Guts and Blood Part I:
Date: 25 September 2004, 1:44 AM
PART ONE
Private John H. Whillinger stared as the Covenant began to fire at the Human planet Rage 3. He was aboard a cruiser, the Tokyo, as it escaped the furios onslaught that had just occured. The Covenant had sent a huge fleet to attack the Rage system, and over a third of their ships were burning hulls in space. The UNSC had lost nearly 400 ships and all the orital super MAC guns in the battle. The Covenant had glassed every planet except one, Rage 7. That was where the new spartans were. Whillinger was terrified.
"Holy s**t!" yelled Max as a Fuel Rod Gun blast struck a tree behind him. He, Amy, Sam, Melissa, and Jack were fighting for their lives on Rage 7. The Covenant were desperate, it seemed, to capture the planet. "Goddamnit!!"
Sam screamed as plasma blasts raced past them. A huge number of Elites, Brutes, And Grunts were attacking the fusion reactor complex on the planet. The Grunts and Jackals were storming them, but they were paying a tremendous price for their troubles. The Spartans were inside the defense bunker complex surroundin the reactor. They were cutting up Grunt ranks with heavy fire from all manner of guns. There was a bluish haze in the air. During a lull in the action, a Pelican touched down behind the bunker. From it jumped squad 7, comprising of Henry, Mike, Noah, Joe, and Alex. They quickly moved in front of the bunker, and stared at the huge mass of Covenant soldiers. "Wow...there must be at least 4000 Covies there." And indeed there were. They were running at the Spartans as fast as they could. The Spartans, in turn, charged. The distance between the Covenant horde and the spartans shrank to 100 yards...50...25...10...5...4..3..2..1..
Part two
The two forces collided. The Spartans fought like gods. Henry yelled, "GO GO GO!!" The Spartans began fought hand to hand and with their guns. Jackals fell, as did Elites and Grunts. Alex gave a cry and fell. His MJOLNIR armor had a hole burned in it and his skin was burnt off. The Brute's yell of triumph turned into a cry of pain as Henry filled up the Brute with lead. The Spartans fought untill they had used every last one of their bullets, until they could hardly stand up, and finally, the Covenant broke up and ran away. They had saved the fusion reactor.
************************************************************
Whillingers awoke from cryo sleep with a start. "We've arrived in the Destiny system, Private," said a tech. "Alright," said Whillingers. They slowly orbited the planet, and an object came into view. It was a massive ring. "What the hell is that?" asked Sargeant Daniel Foster.
"I dunno. It looks like that Halo thing.", replied Captain Arthur Keyes, the son of Jacob Keyes. It was another Halo ring. "Analyzing..." said jutan, the shipboard AI. "Based on Cortana's information on the previous HAlo ring, i can confirm that this is another of the Halo rings, Halo 05, to be exact. "Captain?" set a course for that ring. land on it, and if we find any Covenant sons of b'''''s then we'll send 'em to hell. Am I right, Sarge! "Sir yes sir!!" replied the Sargeant. "Alright then... Saddle UP!" "impact in 30 minutes, Captain." Litle did the people aboard the Tokyo know that the Forerunner had analyzed the ship. They knew every crew member's name. They knew everything. THey were letting the ship through.
************************************************************
Alex was dead. He had died of the plasma burn a few hours ago. Henry was cleaning out his weapons, as were the other Spartans. They all knew that the Covenant would counterattack. THen a transmission came over the helmet com. Judging by how the Spartans stiffened, they were hearing it too. " The cruiser Tokyo has found a second Halo ring. We are near Destiny and have set a course to land on the ring. " Requesting any UNSC reinforcements in the area to join us." "We can go. Get in the pelican. Destiny is only about 30,000,000 miles from here. " said Henry. The Spartans did. A few minutes later, they had reached destiny. THey saw the Tokyo very close to the ring, and they accelerated towards it.
Part Three
ON the cruiser Tokyo there were marines and Helljumpers getting ready for heavy lland combat. THey had sighted three Covenant warships hovering near the Halo ring. THe cruiser slowed down, then the details on the ring quickly became larger and larger. THen a sickening thud was heard. "TOUCHDOWN! yelled a marine. "Yeehaw!!" Teams of Marines in Warthogs and Scorpions quickly moved out from the cruiser. The Covenant were no where to be found. The teams were getting quite far from the cruiser when they found the Covenant. There were a hundred Phantom dropships at the site, and hunreds of Covies. Ghosts were approachin the Marine positions. "Don't fire until they are within 50 yards of your positions. Star firing the larger guns first then the smaller ones." The ghosts moved foward until the guns opened fire. The Covenant were accelerating into a maelstrom of death. The GHosts exploded, causing Elites to be burnt to crisps, or ripped apert or vaporized. THe remainig ghosts turned and fled. SUdennly a single dropship touched down. And the marines found themselves face to face with 9 Spartans.

Blood and Guts Part II: Massacre
Date: 28 September 2004, 12:45 AM
The Marines looked at the Spartans and the Spartans looked back. Finally Mike broke the ice. "Which of you is the ranking officer?" "Sir!" replied private joshua Williams. "That would be you, sir!!" "Crap." well, whats the situation?" "Sir, we were just returning to the Tokyo, sir. We broke up and repelled a Covenant attack, but I believe they will counterattack with full force, sir." "OK, soldier. Move out. Henry! Get over here!" Henry walked over to Mike's position. "Yeah?" "We're gonna be scouting the area. C'mon." They walked up the ridge. When they got to the top, they stared. Brutes and Elites were directing large numbers of Covenant troppers up the slope near the landing site. "HIT THE DIRT!!" Hernry wispered urgently. They both went down. "Use you're Sniper rifle to hit 'em at long range on my mark.... MARK!!" They both fired their S2s. A Brute's head exploded. An Elite went down from a shot to the left chest. They reloaded and fired again. 2 more aliens fell. The Covenant regrouped and charged. Henry gave a hand signal and the other Spartans joined them. They unslung their assault rifles in unison. "Fire!" yelled Henry and Mike. They all fired and aliens went down in droves. Blue annd purple blood fell in torrents and began to make the field slippery. Henry heard an explosion behind him. He heard a grunt of pain. Noah blacked out. When he came to, The Spartans were standing over him in a rough circle. The first thing he felt was the pain. It ripped through both his shoulders. He looked at his shoulders. MJOLNIR armor was burnt away and the skin on his shoulders was gone. There was white bone underneath, he could see it. His arms hurt terribly. Henry was saying, "...My god. I thought he was dead...." "Can you move? Are you OK?" MIke asked. "I think.... What'd they get me with?" "It was two Brutes. We killed them both, though," said Melissa. "Well, we'd better-" she was cut short by an explosion. There was a flash of light and she dissapeared. Her and everyone except Mike, Henry, Noah, and Matt. "Oh my..." "HIT THE DIRT AND FALL BACK!" Henry and Mike screamed over the furious bombardment now taking place. The Spartans ran until they were out of the plasma's trajectory and still they ran, until they got to the Tokyo. That night there was a blue glow in the air and one could hear hundreds of marching feet as the Covenant invaded the ring world. Every Marine was killed and the Tokyo destroyed except for three Pelicans which were blasting off from the Ring. The Spartans, Captain A. Keyes, and 20 marines were in them. They blasted off towards the UNSC fleet that had answered the Tokyo's call. When they landed on the flagship's docking bay, THe Admiral in charge said, "Let's just blow the thing up!" "But Henry replied, "NO!" if we destroy the ring then countless pieces of data will be gone. If we studied the ring, we could learn more about the Covenant and the Forerunner. Give my team 72 hours to get some info, then you can blow the crap outta that thing." "Alright. But ONLY 72 hours. We can't spare any more time than that." "Very well. Team! Prepare to move out!!" "SIR!" the three of them yelled. They boarded the Pelican and blasted towards Halo 05.
Deep within the perimeters of the Covenant Empire on The cruiser Vengeance a Brute went through numerous security checks and finally stepped into a large darkened room. The Brute's name was Aizdaumus. He knelt."Exellency...It has happened.... The Spartans have gone to Halo....... Give me an army and i will spill their blood like rain. I will bring you their heads-" "Enough," said the High Prophet Barzna. "The infidels have fallen for my trap. soon they will all be dead.... I give you not one army but four....Bring me their heads as you have promised and you shall be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. Fail...Fail and I shall have your head. I have spoken. do not dissapoint me.
Later Aizdaumas stood on the bridge of the Pillar. He stared at the viewscreen as his armies marched past the camera view panels and into the belly of the ship. He was ready and his armies were too. Soon.... soon he would prove himself by killing the Spartans and delivering their heads to the Supreme Prophets. Soon he would be avenged. His father the Brute Aldaimuas had been killed by the Spartans in 2553. He smiled to himself. Yes...soon he would have is revenge.
