A Story written by Chris Dark

Author's comments: This story follows the views of a few marines, a few grunts, two hunters, two Yellow Elites, and the Master Chief himself as the U. N. S. C. invades the Covenant home world. This is my third big serious story, so go easy one me as far as the reviewing goes. This is basicly the Prolouge to it. I'm surrently making chapter 1. Now, let's begin.

They say 888 is a lucky number, I hope so. Today, on Independance Day, We are to land on the Covenant home planet. The plan is risky. See, the plan is that we're going to launch hundreds of escape pods all into one spot, bringing transport ships and fighters after them. Soem of us will be dropped in the water, others will have the risk of crashing into land. And the risk of heavy artillary. Plus Banshees. And Shades. And Ghosts. What I'm worried the most though is the Hunters. These Hunters are 12 feet tall, but in battle stance are about 8 feet tall. On their left arm is a Fuel Rod Cannons, and huge sheilds on their right arm. They can easily kill a human like a rhino can: They charge, and ram you with their shield. The impact enough snaps most people's backs. And that cannon can blow a hole in anything. Luckily though, they have huge weak points. They can only sprint fast for a little bit. And they have orangish-yellow spots that you can shoot with one miesly pistol shot, and it will put them down for good. The Covenant may over power us, but they have huge weak spots.

The men are either happy to be this close to ending the war, or scared out of their minds. The new rooks are thinking they're hot stuff... they'll be the first to loose their heads. The thought of the master Cheif joining them in the fight has enlightened the spirits of the squad, but spirit isn't going to be enough to save them now.

It only seems like yesterday when I joined the U. N. S. C. a young boy ready to do anything. I was one of the best that ever came by, they said. And now I have myself a battleship, the KNightFlyer. The men are roused and ready for he big battle. All the battleships are to give them support fire by shooting around them. unfourtunatly, If one of the pods goes of course... well, let's not think of that. The master chief and the AI conscript Cortana are on this ship, which has all the soldier's morale bigger than ever. I just hope that we won't be driven out...

Personal transcript from Master Chief

I decided to keep a transcript of this battle to show all those little kids that think war is "cool" and the "good guys" never die what really happens. The Marines actually have an easier job than me. I have to fly a Banshee into the main base at the area, and stage a 1-cyborg infiltration on it. Once I get to the core of the base, I have to plant some explosives by the power core, then the generator, and get the hell out of there before they explode, turning anything withen 100 miles into dust. Luckily the Marines are going to stay far away from that radius. Then I have to do that to the smaller bases, which will have no power, making it a little easier, and smaller generators, meaning half of the explosion of the main base. If this works, We'll be able to finish off the remaining forces, and start building there.
