Sergeant Hosegood leaned against his Warthog and looked at the desert around him and the other Marines. He remembered as a child and teenager reading his great great great great grandfathers story from just over 500 years ago when Marines were in this desert over something called oil... the war was aginst other people that barely had any advances in technolegy while the Marines had it all.
Now Hosegood stood at where his ancestor probably stood all those years ago in a war that he said ''no one understood''. Hosegood looked up and saw drone fighter jets scream over head in the direction that they were supposed to be going. He looked down to the front wheel of the Warthog and saw Corporal Sanderson sitting against it his helmet off.
''Damn its hot out here..'' he complained before drinking water out of a canteen
''Not that bad.'' Hosegood said looking out to the distance seeing the heat waves rise.
''You only say that because youve been brain washed by a primitive warriors tale'' Sanderson joked
''Youd have to read it to understand Corporal.'' Hosegood said before reaching down and picking up his assault rifle and putting it on his back.
''I dont need to read some ancient Jarhead's story of how they fought with some primitive tech.'' He pats the warthog's tire.
Sanderson gets up and puts his helmet on, his glasses attached to the helmet darkening to dull the glare of the sun on the sand ''Look at it this way Sarg. Maybe we'll fing some scrap metal of what they used back in the day.'' he said putting his rifle on his back and climbing into the turret spot of the Warthog. ''Dont know about you, but im ready to get some.''
Hosegood stretched before hearing his com in his helmet crackle. ''All UNSC ground units this is Captain Mattis of the Florida cruiser. You are to proceed north and secure Kabul for ODST reinforcements, out.''
Hosegood climbed into the Warthog driver seat as Staff Sergeant Lovell got in the Passenger seat. ''Ah great...'' he sighed. ''ODST troopers... cocky mother fuckers...'' he then cocked his assault rifle and held it against his chest.
ODST.... Hosegood heard about a team of ODST's in New Mombassa a few months ago while browsing UNSC News events on his Helmets lens display. He thought it was kind of strange how slow the covanet were moving north but he liked it this way... it increases chances to stop the Purple bastards once and for all.
The convoy started moving north towards Kabul in the gruelling heat with Warthogs and Scorpions not knowing if the Covenat were going to be there or not but if they are they would show them that this planet isnt theres to take.
This is the opening chapter, short i know but its supposed to be. An opener. tell me what you think. and those of you reading my anime fics, im writing it in a book to get it right.
