Greetings, readers! 'Tis I, the great and most handsome James! Sorry I haven't written in a while… hope you enjoy this tale…tale? Story. Story? That doesn't sound right…oh well. Enjoy!
This is a story about seven Spartans. Well, they weren't Spartans exactly; they were much, much better…cuz I'm one of 'em!
They were sitting in a Pelican when Se7en shouted, "Alright, team! It's now or never! Let's go!" They all dove out of the Pelican and landed on a Phantom. S1x was piloting the Pelican, so, naturally, she stayed behind. 5ive stayed with her. The rest of the Numb3rs jumped off the Phantom and landed on a Vampire. From there, they ran along it and jumped onto a mountain and slid down it. They slid to a stop to be greeted by a Warthog and a Mongoose.
F0ur immediately jumped on the machine gun on the back of the 'Hog. 0ne got in the passenger seat and Tw0 in the driver's seat. Se7en got on the driver's seat of the Mongoose and Thr33 on the back. They all drove off towards a massive building.
"Banshees on our six!" Thr33 shouted out.
F0ur turned the turret around and opened fire. The bullets hit one of them, and it crashed to the ground in a fiery explosion.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Thr33 and F0ur yelled in amazement.
"There's still another one," Se7en said. "If you don't mind."
F0ur aimed the turret at the second Banshee and fired. The bullets hit one of its wings and it lost control. It started wavering back and forth before turning on its turbo and charging towards 6ix and F1ve's Pelican. Se7en pulled out a DMR and shot an explosive round into the Banshee once in the other wing, causing it to lose control completely and dropping to the ground with a massive explosion.
Thr33 cheered again before Se7en nudged him with his elbow, making him wobble a bit and scream. He quickly grabbed onto Se7en's shoulder and pulled himself back up. "Jerk," Thr33 said in annoyance.
"Moron," Se7en replied. Tw0 chuckled to himself.
They arrived at the massive building, got out of they're vehicles, and entered the building.
Twenty-one years earlier…
"OW!" James cried out. "OW OW OW!" James tried pulling the massive spike out of his foot, but it was much too painful.
"What's wrong?" Dr. Halsey asked from behind him. James tried to hide his tear-filled eyes. "What's the matter?" James said nothing. Dr. Halsey knelt down next to him. "I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong." James still said nothing. Dr. Halsey pulled a soda can out of her satchel and opened it. James immediately looked over at the recently opened can. Halsey smiled. "If you tell me what's wrong, I'll give you a sip." James was intrigued. He showed her the spike jutting out of his foot. Halsey chuckled. She yanked out the splinter. "It's just a splinter." James raised an eyebrow in confusion. It seemed bigger when it was lodged in his foot.
"Hey, James!" Luke called out from the doorway that led to the eating room. "Lunch!"
Halsey looked at James. "Go on," she said. James looked into her eyes. "You don't want to be left behind." James nodded and ran to Luke. When James looked back at Halsey, she was just sitting there, smiling.
