      We were in a Pelican, somewhere on Earth, sometime, but no one knows, not one.
It had been a while since the Covenant came to Earth, tore the place up, but that was not the worst.
Rebel armys that had been once allied with each other and the real armies to defeat the Covenant invadors, had broken off their alliances, and were in the midst of battle with each other, but for what? They were in war for the earth, well, what was left of it anyway, but this cause was not worth the deaths. Many deaths.
      We were in a Pelican, flying over the deserted war land called Earth, we were headed for the evac point, like every last soldier on Earth. My name is Ace Alexander, Pvt. Alexander, on a Pelican with the last surviving marines of SU force in this area, now claimed to be the most dangerous place on Earth. What gave it this name? Five of the ten Rebel Armies are in war here, all fighting each other at the same time, that is why this area (a very large section of Earth) is the most dangerous. The SU in our force stands for suicidal, and I'm sure less of us would be here if we knew that before.
      On one side of the Pelican was me, some soldier(we were a mixed squad, but three soldiers and me are in the same squad) and Sgt.Ranker, the other side had three other guys in my squad. Six guys plus two pilots, survivors of this turmoil, out of thousands, millions even, survived. This war is pointless, but if it is what they want, then the UNSC want's no part of this madness.
      The guys of my squad were old friends of mine, there was Pvt. James Winston, an edgy guy, always shooting at everything that moves, Cprl.Ryan Brooke, a real tough guy but sensitive, and Pvt.Joe (no one knows his last name.) About Joe, well theres nothing about Joe, he's just one of those 'faceless soldiers,' you know, following orders, not messing around, nothing special. Well we were on a Pelican, it had been a few hours when we left the main warzone, the launch zone was not to far away.
      Things had been quiet since we had got on the Pelican, two guy's were killed before getting on the Pelican. Joe was looking down on the flaming earth, watching random rebels run towards the warzone, I started to pretend to aim my gun and shoot them, James laughed a bit then continued to be quiet. The two pilots were chatting between themselves and the Sarge was taking a nap. Ryan was fiddling around with his fingers when we said something to me, I didn't hear exactly what he said and I replied with a "huh?"
      "I said what the hell was that back there?" he said.
      "what was what?" I asked
      "That whole damn thing!" Ryan shouted in response, waking up the Sarge.
      "Marine, what the hell was that for?" shouted the Sarge.
      It went on like this until Ryan finally said it was the hell-hole people were calling a war.
      we finally made it to the launch zone, the speakers were very loud with announcments of large groups of rebels heading toward the area and we didn't have much time to leave. I and the other soldiers in my Pelican were lighned up infront of a ship. Other marines were lined up infront of other ships about to enter, I looked at a group of marines about to go in another ship and saw a female with them. We had been briefed before the lining about everyone on everyship in the fleet, the girl's name was Karina, her last name was unknown.
      it was time to enter the ships, and we did. The ships started up and and we entered space through the atmosphere.
      Meanwhile, somewhere in space....
      "hmm, not very good, not very good indeed!" said a glowing ball, floating after an extremely damaged excape pod. Also back on the Spartan Installation on the planet the survivors call 'Neherato IV' which that had learned was a gas planet and they were on a 'continent' like land. Scans had revealed that there are two of this 'continents' both of them, however, are unexplored and nobody knows what is lurking around them. Humans? or something hostile?

      End of Pt3 Pt1.
