Halo (The lost Chapters)

/Quarantine/

Fan story done by: Man Of Hope (Emmanuel Chrisohoides)

Heads up:

The story takes place between the Halo and Halo 2 storyline. Has nothing to do with the true story. The location is on one of the Halo rings nearest to the covenant home world.

Storyline:

As the master Chief continues on his quest to stop the covenant and destroy the Halo Rings Skillful soldiers who go by the name of ODST are sent to different Rings to eliminate any threats that can interfere with the destruction of the Rings. Eight reconnaissance units of made of four ODST soldiers each are sent to a ring near to earth in search of any existing life. Little do they know the covenant has already landed on the ring and it is infested with the parasitic race called the flood. In panic the covenant and UNSC declares an immediate evacuation of deployed reconnaissance units and all army personnel. This evacuation is called S.S.D. (Silent Swift Departure) Many covenant and Human UNSC units are left behind and left to fend for themselves.

The story follows the survival and journey of a UNSC ODST soldier who goes by the name of Benjamin Wolf that is left behind and gets separated from his 4th seat reconnaissance squad.

Chapter 1:

/An uneasy feeling/

16:00 hours, aboard the Spirit of fire. Eight minuets before. Departure:

"I'm telling you, this entire mission is a suicide run!" shouted Dante from across the locker room to Benjamin. "They're sending us in to get ride of us!" "Calm down Dante, It's just a simple recon mission." explained Benjamin with a chuckle. "Yeah, that's what you think Ben!" said Dante slamming his locker shut. "Ben, think for a second. Why would command send us down there to do recon work if the ring is overrun by covenant forces?" Benjamin felt a slight chill down his spine when he heard that. Dante put a hand on Benjamin's shoulder. "Come on Ben, let's go get our equipment." Dante left the room and Benjamin just sat on a bench nearby with his hands on his lap. Hearing what Dante had just told him made him remember his father. His father had been part of the Spartan training program years ago when he signed up for it. His father had trained and become a successful Spartan along side the legendary Master Chief. Benjamin's father was dead now. He was killed in action a year after his graduation from the Spartan training program. He was found with a sword wound in his gut from an Elite's energy sword. His body was brought back and buried days later. They say he was still clutching a picture of his son Benjamin close to his chest when he was killed. He still held onto it when he was buried at his funeral. Benjamin eyes began to tear but he refused to morn. His father wouldn't approve of it. As an ODST soldier he swore he would make his father proud. He stood up and proceeded to the armory to suit-up.

Eight minuets later in launch pod bay:

Benjamin stood facing his launch pod with uneasiness in his eyes. This entire mission was starting to freak him out. What if Dante was right? What if this mission was a total suicide run? Benjamin griped his Sniper tight as he thought about this. Suddenly someone gave him a slap on the back that made him jump in surprise. "Hey relax buddy!" Said Dante with a smile. "What do you want Dante? Are you hear to freak me out some more?" asked Benjamin annoyed. "No no I just wanted to apologize." Replied Dante looking away. "Your right Ben, this mission is probably just a simple recon mission. I didn't mean to irk you like that before. I was just a little worried is all." Benjamin smiled and gave a friendly punch on Dante's arm. "It's ok bro, I forgive you!" They both laughed out loud and started playfully punching each other. "Nock it off you two!" Shouted a Commanding officer from across the Launch pod bay. "Sorry sir!" Shouted Benjamin and Dante at the same time with a salute. "Ok Ben, grab your helmet and let's do this thing!" "ODST! Hurrah!" Shouted Ben and Dante as they entered their launch pods. "30 seconds before launch." Announced a women from a loudspeaker. Benjamin slipped on his helmet and gave Dante the thumbs up. The pod doors closed with a slow steam like sound like in one of those science fiction movies. Benjamin placed his Sniper in the weapon holder beside him in the pod and grabbed the handles on his seat tightly. "Launch in 8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1… Launch!" Ben held on tight as the pod gently drifted in to space and into the rings orbit. These pod launches always got his adrenaline pumping. Suddenly the pod started rumbling and picking up speed. The rings gravity finally started pulling the pods in. Ben held onto his seat so tight he felt as if his hands were going to get stuck how they were. The pod's windows showed a quick view of the rings surface but that was quickly cut off by the white and orange fire that appeared around the pod's outer shell.
