CHAPTER 1
2301 hours, November 21st, 2552(Military Calander)/Covenant battle cruiser Syphon/en route to Reach
The six spartans plastered themselves to the wall.
"James, status report." Green Squad Leader Christian said. "Standby," James replied.
There was slience for a moment when James spoke again, "In the next room there are 3 hunt-and-kill elite teams, and a team of grunts."
"Copy that. Ralph, open the door." Christian ordered.
"Roger that, sir." Ralph answered and walked towards the door. He did something to the control panel and the door opened.
Chris nodded and pointed into the room. His squad got crouched and slowly walked into the room, hiding in the shadows.
"Brian, hit and run tactic." Chris ordered.
"Affirmative." Brian said as he charged out from the shadows and tossed a grenade. The grenade hit a grunt in the foot.
The grunt turned to it, looked at it oddly, and screamly loudly. The grenade went off. The grunt was blown to pieces, along with a few other grunts and an elite. Brian spun around to see an elite towering over him. "Oh sh-" The elite brought his knee into Brian's chest. Ribs broke. Brian fell to the ground, breathing lightly. This elite had been through hell if it could break the MJOLNIR armour. Justin and Allan charged to aid Brian, MA5B Assault Rifles drawn, emptying a clip into an elite. "Go, go, go!" Chris yelled to the rest of his squad. The spartans open-fired. The bullets teared through the bodies of elites and grunts. Killing them instantly. "Ralph, give Brian a med-pack." Chris said to Ralph. "But shouldn't w-" Ralph started. "Don't question my orders! Do it! NOW!" Chris yelled angrily. Ralph nodded slowly,"Y...yes sir." Chris fed his rifle a magazine. "Alright squad! We have to clear the ship before it reaches Reach!" Chris barked to his squad. His squad nodded.
Chris opened a private COM channel. "Come in Blue Leader. This is Green Leader Christian, do you read me?"
"Roger that. This is Blue Leader Sera, hows the mission going Chris?" Green Leader replied.
"Its alright, we have an injured spartan, but he'll make it." Chris said.
"I see....we aren't doing so well holding up the main tower on Reach. The covenant just keep coming." Sera yeleld over the sound of gunfire.
"Just hold on for awhile longer, we should be there soon." Chris said.
The line was quite for a moment.
"Ok, hurry up. We already have two Spartans KIA." Sera replied.
"Damn, alright...seeya there."
Chris turned to his team. "James, estimated time until we get to Reach?" James thought for a moment and said,"We'll get to Reach in approx. 3.5 hours." Chris nodded,"Alright squad! We have to clear the ship right now! We don't have much time! James, you're with me. Justin you go with Allan. We meet back here in 3 hours....Move out!" Chris yelled. James and Chris went one way, and Jusin and Allan, the other. Ralph stayed with Brian.
CHAPTER 2
2302 hours, November 21st, 2552(Military Calander)/Main Communications Tower/Reach
The open section of the wall was the only place the marines and spartans could shoot from. Sera peeked out the open area, and pulled back as a plasma bolt whizzed by her head. "Jesus Christ....Christian better hurry up..." She said to herself. A marine tossed out a grenade, blowing up four elites. "Goodthrow Johnson!" Sera yelled to him. He smiled and fired his MA5B Assault Rifle. He shot the head of a jackal clean off. Sera crouched and walked slowly towards her squad. She walked over dead marines and weapons. She got to her squad. "Rachel, status report." Sera said. Rachel tossed something out the open gap in the wall. "Lets see....ok. There are seven dozen hunt-and-kill elite teams, and about a hundred grunts, and forty jackals. So far they've only used Ghosts and Banshees...we'd be luckly to see anything else." Rachel said. Sera nodded and grabbed a dead marines M90 Shotgun, stood up, and fired. The bullets rammed into an elite's head, blowing 3 quarters of it off. Sera crouched again. "Any sign of Covenant dropships....or our own?" Sera asked. Rachel opened a COM-Link with the scouting area of the tower. She said something then responded to Sera with, "There is a Covenant Battle Cruiser, it should be here in a couple hours, about 3. The strange thing is...its coming alone. Battle Cruisers usually come with many other ships...something weird is going on..." Sera nodded and looked at the sky. It was filled with smoke, and black clouds.
2302 hours, November 21st, 2552(Military Calander)/Covenant battle cruiser Syphon/en route to Reach
Chris came to a stop. Thirty feet infont of him was a cryotube, surrounded by elites and jackals. Chris opened a COM-Link with Ralph. "Ralph, ask Rick if we ever sent a 'special cargo' ship near Sector-9." Chris said. Ralph replied,"Roger."
It was silent for a moment. Then the A.I. Rick spoke,"Chris what do you mean by special cargo?"
Chris sighed. "A cryotube." He said silently. Rick gasped.
"A cry- 'sepcial cargo' ship was never sent in Sector-9...the only reports of a ship going there is The Pillar Of Autumn. But that was only to escape the Covenant." Rick said.
Chris thought for a moment.
"Me and James are gonna check this one out...if we don't respond in 5 minutes, send Ralph over."
"Affirmative."
