The End. Part1
Date: 21 July 2005, 8:34 am
" The End " Part 1
The year is 2558 and the world is under attack, by aliens know as the Covenant. We came upon these Covenant one day near the home-away-from-home , planet Reach. A Marine found a ship with weird writings inscripted on the hull and began to inspect the ship with gun drawn, aimed at the cockpit. He pulled open the cockpit wing as white smoke billowed out obscuring his vision giving the alien inside time to knock him off and grab his weapon. The alien jumped out and asked the Marine to take him to his leader and got a kick to the gut and a punch to the face knocking the alien now known as an Elite to the ground. He took it to his commander which then given to higher respects was held captive and asked many questions of origin and name. All they got was grunt and spit to the face which led to its death. The Elite had a tracker inbedded in its spine that alerted his scouting party and they waged a full scale attack on the planet, which lasted for six years until they final destroyed the planet and led a small party to a large structure which we called Halo. The attack led to the surface where eventually the Master Chief, a biologically enhanced human with a state of the art suit destroyed the Halo and returned too Earth with the news and new information and was awarded for his efforts which were futile. The aliens finally found Earth and through startaling events, the Elites sided with the humans over a rebellion with Brutes and the Prophets of their homeworld. Now, now the Covenant are turning the tides of war with the creation of a new enemy, we call, the destroyer. This creature stands ten feet tall and weights over five hundered pounds wielding two swords and super strengh. The Covenant released these creature's fifteen days ago, This is Master Chiefs story and the final battle for earth through his and marines eye's. The objective is simple, destroy Covenant intelligence and find the Ark that activates all the halo rings.
" Team Bravo Blue is trapped by enemy fire, and we need to save their asses", said Sgt Henson as his fire team was in route to the objective. Sgt Henson is a stern man and very blan, but has a remarkable shot and trigger finger along with great leadership on the battlefield. He has been in control of his platoon since he became Sargent and loves his job with passion and grace. His team consists of two fire men, two demolitions men, and three sniper's, name's: Jody Jacklison, Neil Saunders, Sid Batters, Josh Tommson, Timmy Joseph, Andy Nixx, and Jim Colins. His team's name is Dark Wolf and are ODST's or Helljumpers when airborne, but on ground, they are one of the best damn assault team's the U.N.S.C. has seen in years and have many medals to sport. There latest objective since the Covenant found Earth is mostly reconisence and small firefights around the Covenant infested areas mostly around New Mombasa. Other areas, considering the situation, Asia and Germany are being helped and killing most Covenant in their areas and launching Nuclear weapons on the Capital Ships surrounding the Earth. Dark Wolf is within the fire zone and gets chased by three Banshee's unloading on them. Henson jumps on the turret and fire's on them until one is left when the Pelican is struck with two Fuel Rods destroying the left thruster and sending the Pelican into a spin nearly throwing Henson out the back as he jumped into his seat and strapped in for the crash landing. The drivers screamed out where the objective was when they struck a building and barrel rolled into a Semi and slid to a halt on its left side.
When Henson unstrapped himself and looked around, he didn't see Saunders and grunted in anger. Colins yelled as he unstrapped his harness and slammed into the rough metal flooring of the Pelican. Henson helped Colins up and walked outside to find Saunders bodie as the rest of his team got their weapons and loaded up. Henson climbed over the destroyed truck they hit and found Saunders ripped in half. He got his Dog Tags and walked back to his men at a very fast pace. He asked for bodie count and saw the pilots were dead and three of Colins ribs had shattered. He grabbed a Shotgun and two SMG's, cocked them and gave order to move out. They ran over to an office building twenty meters from the crash site and pulled out the coordinates to the objective. They busted down a door to the building and ran up the stairs to the top. Josh took position behind a ventalation system pipe with his Sniper Rifle as Jody, Sid, Timmy, and Andy spread to all four sides and scoped around. Henson checked Colins ribs and strapped a leather holder around him to keep them from moving too much. A piece of metal smashed into the piping next to Josh and scared him shitless. As he looked at the metal, an explosion got everybodies attention. They heard a sound, like a bomb falling out the sky and looked up. They saw what looked to be a space station, either the Monduse or the Harre, which didn't matter because it was heading straight for the city. They jumped over to the next building and ran down its emergency stairs to the road. They looked around for any sort of transportation as five Worthog's began to speed up the street. They stopped and Henson asked for a lift. The driver asked if they were Dark Wolf, and responded yes. He snickered and said we're your objective, so hop on while you got a chance. They did and drove off towards the main bridge to the city. They reached the gates and slammed right through them and drove to the middle of the bridge. They hopped out and waited for two Pelicans to pick them up.
The Pelican's flew up and landed on the bridge as the station grew closer and closer. They borded the Pelican's and sped out of the area. They were eighteen miles out as the station crashed into the city. The shockwave ran out at over one-thousand miles an hour and slammed the Pelicans. On contact the blast was seven miles wide and twenty high, almost out of the atmosphere. The Pelican's electrical wires were shorted and the Pelican's flew out of control. The pilots ran out of the cockpit with parachutes and jumped out. Dark Wolf put on their parachutes and jumped out as well. Henson looked back and saw the other Pelican hadn't released the marines and watched it crash into a building. Henson landed on a car and joined his team scattered through the area. They met up and looked for the pilots that landed a mile before them. They ran quickly because all the pilots had were pistol's, which weren't very effective against Covenant, especially elite's. They found the pilot's chutes and heard gunfire a block down from them. They ran down and snuck behind a City Bus where they saw the pilots pinned down inside a Hair Salon. Henson told Josh and Jody to take piont with sniper rifles and Sid, Timmy, Andy, and Jim to follow him. The Covenant count was seven Grunts, five Jackels, two Elite's, and one Hunter. Henson gave the order and Jody and Josh gave them cover fire on the left flank. Henson and Sid split over to a car in front of the building. Timmy, Andy, and Jim ran over to the opposite building and ran to the top for better angle. Josh and Jody pulled out the smoke grenades and tossed them under the Covenant. It gave Henson and Sid enough time to run in the shop and meet the pilots. Timmy and Andy loaded their Rocket Launchers and aimed on the Hunter. Josh and Jody took out the Grunts and Jackels while a well placed grenade from Sid took out one of the Elite's. Timmy shot the Hunter right in the spine as did Andy. The Hunter yelled and ripped in half sending blood and flesh through the street. Henson ran out of the building and smacked the Elite that had its attention on his commerades death. It fell to the ground and pulled out its Energy Sword. Henson shot it in the head and took its sword. They called for air support and were picked up by an Alpha Party Squad. The marines were taken to a base in Japan, where they stocked up on supplies and got a good ten hours rest. The next day, Col. Powers gave them a briefing of there new mission, which was followed by a, " Don't fail again".

" The End" Part 2
Andy looked out the ramp of the Pelican and saw a forest. Josh and Timmy were loading their weapon's while Sid, Jody, and Jim were talking amongst themselves. Henson was thinking to himself about the previous mission and how he failed as a Luitenant, and squad leader. The pilot's rang in on the comm. " We're five from the LZ. Load up". The red light came on and the squad stood up. Henson opened the back ramp and gave the orderly check. The marine in the back called out, " Eleven Check", " Ten Check", and so on. When the fifth marine called out, the Pelican shook violently to the right and an explosion echoed though the troop bay. The pilots yelled on the comm, " Get strapped in, this is gonna be rough! ", and the Pelican made a bending metal sound. The Left side of the Pelican began to rip apart and the marines on the left side stood over to the right. The Pelican shook and began to dive. The pilot door slided open and the pilots ran out and jumped out the back. Henson grunted and signaled to jump. They jumped out at twenty-two hundred, which was rough because a storm had just moved through the area. When they landed they found each other and took a look at the surroundings. The new recruits names were: Ricky Adkins, Henry Nickelson, Jose Jaupho, Micky Enhart, and Jack Young.
Henson lead his team towards the Black Mounatins where the Covenant had created a retreat. The objective was to infiltrate, annihilate, and leave no trace behind. The pilots that had flown the Pelican made up for their reaction in the air by leading the front. Henson split up even and silently took out the Shadow's around the base of the moutain with knifes and silenced pistols. They began their thirty minute climb up the moutain to the Covenant retreat. The new recruits moved twice as fast and made it to the begining of the retreat. Henson walked up and told them to go around the sides and take out the gaurds. The rest of the squad would follow forward after resistance is dead and start the infiltration. The new members scoped around the whole area and took out the eight Grunts, six Jackels, and five Elite's. The Grunts went down with a knife to the head, Jackels went down with a knife to the back and break of the neck. The Elite's were killed by three knifes and the butt of a rifle to the back to paralyze if not dead.
Henson and the squad ran up the middle with the newbies behind them. The door inside the retreat only opened for Transport Ships and Dropship's. Some Banshee's flew out occasionally and it opened for a very short seven seconds. Henson scattered his men around the entrance and gave them orders to go in alone. The door was begining to open for a dropship and they moved in. They looked like Veloceraptor's in a deep field full of humans for the hunt, which were the hunted. They ran in on both walls and hid behind purple storage crates. Henson looked around and gave order for assault. Ricky and Henry took out their M19 SSM's and aimed on a security area that was filled with Elite's. The rest of the squad took out their BR55's, B7's, and M90's for the assault. Ricky and Henry fired and the rest of the squad moved in to kill the level one enemies. The Elite's called for backup in the form of three Hunters. Ricky and Henry killed the Elite and the Hunters that came down the lift. The squad moved toward the lift and killed the two remaining Elite's. One Elite had an invisibility cloak on and took Ricky hostage for killing his brother. Henson picked up a Plasma Pistol and charged it while the rest of the squad kept weapons drawn on it. Josh readied his BR55 and waited for Henson to fire. Henson shot the Elite, taking down its shield and Josh put a bullet in its head. They borded the lift and flew up to the second level.
When the lift stopped, Jack thought the place was sound proof through the levels and walked out towards the a Grunt sleeping on the hard metal floor in the open. Henson told him to retreat but was too late. Three Plasma Grenade's glued to Jack and he yelled as they detonated. The squad took cover in the shadows and planned an assault while the Elite's figured he was the only marine left and kicked his melted bodie parts. Ricky and Henry pulled around their M19's and aimed on the Elite's while Henson, Jody and Micky moved across to the other side of the room. The rest of the marines sat with weapon's drawn and cocked. Henson signaled to Ricky and Henry to fire on three. He counted on his fingers slowly to three and flipped his third finger up. Ricky and Henry took one last second to aim and fired the rockets right at the chest of the center Elite of the three. The rockets detonated and ripped the Elite's in pieces and slung purple flesh and blood throughout the area. Sid found Young's dog tags and gave them to Henson who put them in his shame pocket. Henson looked at Sid in an angry way and stood up on a storage crate. He yelled at the marines for five minutes about following orders and led them across the room to the stairs that led to the center of the retreat. They moved up the stairs slowly thinking the Covenant had another ambush and were surprised they were getting lectured by a Gold Elite, the highest in the Covenant classification on battle. Before the marines got a chance to plan an attack five Brutes entered the room escorting three Destroyer's to the stage the Gold Elite was talking on. The marines looked around for a places to set explosives without having to engaging the Destroyer's. The demo man, Jose, got three C-4 High Gel Explosive sticks and placed one under a pillar held up the rock above the stairs. The marines entered the room slowly that was filled with Covenant and hid in the shadows behind the massive pillars holding the structure together. Jose, Ricky, and Henry went through the doors the Brutes and Destroyer's entered through and placed two more explosives inside the area.
Ten minutes later gun fire was heard and the marines aimed their weapons. Jose and Ricky exited the doors and had plasma bolts piercing near their feet. Henry jumped through the doors and shot off a round at the Destroyers now alert and being unchained by the Brutes who hurried and jumped off the stage. The destroyers jumped over the rocket and pulled out their swords, yes swords. Not plasma but actual aloy swords that were five feet long and three inches thick. They charged at Henry who was saved by Ricky who shot a rocket off in front of the Destroyer's, disorienting them. Henson signaled retreat and the squad ran for the stairs where they could detonate the explosives and block the stairs. Jody was shot in the leg and was carried by Andy who was getting Needler's on his foot and side. They exploded and Jody flew forward ten feet where Timmy cought her and passed Henson he ran so fast. Henry grabbed his tags and nearly lost his ass to a five foot sword. He was the last down the stairs and shot one last rocket to stall the Destroyer's as did Henry and made a run for the lift. Jose hit the switch as they decended down the lift and were shook to their knees by the blast. The marines made a sprint towards the door. They looked around for controls to open it when Jim found a Scorpian Tank in fair condition. He looked for another one and found five Worthog's in perfect condition. Henry and Ricky drove the tank with Timmy, Jody, Jose, and Micky on the sides. Henson, Sid, and Jim got the best Worthog and followed behind the tank. Henry shot the door once and made a tiny gap in the center. He shot again and made about a ten foot hole in the door. Henson pulled around and asked if they need help. Jim cocked the M68 Gauss Cannon and fired twenty rounds into the door widening it enough for them to fit through. They drove down to the base of the moutain and Jose detonated the explosive. The right side of the mountain blew out and fell in the moutain. Henson called for a Pelican and congratulated his marines for the great job they did and cleared for the Pelican to land. When he sat down he sighed and layed his helmet on his thigh as the Pelican flew off into the distant sunset.

" The End " Part 3
The Pelican turned a hard right throwing Henson out of his seat and to the floor. He was awake now and not knowing what was happening, crawled back in his seat and nervously looked to his right toward Jody. She looked back and pointed out the back when the ship made another hard right and launched Henson forward, stretching his harness. The Pelican made a hard left and slammed his back against the Titanium Alloy siding. Ricky laughed and jumped out of his seat with his buckle in his left hand and a Rocket Launcher in his right. He yelled and shot the round in the launcher out the back and struck a Banshee that exploded. The Elite jumped out and on the top of the Pelican when it veared to the right and shook. The Elite swung into the troop bay and wielded its Energy Sword and reared back to slice into Ricky for destroying its Banshee. Henson primed a grenade and kicked the Elite in the knee while Ricky ran forward. Henson tossed the grenade and Ricky cought it and stuck it in the Elite's mouth. Henson put his foot behind the Elite and Ricky pushed it backward. It fell out the back and its head exploded and blew purple blood onto the ramp. The Pelican made one last hard left and scratched the hull of the Pelican ripping a hole under the marines feet. The pilots yelled in the comm to hold on as they made an emergency landing on a small building. They smashed into the side of the building and slid across the top. The Pelican kept sliding and flew off the building onto another smaller building slamming the Pelican, nose first through three levels of the ten story building. The pilots stepped out of the cockpit and stood against the door looking grateful at the marines.
The sound of jet engines closed in and landed on top of the building as the marines cocked their weapons and climbed up the hole the Pelican made. At the top they were met by four marines who had Rocket Launcher's their hands. They took Dark Wolf to a waiting Pelican and flew them off to a small base, called Omega Faith. The Pelican landed in the Docking and Loading Bay on the East side of the base. They were escorted to the weapons lockers and then back to the Docking Bay to continue their mission. They loaded on a Cargo Ship with five Pelican's, three Scorpion Tank's, and ten Worthog's in the storage area. The marines were loaded onto the Worthog's and given their orders of what to do. Three more squads borded the ship and joined Dark Wolf. The Cargo Ship pulled out of the Bay and slowly flew off the base and into the forest that lead to a bigger base, the Chippen Daler, that the Covenant were trying to overtake. The Cargo Ship was two miles out as Henson peaked out a window ans saw three Longsword Fighter's equiped with a bomb of some sort. The Longsword Fighter's zoomed forward and out of sight with a sonicboom. Henson walked up to the third level, around to the cockpit and opened the door. He asked the pilots what the Longsword's were carrying and was happy to hear the bombs were Electromagnetic Impulse Disrupters that knock out the Covenant's plasma shielding technology. The pilots told Henson they were nearing the base and he needed to return to his place for ground launch. The Cargo Ship slowed and hovered twelve feet above the ground. It detatched the ramp and gave the green light to go.
The Worthog's pulled out first followed by the Scorpion's and Pelican's. The Pelican's flew off toward the base for air support leaving the marines behind to take the ten minute drive to the base. The marines came to a security gate and had the Scorpion's destroy them and moved through. They came within half a mile of the base when a Mortar burst from a Wraith exploded behind the lead Worthog and threw it in the air. It did one flip and climbed on its feet throwing the turret man into a ditch. The Worthog rolled to a stop and the axle dropped on the ground. Ricky jumped out off his Worthog and ran to the downed turret man, Cory Lawson, who had a broken back from the impact. Henson yelled for him to grab his tags and get back in his Worthog. Ricky grabbed his tags and checked on the driver and passenger of the mangled Worthog. They were both dead from head fractures that ran from the front of their head to the back. Ricky grabbed their tags and ran back to his Worthog. He pulled the driver and turret man off and hopped into the driver's seat. He flipped Henson off and sped down the road while the Wraith came into view of the Scorpion's cannon and waited orders. Henson gave the order and the Scorpion's took the Wraith that was hidden between two rocks. Ricky came into sight of the base and was jared by a plasma grenade that detonated on his tire. The back tire popped and the rim tore into the dirt. He held it until three Ghost's zoomed by him and popped all the tires on the Hog. The Hog began to roll and Ricky jumped out into a bush, a thorn bush that cushioned his landing. The Ghost's turned around and began to fire on him when they exploded into shrapnal that scattered through the area. Henson pulled up and asked what the hell he was thinking. Ricky just nodded and grabbed a Rocket Launcher off the back of the Hog and began walking down towards the base.
Henson grumbled and pulled the ground team out. Ricky jumped on a tank and aimed his Rocket Launcher towards the base. The leading Hog with Henson in the passenger seat was struck by two plasma bolts and one purple sniper beam that melted the windshield. Four snipers on the tanks took out the Jackal snipers and unloaded on the ground Elite's they could see. The Hog's pulled ahead and took out the remaining troops with Gauss Cannon and M41 Lagg fire. Two Shadow's Floated out of thin air and dropped four Ghost's and twenty ground troops off that occupied the marines. Ricky was the only one that took a hit because he stood in the open with a plasma grenade and Rocket Launcher taking all four Ghost's out by himself. The marines asked if he was taking something because they shure as hell could use it.
The marines moved in and ran in the main door the Covenant had blasted and held position. The bodies that lay on the floor were of mostly marines, they hadn't seen it coming.
Henson talked to the other three squad leader's and they all agreed on taking back the facility at all costs. The squads split up and were going to take each room slowly and secure them. The squad leader's were Henson, Smitty, Fred, Tom, and Ronald. They looked at the map in the main lobby and made their own route through the base. They made sure their comm. system was working and they set off. Henson lead his ten man squad through the South Wing of the base. It included the bunkers and the lounge area, along with a straight walk to the Docking Bay. The squad moved through the lounge without any Covenant resistence, and stopped for a bite to eat. They hadn't taken a break all day and set up a perimeter in the lounge, around the restroom and kitchen. Henson and Ricky took guard with a couple of hot dogs and cigar's while everyone else took a shit and ate their hearts out.
They began to leave when a Phantom party dropped of troops that busted through the East wall of the lounge. Ricky and Henson kept quite and put the silencers on their BR55's and aimed on the Grunts first. Henson took out ten and Ricky dusted six while the rest of the squad primed grenades and Rocket Launchers. One Jackal noticed a Grunt flop on its back and growled at the Elite's. The Covenant flipped the tables over and hid behind them. They laid plasma fire on the squad that was pinned in by their own cover. Henson grabbed Ricky and Henry, gave them both a Rocket Launcher and left them to do what they do best. Ricky fired a rocket right into a crowd of Jackal's and distracted the Covenant ground team long enough for him and Henry to jump their barracade and plant three grenades behind them. The Elite's realized what happened and jumped the tables as the grenades detonated and obliterated the Jackals and a couple of Elite's. Henry lobbed a Plasma grenade at an Elite and stuck it on his face. Ricky shot the other Elite with a Grenade Launcher and blew the Elite into a wall with a hole in his chest. The other Elite exploded and spread its bodie around the lounge.
The squad followed Henson through the halls of the South Wing and to the first five bunkers. The bodies of marines lay burnt with plasma holes ripped in their lifeless limbs. Jody became sick from the stench of the bodies and sat down on a bloody bunk that had three fingers wrapped around an SMG. Henson helped her up and put her behind him as he moved the squad onto the next bunker room. An Elite was waiting for them when they entered the door to the third bunker room. Henson was smacked in the face and fell into Jody. Ricky pulled out his Rocket Launcher and fired at the Elite that dodged and threw a Plasma grenade on Ricky's helmet that he pulled of and lobbed it behind a bunk that exploded and sent melted pieces across the room. Henson was grabbed by the Elite and held hostage with a Plasma Sword.
Henry and Ricky cornered the Elite with their Rockets ready to fire on command. Henson head butted the Elite, grabbed its weapon, and filled its belly with super heated plasma. Henry put a movement sensative grenade into the Elites bodie and set it for a one foot radius movement. The squad pushed forward through the base and met up with Smitty, Fred, and Ronald. Henson and the other three squads began to look for Toms' team when Tom jumped out of a door with plasma fire schorching past his head. He yelled and threw a remote detonator at Ronald as he took a blue plasma bolt to the chest that killed him instantly. All four squads hauled ass to the docking bay of the base, loaded up on ten Pelicans and flew off five miles, made shure no one was around the base, and blew the charge. The blast was small at first, imploded, and then shot out two miles with a blast wave moving at one mile a second. It rocked the Pelicans and shook the men up. Henson called ground control and steered the Pelicans to a war zone outside LZ Alpha Continent. The marines took a nap and waited to be woke up to plasma bolts blasting the Pelicans.
