Writers Note: This chapter takes place right after last chapter from Hudson and John's perspective and during Halo Wars.

Chapter Three: The War of 2531

Journal Entry 134 November 15th, 2528

I just got the word that I have been in a coma for three years, I mean it feels like yesterday when I was with John and everyone else on the base, I just hope everyone of my friends are all right other then Gage and Jak I heard they didn't make it. Why. Just why did it had to happen two those great men, I didn't even get to say goodbye. Goodbye

John's Journal Entry 234 December 1st, 2528

Oh my fucking god, I have been without my buddy Hudson for three years, and he's just decided to wake up now, what a dick, no I shouldn't talk like that, one of these days, Johnson, Keyes, Halsey, Miranda and the rest of the UNSC team, hell even the entire galaxy will one day be counting on me to save all of them, from The Covenant or what ever threat stands in our way, I will be there to stop them, I need to start to grow up, i need to try and stop being this, annoying cocky bastard, because one day I will be there last, and only Hope. Hope.

Hudson's Journal Entry 312 February 1st, 2531

Holy hell, UNSC has begun war with The Covenant, I mean fuck, a real full scale war, this is just really surreal I mean they told us about it in school and training but, I myself haven't really been apart of it, well other then the time I was put in a coma, but seriously I mean this is war. Full Scale War.

Real Time February 6th, 2531

Hudson's Perspective:

Oh my god we were in the drop ship, above The Covenants base, ready to fight, attack, these sons of bitches to the death, my heart was pounding, I felt sweat running down my face, I looked over at Emile and John, I know there wearing helmets but I'm pretty sure their feeling the same, I then hear someone call my name, it was Johnson, "Hudson come on, get in your drop pod!" He commanded, "Yes Johnson!" I answer while running to the opening of the ship, Holy shit I feel the butterflies in my stomach, this is it, I'm just ready to get into the drop pod when suddenly Avery spoked to me again, "Hey Hudson, if you die out there today, just know that you were a great soldier, husband, father and friend." Johnson said as if this was going to be the last time he would see me, "Thanks Avery, but I assure you this isn't going to be the last time we see each other." I joke with him, "Ok, just go kill those Covenant bastards alright!" He joked back, "alright I assure you, I will do that!" I yell back, and just then I was being launched out of the ship, into the sky, and down to the battle. (Music cue Halo Reach, Overture 0:15)

John's Perspective:

"Oh my god Jorge, we're going to die for sure" I say with a scared tone, "Ah shut up you pussy!" He shouts, Jorge then was being called to the back of the ship to be dropped down, "See ya bed wetter John!" Jorge said in a mocking voice, "Yeah good luck to you too asshole!" I say with a touch of sarcasm, and he was off to the back the ship, dropped out the same way Hudson had been, and right then and there I heard a word I did not want to hear at this moment. John. "John-117 come to the front!" Johnson yelled from the back of the drop ship, I ran there quickly, "Alright Sarge I am here!" I yell when I get to the back of the ship, "Ok get in there you annoying brat!" He said angrily, and he shoved me in and before I could comprehend it, I was in the air, tumbling at a fast, exhilarating speed to the ground, and I jumped out and started kicking alien ass, Spartan style.

Hudson's Perspective:

I am running like a chicken with its head cut off, avoiding enemy fire while doing it, I notice that Jorge and John are running beside me now, that's a tremendous sigh of relief I thought I would be out here fighting alone for a while, "So how well have The Covenant been treated you two lately!" I yell over all the commotion, "No they've been behaving really bad, but there seems to be only one punishment, getting shot in the head works well for them!" Jorge shouted while blasting ten aliens with his rocket launcher, holy shit, it feels like I'm running a Marathon out here, I was then being attacked by what we know now as an Elite, "GUUHHA JA!" It yelled in a triumphant roar, "You know he must be waiting for dinner!" John howled, "Ah not one of these stupid fucking jokes now, John!" Jorge said exhausted, "Shut up Jorge, or I will give this Elite's snack to you!" John said humorously as he slowly took a grenade from his pocket, "Eat this you filthy animal!" John yelled while throwing the grenade in his hand, as it flew gracefully in the air, like a bird in the sky, towards the Elite, the Elite shouted "DRRR KYYA!", I'm guessing that's how you say "holy shit!" In Covenant I presume, the grenade hits the ground, sending the Elite twenty feet in the air, while spreading the same, purple-blue liquid all over the place. (Music cue Halo 2, Halo Mjolnir Mix 0:35)

Jorge's Perspective:

God. May I ask why I am being paired with these two jerk offs, I mean really Huddy's a nice guy and all but he can be a dick sometimes, like last week when he "accidentally" kicked my in the beans, that hurt like a motherfucker, and John do I really need to say anything about that cocky son of a bitch, wait is Hudson yelling something at me.

Hudson's Perspective:

"Jorge, John we need to take cover!" I yell over the many tremendous amounts of screaming, gunfire and turmoil, "Why!" John asked in a assholish voice, "Why do you think idiot!" Jorge yelled at the green soldier, "Could you two twenty year olds just shut the fuck up and take cover all ready!" I demanded, "Whatever you say Hudson!" They both said in rhythm, "Jinx you owe me a soda!" John laughed, "You know I fucking hate you!" Jorge said back to him, "Come on before we all die, god dammit!" I said annoyed at there immature bickering, they both started to run towards me, I directed them to a small cavern that was out of The Covenants view, "The three of us will set up camp here for the night." I told the two young Spartans,

Five Hours Later.

"Jorge have you got a signal yet!" I yell at Jorge while looking at the night sky, "No Huddy nothing yet!" He yelled back, John was already sound a sleep, "Hey Jorge you can rest now, you've done a lot today!" I commanded, "Alright Hudson, sorry I couldn't find a radio signal at the UNSC base." He said in a kind of defeated voice, "Don't be so ashamed Jorge you did good today." I assured him, He then rested on a patch of dirt, (music cue Halo 2/3 Unforgetton/Never Forget) looking at the night sky just makes me think of my wife, Katey, and my one year old daughter Catherine, I mean there probably really worried, I mean for all they know I could be dead, that would be terrible, I'm just 28 I mean I have a whole life ahead of me, but I just know that in order to survive, I need to fight, fight, fight harder then I have ever fought before, so I can see my family, friends and everyone else at UNSC for that matter, I won't let them down, I will come home. I will come Home. Home to everyone I love.
