Great imagination skraeling. What I found amazing about the story were all the ideas put into it. You must be quite a creative person.
Unfortunately, I only found a few places in the story funny enough to call this story a comedy. The best word I could use is potential comedy. There is a lot of potential here, but the ideas, however original, are in my opinion under-developed.
My suggestion is to look at your stories from the point of view of each character, see if what is going on makes sense for them. For instance, I highly doubt a Prophet would take the kind of back talk in the story from an Elite, you might have considered the Elite being imprisoned or killed off by the Prophet halfway into the story, then another Elite commander takes his place, and then that one is killed off, etc. You could have killed off half of the Covenant Elites in just your one story by the time it ended. Another place that seemed out of character was the Elite talking about the Hunter making fun of them and then shooting, that is not that fun, much more fun to have the Elite shoot FIRST and then say why.
Anyway, these are just suggestions, I hope they are of value to you.
Overall, you can improve on this stuff by letting your ideas brew around in your head longer before putting them into print. Carry a notebook around when you have free time and when an idea comes to mind, write it down. Then later take what you wrote and think about it, let the idea mature in your head a while.
It takes years to develop some fictional worlds and the characters that inhabit them. When you write about characters and worlds that are well developed in your mind, it isn't like it is made up anymore, it is like it is really happening to you.
You definitely have lots of great ideas and writing talent, keep up the writing and have fun.

Not bad, i actually laughed, while reading through parts of this, unlike other comedies i've read by others, whose names i have now forgotten, but not the point. It was funny. Next time click on Directions to use when you click on fanfiction Submit link.
Code, it and it will be better to read.

I skimmed through parts, but mainly I just read the dialogue.
I found this so stupid it was hilarious.
"Maybe he can't run because he's so fat."
Jab.
Hilarious.

I cranked down the resolution in my monitor, and it's a little better.
Yes, I can see it a little more clearly now.
Somewhat amusing.

"Jus 'Kilamee" -- a really funny play on words with an Elite's name. So the Hunter's like mushrooms, huh? Hmmmm...

Er...it was cute? It did have some funny parts in it. (I liked the mushrooms) You do need to work on it though. Personally, I couldn't do any better so it was a good job. I don't know, with me, I make fan fic comedy by putting in a lot of situational and dramatic irony and having an erratic story line. But I'm not good at comedy. Just an idea, read the fan fics "The Wizards Duel" (its the one mocking LotR) and the second one. Anyway, good stuff.

That was hilarious. I liked the childish dialogue of the various characters, and the odd tie in to reality. I particularly appreciated the clean language. Probably the funniest thing I have read in the fan fic section. Keep it going man.

Well I think that that was so incredibly stupid that any smarts I had left have now been sucked away into an alternate dimention.
As for the story, it could use the code. It was almost funny, but I think you about went beyond stupid.
