What if The Flood from Halo Arrived in Star Wars? Let’s explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

The Resolute drifts through the debris field as it investigates the twisted remains of a foreign vessel. It had appeared on the edge of Republic space near a frontier world. Although they detect no signs of activity, Anakin leads a boarding party to investigate what happened.

Anakin: Coms. Alright Rex, tell me what you see from the Resolute.

Rex: Still no signs of activity, sir. By the looks of it, the ship was bisected by something. The cuts are too neat to have been a battle. We’ve managed to decipher the language, it says, Forward Onto Dawn. Wait, scanners are picking up a faint energy reading from a cryo chamber deep inside. Could be some kind of stasis pod.

Anakin leads his troops down the darkened halls to the ship's cryo chambers, careful to avoid the twisted metal. They find only one inhabited cryotube. Through the glass, they see a massive humanoid in imposing green armor.

Anakin orders the troopers to move the cryopod to the Resolute so they can inspect it properly. As they move to begin cutting the tubes, a blue woman appears from the nearby holo tank.

Cortana: Maybe I can help?

Anakin: Woah, hello there. Who are you?

The hologram flickers faintly as she looks up at Anakin and his men. Her image distorts several times as she tries to recall something.

Cortana: I-I’m Cortana. You have to help us. We’ve been trapped here for almost four years.

Anakin: Don’t worry, Cortana. We’ll get you and your friend onto our ship,

Cortana’s form suddenly glows a bright red and she stumbles to the ground, clutching her head as if in pain. Anakin gasps as she starts to shout.


Cortana: Get us out of here now! There’s something else on this ship! It was waiting for us!

Anakin: Cortana, what's wrong?

Cortana’s image flickers more violently.

Cortana: No time… I’m failing… rampant. There’s… something else here. You must leave now! Another life form…detected.

Anakin’s com-link roars to life as a trooper from another squad contact him.

Clone: General! Something attacked us, it's a pod-like thing it latched onto one of the troopers, and ah!

Blaster fire rings out and the channel goes dead.

She releases the tubes holding Master Chief’s cryo-chamber in place. Anakin orders the clones to take it back to their ship as he rushes off to lower levels where the rest of his men are investigating. Although Cortanan insists on getting out of there, Anakin ignores her as an ear-splitting shriek echoes across the facility.

In the lower levels, a figure limps out from the shadows. At first, Anakin thinks it is one of his men, but as it steps into the light, he sees the clone is now mutated and deformed. One hand is enlarged and twisted into a pincer while his head has been pushed back against his back and in its place, a pod has burrowed itself into his chest cavity.

The trooper shrieks and rushes at Anakin, its pincer slashing at him. He reels back from the attack and slashes his lightsaber across the clone's arm, slicing it off at the shoulder. But the floodform moves with unnatural speed and grabs Anakin by the throat with his remaining hand.

Anakin reverses his grip and drives his lightsaber into the floodform's chest, driving it to the ground as the infector bursts. The Jedi falls to the ground but doesn’t have a chance to rest for long as more combat forms appear.

Cortana’s voice sounds from the intercom.

Cortana: Run!

The Jedi turns at his heels and rushes back the way he came as the infected clones give chase. He stops only to pull Cortana’s data chip from the holo tank before making his way back onto their shuttle. He’s the last one onboard as the ship takes off.

Anakin orders the Resolute to fire upon the Forward Unto Dawn. The turbo lasers rip through the already-ruined ship hull, sending bursts of flames blossoming as the ship breaks apart. But from the explosion, they glimpse something streaking through. A tiny escape pod that flies straight to the planet below.

Anakin places Cortana on the ship's console.

Anakin: Cortana, what was that?

Cortana: The Flood.

Anakin strides onto the bridge of The Resolute, taking both Cortana and the cryotube with them as they begin working on unfreezing Master Chief. Ahsoka is waiting for her master and behind her is a hologram of the Jedi Council and the chancellor.

Anakin: Cortana, tell them what you told me. What are we dealing with?

Cortana: The Flood. A parasite that infects and consumes all organic life it comes into contact with. If that pod reaches the planet’s surface, it will only be a matter of time before the entire planet is overrun.”

Palpatine: Then we must deploy a response force immediately to contain this threat.

Cortana: This isn’t just another enemy. The Flood spreads like a virus.
