A/N: All right. One last point I have to make before I move on. The Justice Chronicles, as this story is called, was originally intended to be the sixth part in an original series of mine called " A Typical Bad School Year". Please forgive my misuse of grammar and language of that title, I wrote the original draft of that piece when I was just in third grade. However, in recent years, I've abandoned the early work so I'll do my best to give you a general overview of the story.

This story, like the School Year series before it, centers around a mixed group of characters (some originals, some celebrity "guests" and other borrowed characters from my favorite films, novels and TV shows, as well as real life people, actors, actresses, models etc) who ban together against a villain (in the previous work, the villain would be the teacher of the group of students, but in this one, the Covenant take the role of villain) while they battle through personal issues such as romantic tension and their own demons.

Okay, I'm sorry for the long notes but if I wouldn't have written them, I would've gotten reviews asking exactly what was happening in the story and who the characters are. Still, if you have any questions and/or comments, critique etc, please feel free to write a short review. Now onto the story.

One last thing, the opening sentence mentions a wedding. This occurred in my previous installment to the School Year franchise and involved an OC Sarah Klena and Lance Armstrong (the woman I based Sarah off of has a huge crush on him so I wrote the wedding scene as a tribute to her.) Also, I will name some characters as "agents", like my character Agent 2. I will do my best to document the characters' names along with their agent identification number (for example, I'll state at the end of this chapter, Agent 2- Me and so on for each of the characters identified as such.) I'll only do this once, when the numbers first come up for that character, mostly I'll use their actual names. Please bear with me. I have no choice but to do it this way because the book in which I wrote the characters' names in, along with their ID is no longer with me so I'm making it up as I go along.

Chapter One: First Strike

A few months after Sarah and Lance's wedding, things were getting slowly back to normal. I was now living with Agents 302 and 303 under personal circumstances. One day the team gathered for a party to acknowledge the five year anniversary of our first encounter with our high school English teacher, Mardi Esposito. In the midst of the festivities, a covenant dropship came down to us and out poured Covenant Grunts, several dozen Elites and a handful of Jackals.

"My fellow agents, it's time that we have a little fun with the Covenant, if you know what I mean." "Let's go for it!" We shouted a war cry and assembled our formation. Sarah and Lance held rocket launchers, I held fragmentation grenades and a DMR, and the rest of the team bore SMGs. We rushed into the fray, the single shots from my DMR silenced a cluster of Grunts who screamed in cowardice as they tried to escape their fate.

Out of nowhere, Agent 306 screamed in frustration, "Let's hope that whatever these things are don't get past us. Our base was an old rehab center I ran, and Agents 307 and 308 were participants in it." I glanced at the two furious women that she mentioned. Despite their agility on the battlefield, they were lesbian lovers; a fact that I didn't fully support but accepted on their behalf. When the last Elite fell, we instantly relaxed our weary trigger fingers.

"I hate battles like that, they can take a lot out of you." Agent 307 said under her breath

"Well, remember what I said during your Orientation, "To be an agent of this alliance, you must give your mind, body and soul to your other agents. Most important remains the ability to have strength beyond strength." Believe me, you've all got that strength, whether you know it or not." I told them

"Oh Agent 1, I love you. I don't know what those things were but I promise that I won't let them hurt you." I kissed her softly on her lips.

Footsteps interrupted my thoughts. I could see the outline of the figure against the orange glow of the bonfire we'd set up but didn't recognize him until we were face to face. "Hey Jon, what are you doing here, I thought you were on tour?"

The man shrugged and sighed, "You know with all the alien activity going on, the record company postponed the tour until things calm down."

"That doesn't sound good." Agent 308 said shyly

"It isn't but this means I'll free to assist you if you need it." He answered

A/N: Okay characters in this opening scene...

Although I haven't been called by my Agent ID yet, as stated in the above note, my character is "Agent 2".

Agents 302 and 303: Aimee Brooks and Eric Jungmann. These were my favorite actors at the time I wrote this scene.

Agents 306, 307 and 308: Mary, Megan and Graham; characters from the film But I'm A Cheerleader.

Agent 1: Yuna from the Final Fantasy video game series. Like I said, I wrote this when I was eight years old. Don't judge me.

And the final addition to the scene, the unnamed figure in the last moment of the scene: Jon Bon Jovi. Growing up, especially when it came to writing this and my earlier work, Bon Jovi was a big inspiration. Thank God I've grown past the glam metal stage of my life!

There is much more to come. Please read and review!
