Master Chief was ripping through Covenant with his submachine gun. He plowed through several Unngoy with his M7 submachine gun. He was backed by a few Marines led by Staff Sargent Johnson. Johnson was utilizing a BR55 battle rifle. They were on the planet Luyten, in the city of Newport. The Chief threw a frag grenade at a group of Kig'Yar, and the Jackals flew everywhere from the blast.
"That's what I'm talking about!" a female Marine yelled. The Chief swept the area one last time for remaining hostiles. The area was clear. Then, a voice came over the radio. It was a distress signal.
"This is Officer Carlos of the Newport Police. I'm pinned down at the city hall and can't hold the Covenant off much longer. If any UNSC military forces are in the area, please help me. I can't last much longer" the voice said. Cortana heard the signal as loud and clear as everyone else.
"You know what to do, Chief" she said. Johnson looked back at the Marines, then back at Chief.
"I say you take this. We need to get to the other side of the city and aid in evacuating civilians. And hurry! He's not gonna last much longer" Chief began running towards the source of the distress signal. It wasn't very far away, but with Covenant forces in the area, it wasn't easy. Chief arrived at city hall, and ran up the large stone steps to the building. He kicked the front door in, and began searching for the police officer. He looked into the chamber where the mayor and city council met every Thursday and saw dead Covenant laying about. He heard gunshots from upstairs, and ran upstairs. He heard a man yelling.
"Get off me!" he yelled, and Chief saw a Grunt go flying. He shredded through a few more Grunts before running into the second floor office. There was the police officer, holding his M6.
"Thank you for getting here! I was running low on ammo and didn't think I'd make it!" he exclaimed. Something was off about him, though. He was big as a Spartan, holding their height when they're not in their armor. He appeared to have single handedly fought off a horde of Covenant.
"How did you survive this long on your own?" Chief asked. The officer shrugged.
"I guess I get it from my mom. She was a Spartan. She said my dad was a Spartan, too, which why I was born with the augmentations. I'd like to meet my father after 23 years, but it might be a stretch" he replied. Chief wanted to consult Cortana, but didn't want to seem to crazy.
"I'm doubting you right now"
"My mom lives in the suburb of Old Wilhelm. I'm going to head back to the station, get some tactical gear and a battle rifle. I don't have the body armor for another fight like that with the Covenant. I can give you a lift if you want." Chief wanted to see more of this guy, see if he was telling the truth.
"I'll escort you" he found himself saying. The cop perked up, very gleefully. He pointed towards the back end of the building.
"My squad car is out back. We need to hurry, as they may come back" The Chief knew he was right. Carlos led him through the other sections of city hall, and led him to a police SUV. Carlos said it was because the standard police car couldn't fit his large frame. He revved the engine and they began rushing through the streets. Carlos didn't flip the lights and sirens on as not to attract Covenant. There was a 15-story blue building in front of them. Carlos slammed the breaks.
"Here we are. Let's go!" The two jumped out and ran in. Carlos led the Chief to an elevator, and they rode up to the top floor. Carlos ran up to two men.
"Sir, I'd like to introduce you to Detective Iggy Mason and Lieutenant Calen Aagard" Carlos introduced the two to the Chief. Detective Johnson looked the Chief up and down.
"Never thought I'd see a Spartan in person" he mused. Carlos pointed to a hallway.
"Lieutenant, let's help this Spartan out. We should get tactical gear first" Caleb looked at Carlos like he was crazy.
"We can't take Covenant. We don't have the armor the military has!" he exclaimed, exasperated. Detective Mason spoke up.
"I'll get a Pelican prepped. There's on the landing pad on the roof" he told them.
"It's worth a shot. All hands on deck are needed for this" Cortana piped up. The three cops looked around the room, confused.
"I'll explain later" Chief said. Detective Mason led the Chief to the Pelican while Carlos and Caleb got changed into tactical gear. It felt they had just walked onto the pad, all of two minutes, and Carlos and Caleb arrived.
"We're the rapid response unit, so we can get in our gear quickly" Caleb explained. Chief was talking to Johnson, trying to get his location.
"We're in Chinatown. It should be just northeast of the PD" he said over the radio.
"Chinatown!" Mason punched it to the next two streets over to Chinatown. Caleb remembered Chinatown as where they put him when he first joined the force as a beat cop. Detective Mason landed the police Pelican by Johnson's Marines. The three men inside hopped out and began fighting the Covenant.
"Did you miss me?" Chief sarcastically asked as he blew through a Brute. Carlos was nailing headshots with his battle rifle, and Caleb was holding on as best he could. At least the Marines were there. The civilians took cover behind them, as the evac was waiting for an LZ. After a volley of gunfire from both sides, the Pelicans swooped in to evacuate the civilians. The UNSC lost none in this firefight. Detective Mason took a few civilians who couldn't fit on the UNSC Pelicans.
"Now THAT was a rush!" Carlos exclaimed. One of the Marines nodded in agreement. A call came over the Chief's radio. It was Hank Moreno, the captain of the UNSC Trapped Under Ice.
"Chief, if you have a Carlos Gomez with you, there's two women up here that want to meet him" he told the Chief. He turned to Carlos.
"I need you two to come up to the Trapped Under Ice with me. It's important" Carlos and Caleb perked up. They wondered why they were wanted aboard a UNSC frigate. Sargent Major Johnson then led the two of them to the space Pelican to get up to the ship.
