Heya everyone! This is Spark n' Jetz here with another Halo fic, one done by both me and Admiral Rake Donsom. This is gonna be epic!
Admiral Rake Donsom-YEAH! And don't worry guys, I improved! ...I think.
Spark n' Jetz-Anyway, this takes a different turn to the normal Halo fic. After the rebuilding because of the Great War, the Spartans become 'personal assets', enforcers, and almost UNSC mistreats them, ONI experiments on them, and politicians and leaders use them as decorations, medals, and body guards.
Bitter with this turn of events, an army of Spartans tears out of the UNSC's grasp, creating an Insurgency and a revolt. Hundreds of other Spartans become free from the ONI spooks and leaders and join the cause of the Insurgency. Now, with the goal in every Spartans mind to stop the corrupt overpowered UNSC they once stood by, what are the plans to fix this galaxy?

Okay, so it was a bit dangerous. But we were Spartans. We went with it. Of course, that meant shooting a bunch of people, blowing stuff up, screaming after diving off a flaming pelican, running after and hijacking a Warthog, but once again, we went with it. But then again, no one mentioned that getting some god damn crystalline Forerunner Artifact had anything to do with an army of turrets and heavy vehicles. Plus, Mars just had to have a dust storm at the same time. But it this was expected. We were Spartan IVs.
"Holy shit!"Jay, the self-proclaimed best pilot in the galaxy and the one who is driving our vehicle, yells as the gauss gun in our path fires again, missing our front tires by a mere inch. It blew the martian dirt and dust into the grimy air, limiting our vision for a split second. Even if Mars have been terraformed and de-glassed a long time ago, the microscopic remains of rock still lingered on the planet surface. It looked like a red dessert with grass growing on it.
"Sawyer, blast that thing!" Eren yells from the shotgun seat, but she gets no response, as Jay tries to maneuver out of the guns range. Just our luck that we had to be chased by multiple vehicles, run away from an army and go around a crap lot of defense turrets, Answering my female teammate's call, I remove one of the strongest weapon ever built for infantry from my back.
"Lighting it up!"I yell, and turn my M8 Grendell/Relarian Linear Machine Cannon, at it. Essentially, a huge ass laser beam launcher thing, descendant of the M6 Grendell/Galilean Non-Linear Rifle. Don't ask me how it works. I wait for a few moments, letting it charge up, and then fire seven bright beams of focused electrons straight into the turret. Let's just say all that's left is a pile of burning smoldering wreckage. Hell. Friggin. Yes. I smile, knowing thats one more asset that they're gonna end up paying for. Ok, only the vehicles behind us left. I turn backwards and aim. Three more enemy Badgers up in flames. Yeah, babe!
"Where the hell is the Condor?"Alicia yells. Being located with me in the back of the warthog, she takes a shot and somehow killing two enemy drivers at once, while seriously injuring a third. I never understood how she did that, but damn she was good. Not the best at targeting, but the best at multi-killing with one bullet.
The 'Condor' she was talking about was the AFIV (advanced flight insertion vehicle). It's a small speedy drop ship vehicle that can quickly insert its payload into action, with the bay only being able to hold a fireteam at the most.
"It had trouble with the AA guns, but the pilot managed to get past them. It'll be at the LZ in 2 minutes!" Eren yells back as her comm gear did what it was suppose to be doing, answering Alicia's question. Most of us think that her giant antennae and huge radar dish was kind of idiotic to bring, but when it comes to communication, she can almost do ANYTHING. At least it highlighted her armored figure...
"What's the ETA, Jay?"I ask.
"At least five minutes. Those damn Badgers!"
Badgers are quick rugged tough little buggers, carrying two passengers and an M6 turret, packing a punch. Smaller than a Warthog, these things are just on evolution of the widely used jeep of the Great war.
Another six of them are on our tail, replacing the ones Alicia and I destroyed, all closing in fast. One fires, causing our vehicle to lurch. The other one turns slightly to the right, and starts firing at our sides. One shot disrupts the Earth below us and nearly causes the transport to shake. "Damnit!" Alicia yells, and brings out her Dragunov DMR.
"I don't think this is a good time for sniping!"I say. She shrugs, looks through the scope, and fires off a shot. Instantly, the one shooting at our tire flips forward, and I see the reason why. She shot the front tire, and with so much momentum it just flipped. Of course, been the awesome sniper she is, she is also able to somehow shoot the fuel tank of another Badger with the same bullet, blowing up two others. Only three left. Or, one now, after I destroyed the other vehicle with my laser, causing it to flip and slam into the one behind it.
The laststarts to trail farther behind, but it's not a problem for the gunner. Another shot is fired and it hits the bumper, and we're jolted forwards. Finally, the vehicle just stops, and we're forced to flee half a mile from the LZ. We leap out and dive for cover. Unfortunately, we're in the middle of a canyon. We hide behind the jeep, and I lob an unsuccessful grenade at the Badger. It simply moves a bit to it's left, and keeps firing, the grenade blowing up harmlessly. The vehicle that was once our cover bursts into flames and we scatter. The gunner turns its attention to Eren, but she's too fast, resulting in two scorched blast marks on the ground. Then again, that hardlight shield that she had blocked a few gauss rounds too.
The laser is charged, and I carefully aim at the Badger. But just as I was going to release the trigger, I hear Jay whooping. "Help has arrived!" In seconds, the Badger becomes a mess of melted parts, smashed together in a fiery shell of what once used to be a fearsome land vehicle.
The Condor swings down, and opens its bay doors. We jump in, and finally get to relax. But we aren't out of the woods yet. I hear the hum of engines, and link my suit cameras to the Condor, and switch to external view. Two Osprey type fighters, (nasty things) pursue us.
Those damn UNSC never give up. They might have created me, but they also kidnapped me and used us. I hear twin machine guns start to fire, and I can hear each shell thud into the armor of the Condor. Luckily, most of the shots miss. Which leads to its second barrage. But of course, Spartans never die.
"Hold on tight!"was the last thing I heard before the Condor gets blown to pieces.
Spark n' Jetz-And cut! I know it was a terrible ending, but I had to get this out. Maybe we'll edit this later. Read and review please! And for all the critics out there: We need you guys to tell us what to do better!
Commander Rake Donsom: Same thing, please!
