Well here we go. This is my first story here so go easy on me. Rated T for now.
Alliances Chapter 1
Shawn awoke to the sounds of combat...
...and immediately ran to his armor. He was one of the last remaining Spartan IV agents still in the field. Shawn, however, was a 'special subject'. He was the first to go under the major genetic augmentations and survive the ordeal. The ONI spooks had his DNA spliced with a wolf's in an attempt to make him solitary and obedient, and yet stronger in his own right.
As he slipped into his specially made armor suited to fit his anthropomorphic structure, the suit made the link to his mind, adjusted to his liking, and started his AI named Marshal. Moving to his weapons closet, he grabbed his SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle that collapsed at the barrel, allowing for more storage room on his back, in which he stores 4 of each set of grenade, a small bag of C-4 and a detonator, and 2 Anti-Armor Mines. Shawn also takes 2 silenced SMGs and a silenced pistol and strap them to his thighs via the magnetic links. Finally, he takes his special order MA37 Assault Rifle, pushes a new clip in, and sprints out of the facility.

The first thing I saw was the green beam...
...of a scarab frying everything in sight. Moving quickly and observing the situation, it came obviously apparent that we had been caught off guard. Running about the melting metal and boiling plasma, I asked my AI about the consistency of the beam.
"Marshal! How long does the beam last now? I thought it only lasted for one burst!
"Response: It seems that the Sangheili have modified the capabilities of the gun quite a bit. Sensors show that the beam can shoot up to 10 times longer than the previous version in records."
"That Figures."
Just then I was forced to duck and roll as the beam hit our comms tower and sent it flying towards me.
"I'm going to make a break for it! Marshal, activate the camo!"
"Activating"
The Active Camo activated and I sprinted towards the trees. Quickly tossing my AR onto my back, I climbed a tree and jumped to a safer location a few meters down.
"'The base is in a secret location' my ass."
The scarab apparently was trying to go somewhere fast because it tore a gaping hole in the landscape, leaving a clear trail to where it was going.
"Marshal"
"Yes?"
"What is that mountain range called?"
"According to records that we have in memory, that range is called Mount Babylon."
With a confused look I tried to ask: "Why would anyone name a mounta..."
Marshal cut me off: "I have no clue"
"Whatever"
Noting that the nearest base was halfway across the planet, I opted to follow the scarab into the mountains.
Let me know what you think!
