A/N: This is based on, and stars the main character from the Halo Legends short film Odd One Out. The short is non cannon, so this story is too. I own nothing, and if I did we would have a Halo movie. Enjoy, and please review!

Spartan 1337 twisted and struggled in the grip of the flying predator that had snatched him.

"Let go of me you dumb turkey! Don't you know how awesome I am? I don't deserve this!"

The predator paid the green armor clad Spartan no mind, and continued carrying its prey. Spartan 1337 reached to active his radio and call for help, only to be rewarded with a loud blast of static in his ear. The static was loud enough to frighten the winged predator into dropping its captive from its grip. As he fell, Spartan 1337 screamed in fear loud enough for anyone within a five mile radius to hear him.

Fortunately for the Spartan, the creature had dropped it over an outcropping ledge on the top of a mountain. The Spartan hit the ground head first and was knocked out instantly. After lying still for many moments, the Spartan picked himself up slowly.

"Man I'm awesome! I didn't plan for the static to scare the bird, but I was able to take advantage of the situation, and fight my way out of it's' grasp, and land as lightly as a feather on safe ground! Dang I'm good! AH! My back!"

The Spartan collapsed back to the ground hissing through his teeth, as pain shot up and down his back. The Spartan tried to reach his back in order to message it, but was blocked by his bulking armor. After spending a good deal of time trying to reach his back, and turning himself into a human pretzel, he was interrupted by a loud cracking sound. Spartan 1337 stopped and turned his head in the direction of the loud noise. He found himself face to face with a miniature version of the larger flying creature that had captured him. The two stared at each other for a moment. Before the bird like creature gave out a loud cry and lunged at the Spartan's helmet. The impact sent both combatants reeling as they swayed back and forth trying to regain their balance.

"All right you Bird Brain! If I can handle your mama I can certainly handle you! HIGH YA!"

The Spartan leaped into the air, executing a perfect karate kick…… That completely missed his target, and sent him flying over the edge of the nest, and the mountain top.

"I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Cortana have you been able to reestablish contact with Spartan 1337?"

"Negative not since he said he would be late to make contact with us."

The Chief nodded and turned to face the pilot.

"Keep searching the area."

"Yes sir."

"Chief? Do you think anything bad happened to him?"

"Knowing 1337? Yes."

"Was he always this… Unfortunate?"

"No. He's usually worse."

"Oh. Hey do you hear something?"

"Yeah I do. Can you tell what it is?"

"Sounds to me like someone screaming."

Their conversation was suddenly silenced by a loud thump on the roof of the pelican.

Spartan 1337 once again found his fall broken. Not taking any chances, He whipped out his assault rifle and began shooting at the large green object he found himself flying on top of.

"I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF YOU MONSTERS TRAYING TO EAT ME, KILL ME, OR DUMB ME OFF ON THE TOP OF SOME MONTAIN FOR YOUR BABY TO EAT ME!!!!! EAT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Chief! What is that?"

"I don't know but everyone keep your head down! Whoever it is it isn't Covenant, they don't use bullets. Or UNSC standard assault rifle bullets. Sigh. Cortana can you try and raise 13337 on the radio?"

"Yes I have him! I can patch you through!"

"Good do so!"

Spartan 1337 kept shooting until his clip ran out. As he reached for a new one, he heard his radio crackle.

"Spartan 1337 Come in over."

"This is 1337 can you hear me?"

"Yes. You need to stop shooting!"

"I say again can you hear me?"

"YES! Yes I can hear you!"

"Hello? Is anyone there? Dang I knew I should have switched over to Verizon. Hello?"

"YES! I CAN HEAR YOU!!!!!"

"Wow! Okay man! Shesh you don't have to yell!"

"You need to stop shooting you're…."

"I'm not going to stop shooting are you crazy? Everything I met is trying to kill me! I need you guys to get me out of here!"

"THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO!!!!!!!"

"By making me just throw away my weapons? I may as well jump of this, whatever this thing is."

"IT'S A PELICAN! YOU SHOUTING AT US!!!!!!!!"

"…..Oh. This isn't coming out of my pay is it?"
