Hello everybody, this is afewbrickshortofaload. This is my first fanfic, so please be kind. Or don't. I truly couldn't care less. This is a oneshot that came to me when I was looking at the Halopedia. Enjoy.
John's head whipped to the side when he heard a sharp CRACK! To his left. He pointed the magnum, loaded with hardend rubber pellets, at the source of the noise. Before he could fire, Kelly whispered "Stop! It just me." John relaxed at this. "I thought you were green team." Kelly smirked at that. "No. They got wipped by D.I.s ten miles to the west." John grinned fiercly. Only two members of red team and blue team was victorious. It would be nice to get to eat. Green and red teams wouldn't be. He let out a sharp whistle and called in the rest of blue team. Linda and Sam slinked out of the bushes behind him. He made the hand signals to tell them to follow him, and walked through the trees to the east. They were hungry, and he knew there were some bushes of blackberries on the edge of a cliff to the west. When the reached the cliff, the sun was just beginning to rise. There were five or six bushes, right on the edge. They picked some and sat down, relaxing against rocks and watching the sun rise. It was a quiet, medatative moment.
DR Halsey observed from the cloaked blind she was in. She had insisted on seeing what the training was like for her SPARTANs, and Mendez had been willing to bring her along. He and three other snipers were in the blind with her, their rifles, loaded with pellets that would break bones when the struck the trainees, had them trained on blue team. Right as Mendez was about to fire, she reached out her arm and laid her hand on his forearm. He turned to look at her and she shook her head. He nodded, understanding. They would have to be cruel indeed to denie the childre- the trainees their moment of peace.
