The first chapter. I'm still new to writing so I'll try and try to make the next chapter better.
The Reach Spartan's. Chapter 1:mission start. Our story begins at
Boneyard, where a lone Spartan named Keith has been unconscious for
fourteen hours. He went under when several elites threw sticky
grenades on to him. He was almost killed if it had not been for his
armor lock down and his self healing unit. He was badly hurt, but he
would life. The fight had only been several hours ago.
(flashback to nineteen hours ago) Keith
watched in dismay as everyone was being slain right in front of his
eyes. Some of them were his friends. But he was already fighting for his life without having to worry
about the others. An Elite general had him pinned to the ground. He
was holding the Elites energy-sword from going though his chest, while
the Elite kept his D.M.R held firmly on the ground. He had to do something
fast, each second the sword came closer. He struggled to get his gun up, but each time he did the sword got closer to him With a final act he was able to get his
leg free and kicked his enemy off, he rolled back onto his feet. Then aimed at its head. The Elite went
down with one shot. He gazed around to see the marines being picked
off one by one. But he could not save all of them, and Six and Emile
got further with every passing second. Keith could not worry about them, he had to escape. He jumped from the cliff on
to an Elite, plunging his knife into its head . But it did not go unnoticed. Several
other covenant opened fire on him. "Damn it." He screamed while taking
cover. He reloaded his gun, then fired back, taking out a couple of
Grunts, Skirmishes, and Elites. But then another Elite was able to sneak
behind him and grab the back of his helmet, it punched him across the face then pinned him on the wall.
Keith whacked him across the face with his gun sending the Elite flying
back, screaming in pain. Keith switched his weapon to the gravity hammer. With one swing
he sent the Elite off off the cliff and down to his death. The ones he
had not dealt with were either killed by the marines, or retreated.
Keith took one step before falling to the ground. He struggled to
feet, only to fall to the ground again, he needed rest, but he was out in the open. Three Marines came over to
help the injured solder. One of them asked. "Sir, are you OK?" Keith
answered him quickly. "Fine. Just give me a moment to let my shield
recharge." Keith opened up a tool placed in his ARM and began to work.
The same Marine backed away then explained who Keith was. "That's no
Spartan. That's that ki- a shot was fired at the Marines head killing
him before he could finish his sentence. Soon shots were being fired
from the first ship on Boneyard. Keith threw down a Bubble shield,
then went back to hacking into his armor. One Marine said. "What are
you doing? Stop messing with that thing and get ready to open fire."
Keith replied. "I need you guys to cover me. I need to get to noble
six and Emile. It's important that I do." The other Marine spoke up
sounding angry while reloading. "So your going to leave us to die
while you escape?" Keith gave the Marine a angry stare. "No, just
start firing long enough for me to hack my speed, one I do I'll send
several plasma grenades at them, they're going to be to busy dieing or
dodging them to notice you. Then you guys can get away." Both marines
looked unsure. But the nodded their heads anyway. "The shield won't
last much longer. Hold their fire until I'm finished, then get out of
here. Don't stop for anything. Get ready." Keith held his hand up and
began the count down. "Five. Four. Three. Two. ONE. GO." The Marines
counter-fired. Keith worked as fast as he could. Time was something he did not have. He heard someone yelling in pain. One of the Marines
went down holding his leg. The Marine screamed "HURRY UP." Keith put
the tool down and ran full speed away while the two Marines took
cover. Keith shot about ten sticky's at the attackers. Keith had almost
reached the next area, but Elites appeared out if nowhere, all with
plasma launchers and energy swords. Keith looked back to see the
marines slowly making an escape. But he needed to buy them some time. He was out numbered, but he would not leave them to die.
He pulled out his hammer. Each of the Elites moved in closer. They
were staring him down, waiting for him to make a move" ALRIGHT YOU BASTARDS." He screamed. "TIME TO DIE." Keith charged in. The Elites
did was well. Two gold Elites slashed at Keith, but he ducked down,
seconds before it could reach his head. He regained his footing then
swung at the Elites, knocking them into the stairs. Another one
slashed its sword into Keith forcing him to jump back. Keith looked to
see another firing its plasma launcher. Another Elite went after
Keith. Keith grabbed its hand, then kicked its elbow, making a loud
snap. Then he grabbed its neck and flung him in front of him, catching
all of the Granada's, Keith kicked him at the launcher, sending up a
shower of blood. Keith wiped the blood from his mask, then grabbed the energy sword. The other energy
sword Elites ran in. But they stopped cold. Keith had disappeared.
They looked around slowly, trying to re spot Keith, he was nowhere to
be seen, and the Elites were just about to leave. But then Keith reappeared behind them, slamming his hammer
killing five of them and injuring several other elites. This was easier then I thought. The rest of
them were down giving him the chance to finish them off. He put away
his hammer and walked over to an elite trying to crawl away. Oh no you don't. He leaned
down and griped its neck. Making it unable to breath. He shoved the
elites face into the ground and rubbed it in the dirt. He gripped the sword in his other hand tighter .
Then he thrust the sword though its back, but he made sure it had not
been quick. He wanted to make it suffer. He pulled the sword back out when it had stopped struggling, then
he walked over to the next one. He grabbed its neck and lifted it up
and held up the sword. This ones for my brother. He lifted it up and
swung. But the sword was shot out of his hands, he dropped the Elite
and went for his hand. If it had not been for his shield the shot would
have blown his hand off. The Elite kicked his legs out send Keith stumbling to the ground, then it quickly
kicked him in the stomach. Keith coughed up blood, then elite grabbed
his foot and threw him to the other wall. Keith shouted when he collide with the wall. He took out his D.M.R but
he was shot in his shoulder. He grabbed his shoulder and tried to stop
the bleeding. His shield's were down and he was badly injured. The next
thing he knew he was surrounded. He took out his hammer to help keep
himself balanced. An Elite with black and red armor began to walk to him. He swung the hammer,
but the elite simply put up his ARM and blocked the attack. The elite
grabbed the hammer then kicked his chest. Keith spit put more blood.
It threw his hammer to the ground then grabbed his chest. The elite
removed Keith's helmet, then shoved him into the wall. There was a very
loud noise, like the sound of a jet, then he figured out that the
Pillar Of Autumn had taken flight. He was to late, he had been left
behind. The elite grabbed his neck, forcing Keith to struggle for air. The elite
began to speak. "where are the humans heading, Demon." Keith looked him into
the eye, and spit blood. The Elite was not happy. He punched Keith
again, braking a couple of his ribs. Keith screamed in agony. The
Elite asked again. "where are they going?" Keith looked back up. "I
have a question for you. How the hell are you guys born if their are
only guy Elites." The Elite punched his jaw, almost braking it. Keith
continued. "I mean do you guys just breed with each other." The Elite
kneed him in the stomach. Keith fell to the ground, just barley
keeping himself up. He looked back up. He had official pissed this
Elite off. The Elite continued attacking the already injured Keith. It kicked him in the face, then grabbed his neck, slamming him into the wall, then punching him in the face. Keith was unable to hold
himself up anymore. The Elite turned around and walked away. Keith
then took his knives out and tossed it. An elite near him screamed
"MASTER, LOOK OUT!" Then he jumped into it. Taking the hit. The leader
turned around catching the body before it hit the ground. He looked to
Keith then screamed in rage. The elites all at once threw their plasma
Granada's. Keith grabbed his helmet and screamed. "ARMOR LOCK DOWN."
Just before the Granada's hit him, creating a huge explosion. Keith fell
to the ground. The last thing he saw was the Elites laughing, then
bullets being fired at them. They turned and opened fire. Then his vision went black, and he fell
unconscious. (flash-back over) Keith's armor was ending its lock down,
he could see once again, but could not move. Crap. Armor still in lock
down. What am I going to do? The ship took off and now I'm stuck here
with the damn covenant. I need to get off this planet. My chance of
surviving get lower each second I stay in the god damn armor lock.
Keith felt his body relax and he was able to move. He got to his feet,
making his way to his weapons. His D.M.R had been destroyed, but his
gravity hammer was still intact, he located the Elite with his knife,
then put it back into his holder. He placed the gravity hammer on his
back and picked up two of the plasma rifles that the dead elites had
dropped. He made his way though the tunnel, it only took him a few
minutes to reach the base. He entered the base. (the place next to the
Spartan tank spawn on invasion) he walked over to the right doorway,
he rolled into to doorway, no enemies. He looked down below, then
quickly ran back out. Most of the Elites that had attacked him laid
there dead. He then saw movement outside. He activated his invisibility,
and followed. He saw something go up the staircase, and we went after
it. He came to a doorway, and a shadow was hanging out it. He peeked
around and saw red and black armor. The same colour as the leader
Elite that had defeated him. He stood waiting. He had the element of surprise. Taking a deep
breath. Then he launched into battle.
