"Regiment # 7's afflictions/ personalities:

Naruto (N-54): Easy going, cares for his friends. During the Spartan-2 experiments, a freak accident happened which almost killed him, causing the whisker-like scars on his face. He is reported to be a very good leader by his teammates.

Sakura (S-238): Strict, easily frustrated. Her body reacted differently to the experiments of Spartan-2 than the other subjects. This caused her to have abnormal strength (even for a Spartan) and also abnormal mood swings.

Sasuke (S-421): Somewhat social, only gets into a conversation when someone else starts it up. He's a bit of a pyro, no body knows exactly why, but it's thought to be because of his previous bloodline, as they were a powerful Japanese clan that used fire in many of their battles.

Kiba (K-26): Enjoys beating his prey, normally goes in for the kill, unless the mission would be in jeopardy because of it. Enjoys working with animals, especially his war-dog, Akamaru.

Shino (S-32): Has a very quiet personality, only speaks when spoken to. Hardly ever asks questions, just carries out with the mission he's required to do.

Shikamaru: (S-122): Probably the only Spartan that actually payed close attention to Strategy class, he also has a thirst for knowledge."

"What kind of birdy sergeant?" Naruto asked.

"Is it a penguin?" Sasuke asked sarcastically.

"No, as a matter of fact, it's a snipe."

"Oh god, not that old trick." Shikamaru said.

"I'm just kidding." Johnson said. "We're going after a scarab."

One of the Marines dropped his gun in horror.

"I think I liked the Snipe better." Naruto said.

"It's terrorizing a nearby town." Johnson explained, "You're either going to have to blow it to its knees and hop on, or just blow the engine."

"How the heck are we going to blow engine?" Kiba asked, "Scarabs are armored head to toe!"

There's a covering at its back that can be destroyed. If that's gotten rid of, then there's an opening that reveals the engine." The soldier picked up his gun.

"You make it sound easy." Naruto said.

"It would be if it weren't for that head cannon." Johnson said. "And the fact that it's almost always reinforced by ghosts."

"Well, we'd better get going before you make the marines crap their pants." Naruto said. The whole squad, even Shino, chuckled.

"Let's move." After the soldiers mounted up, they moved forward. They went down a large path which led to the town, meeting several scouting ghosts in the process. They were destroyed of course, but their presence meant the enemy knew they were coming. They entered the town to find Covenant and Marines everywhere. They were fired at by the covenant, and welcomed by the Marines. Naruto was about to fire the Scorpion's main gun when a prowler appeared in front of them.

"You focus on the Scarab; we'll take care of everything else!" Sasuke yelled. The Spartans on board the tank fired at the prowler, killing both people on it. "Got it." Naruto replied. He fired once at the Scarab. Nothing, it only blew off the knee's covering. Oh well, that's something anyway. He fired at it again, the bomb still being absorbed by the armor. The Scarab noticed them. "Uh-oh." Naruto said. The Scorpion started moving forward in an attempt to shake off the Scarab's aim. Luckily, the Scarab's beam missed and hit the ground. Naruto used the time it takes for the Scarab's beam to recharge to take another shot at it. The bomb impacted against the knee, and to Naruto's surprise, caused the scarab to fall.

"Go, go, go!" Naruto yelled, all of the Spartans getting out of the Scorpion. "Let's get on that thing!" They all ran towards the gap in the bottom of the Scarab as the Scarab's head blew up their Scorpion. They entered, only to find a score of Covenant waiting for them. "Blaaaah!" Elites ran at them firing, only to be either shot down, knifed or thrown off of the Scarab to their inevitable doom. At the other gap that led to the Scarab's deck, A Brute Commander was waiting for them. He was carrying a turret, and fired at them.

"My shield's down!" Shikamaru yelled.

"I got him!" Sasuke yelled, burning the Commander to death.

"Turrets!" Naruto yelled, blowing one of them up with a grenade. He pulled one off of its tri-pod and ran to the engine. Sakura assassinated the grunt using the other turret, pulling its turret off as well. They both fired at the engine, creating sparks, and small explosions. They continued firing until they could hear a loud beeping noise. Naruto cast aside his turret then yelled, "RUN!" Sakura did the same. The group ran from the Scarab which was now glowing blue. They heard a charging noise, then an explosion.

"Is everyone okay?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah." They all answered.

"Good," He said, "That was one hell of an explosion."

"I'd hate to be one of the poor suckers that have to clean that up." Sasuke said.

"You know we have to stick around for awhile and help the citizens affected by our scuffle with the Covenant.

"Scuffle!?" Sasuke said, "That was an all out battle."

"Alright guys, calm down." Naruto said. "Let's get to work.
