Be you, Be a monkey
(Yo! Just want to say this is my first real Halo fiction. I had this idea since I am one and I thought what would happen if this happened and here is where I put my story, I hope you like it.)
"So, the teacher was talking about how there's a God and how he believes he's gonna save us, while Dj was like, Yo man, I'm gonna pop a cap in this crackers ass and I was like sure" Alex Crave said
It was evening in Mexico and four teens were hanging out around the alleyways. The one who was talking was Alex Crave a teen with black hair and blue eyes with a moderate build, his friends called him switch.
"That motherfucker didn't know what he was on about" Daren Jones said Daren Jones was black with dark brown hair and yellow eyes. His friends called him DJ
"DJ, you can't just say that, remember when the principle busted you" Silvia Rose said, Silvia had short blonde hair, blue eyes and had a slim figure with a decent bust. Her friends called her Kit
" It was classic, it was the first time DJ was talking real English" Raven Dirge said Raven Dirge had short black hair with silver highlights and had green eyes. His friends called him sly
This was the group who were the sneaks, pranksters and thieves of Texas and their school. However this would only last until tomorrow mourning, they were going to do their service for the world and join the fight.
Raven was the unofficial leader of their group and was the one who had the idea of joining. In his minds eye he was shooting for his fathers rank of Captain before he passed away in the fight between the Covenant on Reach.
Raven's mother disagreed with his goal and so did the other parents. They were to late though, the forms were signed and sent off. They were off to the US and were enlisted to a ship called aura tempest Named after the smart A.I Aura.
Tonight was their last night of peace before they rested for the big day.
"So, it's eight…I think I may go home for my dinner, last great meal…probably for my life" Switch said
"Ah, Don't worry Switch, gunpowder will only make you stupid and high" kit said
"Holla" DJ inputted making everyone laugh.
"Ah! I'm off, see ya bitches" Switch said walking off towards his home down the street
"Me, too" Kit said leaving
"bye!" Raven said
DJ lit one up and took a long drag before exhaling it all out.
"Yo, Ravie, I'm gonna go have some chicken at my place, my mum says your welcome" DJ spoke non-gangsta
"nah, I'll stay out a bit longer…I don't want to see anyone yet" Raven said
DJ shrugged and walked off.
Raven stood and watched as he walked off before he focused on the clouds. He wasn't staring at them, hell, he wasn't even in his body anymore, he was past the clouds and watching the fighting going on between covenant and human armadas. he watched as the captain of the ship ordered for evacuation all too late as a plasma torpedo destroyed the bridge and the crew the captain, however, was an unknown factor even though he should be dead, yet, it seemed like, no, felt like the captain survived.
Raven was back in his body and the sky was black with stars painted and placed on space like gems. He stood with a emotionless expression all the while thinking of multiple deaths of that captain and all the while never finding the real one. The letters MIA could do that to people.
Raven through away such concerns and walked home. He reached his house at 22:36 and opened the door. He walked through the house and opened the fridge and found an instant curry with a note saying
I love you
Mum
He sighed and picked up the packet, he walked to the microwave and shoved it in and awaited for the timer to run out and the cling to come. After 5 minutes the bell went off and Raven pulled out his meal. He grabbed a fork and started to munch it down.
He finished and threw the packet in the bin. He walked to the stairs where there was a railing of wood, he smiled in memory.
One more time old friend
He asked the old wood. He smirked, ran up, put his hands on the railing and used it to propel him upwards and he flipped over the railing, he kicked off the wall and then used his other leg to kick off the landing railing then off the wall again over the second floor railing and roll into his room, perform a roll jump towards the head of his bed. He used the point (the parts that stick out from both ends of the bed) from one side of the bed rest to swing himself into his bed and perfectly under the sheets. He kicked off his shoes and closed his eyes. The one thought before he went to sleep was of that captain.
Next day
Raven and his three friends were in their gear and had bags on their shoulders and were on the train to the US America. They were all silent as they considered what it would be like.
A little while later they arrived at a station were there were coaches ready to take more recruits in and take them to the main base. They got a few seats at the back and DJ broke some guys nose because he wouldn't move. The drive was horribly silent and some bastard started to play Fort minor where'd you go as if they weren't feeling bad enough.
It was a few hours of waiting while the same guy kept repeating that same song. They got to the base and boy was it big. Hundreds of men and Women were moving about ready for the next launch of another ship.
They pulled up and got out. Everyone was edgy especially as a new casualty of war went past on a stretcher with a broken phone that read where'd you go.
A sergeant major walked up and everyone formed a line and went into attention. The high ranking sergeant major stood hands behind his back.
He stood as a women came up with a piece of paper and several others came with the same.
"Once I call out your name, please make your way to your designated posts!" The women shouted
The officer and her assistants started to read out names and everyone was on edge.
"Alex Crave, Raven Dirge, Daren Jones, Silvia Rose, Eric Ray-"
"Holy shit, were together" Silvia said
Raven glared at her and she quickly shut up.
"Okay, that is all, quickly go to your designated areas and wait for your call." the women said before moving on to another group.
Everyone moved off towards their areas marked by a small white board. They sat down around there along with about 200 others and loud talk soon flowed through out the area and lightened up the mood.
"So, do you think your prepared for the big take off. Neil Armstrong you got nothing on me" Alex said
"Switch, remember when you thought that whole landing on the moon thing was conspiracy" Silvia said
"yeah, and I said everyone was high and toking it up when they were doing the test like a bunch of dopers" DJ said
"Well, I was young and stupid" Switch tried to defend
"It was only a year ago, you were 17" Silvia said with laugh
Alex sighed
"hey guys, I'm going sleep, wake me when we go" Raven said
"Copy that" Alex said with a stupid salute.
Raven soon drifted off and in his dreams he saw an elite with a plasma blade server the captain in half.
"Raven!" The man screamed
It kept repeating until he was jolted awake with a kick in the head. He looked up to see hundreds of people running to the ship that had pipes attached to it and ready to go.
"Yo, fool, get the fuck up, were leaving" DJ shouted
Raven picked up his stuff and ran towards the ship, closer inspection showed it was a Halcyons class and shit was it big. He ran up to the doors and went straight through, he wasn't worried about DJ because DJ knew the route better than him. He reached a elevator and ran in with 15 others.
"Floor?" someone at the front shouted
"3"
"5"
"2!2!"
"basement!"
The person pressed one after the other before giving up and slamming on all the buttons. It took a while but he managed to get to his position and one of the best. He looked up as he read the sign.
Armoury
He ran in to find his friends and some how DJ as well along with 16 others.
"Attention all personnel please belt up the ship will lift off in three minutes" the A.IAura said
Everyone strapped into the seats on both sides of the armoury.
"hey, Raven, bet you twenty, you will throw up!" Switch shouted over the rumble of the ship
"Your on!" he shouted back.
They all could feel the vibrations tremble through there bodies and feel the pressure change as they started to raise, The engines grew stronger and then they felt the ship start to move. Someone popped and spewed all around them.
The ship readied as it was about to boost it out of there. Raven decided to start the screaming. He roared as loud as he could and others joined in.
"You can't beat me mother fucker!" Alex said staring at Raven
"Bring it bitch! Yeah!" Raven screamed back
At this everyone was screaming with enforced morale some were even crying. Then they jerked violently and soon the feeling of being out of pressure or in a different kind hit them.
Silvia released herself from her holdings and fell to the floor panting she looked up at Alex and Raven and DJ came over. The two men were zoned out and focusing on something out.
"Come on Raven, don't fucking lose it" DJ shouted
"Come on Switch!" Silvia called out.
This carried on with an extra 30 people watching and cheering Alex and Raven. Alex couldn't hold it and threw up this mornings breakfast Raven followed suit but had a smile on his face.
Silvia handed them both a handkerchief and they wiped their mouths.
"Pay up" Raven said with a big grin
Alex groaned and fished out 20 and slapped it onto Raven's hand.
"Next time, next time" Alex said
