Author's note: So this is a way of showing one of the problems and how I call "kicking it off with some action".

Master Chief ran through the snow. The grunts were surprised when they saw the green shimmer. Chief quickly fired his battle rifle once. Each bullet hit the brains of the grunts. He continued sprinting passed the groups of Covenant. A sniper bullet was fired.

"Linda, defend my position." The Chief commanded.

"Affirmative."

Frederic threw Linda an Active Camo armor upgrade. She activated it.

"That lasts for 2 minutes." Frederic said.

A trio of elites ran at Chief ahead with energy swords. Chief kept running towards them. Linda fired at the right side (Chief's view) of the elites. The bullet went through the head of the elite and the bullet raced into the other elite's heads.

"Kelly, distract the covenant behind me. Fred, when they're distracted take out the jackals and the grunts. Linda, shoot the elites. Don't fire more than two bullets."

Behind Chief Kelly ran around and through the covenant group. Fred fired at the confused grunts and jackals. Kelly fired her shotgun at a Elite. Linda fired Norfang and one of the Elite's feet came off. A simple diversion. Some elites aided the Elite. Kelly ran past them and she dropped three plasma grenades and she ran away from the grenades.

Chief ran and found a Cliffside.

"Arbiter, we found the canyon." Chief said.

"Good, clear out a landing zone." Thel 'Vadam/The Arbiter said over the comms.

"Blue team. Eliminate hostiles. Defend my position."

"Affirmative." Kelly, Frederic, and Linda said at once.

Blue team walked into a smaller perimeter around Chief.

Thel's phantom flew over to Blue Team. Thel 'Vadam and a group of elite field marshells was inside.

"All hostiles eliminated." Kelly said over the comms.

The phantom landed. The doors opened. Thel inside of his Armor drew his Energy Sword: Prophets Bane.

The group of Elites walked out with him. Thel handed Chief a rocket launcher.

"I think you needed the firepower."

The rest of the elites handed Blue Team extra ammunition and more armor extensions.

"Thanks." Kelly said.

Down the cliff was a big canyon. Chief loaded his rifle and his Rocket Launcher.

"We should split up. Our sniper and Linda should stay up here. Other than that, we kill all of the covenant in the canyon."

"Boss…" Elite Yajil said. "I notice the lack of covenant. If this is Halo 09, than why is there almost no Covenant?"

"Because…" Elite Payeah started. "The Covenant is charging up the Halo. We're on the front lines. That's why we're lighting off that nuke in the dropship."

"So, we're going to bomb the crashed corvette ahead to slow them down?"

"Exactly.

"Ok…" Thel said. "Elites, charge up your shields so you're ready when we jump. Same for you Yajil. But go to the right canyon side."

"Linda, Go to the left canyon side. Blue team, get ready." Chief ordered.

Linda loaded Norfang and she jogged to the left canyon side.

"Well Chief, are you ready?" Thel asked.

"Of course."

"Like old times." Thel said. Chief didn't reply. He just nodded.

"Blue Team, Jump!"

"Elites, jump!

The teams jumped off of the cliff onto the ground below. Chief, Kelly, and Frederic used ground pound. Chief used his bubble shield. The covenant from below fired. The shield went around Chief and Thel's groups.

"Shield failing!" Chief yelled.

Thel looked at an elite under him. The shield went into Chief and they fell. Chief fired his rockets. Thel swung his sword at the elite. Thel's elites fired at The Covenant. Payeah aimed his fuel rod cannon. He fired at the skirmishers ahead. Fred fired at the grunts. Kelly loaded her shotgun and then fired at an elite.

"Chief, there is a wraith ahead!" Linda informed Chief.

"Kelly. The wraith is a primary target."

"Going now!"

Kelly ran towards the wraith. Fred fired at the turret. The elite fired at him. Kelly jumped on to the front. Fred shot the elite's head. The elite slumped over. Then Kelly pushed a grenade into the wraith. She then jumped off. The wraith went up in flames and the wraith blew up.

A group of Officer elites ran towards Payeah with Energy swords. Yajil fired his beam rifle at the elites. They all fell and went limp. All of the covenant was dead.

"Thel to Rejang, we cleared out the hostiles."

Chief looked around.

"Linda, look around and search for hostiles."

"Looking now."

"Linda…" Yajil said.

"What?" Linda asked.

"This isn't right."

"Why?"

"Look."

"I only see our teammates in the canyon."

"Exactly. When The phantom landed here there were at least a dozen spirits and phantoms behind us."

"Where are they now?"

"Exactly."

Linda was alert.

"Chief, look out for any spec-ops."

Linda looked through Norfang. She then looked at the remainder of her power up. It had three seconds left. Linda looked through Norfang again. There was a shimmer on one of the cliff sides.

"Yajil, I'm seeing shimmers."

"Same."

Chief armed the nuke. 3 minutes until detonation. She looked where the shimmer again.

"Next time you see a shimmer, shoot it."

Yajil looked through his beam rifle. He fired and a Spec-ops elite appeared and he fell.

"Blue team, engage!" Chief commanded.

Kelly aimed her shotgun. A spec-ops snuck up. Kelly saw it and she fired. Then a beeping noise came from the corpse.

"What is it?" Payeah asked.

Yajil heard a noise. He looked around. The source was to the right of him. Several spirits and phantoms came driving. Thel saw them. The ships started firing.

"Blue team. Rush towards the corvette."

That was no problem for Kelly. Thel and his group ran towards it to. Linda and Yajil ran towards the Corvette too. Chief and Thel stopped and turned around and fired at the covenant that was dropped from the spirits. Yajil jumped down from the top onto a elite from below. He fired at the incoming Covenant. Linda fired Norfang at an Elite. The bullet went through his head. The bullet deflected from the wall and into a hunter. The bullet deflected from the worms and the hunter fell.

Blue team and Thel's group reached the end of the cliff.

Chief grabbed the nuke.

A jackal aimed his beam rifle at Chief. He then fired at Chief's head. Kelly rushed in front of him. Her visor cracked and the bullet went in.

"Kelly!" Chief shouted.

Linda fired at the jackal. Norfang had one bullet left. Linda ground pounded near the groups. Two of the elites looked at the nuke's time. 14 seconds left. Payeah and the two elite grabbed the nuke and they climbed up and onto the edge of the cliff. 9, 8, 7. Linda looked forwards. An elite with a carbine aimed. Linda aimed at him. A grunt fired a plasma pistol at Linda. Linda stepped back and fired. The elite fired at her to. The elite and Linda fell. A few elites charged at Chief and Thel. They grabbed Linda and Kelly. Chief Spartan charged one. The nuke went off. Thel grabbed chief and he activated his bubble shield. The explosion went over the shield and everything became white.
