Return to Jevan: Part one, Lets Move Out

Return to Jevan: Part one, Lets Move Out
When the covenant first discovered the human colonies in 2520 the humans were scared, they thought these hostile aliens would find earth and all would be lost.
Panic gripped many cities around earth and its colonies and people started to leave the planets that were anywhere near the first planet that was destroyed, those who stayed were destroyed as the covenant marched across the galaxy.
There was a planet called Savier that was the furthest colony from earth and double that distance away from the last known place the covenant had attacked.
For many people who were fleeing the covenant this was the perfect place to live and for the military to recruit soldiers, and take children for future Spartans.
The Spartans on Savier had never seen real combat only years of training. The war against the covenant had been going for 11 years and the humans had done next to nothing to the aliens.
The main training camp for spartans was in Jevan, the capital of the planet, but a few of the super soldiers were on their way to a secret base far from the city the day the covenant arrived.
The covenant had spotted a human cruiser, travelling from a colony the covenant were just about to destroy, so they sent two small ships with cloaking devices to follow the cruiser from a distance and report back.
They travelled for weeks following the ship, filled with people waiting to live in this 'safe' new colony, and eventually entered a solar system far from anywhere the covenant had ever been. The Human cruiser entered Savier's atmosphere and the pilot elites sent word back to the ship of the planet and the co-ordinates.
The covenant arrived in a week and bombed all the cities they could find, including Jevan.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed and almost all the spartans on the planet.
When the 4 spartans that had left Jevan had almost reached the base they met with a whole company of marines that told the spartans of the attack and that they had been out on a training camp in the jungle when the secret base had been destroyed and that the marines think they are the only military force on this side of the colony
July 12, 2531, 0100hours, Planet: SAVIER.
Chad stared at him self in the mirror his pupils were swollen from the lack of light, Power had been dimmed since the first banshee had flown over.
Chad was a Spartan the only chief ranked spartan in the company, which put him in control.
The small camp gave off a dull glow from the outside, a glow any Covenant scout would see if they even came close to the area.
"Time to move out sir" came a voice from just out side the tent door.
"Yes i know private," Replied the Spartan
He flicked down his visor and walked out into the darkness, he could feel the frost under his boots but he wasn't cool in his suit.
Looking around he could see the crew of his team stand around the troop carrier waiting for orders to move out.
The Company had split into 3 groups and each group had a spartan, Chad's group had two.
He did not want to give the order and send this fine group of soldiers and not to mention himself into a mission they almost certainly will not return from.
"Sir" Said the driver The Spartan just stood there staring at his troops. "Chief" the Private called again. Chad immediately swung his head around to look at the nervous looking driver.
"What is it soldier" the Spartan said sternly
"Um its time to go Sir" uttered private Angus from the drivers seat
"Alright" The Spartan spoke loudly to his crew "Lets move it out"
Cheers and sounds of excitement filled the camp as the marines piled into the back of the huge green truck. It had room for 12 in the back and two in the front and it was completely full. Guns were hanging out the holes in the sides of the truck; marines were ready to shoot before they even left the camp.
Angus started the truck and drove it off toward their destination.
As the Spartan looked back from the passenger seat he could see the rest of the team following behind, two Warthogs (one with a grenade launcher on the turret and another with a chain gun) and two all terrain four wheel motorbikes.
With the 12 in the back of the truck, 2 in the front of the truck, 2 riding the ATV's and 2 in each warthog they had a team of 20
Their destination: Jevan
The journey to Jevan lasted a few hours, the Spartan sat still and quiet for the entire trip until, "Stop here" he told the driver from the passenger seat.
The truck was still 2 and a half kilometres from the city, it was about 3 in the morning and the glow from the burned out city hovering in the clouds was the only light in the sky.
Most of the Buildings had been bombed and had collapsed but a few still stood Burning high above the ground.
"The covenant will have radars and scouts all over the city, if we go any closer in their radar will spot us for sure" Chad told his men while signalling the rest of the party to stop.
"Ok everyone out" He beckoned to his men. "Now I'm going to take one of these ATV's and I want chipper to take the other"
Chipper was the other Spartan that had come with Chad's group.
"Sir" Chipper said while nodding to the chief
"And I want you Angus to drive that warthog with the grenades on the back." He ordered the young private
"Y- y- Yes sir" Stuttered Angus.
"And you two I want on that warthog too." Chad said this much to the two soldiers surprise.
He had just picked a skinny dark haired Australian sniper named Maxwell to sit in shotgun of the warthog and a huge African American named Fisk to take the gun on the back
They quickly glanced at each other and said "Us Sir?"
"Yes you" Said the Chief "now get a move on"
They all ran to there assigned position
"Ok" Chad said to the other 15 men "Lieutenant" Lieutenant Foster stepped forward. I want you to take the rest of these men to that canyon over there" The Chief pointed to a canyon about 6 or 7 hundred metres away. "And when you get there set up a look out post hide the truck at the bottom and have men stationed on every side, Wait for me there until I give you more instructions and if you see any thing coming up from behind us don't hesitate to call."
"Sir Yes Sir" Replied the Lieutenant
As Foster turned to get back in the truck Chad Said "And Lieutenant"
"yes Sir" "Don't be seen" Replied the Spartan
Foster grinned back at the Chief and turned to his team in the other warthog and the rest standing near the truck and called "Lets move out"
Once the Lieutenant had left Chad turned to the four who were left and said "Well lets go back to Jevan!"

~~~NOTE~~~
Sorry to any one who wanted to read the next part of my series but I have been caught up reading The Fall Of Reach. Damn that was a good book

0300 hours Covenant cruise ship, makeshift head quarters, center of Jevan
"The city is ours" Kerod told the old Prophet sitting forward eagerly in his chair "what of the human base?" the Prophet asked. "Gone the humans are all dead" replied the Jackal "Good, then all is going to plan". The Prophet sat back in his chair with a small grin on his face. "Um but there is one thing sir" the Jackal said with unease. "And that would be" the prophet said patronizingly "well um we found all the Spartans that were in the training facility and they are now dead although we lost a lot of troops to them, actually a lot is an understatement and..." He was cut short by the prophet "get to the point you little worm'. "a-a-Ok well we had some engineers salvage the human military computers and well they said that a crew of Spartans was heading to a small hidden base a few hours south-east of here" Kerod stopped and took a step back, the prophet just stared at him waiting for him to continue. " Well we sent a team of banshees and a platoon of Jackals to the base and they took the humans out but there were no Spartans." "So where are the Spartans!" the prophet was impatient and glared at the Jackal "um well um that's the um thing we don't exactly know, one of the banshee's reported seeing a group of lights on its way back to the city which could have been the surviving humans camp but when a team arrived there was no one there ". As soon as Kerod had finished the sentence the prophet clicked his fingers and the two Brutes who had been standing next to him pulled there plasma pistols out and pulled the trigger. The jackal fell to the ground without his head
0325 hours Covenant patrol team, Outskirts of Jevan
the red Elite woke from his dream "Captain Teedak here" the grunt on the other end of the radio asked. "None, no nothing all day" "Can do, if we see them they wont last long" replied Teedak. Teedak was the leader of a scouting team that consisted of 10 grunts 5 jackals and two blue Elites. Teams like his were patrolling all over the city.
The Elite woke the rest of his team and told them to keep watch around the area.
0330 hours Chad's crew, Outskirts of Jevan
"Wait" Chad said over his built in radio "Cut the engines". Private Angus switched the Warthog off "I see something on my motion tracker" Chad was looking at his motion tracker it showed 6 or seven red dots, they would have been about two blocks up and around the corner. "Get ready to engage" The Chief got off his bike and stared to creep forward down the half destroyed road, he looked right and then left and something caught his eye. About two meters to his left was something moving on the ground. He crept forward and he realized it was a grunt, fast asleep on the ground, it was rising up and down he could hear it breathing. He was now right next to it. He unclipped his assault rifle an raised it above his head and brought it back down with a crack, the little Covie's skull was smashed in, it fell forward from his sitting position. Blue blood poured from its head and the Grunt died silently on the cracked pavement. Chad clipped his rifle back to his side and searched the dead Grunt for Grenades, he found two. Chad turned to Chipper (the other Spartan in the crew of five) and through him one of the plasma grenades. "Ok team" The Chief had a plan "Maxwell climb up the pile of ruble and find cover to snipe from" "Yes sir" The marine said as he snuck off towards the destroyed building. "You Angus take cover behind that car over there and don't shoot till I tell you" "uh ok sir" Angus walked over to the car near the Warthog which was parked in the right lane of the busted up road. "Fisk I want you to stay in the gunner seat of the warthog but stay down I don't want them to see you" "Sir" He said in his deep voice. " And Chipper you take that side of the street ill take the left. With that they all split up and went to there positions, the Spartans were crouching in the darkness against what was left of the buildings on either side of the road. " Ok here they come" Chad said as he saw two Jackals shields come to life as the creature walked around the corner about 35metres up the road.
They waited as the creatures walked down the road toward them followed by four Grunts. Chad could hear them talking in their strange language, but then a grunt spoke in English "Now where is he I told him to come down and search this road about twenty minutes ago" "He probably fell over and knocked him self out knowing him" another grunt said with a laugh.
Chad looked over to Chipper and signaled him to engage the enemy. A light winked in Chad's HUD telling him that Chipper was ready.
The Covenant were in a tight bunch, two Jackals in front and the four grunts trailing by a few meters.
Chad sparked his plasma grenade and through it at the Jackals, Chipper did the same, Chad's grenade landed right on the Jackals foot and Chippers bounce passed the Jackals and toward the Grunts. A Grunt saw Chad's grenade land on his team mate and yelled "GRENADE" then dove for cover but he dove straight onto Chippers bouncing grenade.
The jackal ran around for a moment shaking his foot and screaming until both grenades exploded and killed both Jackals and two of the Grunts.
Fisk started the chain gun and filled the other two Grunts with the hot bullets from the chain gun.
Chad stood "Good work men"
Piece of cake Chipper said with confidence
0345 Covenant Patrol
"Come in"..."Come in"......"Damn no answer, what do they think they are doing" Teedak was trying to contact the team he had sent to find the missing Grunt.
"Ok you two" Teedak pointed to the Blue Elites "Go down to where we last had contact with them and find out what's going on, Take those two Jackals and the rest of the Grunts I'm sick of looking at them. "Yes sir" the Elites said in their deep gurgley voices.
0400 Chad and his team
The Warthog rolled down the street slowly Fisk was swinging the gun from side to side looking for Covenant, Chad and Chipper walked in front guns at the ready.
"wait I think I heard something Chipper said. They all stopped and listened......
Nothing on my motion tracker "Chad told Chipper "Ok maybe it was nothing she said
They waited a few moments and decided to keep going. They took a few steps and seemingly out of no were jumped an Elite followed closely by two Jackals with shields ready. The Elite was right in the middle of road between Chad and Chip.
Gutsy move Chad thought.
The Elite turned and opened fire on Chad, but he was quick he dodged the bullets while firing back the Elites shields flared and took the bullets Chipper started to fire with her pistol. The Elite took the shots in its back; the bullets weakened its shields a lot, but this just made him mad.
The Elite turned to Chipper and hit her in the chest with all of its strength, her shield took most of the hit but it still sent her flying backwards through a half destroyed wall.
While the Elites shields were down Chad opened fire on his unprotected back and the rounds went straight through the creatures Armour. The Elite turned back to Chad and went to fire but sniper shot went into his head taking out most of his skull. The Elite fell dead. Chad dove behind a burned out car for cover from the Sprays of plasma the Jackals were sending his way. He turned to Maxwell who was up on one of the on balconies left standing on the wall and nodded in appreciation.
Chad turned back toward the Jackals and fired but the bullets just bounced off, as the jackals turned toward him a well-placed shot from Angus took out the Jackals arm piece and his shield died Chad jumped up and ran at them firing his assault riffle at shield less Jackal who was getting flung around from the amount of bullets speeding into his body, He was dead before he hit the ground.
Chad turned to the other Jackal who was firing as quick as he could at the charging Spartan, the plasma just hit his shield doing no damage.
Chad ran and jumped at the Jackal with both legs out stretched and kicked his shield with all his weight, Chad flared from the impact and Chad could fell the heat from the shield through his armor
The Jackal flow back and landed face down on his shield he screamed from the burning plasma shield. Chad raised his rifle and fire a few quick shots into the Jackals back, He stopped screaming and moving.
He felled pleased with him self and turned to his mates just in time to see a plasma grenade fly from behind him land on the Warthog.....
