CHAPTER 1: Cortana...Lost???
Halo (2) 0300 Hours UNSC Frequency Com.112
on board Pelican 305 to a Covenant Base
Pelican 305 drifts through the air trying to keep the engines from making to much noise. "You mean to tell me that we don't even know what we're looking for," exclaimed Sgt. Oliver. "Sorry, didn't here that, said Commander Kingsman on board the ship Orion drifting around the second Halo, "I thought I just heard you speak rudely to a commanding officer." Commander Kingsman wanted to make it clear that he was in charge. "Sorry sir, I just didn't get the orders clearly," said Sgt. Oliver with remorse. "Whatever Sergeant," Commander Kingsman said, " now listen." The
Covenant base you are looking for is supposed to be a Covenant weapons facility. They are supposed to have been designing exotic new weapons that could crush the human race and we can't let that happen. The Commander seemed more worked up than ever and was willing to do anything to blow up whatever weapons the Covenant were planning to use. "Got it sir, over and out," Sgt. Oliver said confident he and his marines along with Master Chief and Cortana could complete this mission.
As soon as the transmission ended, the dropship landed when the pilot over the intercom said her words of confidence and the ship was off. All of the marines, including Master Chief were equipped with MA5B assault rifles and S2 AM sniper rifles. They wanted to go stealth with the sniper, but if they got into a sticky situation they would want the assault rifle. They formed a staggered row as the walked down the forested hill. The Covenant base was a quarter of a click away when they finally noticed how small the base was. Cortana said to Master Chief that the base probably had a deep underground section, but she wouldn't know until they were inside.
They crept up to an opening of the structure, a large cave-like opening. They were moving through the large opening when several Gold-clad Elites ambushed them from all sides. There were screams of agony then the screams ceased. Four Marines were knocked out, including Master Chief, and the rest were dead. One Elite walked up to Master Chief, muttered something about a "Prophet" and a "reward" and without wait, pulled out Cortana from Master Chief's helmet, laughing as he walked away as the other Elites dragged the bodies.
Master Chief awoke surrounded by energy barriers with 2 other Marines lying beside him. He noticed that the other marines were not there. He asked the marine next to him were they were and pointed at his helmet. Master Chief was about to take the chip from the helmet in his head when he noticed Cortana wasn't there. He soon realized that he had to look at the Marine's data chip to find the answers he needed. He inserted the chip in his helmet and was instantly looking through the Marine's helmet camera. It was at the part of the dropship so he fast-forwarded to the part of the ambush. He saw the Elites surround him and the other marines. The Marines put up a decent fight, but their moral took a plunge when they saw Sgt. Oliver gutted from a plasma sword and Master Chief hit over the head with a needler. Then one Elite went up to the Master Chief's helmet and he saw Cortana being taken. Then the helmet recording ended. He took out the chip the dropped it on the floor and cursed under his breath. How could he rescue Cortana? He couldn't even find a way out and even if he did, he didn't have a gun.CHAPTER 2: Finding a friend...or enemy
The Marine saw the Master Chief and said," You gotta find your friend, and to do that you need a gun. He pulled out—as the "Sarg" would say "a Covie Pistol and 2 Covie balls"—a Covenant Plasma Pistol and 2 Covenant Plasma Grenades. Master Chief lit up in excitement. Then there was a call over what was an intercom that said in a deep voice, " He's got a gun, send in the extermination team and take him out." All of a sudden he looked through the energy barriers and saw 5 Black-clad Special Ops Elites coming through a door and down a small narrow ramp. All of a sudden the energy barriers were shutdown and he realized he was in a large chamber. He looked at the marine who gave him the gifts. He motioned the Marine to get up. He did accordingly and asked what he wanted him to do. The Elites were getting closer. "You wanna be a hero marine," the Master Chief said sternly. The Marine answered yes. "I'm gonna stick the grenades on you and throw you under the Elites. The Marine hesitated and answered, " Sir, yes sir, anything for Earth". He told the plan to the marine. The was gonna keep the grenades concealed and when the Elites surrounded him in saw no threat he would detonate the grenades and the Elites would go flying off the small ramp. Then when the Elites were in range he threw the Marine under the Elites and they surrounded him. "Fuck you, assholes, as the Marine exploded and the Elites went flying off the narrow ramp and into an abyss of no return. As he walked forward he threw down the Plasma Pistol, and picked up as many plasma grenades as he could and after he collected his bounty he was wielding 2 Plasma Auto-Rifles and 4 Plasma Grenades on his belt. He walked forward and was determined to find Cortana at any cost.
The Elite named Turu Tokomee who had taken Cortana was on his way down flight of never ending ramps. When he got down to the last level it looked as if the station was on high security procedures, and that was the case. Special Ops Elites lined the doorway he had to get through. He walked up to the doorway smoothly as if he had a class 10 security clearance, but the Elites stopped him dead in his tracks. "What do you think you're doing here," said one of the Spec. Ops Elites. "I am here to deliver the construct to the Excellency," said Tokomee scared for his life. Tokomee handed the construct to the Spec. Ops Elite. The Elite kept the construct without even a "thank you". Tokomee was puzzled and so angry he didn't know what to do. "You may return to your post," the Spec. Ops Elite said very seriously. "I want full credit for getting that A. I.," said Tokomee demandingly. "You want credit, I give you credit," said the Spec. Ops Elite angrily, and with that the Elite pulled out his plasma sword and decapitated Tokomee. Then, he kicked the head into a corner, turned, shutdown and sheathed his sword and went through the door he was guarding.
Master Chief fought through dozens of corridors when he came to an arsenal. It contained regular Covie weapons so he got his fill and continued down the corridors. He finally got down to a weapons lab. He snuck around the corner and saw the Covenant using the weapons. One weapon or the schematics of a weapon was a large cannon. It fired a giant fuel rod charge—a blue one—that looked like it could cause some major chaos. He continued down and saw an interrogation room. He saw disturbing instruments of torture of pain. Some tools actually looked like they could suck the information out of the bodies. It was a strange thought some Master Chief tried not to think about it. Then he saw a marine soaked in blood lying on a table. He went over to the body, but then realized the body had been carved up. He was going to find the one responsible for this, but first he had to find Cortana.
The Elite entered the room where another Elite seated him. Then he saw Prophet Ebokras hovered in front of him. "I have the construct," the Elite said. "Good...plug it in," the Prophet hypnotically said. The Elite went over to the Covenant computer and did accordingly. Cortana popped up on the panel and started to look around cautiously. "Tell us child, where do you and your friends come from," the Prophet madly said, "it would be a real pleasure to see your scum wiped out of the galaxy". "I'm not telling anything," Cortana confidently said. "Then...we will have to the hack information we desire out of you," the Prophet said. With that he summoned 10 Grunts with the same gold and red robes on and they began to touch several panels. He seemed to summon the special Grunts with his hand. Was this creature magical? What other powers could he possess? "You...and your humans...from...cannot...be...a...distant...planet...uh..." the Prophet said looking angry with veins pulsing on his head,"Earrrrrrttttthhh...
Earth...Earth...Earth...Earth...Earth"!!! His eyes shot open and pulsed. "Set a course for Earth," he said to one of the Grunts at the controls," and prepare my shuttle, we will finally kill those humans, and destroy their planet, Ha Ha Ha".
Master Chief suddenly blew the door to Cortana open and said, "Go to hell Covenant scumbag"!!! Master Chief tossed a grenade to the Prophet and blew his off of his hover chair. He pulled Cortana out of the panel as the Grunts tried to help their master up. Then instantly the Prophet and his crew teleported away. Master Chief inserted Cortana in his helmet's chip slot. "They are going for Earth...probably sending an armada," Cortana desperately said. "In other words," Cortana said," we gotta get the hell outta dodge". "Good," Master Chief said, "lets go, now". Master Chief and Cortana raced for a docking bay as an alarm blared throughout the base. They grabbed Covenant Dropship, the only available thing and they were off. They raced off in space and went as fast as they could.
