Seamus awoke with a groan, he hear a loud rumble. He slowly lifted his head and saw a mountain range in the distance; he seemed to be moving closer to a military base.
"Nice of you to awake you lazy ass" A voice said to him coming from his rear. Seamus looked behind him and saw James, or commonly known as "Nova" On his Youtube Channel. Seamus looked at his fellow commentator with confusion.
"Where are we Nova? I remember going to sleep last night after a Podcast and now I was up near a military base" Seamus said as he looks down, suddenly seeing that he has a helmet in his lap, he flipped it around so the front faced him. When he did he gasped. It was the same helmet his character wore in Halo: Reach.
"This can't be real…" He said as he slipped the helmet on. Might as well go along with it for now.
"Of course it's real, I woke up about half an hour before you did" Nova said as he slipped his own helmet on as the Warthog they were riding in was nearing the military base. "Do you know how much your fat ass weighs in that armor? You're welcome by the way.
"Thanks jack ass" Seamus commented as he jumps out of the Warthog once the vehicle stopped. Nova shortly followed his lead.
"Just follow my lead, I played this game for a walkthrough when it came out" Seamus said thoughtfully.
Seamus' armor color consisted of a main primary color of blue, a sky blue color in fact, with a secondary color of bright red. It seemed that his colors were similar to his Minecraft skin.
Nova's armor color was simply dark blue, with white and black painted onto his helmet, simulating the eyes of the Cookie Monster. His Minecraft skin.
"Oh yeh? You don't think I've played this game?" Nova said cockily as he followed Seamus into the command building.
"Well…" Seamus trailed off as he heard the commander, Carter, converse with Colonel Holland. The CO of Noble team.
As Nova and Seamus began to advance into the building, a robotic arm stopped them.
"Commander" The woman the arm belonged to looked at the two Creatures, then Carter.
"You two must be Noble 6 and Noble 7," Carter said, examining the two SPARTANs. For some reason they seemed to lack a certain elegance that was associated with being a super soldier, but Carter waved it off as being nothing.
"Did you read their files?"
"Only the ones that weren't covered in black ink"
Seamus and Nova looked at the soldiers and both looked at each other and agreed, they felt out of place for sure.
"Must've been how the character in the game felt…" Thought Seamus after he let out a sigh.
As the two Creatures got acquainted with their squad mates, Noble team began to notice something…unprofessional about the pair.
"Hey," Emile said on a private comlink to Carter, "these two seem a bit out of place. Do you think they're really headhunters?"
"Now's not the time for questions Emile, we've got a mission to complete." Carter clicked off his COM, he had to admit though, It seemed rather odd that two elite, hyperlethal killers would be joking around, shoving each other, and even slugging each other in the arms. But, Carter had to admit, they did need the new pair.
"Are we there yet? I'm bored and there's nothing to do except stare at your ugly ass helmet" Nova said as he grumbled in frustration while staring into Emile's visor.
"Yea well yours ain't so pretty either numbnuts."
As the squad's falcon landed at the DZ, they hopped out, Seamus and James stuck close to each other as everyone made their way to the burning remains of what seems to be a vehicle. Seamus grimaced under his helmet, having played the game; he knew exactly what enemy did this.
"No explosive residue… could be plasma," Kat said as she examined the scorched ground
"No way, Covenant? On Reach?" Emile said, obviously in disbelief, he glanced at the new squad mates, James, or "Nova" as he liked to be called. And Seamus, weird name for a Spartan… Emile thought as he then turned to the burning wreck.
"It's a possibility, just not likely" Carter explained as he began running towards a pathway on a cliff. The rest of the squad followed him.
I've never felt so fast in my life… Seamus thought, feeling the sudden power coursing through his legs, he glanced at Nova; he imagined a surprised look in his helmet.
As the squad arrived at a building, they spotted one of the missing soldiers. Pinned to a wall, dead. Seamus and Nova gagged inside their helmets, causing Jorge to look at them as if they've never seen death.
"Yep, one of the missing soldiers, definitely plasma burns…" Kat examined the body, making her assumptions. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and what sounded like growling in the ceiling ducts. The entire team got into tactical positions, aiming their weapons at the ceiling.
"That didn't sound like any Rebels I know of…" As Emile said this, the motion sensors on the team's HUD's showed multiple red dots. As the team made their way to another building, Carter spotted a Skirmisher.
"Shit we got Covenant!" Carter fired a round from his DMR, firmly planting it into the head of the alien; suddenly the entire team came under fire from Grunts and two more Skirmishers. James and Seamus made their way down stairs to get away from the plasma fire.
"Screw that shit I'm a game commentator not a soldier!" Nova screamed as Seamus calmly picked up three grenades.
"I don't seem to mind. I beat the game before so I'm confident that with my leadership, and your douche-baggery, we'll get through this." Seamus replied as he fired a burst from his MA37 rifle. But the burst went wide, missing his intended target by five feet.
"Yea you piece of shit. You're not MLG right now ya know?" Nova replied, suddenly he fired a long burst from his own MA37; killing the grunt that Seamus intended to kill. Which earned him a glare from Seamus.
Seamus sighed and looked at the ammo counter on his HUD, yep; this was going to be a long day.
