#Spartan Ingo au

[kelpiemomma]

Listening to the halo reach soundtrack at work and thinking of spartan Ingo again 🥰🥰🥰

Either he and Emmet separated for Ingo to join the Noble team OR they were both recruited, with Ingo becoming Noble 6 and Emmet Noble 7.

But gaaahhhhh Noble 6 Ingo nervous because he and Emmet have been a team for so long, and he's assigned to noble team alone because they only need one member and he fits what they're looking for.

Ingo is uncertain about where he stands with Noble team, with Carter telling him he can't rely on his brother to have his back only, that he can't go hunting down Emmet when he's in trouble. He has to stay with the team now, and Ingo isn't sure he can. But he stays and gradually begins to fit in. He and Emile grate on each other, but he gets along well with Kat and Jorge. He doesn't see Jun much but when they do interact it's polite. Carter is pleased with how he's fitting in, even if he's talking to Emmet almost every day. There are things he has to dance around, missions they can no longer share, and it's hard because they've never had to keep secrets from each other.

And then the Covenant land on Reach, and all Ingo can tell Emmet at first is that something's gone wrong. And then he's storming a beach with the team, trying to remember when the last time he spoke to Emmet was, promising himself he'll do it as soon as he's back to base. Except then he's in space with Jorge, breaching a Covenant cruiser, and then Jorge is pushing him out of an airlock and everything is happening so fast.

He's creeping through the night with Jun, trying to save civilians, desperately firing at Hunters to try and keep them safe. He goes through all of Reach, seeing his team die and sacrifice themselves so that one, just one, of them might make it. Might pass on what needs to get to the right hands.

And he gets to the ship, and he thinks that maybe, just maybe, he and Emile - bonded slightly after watching Carter take out the scarab for them - might make it. Might be able to reuine with Emmet, with Jun, to mourn the losses of their team, their family, might be able to allow his grief an outlet- and then Emile is stabbed from behind, he's down, and there is no one else that can protect the ship. There is only Ingo. He swallows his nerves and turns around, heads for where Emile was just slain. He takes out the Elites - not without heavy injury - and clears the skies.

And then he is alone.

He's never been alone in his life. There was always Emmet or Elesa, and then there was Noble team. Even when Jorge sacrificed himself he wasn't alone because his team was waiting for him. But now there is no one but Ingo.

And the Elites are coming for him, and there is no escape.

Here's some unfortunate baby Akari and a smidgen of Spartan Ingo.

i am spinning this video in my head and vibrating with spartan Ingo thoughts

It was never explicitly stated to the twins, but Ingo got chosen to be Noble 6 BECAUSE of Emmet. Because he could follow Emmet's plans and commands without arguing unless it was necessary. Because he and Emmet spent so much time training together, to improve their skills and sparring with others to one up each other, that he was constant learning and improving. Because if he thought Emmet would survive, Ingo would do ANYTHING to ensure it.

Spartan Emmet, on the other hand, is more selfish. He has to be the one in charge. He needs to be learning, improving, always because he needs to keep Ingo safe. Saving civilians is not his priority- Ingo is. If it came down to it and Spartan Emmet was required to choose between something and Ingo, he would choose Ingo every time. The world could burn and as long as he had Ingo by his side he could get through it. Being selfish isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's definitely not good when you want a team player.

So they started with Ingo, told him the solo mission he'd be going on needed to be done without Emmet. Said he needed to start working with other people, and it was a little escort mission so it was fine. He didn't like it, and was anxious to not have Emmet at his back, but it went fine and he came back safe.

And when he was on Reach, looking out through a hole in the wall of a broken tower in a destroyed city, he realized this. He realized following Emmet through training, following orders, had led him to here. To being among a team of strangers bonded by a world ending. And he didn't hate it. Not at all. Because Emmet would sacrifice the world for Ingo, but Ingo had always kept silent about how he'd sacrifice himself for his brother. And he knew, something in his gut told him, that sacrificing himself was going to be the only way to keep Emmet alive.

Okay I am diving deeper into the Halo au purely because I've been playing Reach. And I'm gonna argue something for funsies.

Yes, Reach was glassed

However! Your helmet? Survives. It survives the glassing. I am taking this to mean that while every square inch of a planet is supposed to be glassed, Reach was not. Mostly glassed, yes, but not completely. Although Reach fell, I am going to happily claim that for my own purposes, the UNSC was able to give them enough hell that only a majority glassing could be achieved. Enough to say "yes, this planet was fully glassed" BUT, c'mon. How many of them are going down to examine it?

With how many Elites Noble Six Ingo took out, he didn't die. They certainly thought they killed him, and he appeared dead, but they had to get off the planet before the were glassed. He was down, he was out, and they left him. I'm thinking some scientists - similar to Halsey - decided to stay behind and found Ingo before the glassing could start. They stuck him in a cryo-chamber of a sort in order to heal him and then, for whatever reason, vanished.

Reach falls in 2552 and you know what happens in 2553, according to the official timeline? A survey team comes down! Know who was in that survey team in my au? Emmet and Elesa! Hence they find Ingo's helmet and the video. Due to the damage they don't see that te Spartan was pulled to safety by scientists. They leave believing that he fell with Reach.

Delightfully, I am finding that the war actually ends in 2553- not long after Reach falls. I am still figuring out this timeline though. This means, potentially, that by the time Ingo and Akari are found and recovered the war is over. Ingo believes he died in the war and when he wakes up there is no war. Is this heaven or hell?

Of course, I still want battles so I'm going to say there are small forces who are still fighting. Not well, not making progress, but they're still on the side of the Prophets and require Spartans to handle them.

*kicks open door* HELLO I LOVE YOUR HALO SUBMAS AU??????? LET AKARI BE A BIG BABY!!!!!!! LET INGO HAVE A BIG CHILD!!!! (Also I know that this isn’t the point, but I want them to have matching energy swords bc why not. I know akari doesn’t like to fight I just think they’re neat)

ALSO! Sangheili can be grey!!!! Let akari match her human dad!!!! (If she gets armor, that should ALSO match her dad!!!! Love is stored in the matching!!!)

HOMIE.

MY MAN.

MY BABE.

MY FRIEND.

YEEAHHH BOIII!!!

HALO SUBMAS!!!!!! AKARI IS THE BIGGEST BABY SHE JUST WANTS TO HIDE BEHIND HER DAD WHEN THE SHOOTING STARTS FDJSFKLSAD She missed out on all the Sangheili war games and hunting games by essentially raising herself so she's fine with hunting but like,,, hunting people??? Hunting other Sangheili and the rest of the Covenant??? Hmmmmmmm she'd like to NOT, thank you very much!!

(energy swords are dope as FUCK tho I had such a thing for them before my dad made me play with him on expert and i couldn't just LEEEROOYYY JEEENNKINNNSSS everything anymore fjdafkl i ABSOLUTELY support Ingo and Akari having matching energy swords)

FSDFLADS LOVE IS STORED IN THE MATCHING!!!! I know what you mean by matching armor but frankly now I'm just imagining this big ol Elite in her own Spartan armor fjalkfdsa (and thinking of a Covenant Sangheili cornering her and gloating about how 'no human can kill them' and she pulls off her helmet and says 'I AM NO HUMAN' and murks them)

Akari following Ingo around the ship when they're recovered like a frightened puppy, and people are freaking out seeing what they think is a nearly full-grown enemy infiltrating them and frankly Ingo informing them that she's NOT full grown and has many many years left until she's an adult (she still has the baby Sangheili protective scales- Ingo actually cries when she starts shedding them) only makes things WORSE.

I imagine this is around the time the Arbiter joined the ranks, so there's a lot of stink-eyes going around at Akari because baby Sangheili?? Might be a new sort of trap >:| Akari just wants to make sure her dad (and new uncle and new aunt and new great uncle and new friends) are all safe. Rei is a relatively young Spartan and one of a handful who doesn't think twice to welcome a kid onto the ship. If Akari isn't with Ingo, Emmet, Elesa, Drayden, or Laventon- she's with Rei. Because he's still pretty young himself they tend to get into mischief :)

Akari DOES end up in battle because 1. she honestly doesn't feel safe on the ship when the rest of her family gets deployed and will either hide in their rooms or with Laventon until they return, sometimes not eating because she's afraid to show herself and 2. she wants to be able to protect them herself. She trains hard with Rei (when they're not screwing around) and even Cyllene and Zisu (Zisu is in charge of the Spartan's training) until they allow her out. It's after the last of her baby scales have shed, so she's the human equivalent of a tween/teen and Ingo is ABSOLUTELY against his (giant alien) daughter going out into battle, but Emmet points out she either goes with them or with another troop and who's going to watch her back and keep her safe better, her family or the people who've been side-eyeing her since she was a youngling?
