Alternate Halo
(I know this is in code, don't bitch about it please)
(This is my last submission to the site, I hope you enjoyed it)
"Help me, I have a wounded marine!" somebody yelled from outside Will's home. Will Markus had lived in Australia for the longest time and it was one of the only hospitable places on Earth to live. The Covenant had invaded Earth with ease. Will ran to the lady's side to help the marine out.
"What's the matter with him?" Will asked, even though he could clearly see his right upper leg was torn right off.
"Wound in the leg," the lady said to Will, as she walked up the front porch of the house, and into his living room. Will ran to the kitchen to get some painkillers, and water. He returned and the lady was covered in blood. Her Marine uniform had looked very worn out.
"I'm from the twenty second division," the lady said. "My name is Pat Henderson." Will didn't seem to care as he fed the marine the pills.
"Pat run to the kitchen and get some medical tape, it's the first cabinet on the left," Will said. Pat got up and ran to the kitchen. The marine spoke up for the first time.
"Am I going to be alright? He asked, and then he blacked out. Pat was back with the tape and wrapped it around the marine's leg. After that they placed the marine in Will's bedroom, which was the second room on the right of the long hallway, in the back of his house. Pat decided to tell Will what the situation was in Australia. Both of them sat down in the living room.
"The Covenant have invaded the whole entire south part of the country," Pat said. "If we can get out of Australia, then we can make out way to New Guinea. The Covenant haven't gotten there yet." Will wasn't able to comprehend everything that was going on because it was all happening so fast.
"I'm not going anywhere yet," he said. "I don't even have a boat. First of all you come barging into my home and asking for medical help. Now you want me to leave my house? I just need a little time to think about all of this." Will broke out into a sweat and was trying to think. Just then some static broke out from a radio that was attached to Pat's Marine uniform.
"……they're….co…..in….your direction….. zones…thirteen….thro….twenty-…..aren't saf……….." the signal stopped.
"They got to my command post," Pat said. "We need to leave now!" Pat got up out of her chair and went into Will's bedroom to fetch the injured marine. Will followed her.
"They didn't say which zones were going to be affected," Will said. "They could've been trying to say zones thirteen through twenty-one. I live in zone twenty-eight."
"We can't afford to assume that they didn't call this zone," Pat said. "By the way what's your name?"
"It's Will."
"Well, Will, let's go!"
` "It might not be my zone. I can't leave my home!"
"God-damnit Will!----"
A loud crash ran through the house and a whole section of the house was blown off. Pat through the marine into the bedroom and took the marine's gun.
"Can you fire this?" Pat asked Will.
"I've never fired a gun in my life," Will said.
"Well you'll have to learn fast. Here they come." The living room was totally demolished and debris was everywhere. Pat handed Will an M6C Pistol, she held a BR55 Rifle. Three grunts came rushing through the, what used to be living room, and saw the two humans standing in the hallway.
"Humans, kill them!" one of the Grunts shouted, and fired upon Pat and Will. Will dodged the attack and Pat fired her gun at the commanding grunt. The grunt was soon just a plastered body that stuck on the ground. Will steadied his pistol at another grunt and managed to graze its side. Pat ducked and fired at the remaining grunts in a matter of two seconds. Pat opened the bedroom door and through Will in with her. She stripped the marine of his body armor and gave it to Will, to put on. Will hesitantly put on the armor.
"We can escape through the window," Will said as he pointed to a window just above his bed. There was banging on the bedroom door. "We better go now."
"I thought you didn't want to go," Pat said to Will as she opened the window.
"Well, I changed my mind." Pat slipped out the window first, Will slipped the marine to her, and then crawled out himself. The bedroom door and been broken down by an Elite when the Grunts weren't able to do the job themselves. Outside was totally wasteland. Houses were burning, and the Covenant were overrunning the streets. Will got to his drive way and saw that his car was destroyed. Pat was hiding on the side of the house. A Jackal that was on top of his roof caught him. The Jackal fired at Will and Will was hit in the side of his chest. He lay on the pavement bleeding. The Jackal was about to fire a second time but bullets soon entered his scrawny body. The bullets however didn't come from Pat's gun. A Warthog came rolling by.
"Get in!" a marine yelled as he jumped out of the jeep-like vehicle. Another marine hopped out of the Warthog was well. He ran to Will and dragged his body in the vehicle. Pat ran to the Warthog with the Marine's body in her arms.
"What's going on?" Will asked, as his face was turning whiter by the second.
"Just close your eyes sir," the marine said. All five of them were in the Warthog and drove down the street in a hurry.
"Banshees are overhead!" one of the marine's yelled as he was on the turret.
"Well fire on their asses!" the what looked like sergeant, yelled back. The Banshees didn't care about the bullets. They fired upon the Warthog and Will was dead in a matter of seconds, along with the injured marine.
"We gotta shack them!" the sergeant yelled. The Banshees bombed the Warthog. The vehicle flipped through the sky and landed on it's feet, but it was in flames. All the remaining humans in the vehicle were dead.
About a year later, Earth was fully invaded. All of the humans were wiped out, except for one. The Covenant ran tests on this specific human. This human was Pat Henderson.
