Halo 3: Secrets Untold
Summary: The Master Chief is on his final battle, on both Earth and space. Can he stop the Prophet of Truth and the Covenant, before they figure out a secret that can change the outcome of the war?
Hello everyone! This is my first fan fiction so please go easy on me. The beginning starts out where it left off in Halo 2, a bit rough at the beginning but should settle out in later chapters. Just to warn you, there might be a few Cortana/Master Chief fluff romance stuff in later chapters, whatever you want to call it, but nothing too serious. It's basically feelings, emotions and all but nothing too intense, if you know what I mean. Give this a go, and enjoy the first chapter! Halo, and everything to do with Halo, is the property of Bungie, not mine.

Chapter 1: First Flight
Last time:
"We've got a new contact, unknown classification!"
"It isn't one of ours. Take it out!"
"This is Spartan one-one-seven. Can anyone read me?"
"Isolate that signal! Master chief? You mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?"
"Sir. Finishing this fight."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John knew it hadn't been long since he left High Charity, along with Cortana. He knew he had to complete his mission; to stop the Prophet of Truth. As he walked down the corridor, he checked his ammo. Only a few rounds left, and that won't do any good, since he assumed there would be many guards and patrols along the way. He came around to turn a corner, and searched for any signs of patrols. None. For a ship with a Prophet on board, it was poorly protected; he thought. His mind suddenly drifted for a second, and realized, just how much Cortana had been there for him, even though she might of said useless comments, she always served as great company. John shook himself out of his thoughts. He had to stay focused.
He came across the first door. Probably another corridor, he thought to himself. Walking up cautiously, he readied his gun and prepared to fire if anything was on the other side. The doors slid open and peered inside. Nothing. Something was definitely wrong. For large ship, there definitely weren't many guards around. This might be easier than I thought it would be, he thought, but still kept his guns at the ready.
John kept a fair pace as he walked down the endless corridor. It was filled up with locked doors with unfamiliar writing upon them. He could tell that he was going up the Forerunner ship, rather than descending lower. As a familiar saying goes, the Princess is locked at the top of the highest tower, but where John was going there would be no Princess. The loud alarm of the ship blazed through the corridor, and echoed all around. A voice suddenly popped up from the speakers. "The demon is on the ship, do not let him escape!" said an outraged brute. "Eliminate the demon! Do not let him tread upon the holy floors! Protect the Holy One!". The once locked doors opened, starting from the bottom of the corridor. Many covenant forces started to pile out in the corridor and march upwards to eliminate the threat. There is no way I can face that many enemies with this amount of bullets, he thought to himself, and decided to finish them off after he had killed Truth. He discarded his pace and started to run up the corridor, where Truth was thought to be held.
As the end of the corridor became clearer, and the faint noise of the covenant forces became fainter, John stopped and observed his surroundings. The end of the corridor, or at least he thinks is the end, is much wider, and has a greater light illuminating the walls. There is a fairly large, decorated door at the end of the passage, which is guarded by two, monstrous brute honor guards who, in fact, couldn't see the Master Chief. John drew his gun and prepared for a fight, if not a battle in case reinforcements arrived. He aimed his gun and shot one brute in the head, and another in the brute's neck. The brute fell to the ground, while his partner threw himself at the Chief. John shot one bullet in the brute's chest, and dodged the attack from the brute, and shot another bullet in the brute's back and pushed him to the ground. Dead. There were only Brute Plasma Rifles available to pick up, and John decided that it would be better than nothing. He advanced on the doors and opened his comm device. "Admiral, this is Spartan one-one-seven, requesting permission to engage the enemy." After a few seconds, a reply came. "Permission granted, Master Chief. Good luck". John knew that that would be the last time he would talk to a human if he were to fail the mission.
Knowing what to do, John kept his finger on the trigger, and crept up to the doors. They slid open and he took in a quick view of the room. Very little guards, due to the fact most of them were in the endless corridor, not much obstacles or protection, and the Prophet of Truth on the far side of the room. John did his best not to be seen and managed to creep up to the closest wall on the side of the Prophet. John was about 5 meters away before he decided to be visible among the rest. His hard footsteps ran up to the prophet and seized him from the back, grabbed his Brute Plasma Rifle and shot him with it. The Prophet was weak, but his screams were heard throughout the room, and alerted the remaining guards. In the covenant language, the prophet screamed in his high pitched voice, "Do not let him escape!". Even though John didn't understand the language, the guards split into two groups. While one was advancing on the chief, with the half dead prophet in his grasp, the other group was heading for the controls. John let go of the Prophet and shot at the second group. He was too late, and only succeeded in jamming the controls. A red light had already surged through the entire ship, which had started to descend towards Earth. The forerunner ship was set on a collision course with the planet, and there would be no way to stop it.
It all happened so fast. The Forerunner ship gaining more speed. Flashes of red light. Screams seemed to be coming from the covenant forces. Earth getting closer and closer until...CRASH! And everything turned black.
End of Chapter 1: First Flight.
This is just the beginning. Like I said it's my first fan fiction so please tell me if I am doing ok, or if there's anything that you want me to fix. I'm not very good at planning battles so I apologize if it wasn't that good. The story gets better as you go on, and I've planned out some of the chapters. But so far, even I want to see where this goes.
Please review if you want me to continue!
Hope you enjoyed!
