Halo 4: Fireteam Crimson

It's been four years since the Human-Covenant war. But yet humanity faced a new threat that was discovered six months ago by the UNSC's best ship: The UNSC Infinity. Now this ship has been tasked with the mission to eliminate certain Covenant forces that returned to the planet discovered by Infinity: Requiem.

For the success of the mission, the UNSC authorized the re-use of the SPARTAN IV Program, now many teams are being instructed to board the Pelicans on Earth and get to the Infinity. These teams assigned to the Infinity are Fireteams Lancer, Switchback, Ivy, Castle, Kodiak, Apex, Mountain, Shadow, Domino, Sword, Tower, Horse, Forest, Majestic and Crimson.

Inside the Infinity, many Pelicans landed on the docking bay, each brining their own Spartan Fireteams. And this story centers on the crew of the Pelican that had a Red Spider symbol…this is the Fireteam Crimson. Unlike the other teams that have members of four or five, Crimson consist of only three Spartans:

James-310: The leader of the team. He has short black hair, dark eyes, light skin and a slight scar beneath the right eye, his specializations consist of being a high skilled Sniper and Shocktrooper besides leading the squad.

Sam-140: The pilot of the team, she may be the youngest of the group but that doesn't mean she's not ready for battle. She has brown hair of medium size, she has blue eyes and bright skin. Her intelligence and experience on foreign technology made her the second in command of the team.

Gregory-655: The infiltration expert of the team. He has short dark hair, dark eyes, a small beard beneath the jaw and dark skin. He runs the Recon missions and he's been considered a real grenade man in every battle simulation.

When the three members of Crimson exited the Pelican, they contemplated the inside of the biggest ship of the human fleet.

-"Hmm, it's good to be back." Gregory affirmed.

-"Yeah, what's been now, almost ten months since we left this place?" Sam added.

-"It's been eight, actually." James said.

-"And still, you weren't able to get the Master Chief's autograph when he was on board." Greg said.

-"I missed my shot, I will get an autograph from the legendary 117 and I'll show it on your face." James said.

-"You're such a geek sometimes, James." Sam joked.

-"Watch it, sis. I'm your Superior." James joked back and Sam only chuckled.

-"All right, Crimson. Form up, we'll wait for instructions." James ordered.

Soon Sam noticed a woman approaching them and she immediately recognize her.

-"Guys! That's Commander Sarah Palmer!" Sam whispered.

-"What? You mean THE Commander Palmer?" James whispered back.

-"Wow…And I just had to shave my hair today." Gregory applied.

-"Knock it off, Greg." James whispered and gave Greg a light punch in his arm. Soon Palmer was in front of them.

-"Fireteam Crimson, commander on deck!" James yelled and then he and his team performed a military salute.

-"At ease, Spartans." Palmer ordered.

-"Huh, it's good to see some Spartans still take thing seriously. Unlike Fireteam Majestic…you made a very good introduction to yourselves. I expect you will keep impressing me on the battlefield…follow the other teams to the S-deck. Your order will be given briefly." Palmer ordered.

-"Yes, ma'am!" All the Spartans from Crimson said. When Palmer left, Crimson proceeded to their destination.

-"Cool! First day on the Infinity and we receive a flattery." Greg commented.

-"Of course, with my leadership, why not?" James affirmed.

-"Oh, you're a knucklehead." Sam said as she rolled her eyes.

When they reached the S-deck. Every Spartan was already being armored up and Crimson wouldn't stay out of it.

-"Okay, Crimson. Get ready for the party." James said so he and his team were ready. Greg's armor was a full Pioneer armor with GV-09 Locking forearms and Recruit Legs while his visor was black. His colors are black with yellow stripes.

Sam's armor was an Aviator helmet, Recon Chest armor, EVA shoulders, Outer-Plated Forearms, XG-89 Narrow and her visor silver. Her colors are brown with cyan stripes.

James' armor was a Recruit helmet, Aviator Chest Armor, Air Assault shoulders, XV-27 Shifting Forearms, LG-50 Bulk legs and his visor blue. His colors are red with blue stripes. As they were armoring up, Commander Palmer gave her speech:

-"Ladies and… other Spartans, listen up! Your new workplace is a planet first discovered by humanity six months ago called Requiem. Some of the old hands here know what you're in for. The rest of you… you're due for an education. The eggheads upstairs wants to set up research bases. But before they can do that, we need to fend off some Covenant squatters. The Covies… they believe that this is the home of one of their gods. The way I see it? If those freaks want to meet god, it's our duty to help them along!" Commander Palmer said and soon Crimson was already armored up.

-"Well said, commander." Greg said about the commander's speech.

-"Okay, Crimson, get on the Pelican. We have some Covie heads to knock." James ordered.

-"We're right behind ya, boss." Sam replied.

When the Infinity arrived to Requiem, they found an entire Covenant fleet surrounding the planet's orbit. Soon many Pelicans descended from the bays of the Infinity.

-"This is Crimson-One, we're entering Requiem's Atmosphere, descend on five secs and…got it! We're in hang on." The pilot of the Pelican informed.

-"Hold your helmets, Crimson. This is gonna get loud!" James yelled as the Pelican descended into Requiem.

When they entered the atmosphere of the planet. They could see the inside of Requiem through the Pelican's windows.

-"A whole metallic planet and its interior looks like a desert. How can that be?" Sam asked.

-"You're the tech expert, you tell me." Greg said and soon the Pelican started to land on the designated LZ.

-"Get weapons, Crimson. We have 15 seconds before the land." James said as he grabbed his trusty Assault Rifle and Magnum, a pair of Frag grenades. Also he was checking his latest armor upgrade. The Thurster Pack.

Greg armed himself with a DMR, a Magnum and a pair of Frag grenades.

Finally Sam armed herself with only a Magnum, a pair of frag grenades and placed a jetpack on her back.

-"Only a pistol?" Greg asked.

-"Yup." Sam said.

-"You're gonna need something with more power, you know?" James suggested.

-"Fifty credits that I can finish the mission while just using this. What do you say, Big Daddy?" Sam said.

-"Get ready to lose your salary, little girl." James said as he chuckled and Greg was trying to hold a laughter.

-"Don't even…" Sam threatened Greg.

-"Okay, Crimson. Let's go!" James ordered as his team exited the Pelican.
