Prologue [ Technically epilogue from Reach]
Noble Six POV
"I was alone again my first team dead in a little over a month Jorge, Kat, Carter, and Emile was gone". "Jun seemed to be the lucky one as he was somewhere with the Dr Halsey". "Looks like this is the end of the line" I thought, as I looked up at the Zealot class Elite raising its Energy dagger yelling only to be interrupted by a loud crack and the sound of the body of the Elite falling to the ground. "What in the world" I thought when the other Elite roared and was then shot in the head. I was stunned looking at the now dead Elite really thinking this was my last day to be alive.
"What are you doing get up and keep shooting" shouted someone with an accented voice.
Regaining my focus I picked up my assault rifle which was knocked to the side and started shooting at the closest Elite which was an Ultra with an energy sword I took his shields down but then my rifle clicked empty, drooping it I rolled to the side just as the Ultra swung his sword where I used to be, standing up I grabbed my Combat knife and I slammed it into the Elite Ultra's head killing it instantly. Turning I saw another Elite Ultra slam into me I grabbed my M6G Magnum and shot him repeatedly successfully bringing down his shield but the Ultra knocked it out from my hand before I could kill him. He then tried to stab me with his energy dagger but before he could do it I grabbed his arm before his dagger impaled my head, struggling I held his arm his energy dagger millimeters from my face then with a burst of strength I shoved his hand up and elbowed him with my right arm in the jaw knocking him to the side rolling so that I was on top of him I grabbed his arm with the energy dagger and pushed the energy dagger through his head killing him. I stood up to find all the enemies dead with identical sniper bullet holes in their heads or heart .
"You alright there Six" said the mysterious person.
I turned around and saw Jun standing in front of him sniper rifle in hand smoke coming out of the barrel.
"Jun your alive thanks for saving me, how are you here I thought I was the only one left" I replied.
"Your welcome Six after I arrived at Castle base I managed to locate your signal here and I immediately came here to pick you up. Now let's get out of here now before we get killed."
Nodding my head in agreement I went to pick up my cracked helmet and took out the video footage and put it in my tactical hard case I went into the building and found a big square green container with faded writing on the side and its lid open. I looked inside and was shocked to find spartan helmets. I looked through them and most of them looked like they went a couple rounds against a raging Brute chieftain with broken visors or cracked armor but I managed to find one that was not broken I picked it up and examined it. The helmet was a Mark V[B] Pilot Variant with the UA/HUL[3] attachment and a gold visor. Putting it on my shields finally recharged I put my old helmet down and walked outside and found Jun in the Warthog driver seat. I walked up to the passenger side of the seat and got in as we started driving.
"Nice helmet where did you find it? Jun asked.
"I found it in the container inside most of the helmets in there were busted but I managed to find this one undamaged" I replied.
"Good your gonna need it when I was on my way here I ran into a lot of Covenant patrols but I managed to evade them, but I don't think that we can evade them this time".
" Where we going"?
"Castle base that's where Dr Halsey is with".
30 min later we ran into a group of Covenant. We got out of the Warthog and crept quietly up to a small hill overlooking the camp.
"What do you see" I asked.
"Five Elites, a couple of Jackal snipers and they seem to have some marines hostage with a Pelican and Falcon" Jun replied.
"Alright I'll flank them while you take them out, fire on my signal".
I crept to the East side of the camp behind some boulders, I took out my DMR. I had a full clip and 2 extra clip.
"Now open fire"I said to Jun.
Jun opened up and took out one Elite while the rest of his buddies looked around I peeked out of hiding and opened fire hitting and killing an Elite Minor.
"Jun take out those snipers" I said as they started firing at me with their needle rifles narrowly dodging a Needle shard.
"I'm on it" Jun replied.
I heard a couple cracks of his sniper rifle and saw the dead Jackal snipers fall from their posts. I continued firing at the Elites taking an Elite Ranger down. Jun took out an Elite Major leaving two left. I managed to take the first one out but before I could start firing on the last Elite which just happened to be a Zealot I ran out of bullets. The Zealot came at me charging at me and swung his sword grazing my shields knocking it down to 50% and slicing my DMR in half. The Zealot then elbowed me in the chest effectively taking out my shields and knocking me to the ground. The Zealot then tried to stab me but I blocked his arm with my left forearm and with my right I punched his arm effectively utilizing my MJOLNIR Mark V[B] power and knocking his sword out of his hand. Then with a swift kick I knocked him over onto the ground getting up and doing a spin I picked up his energy sword and jumped up and stabbed him the chest ending his life. I got up, my DMR was useless but I still had my Magnum and the Energy sword. I turned around and started to make my way to the camp where we found a total of eight marines bound in Energy handcuffs. Unbounding them with my Energy sword to which they looked wide eyed at me.
The first marine who got freed said "Thanks for getting us out of there I'm Sergeant Michael" the Sergeant said introducing himself.
"Your welcome Sergeant, if you don't mind me asking where did you come from" I asked?
"We came from Sword base doing a torch and burn operation when we received a distress signal from these three saying that there Falcon was experiencing difficulties so we set down here and fixed there falcon when we were overrun by those Elites and Jackals".
"Well we better get going we need to get to castle before more covenant show up" Jun said. "Yes sir" Sergeant Michael said turning around he relayed the order to his men.
"Jun fly the Pelican I'll take the Falcon and these two I said pointing to the two healthiest marines" I said.
We carried the wounded onto the Pelican and set them down. "Sergeant perhaps you should apply some Bio foam to your men Castle base isn't far away but we need to be sneaky so it could take a while to get there" I said. "Yes sir, William's get the bio foam out of the med kit and start applying it" Michael said. I got out of the Pelican and entered the Falcon cockpit and after the two marines got in I started the engines and I took off with Jun in the Pelican flying closely behind to Castle base. 20 Mins later after we dodged several Banshee patrols we arrived at Castle base.
"How are we supposed to get in" I asked Jun over the radio?
" I don't know send in a transmission" Jun replied.
"I can't radio's all jammed up".
"Wait I'm picking up movement look hangar doors".
I looked around and saw hidden hangar doors opening up.
"Well look at that a hidden hangar" I muttered.
Flying toward the hangar we landed and I got out of the Falcon when I felt something touch my helmet.
"Freeze stay right where you are said a female voice behind me. Who are you and what are you doing here"?
"Wait stop" said Jun "he's with me".
" Who are you" I asked turning around I saw a female spartan in olive green Mark V armor with a red rabbit emblem on her chest plate dual wielding two Magnums with one pointed at my face.
"Sorry we had to make sure this wasn't a trap, I'm Kelly-87" she said moving the magnum away from my face and putting it on her magnetic strips on her legs.
I nodded my head "I'm Spartan B-312 ,Noble six" I replied.
"Kelly why don't you bring our guest up to the control room so we can have a proper introduction" said a man with a texas accent through the PA.
"Yes Admiral, come on theres more of us".
"Wait we have wounded and they need medical attention we gave them bio foam but that's not going to last much longer".
Kelly hesitated for a moment then finally said "Bring them to the infirmary the medics there will be able to patch them up".
"Sir we can get them to the infirmary you can go ahead" said Sergeant Michael.
"Alright take care of yourself Sergeant" I said
"Yes sir" he said as he turned around and went to aid his wounded men.
Following Kelly we went up a flight of stairs and entered a control room complete with consoles and a holo-table. Inside of the room four other spartans, Dr Halsey, a couple of marines and a high ranking UNSC official in UNSC dress robes.
"Spartan B-312 it's a nice to see you again, this is Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb and Red team consisting of Fred-104. Kelly-87, Anton-44, and Grace-93".
"Pleasure to meet you son"said Whitcomb.
"Pleasures all mine, what's our current status sir" I said.
"Well for the last couple weeks or so we have been camping [ AN: It's a legitimate strategy] out here trying to hold out".
"We saw you coming on our radar but we could not radio in" Halsey said.
"Same as us, do you know why they aren't working" I asked?
"Yes the radios weren't working because of the artifact that I have found it's sending off electrical impulses that are rendering the radio's useless, luckily though the radars have been modified to withstand the impulses or we would not have been able to see any incoming targets".
"Artifact Jun asked"?
"Yes a Forerunner artifact that we found under mount Menachite so far we have been unable to find out what it can do".
Suddenly a beeping sound went off on the console a marine walked over to the console and looked at it.
"Sir we have a contact approaching us it appears to be a Covenant type-52 Phantom dropship" the Marine said.
"Sound the alarms get everyone to their battlestations" Danforth said immediately.
"No wait the dropship is hailing us sir".
"Covenant hailing us they never do that" I said.
"Perhaps some of our forces captured a Covenant dropship" Jun said.
" Maybe but I think this is a trap" Danforth said.
"Well let's find out Sir, Soldier open communications one way, audio only "I said to the marine.
"Yes sir, link has been established" said the marine.
We all focused our eyes at the holotable waiting for the dropship to respond. After several long seconds a seven beat tune came from the speakers. The effect was instantaneous it was liked someone had dropped a flashbang in the room. After several seconds Kelly turned to the marine manning the communication leaving with what I swore was an after image of herself and quickly told the marine to turn it to a two way link.
"But ma'am"- the marine began.
"Now soldier" Dr Halsey chimed in turning to the soldier determination and excitement in her blue eyes.
"Yes ma'am" the marine said turning back to his console. "Communications is now both ways audio only still" he said.
Kelly turned to the holotable and quickly whistled the same tune that played through the radio. The radio crackled a bit before a man's voice came in.
"This is Sierra-117 Castle base is anyone there please respond".
