Chapter 9: Ripples In the Water
It had turned out that when a UNSC cruiser was captured inbound to Thandon a captured marine told where Thandon was located. Still sour from losing it to the humans the covenant decided to attack to get back their planet. The Covenant didn't know that 33 Spartans were there though. They were severely under manned to cope with Spartans waiting for them because the marine didn't know they were there either. That surprised top brass because the Covenant seemed to have a passion for overkill, mostly after the master chief destroyed the ring world. All of the training worlds for new soldiers were reinforced due to the attack. All soldiers now wore implants that would erase all memory of important information; they kept their fighting skills of course. Thandon was also reinforced to protect the remaining Spartans. This would be the first and last class though from Thandon, since the attack training would be conducted on another planet. It had taken weeks for all personnel to find the remaining Covenant. When the attack went wrong the battle cruisers left orbit leaving behind their soldiers. New reports showed that in fact 4,000 Covenant had touched foot on the surface. 3,379 were killed initially, 200+ have been killed since then. Of the 3,000 or so marines 925 were killed in total with a few here and there from wounds and clean up. Out of the 32 training Spartans 11 had been killed in the battle, including Karen and Brian. All of the Spartans were buried in their MJOLNIR armor in an exclusive grave. Sarah eventually got over the death of Karen. She was allowed to keep one thing of her sisters, the helmet. Know one knows why she chose it, not even her but it sits in a small case in her room. The master chief was called two weeks after the attack to help with an attack on one of the Covenants main worlds. The battle was expected to last at least six months. The remaining Spartans would join in after three months. The humans were finally striking back with a crimson colored fist. For some reason the spot where Karen died was the only area that seems to be growing back. A plausible explanation was that because the Grunts' blood along with Elites' are high in acidity and are preventing anything from growing. But most who were at the battle know why things are growing there. Karen gave her life to save others and someone of a higher power saw it and honored her.
Hey, this is mchmstr. This was my first fiction that I've let others read. I mostly write Halo because I know a lot about it. I do have another story that I co-wrote with my friend it's called Kingdom Farts; it's in the Kingdom Hearts area under parody and pg-13. The author is shenrin because I didn't have an account then so I couldn't post it. I wasn't sure if I should write a sequel to this but shenrin convinced me to. I have an idea but no title, so if you throw stuff out there I might use it'll be hard because you don't know the plot but hey! If you liked this story or you didn't just tell me so I know what to do different or to do better. Tell me though if I should re-write a story I have previously written:
The master chief is in an ice world when he finds his former partner Kelly. But the Covenant have done something that he doesn't know about but they want her back. Can he stop them from taking somebody he has feelings for or will she become a Covenant hybrid?
If you like it just say so in a review, put all other things that I wanted to know about in a review also. Thanks for reading Halo: The Recruit, hope you liked it.
