The new squad

Narrator POV

Even before Chief left the ship, he could hear the noise of millions of people here to see him. He wasn't used to this kind of noise. This wasn't the hustle and bustle of a military, or the screaming of dying civilians. No, this sounded as if they had set up a fair. Chief had never actually been to a fair. He had heard of them but no one had described them very well.

Chief POV

(He just stepped of the ship)

I never could have prepared myself enough for what I was about to see.

Millions of people were there to see me. It also turns out that they had set up a fair, and quite a large one at that. There was a single path straight through the middle which I and my superior officers marched in two straight lines completely oblivious to the crowd. We were heading for a pelican at the end of the pathway. We then entered the pelican which, according to the pilot, would take us to Doctor Halsey's lab.

"So, to get right to the point, Halsey has a surprise for you and it will affect your decision." said Laskey.

"What decision?" I asked.

"You have the choice to either, A, take a month's leave or, B, take command of your own squad and calm down the last couple groups of the covenant." Laskey stated, quite frankly in fact.

"What is the Dr. going to show me?" I asked

"Well if I said, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it?" Laskey said

(It was about another hour before they reached the lab)

Dr. Halsey POV

I never thought I would ever be able to create another set of SPARTANS, especially without any casualties in the augmentation process. The new SPARTAN Vs, they were volunteers, not unlike the SPARTAN IVs. There were a total of five of them. They all had special augments unique to themselves. (Chief then enters the lab unaccompanied.)

"How are you Chief?"

"You asked for me?" Chief said

"Yes ,I would like you to meet some people. You may enter." (Just then the SPARTAN Vs entered)

Chief POV

(SPARTANS are left-right)

There, all lined up in a row were five SPARTANS one had a set of black with white highlights Hayabusa armor, a gravity hammer on his back and two energy swords at his hip, one with white with blue highlights orbital armor he was holding a SAW and had an assault rifle on his back, one with solid orange EOD armor holding a plasma launcher with a concussion rifle strapped to his back, and two females in blue with teal highlights both dual wielding SMGs

"Chief, if you want, this will be your new squad."
