I awoke with a start. The morning sun glared down on me as I lay in the alleyway. I immediately felt a difference in temperature from the night before. Only one thought was in my head. Hot.

The ground around me was still beaten and scarred from the evil monsters who attacked. My HUD told me it was 11 am. The MA5 that had saved my life rested on the wall.

God damn it, I was still alive in this living hell. I shook of my drowsiness has I rose from the ground. I turned on my friend or foe tags and peaked around the corner, deserted. Any signs of life had either been killed by the enemy or ran away in the chaos.

I crouched low and tried my best to ignore the skeleton of a once great metropolis has I went along. Now that the sun was out, I got a good view of all the victims. Charred, burned, strewn everywhere. Random pieces of bone littered the streets and sidewalk.

All of this made me hate the Covenant even more. I jumped when I heard a sound, the sound of human screams. It was coming from around the corner. I sped as fast as possible to corner and peaked around. There stood two large, monkey men. One of the held a young woman by the arm with his large paw while prodding the human.

I scowled and raised my MA5, placing the sights right onto the head of the harasser. Taking a breath, I blinked once and pulled the trigger of the rifle.

After I looked through my one shots, I saw this one was this one was the most popular with almost 100 views on the first chapter. So after much consideration, I have decided to make this a mini series. Don't expect often updates though.
