Our story picks up just shortly after the end of the first game. Mater Chief has just gotten off of the ring world known as Halo. He knows that he is the only one that escaped the flood, survived the battle with the Covenant. But he is not the only one who got off Halo alive; 343 Guilty Spark has made it too. Halo: The ReturnCortona:
Master Chief, I am still not picking up any life ships other ours.
MC:
Keep looking Cortona.
John stands up and walks over to the vending machine. He reaches for a glass of water and a power bar. This was his first mission without his Spartans. He fought the Covenant, and won; he fought the flood and won; and he won against GS. He felt he was due for a break. His armor was back to a dull brown like his first armor was. He had been through a lot and was ready to rest. When he got where he was going he was going to have to share what he learned. He learned a lot from this war, and hoped that this may help the UNSC win the war. He knew that they hadn't won nor did they lose. There were more life's wasted then spent. He knew that without the help he would have died, but that wasn't good enough. To many rookies died helping out UNSC, and yet no one would ever know who they were. Some may say John was a hero, but to him, the people that have their life fighting for freedom were the real hero's. But John couldn't let that get him down; he still had to get home. He knew the Covenant would be looking for survivors and they would find him. He had better get out of there before the Covenant gets there. He knew that if the Covenant found out who he was they would hunt him down. He destroyed a religious land of theirs. But again he knew he had to get to a safe base.
MC:
Cortona set a course.
Cortona:
Where to Master Chief?
MC:
Earth. Were going to earth.
Cortona:
Ok, Master Chief. You know the drill into the cryo tube.
MC:
I hate this part. Last time I came out I got stuck on Halo.
Cortona:
Yea, I know, but I will be watching you Master Chief.
MC:
Cortona, do me a favor and call me John.
Cortona:
You got it John.
John puts his helmet back on and makes his way to the cryo tube. John doesn't like the feeling of entering the tube-tube. He doesn't want to go through another experience like the war on Halo. The uneasy feeling is soon settled by the by gas of the tube-tube. John takes on last look at what he hopes is a safe trip. But unknowing to John, 343 GS is attempting to locate his ship, so that he may teleport himself to John.
343 GS:
Ah... There you are.
The 343 GS is ready to teleport himself to John. He is ready to kill John, but he can't. He knows Cortona will be watching out for John. He must hide, but he has little time to decided where, he must get on the ship before John is to far away. Then with a sudden yellow flash, 343 is on the ship. He has been able to make it undetected. Cortonas security system has one flaw in it. It only detects moving objects, and 343 knew that. So he went to the place where movement was abundant, the engine room. There 343 can sit, a wait. He needs to plan, he needs to figure out what he should do. But seeing how he is a computer, this only takes a few seconds. And he is left to spend the rest of his time training the rats onboard the ship how to calculate the quantum theory. As time goes on 343 soon hears Cortona say, "Welcome back John. Earth is three hours away." This is it, 343 can now make his move. 343 decides to sneak in and take out the Master Chief. He teleports himself into the same room as John, only a few feet away. He swiftly makes his way to MC, floats to level with MC's head. Before 343 can do anything, John spins around with pistol in hand puts it to the bottom of 343's body, and blasts 343 circuit brains out.
John:
I really hated him.
With that John stomps on sparking body of 343, and kicks him back into the engine room.
Cortona:
Why did you do that? He had a wealth of info in him.
John:
Fine, I'll go find his memory chips.
John goes into the engine room, and picks up 343 sparking body and rips out the memory, and pushes it into his helmet drive.
John:
There, I hope you're happy.
Cortona:
ETA 5 minutes, and yes I am happy. Please buckle up, and get ready for decent.
MC:
Yea, yea; I'm going. Cortona, patch me into the earth UNSC.
Cortona:
It seems they are trying to contact us.
MC:
What? They must have picked us up on radar. Patch em' through.
Voice:
Unknown vessel, please identify yourself.
MC:
Master Chief, here. Let me speak to your commanding officer.
Officer:
Master Chief? This is commanding officer of the Earth UNSC. Go ahead.
MC:
I am the only known person to survive the mission to the ring world known as Halo. We seem to have run into more trouble than we thought was there.
Officer:
Well you're about to land, so we will talk when you get in. UNSC out.
Cortona:
John, I am picking up Covenant forces on the radar. We better warn the UNSC.
John:
If we can see them, so can they. But patch me through anyway.
Cortona:
You got it.
John:
Hello? UNSC? We got a problem. I am being followed by Covenant forces. I repeat, Covenant forces are coming.
Voice:
I copy you Master Chief. We are scrambling marines right now.
Johns ship has landed; as he looks around he can see heavy woods to his right and a large brick building to his left. In the distant he can see marines running out of a bunker, and right into another. He grabs his helmet out of the ship, and head towards the bunker where he sees the marines running into and out of.
MC:
Cortona, get me a blue print of the base, and get their radio signal up. I want to hear what their saying.
Cortona:
You got it John, just give me some time.
Upon entering the base, John asks for the commanding officer. But is only meet with surprise by all the marines, they all have never meet a Spartan solider. He can't get more than a few words out of the marines. John ignores their comments and looks for an officer. He can see one man giving orders, and heads towards him.
MC:
Sir! Spartan 117 reporting.
Officer:
Glad to see you're here, grab a gun, and get ready. ETA of Covenant forces one hour.
MC:
I need all the information you have of the incoming forces.
Officer:
I don't know that information, only HQ does.
MC:
Fine give me a gun, and I'm gone.
The officer throws John an AR and John turns and heads straight for the door. He suspects that the large brick building is HQ.
John:
Cortona, where's that info I asked for?
Cortona:
I can't find any prints, and the radio waves are pretty much silent.
John:
Ok, fine; Keep me updated.
John enters the building and is meet by heavily armed guards.
Guard:
Where do you think your going?
John ignores the two guards and pushes past them. The two guards yell for him to freeze, but John continues to ignore them. Just before John enters the control room lobby, he hears the two guards yell, "fire!" Bullets bounce off on John's armor, and don't phase him. John burts into the main control room and is meet by guns aiming at him.
Guard:
Who are you? How did you get into here?
John forces down one of the guns and looks at the guard.
John:
I am Master Chief of the Spartan 2 soldiers. Now let me speak to your commanding officer.
Officer:
Let him through.
The two guards drop their guns and get back to their position.
Officer:
What is it 117?
MC:
What?
Officer:
Don't be amazed that we have your history.
MC:
Ok, whatever; Just give me all the info you have on the Covenant forces.
Cortona:
John, I think you need to hear this.
A radio transmission is coming through, but just barley.
Marine:
I rea...Covena...edy her.
Cortona:
John, he is saying that the Covenant are already here. We have to go.
MC:
Ok, give me a source to that transmission.
John begins to rush out the door. But before he can the officer asks him where he is going. John replies that the Covenant are already here and that they had better prepare.
