Greetings readers of Fanfic.
If you have read the three Halo/Wall.E Fanfics I began working on just over a year ago, then you will know about Eve's part in the war against the Covenant. However, if you have read the end of 'The Ark' story and read the 'Those who fought and Battle of Reach trailer' Fanfic, then you will know that I have planned to put up two more stories about other taskforce members, soldiers and such of the UNSC marines and also two on Covenant soldiers.
Firstly, as in the trailer, we will start off with taskforce member Matthew. Enjoy!
Location: Reach task force barracks
Date: April 10th, 2552
The reach task force barracks was a large rectangular shaped room with bunk beds going down both sides of the room. At the end of the room on the left side was a single bed where a young woman about 6ft 4 tall, blue eyes and shoulder length white hair was sleeping. Her name was Eve. She was the leader of a special taskforce, whose members were scattered around the room, mostly in groups but there were a few on their own.
On one bunk bed near the entrance to the barracks was a young tall soldier with black hair, green eyes and was dressed in a red bodysuit. His name was Matthew. He was about twenty five years old and had been put into this taskforce about a month earlier by a UNSC officer. In his hand was a small letter which he was writing to his mother. He would send it off later, but right now he seemed to be in a trance, just staring at it as if he were mentally reading it to himself.
He sighed after a few moments and folded up the letter and put it in his chest pocket. Before coming here, he had been a soldier of the UNSC, and he had been friends with a squad of marines. He had fought alongside them against the enemy Mankind was fighting at the moment.
That enemy was the Covenant, a coalition of alien races, made up of Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Drones, Hunters, Brutes and led by three Prophets, who were determined to destroy humanity, and they had truly lived up to their goal in the past year. Already, almost all of the planets in the Niobe Aino system had been destroyed and mankind was virtually on the brink of being thrown back onto the defensive in their own solar system.
This planet, this taskforce. They were pretty much the only thing that was standing between the Covenant and the home system of mankind, and their home world, and what Matthew knew that was scaring him was that he was going on a mission to board a Covenant ship. Not that he was scared of fighting the Covenant, he had been in battle against them before, but never had he taken on a ship. It was practically suicidal, and the chances of him surviving were quite slim.
"No, Marcus, stop," a woman's voice said.
Matthew looked up and saw a young woman in a green bodysuit with brown hair and brown eyes stopping a heavily built soldier who looked about twenty five as well with black hair and blue eyes. He had a small scar on the side of his head from where a blast from a Covenant plasma rifle had struck him.
Matthew felt suspicious about this taskforce member. He and a group of others had been going out early and coming back late at night. He had the soldier what he and the group he was with had been up to but he told him he could not tell him. Matthew had barely any better luck by asking sergeant John, who told him they had doing a type of training for the upcoming mission.
Matthew sighed again and looked down at the floor. Constantly over the past few weeks he had been remembering everything that had happened in his past in his service in the UNSC. It had all affected him, right from the start to when he had to finally leave his comrades to join the taskforce.
Bringing his legs onto his bed and closing his eyes, he began to go reminisce those years being in the UNSC.

I would just like to note that 'Battle of Reach' will be up in a few days' time.
