The Spartans Captured
By James And Kevin
CHAPTER 1
Our story begins in Zanzibar. The covenant invasion has curently left our troops with almost no help. You see, us humans are not ready to encounter there alien weaponry. there is still some hope for the human race. Its not much too rely on hope, but thats all we have.
"Go, Go, GO!" Screamed a spartan captin under heavy fire. His name is Kevin. Kevin comes from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He is assisted by James, the second captin that got seperated from his troop awhile back. James came to the Marines from Virginia. Kevin's platoon also consisted of Carlos, Susan, and Frank. When the spartans came rushing out they were greeted by heavy fire. Plasma bolts beamed upon them like bees on a hot summer day.
They were all bearing their own kind of weaponry. Carlos specialized in sniping, so he had a sniper rifle. Susan, who was usually an SMG fan, came out with dual needlers. This was because she had killed a pair of grunts who had them, and insently favored the alien weapons. Kevin liked the shot gun and used it all the time. James only used the battle rifle; he liked it for its long range and three round burst mode. Frank came out with dual SMG's.
The battle had begun. Within group formation the spartans seemed to have been able to get out without injury. They took cover behined something to escape the the heavy fire. Then Kevin spotted a pair of grunts running towards his position. He sprang into action. Once they unknowingly ran past his position, he jumped from the shadows and gave them a quick end. After doing this he saw a ghost fly around the corner. He yelled out to Susan; "Get that rocket launcher and take out the vehicle!"
She ran back to base, got the launcher, an out a window locked onto the ghost. She fired. The shot rang out in her ears. Susan watched the rocket as it mimicked the ghost's movements and finally caught up with it. The detonation was so close to frank he could feel the heat from the explosion.
James with his battle rifle was shooting at the enemies, killing them one by one. He almost got hit by a plasma bolt when Frank yelled; "Move!", and tackled James before the shot could reach him. "I owe you one." said James. In that moment an elite came up behind Frank. James buried his rifle's butt right into its face, thus sending him off into a whirl. James aimed his rifle at the alien's head and fired. the elite was dead.
Carlos, who was trying to cover Frank as he was running across the battle field, saw a jackle try to flank him. Carlos inhaled, watching time slow while he aimed. he exhaled and fired. the bullet whirled through th air, then finally hit the jackle in the throat. It was forevermore at rest.
Now Frank was having trouble with grunts. He shot them all with his SMG's, but they just kept coming. As he shot them his guns were geting hot, the steaming shells slaped him in the face. Then his guns jammed, he had nowhere nearby to hide. The only cover he had was from Carlos. Fank signaled him to watch his back. Carlos worked feverisly to get Frank to a safe area. Frank ran with all his might, dodging all of the plasma that was coming at him. Carlos took out anything that blocked his path. when Frank finally reached cover, Carlos let his breath out.
Frank was trying to fix his gunss when he felt a firm grip on his shoulder. He was almost certain that it was one of his comrades. As he turned and said, "Hey im having gun tro-", he was knocked out.
Kevin as ignorant as ever was out in the open, just shooting away. James let him know this by killing an elite that was running up behined him. Kevin turned and sighed. Under his breath he said, "I would have been fine.", though he knew that he could have been in grave danger.
Susan was just blowing things up. Whenever a ghost or wraith whent by, she would fire. then a banshee came into her sight. she locked onto the target and pulledthe trigger. "click.", she pulled agin, "Click." She had ran out of ammo. when James noticed this he yelled, "use some plasmas!" Then Susan ran to a downed grunt and got its grenades. She activated it and threw it at the flying piece of alien meatal.
It did an arieal stunt and dodged it. Susan was frustrated. "This is your lucky day, but it won't last much longer." She climed up on the top of the tower over looking the whole battlefield. From there she could see all of the enemy and her allies. She then saw the banshee was right below her. Susan actovated the other three plasmas and dropped them all on the banshee's cockpit. She was finally rid of the menace.
Carlos was taking aliens out one after the other from inside the base. When he was scoping in on an elite's head, he saw something way better; a scorpion tank! He radioed the others and told them sence it was in their blind spot. "The tank has obviously been hijacked." he said trying to yell over the fight.
Susan saw it to scince she was still on the tower. She hastily ran back to the base to get more ammo. Once inside, she picked up five rockets. Carlos was trying to take out the tank's suports. When he saw Susan run by with the launcher, he knew what it was for. Susanran out the door to find the tank alot closer now.
She fired a pair of rockets at the tank, which damaged it harshly. Then, when she was trying to reload, the turret started to turn. She was very frightened. When the turret was almost on target, James and Kevin turned the corner in a warthog. "Lets go save your girlfriend!" shouted Kevin. "she's not my girlfriend!" James yelled back in a blush. He started to shoot the tank to distract it from Susan, it worked.
The turret slowly moved toerds the warthog and away from Susan! Finally she reloded the rocket launcher and fired at the tank agin. The tank exploded. The spartans saw the Covenant retreat to their ship and fly away. "Ha,run you pathetic excuse of an enemy!" Carlos yelled at the ship. The battle was over, they had won.

Chapter 3
"Left!" shouted James as he made a sharp left turn. Kevin followed. "Right!"
"where are we going?" asked Carlos.
"Coagulation." replied James.
"But why Coagulation?" Susan wanted to know, "I thought that place was abandoned."
"What a better place..." Kevin butted in.
The spartans drove for another mile or so when Carlos anounced there was an energy spike ahead. Jameas slowed, so did Kevin. After making a right around jagged boulder formation, they saw what caused the spike. At the only ground entrance to Coagulation was a few hundred grunts.
"Get in front of me." said James pulling off to the side.
"Roger, Susan man the turret." ordered Kevin.
"Aye." Susan responded.
"I don't think they've spotted us yet." Carlos reported.
At that moment the grunts opened up.
Shots rang out from both sides, a battle had begun. Susan took the first line of grunts out in less than a minute, the second line, not so easy. They grunts had energy sheilds, and needlers which would do more damage than the usual plasma pistol.
About five yards next to Kevin an explosion went off. "Holy-", another plasma-like rocket cut Kevin off. "Find out were it's coming from now!" he ordered. "Some were up there." Carlos pointed to a rocky out crop up above. A single burst came from Susan and the explosion stoped. "Got 'em" she yelled.
Kevin's warthog was being peppered by needlers. No matter what maneuver he tried, Kevin just couldn't shake them. "James, follow me behined that boulder, I have a plan." So james followed Kevin.
"Excellent tactic." Carlos said after Kevin explained the plan. "I'll get the bombs ready, Susan, find a good sized rock." James added.
"Bombs are armed." reported James.
"OK, drop the rock on my mark." grunted Kevin as he and carlos pushed the warthog into position.
"Copy that." Susan replied.
The exploding 'Hog tactic was al most complet. "No, no, almost...Now!" shouted Kevin. Susan drpopped the rock on the excelerator, and ran back for cover. The warthog raced towreds the grunts. "Detonation; now!" yelled James. BOOM! The explosion erased any and all traces of the grunts.
Kevin got back in the driver's seat, James in the passenger, Susan maned the turret, and Carlos sat on the rear bumper. the spartans road on.
At the Covenant's ship currently stationed in Coagulation, a grunt scurried down a corridor. "Master, master!," it yelled bursting onto the bridge, "I have a message from our outpost."
"What is it?" the Ship master demanded.
"It's the spartans, they're coming!"
"Esvi, report."
"Yes?" answered Esvi.
"Stay here and hold off the spartans."
"Yes master." Esvi said as he walked away, grabed a carbine, and got off the ship. it blasted off.
Susan saw this through her HUD's built-in scope. "We're too late." she anounced. "Let's go, maby we can find some clues.' kevin said as he drove into Coagulation. The spartans went through the abandoned bases, caves, anything to find a trace of Frank.
Kevin saw something move in the trees. BAM!, a single shot had hit Esvi in the legs, and he fellfrom the tree, his carbine out of reach. "Please...no more...I surrender." panted Esvi.
When he awoke, Esvi was in one of the abandoned bases, his legs much better. He cleared his eyes; adjusting to the dim light. "What is your name?" asked Kevin.
"I am Esvi'Mijuree."
"Where are your comrades going to next?"
"They are headed for Burial Mounds."
"Why?" asked Carlos.
"If my old platoon and I are correct," James answered, "Burial Mounds is no more than a big transport to the Covenant base, right Esvi?"
"One hundred precent."
"Lets go then." stated Susan, and they did just that; left.
After what seemed like hours, they got to Burial Mounds, the spartans in their warthog, and Esvi in a ghost. As it turned out, surprisingly Esvi was part of a rebelion and agreed to help. The rocky plains were deserted and scorched looking.
"They've been here..." Esvi said.
"How can you tell that?" asked James.
"You see thoses scorch marks?, that meens they've already used the teleport."
The spartans went to get their vehicles after clearing the remote area, when Esvi stoped them. "Those won't be necessary."
"Why not?" asked susan.
"You see, the base is in the air, and besides, it'll be to cramped.
So the spartans went back to their vehicles to get some ammo, then Kevin saw something on radar. Carlos appeared at his side.
"Thats odd."
"What?" asked Kevin.
"There are twentyseven red dots, the Covenant, and three green dots."
"Who are the green dots."
"I can't tell you their names, but their military IDs I can; 091, 682, and 531."
James Froze.
"What were their IDs agin?" asked James.
"091, 682, and 531, why?"
"Thomas, Marie, and Nasser..." James whispered to himself.
"What?"
"Thomas, Marie, and Nasser!," shouted James, "My old troop!"
Then in a flash of green, James ran to the monitor, and sprinted off in the direction of his newly-found, old troop. "Wait!" Kevin shouted. But it was too late, he was gone.

The Spartans Captured
By James and Kevin
Chapter 4
James rounded a curve and over a hill. Whathe saw were almost two dozen jackles, but no spartans. He took out his battle rifle and jumped in. Because the jackles wern't expecting him, James was able to kill atleast seven jackles, perfect. James could now see exactly were his team was trapped; a small, rock made bunker.
All the jackles turned and fired at him. James dove for cover behined a boulder. Out of nowhere, four small explosions went off. James poked his head around the corner. To his left was Kevins troop. To his right was his troop. Susan and Nasser were each holding a SPNKr rocket launcher. In the center of everything laid the bodies of two dozen jackles, a glorious sight.
After things got settled, James, Thomas, Nasser, and Marie got to have there "mini" reunion.
"How are you?" asked Nasser.
"I'm fine, you guys?" James asked.
"Good." Thomas replied.
"I'm injured..." Marie murmured as she fell over and passed out.
Carlos caught her, gently set her down, and stepped back for Kevin to examine her(this was because he was the highest ranking medical expert).
"She's taken a vital blow from an energy pistol," he announced as he looked up, "she's not going to make it."
"What do you mean she's not going to make it?" asked Thomas.
"Marie has some internal bleeding; the only available option is surgery and we just dont have the equipment with us."
They all sat there quietly,then James had an idea. He ran up to Marie, injected a can of BIO-foam, and faced his comrades. "That foam should keep Marie good for about an hour," James said as he turned to Esvi, "can you make this portal go anywhere besides the Covenant base?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Get us to the nearest, human medical center. Thomas help Esvi."
"Aye, sir." Thomas and Esvi answered.
"Kevin, keep an eyeon her BIO signs."
"Roger."
"Nasser, help me get Marie up."
"OK." he replied.
"Susan...grrh...cover us." James said breathlessly as he lifted Mari up with Nasser.
"Aye." Susan said as she wiped out her needlers.
In a flash of light, the spartans were at the Beaver Creek medical center. They ran into the red buiding (the ER) and the surgeons got Marie prepped for surgery. They were then sent to the blue building (the annex) and waited. After what seemed liked eons, the doctor came in.
"So how is she?" they all said at once.
"It was a difficult surgery, but she'll be fine..." Thomas sensed he was hiding something and asked; "Whats the catch?" The doctor looked up and said; "It'll take atleast a week for Marie to leave the hospital."
"So we leave without her," Kevin announced, "it's the only way." They all agreed. After Marie agreed to their plan, the spartans were on their way.
The elite set the object on the middle of the table then left. About five minutes later it returned, this time with a human. The elite shoved the human to the back wall. Shackles, that looked to be made of the same material as the ropes binding Frank's hands, tied themselfs around the human's. The elite gave a low bow to the one sitting, and left.
The elite stood up and spoke; "Let me show you what your insolence will get you." He picked up the object and activated it. Twin blades of energy appeared from its sides. Then the elite, with a swift move of it's arm, slashed the human across the torso. The human let out a blood curdling scream, and fell silent, he was dead.
Frank was scared, which was unusual for a spartan, He had never seen such an advanced weapon in his life. His mind raced, he had to think of a plan or he was headed towrds the same fate as the human. He came to the conclusion that he would have to simply outsmart the alien.
"Fine," Frank said, "I will tell you what you want, as long as you untie these ropes."
"Do you take me as a fool?" the elite asked.
"No, I mean what harm could come to you," Frank said persuasively, "you hve that sword and I have nothing."
The elite thought about this for a while and finally vame to untie Frank. The second the ropes were fully off, he sprang into action. In a flash of lightning Frank broke both the elite's wrist, grabed it's energy sword, and cut it's throat. "To be honest," Frank told the dieing alien, "yes, yes I do think your foolish."
