Halo The Return: chapter 1

[ UNSC: Infinity stationed In UNSC territory,]

A lone Pelican flies and lands on the Flagship of the UNSC outbound fleet as well as the main active combat fleet the UNSC: Infinity in the pelican sitting off on the wall a Lone Spartan wearing a hybrid armor make up of a GEN1 Power armor Painted Black, however while the hub and internal systems were programmed for GEN2 MJOLNIR, the actual suit was actually GEN1 Mark V[B] gear, on the back of the Spartan was a DMR and pistol on his hip, as he thumbed a few Dog tags, as he moved the tag out of the way it read 'Jorge-052' as he flipped over another tag, it showed to read 'Kat-B320' along with Carter-A259 and Emile-A239, he sighed, suddenly the Pelican shifted as they dropped out of slipspace,

The lone Spartan got up and headed to the cockpit, "hey." The pilot said, "is that?" The Spartan said, "the UNSC Infinity, Flagship of the entire UNSC navy that's right son," the pilot said, " she's butifule." The Spartan Said, "So She is, I heard her keel is based off of the UNSC: Beacon of Hope. But you didn't hear that from me," he said as the Spartan glanced him a look, and found the pilot giving him a real cheeky look, "but I bet you could tell the difference." He said, he looked back to flying as the Spartan looked at the ship and at the controls, and slowly reached for his knife, "alright listen I know you, and you don't have to worry I won't tell a soul, because contrary to belief I actually like living, plus I heard Smottered by pillow isn't actually a good way to go." He said

"Oh it would t be to bad one quick slit can't be that bad, I'm almost a surgeon with this knife." The Spartan said clearly teasing, "touchië." The pilot said as he gave docking codes to land. "Pelican 379er to UNSC: Infinity permission to dock and unload back up in the form of Spartan fireteam-Crimson." He said when Roland the ship AI came online, " access granted, welcome aboard Fireteam Crimson good to have you with us." Roland said the pilot looked at the Spartan who just nodded. "He says he's happy to be here." He said as he clicked off the coms, and the pelican went to land,

The rear Door of the pelican dropped down as the lone Spartan walked out, and looked at the place, ' this is supposed to The the Flagship of the Navy looks like a booze hall.' He thought as he saw not even all the floorboards were in place yet, some still being lowered via Crane into position. As well as Sevral drunk Constructon workers chit chatting with some, other Spartan's well at least there combat ready at a moment's notice.' The Spartan noticed the helmet under the Supersoldiers arm 'she not,' he thought as he looked over to see a brunette Women wearing only the Black carbonate Fiber underlayer which the strong titanium plates attached to,

She took a step towards the Spartan, 'I feel like she will be my escort.' He thought, "at ease Soldier." The women said as she looked in the pelican as if to see that anyone else was in there. "Just me madam." The Spartan Said, " your fucking shitting me, 3 months we've been hounding for Reinforcement's and what do we get? a Lone Spartan and a fireteam of Kiss-Asses, you better be worth your weight in gold son because im not sweeping up your guts off of the bulkhead, the first time a mission goes south got it?" She asked "crystal." The Spartan nodded, "good," she smiled as she walked off "Welcome to Infinity."

[ Bridge]

The women and Fireteam Crimson entered the Bridge, as the captain spoke ordered "lay in An path to get us into Requiums orbit." He said " yes captain Lasky." A crew member said as he walked off with a data pad, Captain Lasky turned around and saw Spartan Sarah Palmer, and the new Fireteam Crimson, " Sarah...who is?" Lasky asked, "fire team Crimson." Sarah said as The Spartan took a step forward. "Sir!" The supersoldier snapped a salute, making Sarah chuckled slightly, and the rest of the crew felt nervous, "at ease Spartan." Lasky said. As He fell into mock parade stature, "Sarah you may go." Lasky Said "sir I thought we were to-?" Sarah started to argue when Lasky turned to her, "I'm pretty sure Spartan command needs your assistant on planing the incursion op of Requium." Lasky said, without, anger or remorse or even anything but kindness. Sarah Palmer nodded. "understood," as she walked off

Once the door shut Lasky stood up, "So...how do you like the ship. Must feel like home, ah but I expect the gravity must feel off slightly." Lasky Said in slight pity, "so you know who I am?" The Spartan said, " ONI felt it nessessary to brief us prior to your arrival, B312. Glad to say they did, love to have your skill." Lasky said making Crimson chuckle. 'Just like Carter' he said. Lasky stood up "you will find your quarters one floor down, situated two doors down to Spartan command, one floor above the Spartan hanger, and War-sim. Safe to say your in the center of action, in your room you will find a private connection to ONI HQ I expect they want a briefing of you knowing you made it safely aboard." Lasky Said. "You know how they are." S-B312 said, "all too well." Lasky said "sir if I may inquire how many more know of my being here?" S-B312 asked, " only those in this room." Lasky said as S-B312looked around and saw faces he recognized, S-B312 smiled under his helmet, "you got a good taste in Crew." He said " they served with the best, and lived to tell about it." Lasky said, the Spartan nodded, " best get down to the briefing room we should be at Requium on about 2-3 hours," Lasky said S-B312 nodded as he left the room, and headed to the briefing room in Spartan command.

Serria-B312 was the last to enter and for that reason didn't have a seat so he stood off to the side as the handlers gave off the mission details, when DeMarco of Majestic spoke, " hold up who is this?" He asked " he, Spartan DeMarco. Is Fireteam Crimson." Sarah said, "hold up are you saying that this one guy has to clear out the quarry with nothing of Fodder for backup. Are you insane?" The commander of Fireteam Castle asked. Seeing as all of you are new I gave you each relatively equal strength targets, so while Crimson will be going in alone. He will have backup, now if there are no more questions get suited up. We drop out of slip in 3 minutes." Sarah said as everyone stood up and walked out. Sierra-B312 watched them go, when Sarah put a hand on his shoulder, "hey I know I gave you a difficult job but I just want you to know I I trust you, to get this done, Lasky told me to assign you this role, and I trust his judgment, don't prove him wrong," sarah said, "no madam I won't" B312 said as he reached the Armory and grabbed his DMR and Assult rifle off the armory and sat on his Pelican, as it flew off of the hanger bay.

[ Requium]

Five pelican's fly over Quarry as The PA clicked on all open frequencies as Spartan command Sarah Palmer spoke.

CDR: Sarah PalmerCOM: "Spartan Sarah Palmer, Infinity Commander to all Army, Navy and Marine forces, you can relax. The Spartans are here."

Jared MillerCOM: "Spartan Miller to Fireteams Castle, Majestic, Domino, Ivy and Crimson, sending co-ordinates for your ops now. Crimson, I'll be your handler for today."

The five Pelicans split up and go to their separate missions. Fireteam Crimson's Pelican lands near some marines.

Crimson Looks out of the pelican, and looks to see the Marines dropped off nearby, he nods to them to greet them " you guys okay?" He asked they nodded and gave the thumbs up. "Alright command Fireteam Crimson is set ready to move," B312 Said to his coms,

MillerCOM: "Understood Crimson we're dropping you off behind enemy lines so that you can give the Marines a hand. You heard Commander Palmer at the briefing, we're here to knock some heads together."

B312 jumped over a pile of sandbags and landed with a roll pointing his DMR down the sight to see any possible Targets, as the Mariners pushed forward with the Warthog.

PalmerCOM: "Crimson, Commander Palmer. Your mission's not just about wreaking havok, fun though that may be. Miller, light up the targets for Crimson."

MillerCOM: "Already on it Commander."

Four Targets light up on Serria-B312's HUD. ' of course.' He thought. As he rolled away from a Marine driving off, as he heads off to the first core the one on the left.

PalmerCOM: "Those are Power Cores, intended for short range wireless distribution. Destroy them or the Covies will build bases and we'll have a hell of a time rooting them out."

MillerCOM: "There are Covenant vehicles available for acquisition "

B312 looks to see a Wrath just siting idly by. ' why don't mind if I do' B312 said as he hopped in and headed to the first target,

MillerCOM: "Nice Crimson, using the enemies own toys against them."

It didn't take Serria B312 long to run into some enemies the only problem was by the time they saw him if ever they were dead. As he turned his. wrath to look behind him he felt the ground shake, ' oh what the?' Serria-B312 asked as he looked over to see another Wrath aiming at him, " oh no you don't.' Serria-B312 Said as he trotted the boost of the wrath and made a head on collision of the two vehicles, which normally should only cause a fender bender. However Crimson-Lead left a little gift in The form of Two Empty Gernade pins,

The fireworks were lovely, as B312 rolled and popped a grunt in the head he rolled to dodge a hail fire of a Covie Storm rifle, as he hid behind the rocks he switched from his DMR to Assult Rifle and fired at the Elite. The Alien screamed as he died, and B312 didn't need a translator for that phrase he heard.

DaltonCOM: "Phantom inbound on Crimson's position."

' of course it is.' B312 sighed he looked to see the iconic Alien dropship dropping off troops from a bit of distance. Only to be peppered by Machine gun fire Serria-B312 looks back to see the mounted Marines smiling, B312 looked back. And rolled a stolen Plasma grenade to the first core, it exploded sending the core high into the air.

MillerCOM: "Commander, Crimson has completed the first objective."

PalmerCOM: "I don't need a second by second Miller, tell me once the other three are done."

Serria-B312 rolls his eyes and he runs down the ramp to the quarry he had to look over as he saw the structure of the UNSC outpost with Covenant B312 switches from his Assult rifle to DMR and finds a target in the form of a Covie elite, in command gear, "say your prayer hinged head." Crimson said as he squeezed the trigger and eliminated the commander and before the others could react B312 popped them as well as the few more Covenant tried to counter fire but couldn't get a clear angle on B312,

MillerCOM: "Be advised, we've got a Wraith closing in on your position."

B312 snaps a look over and sees the wrath boosting forward towards him, B312 gets up and jumps. At the right time to make the Wraith fly off the cliff and Down as it exploded, B312 makes his way to the next Generator and blows it up.

MillerCOM: "You're half way there Crimson"

B312 is forced to duck behind a rock as more Covenant with a second Wraith of reinforcement's pinned him down, Forcing Him to attack back, and kill sevral grunts however the Assult rifle couldn't damage the wraith fast enough to stop the message for reinforcements to be sent,

MillerCOM: "Crimson, be advised of enemy reinforcements."

' well I've stirred the hornets nest,' B312 Said as he looked up to see a droppod drop off more elites, with a commander, B312 tries to lean out and snipe the Eliet command who was trying to mobilize forces but he was pinned down by the Wraiths Plasma gunnfire, 'damn it' he cursed as he looked over and no scooped the grunt gunner, unfortunately the Elite general got away, ' fuck' he cursed as he noticed the elites stood infront of him Swords Drawn, B312 cracks his neck and puts his gun on his back and draws, his knife Finally B312 eliminates the reinforcements as he pinned down the last elite to the ground by stabbing him in the hand as he grabs the Energy sword and implies him in the chest leaving him to die, B312 sighed as the adrenaline weared off,

MillerCOM: "Crimson heads up, Phantom inbound."

B312 was heading up the ridge behind the UNSC outpost as he looked to see the phantom fly down and try to take him out via Machine guns B312 rolls and pops the gunner as the forces were dropped B312 fired sevral shots and popped them before they hit the ground, as they tried to assult his position B312 rid of them quickly as he got up,

B312 looks to see the remaining Covies around the Quarry Powercore B312 pulls out a detonator and pushed the button destroying the third power core which B312 has planted remote bombs with as he killed the forces around the core. He walked up no problem.

MillerCOM: "One more then you can dust off for home."

B312 walked over to where the final core was set up he saw the number of Covies I placed and even the number of vehicles around the area, fortunately he was in luck, he had a Wrath of his own, he climbed in and found the marines had actually survived the encounter, ' Damn built marine though I suppose." B312 said as one climbed into the gunner as They charged forward the others riding in warthog's. " warthogs distract the ground troops while I take out the core from range," he said, " Understood we will buy you the time you need." The Sargent said, as The teams broke off, the warthogs engaging the Ghosts and driving them away, as the gunner peppered off the remaining Grunts as B312 got a lucky shot and destroyed the power core in one go.

MillerCOM: "Final power core disabled commander."

PalmerCOM: "Affirmative Miller, Dalton scramble a ride home for Crimson."

DaltonCOM: "Pelican already on route Commander."

Two Phantoms appear with one carrying a Wraith.

The wraith drops and immediately fires blowing up the front Warthog killing all inside, "HANG ON!" B312 yelled as he floored it, the wraith blasted forward, the gunner firing at everything he could, " bail now." B312 snapped as the gunner hopped off as the Spartan slammed the two wraiths together as he hopped out self destructing his wraith, killing the other,

B312 looked up to see the gunner giving him the thumbs up, before he appered without a torso as he was run over by a wraith, B312 enraged blew the ghost up in one shot, as he stormed the hill where a machine gun fired at him to try to keep him off the hill.

PalmerCOM: "Eyes up you've got a Phantom coming your way."

B312 looked up to see a Phantom dropping off troops and extra gear, not that it would've helped them, as Six rips off the plasma canon from the stand and blasts them away,

MillerCOM: "Crimson, heads up more Covies arriving."

B312 spins around and the Plasma Cannon is Cut in two as B312 chucks the cut up gun into the crowd as it exploded killing a few aliens, as B312 Guns down thenothers with the assult rifle,

Unfortunately due to the sheer numbers of covies B312 was forced up the hill, and pinned, down allowing more reinforcements to arrive

MillerCOM: "Drop pods coming down near your position Crimson."

PalmerCOM: "There you go Crimson something to shoot, enjoy."

'aw my favorite present!' Serria-B312 thought as he popped a Grunt, followed by more and more, covies as the swarmed around him, but he Guned them down

MillerCOM: "Heads up Drop pods incoming."

B312 was shocked as he was getting tired, how long had he been there? What day was it? 'Wait a second what was that flash?' B312 looked up and a purple flash blinded him and for a second he was back in Azod fighting for his life on reach,

MillerCOM: muffled: "Drop pod incoming."

B312 wasn't paying attention at that time he was a machine he didn't even notice he was marching down the hill blasting covies left and right like the Hyper lethal Assassin he was until the explosion of a wraith right next to him sent him to the ground, He stood up and chucked a grenade into the wraith blowing it up,

PalmerCOM: "Beautiful Crimson." As she complemented the fireworks

DaltonCOM: "Miller, recon says Phantom inbound."

MillerCOM: "Reinforcements inbound Crimson."

B312 reloaded his weapons for what seemed to be the one millionth time today, as he looked to see another phantom flying over head loaded with troops, as he got to work

B312 relaxed When he counted there were only four more troops left.

MillerCOM: "Painting the last few targets for you now."

B312 sighed as he put his knife away After eliminating them.

MillerCOM: "Alright Crimson, your ride's inbound, fall back to the LZ. Commander Palmer, mission successful. Crimson's heading for home."

B312 heads back up the hill as the pelican flies above waiting for B312 to hop on,

PalmerCOM: "Already? Everyone else is still hip deep in bad guys. Impressive work Miller, congratulate the team."

B312 sits in the chair as the ship flies off to infinity.

MillerCOM: "Well Crimson, I've never heard Commander Palmer complement anyone before, so not a bad day at the office. See you back on Infinity."

B312 relaxes as he leans back and shuts his eyes after a busy day,

[ infinity,]

B312 got off the pelican and found Palmer waiting for him, "nice job Crimson, why don't you take some Time to relax." Sarah said "Don't mid If I do," B312 Said as he walked off, Sarah watched him go,

( War Game sim)

B312 stood in the middle of a black gridded room holding a DMR to a set of Cardbord targets as a timer clicked down, B312 reloaded his gun and fired at the last target hitting off center from the bullseye he cursed he knew he could've made that target easy, he looked at his hand to find it slightly shaking he sighed, when the door opened, "Time stopped." The computer said, B312 looked back to see Palmer standing behind him, " you know when I say rest and relax this isn't what I mean." Sarah said with a slight smile, B312 says nothing to Sarah only " Time!" B312 snapped as his score appered Sarah was floored. As his time was the highest on the record, with the card of Crimson-1 time of 1:05 the next highest was S-Palmer at, 1:35.

"Again!" B312 snapped as the cardboard cutoutappered, B312 edjected the loaded clip of DMR and reloaded a new clip. ' instant reload?' Palmer was gasped while her time was right behind Crimson she didn't reload off the bat, as she snapped back to focus as a bullet wizzed past her knocking into a target that was behind her, finally the buzzer signaled the end of the round, "time!" B312 said as his Time was shown. Palmer was floored, Crimson-1 time: 0:57.

" commander perhaps you can help me with something." He said, Sarah smiled "sure what can I do for you?" She asked "stand in the middle of the room please." He said as she stood still, "computer play hostage situation 1." He said Sarah nodded understanding what he had in mind, until he said one more phrase that made her blood chill. "Safety off."

Before Sarah could question a Energy sword appered under her neck as a heavy arm of a sanghilli was around her, as Crimson drew a pistol, absolute fear was set in her eyes. The Sagnhilli spoke, in rough English, "Your a fool demon, gambling with this women's life, such a fool." He said as he drew the blade closer Sarah flinched back. With her helmet on she was sure she would be able to break the wrist of the Elite and kill the bastard unfortunately seeing as she was caught off guard she left her helmet outside, and with the safety off if she was hurt here she would feel the actual damage, and if life threatening could kill her, Crimson was gambling with her life, she had to have absolute trust in him.

Unknown to her the elite grunted to a second elite who walked around the front going to impale Sarah seeing this she closed her eyes. 'fuck!' She cursed expecting the plasma energy sword to rip her armor, only instead she heard two pops as Sarah looks over to see the two Sandhills dead, Sarah growled "END PROGRAM!" She yelled as the simulation ended, Sarah stormed out, of there, angry as B312 walks out Captain Lasky followed by a hologram of Roland appered, "Roland told me what happened, are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine, I'm more worried about Palmer." B312 Said, as he looked at her stomp off, "well I go see if I can talk to her for now I would recommend some food try the far left corner of the dinning hall." Lasky said as he walked off,

Serria-B312 entered the dining hall, and found the rest of the Spartan's eating, he got his food and found the corner he was told about to find out why, 90% of it wasn't covered in light, he smerked as he sat down and took off his helmets he sighed as he felt the wind in his face again, even if it was simulated, he sighed as he was about to dig in to his potato hash whenhisnfork was shot out out his hands, B312 looked up to see Sarah Palmer with a magnum aimed at him, he lowered his hand as Sarah walked forward.

"Well quite the attention grabber," B312 Said, " yes well I wanted to make sure you were alert and see you jump like you did me." Sarah said, " look about that incident I'm sorry I should've informed you of my intentions," B312 said, "your right you damn well should've, you know if anyone else were to do that to me Id shoot them right here and now," Sarah said as after a few moments she put the gun down and unloaded it holding the clip. Full of dummy rounds. " I'll be back in a second." She smerked as she walked off to get her food, Behind the veil of shadow B312 smerked 'well played, commander well played.' He thought,
