"Well what a wonderful new day up in space." I said looking out to the stars.
"Captain, it's the covenant and what's left of the U.N.S.C., their one hundred yards and closing." The sips AI announced.
"Well this wonderful day just turned shity pretty damn quick, I want all men to combat stations immediately!" I ordered.
"Mason the covenant they're charging weapons." Ray ran into the room shouting.
The ship began to shake. "Captain we've been hit!" The AI Shouted.
"Mason there over a dozen, how are we going to win?" Sweetie asked holding Sephara.
"The same way we always do! Fire at will!" I shouted.
"MAC Cannon is online sir." A marine informed.
"FIRE!" Ray shouted.
The ship shook from the power the MAC took to fire. After the MAC Shot successfully there was a big explosion and smoke flew from the cannon.
"Shit Cannons down Permanently!" The marine shouted.
Ray get the ship AI and start evacuating were taking this battle planet side!" I ordered.
A few moments later a marine's voice came over the loud speakers as I took Sweetie and Sephara to drop pod. "Mason what about you?" Sweetie asked.
"Don't worry I'll be fine this ships got a last resort fail safe I'm gonna activate it and get to the drop pod on the captains deck." I informed her.
"Okay Every one ready!" I shouted.
"Okay!" Everyone on in the drop pods shouted.
I turned to the computer and punched in the code and one by one the pods launched. "Okay that takes care of that." I said to myself as I ran to the deck.
The ship began to rattle again from being shot. Sparks flew from the wires lights flickered and went out. I quickly got to the door put it was stuck the codes wouldn't work to open it. "Just like old times right?" Dave laughed.
"Yea just like old times." I agreed and pulled out my grenade launcher.
"Ready set go!" I shot the grenade, it stuck to the door and I stood for a second before letting go of the trigger.
There was a bright flash and the repeated beeping from the shields warning system that the shield was down. The dust settled and I walked into the room. I looked around the room for the control as the ship shook again.
"AH right here!" I shouted as my tail shook from side to side.
I quickly punched in the code and the computer screen went white a countdown appeared in red numbers. "Well don't just stand there MOVE!" Dave shouted.
I turned and ran for the drop pod. "Hurry get seated!" Dave ordered.
I sat down and quickly strapped myself in and pulled down the hatch. The pod launched as I started to free fall to the unknown planet bellow I watched the ship get farther and farther away until the Bomb in the ship went off sending the first fifty covey and U.N.S.C. ships down in a cloud of fire.
"Well fifty down two thousand more to go." I said with a sarcastic laugh.
"You might want to hold on were coming in to the planets orbit now." Dave informed me.
"Well today's been a fantastic day." I sarcastically said to myself.
"And it's still early!" Dave said in a happy voice.
"Don't patronize me." I shook my head.
We hit the ground and the hatch few open and I jumped out guns raised. "All troops fall to my position we got Covies and humans inbound!" I ordered over the radio.
"Well cap. glad to hear you got out safely!" Ray shouted.
"Mason I was beginning to think you didn't make it." Sweetie cried.
" Oh I'm too bad ass to die!" I laughed.
"Yea and to big in the head." Dave laughed.
"Hey who's side are you on?" I asked sarcastically.
The ground shook, I turned and looked a fare head distance to see enemy brutes and O.D.S.T.'s landing in the drop pods. I got my sniper and started to take shots. After about ten shots something taped me on the shoulder, I jerked around and hit the person in the head with the butt of my sniper.
"Ow Mason what the hell man!" Ray shook his head and took off his helmet.
"Spartan team is hear. Five hundred of the best Spartans at your service." Ray saluted.
"Okay let's take them out quick before they get backup." I ordered.
The Spartans roared and charged at the enemies, dodging bullets as they went. I ran out used my suites armor lockup until enough enemies gathered around me, when they did I stood up, there bullets being deflected by my shield.
"Dave switch armor lockup to Reactor Flare." The icon in the corner of my screen switched. "Ready set activate" The enemies watched as my suit started to glow white and a loud bang caught some of the Spartans attention.
The light ended and the melted bodies and suits fell to the black scorched dirt. My screen on the helmet went dark and the shield fell. I waited for a few minutes till I heard the sound of covenant's and human's tanks being fired.
"Come on Dave I need the suit now!" I shouted.
The screen flickered and turned on. I shoved myself up off the ground and I ran straight to the human tank and with a quick twist of my wrist I crushed and bent the cannon part, I turned and quickly jumped off as the tank exploded.
"Were losing to a animal!" one of the enemy marines shouted.
"yea ya kinda are" I chuckled to no one in particular.
I took out my grenade launcher and shot it at the covenant tanks plasma shooter causing the tank to explode. A shot that came from a guss cannon flew over my head and as I turned around to see who's side they were on I was tackled to the ground by none other than Sweetie and Sephara.
"Sweetie we need to get Sephara out of here I think hijacking a pelican, Speaking of pelicans where are mine with the trucks and tanks!" the last part I said over the radio.
"ON our way sir!" I heard pelican guns shooting from behind me.
"Long swords inbound!" A pilot shouted.
I watched as jets flew over us. The battle raged on for hours but out of nowhere a loud screeching sound was hear over the battle field and a laser scan type thing went over the battle field, the first to stop battling was the covenants. The put down their weapons and knelt down. Then the humans were next as my team did follow, but we didn't put our guns down or knell as the covenant was the ones who did that. The forerunners came from surrounding all three teams. One by one the covenants and humans air craft's went down by explosions.
"We got to get Sephara out of here!" I ran and grabbed hold of Sweetie and Sephara.
"Dave set course to the nearest U.N.S.C Curser." I ordered.
"But sir the sky is full of them." Dave argued.
"We don't have time KNOW Dave!" I ordered.
There was a bright flash and we were on the ship. "Sweetie follow me. Dave have every one teleport to this ship, I want a meeting between the three teams." I ordered as I stormed up to the meeting deck.
We got up to the deck both sides weapons were put away. "Odd someone breaks in and you don't look ready to fight?" I asked.
"I took care of that brother." A voice said from right behind me.
I quickly realized that voice to belong to Ray. Ray walked up to the projection table. "Well you going to explain your plan?" he asked.
I walked up to the table and began telling my plan. "Well we need to get rid of these forerunners. I was thinking that if this planets hollow maybe we could send a team down there and destroy it." I suggested.
"That sounds like a good plan dumb ass but after your army destroyed the that station we don't have any suites that teleport." Said a rugged old man who I recognized to be cornel Holland.
"cornel Holland, it's been too long." I said sarcastically.
"Hehe yea, not god dam long enough tho." He spat.
"By the way how many fucking times do I get to kill you before you stay dead. I mean I do enjoy killing the basterd who did try to kill my family but this- this is ridiculous." I said.
"I will not send my fuck'n men down there!" Holland slammed his fist down.
"Fine then, Ray tell your team their job is done and to teleport to the center with the second bomb." I ordered.
I turned to Sweetie and we both teleported back to the planet, as we did the Spartans teleported leaving a bomb which went off after my team got out.
"Ha I hope this time you stay down ya fucker!" I flipped off the air.
I quickly looked a head and seen just how many enemies I would have to go through. "Men I want you to hijack a covy ship or a human ship leave this to me!" I ordered.
Sweetie shouted and ran for me but Ray held her back teleporting to a random ship. I turned and jumped off a small cliff. "You know this is a one way trip… right?" Dave asked.
"Yea… I do the timer won't be long enough for us to teleport to a ship." I sighed.
I pulled out my rifle and started to make it to my destination. "I quietly walked past a big group of forunners. "Dam there gaining in numbers, and it's getting harder to walk past them." I said to my self.
"There!" Dave shouted as a waypoint appeared on my HUD.
I ran and activated my sprint application , sprinting past the enemy with a blur. I grabbed the nuke, activated it and threw it to the center. Everything went white instantly. Sweetie watched from her new ship as the planet fell to little crumbs of dirt and metal flew past the ship. Sweetie felt a hand rest on her shoulder expecting it to be Mason but to see Ray instead.
"I'm Sorry Sweetie he didn't make it, we lost all coms with him." Ray sighed.
Sweetie pulled him into a tight hug and cried into his chest.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
"Ugh Dam it stop ringing fuck'n ears!" I yelled with great annoyance.
"Wait I'M ALIVE!?" I yelled completly amazed.
"Well I'm actually wondering that same thing." Dave said.
"Okay first it's all white now its black, what gives?" I asked.
"Well from oxygen levels I say we're in space." Dave said in an informative tone.
"NO SHIT! Anyway let's look around, activate thrusters." I could hear a wiring sound and the thrusters started up.
"You know you did ask." He said laughing.
"Well Dave that was sarcasm." I said sarcastically.
"Let's just focus on the task at hand." Dave suggested.
"Your right Dave send out a stress transition and try to find any sips." I ordered.
"Well I just hope your reactor doesn't give out." Dave said almost jinking us.
"That makes two of us." I said as I used the thruster to jump to another piece of the broken planet.
"Mason I found one, odd one of the only ones, if I'm reading this correctly it's the U.N.S.C cruiser Shake em and Bake em. I have the coordinates to teleport us there… that is if the reactor is still functioning correctly to not explode on us." Dave said.
"Yea use it." We teleported right where Sweetie and Ray were at.
Staring at what's left of the planet. "You know Ray just because you think I died you better not be trying to get with my wife." I said.
"Dam I think I'm hearing things." Ray rubbed his head.
Sweetie looked up and seen me. She pushed Ray to the side causing him almost to fall flat on the floor.
"Oh Mason I thought you died." She cried.
"Um if it makes you feel better I thought I did too." I chuckled though she didn't think that was very funny.
"Well captain where too?" Ray asked.
"Anywhere but here." I ordered.
And with that we took off wandering the space till another problem arised.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: If you want to have a Spartan in the story I'm thinking the first five maybe six people to PM me will be accepted. I need to know the name, gender, and color of armor.
