Winter contingency

It was hell on Reach, My Team; Trinity was all that's left. We saw all the corpses of Dead Spartans, we even saw Noble 6…he's a hero. Our Falcon landed in the middle of a hot zone, we piled out of it and took up positions. I'm Darion Trinity team's leader; I'm a Spartan III, a Natural leader. Elites charged us and our positions, yet we gunned them all down in seconds, we must've killed a few dozen of those bastards. I looked up at the sky; I giant Covenant Assault Carrier loomed over the entire battlefield, releasing a dozen Transport ships. I looked at my team, all of them looked at me, "today we avenge our fallen brothers! For every Spartan they kill a hundred of them will die!" they all nodded to me, we all stood up and shouted into the air, "FOR MOTHER EARTH AND HER COLONIES!"

I stood up exhausted and out of ammo on top of the pile of Covenant corpses, I looked at the sky once more; the carrier was gone along with its transport ships. The day was ours…to bad my team died. I decided to bury their bodies in honor of their service to Earth. After I was about halfway done I heard footsteps behind me and pulled out my magnum, spinning in a full 180 degrees.

"Whoever you are, come on out!" I shouted into the desert…nothing. I put my weapon away and turned back around only to get kicked square in the chest. I was sent about 10 feet away before I came back onto the ground with a sickening fall. I grabbed my chest in pain and tried to stand up only to be pushed back down onto the ground. I noticed there was nothing on till I saw flicker, 'Danmit! Spec ops!' I immediately kick upward and heard a groan, as I saw the camo field drop showing Sangheili Field Marshal. I cursed myself; I once got in a tango with a field marshal and came out nearly losing my right eye. I mustered up my strength and by grabbing its leg I tossed it off of me. I pulled out my shoulder knife and got into a stance, and just my luck…it had an energy sword. I heard it chuckle at me and spoke clearly in human tongue, and in a feminine voice.

"What's the matter Demon? Think you can take me on?" she taunted at me and I growled at her underneath my helmet.

"Damn right I can! I killed more of your kind before you showed up!" I taunted back before tackling her to the ground with blinding speed. With a loud crash we fell to the ground and began throwing punches to one another. I was losing the fight, she managed to knock my helmet off of me, exposing my light brown skin, my hair was in the style of corn rows, my eyes were both differently colored; my left eye was sky blue while the other was blood red, a scar was noticeable over my right eye.

The Elite looked at me with fear and ceased her attacks. She kicked me off and stood up, putting away her weapon and spoke in her alien language. I looked at her confused before she said, "So you are what they call 'Dragon'? I've heard stories about you."

I was not amazed; I was a born and trained to kill. I was an assassin when I came to killing high ranking officers. I smirked at her, "so the covenant has been telling stories about me eh?" I said in a low voice.

She nodded and fell to her knees in front of me, "as by covenant law for female officers, I am now your slave" she spoke in a shaky voice as she stared at the ground with tears rolling from her golden eyes.
