Marine: (Holding onto his rifle) geese it's cold! Marine 2: (Looking through binoculars) Yea well its better then being in that City. Marine 3: (Sneezes) Lt. Garth: I'm going to go call HQ (Walks, ducked down in trench, towards a small bunker) Gunner: (Is asleep) Driver: Man where are they? Marine: I don't know, lost maybe. Sniper: I think I see something! (All men jump down into the trenches, driver backs warthog into place gunner aims towards the oncoming silhouettes, all aim towards the now growing number of shadows) (2 Artillery shells explode in front of the trench, another one follows) Marine 6: Medic! (A combat medic rushes over to the wounded sniper; his legs have been blown off) Medic: Look out! (An Elite, in a Shadow, throws a grenade into the trench, 3 marines jump up and over the side of the trench only to get shot) (The grenade explodes taking off 1 marine's left leg, and another marines foot) Sgt. Arthur: Hold the Line! (Another shell lands in a fox hole containing 2 marines, and a sniper) Spotter: Coordinates Zulu Charlie, height 21 degrees Lt. Starber: Fire for Effect! (A Barrage of 20 125mm Howitzers replied gladly by blowing apart the Covenat's frontal firing artillery units) (A Covenat dropship drops of another Tripod [named by humans, Artillery cannon,] and it's entire crew) Marine: (Fires rocket at a Shadow, it bursts into flames and blows apart the driver) Yeah! (An elite tosses a weird smoke grenade, all the Covenat's Artillery crews aim at the Black smoke, three Covenat banshees fly in a V pattern formation and strafe the trenches) ( 4 Longsword fighters fire at the Covenat attacking waves) Marine 4: Fall back. Marine: Retreat. Marine 12: Run, they've broken through! (The Covenat Elites, Grunts, Jackals, and the new Brutes have started to jump into the first trench) (A Strafing bunker, with 2 mounted X27 Valkin guns, opens up on the Covenat from their left flank) (A Yellow Fang [Yellow Elite] with a plasma sword charges the bunker, deflecting bullets from the bunker as he runs) (A Marine blasts the elite in the side with a Jackhammer,) (Meanwhile)
Roger Young: LZ is hot (5 Dropships are following the 6th one that's in the lead), I see almost all Covenat, and a few Marines. Touch down. Go get 'em marines! (The newly arrived marines are terrified at the scene, amidst the snow and splintered trees there are dead Covenat and Human bodies everywhere, the snow is no longer white, it is red and purple) Survivor: (Trembling) Oh my god, their everywhere. (Cradles himself) the screaming. Capt. Stukov: Medic, Medic. I need a medic over here! (The surviving medic runs over to the bloodied body, the man has 2 pieces of metal in his chest, he is spitting up blood) (A loud blast is heard) Marine 7: INCOMING! (Enemy shells explode all over the trenches, foxholes, and fighting holes, some shells blow away some marines) Marine 9: (Shouting over explosions) Shit, They've zeroed this area in! (A shell hits a broken down warthog, flipping it into the air, it lands in an abandoned foxhole) (The shelling continues until 1230 hrs, the marines begin to slowly set up mortars, and Howitzers at the fall back position) Marine 8: Is everyone ok?! Marines: I'm ok/yea/no/Medic!
Oct. 20th 2nd Day of the siege
(Enemy troops have taken the tree line, and half of the town)
Medic: (walking alone in field trying to find his lines, is breathing hard, hears gunshots and explosions in the distance, he comes to a clearing finding a squad of marines dead, 12 to be precise) Damn (Walks over to the Lt; he is alive, but desperately wounded; drags him back to what looks like his line, it turns out he just snuck up on the enemies flank) (6 marines come up behind the medic) Marine 10: Shit we went the wrong way! Medic: Lets dig in here, if they charge our lines we can nail them from here. (They start to dig in) (The medic patches up the Lt, 2 marines go back and set up a rope to the new position, 30 marines come back they dig in deep and fast) (Darkness fall, a flare flies up, 200 Silver fang Elites are charging the frontlines slowly and stealthily, the medic and the men stationed in his area begin firing at the attacking enemy, it retreats finally) (At dawn all battalions receive word that the Covenat have broken through using the 57th Shadow Reserves, the 18th Div., and the 23rd Banshee, all soldiers are to retake the lost position at all costs, the medic and the men are forgotten, a lost battalion, for it was reinforced by 50 men) (It has dropped to -70) (The medic, and the men fire on the advancing enemy, it is 400 strong) Marine 11: Grenade! (Throws it into the advancing enemy it blows apart one elite and tear up another elites chest, a Covenat medic grabs the wounded elite and starts to pull him back, the allied sniper shots the medic through the head) (The elites keep coming) Medic: (Pops up and fires off a clip at an elite without a shield, it ruptures his neck and the elite falls to the ground bleeding) Joe. 6 Joe: 23. 24 Medic: . 25 (They are counting kills) (Joe throws a grenade, it explodes in the face of an Elite) (One elite pulls out a plasma dagger/knife he jumps at a marine, the marine blows him apart with a shotgun) (Another lobs a grenade at one of the marines, it catches on his helmet, the marine takes off his helmet and throws it at the advancing enemy, it blows off an elites arm) Marine 16: Heads up! (A shadow tries to fight its way through, only to be blown apart by a Jackhammer Mach 2 [Faster rockets, holds 4 rockets in a clip, needs one to operate]) (the enemy finally retreats back to its lines)
Day 4 of the siege
(The enemy attacks the lost battalion again) Medic: (Fires off one clip, killing two jackals) Ha, Ha, Pvt. Shworts beside you! Shworts: (Turns to his right and fires a clip into an elite it is hit in the eye, the chest, and the left arm) (The medic grabs the wounded elite, for a P.O.W.) Medic: Anderson, take out those gunners! (Anderson looks over his foxhole and sees that the Covenat are setting up "Tripods") Anderson: Whoa (Starts shooting at the gunners) John: MEDIC! (A shell hit Pvt. Shworts's foxhole) Medic: Holy shit (Shworts is severely wounded, and bleeding terribly, he has shrapnel sticking out of his chest, some of it took off his arm) (The day drags on from attacks, to retreats, to shelling, to attacks, so on and so on) (It is now dark, 1120 hrs) (They hear explosions, and gunshots in the distance) John: Sounds like their trying to take back the territory! Medic: (Hears a loud train) INCOMING! (The tripods begin firing on their position)
(Four shells hit the front abandoned trench) (2 shells exploded to the right of, the line) Joseph: Everyone stay down those were just placing shoots! (Suddenly every single tripod began firing right on the line, one of the marines got his leg sliced by shrapnel) Medic: STAY DOWN! (One marine jumps up and runs back towards the HQ) John: Where you going? Marine: Getting ammo, Tommy and I are out! John (Gives thumbs up, 12 tripod shells explode around John's fighting hole, John crawls up to the mounted chaingun, he was still down on his knees yet now he was firing full auto!)
Day 5 of the siege
We're surrounded
Narr: It is extremely cold, the men have only the ammo they have with them, a medic is running to get to the frontlines, he trips and falls in the snow, a snipers bullet hits right behind him! (The medic runs as fast as he can, his hands bleeding from the snow, he comes up on a lone sniper, Human, he's trying to shave, the cream freezes to his face, a bullet flies by his head he jumps behind the log and levels his rifle at a Covenat sniper, and puts a bullet through his head; he turns and fires at the medic who dives to the ground) Medic: Hold your fire! (The sniper goes about trying to get the frozen cream off, he has 2 bullets left) Medic: Got any morphine? Sniper: Here, what you need it for? Medic: I'm going to split it with my friend, head down the line and see if anyone's hurt. Sniper: Well my friend back that way (Points towards the ammo depot), has a terrible case of trench foot. Medic: Ok, be careful enemies are accidentally getting into our lines. (A shell explodes in the distance, the medic and the sniper stand up) Sniper: Come on! (At the frontlines the Covenat are attacking again, this time crazed, and extremely PISSED OFF!) (Shells explode everywhere, the Covenat throw grenades, it looks like they may get through till a rocket explodes in the group of charging Covenat, its Brad (MIA with 3 rocket launchers) and he's firing his rockets left and right at the Covenat) (Brad runs up to the front fighting hole) Brad: Here (Throws the medic a rocket launcher) (Brad walks over to John (Out of ammo) and gives him one as well) (He turns and fires off 2 rockets killing 5 with the first, and a Covenat shadow with the second) (The Covenat retreat under a hail of rockets, and rifle fire) Medic 2: I have an IDEA!
(1 hour later)
Medic 2: The plan is we will make the Covenat fall back letting our forces charge through, now this will have to be extremely well timed, at 0100 we will fire all our rockets, and what's left of our, bullets and the rest of the Howitzer shells, hopefully this will cause the Covenat to panic, then at 0105 hrs our forces will attack causing their lines to break, we should then be re-supplied and re-outfitted. (This plan would fail the Covenat would retreat and the lost battalion would accidentally shell their own men) (They felt miserable, till they were awarded the Medal of Honor for holding out without food water or ammo, 2 died from lack of food, 6 died from Covenat snipers, Brad was awarded the Medal of Honor for single- handedly saving the lines from a breakout, He was promoted to LT. All the men at that battle would follow him loyal, it's time to push the Covenat out of Russia, and rescue the Russian military [50,000 strong] held up in the city of Stalingrad [sorry if I spelled wrong])
Part 3
Operation Turning Point
Lt. Brad: (Surveying the maps) Hmm. Lt. Severs: looks like 4 new experimental 150mm Packtworf's. Lt. Scarp: they have a trench around the whole thing, a junkyard here, that has some possibilities, 2 trenches to the north of the shrubbery and 3 plasma machineguns guarding their asses. Lt. Brad: I've got a plan, ok 2d battalion under the command of Lt. Scrap, you will set up a base of fire from the underbrush, use heavy machineguns, mortars and a single Howitzer we want to stay as mobile as possible, 3d under the command of Lt. Severs, you will hook right and take them on their left flank, my men will fire sniper fire from the junkyard, once we capture the outlying trench the two Tripods will probably open up on us, hold that trench at all costs, we will move in and take those guns, and use them against them! Lt. Barts: What about my men and I? Lt. Brad: You fire those heavy 180mm Flaks at the enemy from back here, ok boys tell your 2nd in commands the plan!
(The 180mm Flaks are huge artillery units, they need 8 guys to man one, 4 to carry the huge shell, and 4 men to put it in position, if it isn't broke don't fix it, our government's policy is if it isn't broke fix it till it is!) (0500 hrs, the sun is rising barely making visible the Covenat Packtworf's, the big guns were silent yet their presence made the men fretful and jumpy! (If you heard a loud whistle it was going to hit you![The Packtworf's shell])) (The Packtworfs were huge artillery units that looked like an old WW2 German Flak 88 cannon, yet it had one major difference it fired as semi- auto!) (Brad and his men ran into the junkyard, they hopped in some of the broken down cars, warthogs, and scorpions. They all have sniper rifles!) (Lt. Severs gave the sign that his men were ready, Brad radioed HQ,) Lt. Brad: Fire a flare! (A shell that give off light to special sensor helmets for placing shoots.) (The flare hit the exact spot of the Covenat's Tripod locations) Lt. Brad: FIRE FOR EFFECT! (The instant the first shell hit all the men fired on the Covenat position) (Surprisingly the Covenat retreated to the Stalingrad Wall)
What the hell was that? (Covenat secret weapon will soon be released)
Narr: Life has a funny way of kicking your ass, and then handing you a toothpick to heal it with! Narr 3: Why do the Covenat enlist their greatest enemy on their 2nd greatest enemy? Narr: Isn't that something, the Covenat Promise to wipe out all humans and they need help! Narr 4: It proves that humans are worthy to be their rivals, and ready to fight to the death! Narr 3: Humans are an interesting species, yet our race of experiments will wipe out all! Narr 2: I object! Narr 5: Why do you a Forerunner, object to your creation? Narr: The flood are my masterpiece not his! Narr 4: They're at it again! Narr 2: We have to intervene! Narr 5:Ok fine, call in all of our drones! (250 red dots appear on the screen displaying the locations of all the ring worlds and the remnants of the Alpha Ring) Narr: I count 12 trillion of our 14 trillion drones still remain.
Marine: RUN (He was shooting at the oncoming wave of flood) (The Human sharpshooters [Conveniently positioned 1000 meters away, cowards] fire franticly on the advancing flood) (12 Howitzers fired in invasion style causing very un-aimed fire) (Lt. Brad and his men were retreating at full speed, in full sprint; they didn't want to see the chasing flood, or fight hand to hand; not until the new unit, properly named AF units [anti-flood] that fought with pure auto shotguns [Duke Nukem fans can smile] and specialized combat axes) (Stats on Auto-Shotgun: Name- the "T97" Firing rate: 100 rounds a minute Clip: 10 shells Ammo: Specialized X97 Explosive Shotgun Shells Developed in: Germany Designed by: the Browning Company Specialty: Killing Flood/Hunters) (With the help of the AF, the 10th sniper, the 12th marine (Brad's Men), and the slaughtering fire from mounted machineguns and Artillery destroyed all 500k of the flood) (TIP: In Halo the sniper rifle sucks balls against the flood, yet 20 shots and eventually the flood zombie will go down) (The Eastern Wall explodes, the many holes in it let the second wave of flood in dangerously outflanking the humans, every flood they killed, 30 more jumped over or through the wholes in the wall.)
Part 3 You expect us to trust YOU!
(The flood are still poring over the wall, the humans are in panic causing their minds to turn to mush (They'd shot anything that moved) 4 marines walk up to the wall and start filling the holes with mines and mounted weaponry, when they look through the see an awful site, millions of laser drones! Marine: What the hell are they doing here? (Starts firing up at them) Medic: Fall back! (He also starts to fire) (The drones fly forward and begin to shot at the flood not the humans) Marine 2:? That's odd! (A MONITOR [the little bowling ball hovering chattering traitor from the first halo] he flies over to the humans general) Monitor: Greetings I am the monitor of ring world 11032, I'm here to help. General: (Looks at him distrusting) Why should I believe you? Monitor: Oh I realize you had some trouble with us on the Alpha Ring, don't be alarmed the Forerunners have sent us to help you, you see we have a great disgust of the newly created flood and are trying to help all that would fight them. (The general doesn't know what to do, they are willing to help, Earth's forces could use an ally, oh what the hell) General: Ok then go help reinforce that wall, we need to keep it, it is a strong point if we lose it we lose this battle.
(Meanwhile [Earth and Forerunners have allied against the Covenat, and against the enemy to all flood] at the Battle of Locks Hill)
Marine: I need ammo! X.O. Brad: (Talking to a Sgt.) Take your men and set them here, this will help strengthen these two areas at the same time. (He was promoted to Battalion leader) Sgt: Yes sir! (2 Covenat Yellow fang jump over the shrubbery and into the center of 2nd platoons line) X.O. Brad: (Raises his new Massacred Pistol, he fires the whole clip at one of the yellow fang killing it, the other one kills a marine before another marine kills him) I need a machinegun nest on that shrubbery! Pvt. Armando: (Throws a grenade at an elite, the elite has his mouth open giving orders, the grenade rams straight down his throat and explodes) La Bomba! Pvt. Manning: (Throws an axe [fireman's axe] at a charging Elite, it stabs into his chest and he trips on a branch making him fall causing the axe to go deeper) (Picks up a knife and throws it at an elite, it goes straight into his left eye) (Finally grabs a clip of ammo for his gun) Marine 3: Bah (An elite hits him upside the head then stabs him in the chest with the Covenat equivalent of a bayonet, theirs is long with serrated edges and is attached to their arm not the gun) [Reminds me of Jango Fett's arm piece and the predator's hand talons] (The marines are firing down on the enemy's part of the hill, hill looks like this ^-marines at-were Covenat are) Marine 4: Heads up! (12 ramps smash down onto the western shrubbery, the Covenat run up the ramps and land in the territory, 5 yellow fang elites jump over the southern part of the shrubs, a Covenat shadow breaks through the eastern side) X.O. Brad: Retreat! (The marines begin to run being chased by Covenat swordsmen and Covenat Tanks/Shadows, they run back to their old trenches, they need to retake that hill)
Final Charge 0600 hrs
(They all set up their mortars, and 125mm Howitzers, the plan was to take the hill and use a Revolutionary War technique standing side by side aiming down on the Covenat, holding up their sniper rifles, they would all fire hopefully wiping the Covenat out) Lt. Spears: FIX BAYONETS! (The men grabbed their bayonets, slide them in place, this was a do or die attack, the plan was to charge the hill down the other side and right through Covenat HQ, they grabbed their assault rifles they would not stop running) X.O. Brad: (Hesitantly). Charge! (The artillery begins to fire the mortars and Howitzers blowing apart the Covenat hill defenders, the marines charged, a marine took out his combat knife and uppercuts it into the throat of an elite, he then grabs an axe that was left when they retreated, he charges an Elite the elite swings, its blow is deflected by the axe, he swings it at the elite it slits into his chest, he starts spiting up blood, the marine runs forward and dives headlong into a hunter knocking it over) (Brad takes out an old saber, he slashes at a charging elite, while reloading his rifle, the elite takes the blow in the left arm) (The Marines brandish their weapons, then charge over the hill, the Covenat leader is watching his men retreat, the first marine can see the dumbfounded look on his face) Marine: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! (The marines pulled out there knives and short handed weaponry, they attacked head on hand to hand fighting) (A marine slashes a Covenat's neck) (Another deflects a Covenat bayonet then uppercuts him in the neck) (All the riflemen line up aim their sniper rifles then on the word fire, let loose a barrage of Shield-piercing shells, 27 Covenat fall to the ground dead) (2 marines throw grenades from the hill, the first grenade blows up in an Elites face the second explodes stabbing an elite full of shrapnel) (Brad and his men charge the entire Covenat lines, the lines break and the Covenat run heading back towards the Stronghold of Light) (Each marine is awarded the Medal of Honor; Brad is a double recipient)
Marine: (Holding onto his rifle) geese it's cold! Marine 2: (Looking through binoculars) Yea well its better then being in that City. Marine 3: (Sneezes) Lt. Garth: I'm going to go call HQ (Walks, ducked down in trench, towards a small bunker) Gunner: (Is asleep) Driver: Man where are they? Marine: I don't know, lost maybe. Sniper: I think I see something! (All men jump down into the trenches, driver backs warthog into place gunner aims towards the oncoming silhouettes, all aim towards the now growing number of shadows) (2 Artillery shells explode in front of the trench, another one follows) Marine 6: Medic! (A combat medic rushes over to the wounded sniper; his legs have been blown off) Medic: Look out! (An Elite, in a Shadow, throws a grenade into the trench, 3 marines jump up and over the side of the trench only to get shot) (The grenade explodes taking off 1 marine's left leg, and another marines foot) Sgt. Arthur: Hold the Line! (Another shell lands in a fox hole containing 2 marines, and a sniper) Spotter: Coordinates Zulu Charlie, height 21 degrees Lt. Starber: Fire for Effect! (A Barrage of 20 125mm Howitzers replied gladly by blowing apart the Covenat's frontal firing artillery units) (A Covenat dropship drops of another Tripod [named by humans, Artillery cannon,] and it's entire crew) Marine: (Fires rocket at a Shadow, it bursts into flames and blows apart the driver) Yeah! (An elite tosses a weird smoke grenade, all the Covenat's Artillery crews aim at the Black smoke, three Covenat banshees fly in a V pattern formation and strafe the trenches) ( 4 Longsword fighters fire at the Covenat attacking waves) Marine 4: Fall back. Marine: Retreat. Marine 12: Run, they've broken through! (The Covenat Elites, Grunts, Jackals, and the new Brutes have started to jump into the first trench) (A Strafing bunker, with 2 mounted X27 Valkin guns, opens up on the Covenat from their left flank) (A Yellow Fang [Yellow Elite] with a plasma sword charges the bunker, deflecting bullets from the bunker as he runs) (A Marine blasts the elite in the side with a Jackhammer,) (Meanwhile)
Roger Young: LZ is hot (5 Dropships are following the 6th one that's in the lead), I see almost all Covenat, and a few Marines. Touch down. Go get 'em marines! (The newly arrived marines are terrified at the scene, amidst the snow and splintered trees there are dead Covenat and Human bodies everywhere, the snow is no longer white, it is red and purple) Survivor: (Trembling) Oh my god, their everywhere. (Cradles himself) the screaming. Capt. Stukov: Medic, Medic. I need a medic over here! (The surviving medic runs over to the bloodied body, the man has 2 pieces of metal in his chest, he is spitting up blood) (A loud blast is heard) Marine 7: INCOMING! (Enemy shells explode all over the trenches, foxholes, and fighting holes, some shells blow away some marines) Marine 9: (Shouting over explosions) Shit, They've zeroed this area in! (A shell hits a broken down warthog, flipping it into the air, it lands in an abandoned foxhole) (The shelling continues until 1230 hrs, the marines begin to slowly set up mortars, and Howitzers at the fall back position) Marine 8: Is everyone ok?! Marines: I'm ok/yea/no/Medic!
Oct. 20th 2nd Day of the siege
(Enemy troops have taken the tree line, and half of the town)
Medic: (walking alone in field trying to find his lines, is breathing hard, hears gunshots and explosions in the distance, he comes to a clearing finding a squad of marines dead, 12 to be precise) Damn (Walks over to the Lt; he is alive, but desperately wounded; drags him back to what looks like his line, it turns out he just snuck up on the enemies flank) (6 marines come up behind the medic) Marine 10: Shit we went the wrong way! Medic: Lets dig in here, if they charge our lines we can nail them from here. (They start to dig in) (The medic patches up the Lt, 2 marines go back and set up a rope to the new position, 30 marines come back they dig in deep and fast) (Darkness fall, a flare flies up, 200 Silver fang Elites are charging the frontlines slowly and stealthily, the medic and the men stationed in his area begin firing at the attacking enemy, it retreats finally) (At dawn all battalions receive word that the Covenat have broken through using the 57th Shadow Reserves, the 18th Div., and the 23rd Banshee, all soldiers are to retake the lost position at all costs, the medic and the men are forgotten, a lost battalion, for it was reinforced by 50 men) (It has dropped to -70) (The medic, and the men fire on the advancing enemy, it is 400 strong) Marine 11: Grenade!

(The enemy attacks the lost battalion again) Medic: (Fires off one clip, killing two jackals) Ha, Ha, Pvt. Shworts beside you! Shworts: (Turns to his right and fires a clip into an elite it is hit in the eye, the chest, and the left arm) (The medic grabs the wounded elite, for a P.O.W.) Medic: Anderson, take out those gunners! (Anderson looks over his foxhole and sees that the Covenat are setting up "Tripods") Anderson: Whoa (Starts shooting at the gunners) John: MEDIC! (A shell hit Pvt. Shworts's foxhole) Medic: Holy shit (Shworts is severely wounded, and bleeding terribly, he has shrapnel sticking out of his chest, some of it took off his arm) (The day drags on from attacks, to retreats, to shelling, to attacks, so on and so on) (It is now dark, 1120 hrs) (They hear explosions, and gunshots in the distance) John: Sounds like their trying to take back the territory!

Day 5 of the siege
We're surrounded
Narr: It is extremely cold, the men have only the ammo they have with them, a medic is running to get to the frontlines, he trips and falls in the snow, a snipers bullet hits right behind him! (The medic runs as fast as he can, his hands bleeding from the snow, he comes up on a lone sniper, Human, he's trying to shave, the cream freezes to his face, a bullet flies by his head he jumps behind the log and levels his rifle at a Covenat sniper, and puts a bullet through his head; he turns and fires at the medic who dives to the ground) Medic: Hold your fire! (The sniper goes about trying to get the frozen cream off, he has 2 bullets left) Medic: Got any morphine? Sniper: Here, what you need it for? Medic: I'm going to split it with my friend, head down the line and see if anyone's hurt. Sniper: Well my friend back that way (Points towards the ammo depot), has a terrible case of trench foot. Medic: Ok, be careful enemies are accidentally getting into our lines. (A shell explodes in the distance, the medic and the sniper stand up) Sniper: Come on! (At the frontlines the Covenat are attacking again, this time crazed, and extremely PISSED OFF!) (Shells explode everywhere, the Covenat throw grenades, it looks like they may get through till a rocket explodes in the group of charging Covenat, its Brad (MIA with 3 rocket launchers) and he's firing his rockets left and right at the Covenat) (Brad runs up to the front fighting hole) Brad: Here (Throws the medic a rocket launcher) (Brad walks over to John (Out of ammo) and gives him one as well) (He turns and fires off 2 rockets killing 5 with the first, and a Covenat shadow with the second) (The Covenat retreat under a hail of rockets, and rifle fire) Medic 2: I have an IDEA!
(1 hour later)
Medic 2: The plan is we will make the Covenat fall back letting our forces charge through, now this will have to be extremely well timed, at 0100 we will fire all our rockets, and what's left of our, bullets and the rest of the Howitzer shells, hopefully this will cause the Covenat to panic, then at 0105 hrs our forces will attack causing their lines to break, we should then be re-supplied and re-outfitted. (This plan would fail the Covenat would retreat and the lost battalion would accidentally shell their own men) (They felt miserable, till they were awarded the Medal of Honor for holding out without food water or ammo, 2 died from lack of food, 6 died from Covenat snipers, Brad was awarded the Medal of Honor for single- handedly saving the lines from a breakout, He was promoted to LT. All the men at that battle would follow him loyal, it's time to push the Covenat out of Russia, and rescue the Russian military [50,000 strong] held up in the city of Stalingrad [sorry if I spelled wrong])
Part 3
Operation Turning Point
Lt. Brad: (Surveying the maps) Hmm. Lt. Severs: looks like 4 new experimental 150mm Packtworf's. Lt. Scarp: they have a trench around the whole thing, a junkyard here, that has some possibilities, 2 trenches to the north of the shrubbery and 3 plasma machineguns guarding their asses. Lt. Brad: I've got a plan, ok 2d battalion under the command of Lt. Scrap, you will set up a base of fire from the underbrush, use heavy machineguns, mortars and a single Howitzer we want to stay as mobile as possible, 3d under the command of Lt. Severs, you will hook right and take them on their left flank, my men will fire sniper fire from the junkyard, once we capture the outlying trench the two Tripods will probably open up on us, hold that trench at all costs, we will move in and take those guns, and use them against them! Lt. Barts: What about my men and I? Lt. Brad: You fire those heavy 180mm Flaks at the enemy from back here, ok boys tell your 2nd in commands the plan!
(The 180mm Flaks are huge artillery units, they need 8 guys to man one, 4 to carry the huge shell, and 4 men to put it in position, if it isn't broke don't fix it, our government's policy is if it isn't broke fix it till it is!) (0500 hrs, the sun is rising barely making visible the Covenat Packtworf's, the big guns were silent yet their presence made the men fretful and jumpy! (If you heard a loud whistle it was going to hit you![The Packtworf's shell])) (The Packtworfs were huge artillery units that looked like an old WW2 German Flak 88 cannon, yet it had one major difference it fired as semi- auto!) (Brad and his men ran into the junkyard, they hopped in some of the broken down cars, warthogs, and scorpions. They all have sniper rifles!) (Lt. Severs gave the sign that his men were ready, Brad radioed HQ,) Lt. Brad: Fire a flare! (A shell that give off light to special sensor helmets for placing shoots.) (The flare hit the exact spot of the Covenat's Tripod locations) Lt. Brad: FIRE FOR EFFECT! (The instant the first shell hit all the men fired on the Covenat position) (Surprisingly the Covenat retreated to the Stalingrad Wall)
What the hell was that? (Covenat secret weapon will soon be released)
Narr: Life has a funny way of kicking your ass, and then handing you a toothpick to heal it with! Narr 3: Why do the Covenat enlist their greatest enemy on their 2nd greatest enemy? Narr: Isn't that something, the Covenat Promise to wipe out all humans and they need help! Narr 4: It proves that humans are worthy to be their rivals, and ready to fight to the death! Narr 3: Humans are an interesting species, yet our race of experiments will wipe out all! Narr 2: I object! Narr 5: Why do you a Forerunner, object to your creation? Narr: The flood are my masterpiece not his! Narr 4: They're at it again! Narr 2: We have to intervene! Narr 5:Ok fine, call in all of our drones! (250 red dots appear on the screen displaying the locations of all the ring worlds and the remnants of the Alpha Ring) Narr: I count 12 trillion of our 14 trillion drones still remain.
Marine: RUN (He was shooting at the oncoming wave of flood) (The Human sharpshooters [Conveniently positioned 1000 meters away, cowards] fire franticly on the advancing flood) (12 Howitzers fired in invasion style causing very un-aimed fire) (Lt. Brad and his men were retreating at full speed, in full sprint; they didn't want to see the chasing flood, or fight hand to hand; not until the new unit, properly named AF units [anti-flood] that fought with pure auto shotguns [Duke Nukem fans can smile] and specialized combat axes) (Stats on Auto-Shotgun: Name- the "T97" Firing rate: 100 rounds a minute Clip: 10 shells Ammo: Specialized X97 Explosive Shotgun Shells Developed in: Germany Designed by: the Browning Company Specialty: Killing Flood/Hunters) (With the help of the AF, the 10th sniper, the 12th marine (Brad's Men), and the slaughtering fire from mounted machineguns and Artillery destroyed all 500k of the flood) (TIP: In Halo the sniper rifle sucks balls against the flood, yet 20 shots and eventually the flood zombie will go down) (The Eastern Wall explodes, the many holes in it let the second wave of flood in dangerously outflanking the humans, every flood they killed, 30 more jumped over or through the wholes in the wall.)
Part 3 You expect us to trust YOU!
(The flood are still poring over the wall, the humans are in panic causing their minds to turn to mush (They'd shot anything that moved) 4 marines walk up to the wall and start filling the holes with mines and mounted weaponry, when they look through the see an awful site, millions of laser drones! Marine: What the hell are they doing here? (Starts firing up at them) Medic: Fall back! (He also starts to fire) (The drones fly forward and begin to shot at the flood not the humans) Marine 2:? That's odd! (A MONITOR [the little bowling ball hovering chattering traitor from the first halo] he flies over to the humans general) Monitor: Greetings I am the monitor of ring world 11032, I'm here to help. General: (Looks at him distrusting) Why should I believe you? Monitor: Oh I realize you had some trouble with us on the Alpha Ring, don't be alarmed the Forerunners have sent us to help you, you see we have a great disgust of the newly created flood and are trying to help all that would fight them. (The general doesn't know what to do, they are willing to help, Earth's forces could use an ally, oh what the hell) General: Ok then go help reinforce that wall, we need to keep it, it is a strong point if we lose it we lose this battle.
(Meanwhile [Earth and Forerunners have allied against the Covenat, and against the enemy to all flood] at the Battle of Locks Hill)
Marine: I need ammo! X.O. Brad: (Talking to a Sgt.) Take your men and set them here, this will help strengthen these two areas at the same time. (He was promoted to Battalion leader) Sgt: Yes sir! (2 Covenat Yellow fang jump over the shrubbery and into the center of 2nd platoons line) X.O. Brad: (Raises his new Massacred Pistol, he fires the whole clip at one of the yellow fang killing it, the other one kills a marine before another marine kills him) I need a machinegun nest on that shrubbery! Pvt. Armando: (Throws a grenade at an elite, the elite has his mouth open giving orders, the grenade rams straight down his throat and explodes) La Bomba! Pvt. Manning: (Throws an axe [fireman's axe] at a charging Elite, it stabs into his chest and he trips on a branch making him fall causing the axe to go deeper) (Picks up a knife and throws it at an elite, it goes straight into his left eye) (Finally grabs a clip of ammo for his gun) Marine 3: Bah (An elite hits him upside the head then stabs him in the chest with the Covenat equivalent of a bayonet, theirs is long with serrated edges and is attached to their arm not the gun) [Reminds me of Jango Fett's arm piece and the predator's hand talons] (The marines are firing down on the enemy's part of the hill, hill looks like this ^-marines at-were Covenat are) Marine 4: Heads up! (12 ramps smash down onto the western shrubbery, the Covenat run up the ramps and land in the territory, 5 yellow fang elites jump over the southern part of the shrubs, a Covenat shadow breaks through the eastern side) X.O. Brad: Retreat! (The marines begin to run being chased by Covenat swordsmen and Covenat Tanks/Shadows, they run back to their old trenches, they need to retake that hill)
Final Charge 0600 hrs
(They all set up their mortars, and 125mm Howitzers, the plan was to take the hill and use a Revolutionary War technique standing side by side aiming down on the Covenat, holding up their sniper rifles, they would all fire hopefully wiping the Covenat out) Lt. Spears: FIX BAYONETS! (The men grabbed their bayonets, slide them in place, this was a do or die attack, the plan was to charge the hill down the other side and right through Covenat HQ, they grabbed their assault rifles they would not stop running) X.O. Brad: (Hesitantly). Charge! (The artillery begins to fire the mortars and Howitzers blowing apart the Covenat hill defenders, the marines charged, a marine took out his combat knife and uppercuts it into the throat of an elite, he then grabs an axe that was left when they retreated, he charges an Elite the elite swings, its blow is deflected by the axe, he swings it at the elite it slits into his chest, he starts spiting up blood, the marine runs forward and dives headlong into a hunter knocking it over) (Brad takes out an old saber, he slashes at a charging elite, while reloading his rifle, the elite takes the blow in the left arm) (The Marines brandish their weapons, then charge over the hill, the Covenat leader is watching his men retreat, the first marine can see the dumbfounded look on his face) Marine: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! (The marines pulled out there knives and short handed weaponry, they attacked head on hand to hand fighting) (A marine slashes a Covenat's neck) (Another deflects a Covenat bayonet then uppercuts him in the neck) (All the riflemen line up aim their sniper rifles then on the word fire, let loose a barrage of Shield-piercing shells, 27 Covenat fall to the ground dead) (2 marines throw grenades from the hill, the first grenade blows up in an Elites face the second explodes stabbing an elite full of shrapnel) (Brad and his men charge the entire Covenat lines, the lines break and the Covenat run heading back towards the Stronghold of Light) (Each marine is awarded the Medal of Honor; Brad is a double recipient)
