This is kind of based on the upcoming Halo 3: Recon. It is not intended to be connected with it, this is just a fiction. If you like it please comment.

The sounds of gunshots and explosions fill the streets as Marines fight back the Covenant forces. Buildings are wrecked and vehicles destroyed laying scattered about, giving cover in fights. Overhead U.N.S.C. pods begin to drop into the city. As they drop a Covenant Captial ship makes a jump...inside the city. Many pods near the city are destroyed or pushed off course. One in this jump is pushed off course but falls deeper in the city.
The ODST(Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) inside the pod waited awhile. Knowing the systems needed time to reboot, and it probally wasn't safe outside anyway, he waited and breifly checked himself. He didn't get hurt from the drop but his rifle was torn from it's postion. It laid at his feet, he would have to check it when he got out.
It was around 8:54pm. when he left the pod. He went inside a building near by and hide in the darkness. He turned his light on and checked his rifle. It was a standard issue MA5B Assualt rifle but had a silencer attacthment and sling around it. It was in mint condition, nothing out of place. He had large pouchs carrying extra ammunation. He checked them to see if he had them all, and found he was missing five rounds. He slung the Assualt rifle onto his back and searched for his clips. He found four but couldn't find the fifth.
He looked around then wound up in the street. There he found it next to his pod, and heard the sound of marching foot steps. He looked and saw a squad of brutes equiped with night vision goggles. Knowing they must be looking for him he swiftly flung himself inside the building. The brutes seemed minorly stunned. His light was off and he was motionless. The brutes popped inside the building, the ODST was ontop a pile of rumble near the roof.
All left but one, it looked and smelled around. The ODST watched and decided to move. The brute noticed a slight sound and turned toward the ODST. He was against a wall, listening. As soon as he heard the brute right next to him he jumped out and turned his light on. The brute, with his night vision still on, was blinded and let out a yell. It was only for a second though for the ODST rammed his fist into the brute's jaw.
Blood lecked down and the brute squirmed. He was flailing all over the place and the ODST landed a powerful fist blow into the brute's rib cage. The brute's bones broke, shattered and stabbed his heart. The brute fell, silent and dead.
The ODST dragged the body into a corner, making sure it wasn't in sight. The ODST walked to his pod and took some vital communacation equipment. With it he made a base in the building he was hiding in, there he set up his own headquaters. It was behind a wall of rubble that was impossible to see through and no light could get through. It was also around several corners that made a W like shape. After awhile there he relized that he needed food. He remembered that the pod had some food storage, he went to go collect it.
After clearing the corners he came to see five brutes staring at the body of the brute the ODST killed. The ODST slide his rifle into his hands and leveled it with the brute in the middle of the group. He released 26 bullets from his 32 bullet clip and killed the brute. The last 6 he shot at the foot of a brute shooting randomly. The brute reached for his foot but kept shooting and unloaded on another brute. The brute, reliezing what he did was stunned. All the while the other brutes ran and the ODST slip clips in and out of his rifle as he gunned them down. The ODST had several empty clips on the floor, as four brute bodies.
The stunned brute looked around him, then down at the ODST right in front of him. The brute was frighten, never before had he seen such a powerful human. The ODST took his helmet off and tossed it aside casually. The ODST's hair was a dark brown, his eyes were emerald green, and a rough beard around his face. He starred at the brute striaght into the brute's red eyes and said "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, launch number 43, rank First Private, name Shawn..." He reached behind the terrified brute and grabbed a rock then continued talking saying "the last damn person you'll ever know" and with that he crushed the brute's skull with the rock.
After that he retrived his food and sent a special U.N.S.C. ODST beacon from his small base. With that he took his helmet, put it on, and fell asleep.
