Marines Fate : Part 1 (prologe)
Date: 12 October 2005, 3:51 am
Prologe:Shortly after fire team Bravo were deployed on Delta Halo, approximately 27 miles south-east of the Master Chief and hell-jumpers deployment. They were sent to inspect a fire squad (Theta)that lost contact with Amberclad soon after they landed. Bravo arrived at the given cordinance that fire team Theta were supposed to be, but they were shocked at what they had found...6/11 members of the squad were dead and the others were missing. A few dead Covenant in the area gave Bravo the idea that Theta were ambushed soon after they landed. Continuing their search they found a downed Albatross cargo ship that was meant to deliver Theta's vehicles. It was serverly damaged from plasma fire and the pilots were dead, it had beed shot down and searched by Covenant forces. With no signs of survivors, they contacted Amberclad and were brought back to assist in the capture of the Index with Commander Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Major A.J. Johnson. A BDA (battle damage assesment) team was sent out to gather the remains of Theta's disastor and report back.
Bravo team was 4 minutes out from the Library insertion point, when the saw an unknown ship (sentinel constructor facility) plow into the ground below sending a wall of dust and and debris soaring to their direction. After 2 minutes the dust cleared and the mission carried on. There was a high level of Covenant activity in the area due to the sudden appearance of their "space station". There was also a high level of unknown lifeforms and security systems in the area. Bravo was paired with team Delta in assisting the capture of the Index with commanding squad Alpha, lead by Commander Keyes and Sergeant Johnson, each fire team in a seperate Pelican. As soon as Bravo arrived at the landing zone, they preped and made a tempromental command post. Alpha soon arrived. 5 minutes had passed and there was no response from team Delta's Pelican which should of arrived first. Still no response after an additional 3 minutes, they called for reinforcements from Amberclad. reinforcements would arrive in 10 minutes and a search group would try and find what had happened to Delta team.
Reinforcements finnaly arrived and Bravo was put on point at the enterance of a small structure that lead to the other part of the valley, while Alpha and the newly aquired Beta team continued on through the structure. After 12 minutes of fly-bys and trying to esstablish contact with Delta squad, the search team still haddent found what happened to them. Then about 2 minutes after the update, the search team sent a message that a Covenant air patrol had spotted them so they had to abandon the search effort and return to Amberclad. They were going to wait for the Covenant air patrol to pass by and then resume looking for Delta team. Amberclad was sending reports of un-scelduled dockings of Pelican dropships. Alpha and Beta team had finnaly made their way across to the other end of the valley where the main enterance to the gondola station and reported they had found Delta's Pelican! It had crash landed into an ice wall and weapons and supplies were scatted everywhere, as well as blood smeered all over the snow and a browny liquid seeping out of the pelican which everyone just thought it was fuel from a ruptured fuel tank...Only one survivor was found, he was uncounsious and buried under 1-foot of snow several meters away from the crash site. He had lacerations all over his chest and needed immediate medical attention. The other marines were missing, including the pilots. Alpha couldn't get air support to arrive due to the Covenant air patrols, so they left Beta team at the crash site to accopmany the survivor. Alpha continued onward to the gondola.
Suddenly, Amberclad sent out an emergency call that they were under attack by an unknown enemy that had infiltrated the docking bays, Alpha orded Bravo team to link up with their Pelican and fly back to Amberclad to find out more. Soon after, Beta team reported they were under attack by an unknown source and soon lost contact. Alpha team sent a few of their troops to go back and investigate what was going on back at the Pelican's crash site where Beta team was getting attacked. Those troops never reported back...Amberclad was no longer in contact and Bravo was already on their way to Amberclad, everything seemed ok from the outside, but then, as they were nearing Amberclad a Covenant Phantom had intercepted their Pelican and they were forced to make an emergency landing back at their command post, which was now overrun by Covenant. Bravo was forced to surrender, and they were captured. The Covenant immediatley took them to their space station known as "High Charity", to be interrigated. By now, Alpha was advancing toward the library on the gondola. They were under heavy attack by a Covenant air craft and the Flood was found attacking them too. They arrived at the library enterance only to face wave after wave of Flood. Finnaly after several minutes of battling they moved onward with only four members left. Com. Keyes, Sgt. Johnson, Sgt. McKenzie and Corpral Perez. 4/12 members of their squad had survived and the others were either missing or dead. They successfuly obtained the Index but were captured by Covenant and brought to High charity for investigation. [PROLOGE ENDS] [CURRENT STORY CONTINUES IN PART 2]

Marines Fate : Part 2 The Calm Before The Storm
Date: 21 October 2005, 2:39 am
"Well, did you see anyone else?" Demanded Pvt Collins. "Yeah...They got Keyes and Johnson...And a few other marines. I think there being transported to the other tower." Replied Corpral Anderson. "You think they got McKenzie?" "Probarly..." Said Anderson in an angry tone as the hall door opens, revealing more captured marines. the Brute guards violently shove each marine into the free cell blocks only a few metres from Anderson and his group. "Hey Corpral,how the hell they get you guys? I thought you were the Commanders best squad?" Shouted Luitenant Thackery across the room. "They suprised us!!! Overran us!!! Didn't you! You filthy alien bastards!!! "Grrrr...Quiet human! Or you will be facing youre friends fate outside! Hahahaa." Barked the Brute guard as it walked out of the room. Pvt Bates started to speak. "So....What do you think they are gonna do with us?" He said, trying to hold his fear back. No one answered. Suddenly, everyone was alerted to plasma fire that echoed through the cell rooms followed by the screaming of marines. "What the??? Anderson, did you have any additional reinforcements following you???" Thackery asked looking very confused. "Not to my knowledge...I dout they come here way too much Covenant!" Replied Anderson. They could hear Brutes laughing just outside the hall door...Everone was sure what had happened. "Oh man! We are gonna die just like the rest!!! We gotta ge---" Anderson then interrupted Pvt Bates. "Shhhh! Listen!" Shouted Anderson. A slight humming sound was in the distance. "Amberclad?? Amberclad!! The Corps are coming, were saved!" Bates screamed out. The sound was getting closer.....A loud crash echoed through the room, followed by debris and dust. Part of the ceiling crummbles and comes crashing down... "Ev(cough Cough) Everyone alright!!??" Collins said, chocking on a thick cloud of dust. "Yeah..Thackery..? Thackery, you ok? Pvt Thackery??" Asked Pvt Logan. "(cough) Yes, im here!" Replied Thackery. Suddenly the power cuts out, the cell doors disable and open. Corpral Anderson notices. "Oh, quick! Quick! Everyone out! Move! Move! Move!
As everyone is climbing out of there cells, the power fail-safe kicks in. The cell doors then immediatley slams back down to lock-down state. "Arrr! My(cough) My leg! Arrg!" Screamed Bates at the top of his voice. "Oh no! Not good!" Anderson said. They desperatley try to pull the leg free, which has been jammed under the cell door... "Arrrr! Stop, stop!!! Go...Go see where Amberclad touched down...Bring help...Ok?" "Hang tight, marine! We will be right back!" Shouted Anderson. The squad of marines move up the hallway dodging bits of rubble, they also come across some dead marines...They had been executed not long ago. Continuing on, they discover osme dead Brutes under a huge chunck of metal which had collapsed on them. They finnaly the door at the end. They step out of the door onto a Phantom docking pad which was overlooking the city. There was debris littered everywhere on the ground...Some Phantoms were still docked in their bays. The marines had a good view of the opposite tower. "Wheres Ambercla---" A huge chunck of flamming debris falls right in front of them. They all look upwards where the chunck of metal had fallen from, they find that Amberclad had crashed into the tower they were being held prisoner in!!! A bead of sweat ran down Corpral Anderson's face. "No...That can't...That isn't!!" He couldn't finish his sentence. A familiar noise was nearing... "Everyone down!" Collins shouted. All the marines started to crouch behind the huge bit of debris that had fallen earlier. they took a peek to see a group of Covenant Phantoms and Bandit dropships approaching. A group of Covenant climb out of the Bandit dropship and another group desend from a nearby Phantom. The two groups of Covenant start to venture into the ruins of Amberclad, while the dropships hold their position. After three minutes of hiding, the marines take another peek. They see the first group of Covenant come racing out of Amberclad's ruins. "What is it??" Asked the Brute pilot, sounding a little annoyed. "Fly youre troops out of here! Call in a Spec-Ops squad up here immediatley!!!" Replied the Brute commander, trying to catch his breath. "Whats going on, commander!!??" Demanded the pilot. "The Human vessel is infested with the parasite!!!" replied the Brute. "The Flood!?!?" Asked the pilot. "Yes!! Go now, we have to lock down the other towers! Inform the Hierarchs about this disastor! The Great Journey shall not be hindered by this plauge!!!" Said the Brute commander as the last of his squad stumbled on board. "Yes, commander!" The Covenant then evaded and flew back to the opposite tower.
"What the hell was that about?" Thackery said, as he stood up. I dont know...They looked...well..frightened.." Anderson said in a quiet voice. Thackery continued. "Well, what now? Any ideas?" No one answered... "Gyyyaaaaaaaaa!" The scream echoed up the hallway. "Wha---? Hey! That was Bates!" Logan said as he fell over a chunck of metal. "Ok, everyone follow me! see whats going on back there!!!" Ordered Anderson. The marines all move back down the hallway...They reach the cell where Bates got his leg stuck..They were shocked at what they had found....
Well, that's part 2 for ya! Part 3 on its way. I'd really like comments on what you thought of my story. Thanx for reading...
