Summer and Spring
April 24, 2238
City of New Haven

It was morning as the sun slipped through the barrack windows upon the resting souls. As the light finally reached the eyes of the Marines, they started to arise from their area 's of pure peace. The bunks squeaked with every waking marine, as the time came, Scott woke up to find Summer sleeping with him in the same bed. "Hmm? when did this happen", slowly Summer awakened and looked up at Scott, with her energetic blue eyes and gave him a quick kiss, and then got of the bed. Leaving Scott momentarily confused and not moving.

She was first to enter the shower and feel the warm water soak her, as she washed. The rest of the marines and Scott himself had to wait for the lady to finish her shower in the 25 person shower room, before they could enter. Finally after 25 minutes she appeared with a towel covering her and moved to the changing area. Following that moment the soldiers grumpily entered the shower room, Scott following last. He soon found a seculed spot from the rest of the marines and took a shower thinking over for the things that might happen today. Finally after a clean shower and dress up he and Summer went to the weapons locker, next to them in massive lockers were the armor for marines, and then there were two different lockers for the Spartans' Armor and weaponry.

With the two Spartans' and marines' suited up they checked their weapons. Scott was considered to be the Heavy Assault Unit for his variety of weapons. As all marines carried, he carried a M6D pistol, a shotgun, and the newest addition to UNCS weaponry - Plasma Coated, Laser Sharpened Titanium blades. He preferred two but usually went into battle with one. His belts carried up to 12 frags' and 6 plasma grenades he had swiped from a few dead Elites in the previous battle. Once he finished loading up, Summer came and chose her weaponry. A special custom made and tweaked Sniper Rifle. The Variant carried the same barrel of the original Sniper Rifle and the scope was modified to a range of 16x, and came with thermal vision. So that she could see if there were Elites in acitve camo in the area. Finally the Sniper Rifle came with a much larger clip, an eight round clip. She also took a shotgun with extra ammo. Allowing then for the marines to chose their weapons.

Over the speaker came the voice of Admiral Stewart "Spartans please report to my office immediately, i need to speak with you about something important". Following that the spartans left the room and walked to the Admiral's office. Three heavily armed marines were standing there as they entered and pointed their weapons at the Spartans and motioned them to sit down in the chairs near the desk. Confused but, following the notion of the soldiers they sat down. The Admiral turned around from looking through the window and said "I believe one of you two is responsible for the death of Sargent Woodson, and now the time has come for the confession. Now which one of you two was it, hmmm?" Before Summer could say anything about the incident where she had killed the Sargent as an act of mercy, because it was known the Covenant never take prisoners and if they do they are killed only through severe torture. "Sir, with all due respect Spartan-113 (Summer) only did what any other sniper in her position would have done, not to place out the fact that even if the other snipers had not done this and Sargent Woodson's mike was still working he would have given out the order to carry out an act of such magnitude upon him."

Summer noticed one of the Marines, was moving his finger closer towards the Assault Rifle's trigger. Soon scott noticed and through his AI in his suit he created a protected COM from the bases's AI from hacking and talked to Summer about their escape. Following his idea they both planned for making their run into the bases's science/weaponry room. In there they had seen a ring shapped object that opened up and a location on that world, that human world had appeared. They had planned on escaping through that created gateway to that human world hoping to seek refuge and hoping this world's forces would not act to get them. As soon as the Admiral turned around, Summer jumped up and punched that marine in the chest killing him, then brought his shotgun around upon the third marine and shot him the chest, she took the first dead marine's shotgun and then pointed it at the admiral, as Scott snappen the neck of the final marine in the room. Finally picking up his Assault Rifle, and beconning for her to go.

She finally withdrew from the room, and within seconds an alarm was set off. They both ran, faster then they had ever before. Only to reach in just in time in that specific room, as the soldier turned to see them, the two spartans opened fire immobilizing them instead of killing them. This planet was going to require every last soldier if it was to defeat the incoming Covenant fleet that would arrive within the next day. Scott punched in the coordinates, as Summer quickly took of her helmet and took of the locked of a heart that held the picture of them both. Then she put on the helmet, and turned around and opened fire upon any Marine that tried to cut them down with their Assault Rifle or pistol in order to stop their escape. Then suddenly there was BOOM! and the shotgun dropping from summer's hand as she starred at the Marine in front of her, his shotgun smoking from the shot. Scott seeing this opened fire upon the marine and any marine in the hallway trying to enter. 60 bullets exited from the clip into the barrel and then entered any marine that dared to come near. Finally exhausting his clip he unclipped a frag and pulled the pin and threw it in the hallway. Another BOOM!, following a few more screams and then a silence. Scott dropped his weapon and went and picked up Summer from the floor and then took of her helmet and his as well.

As he looked into her beautiful eyes he saw the life draining from her. He saw their time together and their time yet to come fading away. Tears formed in his eyes as he looked upon her. She finally spoke with her few last breaths of life "Scott....you need to go..." her stomach lurched against his chest as she coughed up some blood with Scott quickly wiped away "please...leave" following a short silence she looked one last time into his brown eyes and said "I love you...and I will always love you." With those final words he layed her down on the floor, still tearing and punched in a code on her suit with opened up a small interface. He activated the self-destruct sequence of the suit's fusion reactor and then noticed the locket in her hands. He carefully removed it from her grasp and got up. He heard more running footsteps in the hallway. He secured his helmet just in time to see the gateway open up in a city in the United States of America. He loaded a fresh clip into his Assualt Rifle and leapt through the gateway and passed out through its energies suring through him. As it opened and he fell through into a swimming pool and landed on the bottom of it surrounded by water. Just as that on the other side Summer's suit's reactor exploded destroying the gateway and everything within a 10 meter radius.

Deep within his mind where he floated in the darkness he met up with her again and then she disappeared. In those midst of the darkness he spoke to the darkness "Goodbye,...Summer."

Earth Reawakened Part II

Earth
March 22, 2556
Location: UNCS Territory, Area - Unkown

      Scott awakened as his shield alarmed blared in his ears, the irritation noise unable to shut off. As he managed to stand down he opened his eyes and through his visor he could see nothing but blue, and over to his top right he could see his shields recharging. "Good thing this damn suit wasn't damaged through the portal." As he turned around he saw his weapons a few meters from him, as he moved to pick them up a figure swam by him and picked up his battle rifle and his frags but managed to miss his pistol. Scott grabed the M6D pistol climbed out of what appeared to be a pool.

      As he turned, he saw a female standing with her shaky hands holding his battle rifle. As he moved his hand to his pistol, she opened fire. The three round burst caught him in the chest, his shields absorbed the impact and cut to half. Finally in all this time he heard his AI "Pull away! pull away!, what the hell! are you doing?!". He moved to the right and quickly back to his original position, but this time closer to the girl, grabbed the rifle out of her hands, turned on heel and ran. A few minutes later half a kilometer from the pool, he realized, he had forgotten to take his frags. The thought of turning around made him nervous so he moved on towards the city hoping to catch military personell. As he came to the city he saw what he was hoping he wouldn't see. A few banshee's flying around the buildings, pestering their weak structures with plasma and feul rod blasts. Below them covenant and marines engaged in a skirmish.

       "Well you covenant bastards, you're war against us took away the person who i cared about the most, now its my turn to return the favor". He activated the scope of his battle rifle and opened fire in a streaming shower of bullets. Three grunts, two jackals, and an Elite dropped as his clip went empty. He let the clip drop to the ground and reloaded a fresh one, and continued his onslaught. The marine's never understood what hit the covenant that were pinning them down until they saw the Spartan enter the picture. One of the marines in happiness cheered with his rifle raised and fired a few rounds into the air.

      The last standing Elite turned to see what had killed his troups as he saw the butt of a rifle coming forth upon his face, beyond that he saw no more. As Scott stood standing over the dead Elite, the marines jumped from their cover and came running down to greet him. He was still nervous, he had never been to this planet, all he knew was its name and what territory he was in. "Way to go, that was some insane suprise attack there sir" replied the marines. The first thing he remembered through his training was to report to a officer. "Spartan-119 reporting Sir!", as he finished the Sergeant looked confused. "How did you get here, all the Spartans died on reach, and as far as i recall there were no such Spartan's known as 119. Where are you from son?" said the sarge.

      "This may sound crazy but i'm not from the planet you call reach or was i born on earth, sir. I'm from a world called Summer, and it was destroyed by the Covenant 200 years ago" replied Scott.

       "Whatever you say son, but right now we have to get these covie bastards out of this city and planet. Make sure they regret ever attacking us!" said the Sergeant.

"Whatever you say sir" finally after a long silence Scott replied.

      He scrounged the surrounding area for any ammo or extra weaponry, he found a few covenant plasma pistols, and three plasma rifles. Upon seeing them he picked them checked their charges and clipped them to his belt. Just as he was about to lean towards the floor to pick up a few plasma grenades he felt something against his chest and a few moments later realized it was a locket. Then in a grim spectacle his memories fleeted back to him about the moment when he had lost Summer forever. Inside his visor tears filled in his eyes, as his hatred for the Covenant grew a hundred-fold. All because of this damn war he had lost her. But 200 years ago, their world had been far more advanced than the technological status of earth today. Each ship in their fleet had at least one level of shield and if not more. Finally to complement against the Covenant Cruisers, each ship carried a full torpedo bank of 12 anti-matter AI guided torpedoes

      Which in the long run did far more powerful damage to a ship then plasma torpedoes. While on one side, the plasma would melt away the Titanium-A armor on a battle cruiser or a frigate, but an Anti-matter charge would explode whenever it made contact with any form of matter regardless of what it is, and explodes in a very unstable fashion. Still he marveled as his inbuilt AI found its way through the human communication networks, and transferred the data back to his holographic viewer running through the inside of his visor. He looked through each space faring ship that could be armed with weapons for the space battles, and came across a ship called The Worlds of Summer. He remembered his planet's name matching correctly with this ship. He though over it maybe this was a coincidence or maybe it was related to fate, but something compelled him to board the ship and go to whatever destination it was going towards.






      Royu Rolamnee waited with anticipation as his scouts reported a group of humans coming towards them. He acknowledged the report and prepared for his first kill of the day on this pathetic planet. He motioned his second in command a bit ahead, as the humans turn the corner he opens fire. The first orbs of plasma from his rifle slamming into the chest of the human, burning away through the infidel's armor and killing him instantly. A few managed to kill two of the jackals under his command. Within seconds of the battle, he had to fall back. The humans had some how managed to overtake his fortified position and had opened fire upon him. A warning blared in his helmet as his shields popped from assualt rifle fire. A bullet caught his leg, but he kept running. A shot rings out and the final bullet catches the Elite in the back of the head. Purple blood and bits of brain splattered against a windshield. With that the Elie was put out of his misery.






      Far away in the other end of the road walks a Sage figure, with the barrel of his rifle still smoking. A shell ejects from the gun and pings upon the concrete road. A new bullet is then loaded into the barrel, waiting for its next victim.

"Sarge get you're men together and head back to HQ and tell them that i need passage upon the ship called "The Worlds Of Summer" said Scott.

      "Alright, but you'll need these" said Sarge. "Alright marines lets move out, back to HQ on the double lets go!" With that they left. Scott looked into his hand and saw a bunch of keys, a few yards down as the marines tunred the corner, he noticed a Warthog. He hadn't driven one of those since he was six. "Time to Rock!" he said to himself and ran. As the vehicle picked up speed he could see the fires in the city as buidling we're destroyed from Plasma Artillery. High above the city he could see a covenant cruiser with its gravity beam activated and small black dots floating down from the inside of the ship.

      He approached a covenant position and turned off the warthog. He pushed it near a corner a few hundred meters from a heavily fortified covenant position. He pulled three pins from his six frags, tossed them into the warthog, fired a three round burst into the covenant area. He turned on his heel and ran like a mad man, searching for a well covered position to snipe from using his battle rifle. A second later a large explosion erupted as the frags went of, and the explosion of the warthog and its chaingun ammo, expanded the blast radius. Shrapnel flew everywhere, two pieces caught Scott's shields and they dropped by half. "Shit!" he muttered to himself. Two Elites and 12 Grunts rounded the corner, with their plasma rifles and pistols at bear, following them were 4 Brutes. He had seen them on his home world before. Killed two marines in his squad with one backhand.

      He scoped in on the first Elite, and opened fire. Three rounds caught the Elite in the face, the second round took out his shield, and the final round ended his life. To conserve his ammo, Scott put away his battle rifle, took out the Plasma Rifle he had picked up earlier and opened fire from his covered position. When the rifle over heated, the second Elite, and four grunts lay drowning in their own blood. He quickly switched over to his battle rifle, tossing away his Plasma Rifle and opened fire upon the brutes. Within minutes of the battle all his enemies were dead and he moved forward towards the Cruiser.

BOOM! Scott was thrown of his feet and landed in the waist high stream below the brigde....






I'll finish this later, when i have more time again. First part i wrote was crappy and the plot kinda sucked, given a few pointers from some writers here i've worked on using the code, and I hope that i have done everything right.

Comments will be helpful and tips on improving things. Otherwise, thanks for reading. More of this will be coming soon...
