Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Halo! Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own Halo, 343 and Microsoft do.

(Reach, New Alexandria.)

Another Elite fell to the ground as the ground as the 4 ODSTs continued to hold off the alien soldiers, a D77-TC Pelican rose up to meet the 4 soldiers.

"Nick, Sam, get your asses aboard, James, you're with me, hold them off another minute until their aboard and then we're out!"

Captain Rayden 'Ray' Jackman said as he fired his M7 as the smg continued to rip through the Jackals that swarmed the landing pad, Ray knew the planet was lost, the Covenant cruisers that swarmed the skies and the massive increase of Covenant soldiers trying to kill them was all the proof the soldier needed.

Getting his squad to safety was the only thing concerning him at the moment, however.

"Ray, we have to go!"

Nick yelled as the ODST Captain cursed and leapt into the troop bay as the Pelican turned, fired its engines, and flew off as the 10 ODSTs regrouped as Ray pulled off his helmet to wipe at his black buzz cut hair as he turned and placed his helmet back on, his armor was Earth's model of ODST armor.

"Nick, get us to whatever is left of Sword Base, there's a Sahara-class Prowler the ONI spooks left there… We're leaving Reach."

Ray said as the other 6 ODSTs in the troop bay with Ray turned to look at their commander, he sighed, knowing what they were going to say.

"I know most of you want to stay and die on Reach, we came from Earth to fight these SOBs and lost… But we've done all we can for Reach… Best we can do is live to fight another day… There is one chance to get off Reach, who knows what it is?"

Ray asked as another ODST: Corporal Douglas 'Dug' Barsky spoke up, Ray turned to look at the marksman ODST.

"Pillar of Autumn, she's still parked at Aszod… We asking Captain Keyes for a ride, Captain?"

The ODST asked, hefting his M392 DMR as Ray nodded, Nick spoke up from the Pelican's cockpit.

"We're be approaching the base in 5 minutes, hanger bays seem to be clear… We're taking the Wraith, right?"

The ODST asked, making sure his MA37 Assault Rifle had enough ammo in case he needed it.

"That's right, everyone… Make sure you have enough ammo, Wraith might have a small armory aboard but we need to get the job done."

Ray ordered, he checked his knapsack on his back and made sure it had 6 or so clips for his M7 SMG, he made sure his M6C Magnum pistols were good and then looked for his M6D backup Magnum and found it in his knapsack.

"Good."

Ray said as Thomas: Alpha 2's Assault expert checked his M6g Magnum and then moved onto his M45, he only has 3 magazines for his side arm and 20 more rounds for his shotgun but shrugged.

"I'm good, Sam?"

Thomas asked as Private Samantha 'Sam' Carley looked at her M41 SPNKR Rocket launcher which has 2 more rockets for the weapon, she carried a B55 Battle Rifle and a M6G Magnum besides the weapon.

"I'm ready, Damian?"

She asked as the Sergeant looked at his SRS99 Sniper and M6C Magnum, both had around 4 Magazines left for them.

"Pretty sure we're all good… Nick, we landing yet?"

Damian asked as the sniper ODST moved to the cockpit as he nodded, the Pelican dropship landed in a hanger bay as the ODST squad hopped out of the dropship and looked at the Prowler, it had enough room for the squad and would be able to get them to the Autumn within minutes.

"See if you can dock the Pelican to its hanger bay, we could always use a dropship, Nick, see if the AI is still active…. And fire up the engines we're leaving now."

Ray ordered as the ODST squad swept the hanger bay, Rey knew the Covenant couldn't be far behind them, a Banshee or ground patrol had to have spotted them on their way here.

"Everyone aboard, we're contact Keyes on the way to the Autumn."

Ray ordered as the Pelican was docked with the Prowler, the squad of ODSTs ran up the ramp just as the doors exploded, Hunter and Elite squads swarmed in and roared at the Prowler just as it blasted out of the hanger.

(Sahara-class Prowler, Wraith, bridge.)

Ray took his seat at the captain's chair, he felt wrong doing so as the man commanding the ship had probably been killed, but he knew the Captain of the ship would be happy to see it used to save lives.

"Hello, Captain Rayden Jackman, I am AI Serial number BR 5072371, but I am more commonly known as 'Brianna'…"

Ray heard a voice on the ship say, he wanted to say something but simply turned to Nick.

"Contact the Autumn and tell them we're coming in… Brianna? We're Bravo-Two. We're… The Remains of a failed ODST Platoon that tried to take back New Alexandria… We're all getting off planet now, can you tell me if there's any Banshee or Covenant cruisers around the Autumn…"

Ray ordered as the Prowler flew through the skies, Ray would have ordered the cloak engaged but it would draw power from the other systems and would be useless due to the engines being run.

"There is one CCS-Class Covenant Battlecruiser over Aszod, and I'm detecting numerous Covenant ground forces in Aszod… There's an 82% Chance of punching through Covenant forces to reach Pillar of Autumn."

Brianna reported as the Prowler smashed through a charging Banshee, shaking the Prowler but doing little damage.

"Better than nothing, Nick, Keyes?"

Ray asked as the captain's face appeared on the screen in front of Ray.

"This is Captain Keyes of the Pillar of Autumn, what do you need, son?"

The captain asked as the Prowler broke through the clouds.

"Captain Keyes, this is Captain Rayden Jackman, Bravo Two… We're ODSTs… We're pulling back from New Alexandria on the UNSC Wraith… I don't suppose you have room for one more Squad of ODSTS?"

Ray asked as Captain Keyes was about to respond when Nick spoke up.

"Ray, there's a squad of soldiers by the Mac Cannon… NOBLE TEAM!? I thought they were all killed!"

Nick said as Keyes responded to the exchange.

"Evac those Spartans then getting aboard, soldier, we're retreating from Reach and we're not leaving anyone behind."

Author notes

Yes, I know, it isn't the best first chapter. Also, for those of you wondering, Bravo Two is going to be majorly affecting the events of the Halo games. I got this idea after thinking how cool it would be for a squad of ODSTs to be fighting with Master Chief and them. Next chapter will be next Wednesday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
