Hey guys your neighborhood hitman EsDeath is making a new story once again. I know short amount of time from the creation of RWBY: A Presence of Evil. But this was nagging me so here it is. This one does not exactly tie into the halo lore. I made this before reading it, and this was something I never really wanted to change so it stays the way it is. For this one I am trying to write in third person so tell me what I did wrong cause there will be things I did wrong. So anyways onto the story. No hate please.
Sitting atop the scaffolds of the UNSC ship loading bays was a man. To any one person looking at him he wouldn't seem special but he was in fact one of the most important people on Earth. Born on Minab was a man named Mike. He was kidnapped in 2517 at the age of six by a woman claiming to be a "doctor," her name was Catherine Halsey. He along with seventy-five other children were all kidnapped that year, and were inducted into a special secret program run by the UNSC. The program was named the Spartan-II program. Mike was "accepted" into this program. He was an outcast during his life before Halsey, so once he was inducted into the Spartan-II program he simply accepted his role, and was one of the only people to willingly accept their new lives. For eight years he trained, and learned under the command of a man named Franklin Mendez. He quickly bonded with a woman named Linda-058, who was the same as Mike-043. They both had incredibly good vision, and both became snipers. They were very good friends, and eventually they met a man named Fredrick-104, and they were all thick as thieves. Mike-043 along with Linda-058, Fredrick-104, Kelly-087, and John-117 graduated the program as the top five Spartans from the program, and eventually became known as Blue Team. This lasted for many years, and they all went on many missions but this all ended on November 17, in the year 2552. During this year the covenant forces found Earth, and attacked on October 20, 2552, and lasted until Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 used a halo instillation called the Ark found on Earth to annihilate the ship forces John however was unlucky, and didn't manage to escape the blast, much to Blue Teams dismay. Blue Team coped in many different ways Linda-058, Kelly-087, and Fredrick-104 all continued doing missions. But Mike. Mike was different than the others. Mike would climb the scaffolds of the UNSC docking bays everyday, to wait for John's return. He had hope. Hope that John's luck would pull through, and bring him home. Well that brings us to the present story, shall we continue?
Mike sat atop the scaffolds of the UNSC docking bay in his normal position. He sat with his left leg hanging off the scaffold, and his right leg bent at a ninety-degree angle with his right arm resting on it. It has been five months since John-117 had disappeared, and now the UNSC had finished building a new warship. The UNSC Infinity. It would be launching tomorrow, or so Mike was told. 'Where are you John?' Mike asked himself looking at the sky laying down on his back closing his eyes. Mike was brought out of his reverie by a voice, a male voice from the bottom of the scaffolds. Looking down Mike saw a pudgy balding man in a UNSC military outfit.
"Um excuse me, sir, can you come down here please?" The man asked looking up at Mike. Silently Mike looked down before nodding climbing down the scaffolds.
Upon his black boots touching the ground Mike looked at the man calling to him. Mike appeared to be two feet taller making the man five-feet tall. Mike had medium length blond hair that covered his ears, He was wearing a red ODST shirt, and black jeans. "Uh yes what can I do for you?" Mike asked placing his right hand on the back of his head.
"I'm looking for a man known by the alias of Mike-043, do you know where he lives people say he is seen in this area, but alas I don't know what he looks like" The balding man said looking down defeated.
"Oh well I guess that makes you lucky, since I am Mike-043" Mike said smiling lightly scratching the back of his head. The pudgy man smiled widely showing his stained yellow teeth.
"That's great, well I am here to tell you that you have been requested by Thomas Lasky to lead a new Fireteam." He said looking over to the ship named Infinity.
"Oh no I'm sorry I'm not a leader hell most people don't know that the Master Chief actually led me at one point." Mike said scared lightly. "Look I'm no leader."
"Well then will you come aboard the Infinity at least." He said worry filling his voice. "My job is on the line the higher ups are unhappy with my work, I haven't gotten a single person recruited in over three months."
Sympathy filled Mike, and reluctantly he agreed. Sighing Mike answered him "Fine I'll come." And like that, he was a member of the UNSC Infinity's crew.
They launched later in March in the year 2553. Mike was exploring the giant ship one day in March he got lost, and wound up in a training room. Inside were three Spartans picking on a small woman. The woman was roughly 4"5' tall maybe a little taller, and had flame red hair. She was wearing a grey shirt with three cyan stripes running diagonally from her right shoulder to the left side of her hip. She was wearing black training pants with two white stripes running down the sides of her pant legs going from her hip to her ankles. She wasn't wearing any shoes, and had tape around her knuckles
"Hey what's up short stop want to hangout with us" One of the Spartans said grabbing her shoulder smiling evilly.
"Back off you pricks," She said her cute quite voice thick with a British accent.
"Now why should we do that?" He asked smiling evilly pulling her close, his friends circling around her. The Spartan holding her felt a hand grab his shoulder pulling him away before picking him up grabbing his shoulder, and his thigh. Mike had come into the room to defend the woman, he picked up the man grabbing her, and threw him into the training weights. The collision broke the Spartans neck killing him instantly.
"She asked you to leave her alone," Mike said as he stood straight up after he finished throwing the enemy Spartan. "So listen leave her alone" He finished looking at the two other Spartans over his shoulder his eyes filled with evil intent.
"What the hell do you think you're doing" One of the surviving Spartans said moving towards Mike. Mike faced his enemy, and stood towering above the man. Pulling back his fist the man went to strike Mike. With ease Mike grabbed the Spartans fist, and shattered it scowling at the man.
"I warned you once, now you die," Mike said angrily looking at the girl, "Just wait there this will be done quickly but be warned you're in the splash zone." Holding the Spartans shattered fist he pulled his right fist back, and pulled the Spartan towards Mike by his fist colliding the drawn back fist making it collide with the Spartans face pulling the Spartans arm, dislocating his arm knocking him to the ground. Mike stared evilly at the man on the ground, walking over to him. Mike picked up a barbell along the way, and walked over the man staring down with a killing intent. "Please die" Mike said walking away from the man stopping. Mike turned quickly, and threw the barbell into the mans head crushing his head against the ground causing blood to explode from the body.
"Holy hell what the hell are you doing?" The final Spartan asked terrified.
"Leave now, or die." Mike simply said his eyes burning with anger. Terrified the Spartan left running stumbling over his feet as he sprinted from the room. Sighing deeply Mike calmed down, and looked at the girl, "Sorry about that, are you okay?" He asked smiling.
"Y-yes thank you, oh my name is Mary, Mary Hayes" She introduced herself smiling.
"Hi I'm Mike, Mike-043" Mike replied shaking her hand.
"Mike-043?" Mary said placing her hand against her chin in a pondering state. "Oh the leader of the Fireteam I'm in"
Mike started blushing madly, and replied scratching the back of his head, "Uh yah that's me, the leader of your Fireteam" He finished as they both walked out of the training room.
So there you have it chapter one of The Crimson Fireteam. So the fireteam consists of four people so if you want to know who they are PM me. Well that's it for now goodnight guys.
