a SPARTAN walked through a desert city looking around for blips on his screen two yellow and a red

appeared he ran toward it when one of the yellow blips disappeared he ran faster and turned to corner

as they other soldier was gunned down by a giant alien, the SPARTAN could only think "Elite" as he

ran and jumped into the air pulling out two SMGs landing on him shooting hundreds of bullets into him

then placing the SMGs back on his hips he turned to see a warthog.

"129, were leaving...this planet has no hope, The Covenant have glasses almost everything" spoke the

first marine, the SPARTAN looked back up to him and shook his head getting in the back of the Vehicle

"how much time do we have Marine?" the SPARTAN spoke in a very deep manly voice as he stared at

the road behind them the marine responded "not very long, they've made a Cross one coming from

each Direction, our orders are to return to The Sanada and Retreat into Slip Space." the SPARTAN was

angry under his Helmet but he tried not to show it and shook his head more, he looked back up and saw

Green Tents, they were home. As they approached a strong looking man approached them and saluted

the SPARTAN. "are we ready to get going Lieutenant?" 129 questioned, the man sighed and nodded

"yes Spartan, The Sanada is waiting for us." as he said that a Pelican arrived dropping down as 129 got

in he looked back at the once beautiful planet called Erina III.

As the Pelican arrived over the Intercom yelled a man "SPARTAN 129 TO THE BRIDGE NOW!" 129

sighed and began running the halls, on the bridge the same man looked at the Ships A.I. And Barked

another order "Rin, slip space now! We have to get away from the covenant now!" the A.I. Nodded

quickly and the ship began to enter slip space, about that time 129 run into the bridge with the Captain

staring at him "yes Captain Thomas?" the captain sighed and fell into his chair turning to look at the

Super soldier. "129, how many did we loose?" the SPARTAN looked at the floor and thought, "126

Captain..." the captain sighed even louder "At least we did our best...." he tried to smile but found he

really couldn't....then the female A.I. Spoke up, "Captain, where are we going?" the captain looked at

out of the corner of his eye and then closed them "Reach...." the A.I. Nodded again and closed her eyes

and smiled "done" she said and the captain nodded to her. "129, your on Vacation until we leave Slip

Space which will be in 3 days, try to get some sleep." the SPARTAN Nodded and went back downstairs

to the cafeteria. He met up with some Marines After getting rid of his armor in the armory. "what did he

want 129?" asked one of the marines he looked back up at him "to tell me I was on break for a few

days" the marine looked at the SPARTAN like he was stupid "were all on break..since when did he

need to tell us we were?" the table had a laugh and left lunch together, 129 left the group for his

quarters and went into a deep sleep on his nice cozy bed. As the ship flew of into the distance it was ready on the side UNSC Sanada and the Story of SPARTAN 129 begins....
