HALO: 3 ODST: 2
ROOKIE
EXACTLY AT DROP
"Ahhhghghggghhhhhh!" Rookie yelled, his drop pod fell at an alarming speed, his timer said he would touch down in exactly two minutes.
'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!' Rookie thought to himself, he has only been on a few drops, and this one was the most frightening, he looked up and saw covenant ships battling UNSC Cruisers. They were holding up surprisingly well, considering the UNSC's track record against the Covenant in space combat. Suddenly Dare spoke up on the comm Channel.
"Impact in three… two… one…" Suddenly Rookie felt a huge slam, and everything went dark.
FAIRE
IMMEDIATELY AFTER DROP
Anna Faire's pod hit the ground hard, it was her first drop, and suprising to her… it didn't kill her like in the stories she heard about ODST's dying on impact, or burning to death while entering the atmosphere. She activated the latches and opened the pod, she found trouble to stand up, Faire looked around. Her pod landed in a grassy plains area, there were tree's around, and some looked extremely old and brittle, while others were just dead.
Faire turned on her Comm unit inside of her helmet
Dare spoke up on her comm Channel
"Lance Coporal Faire… do you copy?" Dare asked.
"Yes mam, I hear you loud and clear." Faire spoke into her comm.
"Private Crespo, do you copy?" She asked into the comm.
"… Jeez that was a hit, yeah sure, I copy." Mickey said. Clearly at that moment exiting the pod, as she heard something trip and complain.
"Excellent, Lance Corporal Dante, do you copy?" She asked, There was silence.
"I repeat, Lance Corporal Dante. Do you copy?" Dare asked once more.
"Oh dear." Anne said to herself.
ROOKIE
THREE MINUTES AFTER DROP
Rookie woke up from his sleep; he had a major headache and feels the need to vomit. He tried to compose himself, Rookie opened his latch, right in front of him. His pod was on teetering on the edge of a cliff, the height looked like one hundred stories, A drop that would kill him. Including that at the bottom of the cliff looked like a large pool of water… with sharp rocks.
Rookie could feel his pod moving, if he fell into the water he would probably die due to the heavy gear he was wearing, and the fact that he was still latched into the heavy ODST pod… which was teetering on the edge about to fall. Rookie then quickly undid the strap on him and threw his weapons out behind the pod. He prepared to climb on top of the pod and get out of this predicament. When he got on top of it, the pod finally flipped off of the edge and fell down, and Rookie jumped and caught the ledge, but he could feel himself slipping, Rookie was hanging on for dear life, finally he found traction and used it to pull himself up. He watched as his pod fell into the watery abyss.
"Jesus." Rookie said out loud. He then turned on his communication gear in his helmet.
Dare spoke up in it annoyed.
"Alright for the last time, Rookie… Are you there!" Dare roared.
"Jeez yes, what do you want to take my ears off?" Rookie asked.
"No, Mickey demanded we keep trying until we reach you, Isn't that right, Michael?" Dare asked.
"Yes mom." Mickey said, sadly.
"Alright, so what's the plan?" Rookie asked.
"You three are spread a mile apart from each other, regroup and you will then receive further orders." Dare said.
"If you cannot locate each other, find the local Marines and assist them. The Covenant is putting up quite a fight." Dare said.
"Wonderful, How are the others?" Rookie asked.
"They made it intact, they are currently working with the chief.
DUTCH
AT LANDING
Dutch sat in the Pelican, next to Master Chief and other ODST's, including Buck and Romeo. He looked down and saw Covenant troops firing on their pelican. The warthog linked to the Pelican fell off. One of the other pelican's shook and lost control, it fell out into the ocean. The pilot seemed to have trouble and had to land, Buck sighed.
"Brace yourselves; we're going in a little hot!" he yelled. They landed, Romeo shook from the sudden landing. They all checked they're equipment.
Dutch looked at the Chief, he was busy pulling out a Spartan Laser.
"Why do you get the big toys?" He asked Chief just stared at him then got off the ship; Dutch sighed and loaded a Battle Rifle. They quickly got out of the ship and started firing on the hostiles. Back immediately threw a grenade at a turret, it exploded and fell apart, as well as destroying the Grunt inside of it.
"Yeah!" Buck yelled.
"Don't get cocky, captain." Dutch yelled firing on a brute. Buck sighed and kept firing. The grunts met back with equal determination to murder them.
(Woah, it's been so long since I've updated, I was busy with school and just plain forgot, I was about half done with this chapter, then had to deal with other things, I can't believe they just announced Halo4, that got me excited.)
