Chapter 1
1600 Hours, Escape pod, Feb.13, 2552
The Escape pod was about to crash at the velocity it was going. "Are you sure we'll make it?" Andy asked anxiously. "I'm sure Andy, It'll hold," I said. My name is Mitch but, you can call me Master Chief. "WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT!" Will yelled. The Escape pod crashed at a ledge and everyone made it but me, I fell over the edge catching myself before I fell to my death. "You O.K?" Andy asked. "Yea, just a little bruised," I said as I watched my energy shield go up. I wonder why Captain Keyes only sent Will, Andy, and me on the mission…I thought. I saw an incoming Covenant ship and I told everyone to hide. They did and I handed them all a pistol, assault rifle, and 4 grenades. I myself had a pistol and a sniper rifle. The ship dropped off some Elites and some Grunts. They were easy and we wiped through them like air. I heard another ship coming and saw that is was our ship dropping some marines off and I noticed one of 'em was Jeremy, my school friend. "Yo, Mitch!" he said with enthusiasm. "Please refer to me as 'Master Chief' ok?" I whispered in his ear. "Ok," he whispered back.
