Halo: The Remnant War by Noodle Boy

Halo: The Remnant Era Promo
Date: 22 October 2004, 12:04 AM
This is me Noodle Boy(not real name of course) this is my first story. This is actually a, by me, story that isn't supposed to be out yet until a few more came out. This is my first story so give me a break.
The Invasion on Earth Part 1: by Guy Duran. Based on the award winning game Halo!
Prelude
The year is 4552. Earth still exists, and space travel was achieved more than, about, 2000 years ago. But because of overpopulation the former residents were forced to colonize other planets. Through the United Nations Space Command, the government unified. The UNSC controls the government and military power. Yet, one thing eludes planet Earth and her children. What of the stories of Halo? Halo... is one of the most common words now. 2000 years ago a powerful collection of races, called the Covenant, united to wipe out Mankind. Master Chief was a savior, not a hero. He helped the Military beat the Covenant. Master Chief was enlisted, and a hundred others, as a child, age six, to be in a special project called The Spartan Project. He was the best. So, since Earth still exists it is likely to say Master Chief and Earth won. However people question Halo, the Covenant, and the savior Master Chief. Was it true? No records were ever kept, or maybe they were but were destroyed. The only thing left was the short stories. Some people say it was true. Planets described in the story were lost and the coordinates were dead on the Planets too. Some say it was fake, made by the UNSC. Why else did the weapons, vehicles and space ships fit VERY closely to the stories? The story, however, was soon forgotten. A new alien race appeared... The Remnants. Claiming that the galaxy was once theirs. They have viciously attacked planets by infantry, and what helped Remnants the most was their advancement in the science of plasma. Remnant ships used plasma mortars that can destroy an entire UNSC ship if not careful. All of The Remnants infantry and vehicles used plasma. But, Earth was prepared. With superior defense and Space Ships Earth and other Planets can defend itself. Guessing that the Halo story was true, they collected children, age six, to be enlisted in the Unreal Project. Supposedly better than the original Spartans, Unreal soldiers proved very effective against The Remnants. With personal shielding, strong armor, fast reflexes/reaction time, and great accuracy. Unreal Soldiers are HIGHLY recommended in any front-line defenses or offense. Unreal armors carried a personal shield, HUD (heads-up display), and small jets for gliding in space; Unreal soldiers are the masters of any weaponry and vehicles. Too bad there are only thousands, when The Remnants have billions of soldiers ready too die in order to reclaim what they thought they lost. Two planets supply Mankind's infantry and Ships, Earth and Terra. Earth supplies both Main Infantry and minor ships. Terra on the other hand supplies both Unreal soldiers and the most powerful ships. If any of these planets were to fall Mankind would be doomed. Fortunately, every Planet knows that and every planet tries to protect Earth and Terra. Even luckier for Mankind is the appearance of T-rex Ancient and Shadow and Shadou Luna. They and T-rex's squad, The HellBringers, are the best of the best. They try to protect anyone they can, and with the help of Bahamut, T-rex's AI, it might just be possible. Bahamut is an AI; made to hack into Remnant computers and translate them. He is the best AI out there. He is "part" of T-rex through an artificial layer that, kind of, merge the AI's mind and T-rex's. These are the stories of T-rex Ancient, and The HellBringers.
Part One: An Unknown Arrival
Admiral Nylund didn't like being on defensive watch. Nothing really happened to Earth once a Remnant's assault ship attacked and was destroyed immediately by Earth's Orbital Defense Ring. The Ring completely circled Earth. Its main power was from the sun. It's main weapon, however, was very unique.
The Ring had ten Super MAC guns, Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, and fifty MAC guns. A Super MAC gun was powerful enough to penetrate a Remnant's Assault ship's shield and damage the ship itself. While a regular MAC gun blast was enough to destroy the shield, a second was enough to damage it. In the spaces that didn't have MAC guns, Archer missile pods were put. On the back of the Ring was its hanger.
Admiral Nylund was disappointed that the Ring proved effective, he was one of the ones who created the designs for the weapons, vehicles and, well, every other defensive thing out there. Most importantly, though, was that he liked creating new designs and ideas, but once the Ring proved effective, the other Admirals said no more add-ons. In fact it was the designs and ideas that got him a spot in the Admiral council. He also despised his designs, sometimes. Suddenly, someone yelled, "Incoming Remnant Assault Cruiser... looks like a heavy class and badly damaged."
The Admiral was a little happy. He just didn't like the sound of the heavy class. Heavy class of any Remnant ship would mean that the ship was a heavily armored, pretty fast, and had very powerful plasma weaponry. Although he was curious that it was damaged. He said, "Charge one Super MAC gun, and charge all the other MAC guns closest to the Remnant ship. I want that bastard destroyed before it reaches twenty kilometers of this Ring."
The gun crewman said aye aye, and prepared the weapons firing system. One said, "Sir, would you like the honors of firing the cannons and maybe blasting a Ship for the very first time?" Some crewman snickered a little.
"That's okay and very funny," every one could tell that was sarcastic.
The guns fired. The Super MAC gun hit first, the ship's shields flickered, but nothing happened. The other MAC guns hit soon after. The shields flickered. Again, nothing went through. It still was on a collision course. Most of the crewman had their jaws wide open. Some weren't paying attention. The crewman that fired the cannon dropped his soda. "I-I don't get it," He stuttered, " Those coordinates were dead on I know it."
The Admiral was scared now. Did the Remnants create stronger shields? No, he thought not without giving up more space for the plasma generators. "That's it shot that damn thing out of the sky." he said, "Fire all Archer pods and charge the MAC guns closet to that ship. Make sure it doesn't get too close."
Everyone obliged. The shields flickered, and finally blew out. Two Super MAC guns hit. The Assault Cruiser's wing blew away and one side was blown away. It still did not stop.
The Admiral was really ticked now. Why doesn't it fire its weapons? That didn't matter now. The ship's collision course was what mattered and - a crewman interrupted his thought, "Um, sir you should look at this."
The Admiral looked. The Assault Cruiser was detaching life pods. "Don't wasn't your time on those little bastards," he said, "That Assault Cruiser is our main problem. Let infantry take care of the pods."
The crewman replied, "Aye sir, and uh sorry for the remark."
"It's ok, I understand."
More shots were fired, yet the cruiser still did not stop. After twenty minutes of continues fire, the Cruiser passed the Ring. "Crap," yelled the gun control crewman, "It's out of range"
The Admiral replied, " Where is it going to land?"
The Coordinates crewman said, "It's going to land at... Tower City. And uh Admiral?"
"Yes?"
"The... life pods seem to be following the Cruiser."
Nylund thought, shit.
Part Two: Tower City
Tower City... a name giving for it's four large towers. Tower City is the first City to have the experimental Plasma Tower, thus the name Tower City. The tower is as tall as the Eiffel Tower and uses a stolen Remnant plasma reactor. The Plasma Tower had three other towers around. These secondary towers were half the size of the middle. The secondary tower's helped power the Primary Tower. It is still experimental, however. It was designed to target any Remnants in the city and fire a very sleek plasma string at the enemy. Unfortunately, when the Cruiser came down the Tower wasn't operational... and still isn't operational, due common power failures and incorrect targets. This gave the Remnants, came from the life pods and survived, ample time to set up three bases around the city before the Marines arrived.
Part Three: The Capture of Tower City
Zama was a Hunter. His brethren were masters at close combat and at swords. They have a good sense of hearing, were very quick and athletic. His people wore an isosceles-like triangle boots and helmet. Their backhands also had isosceles-like triangle armor and under their armor were sharp claws. The chest armor was like the armor knights wore in the old ages. Their arms, legs and neck were skinny, which made them very agile. The gray armored brethren were regular Hunters. The black armored Hunters were commandos and usually have the honor of using swords. He DID have other brethren, the Impurities, Humans, called them Infantry Hunters.
The Infantry Hunters looked exactly like the Hunters. The only difference was that they wore different armor. The armor covered the arms and legs. They carried a Plasma Carbine as a main weapon. This Carbine had a long barrel and when properly gripped an armor-plated shield covers the arm to the elbow. The Infantry brethren also carried a Plasma Rifle. The Rifle needed only one hand to carry. It had an opening at the front of it, so the plasma can shot through. A blue electrical current was in the opening, to charge the plasma. Their class was the same. Grey is standard infantry. Black is Commandos.
Zama heard footsteps, "Quick hide," he whispered, "The Impurities are coming!"
Everyone of his units hide the Hunters climbed on the walls because of their claws and pointed boots and the Infantry Hunters hid behind the walls. Zama heard a Impurity say, " oh well know one is here guess they all died in the crash." The Impurity kicked a scrape of the pod.
Zama made a hand signal. Hunters strike first, Infantry strike second. The plan almost worked if a Hunter didn't slip. Zama's brethren fell into the dumpster. "Contact!" the Impurity yelled while shooting at the dumpster, "Contact in the dumpster and probably on the walls too!" he stared shooting at the walls.
Zama's group jumped from the walls onto the Impurities, slashing at their chests. The Infantry Hunters came in and mopped up the remaining Impurities. Although three brothers were lost, the battle ended before it even started.
One of Zama's brothers, Zamia, said, "That was a close one!"
"Yes," Zama replied. "Although I would've preferred the battle to last a little longer." He wiped the blood of his sword.
"True. Some did wish the battle lasted longer."
"Take the equipment out we are moving."
"Why? It isn't safe here?"
"Of course, we are in Impurity territory, we should keep moving."
"But, we eliminated their scouts."
"True, but they will send more."
"Yes, your greatness."

Halo: The Remnant Wars (Chapter One: The Beginning)
Date: 8 November 2004, 12:52 AM
Here is the real first story the other=promo! So here it is. ENJOY!!
Halo: The Remnant Wars
Chapter I: The Beginning
The planet called Georgia, a planet named after the state that colonized it, was one of the first to be brutally attacked by The Remnants. This is how The Remnant War started... this is The Beginning.
0900 hours, May 1st, 5552 (Military Calendar) Inside space station, over Georgia
General Mark Henning was in command of the space station in Georgia's atmosphere. It stayed in the same spot, not revolving around the planet, only rotating. About an hour ago a probe sent, along with seven others, to scout out the area turned missing. They checked six times but can't find its signal. He got bored and started reading one of the old Halo legends, the one about Master Chief and how he captured the Control Room on the, legendary, Halo all by himself, when he asked, "Ken, anything new yet?"
"Not yet sir," Ken replied.
"Strange..." He was thinking about the missing probe. "The probe should have arrived with the others an hour ago and even if it was lost it is equipped with a Plasma battery. We should have seen it by now!"
"I know sir, but the radars don't lie. The probe just... vanished."
"Hmm," He scratched his beard. "Send another-"
He didn't finish he sentence a Tech-man came up to him. "Sir you better look at this!"
Henning saw the image. "What is it?"
"I don't know, but it looks like there are nine ships around a big one and it looks like it has the probe inside." The tech-man pointed to the small dot on the infrared image, signifying that there was a plasma battery in there.
The ships were not normal UNSC standards. They were a blackish blue. The big one had two wings curved under it, almost shaping a circle and a wing on the front facing "down". The smaller ships were the same color, and looked like a "p" sideways. "Hail the incoming ships," Mark ordered.
"Aye, Ayes," replied the communications tech-man.
Two minutes later he said, "Sir, either they are saying, "Go to Hell" or "We come in peace", either way I cannot understand their message."
"Let me see that," Mark replied, running up then looking at the screen.
It looked like gibberish, or Egyptian, hell he didn't care. "Hail them ag-,"
"Sir, one of the smaller ships just fired!"
"What?!" Mark yelled then he ran to the main screen. It was true a smaller ship did fire. It looked like a comet, dark blue, and smoldering. The comet, which looked like plasma, missed the station but instead hit the planet. "Tell "High Command" we need some ships! NOW!"
The communications tech-man later whispered, "I guess they did say "Go to Hell" after all."
Planet Georgia didn't have any ships. Not thinking that someone would attack, they only had Marines. And Marines couldn't fly.
0900.15, May 1st, 5552 (Military Calendar On Planet Georgia, about fifteen seconds before unknown ship fired.
"Mommy," a boy asked. "May we please get ice cream?"
His mother replied, "Sure and maybe we can go to the park."
The boy had an excited look on his face. He got strawberry-chocolate, his favorite. He and his mother soon arrived at the park where most of his friends were playing tag. "Go on son," the mother said. "Go play with your friends."
The boy nodded his head and ran towards his friends. His mother looked up at the sky. There were clear skies, clear enough to see the space station... and the ten ships. She saw a darkish blue, smoldering comet flying down. Strange, she thought. The 4th of July isn't 'till next weekend.
On the 4th of July Plasma ships would arrive and fire Plasma Mortars at chunks of metal in the sky. The result was that there would be a magnificent ball of lights. The boy's mother continued to look at the comet. It struck a tall building. The building exploded... slowly. The top half fell... slowly. The whole building was falling to slowly. She looked up again, and saw fifteen more comets crashing down.
1100, May 1st, 5552 (Military Calendar) Arriving at Planet Georgia.
Two hours passed before seven ships arrived. By that time, however, Georgia was completely burned. The leading ship, and the one in charge of the current reinforcements, was The Jaded Dragon. It was a human/plasma hybrid. The Jaded Dragon carried one MAC, six Plasma Mortars and fifty Archer Missile pods. They were enough to take down two UNSC ships. It looked like one of the Covenant carriers; the only difference was that it was gray. The other two were either Plasma or Human Ships. The remaining four were shield ships. Ships specially designed with a large circular shield, in order to protect their own allies. They were equipped with twenty Archer Pods, and could actually use their shields to ram the enemy. Julio Vargas was the Captain of The Jaded Dragon. "Shielders get into positions."
A tech-man looking at a holographic screen said, "Sir-"
Julio interrupted, "I don't want any complaints. Charge all the Plasma Mortars and the MAC."
"Aye Sir," said the Tech-man who, obviously, irritated.
The two other ships charged their weapons as well. After two minutes of waiting the let loose the barrage of plasma mortars and MACs. The strange and unknown ships turned, facing the seven ships. Two of the smaller "P" looking ships went sideways in front of the bigger one. The barrage hit the smaller ships, incinerating them both and only slightly damaged the bigger ship's shields. "Shit!" Vargas yelled. "They have shields too?!"
"Looks like it," someone replied.
It was the enemy's turn to return fire. Twenty smoldering, dark-blue, comet of, what looked like, Plasma came at them. The Shielders activated their shields. All twenty made contact with the four Shielders. Normally the holes in the shields would cover up in two seconds, but they were acting slower than usual. Vargas noticed that, but he didn't have enough time to ponder about it. The ten ships let lose another barrage. This time the barrage went through, two destroyed a Shielder; went right into it, another hit the Common Wealth. Out of both of the hits Vargas noticed that the explosions were slow, the Shielder exploded, only the explosions were slow, you could actually see it break up-the fire escaping through the cracks, the same thing with the Common Wealth-the shards breaking off slowly. Vargas realized that this was a battle their couldn't win. The barrage was almost every minute, and the ships were getting closer until, the blasts couldn't miss. "All ships move back and fire at will! Don't stop!" yelled Vargas, to the other Captains. It was a trade off of blows, the enemy lost six ships, only three were left, but they destroyed all of The Jaded Dragon's companions. The big ship "landed" on top of the Jaded Dragon, there was a loud "thunk" sound. "Sir, we are being boarded!" yelled a Tech-man.
The two other ships came next two the Jaded Dragon. The same Tech-man replied, "Sir two more are boarding!"
"Send a boarding party of our own, six teams, three Pelicans," yelled Vargas. Each team had five Marines, and each Pelican could carry ten.
"Aye sir!" said the Tech-man.
Vargas took a last look at the Georgia planet, it was burned- all black with red cracks around it. Explosions appeared on the planet out of sections that took a hit by the comets. It was too late to evacuate the ship. The surviving Marines and Personnel were crowded in the Bridge. "Before we go," Vargas said after unleashing a whole MA5B clip. "I'm gonna leave our intruders a little gift."
He went to a holographic control panel and typed in a few numbers. The AI next to him turned off the safeties. On the screen in front of him read a timer: 10:00. He took another last look at Georgia before he was tackled, then slashed in the stomach.
1140 hours, May 1st, 5552 (Military Calendar) Aboard unknown enemy ship
"This is Boarding Teams One and Two, I repeat: Boarding Teams One and Two, we lost contact with Boarding Team Three and..." Sergeant Thomas stopped and waited five seconds. "Is anyone their... hello...?"
Thomas's friend said, "Looks we are alone."
"Not to mention it is dark here," said another.
"Never thought you'd be afraid of the dark," someone replied.
They walked through a hallway, making about five turns until they entered a strange room. Of course it was dark like the hallways and the hanger, or at least they though it was a hanger. Suddenly lights turned on. Everyone went into a "circle" formation and looked up to see three levels, three stories, full of strange creatures. The two teams, confused out of their wildest dreams, unleashed clip after clip and battery after battery. The humans eventually figured out how to replace a dead Plasma battery from a Plasma weapon. Of course the creatures retaliated too. The ones on the first level jumped off and ran towards the teams. One came up slashed a Marine in the face before it got flown away from a shotgun blast. The creatures with, what Thomas thought was also Plasma weapons, continually put down the two teams. One of Thomas's friends, Johnny, was hit by one of the small dark-blue spheres, he screamed in pain, but screamed slowly like his body was slowing down, after a few minutes he screamed at normal speed. The Boarding Teams threw grenades, Plasma and HEs, but it couldn't help. The barrage of dark-blue sphere's kept coming. Thomas ran out of clips and switched to his Needler, he also found one on the ground near one of his comrades. He continually let loose a barrage of needles. The creatures that jumped down were literally covered in needles, but still continued to run at the surviving members of the two teams. Some of the creatures exploded taking down at least five of its brethren. The creatures on the first level still came at them and the ones on the second and third levels continued to fire at them. Soon bodies were crowded together, no room to move and no cover to hide in. The battle had ended. Thomas was picked up by one of the creatures. It looked at him and scratched his arm, very lightly to see if he would twitch. He did and it threw him in a cell, separate from the surviving teammates. Separated from his dead team- no his friends. He knew they wouldn't give them the respect his team deserved. He saw one of the creatures' stuff a body in an airlock. Thomas sat in the corner... crying, heart-broken, alone, and weak.
Fifteen units, Thirty sub-units, The Reclaiming Age Inside The Great Hall
A dark figure walked up the stage to see thousands of his valiant soldiers who have taken the Impurity ship, only to have it explode taking the two lesser ships. The smaller ships had somewhere around five hundred soldiers/workers inside, while the bigger ship had around ten thousand. A terrible loss, thought the dark figure as he continued to look at the eyes of his soldiers. The Hall was silent... very silent. He spoke, "Today we have purified a planet. Thanks to our soldiers," he waved his hands around each one of his soldiers, then continued, "We have completed, but only one of the tasks that our great "Creator" bestowed upon us. A task that those foolish Covenant couldn't even complete." It was, almost, forbidden to Covenant and the figure had a hard time saying it. "We have fought valiantly (A complete lie since his people didn't fight) and through our victory have we brought peace to this planet once his, that will soon have new life on it- new hopes of completing our perfect society, for now our perfect-our pure society are changing it to our Creator's likings- NO!" He said that with tremendous force. "To our Creator's Wishes!" It curled its claws into a fist and held them high. "We will not stop, we will not disappoint our Creator, we will take what he had-away from the dreadful Impurities, from those dreadful "non-pure" animals and to do that we will not only purify the galaxy, but we will purify the whole universe! We will not stop until ever spot; every asteroid is cleaned of the barbaric Impurity stench!" Thousands of hands went into the air, then back down, then up again. It continued into a cycle 'till there was a load cheer. The figure waved his hand for silence and continued, "There are those who have said that this day would never come...What are they to say now?" (Editor's note: sorry that I copied of the Halo 2 Trailer, it's just that it is a really good line!)
There was a massive cheer so loud that the Impurity prisoners could hear it. The figure walked away from the stage, and to his servant, an Elite. Once part of the proud Covenant Army, is now a lowly servant for the figure that he hated most. "Feed the Impurities," he said. "Feed them well... for tomorrow they will be interrogated. Oh... and make sure that they don't kill themselves," He gave a vicious look at the, once proud, Elite and their eyes meet. He continued, "If any of them die I will have your head!" He stopped and said in, once again, a calm voice, "And if any of them prove to be useful, spare them, the ones that aren't throw them into the generators. It needs the "fuel". Oh... I almost forgot; and I need you to send a message to the High Council for more reinforcements, preferably the more powerful ships."
The Elite replied, "Yes, your Excellency. It will be done." The figure left, and the Elite went to his sleeping quarters, which was basically a bed and a small computer.
"My masters didn't choose me just because of my acting, they choose me because of my hacking abilities," He went to his small computer and inserted the disk that his mastesr, the Prophets, or "Great Ones" gave him.
In a matter of minutes he had all the information the "Great Ones" needed. He found the blueprints to the special AM (short for Anti-matter, the reason why everything went slow when hit by the dark-blue sphere/comets) and the weak points of every ship in this so-called Armada. "Soon," He said. "Soon the Great Ones will have their information, and soon we will claim what we want... the annihilation of the humans," The Elite gave a quiet laugh. "Soon," He continued, with a smirk on his face, "Soon the plan will be complete, and the glory of the almighty Covenant will be restored!"
Six units, Five sub-units, Complete Unit One, The Reclaiming Age About to take of to Slip-Space, near Georgia.
The large ship, The Reckoning, entered Slip-space, with fourteen other ships, to their next destination- to the next planet to be purified.
