Greetings. I have completed a rough summary for my new Halo 2 fanfiction series. Please read. I'll post the entire trilogy when I have completed each book. Expect some borrowed material from Halo 2. The series is called Operation Covert Injection. The three books are called Anne Frank, Axis Insurgency and Total War. This is a summary for Anne Frank. In 2552, 4 super-soldiers are going to be awakened. Their names: Tony, Chas, Gina and Lauren. Their mission: utilize recently unveiled time-travel technology, go to 1944, and rescue Anne Frank from the incoming Nazis. With the aid of allies calling themselves the Covenant; a collection of powerful alien races under the rule of the Elites; the strike team is unexpectedly shot down by the Confederate Worlds of Andromeda's fleet and marooned on a ring-shaped object in deep space. Avid Halo 2 players in their past lives, Tony and Chas dub the ring-world Alpha Halo. While on the ring, the CI Team reveals numerous secrets about Halo, and discover a powerful artificial intelligence. Much to their horror, they also discover that the parasitic life form called the Flood inhabit the ring. Together with 835 Watchful Eagle; the AI on Halo; the team annihilates the Flood and return to Earth to complete their assigned mission.

But why would the Covenant's religion be tied to the human's? As a seasoned Halo 2 veteran, I have looked through the story of Halo countless times, and still haven't found anything about what the Prophets believe in, or if they believe in anything at all. Or whether the Covenant's view of religion is similar to ours. It's clear why their hearts were "racked with grief" when Alpha Halo was destroyed; what with their intentions of total rule of the Milky Way; but what information is there regarding the Prophet's history and what they view in religious terms?

Stories on the Internet have claimed that numerous similarities between the Halo Trilogy and the Bible cannot be explained as merely coincidental. For example: () The Flood (both the game's and the Bibles) was unleashed and consumed all the bad people in the world (in this case Halo and the bad people were the Marines and the Covenant on Alpha Halo). ()In the Bible, there were three Covenants formed between Noah, Abraham and Jesus. This means in Halo the forming of the Covenant between the three main races that compose the Covenant: Elites, Grunts & Hunters, with the Prophets guiding them. () The Ark was created to harbor all the good things in the world, as said in the Bible. In Halo, the Ark is a Sanctuary designated by the Forerunners as places where the effects of Halo's activation were nullified (In Halo 2, 343 Guilty Spark said the Prophets were heading the the Ark to remotely activate the Halos and save themselves so they could rule the universe once all other life forms in the Milky Way were obliterated). () Master Chief (well, technically Cortana found this out) uncovered the truth behind the Prophet's actions in Halo: Combat Evolved. This equals Noah accusing the False Prophets of treason (The Arbiter does this in Halo 2 as well). I could name more coincidences, but these seem to be sufficient. Did Bungie create Halo from the Bible, desperate for a good game? Discuss.
