John goes running down the hall, as he gets outside he hears a siren. All of a sudden marines spill out of a bunker with guns in hand. John can hear UNSC drop-ships starting up, and marines boarding them.
Cortona:
John we don't have time to wait for those drop-ships. There is a Warthog over in that bunker. Grab two marines, and let's go.
John:
You got it.
John heads towards one on the drop-ships and tell the last two guys to get off. On the way to the Warthog, John tells one of the marines to grab a sniper. The three hop into the Warthog and take-off. Gravel shooting out from under the tires, dust kicking up into the air. Master Chief shows no regard for the Warthog, as he hits the hills by the wooded area.
Marine:
Where did you say you learned to drive?
MC:
I never said I did, but I do know how. Besides these things are made to take damage. Not even those rockets launcher can put a dent in these. So just hold on.
Master Chief goes flying over a hill and out to a open plain.
Cortona:
John I got where that signal is coming from. Take clearing for a mile and you will be there.
MC:
Thanks, I am gonna plug you into the Warthog. I want you to scan as much as you can, I want to know where everyone is.
Cortona:
John... There is also something that is puzzling me. Listen to this.
Over the radio John hears a voice say, "Blue team, evade sight, and circle around." Master Chief looks to the marine next to him.
MC:
How are the team's organized?
Marine:
Well there Alpha, Omega, and Spartan.
MC:
What? Spartan?
Marine:
Yeah, I think their called Spartan three.
Cortona:
Sorry to interrupt the chit-chat but the Covenant should be in your site John.
MC:
OK, I see em. Get your sniper ready. You better be a good shot.
In the distance John sees a Covenant drop-ship dropping off elites, and hunters. Along with a few Banshee's. Cortona tells John that they have been spotted by the Covenant. The marine at the turret open fire onto the Banshees hoping to take em out. He can only get one of them, before the other two take off. John slams on the breaks and tells the marines to hop out, and stick close to him. John runs into the woods, finding a place to hide. This is not what John likes to do, but when your outnumbered by so much he knows to hide. They can here the Banshee's flying around over head trying to find the three. The sound of branches breaking under the heavy foot of the hunters can be heard close by. John looks at the two marines and tells them that they need to aim for the orange part of the Hunters. The two marines look at John as if he told them the meaning of life. They can't believe that someone can take the out with one shot. Neither of them believes what he is saying so Master Chief grabs the sniper, aims for the closest one and takes it out. This alerts the other Hunters and they begin to charge where the shot came from.
MC:
Shit!
Marine:
Didn't work?
MC:
No, it did, but the rest of the Hinters are now heading right to us. Be brave and go out fighting, ok?
The two marines look at John and pick up their guns. John gives the signal and the three of them stand up and open fire. But to their amazement The hunters are all dead. John has no idea what happens until he looks over by the Warthog and sees three soldiers standing there, they resemble John's armor but looks different. There by the Warthog stands a six foot, man. His armor is like Johns, but it seems to have an invisible look to it. It reminds John of the elites stealth armor. As the soldier turns off its cloak John gets a full view of the soldier. The armor is more rounded, its armor also looks less bulky. There also seems to be modified guns on it. The AR has a grenade launcher on it, and there is a weapon John sees that he has rarely seen, the Spartan has a sword. A modified version of the ones the elites has.
MC:
Is that them? The Spartan threes?
Marine:
Yep, that's the latest project.
But as long as John would like to walk over there and talk he hears the Banshee's flying overhead. But before John can react to the sounds the Spartan hops into the Warthog, and opens fire on the two Banshee's. Bringing them down almost instantly. John, and the marines run over to the Spartan, and begin to fire on the approaching Covenant.
MC:
So, you're the Spartan three. 117 here. Pleases to meet you.
Spartan:
117? You must be John, one of the only to survive the big war on Reach.
MC:
You know more than I wished about my past.
With that John takes out the last grunt. John hops into the driver seat of the Warthog and takes off, telling the marines to head back to base. John and the new Spartan take off going down the road.
Spartan:
Where are we going?
MC:
If there one thing I've learned it is to make sure their dead. These guys like to pop-up out of nowhere, so be ready.
As John drives into the clearing, he can see a collection of Spartan soldiers standing there, checking to make sure their enemies are dead. The Spartan hops off the Warthog and walks over to the other group. John can hear them talking.
Spartan group:
Whose that? 117. Master Chief? Yea that's 117. Should we take him back to base? Of course.
One of the soldiers that John guess is the leader walks over to John and tells him to follow him. John has no reason not to. So he leaves the Warthog and follows them. The walk to the Spartan HQ is quite, no one is talking. John begins to wonder where they are going. They soon reach a large round lump in the ground. John thinks to himself that this can't be the base it looks to small, until the leader opens a door and walks down. It looks almost like a basement. There is a spiral staircase, that leads to a large room. A room that looks like a training gym, the lights overhead gives off a glow. John can see a firing range in the distant, an obstacle course that would rival any, and a weight room. John begins to hear a man yell at the Spartans.
Man:
Welcome back! You guys did great! I don't know how you do it! Wow! Five Hunters in one clip! Whose the new guy? He looks like a Spartan 2.
Spartan:
Yeah, its 117 the Master Chief, he is back from the Halo project.
Man:
Well, a Spartan 2? How are you doing, John?
MC:
Well seeing how I just got back from a war, I am pretty tired. But other than that I am ok. Cortona keeps me company.
Man:
Ah, Cortona, how have you been?
Cortona:
Mike Sevial, how have you been?
Mike:
I see you remember me. Would you like to join our main computer?
Cortona:
That's up to John.
John:
Cortona stays with me. You can hook her up, but she stays with me.
Spartan:
Well John, what do you say? How about an upgrade in the suit department?
John:
It's worth a try.
John follows Mike into a room where he sees a outline of the green armor. John asks where the rest of the armor is. Mike says that it is all there. John takes off his helmet and gets help with the rest of his armor. For the first time in a very long time John has no armor on. He stands about six foot, he is very muscular, and has a few scars on him. His face has a long scar down his right eye, a shaved head. His face is thin, but has power to it. He has a strong chin and a cold look. John walks over to his new armor and picks up one of the boots. To his surprise the boot is amazingly light. He slips the boot on, and locks it into place. The boot only goes up to his mid-shin. He then slips on another boot, and his feet feel lighter. He already likes the new armor; he reaches for the greeves, and snaps them onto his thighs, and knees. He picks up his new chest guard. Already the suit only feels as heavy as his two boots. He puts on the rest of the armor and is quite happy with the new suit. John asks for his old helmet, he pulls out the drive containing Cortona. John take his new helmet and plugs Cortona in. He places his new helmet on. He can hear Cortona's voice and knows that everything is working. But one thing is weird to John. He only has the green part of the armor. H e asks Mike what is wrong, Mike just tells him to push the button on his right side of his waist. His body is surrounded by the black flexible material and is to his surprise it to is armor. John is told to take his new armor for a spin. But before he can the warning signal goes off again. Cortona alerts John that there are more Covenant coming in. Master Chief grabs a new AR and heads out.
John:
You guys have any Warthogs?
Spartan Leader:
Yes, but we better take the Tank. I'll drive, you gotta get used to your new armor.
The five of them get on the tank and head into battle. John is expecting good things. He tells Cortona to get him a layout of the land and to get the radar up and running. Before long the tank in under fire by a covenant drop-ship, John hops off of the Tank and goes to flank the Covenant. John can instantly tell he is quicker, lighter, stronger. He blazes through the woods with speed only matched by Kelly. John soon reaches the Covenant, but before he goes running into battle Cortona tells him she wants to something. Cortona activates Johns cloaking, John slowly sneaks up on the Covenant as they begin to set up their base. John can hear the Tank in the distance. John picks up his AR, and fires a single grenade. The Covenant don't even notice the grenade, that is until it explodes. Three Elites run into the woods, hoping to find the Master Chief. But before any of them come with in ten feet of John he opens fire on them, taking them all out. But the attention is quickly taken away from him as the Tank fires a round into the center of the camp. John sees that no one is one the tank.
MC:
Cortona, where are the rest of them?
Cortona:
I'll activate the heat vision.
As the heat vision comes on, John can see that the other three are flanking the Covenant base. John rushes into the base and begins taking out Covenant left and right. Before long, the rest of the Spartans enter the base, and soon they all take out the Covenant.
MC:
Good Job rookies.
Spartan:
Yeah, whatever; you didn't do to bad yourself.
MC:
Well I did all this by myself, what feels like yesterday.
Spartan Leader:
Well it seems your use to the new suit.
MC:
Feels just like home.
Spartan Leader:
You came just in time, we are going on a mission to the Covenant HQ. We will need your help.
MC:
Well then I'm coming with you.
