Chapter 1: It's Just the Start of It

The Master Chief was walking around one of the many landing bays found on this Forerunner ship. He was examining his surroundings while checking his ammo. He had 3 BR55 clips, and an Energy Sword with a 79 percent charge, with another power cell. He then started to make his way throught the only open door, and he found that there was a Brute patrol on on the other end of the hallway that was just leaving the area.

Chief then shot 2 bursts from his BR55 and killed 3 of them. The remaining Brute and the Brute Captain were still alive, slowly registered in their minds that their comrads had just died. As soon as they had realized that some of their squad had died however, they were cut down by the Chiefs 3rd shot. He then looked out of the window and saw that the battle for Earth was still commencing after 2 days straight.

"Ahh shit! Status report, Templar!" said Lord Hood

"we have had 23 percent damage sir, I am firing at will, we have 241 MAC rounds left, and I have gotten 19 kills" said Templar, the platforms A.I.

"Templar, bring me up a fleet wide transmission. Tell whichever ships that are not engaged in battle to target that one that is firing at us" said Hood

"Yes sir, message sent." The Cairo's bridge had just shook from another shot from the Super MAC Gun. Soon the targeted ship would be shot down, and it would confuse the enemy more then they thought.

Grapner, the weapons officer, said "Ship Master Pogrin, we have 13 of the human's weapons bearing down on us and ready to fire, and we only have..." Grapner looked at the status screen for a moment "...41 percent of our shields left!"

"We have no way to win this fight, we must set a course with the nearest Human ship, and ram it, also fire all weapons at a set of targets, I don't care what it is" Ship Master Pogrin said. Pogrin thought "without the Sangheili here, it makes our space battles that much more difficult, however, they have all become Heretics to the Prophets eyes, surely they have their reasons, but we Jiralhanea are suited for ground combat"

Soon the Fury of the Gods would be destroyed under the mass of the Human's weapons, and there was nothing that they could do about it.

"Change course to bearing 078, and fire when in range" said the Captain of the Hindenburgh.

"Yes sir" said the weapons officer, because they're ship was just recently built, they do not have an A.I. yet. This happened with 11 other ships and the Cairo, who are attacking the commanding ship of the fleet they are against.

"Sir! Incoming Seraphs, I count 6." said navigations officer Lieutenant Valais.

The Captain said "launch 8 Longswords and hurry up with taking down that boat!"

A chorus of 'aye ayes' were sounded throughout the bridge as the inexperienced crew maintained to their duties. They all heard a loud thump on the bridge, signifying that they had fired their own shot out of 12 more to hit it.

Master Chief shook his head and sighed. He had not been able to get any rest since about the day before the award ceremony aboard the Cairo. But luckily, he and his other Spartans were trained to last a week without rest.

He had run into 4 other Brute patrols, and he had expended most of his ammunition by now. He counted his munitions, he had 12 rounds in his BR55, and 1 clip left over, and he had already used most of the first power sell for his Energy Sword, he checked it and found out that there was only a 7 percent charge left. He quickly switched the power cores and continued down the hall, without Cortana, he did not know the layout of this ship, and nore could he be able to tell if he was near Truth, in fact, he might have passed him. But do to the fact that there are increasingly more and more patrols, he was able to figure out that he was not far.

A/N: I hope that you like it so far! I will continue on my story when I can, which is alot, because my school does not have alot of stuff to prepare for finals! WOOT. Anyways, the Hindenburgh will be used in future chapters, as you can tell its new, it has all of the up to date armaments besides some of the covenant MAPC guns. But whether you like it or not, I will continue to post up chapters.
