I would also like to note the song 'Iridescent' was made and rightfully belongs to Linkin Park.

Marcus looks down from the pelican on the ruins of Rodum, the largest city of Takra, or what was the largest city of Takra before the Covenant attacked the city. He sighed and rested a hand on his bleeding side, which had been bandaged up by his comrades a few moments earlier. He had received the wound from a plasma rifle blast held by a minor Elite.

When you were standing in the wake of devastation

"Marcus, your being taken to Reach," an officer said to him.

"What for?" Marcus asked.

"Some kind of special assignment," the officer answered.

The next day

Location: Reach, Niobe Aino system

"Anya!" Marcus exclaimed, hugging his friend, who was wearing a green bodysuit, just like him.

Anya was a pretty girl with short brown hair, blue eyes and she held a beautiful smile, which would be expected in a twenty one year old.

She's also very friendly and very caring, like a mother. Marcus thought, trying to prevent himself from blushing they pulled apart.

"Well, welcome to Reach," she said.

Marcus smiled. "Thanks."

When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown

"Hey, Marcus, look who it is," one of his friends, Eric, said, nodding over to the entrance to the warehouse.

Marcus turned his head and saw a familiar woman with short silver hair, blue eyes and was at a height of about 6ft 4 and was wearing a white bodysuit.

"It's Eve," he whispered under his breath, looking back at Eric quickly so as not to attract her attention.

Eric looked back over at Eve and saw Anya run up to her and hug her. They talked for a few moments before Anya dragged Eve over to a group of women in the corner of the warehouse.

With the cataclysm raining down

"We've got reports of Covenant bombardment from the CCS battle cruiser in the atmosphere. Hang on- I-It's descending. It's headed towards the Axiom!" Marcus' radio shouted as he looked up at the sky. More blasts fell from the clouds and exploded on impact with the ground.

Inside voices crying save me now

"Alima!" Marcus screamed as she collapsed to the ground, narrowly, and thankfully, avoiding another blast that zoomed over her and struck another marine in the face, killing him.

Marcus rushed over to her, the wall of blasts zooming past him, grabbed her by the arm and lifted her off the ground, placing another arm under her knees. Two marines ran forward and fired on the Covenant to provide covering fire as Marcus rushed back to the square shaped building where the wounded marines were.

You were there and possibly alone

Marcus looked at the small, purple holographic man that stood on his bodysuit's shoulder.

"Ready, Auto?" he asked.

Auto nodded and disappeared back inside Marcus's bodysuit. Moments later, the pelican stopped about ten feet above the ground.

"Good luck, Marcus,"

"Roger that," Marcus shouted to the cog pit before he jumped down onto the ground.

Do you feel cold?

Marcus looked down at the zealot Elite's body as he collapsed onto his knees. The pain from his energy sword was overwhelming him from the wound on his side. Blood was dripping onto the ground and he struggled to stay awake. He knew he would not have long left, but at least he had saved the Michigan and countless hundreds of others from certain death.

And lost in desperation

"I WISH YOU HAD DIED IN RODUM!" Anya screamed at him before she turned and ran off, tears streaming down her face.

"Anya, wait!" Marcus called but she had disappeared into the building before he had even moved a foot from where he was standing.

You build up all the failures all you've known

Marcus slumped down onto his knees and sighed in defeat as he looked up at the Michigan as the enormous ship lifted off the ground. The dust kicked up from the ground blew around him like a sandstorm, blinding his eyes and making them water, but he still looked on, just about seeing the light of the engines of the ship as it ascended into the sky and flew off into the clouds, disappearing into the distance.

In a way, Marcus felt like he had failed. He had not saved his friends and he was still left on the planet, his only chance of getting on possibly the last Human ship gone.

No. He had succeeded in a way. He may have sacrificed himself to stay behind and lost the rest of his team, but he had possibly saved hundreds of scientists and civilians from certain death, and possibly even the entire Human race.

But not without the sacrifices of his friends.

Remember all the sadness and frustration

The pelican spun around in mid-air as the fire overtook it. Alima was screaming "NO!" over and over. Marcus was yelling for them to get out of the craft. Stinger and several other marines were watching helplessly, lost for words.

Then…

BOOM! The pelican exploded.

"NOOOOO!" Alima screamed as tears ran down her face. Marcus gritted his teeth in anger and looked at the approaching Covenant.

And let it go

Marcus picked up the holographic picture of him and Anya and watched they kissed each other, watching that same thing over and over. It looked like a happy moment but tears ran down Marcus' face for he knew she was no longer going to be able to cherish this moment.

"I-I love you, Anya," he whispered under his breath, a tear falling onto the holographic photo.

Let it go

'Those who fought' and 'Battle of Reach'

The past will be revealed soon.

"You guys ready?"

They all nodded.

"For Reach,"

"For Mankind."

"For Earth,"
