The Chief's Mission. by Watsaru

No Other Alternative Part 1
Date: 1 April 2004, 2:41 AM
The Matser Chief took cover behind a tree as a rocket wizzed past his head. "Damnit,Cortanna,thought of anything yet?" "Give me more time." He abandonned his cover and threw a plasma grenade onto a flood taken elite. "To hell,out of grenades!" A flood taken human whapped him in the shoulder. He took out his hotgun and blew its head off.
"Cortanna,now would be a good time for a last minute plan."
"I said give me more time.Five more minutes should do it."
He took cover behind another tree.A grunt came up to him with a fuel rod gun.He pistol whipped it,took off the bomb,threw it on a flood carrier,and ducked.It exploded and the carrier was in pieces.He quickly picked up the fuelrod gun and went to town.He tried to shoot one more time,but the battery was dead."I have it,go to the cliff edge."He did so."This better work Cortanna."A flood taken elite jumped at him."Dodge,now!" He dodged and the elite jumped straight off."That wont work for some Cortanna,it would've taken me five seconds to come up with that." He jumped up onto a rock and pulled out his assault rifle and started shooting them like mad.A flood virus carrier jumped and latched itself onto his arm. He shot it with the AR.There had to be hundreds of them.He ran out or AR ammo and he took out his shotgun."Die,die,die,die,die!"He yelled die everime he shot something,and it did."Damnit,DIE!"He took five shots to a carrier.It began to expand and he jumped for dear life as it exploded.The impact threw him more feet then he expected.He was thrown so far,he almost fell off the cliff edge.He landed face down in the dirt.He got up shooting his shotgun everywhere. Then a voice came into the com.."This is Pelican Echoe 419,anybody readin' me?" He laughed. "Loud and clear,Foehammer!"He dodged an attack by a humanflood."We need immediate dustoff,take'er down just above me so I can jump in." She came down five feet,and the Chief jumped up and grabbed the edge.A marine helped him up. "Heya,Chief.""Parez,thanks.""No problem sir,just doing my job."He sat down next to him."Now what,sir?" The Chief looked out the jump bay."No idea." A flood jumped up into the bay."Kill it,marines!" After two seconds,thousands of bullets came from the marines assault rifles. It started backing up,and finally fell out."Damn,those things jump high."He looked at them.They were battle worn,nervous wrecks."This is to much battle,even for me."They flew off,farther down the ring.
They finally stopped after eighteen hours of flying."Nice place."It was nothing but bodys and scorches.A few flood,alot of marines,and even more covenent."Looks like the covenent are losing just as badly as us,sir."He went up to one of the covenent bodys."Yeah,same."A flood body started to twitch.He took out his shotgun and emptyed the entire barrel on it."Over kill much,sir?"It was litteraly in pieces."Just making sure it was dead.They do get back up."He looked around and saw a flipped warthog.He grinned under his helmet.'Perfect..'He thought to himself.He motioned to two of the marines,Parez and Banks,and they followed him.He kicked over the warthog and got in the drivers seat.Parez got side seat and banks took gunner."Punch it!"He stomped the gas and it hit onehundred and fifty miles per hour in no time at all.A flood got up,but he made roadkill out of it."Nice one,sir!""Thanks."A plasma came out of nowhere and latched onto the gunner barrel.Banbks jumped off and rolled into a doorway.Chief and Parez jumped out as it was about to go off a cliff.It was about halfway down it when it exploded."That was close."
A yell boomed from the doorway Banks rolled into,and his headless body came flying out of it."What the hell...?"A flood taken Hunter came out of the doorway,actually,ten of them."Time to run!"Messaged Cortanna,and they did,like hell.The Chief turned around,running backwards,and started to shoot at them.Parez immediately stopped,but the Chief wasn't paying attention.Hey ran staright off the edge."GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He kept falling.He fianlly hit water.He swam to the surface.
He got out of the water and onto a cliff side ledge and begam to climb. "This might take forever."Foehammer came out from ontop of the cliff and floated down to him.The chied took this moment and hurled himself tward its jump bay.He made it in,rolling.He immediately got up and strapped himself in."Glad to have you back,Chief."Said Parez.The Chief handed him his AR ammo."You're out,here."He counted the marines,there were only five of them left,including Parez."What happened to the others?"Parez looked at him."Dead,those hunters took them out with ease."The Chief sighed."Perfect,now we don't even have enough force to take on the flood."

Foehammer touched down on the frosted peaks of the mountain region."Sir,how're we supposed to get to the top? The corps issued me a rifle,not wings." "Easy,there's a banshee hanger near here,about 150 clicks. We commandeer a couple of them,me,you,and Parez are going.The rest of the marines are backup." Parez took out his pistol and checked the barrel. "Sir,do you think we can make it?" The Chief looked over at him. "I'm not sure.Motion tracker shows thousands of enemys." Parez took out his AR. "Thousands,eh? Save a few for me,Chief." The Chief laughed. "Will do,Parez."
They charged into the hanger firing in every direction,but there was nothing to shoot. "All dead.." The Chief walked over to opne of the flood's corpses and kicked it. "Yeah,definatley dead." Parez came around the corner. "Sir,one of the banshees is missing." The Chief stiffined. "What?!" He followed Parez. "You said there were four,right?" He counted them,only three. "This is bad,one of the flood or covenent must've escaped." Parez looked at him sternly. "It was a flood,sir." The Chief walked over to him. "A flood now has a banshee? Not good,if it takes over the banshee,it could make a,a,a super flood." Parez laughed. "A 'Super Flood'?That sounds like something out of a comic book." The Chief got into one of the banshees. "Let's go,Parez." Parez hopped into the next one. "Corporal,here's the plan. We fly these banshees up to the main power grid and knock out the power to the canyon. Then,I tap into the teleportation grid while this black-out has taken affect. Then,I'll be able to teleport us to the Pillar of Autumn." They flew up to the main power control center and landed. "Ok,inside,go,go,go!" They opened the door and sneaked in. "Cortana,we need the best course of action to sneak past the flood." "Well,with those numbers,it's practically impossible. But there might be a way..The main ventalation shaft leads to the power grid.Try that." The Chief bashed in a grate and jumped into the ventalation shaft. "Parez,you next." Parez jumped up and the Chief grabbed his hand and helped him up.They crawled to the main power grid. "Ok,Chief,do what you do best." The Chief took out his pistol and blasted the power grid. "Ok,hacking." The door suddenly blasted open and flood started to poor into the room. "Parez,let's go!" They went to town on the flood with their AR's. "Cortana,any prgress yet?" "Almost,Chief,give me a few more seconds." He and Parez kept blasting them,and then a flood came in with a rocket launcher. "Ah,Cortana,now would be a good time to spedd up the operation!" "Done,teleporting....NOW!" They disapeared.
They landed on the Pillar of Autumn. "Ok,good." Suddenly,the Chief fell down. "Hmmmm,wrong coordinates.." The Chief punched the left side of his head. "Right,sorry." The Chief helped up Parez and dusted him off. "Ok Cortana,let's go." They pushed forward into the Autumn. "Nothing at all,where are they?" He got up from his knee. "Noting,completely barren.." Suddenly something whapped him from behind. "Not funny,Parez." "It wasn't me, sir." A shot came from mid air and hit him. "Agh,what the hell...?" He took out his AR and shot in every direction. Parez ducked avoiding the bulets. Suddenly a flood dropped and came into view. "An active camo.." He kicked it's corpse. "Damn things..." He pushed on. "Cortana,we need some heavy wepons.Where's the armory?" "Just follow the arrows." He looked down. An arrow was pointing ahead labeled,'Armory'. "Oh,er,move it!" He moved into the armory and took out a STF (Special Task Force) Elite. "Parez,over there,we need those." Parez picked up a Rocket Launcher. "Nice choice,sir." He grinned. "Only four shots,but it's worth it." The Chief picked up a shot gun. "Lock and load."
The Chief whapped the grunt in the breathing apparatus and cracked it open. The grunt starting gasping for breath and finally fell over,dead. "Chief,here. We're at the main deck. Insert me into the computer." The Chief took out Cortana's chip and inserted it into the main hard-drive. Her holographic immage came into view on the holo-pad. She looked around. "I leave home for a few days,and this happens."Two beams of energy came from the window and blasted the main CPU Screen. "Chief,now would be a good time to leave."
The Chief jumped into a hole as an energy beam whizzed past his head. "Cortana,now what?" "I got it,Chief. Get out of this hole and run to the utility shafts.We can take cover in there." He pulled out his shotgun and jumped out of the hole,strafeing to the left and firing. The utility door slid open and he rolled inside.

A sentinal came into the shafts but the Chief blew it down with one shot. "Cortana,were are the Aumtumn's engines?" "In the engineering level,we should be able to acces it if we go through Cryo 2." The Chief kicked in the door. Parez was there fighting off som STF Elites. "Chief,thank god! I need some help here!" He dodged a plasma grenade and rolled off to the side to avoid the explosion. The Chief took out his RL and blew those friggin Elites to Kingdom Kuhm. "Thanks,Chief." "No prob." The Chief heard a squid-like noise and looked behind him. Hundreds of flood carriers were comeing after the both of them. "Time to go,Chief!" Said Cortana. The Chief took out his SG and started shooting them,but just to make more flood virus carriers. He whipped out his RL again and blew'em all away with one shot. "Nice shot,Chief."
The Chief ducked as a rocket wizzed past his head. "Ok,Parez,this is were you come in." H ehanded him his RL. "You go on,I'll hold them off as you blow the engines to Kingdom Kuhm." Parez nodded and made his tward the engines.
"Chief,I'm at the engines." "Good,just press the switches and shoot the engines as they come into view." "Yes-what the hell is that?'You must surrender the construct to me now! I do not ant to take it by force,but,if I must I must.' CHIEF! I HAVE MULTIPLE SENTINELS ON MY TAIL!" "Blast'em with your shotgun,one shot should do it!*BLAM,BLAM!*'CHIEF,IT ISN'T WORKING! THEY HAVE SHIELDS,I CAN'T PENETR-*KZZZZZZZZZZT!* OH,NOOOOOOO!*Thud**KZZZZZZZZZZT,KZZZZZT!*PAREZ,PAREZ!?" The Chief got up and ran for the engine room blasting flood all the way. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR,RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He kept yelling as he blasted his way to the engine room. He saw GuiltySParka dn started shooting it,but his bullets just bounced off.He picked up the RL from Parez's dead body. "Rest well,Corporal." The Chief went over to one of the switches and toggled the button.
He blasted the last engine. "Chief,that did it! We need to move out,scanning....Come in,Echoe 419,do you read me? Over?'I read you Cortana,good to hear from ya.' The Chief and I need immediate dust-off. Meet us at the main junction point.'Roger,Cortana,Echoe 419 in-bound.'Chief,there's an elevtaor that can take us to the top.Just follow the Nav Point."The Chief kicked in a door and barged in,ready for anything. "Er,Cortana? Where's the lift?" Then it came into view,with Covenent on it. The Chief paused and stared,and so did the Covenent.It was thirty seconds of total silence when,"Chief,today would be good?" He took out his SG and blew all of them away. A grunt had a fuel-rod gun and it exploded.The Chief got onto the lift. Explosions started,everywhere. "Echoe 419,think you can speed things up a bit?'Roger that,Cortana. Be there shortly.'"The Chief got off the elevator and made his way to a warthog and got in. He lowered the visor and the kleys dropped into his hand.He put them into the ignission and turned the key. "Let's rock."He pounded the gas and zoomed off.
"Echoe 419,the Chief and I need extraction now,ON THE DOUBLE!'Roger,Cortana,Foehammer on approach.'" The Chief ramped over an edge and landed on the junction point."Wait,stop! This is where Foehammer is going to pick us up." Foehammer came around the corner,and so did two Covenent Banshees. "Foehammer,two Covenet Banshees comeing at you from your six,evade,I repeat,evade!'AUGH! DAMN,I'VE BEEN HIT! ENGINES FAILING! CORTANA,CHIEF,FORGET IT! MOVE,ON!*Static*'Echoe 419!..........She's gone,there's nothing we can do.Scanning....Cargo readings shows that there is still one long sword fighter decked in the main launc bay.If we move now,we can still make it!" The chief stomped the pedal of the gas and moved tward the main launch bay.
The Chief zoomed over the ramp and landed."There's the ship! We need to get aborad,NOW!" He got ou and ran toward the long sword fighter.A flodd jumped at him,but he dodged it and turned to fire when Cortana said,"CHIEF! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GET ABORAD THE SHIP NOW!" He jumped tward the door and just made it in. He immediatley got up and closed the dorr,but a Covenent pryed the door open with its claws,but only to be met with the Chief's pistol to it's face.
The Aumtumn exploded.It sent parts of the ring flying into other parts. The engines started to go critical. "Shut them down,we'll need them later." The Chief leened back into the chair. "Fancy a look?" Said Cortana. He got up and walked to the window. "Did anyone else make it?" "Scanning.........Nothing. Nothing but dust and echoes. We're all that's left. The flood,Parez,the marines........An entire Covenent Armada OBLITERATED! We're all that's left! But we did what we had to do! We had no other alternative!" The Chief sat down in the pilots chair. "Halo,it's over..." "No,I think it's just beginning."
