shipmaster of the Carrier Shadow of Intent, Captain James Cutter the captain of the recently found and rescued UNSC Phoenix class ship Spirit of Fire, 1st Lieutenant Spartan IV Sarah Palmer who is Laskey's 2nd command, Roland who was on the holotable of the bridge, and finally standing next to the yellow early 20th century pilot looking smart Ai on the table was Cortana. However, Cortana looked different as she was now wearing a UNSC female uniform that was light blue and navy blue. It made her feel more human and how some female marines say that not having any cloths on came be a bit unnerving, so Cortana decided to give herself an updated appearance. Not to mention she was now immortal thanks to absorbing the Domain.

As Chief and Laskey came into the room Cortana smiled and said to her Spartan II partner, "Well you look nice Chief. Did they give you new updated armor based off your old armor?"

Chief looked at the female smart Ai partner and said to her, "Well you got a new look."

Before Cortana could say a reply to Chief Lord Hood said to the assembled group on the bridge of the Infinity as it was time to get to the reason why they were there in the first place, "Now that we are all assembled here lets get down to the matter at hand. Roland pull up that unidentified transmission that we just intercepted several minutes ago!"

Roland responded to the head of the UNSC with a nod and said to Hood, "Right away Lord Hood pulling it up now!"

Soon with a snap of his finger from his right hand Roland pulled up a holographic diagram of the signal that the Infinity had just intercepted a couple minutes ago. The radio waves from the transmission was distorted and all that the group could hear was just static with nothing else in it. As the transmission was being played Palmer then asked Roland as there was no indication of who or what sent the transmission, "Roland are you sure about this? We can't hear anything, but just static. You sure that Cortona and yourself can unscramble the transmission?"

Roland looked at the female white colored armored Spartan IV and said to her with his arms crossed and a unsure look on his digital face, "We can Lieutenant Palmer, but the style of the transmission is like its from the 21st Century and it will take time to unscrambled the transmission."

After he said that Roland and Cortona went to work trying to unscramble the transmission they intercepted putting algorithms and commands to get the signal clear, so they can hear the transmission. As the two smart Ais worked on clearing things up in the transmission Captain Cutter looked at Laskey and asked him, "Where did this unknown transmission originated from Admiral?"

Laskey looked at Cutter before saying to him from what Roland told him earlier when he went to see Chief, "Roland told me that the signal was originating in our solar system around Uranus and its moons. Not to mention the signal is human based in origin."

Then Rtas joined in the conversation as the white colored armored elite said to both Laskey and Cutter, "Impossible we already know that there are no human colonies on that planets' moons even before the Human Covenant war started by the Prophets and their lies. It can't be a missing UNSC ship during the whole Guardian incident a year ago. If it were there should of been a destress beacon."

As the group talked and came up with theories and other ideas on where that signal was originating from while Chief remained silent listening to everyone as Roland was busy with Cortana trying descramble the transmission, so far no luck. The signal was too scrambled to make out what was being said in it and Roland was about to stop and think on how to go about this in getting this mystery solved. However, he didn't have to when the smart Ai thought that he heard human words in the signal like there was dialogue in it. But then Cortana heard something in the transmission which sounded like someone talking and a call for help as she said in shock, "Wait a minute! I thought there was something or someone talking the Radio Transmission! I'll try and clear it up, so we can get a better idea on what it's say!"

Soon Cortana brought the diagram of the radio signal to her side and began to descramble it as she moved things around in the transmission, so everyone on the bridge could hear it and everyone on the bridge stopped talking as they found out what it was saying. But thanks to her upgraded systems thanks to Halsey and now a immortal Ai thanks to absorbing the Domain she was able to descramble the transmission as she near to finishing everyone heard a unknown male voice from the signal, "Anyone please... 'static' if your hearing this our world is under a real alien invasion! 'static' we can't hold out for long all the other regions have been taken over with many civilians and Poke'static' been abducted or captured! All military forces have been overrun and we're outmatched and outgunned requesting immediate help! We won't be able to hold on for much longer we nee- wait! NO! STAY BACK! WHO ARE YOU?! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The message ended with sudden static as the room was silent as the unknown transmission turned out to be a distress signal. Soon Lord Hood broke the silence as he looked at Laskey and Cutter and said to them with a commanding voice, "Captain Cutter and Rear Admiral Laskey you and your ships will investigate the source of that distress signal. A small number of several UNSC frigates and carriers will be going with you to give you some reinforcements just in case you find out what aliens are attacking the planet that this signal originated and why they are attacking."

Both Cutter and Laskey saluted and said to Hood in military fashion, "Yes sir!"

Then the Arbiter joined in by saying to Lord Hood with a determined tone of his voice, "We will join the small feet as well. I will go with the Shadow of Intent and several of our ships to aid them if they encounter this new foe."

Rtas agreed with the Arbiter's decision and said to Lord Hood as well, "If whatever is attacking this planet finds its way here we'll have a few corvettes stay behind to protect Earth. We'll also heed word to ships protecting our homeworld and its colonies to prepare for war."

Lord Hood nodded and then said to the assembled group, "Then prepare for immediate departure. I need the ships ready to leave right away."

Without another word the bridge got very busy as marines were called back to the Infinity for immediate deployment 12 corvettes from the Swords of Sanghelios fleet with the Shadow of Intent flying up to the UNSC supercarrier followed by the Spirit of Fire and 10 UNSC frigates and 4 UNSC carriers. After everyone from personal, soldiers, and Spartans were on board it was time for departure Rtas and the Arbiter had already returned to the Shadow while Cutter was flown back to the Spirit of Fire. Presently Laskey and Chief were in hanger 18 as Lord Hood boarded a Pelican before it took off from the hanger and headed for the Cairo Station once that was finished it was time to go. As Laskey and Chief began to walk out of the hanger heading for the bridge Roland said to Lasky through the com link, "Admiral Laskey we're ready to depart and all ships have reported in that they're ready as well. Permission to jump the ship into slipspace?"

Laskey then said to Roland with a determined tone as it was time to find out where the transmission was coming from, "Permission granted Roland! Tell the Shadow of Intent and Spirit of Fire along with the other ships to commence a slipspace jump to the coordinates of where the transmission was originating!"

Roland responded back to Laskey as he had his orders saying, "Understood Admiral! Sending the ships' the message with the coordinates to our destination and firing up the Infinity's slipspace drive!"

Then Roland activated the speakers through out the Infinity and announced to the crew, soldiers, and spartans saying, "Attention all personal on the UNSC Infinity we're about to engaging a immediate slipspace jump to Uranus to investigate an unknown distress signal. We have conformation on unknown hostiles with unfriendly intent on an unknown planet all marines and spartans report your fireteams, squads, and stations and prepare for battle! This is not a drill! Repeat this not drill!"

Soon everyone in the ship went to their stations as marines got their gear on and loaded their weapons ready for battle. In the part of the ship called Spartantown where all the Spartan IV's are prepared for missions and suit them up for battle. Different fireteams were being suited up with their armor from Fireteam Crimson, Fireteam Osiris, and Spartan II's Kelly, Fred, and Linda part of Blue Team which is Chief's team were being readied for battle as well. They knew that were being called to duty once again and this time things were going to be different and reveal that there more universes than just theirs out there.

Outside the ship a slipspace portal opened up and the Infinity flew into followed by the Shadow of Intent, the Spirit of Fire, the 12 Swords of Sanghelios corvettes, the 10 UNSC frigates, and the 4 UNSC carriers took off into slipspace not knowing what waited for them at Uranus. But they had be prepared for anything cause whatever it was that was attacking that strange planet in the transmission could become a threat to the galaxy. A threat that might even surpass the original covenant.

(3 Hours later)

Location: Near Planet Uranus;

3 hours have passed and the small fleet of 29 ships jumped out of slipspace arriving where the signal of the transmission was originating from and many of the personal thought it was probably a hoax, but they were wrong. There just in front of them was a light blue and white wormhole with the center showing another Earth under alien attack with 13 unknown ships of unknown make and origin not to mention they weren't either UNSC or Covenant in origin. What the small feet knew was that they were looking a inter-dimensional wormhole to another universe.

In the Infinity's bridge Laskey looked at the wormhole as it showed the planet that was being invaded and thought he seen some crazy things in his live, but this was a whole other level. Then he said to Roland as the yellow smart Ai appeared on the holotable, "Roland what are we looking at?"

Roland responded to the question by pulling up holo scanners and charts from thin air before saying, "I believe we have discovered a wormhole Admiral and from the readings we're getting its a gate to an alternate universe that's separate from our universe. Not to mention the planet that we are looking is an alternate version of Earth, but its in the 21st Century instead of the 26th Century and is the source of the transmission. How do you want to preceded?"

Laskey walked over to the holotable and said to Roland with his earlier tone of voice, "Contact the others ships and head into the wormhole! Maintain course and tell all ships to ready their onboard weapons when we exit it! Get the Infinity's weapons online and the MAC Gun ready to fire on those ships! Things about to get real busy!"

Roland nodded in reply as he relayed the message to the other ships and began to prepare the Infinity's weapon systems. It wasn't long until the human and elite ships began to move again heading for the wormhole. The Infinity was the first ship to enter wormhole as it zoomed off into the inter-dimensional portal. The Shadow of Intent and the Spirit of Fire were next to follow the Infinity as the same thing happened to them as they were blasted into another universe. After that the remained 26 ships of the fleet blasted into the wormhole and disappeared leaving the wormhole the only occupant of the empty space not knowing what was about occur in another dimension.
