Chapter One

The Master Chief's heavy armored boots hit the metal-tiled floor hard. Sparks flew out from under his one ton body as the Master Chief slid down the slanted floor a few more feet.
"Spartan one-one seven over," The Master Chief spoke through the mike built into his MJOLNIR armor helmet.
"You mind telling me what your doing on that ship?" The Admiral asked the Chief in a worried tone.
"Sir….. finishing this fight," The Master Chief said through the mike and then turned the mike off so that covenant couldn't trace the signal.
The Master Chief then looked around the ship he was on called "The Ark." The ceilings towered over fifty feet above the Chief's head. The metal tile floor was slanted up towards one gigantic door that was about twenty feet in height. This room must have been a quarter of the size of the Pillar of Autumn. It was massive.
The Master Chief had to get to Prophet of Truth before he landed this giant ship on Earth. If Truth landed this ship he could activate all the halos destroying all life in the universe. All the Prophet wants to do is fulfill his so-called "Great Journey."
That's when the Chief decided he needed to go as fast as he could. He then got up and ran as fast as he could with all his weight towards the giant door. Then, suddenly, a pair of unaware Jackals appeared as the giant door started to slide open. That's when the Master Chief dove to the hard floor and slid a few feet. The sound of the Chief sliding made a loud screeching noise that made the Jackals wince in agony and alerted them to the Chief's presence.
The two Jackals looked right at the Chief after they were done holding there strange ears from the loud screeching that even made the Master Chief wince. They readied their plasma pistols and charged them to full power. The Chief got up and ran to the right in attempt to dodge their charged plasma blasts that would probably kill the Chief. The first blast would burn out his energy shield that the MJOLNIR armor provided and the second blast would hit him and blow a hole through his armor leaving the Master Chief incapable of fighting them anymore.
Master Chief's thoughts were then interrupted when the two Jackals fired the plasma blasts. The sound that they made was actually very strange; it was like a sucking noise followed by a loud bang.
The Master Chief didn't have time to think this out so he had to do it the hard way. The Chief pulled out a plasma grenade that he picked up from an elite earlier, and pushed the button that activated the grenade. The Master Chief had to do this just right or he would be done for.
The grenade had a five second timer on it and the green plasma blasts were getting closer and closer to the Chief's position. The Chief waited until the timer on the grenade was down to two seconds and then threw it on a collision course with the two plasma grenades. The Master Chief then ran as fast as he could away from the area where the grenade would explode. He then dove to the ground creating more sparks in the as he slid and then turned around and looked at where the grenade was going to explode.
A seven foot tall explosion suddenly appeared from the plasma grenade right as the two green blasts were passing over the grenade. The light bluish explosion blew the two liquid blasts apart making the Master Chief's plan successful. The Chief knew that the grenade might negate the plasma blasts since the plasma grenade's explosion was more powerful than the two plasma blasts.
Master Chief now had to take care of those two Jackals. So the Chief pulled out his two submachine guns and turned off the safety. He then ran straight at the Jackals and they started to fire the regular blasts. About two of the shots hit the Chiefs energy shield and brought the bar on his HUD or heads up display down by about half. The Chief then dove to the left and started to fire his SMGs as soon as he got in range.
Purple blood sprayed everywhere as bullets pierced the Jackal's armor and sent the alien flying backwards screaming in pain. Then the Chief pulled out a frag grenade, pulled the activator off, and then chucked it straight towards the Jackal. About three seconds later the grenade blew the Jackal to pieces creating a pile of alien body parts and blood. It looked like a bunch of morbid sticks piled up to create a giant bonfire.
Now that Master Chief cleared the way to the door, he could enter the next room. So the Master Chief got up and slowly walked towards the giant door. When he got to the door he slammed his back against the titanium door and pulled out his wire camera used for stealthy attacks and stuck it around the corner. What footage came up on his HUD was unbelievable…… nothing.
There was nothing around the corner, no guards, no nothing. So the Master Chief then quickly turned around the corner and pulled out both of his SMGs. He slowly walked forward as he looked through the doorway that was open up ahead. It seemed as if it led to another semi-big room.
When the Chief got to the doorway a giant, hairy gorilla-like alien punched the chief's weapons out of his hands and then punched him in the face knocking his energy shield down three quarters. It was a Brute.
