Chapter 1

"Sir wake up" said Serina the long asleep AI of the Spirit of Fire as she thawed out Captain James Cutter

"Where are we Serina" he said as he got out of the cryo pod.

"I do not know sir, but there is a ship that looks like a triangle approaching at high speed it looks of human origin but does not match anything in my data bases."

On the bridge of said ship the captain was looking at the scans of the ship "it must be the rebel's sir "said the trooper at the navigation station "full speed ahead fire when in range"

Back on the spirit of fire "sir the ship is accelerating and appear to be charging some sort of weapons"

"Serina give me a ETA on that ship." "Already done sir, ETA is 5 minutes." "What is the status of our weapons?"

"MAC gun online and archer missile pods A thorough J are operable, Three Shiva nukes" "reactor status?"

"Max we can go is 150%, orders captain?"

"Move to engage, charge the MAC gun and load a shredder round"

"On it sir" "and Serina wake up the Spartans." "On it sir, do you want me to wake up the ODSTs and the Marians?"

"Wake them up and tell Forge and the Spartans to report to the bridge ASAP." (This part is from the POV of red leader/Red 1 I changed the names of the Spartans so red leader/Red1's name is Kyle, Red 2's name is Curtis, and Red 3's name is Brandon.)

As I got out of the cryo pod I groaned as my muscles where stiff from not moving, I looked around the cryo bay ant saw my team getting out of there pods just then I got a message on my HUD it said to go with Forge to the bridge "Sergeant Forge sir we are to report to the bridge" "Ok lets go" As I accessed the privet team com I told the rest of read team "go to the armory and await my orders" I got two green acknowledgment lights winked back at me. When forge and I got to the bridge the whole bridge crew was at their battle stations out the front viewport there was that mysteries ship. "Reporting as ordered sir" I said as me and Forge each snapped to attention

"At ease" Captain Cutter said returning the solute "exactly 7 minutes ago I was woke up from cryo to find this ship," He gestured out the viewport at the closing ship "before we could establish communication the ship started to advance on us it charged some sort of weapons and is currently moving to engage us."

"With all due respect sir why are you telling us this?" I asked.

"Because it will be your job to board, capture that vessel, and clear it of all hostiles" as I started to walk toward the elevator Cutter said "Forge go get an ODST suit you're going in with the Spartans"

I contacted red team "get your weapons ready expect heavy resistance."

(In the armory) "Yes sir" said red two shutting down the team com. He then proceeded to pick up two rocket launchers, two assault rifles, two magnums two SMGs, energy swords, a Katonah, a sniper rifle, and two grenade launchers. Red three grabbed a shotgun, an assault rifle, a Katonah, and minigun. As they finished getting there gear Red one and SGT Forge came from the elevator Forge went over to put on a suit of ODST armor Red one went over to pick up two assault rifles, two 2ft. Combat knifes, a silent sound rifle, a gauss rifle, a Spartan laser, two battle rifles, Katonah, two energy swords, one Shiva nuke, and a pack of 20 pounds of C12.
