Solatorobo and Halo fanfic
Prologue
In a dimly lit room aboard a station high above a planet there are a number of ODST getting ready to drop in Battle raging down on the planet. The term ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, these guys are drop straight from orbital and into battle, they are drop in HEVs, Human Entry Vehicle, now they know the risks they aren't called helljumpers for a reason as they jump feet first into hell and neither are their HEVs referred to as tombs by the ODSTs as sometimes the force of a landing is enough to kill them and their pod becomes their tomb. The Squad is known as Alpha-9 and they have had loads of combat experience from fighting in the streets of New Mombasa during the Human-Covenant war.
One of these members was the Rookie a Strong silent ODST that spent most of his time sleeping during briefing or when he wasn't doing operations. Despite looking like he wouldn't make a good ODST he has managed to get out of tricky situations. He might be called the Rookie but in all honesty he is far from being a Rookie. The Other members consistent of the squad leader Buck, 'ONI's Veronica Dare, Demolition expert Dutch, Heavy weapons and the squad's unofficial pilot Micky and the squads snapshot Romeo.
Alpha 9 was preparing for a drop on a Covenant Carrier similar to what they did In New Mombasa, of course some of the squad couldn't help but give a few remarks. "We're assaulting a carrier again? Gunny I don't need to remind you what happened the last time we tried to assault a covenant carrier in didn't end very well and we ended up getting scattered."
"Romeo I know you like talking about Karma but it is our job as ODST to do operations that no soldier would want to do" Replied Buck
"Does that include a Spartan?" replied Romeo sarcastically
"Romeo… Shut up" replied Buck used to the ODST backhand remarks
"Well at least I'm listing. Rookie over there is busy sleeping away like a buttercup." The Rookie was sleeping in his drop pod while the squad was going through the briefing on the current situation.
"That may be but the Rookie can do something that you can't and that is to shut up and remain quite. Replied Buck sternly. It was at this point that Romeo realised in would be much better if he shut up now. It was at this moment that the ship they were on the A.I of the ship announced over the radio.
"Alpha-9 get to your pods, I repeat Alpha-9 get to your pods." And with that said everyone went to the weapon lockers and took their weapons of choice everyone except the Rookie who was still busy sleeping in his pod. Romeo took this as an opportunity to give the Rookie a rude awakening. He then proceeding to hit the Rookie with the Butt end of a sniper rifle, with a grunt the Rookie got up. Romeo looked at him while grinning.
"Wake up buttercup". He said, it was at this point that Dutch smacked him out of the way, while holding a sniper rifle.
"Relax Rookie, he don't mean nothing, besides… now's one of those times, in pays to be the strong silent type". Dutch then Hands Rookie a M7S Silence SMG. The Rookie then takes the SMG from Dutch and places it inside of his pod. Then the door of his pod closed shut and span around till it was facing the other direction, then Buck came on one of the display screens located on the front-left of the pod while veronica appeared on the front-left of the pod.
"Troopers we are green and very, very mean." Said Buck over the radio to his fellow ODSTs. After Buck had said that, a countdown begun and the ODST pods began dropping in order from Forward-to-back. The Rookie braced himself for the force of the launch, when his pod was launched; he lurched forward a tiny bit but then straightens out as the force began to decrease, until he is sitting correctly in his pod again as his pod descends through the atmosphere and into the cloud layer.
"Well he we are again dropping down on a covenant carrier, what could possibly go wrong." Romeo replied sarcastically over the radio.
"Romeo remember that time I ordered you to shut your mouth over New Mombasa"? Replied Buck
"Yeah?" Signed Romeo knowing where this is going
"Well that order is now in force… again" Buck said sternly. The ODST pods had broken through the clouds and the form of a covenant carrier was now in sight hovering above and white and snowy landscape. Until the Rookie notice that there was a distortion happening in his pod. "Rookie I'm losing connection with your pod… It's… like…you're brea-. That was all the Rookie heard as he saw a flash of white.
A/N Yeah about half way through it I just decided to repeat the opening of Halo 3 ODST 'Prepare to drop' as I got bored and my motivation died I may change this around and extend this depending on how it goes.
Another thing not I'm not good on interpreting characters on how they actually act so… bear with me and I apologise if my English is bad.
