I have always wondered what Chief was doing during the months between Halo 4 and 5. So I am going to write what I think he was doing. This will not all be one connected plot, but rather a series of separate missions with separate goals and objectives. This is probably and alternate universe because there might be books and comics on this that I haven't gotten to. Anyways I hope you enjoy.
Lasky opened the door do the pelican hanger and entered. He watched as a pelican was slowly guided in. The pelican came in contact with the ground and opened its back door. Coming out from the pelican were a unit of marines and none other than Chief himself.
It had been exactly one month since the event of New Phoenix. Everything changed that day. A new enemy had arrived and it took some sacrifices to win this first encounter. A sacrifice that most deeply affected Master Chief.
Lasky approached Chief and shook his hand. "I see you're back from the ONI debriefings. That was faster than I expected," Lasky said as he crossed his arms.
Chief acknowledged Lasky's presence, but didn't respond to him.
"We will get you a team later if that is ok," Lasky said as he turned to start walking. Chief nodded and followed Lasky. "But in the mean time we have missions you could run."
Chief didn't have any reaction to this. He just continued to walk. "I understand if you don't want to run the mission. I know this isn't the best time."
Chief turned to him and spoke, "Give me the mission."
Lasky was actually not surprised. He knew Chief well enough to know that he would accept the mission, but he wanted to give him the option. "Right this way Chief," Lasky said while leading them to an elavator which lead to the command deck. The elavator door closed and went straight up to the top floor almost instantly.
Lasky approached the main console and interred a chip which brought up a map of the surface of a planet. Lasky turned to Chief and began the mission debriefing, "We have received word that the Covenant terrorist Gek 'Lhar on the surface of Palamok," Lasky clicked a button which brought up a close up image on one of the forerunner structures, "Intelligence says he is somewhere inside this building. You mission, insert behind enemy lines and kill the target. You will be going in alone for a more stealthy approach."
"That isn't my specialty."
"As long as you get the job done. Infinity will keep a safe distance from the planet. We don't want them to know we're here. You will be flying most the trip in a pelican. You should be able to get in undetected. You'll be given a Warthog for the ground trip," Lasky handed Cheif a file, "Here is all you need to know about this terrorist. Get in and get out fast."
"Will do." Chief exited the bridge and back to the pelican bay. He grabbed and loaded an assault rifle. He put the gun on his back and then proceeded to pick up and inspect a magnum. Lastly Chief picked up a rocket launcher and put it in the pelican. He climbed inside the pelican and closed the back door. The pelican lifted off and launched out of the hanger.
Laky watched as the pelican flew by the window and towards the covenant planet. Palmer came up behind him, "I think I have the team to give Chief."
Lasky turned around and answered, "Show them to me."
First chapter in the books. The next chapter will definitely be longer as it will deal with most of the mission. I hope you all enjoyed, and if not then don't read the next chapters.
