Before you read this quick story there is one thing you should know sniper rifle iz teh ROXORZZ!1! in Halo 2 Note: Spartans were seriously harmed in the making of this story.
A Sniper's Adventure Pt.1 The time, not important. The place, Coagulation. The why, capture the flag!
We occupied the blue base. Ahhhhh. Another CTF game what joy. I was soon brought back to reality by the harsh grating voice in my headset. "Charles! Grab the sniper rifle and go to the mountain cave we need you there"
"No problem," I said. Me being the designated sniper for our team I thought that this would be another routine job. I liked sniping, it was what I did, and I was good at it, and let me tell you there is nothin' like the crack of the rifle and watch your target do a back flip for you.
I went to the roof and grabbed the snipes and BR. I decides to see what the Red Base was up to so I engaged my x10 and took a peek "Hey Tom," I said, "The enemy is coming at us in a Hog' I need a few shots can I take em'?"
"Go ahead, and also cover Brian and me, we're taking the boulder route."
"Gotcha." The whole conversation took about 7 seconds. Then without a word I hopped on top of the teleporter, switched to my BR and fired at the enemy Hog's windshield. The 3 rounds cracked the glass then shattered it. The Hog' was getting closer and I realized that they were driving in a straight line, making my job a little easier. I switched to my sniper rifle, took aim and neatly disposed of their passenger's brains via the back of his head, splattering them on the gunners visor. The gunner opened fire at me with the LAAG. He was a lousy shot. "Newb," I thought to myself as he quickly met the same fate as the passenger. I was just about to deal with the driver when a rocket swooshed from right next to me and blew up the Hog' and the driver. "Hey," I said with some fake discontentment in my voice, "You stole my kill John"
"Couldn't let you have all the fun, now could I," said the teams best rocketeer and jokester.
"Anyway," I said as I made my way towards the cave, "Thanks for helping me save ammo, never know when your gonna need it"
"No jo-," he was cut off. "What were you saying," I said as I turned around to find him on his back lying in a pool of blood. "Crap, Charles they got a sniper, he's in the trees, take cover!" The warning came too late as a round impacted on my chest, the another in my thigh, while the third round flew right by my head, thanks to my crouching. I quickly dove for the rockets covered in my friends blood, knowing that the other sniper had to reload, and took cover again. I waited for my shields to recharge, then jumped up from my hiding place and fired a rocket knowing that that would freak him out, revealing his position to me. I was right he saw the rocket and ran right out into the open. I was ready and waiting with my sniper rifle. About 1 second later the amateur sniper did a cartwheel landing on his head in a way that if he were still alive it would have snapped all the vertebrae in his neck. There was only two rockets left do I decided to fire them both at where I thought there vehicles would be parked, then grabbed the BR.
I finally made my way to the cave and set up shop. It was a pretty routine game after that, a headshot here, a headshot there. We were tied 3 to 3 with about 5 minutes left. Suddenly I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye. I whirled around only to find a over shielded spartan in my face with 2 magnums. I jumped back as he opened fire. I continued to zigzag backwards and suddenly picked up 3 plasma grenades as my shields were just about to fail, so I primed one and stuck him, he freaked out took one last shot at me, and I took cover behind the outside corner of the cave. It soon exploded with a satisfying blue flash. I walked back to find him, surprisingly, still standing and very much alive.
Well that's it, my first Halo Fic, (Hears complaining all around) Okay, okay I know its a cliffhanger, so WAIT! Next Chapter coming soon. Snipers/Campers Unite! P.S. I would like some reviews. Oh and also if you didn't know LAAG is the machine gun turret on a warthog.
