As Master Chief walked off of the ship and onto Earth, he felt a prickling feeling on the back of his neck. He usually gets this feeling when something bad is going to happen. He walked into the command center and asked to speak to the commander.

"Sir, Master Chief reporting, Sir."

"Yeah, Yeah, what do YOU want?"

"When are we going to reinforce the buildings and act like the Covenant are coming?" As he finished this sentence, a plasma grenade busted through the window. Master Chief knew they only had three seconds to get out of the room or throw it back. He did the unthinkable and reached under the table. He grabbed the grenade and threw it out the shattered window.

"Why on Earth did you do that?" asked the commander.

"Do you believe me now that the Covenant are here?"

"Grab a gun and go fight them" The Chief did not take this lightly. He walked out of the room and headed to the weaponry room. As he passed the barracks, he yelled at the sleeping marines to get up and fight the Covenant. He entered the weaponry and gathered several grenades and two SMGs and extra ammo clips, and walked out the front door.

He saw a Covenant Phantom dropping off its troops and shot each grunt in the head as they plummeted toward Earth. The elites would take a little bit more firepower so he moved in closer taking cover behind parked cars. He noticed that there were several creatures that he had not encountered on his journey. One of these creatures was a bird-like Covenant. The Chief noticed that the little suckers were fairly easy to kill.

As he was watching the Covenant, he saw a hunter drop dead. He looked behind him and saw a team of marines. He also saw a Scorpion. Master Chief entered the Scorpion followed by the marines. After all were loaded on the large tank, The Chief steered them toward the city. He knew it would be under attack.

As they neared the city, Covenant resistance grew heavier and heavier. The marines were doing their best, but they were nearly out of ammo. If they ran out, all they had were the tank's guns. Banshees attempted to distract the Chief and the marines so that they would get boarded. Well the UNSC forces were to good to let that happen so they took out the golden-clad elite that was furiously bashing on the Chief's head.

"Next time pay more attention. I can worry about taking out the Banshee's. I have access to the guns too remember," stated the intelligent AI, Cortana.

"Mam, yes, Mam," yelled the marines.

"What, are you to good for me?" Cortana asked the Chief.

"Leave me alone. I'm driving," was his reply. They had reached the city and were now setting out on the main underground tunnel.

"I'm receiving reports of a giant "thing" that is causing much destruction. Our objective, take it out," Cortana told the marines and the Chief..
