Mmkay. Picture this. Super short version of what I was thinking of.

Large battle happens. We see some of our THDF heros fighting like bad @$$'s, they pick up something, and an off screen explosion occurs. Fade to black.

THDF intro theme plays (I know some musicians that could give us a tune), with some epic moments showing.

Caption reads: 2 weeks later. We are on Yoth talking to General Sheer, and he tells us that the "chat artifact" that we picked up was decyphered. Apparently, chatties are using a planet as a staging area. Of course, we are the ones to investigate the planet.

As we make our way to the planet, we are joined by STARS, Raptor (ret-conned appearance) and L377UC3. We find some local retired commandos willing to help us (NOBLE team and some extras that are original to THDF, setting is Winter Contingency). Battle takes place on Reach's map Spire (ToTS level, multiplayer level Spire), where the Chat desperately use outdated Trollvenant tech and soldiers to stop us from reaching their staging area. STARS sends us a frigate, and the audience hears a LEEROY JENKINS scream. The frigate is totaled from the OBVIOUSLY placed trollvenant supercarrier hangin' above.

By use of LNoS mission, Countdown and Anchor 9 map, the next setting is much similar to that of LNoS, but backwards. STARS lends us another frigate (destroyed due to irresponsibility), Supercarrier is destroyed, and we head back to the "station 69". Resistance is satisfied, and will start orbital bombardment once THDF is clear of the area. Sheer notifies the large amount of this Trollvenant splinter, and cuts the transmission. Of course, we are in the deep with no help. Station 69 is apparently totaled from a chat attack on it after the chat got word of the stations aiding of the rebels. We head back down to the surface again where we can make it to a slipspace worthy ship that is merely a cargo freighter with a few guns. (Pillar of Autumns remake "Pillar of Winter")

At this point, we've gotta escape. Use Boneyard and Pillar of Autumn levels. Our commando friends (once again, NOBLE team and Extras) follow us there, where they wish to escape the planet. Large fight occurs around the "Not-So-Commonwealth". Chatties have tanks and we have AR's and DMR's. We start cutting down the tanks when a Trollvenant Scarab appears. Lead Commando (Carter) hops into a Pelican and smashes into it (add humor, and leeroy scream). Our named extras die off after cutting through the blockade. Nerds cry. Only one last commando (emile) and one particularly special extra still live except for the main cast, and we make it to platform 777 (Platform Delta).

Large fight happens, pelican picks us up, and the special extra looks back at the commando who has just been killed by a trollvenant strike team. Heroic extra sacrafices himself, and apparently no one misses him and leaves him to die. :P

Epilouge:  Team is on Yoth, and they reflect the previous events. Funeral is held for the heros that died during the battle. Fade to black.

I was a bit vague on the details of the machinima, but thats my idea. A Reach campaign spin-off/parody, taking out the dramatic parts and replacing them with humor.
