Chapter 1: Free Fall
1747 Hours November 15, 2553
Orbit above Earth over Africa and Asia


The Master Chief could see Earth now.It looked lik flowers were blooming all over the planet.He wished he could have been there sooner to help.It was time to stop the Covenant SOB's now.

"Master Chief, the ship right below us, is repairing its shields.They should be down for about 5 minutes.I think we should try to land right here,"Cortana said as a NAv point showed up on his visor."There's a maintenance door there and it'll be a short crawl to get into the ship,"she said in a calm voice.

He knew it wouldn't be easy but he had to take the risk.He took his MA8A Battle Rifle and put it on his shoulder.He pulled a lever that said,"WARNING:Permission required!"He didn't care so he pulled it and the glass doors of the bay began to open.You could see lose stuff fly out of the bay.He looked around the corner and jumped.He went flying through the door and into space.


He landed on the Covenant Crusier with ease and opened the door.There was a crawl space and it was about 1 metter tall and he could see light at the end about 40 yards away.As he was crawling, he past a vent and heard a Elite and a Brute talking.

"WHAT!?!You stupid idiot!How dare you say that to me!" the Elite said.

"We should have killed those marines when we had the chance you ignorant jerk," the Brute said.
As the Brute was turned around, He saw the Elite turn on his Plasma Sword.The Brute turned around with fear in his eyes as the plasma sword cut right through him.The Elite spat on his body and siad dumb brutes in an angry voice.He thought to myself,"Atleast they are killing eachother now."


He made his way down and opened the hatch.He looked around, it looked the same as the Truth and Reconciliation.He knew where to go.He turned the corner and saw a three grunts sleeping silently against the wall and two jackals walking back and forth.He took out a frag grenade and threw it at the jackals.By the time they saw it, they were just shreds of steaming meat.The grunts woke up but he quickly put them back down with 3 shots from his gun.


As he made his way through, he came into the altilery bay.There were 50 shades, 25 wraiths, 40 banshees, and 35 ghosts.He saw that there were about 5 to 7 grunts in the area and he saw a dead marine behind him.There was a sniper rifle and he zoomed in at 10x and picked them off.All of a sudden he felt something hit his back.He turned around to see a frightened jackal with his hand on the trigger of a plasma pistol.The MC smacked him in his head and he fell to his knees dead.All of a sudden 3shades were firing at him.The metal below him was melting away and he fell through the hole.The Elites jumped out of their shades and ran toward him.Then they turned on their swords and the MC knew it would be hard.He climbed on top of a Wraith and started to fire.One Elite jumped high into the air and landed right beside the MC.He sliced down but the MC jumped away and it went through the metal of the wraith.The MC rolled behind the Elite and hit him in his back.He grabbed his sword from his hands and turned it on.Now it would be easy.He jumped down on top of one and started to strangle him.He drew the sword up and stabbed him in his chest and the elite fell dead as a rock on the floor.He took his sword too.Now he had two swords and he easily killed the third one.

All of a sudden the door opened and 2 hunters, 2 brutes and 4 jackals came in.He threw one of the plasma swords at the hunter and it went right through his neck.His brother was pissed and shot his fuel rod at him.It exploded sending the MC slamming into one of the Wraiths.His shield were pulsing red.He waited a mintue and then came up.He threw a grenade and two jackals blew up and scattered the place with blood.He went behind the other two and sliced one's head off and the other's arm off.The one with the arm off bleed to death while screaming.A brute was charging at him and the MC turned off his sword and charged too.Right before he was on top of him, the MC kneeled on the ground and turned his sowrd on.The brute went righ over it and his legs came off.He looked down at the brute and cut his head off.The Hunter charged his fuel rod gun and a brute was charging at the same time.He knew that the brute would die in an instand and just stood there.The green plasma shot went right throught the brute's chest and he fell dead.The shot hit a ghost and it blew up, knowcking the MC on the ground and losing his plasma sword.He took his pistol out and charged the hunter.At the last second the MC jumped and the hunter hit him with his shield.The MC went flying into the air and turned.He shot three quick burst of bullets into the orange part of the hunter.He hit the ground with a thud and orange blood was everywhere.The MC's shields were down put he found a health pack and was quickly healed.He began going towards the control room.



After going though hallways and hallways he came to the control room.There was a gold elite, two brutes, and three jackals.He took out his rifle and went too 2x and shot both jackals in the head.They didn't know where it was coming from and one brute went down.He took out his plasma grenade and threw it at the other one.He gasped and blew to pieces.The gold elite charged and the MC tired to shoot his weapon but it went click."SHIT!"He said under his breathe.


He ran and picked up a plasma rifle.He shot once and then it jammed.Luckily it was a direct hit and the Elite's shields went off.He had to face him in hand combat.He punched the elite's hand and his gun went flying.Both their arms were in the air pushing eachother.The MC kneed the elite in the stomach and he fell to the ground.He elbowed him in the back of the head quickly and heard a CRACK as his spine broke.


He inserted Cortana into the covenant ship."I cut off all power, unlocked all doors , and opened compartments for 1 minute each.Some of the Covenant should be sucked out and die in space so it'll help you out, now go to the shuttle bay.I called for evac they should be here in 10 minutes,"Cortana said.


He made his way to the shuttle bay.He couldn't believe his eyes.There were 8 hunters,6 Brutes, 4 goldenElites, about a dozen jackals, and almost 30 grunts.He was about to throw his grenades when all of a sudden 10 missles came roaring in.Direct hits everywhere only 3 grunts, 1 hunter and 1 brute were left.They were quickly taken down by the 30 mm chain guns.


He jumped into the pelican and he saw ten marines in their combat suits.They took off towards Earth and he knew he'd be informed on the rest later.

To be continued...............

Chapter 2 Part 1:
1820 Hours November 15, 2553
New Mombasa, East African Protectorate


The Pelican swooped in from the sky above and headed straight for the city. Dimmed explosions could be seen through the clouds and lines of blue lights could be seen from the city's upper plate structuring. New Mombasa, one of the few floating capital cities, was under attack from the Covenant. While on their way Cortana was fed the information from SOL FLEETCOM HQ about what was going on and relayed it to the Chief and the marines on board.

"...it took two in the nose, then dropped into the atmosphere." she said. The Chief watched as the city got larger and watched the chaos from a distance. Sergeant Johnson was next to the Chief in the cockpit along with the two pilots in the ODST's uniform.

" Who was first contact?" the Chief asked. Johnson turned his head to the Chief and spoke.

" 405th out of Diego Garcia...but don't expect a big welcome. Covenant wiped most of 'em out before they hit the ground." The Pelican continued on its way and passed over a pair of scout snipers on a roof top looking over one of the main avenues. The spotter activated his radio as he looked down his range finder. There were several enemy units running by followed by four pieces of Covenant armor.

" Immediate 3-Kilo-2-3 is hot. Recommend mission abort." the Spotter said. The Pelican's pilot continued going, but slowed down a bit for maneuvering.

The pilot replied back, " Roger, recon." He turned back to Johnson who was hanging onto the back of the copilot's seat. " It's your call, Sergeant."

Johnson pointed forward, " We're goin' in," he turned back to the troops and barked, " GET TACTICAL, MARINES!" The ODSTs in the back checked their weapons and put on their helmets. A moment later plasma flak was coming in from the surface. The pilot stayed on course as blue explosions that were double the size of plasma grenades went off all around them. The pilot was well within New Mombasa dodging the flak and flying around the buildings that littered the floating giant.

" Covenant ground forces own this city." Cortana said, " We'll need to deal with them before we can kill that cruiser." The Pelican went through more flak and suffered no damage. The firing stopped as it got ready for a landing on a roof. There was a landing pad set up waiting for it as the dropship deployed its landing gear and pointed its thrusters downward to make a landing. The ramp was let down and Johnson jumped off the back end waving his arm forward.

" GO GO GO!" he yelled as the marines hopped off. The Master Chief stepped out of the dropship and took a look around. The sides of the nearby buildings had plasma burns and portions missing due to heavy weapons fire. He watched as the marines ran from the dropship and disappeared around the corner going down a ramp. The Chief followed and heard Johnson over the radio. " I'll evac the wounded. Keep me posted, Cortana." In the background they could hear heavy gun figting up ahead and knew it wouldn't be easy.

" Of course, Sergeant." Cortana replied. A marine stopped the Chief before he went down the ramp and gave a quick salute. The marine , like everyone else, was shorter than the Chief and sported an MA8A.

" Sir - Corporal Perez, A Company. CP's this way." he said. Perez lead him down the ramp and ran past a pair of marines who were helping each other out and were shocked to see the Chief. The wounded one didn't believe what he was seeing. The Chief continued on his way ignoring what the marines were saying. He had gotten to the point where he was just used to that kind of talk.

As he continued they were coming up on the company's medical station. On the ground to the Chief's left was a medic frantically pumping on a wounded man's chest. The medic's face and the area was covered with the wounded man's red blood . To his right were two medics inside the main tent trying to save a man's life. It was hell for them at that moment. The Chief was crossing a road when two marines on patrol ran past him. Perez finally stopped and the Chief saw a medic looking down at his watch and at the man he couldn't save. " I'm calling it. It's 19:00." the medic said.

" The lieutenant got hit as soon as we dropped in." Perez explained gesturing to the corpse on the ground.

" Who's in charge now, Corporal?" Cortana asked.

Perez pointed behind him," Sergeant Banks ma'am.He's pinned down out front. C'mon I'll show you."The corporal ran through the building he pointed to and lead the Chief inside. They past by a pile of rubble and a wounded marine on the stairs as they went up. They could hear machine gun fire and plasma weapons. They passed the machine gun and the happy marines operating near it. Finally Perez stopped just inside a doorway leading to the outer area. Perez ducked around the corner and shouted to a marine that was hiding, " Oye - Parsons!"

Yeah? " Parsons replied keeping his head down.

" Is it clear?" When Perez finished his sentence a massive explosion took apart a section of wall just a few feet from where Parsons was. Loose rubble hit the marines and the Chief.

" You tell me!" Parsons replied. Perez ducked back behind the door and checked his weapon.

He mumbled something and ran out shouting, " Friendlies - movin out! Covering fire!" Parson, Perez, and two others including the Chief ran to the edge over looking the street and began firing on the Covenant down below. Plasma fire was shot back from the Grunts and Jackals down on the street. The Chief went right hugging the wall while firing his assault rifle in 2x mode along the way. When he reached the end of the wall he went through a door and a ramp was there.

" Grunts down low!" A marine yelled. The Chief went over and looked down on five Grunts that were slowly walking by. He threw an M9 by them, it exploded killing them, and leaving a small crater. He fired at the last of the two grunts in the area that they were across from. The Chief saw out of the corner of his eye a marine waving his hand. It was Sergeant Banks. The Chief ran over to the sergeant who was leaning his back up against the remains of a wall. In his hand was an M7C submachine gun.

I asked for reinforcements...I didn't think they'd send a Spartan." Banks said exhausted. The Chief saw a bright blue light beginning to form and looked up at a Covenant artillery piece. He had seen this type before, but it was forever ago. Not since before the Reach disaster. The artillery piece built up a charge and then fired taking out a whole side of a building. " We gotta take that thing out..cover me!" Banks said, exposing half of him to the street below. " TAC HQ - this is Sergeant Banks. I've got hostile artillery 200 meters north-northeast of my position. Bring smoke NOW, over.." he said over his radio. There was a moment before he got any response.

" Hostile is right.." a marine replied. Again the artillery piece fired, but this time it was alot closer. The explosive hit the side of a nearby building exposing the inside of the structure.You could see dead marine bodies falling out and littering the ground below.One dead body got blood on a grunt and the grunt beside him said," HA! I didn't know that you were on your period!" Then they were shot down by some marines.

" Dammit, HQ - is anybody on this freq?" Banks demanded.


Banks got a reply, " Sergeant this is Major Easley. Hang tight - we're inbound" The Chief looked up at the artillery as it blew away another structure. He looked at his radar and red dots were coming in from the right. He looked over and saw a turret with a dead marine laying on it. The Chief pulled off the corpse and manned the weapon. He looked down and saw six Jackals along with about twelve Grunts moving along the road below. He opened fire and watched as the .30 caliber bullets flew towards the enemy. The bullets flew off the Jackals' shields until the power of the bullets hitting forced them to move exposing them to the gun. Bullets tore through their bodies sending bits of flesh and black blood into the air. The Chief then targeted the Grunts and bullets went flying, hitting heads and one on unfortunate case, took away a grunts man hood. After he was satisfied he unmanned the turret and heard the two Longsword fighter coming in.

He looked up and saw the two fighters come in and drop their bombs. The artillery piece was building up another charge as the fighters passed it and the bombs hit. The gun was unable to send its charged plasma outward and blew from both ends to the center. Fire ran up and down the Covenant weapon until it fell and became a large piece of black rubble.

" Verify delivery of ordinance is on target. " Easley said.

" Dead on, Major - target is neutralized." Banks replied. The sergeant turned to the Master Chief and held his side handing over his submachine gun. " Take my weapon. You'll need it." The Chief took the weapon, slung his rifle, and took out the other M7C he grabbed while he was on the Pelican. With both guns in hand he headed down the ramp that was nearby and went onto the road. A few Jackals were waiting for him. He opened fire and bullets bounced off their shields. He aimed for the sides where their pistols could be used and fired.

The bullets made their mark and hit the hands of the Jackals. Those that were hit recoiled in pain and were torn apart by the Chief's dual SMGs. The Chief turned right from his position after dealing with the enemy and ducked inside a newly formed tunnel of debris. When he entered he was met by a squad of Grunts. He fired and fell back around the corner to allow his shields to recharge.

A marine ran up and tossed a grenade in yelling, " Frag and clear! Clear it out!" The explosion went off and the Chief ran in. He finished off the last two Grunts and their high pitched screams were heard over the snap like sound of his submachine guns. The Chief maneuvered through the tunnel until he exited looking down on five Jackals. He pulled out his assault rifle and zoomed in.

They noticed him and faced their shields toward him. He fired and they locked their shields together. Before the Chief had a chance to kill any of them two Warthogs sped in and ran the Jackals down. They stopped in front of the Chief.

" I can use a gunner, sir!" one of the drivers said. The Chief looked back at the two marines that had followed him up to this point.

" Go ahead, sir -we've got your back." one of the ODSTs said.

The Chief jumped into the Warthog that was without gunner and manned the M46 LATG. The LATG was a light anti-tank weapon recently developed specifically for the M12 LRV. The gun itself fires a version of the rockets used in standard anti-tank infantry weapons, but with a little less potency. The Chief racked in a shell and the semi-automatic weapon was ready to be used. The warthogs then left and were sent at top speed. They were quickly separated and the marines went for their targets.

They ran over a few fleeing Covenant and ran across a column of Creeps. The Creeps were originally seen at the first ground engagement after the Halo Campaign. They were a form of Covenant ground APC armed with a modified Shade turret. The Chief opened fire and took down one with a little over half-a dozen shots. The other behind it began firing and got two shots off before the Warthog had been out of range. He concentrated his fire up front taking out a squad of Grunts in two shots. They ran across two more Creeps and blew them to hell.

" Ghosts! Making a break for it! We got 'em!" the driver yelled. After he said this the marines began arguing amongst themselves over who should be driving and what not when a Phantom passed over head firing its belly turret laser.

Three long, thick streaks of red energy came out of the rotating turret. " Phantoms!" Cortana screamed into the Chief's head. He quickly adjusted to fire on the dropship. He got off three rounds before it turned around the corner and was unable to be hit. The Chief targeted the Ghosts and destroyed three in the chase. He passed by two more Creeps and destroyed them. Again another Phantom passed overhead and slowed down. Its bottom doors meant for carrying armor let down four creatures. Each were the size of Hunters, but more mobile and had a more muscular build. In addition they were covered in hair and up close they looked like an Elite-ape mix. " Brutes!" Cortana said. No more had she spoken two of the beasts leaped onto the Warthog in front of the Chief and onto his own. They tore out the passengers and tossed the soldiers as if they were toys. The Chief jumped down off of the gun and fired at the Brute on his warthog.

Bullets tore into the flesh, but the creature kept on coming. He finished his magazine in his assault rifle and rushed the creature hitting it in the chest with his rifle three times. The Brute dropped to the ground the Chief quickly reloaded as there were two more behind him and another in front. He fired three rounds into the downed Brute and began firing on the pair behind him. Modified plasma rifle fire came towards the Master Chief and made contact.

The direct approach wasn't working so he tried an indirect one instead. Nearby was a civilian vehicle that could be used as a grenade. The Brutes were next to the car when the Chief fired at the gas tank. The bullets ignited the gasoline and sent shrapnel into both of them killing the one nearest to the vehicle. He quickly fired on the survivor with his rifle and it too falls under a hail storm of bullets. He then turned to deal with the Brute behind him when Cortana spoke up again.

" Ghosts - to your right!" The Chief pulled out his SMGs and fired nearly the last of the ammo in the weapons as the first Ghost sped past him and through the bullets. He targeted the next one and finished off the ammo in the gun in his right hand. The Covenant LRV sped right for him as he jumped up on top of the vehicle. The driver was confused when the Master Chief landed on the Ghost. Before the pilot had a chance to shake the Spartan off, the Chief delivered a drop-kick sending the Brute out onto the ground as the Chief commandeered the vehicle. " The marines won't stand a chance, if those Phantoms double back! See if you can draw them off. "

The Chief did just that. He fired the Ghost's forward plasma cannons at the two Phantoms above him. The blue lances of fire hit and boiled away at the armored plating of the dropships. Three more Ghosts were deployed by the Phantoms and began to pursue the Chief. He finished grabbing their attention and took a road to his right leading to the highway.

As he went on ahead the Covenant was in hot pursuit firing their plasma weapons. The lead dropship fired ahead and above the Chief at a billboard in the attempt to have it fall on the Master Chief. After the Chief had past the billboard, before it fell, the pilot of that dropship tried to fly underneath of the falling sign and was hit on its starboard side. The craft flew sideways and went into a slow downward spin. The ship hit the road on its top and its power core went off destroying it. However the remaining force continued after the Chief.

Up ahead there was the main access door to the main highway. Normally open the door began to close. Cortana began to question the Chief's moves when he told her to hang on. The doors were nearly shut when he jumped off leaving an exploding Ghost behind him. He slid for twenty meters draining his shields all along the way.

The Ghost pilot behind him did not see the shut door until the last moment. At which point the LRV and the pilot went up in flames. The Master Chief stood up as the Ghost exploded and looked upward to see the orange sky and the Covenant cruiser he was after.

" Bingo, " Cortana said, " There's the cruiser. Now all we need to do is..." She trailed off as the Chief saw several blue-green streaks fall from the sky. They parted the clouds displaying the darkness that was to soon come over the city. His stomach fell with the thought of being glassed and of the thought that the fleet had been defeated. He looked closer and saw that the streaks were too small to be the plasma weapons that are used for glassing an area. Suddenly he heard a screech similar to a Banshee as seven of those streaks were landing nearby.

They were actually ten foot tall, green, chitonous pods. The Chief readied his SMGs and aimed at the nearest pod watching it open. A brilliant white light from within the pod created an eight foot tall shadow and out stepped a veteran class black armored Elite. Each of the pods were armed with the spilt chinned bastards. The Chief scanned his targets and watched as they each powered up an energy blade. The closest Elite shook its head growling. The Chief tossed his empty M7C behind him and drew a plasma grenade.

" Betcha can't stick it." Cortana dared the Chief. He accepted her challenge and tossed the grenade. He hit the first Elite, but it hit his helmet and quickly tossed it to another elite.He blew up sending bits of meat flying everywhere." Looks like a game of hot potato," the MC said.

He backed up while firing his M7C until it went click.His back was against one of the pods as two elites came roaring at him.He waited until there were three feet away.He ducked and their swords cut through the pod.One of the elites accidentally cut the others chest.The MC punched this one in the chest where the heart should be.The elite went down screaming in pain.

The other elite along with two others came at him.He took out his assualt riffle and ran at him.The first one swung at him and he ducked.He turned around and hit him three times in the back and he went down with a clack.The second one came and the MC slide under him and as he looked up, he hit the elite right in the nuts sending him down while holding them.This was the one that had no helmet so he shot him in his head.The third one was charging faster and faster and the Chief had no more ammo in his gun.The MC knew that the Elite will probably jump before it would hit him.As the elite jumped the MC went under him, and hit the Elite's feet sending him flying over the bridge.All he could hear was a SPLAT.


After confirming the Elites were dead the Chief stored away five new plasma grenades. He reloaded his weapons. The Chief then looked at the Elite that was killed by the plasma grenade.

" I won the bet. " he said. Cortana gave a short laugh and redirected him. They had to go through downtown to get to the Covenant Cruiser above the city. The streets there were crawling with Covenant activity and he'd have to kill all of them to complete his mission.
