Ligers waved to the group as he left in a bright green portal, Epsilon smiled and fell into his portal. View floated over to his library and pulled the next chip and as he continued to hum, but it stopped as he read the title.

View: A monument to all your sins.

He shakily flew over and placed the video in, he ignored the chatter of all those beneath him and flew to the center of the room.  Ruby took notice of the normally jovial orb now being silent and serious, she raised an eyebrow

Ruby: View? What's wrong?

View shook his head as the video played

A man in green armor was seen being dragged by an unknown source down a hallway, as he came to he looked around and saw he was being dragged by a green almost skin looking tentacles. The green giant attempted to shake free only to see he was trapped, and sighed as he waited to reach his destination. And as the tentacle brought the man in green facing up, a voice spoke from seemingly no where.

Ruby:  what, is that?

Ruby: it's me! But where I am?

View: your an Ai, you live in the master chiefs head, of in this case you live in Rens head.

Nora jumped over and grabbed ruby

Nora: don't touch my rennny.

She smiled and jumped back over to Ren, grabbing onto his arm with a death grip

Nora: MINE

Ren chuckled nervously and tried to get out of the grip, but to no avail.

In front of Ren was a giant tentacle like monster.

(Fuck you I'm lazy)

Gravemind: I am a monument to all your sins

Ironwood: my god....

Ruby screamed and hid herself behind yang, who was shaking in fear.

Roman: tha-thats the kid isn't it?

View nodded as juniper chocked back a sob

Juniper: My baby!

Qrow: What is that thing!

View: that is the gravemind, the mind and soul of the flood. A parasite that feeds off everything. Even a single flood spoor could wipe out an entire planet, that's how dangerous they are.

Summer: and that thing is the core of it?

View: indeed.

The gravemind pulls another Alien in silver armor up, also rapped in the tenticles of the flood. Ren looks over at him

Ren: relax, id rather not piss this thing off.

The alien turned and faced Ren

Sun: Demon!

Sun: That's me? Man I look ugly!

Weiss: why did he call Ren a demon? He's not actually one right?

View: no of course not. It's an insult, or a compliment. Depends on who you ask.

Gravemind: this one is  machine in nerve, and has its mind concluded.

He then points over at Sun

Gravemind: This one is but flesh and faith, but is the more deluded.

Qrow: it speaks in rhymes?

Sun: Kill me or realese me parasite! But do not waste my time with talk!

Gravemind: there is much talk and I have listened, through rock and metal and time. Now I shall talk and you shall listen.

He pulls up a monitor and a prophet, both of which seemingly infected by the flood.

Pyyhra looked at the red monitor and then back at view, they similarities where impossible to deny. Both were floating balls with a light where they mechanical eye would be, could this be why view seems to on edge?

Velvet: through rock and metal and time? How long has this thing lived for!

View: for as long as that ring has lived. It was created just after the firing of the rings, Tengant was horrible at his job.

Coco: tengant?

View: just watch.

The red orb begins to speak

Tengant: greetings! I am 24-01 penidant Tengant! Monitor of installation 0-5.

The alien prohphet began to speak, in a raspy weak tone.

Regret: and I am the prophet of regret councilman of the hierarchy of the covenant!

(No I'm not making regret a character, fight me)

Tengant: A reclaimer? Here? That goodness! We need to activate this facility if this outbreak is to be contained!

Weiss: a reclaimer? What's that?

View: a member of the human race is a reclaimer, they are the ones who will inherit all the forunners things. Weather is be a halo ring or a warship, it was all left to the human race.

Ironwood: and these warships were left to any human? No matter how evil they could be?

View: yes, that's true.

Cinder: really?

Ironwood: don't get any ideas fire witch.

Mercy; stay where you are! Nothing can commence until my sermon is ready!

The monitor flew over to the prophet, completely ignoring the gravemind.

Tengant: not true! This installation has a perfect record of 1.2 trillion simulated and one actual.

The gravemind shivered from behind them, his past flood minds remembering the firing of the rings.

Raven: whatever this firing of the rings was, it seems horrible. Most likely a weapon?

View: yes, the halo rings were built with one purpose. To defeat the flood, no matter the cost.

Mercy: oh all the artifacts our lords left behind, none are more worthless then these oracles! They know nothing about the great journey!

Tengant: and you know nothing of containment! You have showed complete disregard for even the most simple protocols!

The gravemind moved the monitor away from the prophet as he dragged them back down into the dark,

Gravemind: this ones containment and this ones great journey are the same.

Ruby: the great journey? What's that?

View: just watch.

Gravemind: your prophets have promised you saving from a doomed existence. But you will find no salvation on this ring. Those who built this place knew what they wrote, do not mistake there intent.

Gravemind moves Ren to face sun

Gravemind: or all will perish, as they did before.

Opzin: all will perish! Just what is this halo ring!

View: it's a weapon, used to destroy the flood.

Goodwitch stood up and pointed the riding crop at view

Goodwitch: we need an answer! How does everyone perishing have to do with defeating the flood?

View sighed as his light dimmed

View: the only way to defeat the flood is to destroy there food, all life in the galaxy had to be destroyed if the flood was to perish.

Ironwood: by oum, that's horrible!

View: it's the only way

Ren: this things right, Halos a weapon. Your prophets making a big mistake.

Sun growled and spat at Ren

Sun: your ignorance already destroyed one of the sacred rings, I will not let you destroy another!

Gravemind: if you will not believe the truth, I shall show it to you. There is still time to stop the key from turning, but first it has to be found.

It pointed one of its small tentacles at Ren

Gravemind: You will search one likely spot

He then pointed at Sun

Gravemind: and you will search another

The two none flood people began to glow a yellow color.

Gravemind; fate had us meet as foes, but this ring will make us brothers!

He teleported Ren and sun out as he went back to his previous position.

Ren: you already destroyed one of the sacred rings, what does that mean?

View: you, or this version of you. Already destroyed one of these halo rings and stopped it from firing.

Mercury: god, that thing is gross!

Emerald: it's like a tentacle hentai monster!

Ozpin: this ring will make us brothers, that can't be good considering that's a literal parisite.

View: no it's not.

But a golden light enveloped the room as a gold orb flew down towards the gravemind. It reached out and grabbed the orb, only for it to begin speaking.

To the gravemind the hive mind of the flood.
