Intro
It was a crisp cold morning as the spartans aboard the U.N.S.C. ships prepared for battle orbiting the U.N.S.C. fortress planet of Reach. Here they would hold off the covenant armada, or die trying. Field marshall Spartan D382 was in the lead battleship as the orbiting gauss guns powered up ready to fire. With most of the spartans needed planetside it was just D382, and Spartan Sergeant Q518. the orbital cannons just powered up when they saw the covenant come out of slipspace.
In another dimension far far away there was a convoy of rebel ships evading fire from the empire's armada. With most of their ships disabled the rebels had to flee. Many rebels died including their commanding officer before they could use slipspace. "You're in charge now Masonay " said the pilots from the other vessels. Masonay, being just a low ranked jedi was surprised by this, but he ordered to enter slipspace. They did, the empire did as well. All of the ships using slipspace that close was too much and caused both the empire and rebels to be teleported to another dimension.
Chapter 1
Melted metal on the sunrise
"Fire orbital cannons 4,7, and 14 NOW!" yelled Spartan D382 as the covenant forces came into hits as three covenant frigates shield's burst and their metal melted. "U.N.S.C. tennessee move up and cover the impotus." ordered the spartan. The tennessee moved up to assist the impotus but just at that moment arches of plasma energy shot from the space behind the defending ship. "Cannons 5,8, 10, 16 turn around and everyone; FIRE AT WILL!" he commanded BANG BANG BANG the orbital cannons thundered raining hell onto the covenant forces.
As the fighting continued the battle started to turn in the covenants favor as two of the 17 orbital cannons were disabled with plasma fire. D382 noticed this and barked his next order as he saw plasma heading straight for his ship, the Star ranger "MOVE TO-" he was cut short as SHREEEK was heard and the ship was hit. "EVACUATE!" yelled the Spartan as the fallen crew stumbled to their feet. He noticed a marine was knocked unconscious in the blow so he grabbed him as he ran to the evac stations. As they ran Ds82 realized Spartan Q518 was nowhere to be seen. He put the marine in a evac pod that had 7 other marines in it. "Take care of him" he ordered as he turned to rush and find Q518 before the ship's hulls came down on him.
He made it to the control room and looked for the missing spartan. He saw another set of black mjolnir armor, similar to his except it was the missing spartan. "Get up Sergeant" he said as he walked over to the downed spartan. BOOM the ship shook and D382 was thrown against the wall of the control room. He jumped to his feet and rushed to his squadmate. When he reached him he noticed he hadn't moved when the ship shuddered. "Are you okay?" he said as he pulled him up. The Spartans helmet stuck to the ground. D382 noticed a big metal pole was driven through the Spartan's visor and blood was dripping off the pole.
D382 rushed back to the evac station and couldn't find any open drop ships. He turned around and rushed to the O.D.S.T. station. There were only 7 of the 12 drop pods missing 'at least someone made it out' thought D382. He jumped in the pod and pulled the release switch. As he fell to orbit he witnessed the battle going on around him. Just then he saw a bright light and several unknown vessels come out of slipspace, it was then that he fainted from the pull of gravity on him.
