What's up you gamers or people on the site looking for a good story. I got bored one day and was playing Halo so I decided to write this. Please note I do not own the Halo franchise, it is owned by Bungie (or 343 Studios I'm not too sure) and Microsoft. Credit to them for creating the best Fantasy universe you will ever experience. Some characters are based off real people (you know who you are) and are completely made up from my imagination (which I guess means I own them?). Well this has been long enough, please enjoy.
Noah stares through his HUD (Heads Up Display) at his weapons counter, making sure his mag is full. He has a sudden flashback of when he and Omega Team were on a covert mission on the planet Harvest. He shudders and reloads his MA5B Assault Rifle and looks at his squad.
Omega Team, an Office of Naval Intelligence (or ONI) was a Section Three experiment. They were the best of the best from the SPARTAN III program, and were hand picked by Colonel Ackerson, the man behind the SPARTAN IIIs, himself. The squad consisted of 6 members, Noah, Marie, Charlie, Brent, Thrash, and Viper. They all had their differences but in the end they were brothers and sisters all with a bond like no other. This is the untold story of Omega Team.
Noah, the squad leader, is the most fearless but not cocky one of the group. He took charge in training on planet Onyx. He first glances over at Marie, the stealthiest girl he had ever laid eyes on. He stared at their version of the SPARTAN II armor, a lighter version that made Marie look all the better. He opened a private COMM channel to her and whispered "Get over hear on the double."
Her blue acknowledgment light winked on his HUD. As she trotted towards him, he recalls all the countless times he stares at her. He has had a crush on her since the first day he liked girls in Basic Training, even though Spartans were taught not to feel emotions like that. She squatted beside him and removed her helmet, revealing her tan skin, long brown curly hair and what he considered a beautiful face. "What is it this time Noah?" she said in a playful yet curious tone.
"I need you to contact Viper and give me a count on the number of contacts we have down there" he replied in a more serious tone.
"Will do," she giggles as she twirls her hair (a frequent habit of hers that drives Noah insane) and puts her helmet back on and disappears into the brush like a whisper in the wind.
Omega Team was assigned to capture an Insurrection general, General Clarence Mills, and eliminate all enemy contacts at his outpost on the planet Arcadia. Normally, Omega Team was assigned covert operations against the Covenant, an alien alliance at war with humanity (called the United Nations Space Command or UNSC).
Noah glances towards a clearing wear spots Brent behind a tree near two Insurrection guards.
Brent has a shorter figure with sandy blonde hair a freckles. Being as the members of Omega Team were only 14, Brent still has not lost his freckles (and he believes he will).
Brent aims his silenced assault rifle at the first guard's head. Noah flashes his green go-ahead sign on his HUD.
Just before Brent is about to squeeze the trigger, he hears a gagging sound. The second guard dropped to the ground with a thud and a combat knife in his neck as Marie stands over him. Just as the first guard notices her, a crack comes from the other side of the forest. A .50 caliber sniper round pierces through the first guards head and he too falls to the ground with a satisfying thud.
"No fair!" Brent and Marie complain over the squad's COMM channel.
"Sorry guys, I had the clear shot." replies the shy voice of Viper, the team's sniper.
"Pinpoint accuracy. Nice work Viper" says Noah.
"Oh well. Hehe." giggles Marie.
"Man if only I had my 12 gage…" replies Brent retrospectively.
Brent was known for his obsession over of his 12 gage shotgun, which he deeply loved.
"Who in God's name started the fireworks without me," exclaims a deep voice from behind a bush. Thrash, the squad's heavy weapons expert, appears from behind a bush, "I heard that sniper round from 3 clicks away! Half the base is probably on alert!"
"Well then, we'll have to make a bigger entrance," Noah replies, "Viper, how many contacts are down there?"
"74 to be exact, 75 counting Mills."
"Alright then, where's Charlie?" Noah asks.
Omega Team looks at each other in confusion, and everyone shakes their head. Noah opens a private COMM to him, "Omega 3, do you read?" The COMM fills with static, "SPARTAN 269, do you copy, over?" Yet again static fills the COMM.
"Um, guys. I think we have another and bigger problem on our hands." Thrash says. Suddenly a roaring hum comes over the Spartans, and when it gets ear-splittingly loud, they spot a Covenant Phantom drop ship overhead. The purple underside glows intensely as it flies by, heading towards the Insurrection base.
"Looks like we got some more company on our hands," said Noah, "Viper, get over here on the double."
"Yes sir." says Viper. She was the only other girl on Omega Team, and Marie's best friend. Viper normally stayed away from the squad out of her antisocial habits.
Her sleek figure appears, covered in branches and leaves. She is a holding a sniper rifle (obviously).
"Viper, take point on the ridge 2 clicks north of the compound. Thrash, Brent, flank the compound on the southwest side. That's where the patrol should be at 0900 hours. Marie, stay tight with me. We'll enter the compound, find Mills and take care of him, while Viper takes the guards out on patrol," Noah glares at Marie for a second lost in her visor.
"Noah?" asks Thrash.
"What? Oh sorry," Noah then glares at Thrash's SPNKER Rocket Launcher, "Thrash, beat the daylight outa the opposition with that monster on your shoulder. Brent, kill off all Covvies and find Charlie. Understand?"
Everyone's acknowledgement winked except Charlie's, which began to worry Noah.
"Alright then, move out Omega Team. God's speed."
Well I hope you guys liked it! Please leave any reviews and I'll try to get through all of them. I will try to get the next chapter (going back to training on Onyx and continue from there) ASAP. For the record, I do not happen to be a gamer and am an athlete. However, I guess you can say I know a lot about Halo…. Whatever. Omega out.
