Thorns of Metal

A lot of things are stupid in life, a bit like thorns. So why make thorns of metal... what's the point... there isn't one.

Meet Newb, he is the new member of squad Br1012. His name isn't actually Newb, its Leon 247. He is a member of Armek 197's squad.

Leon joined the squad only last month. He was known as a good all-rounder but usually got into trouble the most.

He is a good headshot though...

This is the adventures and wars they have been in and fought through and uncovered some disastrous mysteries.

Joining the team was quite the hardship since one member of the squad died, so Newb is trying his best to fill the slot on the mission; they found Leon and took him with them.

CHAPTER 1- fire in the city

"197 come in, repeat 197, come in we are in need of urgent assistance! Please reply!"

"Responding, who is this?"

"Captain Ventus 245, I am in need of assistance in the city! There's a hell load of Covenant down here and they have wiped out another two members of the squad!"

"I can send a squad down but I'll be joining them."

"I'd be honoured to have you lead your squad *CRASH* aahh! I could do with some help sir"

"Right, I'm on my way".

The newly installed pod ship flew from out the back of the ship.

"Troy, get those weapons on the ship! Ready, we're probably going into heavy fire... as soon as we're near ground I want you to drop us straight in."

"Got it sir, do you have weapons ready, remember I'm on the radio so I'll be your birds eye view."

"We've got our weapons, just promise me one thing."

"What sir?"

Armek leans in to Troy and whispers to him, "When I say fire, you fire the new weapon, no questions asked."

"Sir we haven't tested that ye-"

"You'll do it on my command, Newb. You picked one hell of a day to sign up, lets move out!"

The engine doors open out with a ramp extending.

"Sir, what's that?" says one of Ventus' squad members as the ship descends out of the sky. Mongooses fly off the back on one. Armek and Newb are riding, armed with Battle rifles and shotguns, and on the other Mike alone armed with a Spartan, and a new type of marksman gun released to the UNSC.

Armek climbs off the back of the mongoose and fires two short bursts up from the BR (battle rifle) and shouts "Some one Call for help"
