David was coming back from his training on Earth when a Warthog pulled alone a side of him and a Private said, "Sir. You need to come back to base the Covenant have come out of slip-space. You need to report in and then you will get weapons."
David was a Spartan that was deadlier with any weapon he can get his hand on. David knew something like this was going to happen. The Covenant was closing in on him and his friends. He got into the passenger seat and the Private looked at the Spartan next to him. The Private hadn't seen a Spartan up close before or talked to one. Then David looked at the Private and said, "When did they come out of slip-space."
The Private turned the wheel of the Warthog to get them on the trail leading back to base. The Private said, "One hour ago. They are waiting for something. All the ships are getting ready. But something isn't right. They would attack right away."
David checks it out the plan with his AI Alice. It was a personal AI. She said, "What he say's is true David. The Covenant is waiting for something to happen."
David shook his head and said, "This is going to be fun."
The Private looked at him and said, "What was that Sir."
David looked at the Pvt. and said, "Nothing talking out loud."
The Pvt. nodded his head and said, "Ok. I am going to drop you at the main compound. Where you are going to meet the Admiral on what, you are going to do."
David let out a sigh which Alice picked up and said, "David. I know but you are a soldier. And we are in a war."
In a whisper so Alice and he can hear it said, "Alice. You know you are a big pain in the butt. I mean that in a good way."
Alice giggled and said, "Back at you."
The Pvt. reached the compound and on the steps was the Admiral. David shook his head and said, "I hate this."
The only time the Admiral comes to meet David was something was wrong. David got out of the warthog and said, "Thanks."
The Pvt. nodded his head and Alice said, "You are going to have a fun meeting with him."
The Pvt. drove off and David walked up to the Admiral then removed his helmet. David felt the wind up against his face and said, "Now that was better."
The Admiral said, "There isn't anytime. There is so much to cover."
David spit into the ground because he had a bad taste in his mouth. Once the taste was out of his mouth, he put his helmet back on and followed the Admiral. Alice said, "Admiral. What is going on?" She used the speakers on David armor.
The Admiral said, "The Covenant had entered Sol system. And it is our job to make sure they don't reach your target."
David shook his head and said, "BS."
Then someone said, "You know that isn't the language I like you using."
David and the Admiral both turned around and saw it was Dr. Hallow. David smiled and said, "Sorry Mom. But it is hard for me not to say it."
And the Admiral nodded his head to her Dr. Hallow walked up to him and said, "It is all right. I am going to run some test during the meeting."
Alice showed up the Dr. pad and said, "You can. I have removed the safety's I have put in."
David said, "Where are we going."
The Admiral looked at him and said, "You are going to defend one of the MAC Gun reactor's in Europe."
David stopped and said, "You know Admiral. This is getting more and more uglier then I like."
Alice used the speaker in the helmet and said, "At least you are on the ground."
David sighed and started walking again. Then Dr. Hallow checks him over and saw that his heart was racing and he was upset big time. Alice smiled and said, "You know. I am getting upset about the mission. You want us to baby sit a reactor."
The Admiral shook his head and said, "You are not going alone you will have about three battalion's of marines there and you will be in command of them."
Alice moved back into the suit and said, "BS." Hallow smiled and David shook his head. They walked for a few more minutes until they came to a large room.
David looked around and saw that there were people here also. The Doctor patted his shoulder telling him he was ready. He moved his hand to let her know he understood. Alice accessed the main computer and looked at the plan. David moved to a corner of the room and stood there while everyone talked. Alice came back and said, "You are going to be having company when you get there David. The Covenant has lunched their attack. There is a big ship up there."
David looked toward the roof and said, "Alice. I want you to keep updating on the battle up there."
Alice showed up on a small screen in his helmet and said, "I am already doing that. I wanted to be ready."
David could see that Alice was on the ball. The Admiral waved David over and he walked up to the Admiral. He said, "What is up Sir." When a Pelican pilot looked at him and said, "You are the package I am taking. I am Flight Captain Erin. Or my call sign is Eagle."
David looked over the person and said, "You know I have met you once before." David removed his helmet and said, "I was about six years old when you dropped my and my friends in the Forest of Brazil."
Erin looked at him and said, "Now you talk about it you were the one who told the Sergeant to 'Eat Leather' right?"
David nodded his head and said, "You have it right."
Erin smiled and said, "I will get you there and ship in supplies for you and your men." David smiled again.
The Admiral said, "Ok. You have to get going after the meeting."
David put his helmet back on when Alice said, "We have some bad news."
David said, "What."
Alice took two minutes to collect the data better and said, "The Covenant has lunched drop ships."
He looked at Erin and Admiral then said, "Look's like we are leaving right now."
Erin and the Admiral looked at him and the Admiral said, "What is wrong."
David said, "Alice. Patch it over to the Admiral's pad. And Erin's also."
Alice then went to her task then sent the files over to them. The Admiral looked it over and said, "You are going right now."
Erin smiled and said, "About time." Then he was gone.
David looked at the Admiral and said, "You know Sir. You are a good soldier. If I don't see you again, it has been a real honor to work with you."
David turned around and walked out of the meeting room. He stopped at the armory to grab some weapons. Alice used the speakers in his helmet and said, "Did I hear some pride behind that."
He shook his head and said, "What are we going to face once we get there."
Alice was quiet of about five minutes and then said, "By the sounds of it Grunts, Jackals, Elites, and two new covenant types but there is no data on them."
David sighed and grabbed a Battle Rifle which would work for medium to long range. But he would need something very close. He walked over to a table and saw that there were Pistol's, SGM (Sub Machine Gun), and Shotgun's. He picked up the Shotgun and grabbed a whole lot of ammo for the Battle Rifle and the Shotgun. Then he grabbed about 10 Frag Grenades. Then he was ready.
Alice said, "You know. I want to make it out alive."
David giggled and said, "Don't worry. You know the back up plan don't you."
They had a back up plan if David should get killed Alice would set the power supply to overload then prayed. He walked outside to see the Pelican lifted off and that is when the same Pvt. that picked him up and brought him here was waiting for him. He smiled and said, "You are my ride."
The Pvt. nodded his head and said, "Yup. I thought you might need a ride. And let's say I am going to be there with you."
David rolled his eyes and said, "Good." But inside David was swearing up a storm. He hoped into the Warthog and the Pvt. drove to where the Pelican was waiting for him. David didn't say anything until he reached the Pelican and said, "Ok. I want everyone aboard the Pelican in 30 seconds."
Alice giggled and said, "You know you are going to have some fun."
He smiled and said, "You are going to have some new data on the new covenant type."
He got into the Pelican himself and the Hog was attached to the underside the Pelican's tail then it lifted off. David stood on the edge of ramp looking out at the scenery. Alice updated all the data about the Covenant. When someone said, "You know me I am going to have some fun. Every one of them I kill I am going to keep a score."
David shook his head and said, "Alice. Play David 3 please." Alice started to play the music thought out the speakers on the Pelican. David smiled and said, "Now that is better."
Everyone in the Pelican looked at David and someone said, "You know sir. This is good music."
David didn't hear him so Alice said, "Sorry about that Marine. When the music is playing, he goes into a trance which means he is getting ready."
Three hours later Eagle said, "Ok. We are reaching the location."
David smiled and turned around to look at the men. All of them checked their gear and David said, "Listen up. We are going to be holding a MAC Gun's reactor so that means we fight and we fight. This means we will have to face the ugly bastards here on your turf. Lock and load your weapons and get ready to meet the ugly bastards."
David sat down to check his gear also. He put a clip into the Battle Rifle and then pumped some shells into the Shotgun.
Alice said, "The Covenant has landed some troops about six clicks away."
David smiled because he was going to get some pay back on the Covenant's asses. Erin circled twice then landed. David jumped off of the drop ship and walked a few yards away. He looked around and smiled because he always wanted to visit Europe.
When someone came running over and said, "Staff Sergeant Andrews. Leader of the Lions."
David looked at him and removed his helmet and said, "What is the news."
Andrews took a step back and saw that David was no more then 18 years of age. Then said, "We have set up fire pits every two meters. Rockets launchers are in the second row and the Warthogs are in standby to support the front."
David spit into the ground and said, "Good. I am in command now. That mean you are my second. I am going to say this once. If I get killed, my AI will destroy my body along with the Covenant around me is that understood." He nodded his head and pasted the word alone. David walked over to where the command center was located. He walked in and had a look. Everyone saluted him and he nodded his head.
He walked over to a screen and Alice showed up. She smiled and said, "I have some new data about the two new types. Hold for a moment."
David put his helmet back on and said, "Alice. Trouble."
She sighed. Which meant something was wrong. David gave her the personality of a human. Sometimes he thinks she is more human then AI. She used his helmet speaker and said, "The Covenant are on the move. They are coming here with about two dozen ghosts and about seven thousand Grunts, three hundred Jackals, one hundred Elites and the others are staying back for some reason."
David ran out of the command bunker and got into position. Andrews jumped in the hole with him and said, "We have mined the area in front of us."
David nodded his head and said, "Ok. I want you to move the men to their positions and wait for my order to fire. Alice. Get Eagle behind some cover because I don't want them hitting the drop ship. Get a grid the battle fields."
Alice went to her tasks and the ones he didn't say. David moved his Battle Rifle up and got ready. Andrews came back and said, "Snipers will target the Elites."
David zoomed on the Covenant coming at him. When they stopped for some reason. Then a Ghost went out into the field and it was blown up. David moved out of his hole and fired a shot at a Grunt. The Grunt fell down when the others around him screamed. They started to run but the Elites stopped them. David looked at Andrews and said, "Hold here until you are over run then fall back."
David was gone before Andrews could give him his answer. Alice said, "What are you planning David."
David runs back inside the command post and found a Sniper Rifle. Alice said, "Shooting the bad guys are we."
David ran to a building and then went to the roof to target the enemy better. There was something about the movement of the Covenant they would come running toward the enemy. Unless they were waiting for back up. David reached the top of the building and settled in for some shots.
When a Pvt. said, "Spotter sir."
David nodded his head and said, "Now I want you to scan the enemy for anything that might look different. A different colored Elite." David went into his sniper trance. Alice would mark the target for him when there was one.
Two minutes later Alice focused on an Elite in the back row. He was wearing gold Armor. David smiled and said, "Andrews. When I fire shoot at the Jackals. Tell the snipers Elites. Warthog's Air cover."
Andrews clicked his com. Once as he understood. David was a god to the Elite that was about to meet its maker. Alice shut down the speakers for a moment and said, "David. God will lead us to victory over the enemy."
When she reached the end of the sentence he fired the shot and nailed the Elite right in the throat. The rest of the unit open fire on the enemy. David fired again and this time nailed a red one. The Grunts were going all over the place. David fired again until there were no more targets out there. Which took him thirty minutes to do? Alice updated him on the progress of the battle upstairs.
Andrews walked up to him and said, "We didn't have any wounded. But something about this isn't right. They would come attacking us without stopping."
David removed his helmet and rubbed his hair. He was trained to kill without stopping or until there wasn't a enemy left standing. Alice said, "David. We have incoming."
David put his helmet back on and saw that there was Banshees coming at them. David said, "Company."
The Warthogs fired on the Banshees then the Rocket Launchers fired at the Banshees.
David then said, "Alice. Dragon 3."
Alice and David had being together for a long time and they create some special programs to have some fun with the enemy.
Andrews looked at him and said, "What do you have planned."
David looked at him and said, "They are going to clear the mine field. Then they are going to come and get us. Put I have something planned. I want you to fall back when they clear the mine field."
Andrews nodded his head and went to pass the word. David walked to the Pelican and said, "Eagle."
Erin was listening to some music when David jumped into the back of the Pelican which when a Spartan jumps they can land softly. But David wanted to wake up Erin the fun way. Erin sat up and said, "What is up. I was about to dose off."
David removed his helmet and said, "I want you to get back to base and tell the Admiral we are going to have some big company every soon." Then there was a explosion adding to the period to his sentence.
Erin smiled and said, "Ok."
David looked at him and said, "I want bomber's to hit the forest because there is something in there. We will cover you."
David put his helmet back on and walked outside. Eagle fired up the engines and lifted off. All the banshees were destroyed. David ordered everyone to fall back. He walked to the middle of the field and got ready when something rolled out of the forest. Alice said, "Wraiths."
David hoped that Eagle can get back to base in time. He opened a com to Andrews and said, "When I am out of the road fire everything at the Covenant but Rockets. They are going to bring in Banshees on the next round."
The David activated Dragon 3 and was gone from everyone's sight. His armor was like the Master Chief's but with some new up-grades. His shield is on when he was in close range. He wasn't as white as the Master Chief was in Halo: The Flood. Dr. Hallow warned David to take it easy with the new programs. He trained against Warthogs, a Scorpion Tank and for some kicks they thrown in a Pelican. David would remove his armor when he wasn't in combat. Alice was always watching him. When he was running towards the armor she was ready with the robots to help him with his armor. David run thought the mine field without leaving a footprint in the earth. Once he got close he attacked the Covenant with sword out of the hand armor and he started to kill all of them one by one. Then Alice said, "You know David. We have some bombers coming in about 3 minutes."
David smiled and then started to move back to the unit. As soon as he left the battle field where he was fighting the Covenant.
Three Wraith tanks came out of the forest and fired at him and then the rest of the Covenant fried at him also. He moved from side to side to evade the shots. And once he crossed the mine field the bombers came in and bombed the forest. When he got hit in the back which sent him flying though the air. Andrews hopped into a warthog and two others hopped him with him to get David out of there. Alice said, "David. Talk to me." David moaned with meant he was still alive.
