Halo: Light of the Past

by tomiscomin4u

In sometime in 2163, the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) was created. Sometime later, an Fleet Admiral known as Kurtis Wells was given a ship known as the UNSC Past Life. When he wakes up on December 11, 2553, he and his team appear to be near a planet known as Freozar. What'll happen next?

4. Take the Air and Base Away

When Kurtis and Georgia were about to leave, Rivera said, "Uzi would like a word with you again?"

Kurtis said, "It's a good thing that I didn't put my armor on yet. Put him on."

Rivera did and Uzi said, "You really are pissing me off, humans."

Kurtis said, "Yeah, well you are pissing us off as well. I hear that you did a number on my men down there."

Uzi said, "Yeah, we bombarded them with rockets. 2,000 of them to be exact and THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!"

Kurtis said, "No need to be mad, Uzi. I'm just doing my job. And you are trying to do yours."

Uzi said, "Trying? Stop attacking my men."

Kurtis said, "No. We have a plan to end your tyranny, Uzi. But I don't know how to get it ready."

Uzi said, "Well, I already have my plan in motion. Have fun in hell."

Uzi ended the transmission and Kurtis said, "We're moving now. We need Scorpions, Wolverines, Wombats, and Hornets. We're going to protect Dr. Anderson with all we got."

Thomas heard that and asked, "Are you sure that you need all of that?"

Kurtis answered, "Yes. I bet that they'll be sending everything they've got to take that cannon and shoot it at us. We're going to make sure that we take them out first. And take out more than 50% of there forces."

Rivera said, "Sir, 5,000,000 is more than 80% of their forces. And you already took out 1%. You'll only have to worry about 19% or less. And you'll have to find the manufacturing place where they are being made. And destroy that as well so the T-93's stop manufacturing."

Kurtis said, "Thank you. I was thinking about that as well."

He walked to the Tech Lab and said, "Doctors, I need a word with you."

Trevor heard that and said, "Sure thing. What can we help you with?"

Kurtis answered, "Tyrone Williams created the T-93's. But was that at Froza Technology?"

They heard that and Dr. Stella Valli answered, "Yes it was. Why do you ask?"

Kurtis answered, "If we destroy that manufacturing place, will that stop the manufacturing of the T-93's?"

Trevor answered, "Yes it would. Froza Technology was the only place on the planet that knew about the creation of the T-93's. So yeah. You plan on destroying the place."

Kurtis answered, "Yes. With the Africable Cannon."

Stella said, "You are insane. No human could activate it."

Trevor said, "Actually, if we humans took time to activate it, it could be possible."

Georgia asked, "How long would that take?"

Eleanor answered, "30 to 60 minutes."

Kurtis said, "Are there any disadvantages in using the cannon?"

Stella answered, "Yes. After it being used for 5 minutes, it will be destroyed. Well, 5 minutes in a day. It hasn't been used for a year, so you are safe to use it for the exact 5 minutes."

Georgia said, "Now, the T-93's vessel, Devastating End. How long will it take the Africable Cannon to get through the entire ship?"

Stella smiled and answered, "4 minutes. Leaving you a minute to destroy Froza Technology."

Kurtis said, "Shit."

Georgia said, "I'll gladly die to protect the human race, sir."

Veronica stepped in and said, "No you won't, Dr. Anderson. Allow me to stay."

Kurtis said, "Nope. I can't lose you."

Veronica said, "Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as the building is destroyed."

Kurtis asked, "How dangerous is the explosion?"

Stella answered, "Very dangerous. A 1 km radius. It'll take about 10 minutes to get to 5 km though."

Kurtis said, "Alright. We gotta haul ass."

Stella said, "One more thing. As soon as you let go of the controls, the beam will stop. And you will fail to destroy anything."

Kurtis said, "Shit."

Veronica said, "I'll take on that role sir. You still need Dr. Anderson. Let me take that role."

Kurtis grinned and said, "Fine. It's yours. Let's move everyone. We need everyone's full attention. Today is the day we protect the human race. I need men to use 20 Warthogs, 5 Scorpions, 10 Wolverines, 5 Wombats, 10 Sabres, and 10 Hornets. And I want Infantry units to help out on the ground without vehicles. We're making an offensive and defensive front today. We're going to destroy the enemy vessel that is heading toward the next human planet and we're destroying the manufacturing place of where the T-93's are coming from. Understood."

Everyone started running around and got weapons and then Kurtis smiled and then Kurtis said, "Thank you for the information. You've been a great help."

Stella said, "We're glad to help."

Trevor said, "Yes we are."

They ran to the Pelicans and then saw 500+ soldiers ready for action and said, "Alright, let's move out."

Everyone entered the Pelicans, Scorpions, Wombats, Hornets, Sabres, Wolverines, and Warthogs and then took off to where the Africable Cannon was. Rivera said, "We'll keep our eyes on your surroundings for you sir."

Kurtis said, "Please do."

Danielle said, "There is small enemy forces near the cannon, but they don't seem to be activating it."

Kurtis heard that and said, "We'll take them out and then we'll make a small formation there. We're going to make sure that no enemy gets through to Dr. Anderson."

Thomas said, "What shall we tell Captain Del Rio if he calls back?"

Kurtis answered, "Well, Yates is with us. So the next in command, Captain Gray takes over. He'll speak with them."

Isaac said, "Yessir."

While the Pelicans were headed to the Africable Cannon, Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood said, "Captain Del Rio, this is Hood."

Andrew said, "Sir, how can we help you today?"

Hood said, "Our people on Freozar aren't reporting back. We wish for you to investigate."

Andrew said, "Sir, Fleet Admiral Kurtis Wells is already there."

Hood said, "The CO of the UNSC Past Life. He's still alive after all."

Andrew said, "You know him, sir."

Hood answered, "Nope. He and his crew disappeared 390 years ago after completing their mission to end the war against the first group of Insurrectionists. They ended the war by destroying the UNSC Backlash. I'm still surprised that 390 year ship works still."

Andrew said, "I sent three Spartan teams to support them."

Hood said, "Send the entire fleet there, Del Rio."

Andrew asked, "Are you sure, sir?"

Hood answered, "Yes. The T-93's have gone mad and they are all alone. And there's a ship trying to leave the planet."

Kurtis said, "Fleet Admiral Hood, this is Fleet Admiral Kurtis Wells, I already have a plan to get rid of that ship and we're operating that plan right now."

Hood heard that and said, "You can't be serious."

Kurtis said, "I am. You know the Africable Cannon, correct?"

Hood answered, "Yes. To protect the human colony from the Covenant."

Kurtis said, "Well, we're using that to destroy the Devastating End. And Froza Technology where the manufacturing of the T-93's are coming from."

Hood said, "Damn. You really are smart like your records say."

Kurtis said, "Well, this goal is very dangerous. But we'll be fine."

Andrew said, "We'll still come and support you."

Kurtis said, "Sure thing."

The pilots said, "We're here."

Kurtis yelled, "Activate the cannon and blow these motherfuckers up."

Everyone jumped out of the Pelicans and the Pelicans released the land vehicles and the Wombats, Hornets, and Sabres were in the sky shooting all enemy forces and then Kurtis caught Georgia and Georgia went to work and then Kurtis took the pin out of the weapon so he could move it into position and Veronica said, "Tell us when to stop moving it."

Rivera said, "You need it at a 75 degree angle."

Veronica said, "A 75 degree angle, sir."

Kurtis nodded and then put the pin back in and asked, "Is that 75?"

Rivera answered, "Yes it is. Huh, Pelicans have arrived from our 5 o'clock."

Kurtis said, "It must be the Spartan teams. Check to see who they are."

Rivera said, "Yessir."

Thomas said, "Three unidentified Pelicans, please state your business."

Sarah said, "It's the Spartans."

Thomas said, "Alright, docking bay 5, 8, and 20."

They said, "Yessir."

Isaac said, "You guys are sooner than expected."

Carmichael said, "We like to be fast. Unlike the Captain."

Thomas smiled and said, "Nicely said."

Danielle said, "Sir, there are enemy forces at you 7 o'clock."

Kurtis said, "You know what to do. Blow them to smithereens."

Everyone said, "Yessir."

Veronica said, "Oh this is going to be our best plan ever."

Kurtis said, "Rivera, make sure that we make a grave for Captain Yates when we get back to Earth."

Rivera asked, "Why?"

Kurtis answered, "Once I position the weapon to attack the building, she's going to need to stay behind to keep the weapon activated for it to work. Put her name on the list of victims."

Rivera said, "Yessir. But isn't it too soon to give up on her?"

Kurtis answered, "No it's not. We already know what happens to this weapon after 5 minutes. It blows up. And it needs to stay activated for it to work."

Rivera said, "Understood."

Kurtis said, "Rush, when I give the signal, have everyone that works the weapons to fire at the Devastating End. We're going to bring the ship a little closer."

Hector said, "Understood, sir."

Kurtis smiled and explosions occurred and Danielle said, "More from your 1 o'clock."

The Scorpions took them out and Kurtis said, "We Infantry units won't let a single one pass through the first line of defense."

Everyone said, "Yessir."

Veronica said, "Sir, here's my dog tag."

Kurtis grabbed it and said, "You fought well under me, Yates. Your father would have been proud of you."

Veronica said, "I bet that he would."

Technical Sergeant Caroline Forbes said, "Sir, we have enemies in the air."

Kurtis said, "Everyone, whenever you see an enemy, shoot the hell out of it."

Everyone said, "Yessir."

The Sabres started shooting at them and then Danielle said, "A large wave headed from 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock."

Kurtis said, "Here they come everyone. Attack with a meaning of pain. Prove to their leader that they are trying to fuck with the wrong marines. We fight to survive. We fight for our people. And we fight to protect our homes."

While everyone was laying waste to the T-93's, the 3 Pelicans entered the docking bay and Isaac appeared and the hatches opened and they stepped out of the Pelican and Isaac said, "Welcome to the UNSC Past Life. We've been expecting you."

Rivera said, "Captain Gray, Fleet Admiral Hood wants a word with you."

Isaac said, "Come to the bridge. We'll brief you on the situation as soon as I'm done speaking with Sir Hood."

Carlo said, "Understood."

They walked to the bridge and then Isaac said, "Put him on."

Hood said, "Wells, is that you?"

Isaac answered, "Nope. He's out on the battlefield because he's the only one strong enough to move the Africable Cannon."

Hood said, "I see. How many soldiers has he sent out there?"

Isaac answered, "More than half, sir. His words have meaning to everyone."

Hood said, "Hm, you plan on taking on the T-93's head on."

Isaac said, "We've succeeded so far going head on. But this time, they are coming at us with everything they've got."

Hood said, "Do you think that taking out their vessel is worth it?"

Isaac answered, "If we don't use the weapon, then the T-93's will and kill us all. We won't let that happen."

Hood said, "The Devastating End is headed to Earth, for what reason?"

Isaac answered, "To kill Fleet Admiral Lory Long and every human colony that is in it's path."

Hood heard that and said, "OK. Your orders are to blow it up."

Isaac said, "We're already a step ahead of you, sir. Our men are already trying to activate it."

Hood asked, "Is that so?"

Isaac answered, "Yessir."

Danielle said, "More are coming from your 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. With Warthogs and Wraiths."

Isaac said, "Keep it up, Frost."

Danielle nodded and Hood said, "How much longer will it take for you to activate the cannon?"

Isaac answered, "We just started sir. And it'll take a human about 30 to 60 minutes to activate. And one of them must hold on to the lever to keep it activated. We got 5 minutes to use it before it explodes. And we won't have enough time to destroy it all. So one of the soldiers are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect Earth."

Hood heard that and said, "Let the Spartans help."

Isaac said, "We won't allow the Spartans to die. The blast radius of the weapon is 1 km. And we'll only have less than a minute to run out of there."

Kurtis said, "We're also getting rid of Froza Technology where the T-93's are being manufactured. They are after humanity because Fleet Admiral Lory Long killed their creator, Dr. Tyrone Williams."

Hood heard that and said, "Understood, we'll question her for you marines out there. Good luck."

Georgia said, "We've been here for...uh, how long?"

Kurtis answered, "30 minutes and defeated 6 waves of T-93's. How many have died?"

Commander Rebecca Lynn answered, "6 have died, sir."

Danielle said, "Wave 7 is coming from all directions."

Kurtis yelled, "Kill them all."

Georgia said, "Just 5 more minutes, sir. That's all I need. 5 more minutes."

Kurtis said, "You heard the doctor. 5 minutes. Hold them off for 5 more minutes."

Brain said, "Hm, they have a defensive front. Send in everyone."

Krane said, "Agreed."

Danielle saw all of the movement and Sarah said, "My god."

Hood asked, "What's wrong?"

Danielle said, "Sir, we got a problem."

Kurtis asked, "What's the problem?"

Danielle answered, "All of the T-93's from all over the planet are headed your way and fast."

Kurtis asked, "How about Uzi?"

Danielle answered, "Nope. He's staying behind in the Capital of the planet. It seems that Brain and Krane are commanding this operation."

Kurtis heard that and Kurtis said, "Shit."

Carmichael asked, "Would you like us to deploy, sir?"

Kurtis smiled and answered, "Nope. I need you for something more important than this. Just wait on the ship."

Sarah heard that and then Kurtis looked at the cannon and then explosions started occurring all over the battlefield along with bullets flying everywhere and then Georgia said, "It's ready."

Kurtis said, "Fire at the Devastating End."

Hector said, "You heard him. FIRE!"

Everyone started shooting the cannons and turrets and then the bullets and beams hit the ship and then the CO of the ship, Grane said, "Hm, we're getting attacked from the air. I didn't expect those humans to challenge us robotics. Fly toward them slowly."

Veronica activated the cannon and then a really deadly beam flew up at the ship and Brain and Krane said, "No, they activated our cannon."

Uzi said, "Annihilate them all."

Brain and Krane smiled and said, "Yessir."

They started charging forward and Danielle said, "Brain and Krane are running toward your location, sir."

Kurtis said, "Where?"

Danielle answered, "12 o'clock and fast."

Kurtis heard that and walked forward and said, "Fire."

Everyone did and then Brain and Krane shot the shells and they blew up in mid air and Danielle said, "None of our attacks are getting near them, sir."

Kurtis said, "Tell me when 4 minutes are up."

Everyone said, "Yessir."

Kurtis ran forward and then Brain laughed and said, "The armored man is here."

Krane asked, "Do you wish to appear, sir?"

Uzi smiled and answered, "Nope. We don't want to be there when the cannon blows up. How many have fallen already?"

Krane answered, "Over 40,000 T-93's."

Uzi said, "Keep it up."

Kurtis swung at them and then the one commanding the Scorpion said, "Sir, we got them locked on."

Kurtis smiled and whispered, "Shoot them."

He said, "Sir, but you are there."

Kurtis whispered, "Do as I say marine. Shoot."

The Scorpion did and then Thomas jumped back and then Krane and Brain saw that and looked at the Scorpion and said, "Oh shit. We fucked up to battle him. He's always planning ahead of time. Yep, peace out world."

An explosion occurred at their location and then Veronica saw that and then Kurtis appeared and said, "How much time left?"

A soldier answered, "You were only out there for 3 minutes, sir."

Kurtis said, "I see."

Kurtis appeared behind the cannon and lowered his body getting ready for it to fall and then Georgia said, "5."

Explosions started occurring with bullets flying everywhere and screams were appearing and Georgia said, "4."

Kurtis said, "Come on."

Georgia said, "3."

Grane yelled, "We're going to die."

Georgia said, "2."

Kurtis turned his head and saw them falling one by one and grinned and Georgia said, "1."

Georgia pulled the pin and the entire ship exploded and split in two and the cannon fell on him and Kurtis grinned and collapsed and the cannon crushed him and Kurtis screamed and yelled, "Put the pin in when Rivera says so."

Georgia said, "Yessir. All units, fall back."

Kurtis said, "Do it."

Everyone started driving away and then Kurtis started to lift it up and then Rivera said, "Stop."

Kurtis did and then Georgia put it in and then Kurtis crawled out and then lifted her up like a Princess and ran out of there and the T-93's ran toward the cannon and then Veronica smiled and Georgia looked at her and started crying and said, "Farewell, Yates."

Kurtis grinned and said, "Stop Dr. Anderson. She's never dead as long as we remember her."

Georgia heard that and said, "You're right."

She wiped the tears out of her eyes and said, "I apologise."

Kurtis smiled and said, "Don't."

Veronica screamed and held on to the lever and then a minute went by and the cannon exploded and the blast of the weapon started to spread and everyone got 2 km away and Caroline said, "They aren't far enough yet. And the cannon already blew up."

Kurtis turned his head and saw the blast and screeched and then picked up the pace and yelled, "Hang on to something because this is going to hurt."

Georgia heard that and then Caroline kept looking and the threat of 200,000 have fallen and then Kurtis tripped at the 1 km line and then said, "Goddammit."

He tried to keep himself up as long as possible to get to 1.01 km, but failed to do so and then he tossed Georgia out of the way and Georgia saw that and looked at Kurtis and yelled, "Sir."

Kurtis smiled and saluted her and the blast appeared and Kurtis stayed like that and then his lower half of his armor disappeared and then the blast disappeared and Kurtis turned himself over and then started laughing and said, "My armor protected me after all. Wait, then Yates didn't have to die. Shit."

He stood up and then said, "This is definitely weird."

Georgia hugged Kurtis and Isaac saw that and Georgia said, "I really thought that you were going to die."

Kurtis said, "So did I. But I'm lucky because I wore my armor. But the sad thing is that she didn't have to die."

Georgia said, "We didn't know the outcome, sir. Plus, you would be naked."

Kurtis said, "Ah, you have a point. Let's go home everyone."

Caroline said, "We lost a total of 50 soldiers throughout the entire thing."

Kurtis said, "Before we leave back to our ship, let's salute them. As proof that they fought with honor."

Everyone exited their vehicles and got on to the ground and saluted the dead and Isaac said, "We're sending Pelicans to get you."

Kurtis said, "Good. Did we destroy the building?"

Danielle answered, "Yes you did, sir. The building has been destroyed and no more T-93's can be manufactured."

Kurtis smiled and said, "Alrighty then, we did our job perfectly."

Hector said, "Sir, watching the ship explode was the best part."

Kurtis smiled and said, "I bet that it was, Rush. Hahahaha. Hayes, scratch #2 off of the list. It's unrepairable."

Monica said, "Yessir."

The Pelicans arrived and then the marines entered their vehicles and the Pelicans and Kurtis looked out there and said, "1 km of damage, huh."

The pilot asked, "Is everyone on?"

Kurtis answered, "Yep. Everyone is on."

The pilots took off and then Georgia asked, "Why are you so reckless?"

Kurtis looked out there and everyone noticed that he didn't answer her and Georgia said, "Sir?"

The Pelicans appeared in the station and Kurtis walked off of the Pelican and appeared in the bridge and saw the Spartans and Kurtis saw the fire and smoke and said, "You seem to have gotten front row seats of the biggest explosion in the world."

Isaac heard that and said, "I need some pants."

Hood said, "You successfully destroyed the ship and lured it into your trap. No wonder why you were given the title of admiralty."

Kurtis said, "Yep. We've been setting up traps since we woke up here. Dr. Anderson, keep looking into the reason why we woke up. Because the electric surge wasn't the reason. There wasn't any surge."

Georgia said, "Sure thing. I'll look into it more."

Kurtis took his helmet off and said, "Can't wait to get out of this hell hole. How many more cities need us to wipe out the T-93's?"

Danielle answered, "One. The Capital where Uzi is and the remaining forces of the T-93's."
