Been working on this for 5 years and have finally decided to write it. Please note that this is the first time I have ever written something like this. This is just the teaser. If I do decide to write it all, it could come to over 10 books...no joke. Hopefully, this turns out good. Hope you like it! NOTE: This is only the teaser.
Prologue
September 10, 2536-Aboard the UNSC ship, Dawn of Time
Today was full of pandemonium. Our ship just took of from Earth heading to the planet Reach. We had been sent to the planet from Earth departing at 8 AM. The ships main AI, Celesta, was making the final preparations. She is one of the top AI’s made to date. She was going to be the AI for our new “project” that was actually due today. Slightly modified, she is able to live 7 years more than the typical AI. Only problem is we had to take out some big parts. She is the beta AI for our newest AI’s that are going to be built in the future.
9:34 AM, the ship started to experience some minor difficulties. We didn’t know what was wrong and Celesta had no clue either. But, at the same time, our “project” was being delivered. We didn’t want these difficulties to damage the “project”. But, it just got worse. Then, Celesta noticed something in space. This portal like thing started forming. We tried to dodge it but we couldn’t. The ship went through it. Everything in the ship was going haywire! Celesta shut the whole ship down to prevent serious damage. We eventually exited the portal. Silence…
The time was unknown until Celesta turned the ship back on, it said it was 10:00 AM…1992. We decided to head back to Earth to assess the damage as one of the thrusters did receive some damage. Not enough to cause any major problems but we decided it was for the best. We called in but with no response. Then, one of the gems we had found on Earth started to glow. Celesta tried to see what was going on. All she could make out of it was that on that planet, which was believed to be Earth, was something important. We headed down in stealth mode to avoid detection.
As we touched down, we noticed that this was indeed Earth. But it was…different. The technology looked very, very outdated. The people there spoke English. They gazed at our armor. We asked them what the date was. September 10, 1992. We agreed that the portal had sent us back in time. We were saddened, though, because the “project” had failed delivery. But, the gem just glowed. This time, even more rapidly. The gem had first started to glow when it got close to the mother of the “project” when it was still in her. But, he is dead. We went to go bury him, when someone announced that they had seen a child just like that, that was born not to long ago.
We headed to where we were told he was and the closer we got, the more the gem glowed. Eventually, we got to the place. We saw the child. We couldn’t believe it. Was this child the reason the portal was created? Does the gem know something we don’t?(Since the gem looked like an emerald, we decided to call it a Chaos Emerald) There was only one way to find out. We made a super flash clone. Since we didn’t want to destroy the future, this one was made to live 21 years after it’s “parents” died. We hoped that this would work. We took the child with us. His name on the sheet was “Alex”.
Our ship headed off and the portal opened again. We went through it and appeared back where we were. We headed straight for Earth. Well, I was hoping to see Reach. Guess that won’t happen for a little bit. Well, “Alex”, you better be worth it.
