Halo:

Spartans New Beginning

One year after the Covenant war the UNSC decided that it would be best to prepare for whatever would come of the Covenant. This led to HighCOMM's decision to initiate the next stage in military history for humanity, the Spartan IV project. But the question is just how will this projects candidates be trained and how will they be selected. This is the story of how these Spartans were selected, trained, and how they grew to become who they are in their lives as Spartans.

Prologue.

0530 HOURS JULY 30TH, 2561 MILITARY CALENDER/ PLANET: ARCADIA, PROCYON SYSTEM, and RUINS OF CAPITAL CITY, PIRTH.

"Look at this place," said Lone Wolf, "use to be the capital city. Now its been reduced to rubble."

"That was a dozen years ago," said Dead Wolf, " when we were little kids, all this is just a reminder of what were going to stop the Covenant from doing to Earth and her remaining colonies.

"Quiet, Pack, "said Alpha Wolf, "movement up ahead, watch your motion sensors, weapons ready, shields up."

The ruins were quiet, but you could tell something was out there even without sensors, it made the team uneasy. The rubble started to move, sliding down mountains of it and dropping around our feet. Whatever was out there, there were more than one of them. Suddenly non-friendly IFF tags started popping up. They were moving like crazy, going every which way, they seemed to just want to encircle the ,Pack.

"Wolf Father watch your back," said Wolfs Eye as she fired a round right by his head, impacting with a solid invisible figure behind him. Soon after a brute fell to the ground… with a huge hole through its skull. A moment later plasma fire came from all around, singing the everything around them, and draining their shields. The ,Pack, quickly took cover and soon returned fire, encircled by a mix of Grunts, Jackals, and Brutes with a mix of weapons from all sides.

Wolf father fired his MA5D assault rifle ,in short burst, at a window with Jackal snipers trying to pick them off. These things needed to get smarter, considering something like that wouldn't work. Every time one of them tried picked them off a ,Pack, member would take the hit ,draining their shields, and forcing them to take cover.

"I need the ,Eye, over here now," called Wolf father," multiple Snipers that I need taken out."

"The ,Eye's, busy right now," called Wolf Twelve, " I'll take 'em out."

He ran over and sighted up his BR55 Battle Rifle, taking aim from what looked like the remains of a truck door that had melted onto the ground, and fired. A few short seconds later the Jackals all fell ,one by one, and the ,Pack, gained its opening.

"Wolf Five, Two ,and Eight, take those Covies down from their side we'll hold here and continue firing on their position." said Alpha Wolf.

Wolf father, along with Five and Eight, ran through the opening and into enemy lines. They fired in short and single burst, taking down Grunts and Jackals. The Brutes ,however, would not go down easily. It took a whole clip just to drop ones shields and a knife to the face to make it go down.

"UNSC Javelin, this is team Wolf Pack requesting extraction from Pirth, we were just ambushed by at least a company of Covenant and would like to get some shut eye before tomorrows next mission." Said Alpha Wolf.

Spartan B-281 this is Javelin we read you loud and clear, please stand by. The COMM went dead for a few seconds then a reply came on. Wolf Pack we have a pelican inbound, ETA, ten minutes.

"Affirmative, holding position our beacon is active."

Wolf Father just stood there waiting for the pelican, rifle slung across his back and sidearm in hand, then Wolf Mother came over to him.

"You think we can win back Arcadia?" she asked him.

"I don't know, maybe. We'll find out once this is all over."

She just looked at him, nodded, then knelt down and shouldered her rifle.

"Pelican inbound." Said Wolf Ten. The Pelican hovered just above them before descending to the ground.

"This is Zeta One-Five-Three, inbound, you boys and girls need a lift, or did you just call to say hello." said the pilot.

"Massy, this is Douglass, we're ready for pickup, so hurry up and get down here." Said Alpha Wolf.

"Copy, settin' down, be advised we're gonna be headin' into some heavy action up top on our way to the Javelin, so get ready for a bumpy ride."

"Everybody in, common lets move." Said Alpha Wolf.

As they ascended from the planet they saw how the fight was going. All the other teams were doing their jobs and holding their own. Who knows, maybe we will win back this planet.

Up in space the navy was holding their own as well. The Covies didn't stand a chance against one of the UNSC's biggest ships, and its fleet. While a dozen Covenant ships float lifeless around the planet, only two UNSC ships, the Rainier and Volgograd both good ships lost along with all hands, had been destroyed during the battle.

As the dropship docked in the landing bay, Wolf Pack grabbed their equipment and dismounted.

"Wolf Pack, form up on the line," said Haku, the ships crew and equipment A.I.," lieutenant Uchiha will be down here shortly."

The team lined up, at parade rest position, and awaited the officer. A few minutes later the officer arrived, pink haired and in her non-military clothing.

"Spartans, attention," she said." sound off"

"Spartan B-281, Wolf 1, Douglass, A.K.A Alpha Wolf."

"Spartan B-305, Wolf 2, Felix, A.K.A Wolf Father."

"Spartan B-119, Wolf 3, Mesa DeLario, A.K.A Wolf Mother."

"Spartan B-286, Wolf 4, Hillary Jacobs."

"Spartan B-005, Wolf 5, Marcus."

"Spartan B-067, Wolf 6, Demetrius Anthony, Toni, Hernandez, A.K.A Lone Wolf."

"Spartan B-027, Wolf 7, Evangel, Eva."

"Spartan B-355, Wolf 8, Leon S. Kennedy, A.K.A Dead Wolf."

"Spartan B-140, Wolf 9, Arianna."

"Spartan B-384, Wolf 10, Ramon."

"Spartan B-399, Wolf 11, Donald Donnowitts, Dyke, Donnie, A.K.A Ravaged Wolf."

"Spartan B-400, Wolf 12, Vihncenzia Petrenko, Vinny, A.K.A Wolfs Eye."

"Team Wolf Pack reporting for duty ma'am." sounded off Wolf Pack with a salute.

"At ease Spartans, report to the techs in ordinance and get those suits off, then report to the bridge before catching some sleep," said, the pink haired, lieutenant. "dismissed."

They headed over to the techs and got their MJOLNIR Mark VI and Mark V removed, switching into their civvies, before heading up to the bridge. On their way to the bridge they past marines, ship crewmen, medical personnel, a few scientist, and some O.D.S.T's, who were for a short time the temporary Spartan IV's until their training had been complete. As they neared the bridge they ran into another Spartan team Valhalla.

"What's up Wolf Pack." said the teams' leader Jackie.

"Nothing much," said Douglass, with a smile," just headin to the bridge, you?"

"Same here."

They entered the bridge to find all the top Spartan squads there. Javelins CO and leader of the fleet had selected each member and put him or her with who he thought they were best suited to operate with.

And there he stood in the center of the bridge. His hair naturally orange and weird whisker like birthmarks on his cheeks. He wore a tan jacket over a black and orange T-shirt, blue jeans, black boots, and a wide brimmed hat that bore his homelands symbol on it.

They all snapped to attention, saluted, and said," Good morning major Uzumaki, sir!"

He just smiled, walked up to each, gave them a hug, and then called them to ease.

"Now we can get started." was the only thing he said.
