Chapter 2: The Covenant Cruiser
The transport was not very big. It could fit about fifteen elites. The transport was the same color of all the other Covenant vehicles, purple. Master Chief closed the door of the transport, and he went to the driver's seat. He slowly sat down and placed Cortana onto the control panel.
"You know how to drive this?" questioned Master Chief.
"Let me have a minute to program it," said Cortana as she closed her eyes and absorbed all the data from the computer to her.
After a short while, Cortana opened her eyes. The Covenant transport started to move toward the huge Covenant cruiser. Once the ship was close to the cruiser it started to slow down. The transport went into a large open space filled with other transports. The Covenant started to head toward the ship, not knowing who really was in it. Cortana landed the transport close to the Covenant that were coming.
Master Chief picked Cortana and his assault rifle up and crouched by the door. He heard the Covenant talking louder and louder as they came closer. His motion sensor detected eight moving Covenant. One of the Covenant came toward to transport door and opened it. John-117 stuck a plasma grenade on the elite, and the elite jumped out of the transport screaming.
After he heard the explosion, he rushed out of the transport, and he saw five elites, but only three of them were equipped with guns. There were also two fully equipped jackals. The jackals were close by so he slammed one down. The other one started to flee, but Master Chief shot him in the back. The three elites started to shoot their plasma rifles, but John-117 hid behind the transport. He pulled out his pistol and zoomed in on one of the elites. Master Chief quickly shot the elite's plasma grenade and it exploded, killing all five of the elites.
"Nice shot," commented Cortana.
"Thanks, so what do we do now?" he replied.
"My readings show that the ship's control panel is about 250 meters that way," said Cortana as she put a nav point on Master Chief's helmet, " but I recommend for you to scavenge some Covenant weapons on those other transports first, I have a feeling you'll need it"
