HALO: The Prophet of Love. Part I

Planet Earth, New Mombasa
"Keep firing!" screamed Sgt. Helving "We mustn't let those covie bastereds past the barrier." The covenant kept charging towards the barrier in hoping to tear it down. The base behind the barrier is what they were after; if the covenant got that then earth was doomed. "I need backup" said Sgt. Helving through his radio. "Negative Sir, we don't have back up to send right now" explained Pvt. Isley. "Damn it all." cursed Helving. The rifle fire rang through Pvt.Wallace's hears as the covenant came ever closer. "We failed," he said "it's over." "Not yet you didn't" boomed a mysterious voice, surprisingly it was strangely calming. "'Bout damn time they came" said Sgt.Helving. "What, who is coming?" asked Pvt.Wallace. "Them" said Helving as he saw the pelican in the distance.
"Not yet you didn't, hold on we are on our way" said John into his radio. As the pelican came roaring to the ground the cockpit began to shudder. "We will be touching down in five minutes" said the pilot. "Good" replied John "Spartans, suit up in five." "Roger" replied everyone. Almost all of the Spartans died on Planet Reach when it fell. John, Linda, Fred, Kelly, and Will were all that are left of their dying breed. John still regrets not helping his Spartans out back at Reach, but all that is in the past and there is still a future to write. Suddenly, the pelican came to a screeching halt and the cargo bay door opened, "Spartans go, go, go" ordered John.
"Fred take the right post, Will take the left and Linda you come with me" said John. "Roger" replied Fred, "Yes sir" replied Will, "Got ya' back" replied Linda. "Glad you came to help," said Helving "we sure could use it, sir" "Glad to help Sergeant." replied John. "I'll keep watching the covenant battle net, so we don't get surprised" said Cortana. "Anything coming our way, Cortana?" asked John. "Not yet...wait...two banshees coming from our left." "Fred, take those out" said John over his com channel. Fred's acknowledging light lit up in John's HUD. Fred hefted the Jackhammer rocket launcher and fired two rounds. Two Banshees fell to the ground smoldered from the rocket rounds.
As the fighting waged on thousands of shell casings littered the ground. Grunt, Jackal, Elite, and human bodies lay across the battle field, ground as red as the evening sun. After night rose, the covenant began to retreat from the battle. "Phew, glad that is over" Helving said relieved. "Yes, for now, but they will be back," replied John "Fred" "Yes sir?" replied Fred. "Take Will and Linda and scan the area for wounded and any ammo you can find." John ordered. "Yes sir" replied Fred. "Chief," said Helving interrupting ", we have some intelligence of a covenant strong hold just 100,000 meters west from this position." "Sergeant, tell me in explicit detail of this strong hold," said John ", we maybe able to find a weakness with in it." "I've seen the strong hold, sir" said Pvt. Wallace "but it is nearly impossible to break into; you couldn't get within 100 feet without being detected" "We shall see, Private you will take us to this base" replied John "But..........yes sir" Wallace said depressingly. "That's weird," said Cortana puzzled ", that building was old Longsword bunker that was decommissioned in 2521. I wonder why the covenant are there." "Then we better find out." replied John.
"Here is what we do we will enter the base from here and slowly make our way to here, the armory, that is where we set up two havoc nukes. After that we only have a minute before the nukes detonate and we have to be long gone before then. Got it?" explained John. "Yes sir" replied everyone "When we get to the base, Wallace, I want you to keep an eye on the radio incase we need back up" John added "Of course sir" "Alright everybody we move out at dawn."

"When we get in, Privet, get back to the camp and rally the men." said John. "Yes sir" replied Wallace. "Let's move, hand signals from here on out." ordered John; he saw 3 acknowledge lights light up on his HUD. Good, at least they were ready. The strong hold Wallace was talking about was heavily guarded. Elite snipers watched from the towers as Jackals patrolled the main gate. The grunts just sat around sniffing the air, acting like they didn't have a care in the world. 'Perfect' thought John 'they are not expecting us.' He rose up two fingers and pointed to the Elites in the tower. Linda went ahead while the others stayed back; John knew she could get the job done with her silenced SRS99C-S2 AM. Linda was the sniper of the operation; she could hit the head of a bumblebee 100 miles away without flinching. The next thing John heard was two silenced gun shots and the Elite snipers fell three stories to the ground dead. "Alright Spartans," said John over his masked COM channel ", ready up; we're moving out"

Prophet of Love Part II
0645 hours, January 15, 2553 (Military Calendar)
Planet Earth, Unknown location West of New Mombasa; Covenant bunker.
John, Fred, and the rest of the Spartans sneaked their way into the heavily guarded Covenant bunker. Sometimes they had to stop incase they would be spotted or John would have a funny feeling about an unguarded hallway. When he came to a hallway he didn't like he had Fred go ahead and scope it out. Pretty soon they came to empty locker room that looked like it hadn't been used in ages. "Cortana, where do we go from here?" said John speaking into his own helmet. "Hold on, let me pull up the schematics," replied Cortana ", There, that should lead you to an empty office where you can easily enter the armory" replied Cortana. A little marker point showed up on John's HUD. "Excellent work, Cortana, thank you." said John. He sent this data to Fred, Will, and Linda. John was just about to move when he saw two Brutes walking down the hallway grunting to each other. 'If they catch us,' John thought ', this mission will be for nothing' and he ordered to stop. One of the Brutes looked in their direction, John's heart sped up and he began to sweat. Suddenly, they walked away. "Phew, that was close" said John quietly. When they made it to the office John snaked his optical cord under the door, "Nothing. Let's go." "Cortana, are there any Covenant in the armory" John asked "Scanning.....no covenant detected, it's almost too easy" "That's what's scaring me"
As they moved into the armory the kept a close eye on their motion trackers just in case, no movement detected. "Fred, set up those nukes. Will, cover him. Linda watch the door. We will be getting out of here shortly" ordered John. Three lights lit up in his HUD. John looked around, at his motion tracker, then looked at his team's bio-signs. Suddenly, three glowing swords showed up at the far end of the room. John couldn't see the wielders but he heard one of them shout "Stop the infidels.""Spartans we have company" John shouted. Soon battle rifle rounds were aimed at the three levitating swords. As the Elites took the rounds their camouflage generators failed and they began to charge at the Spartans. "Get them before they call in back up" shouted John. One of the Elites took a swing at Fred, but missed him by a hair. Will smacked one in the back of its head and the Elite screamed as his neck snapped in two. The third Elite charged after John, but Linda put a round through its temple. "Cortana, how come you didn't detect them?" asked John "I don't know Chief," replied Cortana "; they must have disguised their movements." Suddenly, one Elite showed up behind Linda. "Linda behind y..." John shouted, but it was too late the Elite shoved his sword into her midsection. The Elite laughed as Linda's limp body fell to the ground. John angrily lunged at the enormous creature shoving both SMGs into his midsection. "Go to Hell" the Elite said smirking "You first" replied John as he sent 40 rounds of SMG fire into its midsection killing it instantly.
John sat next to Linda taking of her helmet and laid it next to her, then his own. "I....just wanted...to...ugh...tell you something, John" Linda said as she coughed up blood. John clamped her hand, sticky with her own blood. "What is it" John said. "I love you..." Linda replied in a low voice. John saw her bio-signs flatten and she was dead. "I love you too." John said in a low voice only he could hear. "Chief the countdown has started; we need to move right now!" Cortana said interrupting. John folded Linda's hands over her chest, put his helmet back on and stood up. "Spartans, time to leave" said John. He hated leaving Linda's body but he knew he couldn't save her a second time. 00:50. They ran though the hallways killing everything that got in their way. 00:35. They made it to the big hanger. John pinned three grenades and threw them at the doors blowing them. 00:20. They made it outside and ran as far as they could. 00:05. They ducted behind a giant sheet of Titanium-A metal sticking out of the ground.00:00. The bunker lit up the morning sky like a roman candle. John and the other Spartans stood up and looked at the twisted burning wreckage. "Are you okay" asked Fred. "Yeah," replied John. ", come on we still have a job to do."
The End.
