The rest of the Toa, followed by the protectors of some the other worlds, walked forward and stopped when they saw the guardians.

“Why is there a giant rabbit on the ship?” Vapaa asked.

“These are the guardians of this world” I said “they’re like us in some respects, except they are Legends of childhood. Bunnymund is the Guardian of Hope, North is the Guardian of Wonder, Toothiana is the Guardian of Memories and Jack Frost is the Guardian of Fun” Rocket scoffed.

“What good can they do?” he asked “you said it yourself, they’re from childhood, I mean just look at the kangaroo”

“What did you call just me!?” Bunnymund asked “I’m not a bloody kangaroo, mate”

“Then what are you?” Rocket asked.

“I’m a Pooka” he said “and I’m the Easter bunny” Rocket burst out laughing, Bunnymund rolled his eyes before getting out one of his boomerangs and throwing it off the side of the ship.

“What was that in aid o…?” Rocket never got to finish his sentence as the boomerang banked around, whacked Rocket on the head and knocked him out before flying back to Bunnymund.

“Anyone else?” Bunnymund asked, catching the Boomerang.

We were flying towards the next planet when Jack Frost walked over

“Hey, Vuur” he said, touching the railing with his staff and causing it to freeze.

“I wish you would stop that” I said “I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve slipped because of you”

“Can you blame me?” he asked “I mean you can only stare at the stars for so long before it gets boring” at that moment an absolutely colossal spaceship drew alongside us, on its side was the name ‘UNSC Infinity’, I smirked and looked at Jack.

“You were saying?” I asked before teleporting over to the bridge, I turned to a communications officer “have they tried to make contact yet?”

“They're doing it now, Sir” the Unicorn mare said.

*Half an hour later, Location: UNSC Infinity*

A scientist and Captain Thomas Lasky walked through the hallways of the Infinity.

“When we came into contact with the vessel 6 individuals came forward, designating themselves as Toa. From what they’ve told us, they seem to play the similar role to our Spartans, it’s also worth noting that the word ‘Toa’ comes from the old Maori language and was also used by the LEGO company for one of their toy lines during the early 21st century, these warriors also share similarities with the Toa on our ship” the Scientist said as they walked through a door with six rooms on the other side, they stopped next to one with a 7 foot tall human wearing red armour, stood in the center of the room “the first individual; real name Luke Washington, is referred to by his teammates as Vuur Koning, which is Dutch for Fire King. He has powers over fire and seems to be the leader of this group”

“Roses are red, my mind is twisted” Vuur Koning said in a British accent, smirking “bend over *BEEP* you’re about to get f*beep*d”

“He also seems to have a rather unique sense of humour” the Scientist said, Vuur Koning scoffed.

“Get f*BEEP*d, four eyes” Vuur Koning shot back “it’s a British sense of humour” the scientist quickly ushered Lasky towards the next room, this one had an 8 ft. tall human, sat on the middle of the room with his eyes closed and his legs crossed in a meditative fashion as he levitated several inches off the floor.

“This individual is the brother of ‘Vuur Koning’. His real name is Ben Washington, but his teammates refer to him as ‘Minion’” the scientist said “he seems to be able to affect magnetic fields, as you are currently witnessing” they then moved onto the next room, this one had a 7.5 ft. tall wolf-like creature, that stood on its hind legs with its arms crossed and seemed to be made out of pieces of wood, with green and blue armour bolted on top.

“What the hell…?” Lasky trailed off. The creature snorted and spat some kind of sap on the floor before growling quietly at them.

“This one has really interested my fellow colleagues” the Scientist said “Known as Scar, our scans have picked up a totally new energy signature, that seems to act as a life force for this creature, ‘his’ teammates say that he is a type of animal native to their world called a Timberwolf, scientific name; Canis Quercus, but he seems to have gained sentience at some point and acts as their personal muscle on missions, also of note, he is theoretically immortal, as he seems to be Botakenetic”

“In English?” Lasky asked.

“He can affect plant life both directly and remotely” the Scientist said, they moved onto the next room, this one had a creature that stood upright with birdlike head, wings and talons, with its body and limbs covered in brown fur. It was also wearing green armour “this one is known to his teammates as Boris and bears a resemblance to the Griffin of myth and legend, although his blood is identical to that of a Peregrine Falcon, he also seems to be able to control air” Boris just waived at them with a talon, Lasky waived back whilst raising an eyebrow before moving on to the next room with the scientist. This one had a 6.5 ft. tall female humanoid with orange fur and maroon hair & tail, and wore burnt-orange and metallic-grey armour, she also had a vaguely equine face and a pair of large, feathered wings that were the same colour as her body.

“This is a species known on their home planet as an Equestrian pony of the pegasus subspecies” The Scientist said “it is worth noting that they don’t naturally have such a strong resemblance to humans, her current appearance is as a result of her ‘quote-unquote’ ascension to a Toa” the scientist handed Lasky a tablet computer with a picture of another Equestrian, this one looked more like a horse than a human, it was also garishly vibrant in colour, Lasky scoffed.

“Looks like something a child would draw” Lasky said, before handing the tablet back to the scientist.

“Hey!” the ‘Pegasus’ said in, surprisingly, a British accent “that’s my mother you’re talking about!” Lasky took a cautious step back and looked at the scientist.

“Equestrians have a level of intelligence rivalling that of humans or sangheili” the scientist said “so try not to upset them, this one is known by the name of Autumn Skies and is Ferrokenetic”

“Again, in English” Lasky said.

“She can control Iron and alloys that use iron in their composition” the scientist said, he then led Lasky to the last room, which contained an Equestrian, similar to Autumn, but she had white fur, two-tone blue mane and tail, grey armour and a horn instead of wings “moving on to our final individual. Vinyl Scratch, she’s an Equestrian of the Unicorn subspecies, in addition to being audiokenetic, that’s control of sound, she also seems to be able to manipulate the same energy signature that Scar emits…” the scientist was interrupted by Vuur Koning speaking up.

“Now that you’ve introduced us” he said “I kind of need to talk to Lasky for a few minutes”

*POV 3rd person*

The High commander Charahk walked through one of the corridors of the Infinity, after the first six Toa had gone aboard members of both ships started to mingle. As he walked he couldn’t help noticing that personnel of the Infinity kept muttering about an ‘Elite’ as he walked past, he walked into a room of some kind and found himself face to face with a 7 ft. tall reptilian creature wearing some kind of bronze armour. He noticed that there were some similarities between himself and this creature. The creature notice Charahk.

“Are you of Sangheilios?” the creature asked.

“Never heard of it” Charahk said “I’m a Rahkshi, specifically a Charahk commander, although I would be a fool to deny there are similarities between us” the creature nodded.

“True” he said “I’m a Sangheili, although the humans call us Elites, what do they call you, Rahkshi?”

“We are referred to by our subspecies” Charahk said “in my case, Charahk. What of you, Sangheili?”

“Thel ‘Vadam, although most refer to me as Arbiter” the Sangheili said, Charahk chuckled, causing the Arbiter to scowl and step forward “you find my name amusing?”

“No” Charahk said “it’s just that on our ship, one of the female younglings bears the name Thel” the Arbiter backed down slightly.

“Odd” the Arbiter said “Thel is exclusively a male Name on Sangheilios”

“Different universe, different world” Charahk said, giving a shrug, at that moment a door opened and Vuur Koning stepped forward along with Captain Lasky.

---

*POV 1st Person Vuur Koning*

I walked into one of the rooms to see Charahk talking with the Arbiter.

“I see you’re both getting along rather well” I said, they both nodded “Good, because you’ll be working together” their eyes widened.

“What!?” they both exclaimed.

“You both fight with honour, you’re both chivalrous, hell you’re practically mirrors of each other”

“Except we’re from different ships” the Arbiter said.

“Oh, that one’s easy” I said “you’re coming with us, along with two Spartans, one of whom has the call sign Sierra-117”

“Who are you?” the Arbiter asked “are you a Spartan?” I burst out laughing.

“Oh please” I said “I can give the Spartans a run for their money any day. I’m a Toa, an elemental warrior, I can control fire” the Arbiter scoffed.

“Were it so easy” he said, narrowing his eyes at me.

“We can discuss this later” I said “right now, I’m off to go meet our Spartans. Later, Charahk” he gave me a half-hearted, two fingered salute and I departed with Captain Lasky.

“What was that?” Lasky asked, glancing back towards Charahk.

“That is a Rahkshi, specifically the Charahk subspecies” I said “they don’t have individual names, but that one is the commander of all Rahkshi that fight for us, rather than for Teridax. So I guess you could say he’s like a Rahkshi Arbiter”

“How can you tell the difference between Rahkshi?” he asked.

“The colour of the armour or I.D. tag on their left shoulder” I said “he’s No.4859, but most just call him High-Commander or Charahk, all other Rahkshi are referred to as just ‘Rahkshi’ or by their rank” we soon reached a hangar, sat on a small container was a red and yellow Spartan-IV with Warrior variant armour and wielding, of all things, a suppressor. We walked over and the Spartan stood up.

“Vuur Koning, this is Crimson” Lasky said “he’ll be working alongside your team with Master Chief” Crimson looked at my armour

“That doesn’t look like standard issue Spartan armour” Crimson said, it was hard to place the accent he spoke in, and the helmet’s microphone seemed to give a slightly mechanical quality to his voice, all I could tell was that he was a male.

“It’s not” I said, before looking around “where’s the Chief?” at that moment an all too familiar looking Spartan in green armour walked over and saluted the captain.

“Spartan 117 reporting for duty, Captain Lasky” he said, before turning to me “awaiting your orders, sir” at that moment, one thought crossed my mind.

'…Oh shit…'
