Spartan Team Quebec, consisting of 5 Spartans (Staff Sergeant Diego-238, Sergeant Sylvia-672, PFC Joker-914, Corporal Cleopatra-556, and Lieutenant Arkadios-888), were sent on a mission to take down a Covenant Scarab 15 mikes west of the Pillar of Autumn's crash site. They are Oscar Mike (means "On the Way") in a Pelican. "So Sylvia, you said that you don't a have a man back home, right?" Diego asked.

"Yea, what's it to you? Have you taken a liking to me?" Sylvia responded.

"Uh, well actu-."

"Hey, shut it." Arkadios ordered. "We are on a top priority mission here, not a play date." Everyone immediately stopped and remained quiet. After about an hour of complete silence the pilot announced, "Ready up Spartans, we are 2 clicks away from our destin-." The pilot was interrupted by Anti-Aircraft fire from below. The Pelican was rocking back and forth. "Hold on Spartans, it's gonna get bumpy!" The aircraft-driver said. The Pelican's left wing caught on fire. They were gonna crash. "Spartans, we are initiating an emergency drop. Prepare to jump." The pilot reported. Spartan Team Quebec stood up as the back of the aircraft opened and revealed a considerably large Covenant base below them. The pilot came over the intercom, "On my mark. Three….two….one…. drop!" The soldiers all jumped off the Pelican, landing into enemy territory. However, once the Spartan were close enough as they were falling, they noticed a light purple hue around their drop location. They were falling right into it. The second they made contact with the hue, they disappeared, or teleported.

Arkadios POV

When I touched that gas-like barrier, I was teleported into pitch black darkness. I could feel that I was still falling, although never reaching ground.

All of a sudden, "OOF!". I had slammed onto hard ground. When I opened my eyes, I saw I was in a desert.

But wait, it's not deserted. There's a city off in the distance. Maybe there's someone who can help me. However, I couldn't stand. Are my legs broken? They don't hurt. I might just be in shock. So, I started crawling at a slow pace. I tried to move faster, but I couldn't. After what seemed like forever, I reached the city. The second I touched the city's concrete, it dawned on me. Where's the rest of my squad? I thought. I turned my head and looked around. Many people were staring at me.

Have they never seen a guy in Mjolnir Mark V armor before? I tried to say that I was injured, but for some reason I couldn't talk. One girl with a mini checkerboard skirt and some kind of black trench coat or vest saw me and ran over to me. She must've realized that I was wounded. The girl tried to pick me up, but my armor was too heavy for her. "Stay right there, I'm gonna go get help!" The girl said. She ran like hell up to an odd building that seemed to have a fetish for skulls or something. Suddenly, everything went black.
