Halo:
A New Hope
I could feel my strength slowly draining. How long before my final breath? I didn't care. Swiftly I picked up my assault rifle, dragged myself to my feet and began to fire at the waves of covenant charging toward me. I grunted as an energy bullet from a plasma rifle penetrated a weak point in my armour and seared my flesh. Ignoring the pain I continued to fight until the onslaught of enemy aliens began to lessen just a little. To be honest I was scared, but my determination to serve my race overpowered my fear and drove me to keep on fighting. I couldn't flee⦠I was a Soldier. A lone Soldier, true, but a Soldier nonetheless and I had devoted half my life to becoming a great warrior just like the legendary noble team. I'd always had this dream of becoming a Spartan. My clip was soon emptied and I realised with horror that I'd run out of bullets. I now had to resort to stabbing my foes with a knife. The battle seemed to be endless and I was quickly losing blood. Finally I collapsed and gave in, dark spots already consuming my vision. The pain was almost too much to bear, but I gritted my teeth and waited.
I was ready to die.
