Hey all! I just wanted to say, wow and thanks!

Also, I don't own Naruto or Halo, or any of the characters.

Here's chapter one.

One thing I forgot to mention: This story basically starts near the beginning of the Naruto series: No Shippuuden within. Just thought I'd clear that up!

I updated this chapter just a little.

Chapter One: A Special Assignment

"On your right!" The marine yelled.

The Spartan had already seen the wraith-blast coming and had dashed to the left, avoiding it easily. He threw a homing-plasma grenade as hard as he could, straight towards the wraith, which veered to the right to avoid it; but failed. He turned his back to it to blast down a troop of grunts that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Sir, we've got a pack of Super Brutes flanking us!" He turned to give an annoyed look at the young marine who had just shouted the news from where he was taking cover.

"Where," he demanded.

The marine pointed to the edge of the bridge they were standing on, in the opposite direction of the now-destroyed wraith. Climbing up the edge of the bridge were four of the covenant's latest fashion statements; Super Brutes.

Unlike normal brutes, Super Brutes had no trouble surviving grenade-sticks, and even if their armor was destroyed by a plasma pistol, a single magnum blast to the head wouldn't kill them. A melee battle was out of the question.

The Spartan rolled his eyes, though the action wasn't seen by the marine.

"Watch my back," he said, and with that he charged.

By the time he was going full speed the Super Brutes were all on the bridge, proudly yelling their battle cries. Unfortunately for the Spartan, that meant happy Grunts, and happy Grunts were annoying Grunts.

Suddenly a crackling came through the Spartan's helmet, and a female voice spoke. "Spartan K-07, do you copy? You're needed at-"

"A little busy here," he replied curtly, dodging a grunt-thrown grenade and blasting a suicide grunt. The woman continued trying to get his attention, but he tuned her out quickly.

At a distance of 15 yards he threw a fragment grenade at the Super Brutes, who had just finished their battle cries. He knew what their response would be, but it was old habit to test his enemies.

He smirked as they did just what he predicted: three of them took a large step away and the forth one (The leader) kicked the grenade off the edge before it even exploded.

Yes, there was one fairly significant disadvantage the SuBru's (Super Brutes) had: they had only half the brains that normal brutes had.

Half the brains, double the brawl.

His next move was one he had done many times before, so many times it was almost boring; except for the fact that he usually did it with normal brutes, when there was a whole clan (eight to twelve). He pulled the pin on another grenade as the SuBru raised their weapons at him and began firing. Now he stopped moving forward and started dodging back and forth. He waited a whole second before throwing the frag grenade. Then, as he threw it, he immediately prepared an HPG (Homing-plasma-grenade).

The SuBru, dense as they were, began to repeat the same maneuver they had earlier. But this time, when the leader kicked the grenade, it exploded on his foot. He let out a startled cry (More of a roar), and his comrades were momentarily distracted; at the very moment Spartan K-07 threw the HPG.

The grenade hit the leader smack in the face, in the only place on his face that there wasn't armor.

The leader, aware now of his fate, clawed wildly at the grenade and let out a blood-curdling scream. For a moment, everything seemed to pause; the grunts stopped shooting, the SuBru stared in awe, and some marine gave a whoop of joy.

Then: BAM! The HPG exploded, and the lead SuBru fell to the ground, dead.

Had the stick been anywhere besides his face, it would have hardly scratched him.

Suddenly everything came back to life. The grunts started running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and the SuBru aimed their guns and took fire on K-07. He quickly took cover to let his shields recharge and let out a little sigh, glad that the most dangerous was dead.

Not like the others would be trouble, if his next trick worked out.

He dashed back into the open and began to fire his SMG at the remaining three SuBru, hoping to keep them at bay until he could find more grenades. However, the SuBru had other plans.

As though reading his mind, two yelled in unison and began to rampage.

The Spartan glanced quickly back and forth, and for a moment, closed his eyes and listened to his senses.

He could hear the marines shouting behind him, keeping distant jackals at bay; the sound of the ODST, announcing that they were preparing to blow the bridge. He felt the rumble of the ground as some marine used a rocket launcher to destroy a ghost; the feeling of a plasma bolt singe on his shield before a marine killed the grunt that shot at him. Hear. Feel. See.

He opened his eyes, and looked up. One SuBru was ten feet away, and was about to leap forward. The other one was bolting forward, holding a grenade in his hand, prepared to stuff it up the Spartan's helmet. The SuBru that didn't charge was cheering him on dumbly instead of shooting, certain of their victory.

K-07 flexed his fingers. "Here we go."

He waited till the last moment, as the SuBru came flying through the air with deadly momentum and power. At the moment before the monster should have hit him, his hand suddenly glowed with energy, and the sound of a thousand birds could be heard for a moment.

The SuBru saw it coming, but had no chance to stop. K-07 thrust his whole body upwards with incredible speed and as much force as he could muster, his lightning-filled hand leading, into the creature's chest.

"Lighting Fist!" He shouted.

The brute armor shattered to pieces as the Spartan's hand went right through it and into the SuBru's solid body. The SuBru was stopped in place. He opened his mouth, trying to cry out, but nothing came out but a little blood. His fists, which had been balled up to smash the Spartan's head in, suddenly twitched randomly, then the whole body went limp.

This happened in just over a second.

The Spartan used his foot to get his hand out of the SuBru's body, then shook off the blood; his hand had gone in farther than he had thought it would. His shields were down all the way, due to the force that the brute hit them with, and K-07 felt a twinge of pain vibrate through his arm. He looked around and frowned at the suddenly hopeless situation around him:

The SuBru with the grenade was only a second away from reaching him; the other SuBru was already raising his guns to attack, not smart enough to feel fear. Two grunts were going suicide in the Spartan's direction. Three marines went flying off the bridge as a grunt's grenade blew up on them. A covenant drop ship could be seen in the distance, coming closer.

K-07, though worn from using one Lighting Fist, calmly began to prepare another one…

But it turned out he didn't have to.

"Hiiiiiya!"

As the masculine voice shouted its battle cry, the remaining charging SuBru was suddenly slammed on the side, with hard enough force to send the 1200 pound creature tumbling over the bridge. Before the remaining one could even react, he had three plasma grenades stuck to his body, under the gaps in his armor. The two suicide grunts were shot in the head by pistols, and the grenades they were holding exploded around the other grunts sending them flying as well.

As the rubble cleared, K-07 saw the source of the chaos; Spartan G-11.

"Gui." He said under his breath. He straightened, hiding his annoyance well.

"Ha-ha! Men! Move forward and help secure this area!" Shouted the Spartan Gui with enthusiasm.

His visor was clear, so his face could be seen; he was smirking with pride as his squad of marines gave an 'Ooh rah!' and ran forward to help the remaining marines.

Then, as if noticing K-07 for the first time, he turned to him and pointed. "Kakashi! I knew I'd have to save you when I first set foot on this bridge."

"Gui." K-07, or Kakashi, said quietly. "You missed one."

Kakashi aimed the pistol he was holding directly at Gui's head. Quick to react, Gui ducked just in time as Kakashi shot the magnum pistol and hit a shieldless jackal that had been directly behind Gui in the head. Gui looked quickly behind him, seemingly surprised, and even more so when he saw the jackal held a sniper rifle.

"Now, what were you saying about the bridge?" Kakashi asked mildly.

Before Gui had time to react, Commander Mikhail Ytriun's (yih-tree-oon) voice came through the helmets of everyone there, announcing victory:

"Good work, everyone. We have pickup on the way. ODST, light those remaining charges and prepare to blow her."

Kakashi and Gui immediately began shooting down the remaining covenant forces, covering the ODST as the pickup ships began to set down. Two of them stopped and destroyed the covenant drop ship before landing.

"Charges lit!" An ODST announced through the helmet com. "Blowing in five!"

By this time, all the marines were loaded up, and the ODST were on the far edge of the bridge.

"Spartans K-07 and G-11, get on a cruiser," Ytriun commanded. "The ODST will clean up any stragglers. I have a… special assignment for you."

The Spartans glanced at each other, and then boarded the remaining cruiser silently. Whatever the commander had in mind, he didn't bother telling them.
