The Lost

Darnn it! Why did Eric volunteer to go on this suicide mission. Maybe he's not at fault. I did volunteer to come with him after all. thought Berter as he ran full speed though a forest knocking down trees like an elephant and cursing as he did so.

Eric slow down I can't keep up my left leg has a bend in it. Berter yelled as he came to a stop.

replied Eric as he stopped. But we need to be very careful we're only a mile away from the mech factory. They're sure to have patrols this close to such a important base.

Im all done. called out Berter as he bent his leg back to normal.

Erik took a quick look at the injured leg and said. That should hold till were back at base...

Well there's the base. Berter plainly stated as he stood shocked at the site of the factory.

My god there must be 40 mechs around the place. Eric exclaimed as he took a photo of the site. We better get back to base and give them the info on this factory. he added this as he and Berter began on there long trip back home...

Hey Berter that last mech was pretty tough. Eric said in one of the short times of peace.

Yes, it was. Berter said.

I don't know about you Eric but my battery is half dead and my leg is breaking. Berter said and he continued on to say. How long till we reach the trench.

Well by my calculations one more day at that moment a purple mech attacked killing Berter in a split second and nearly killed Eric.

Damn it that devil lived! Well not for long! growled an Elite stylishly named Poo'sttttiiky. Poo'sttttiiky swung around to attack again and missed cursing the enemy as he did so.

Eric was in shock, that thing had just killed his best friend and it nearly got him to. You bastard! Eric yelled at the top of his robotic lung's, as he plunged his fist into the mech's cockpit killing the Elite but not before the Elite said. You shall burn in hell, infidel...



One man lost his life a great man General I know he was not important but he was my friend. How did they know that's all I want to know? Eric ask sadly.

They must Have heard something on their ground sensors. They have new one's that might be able to hear our foot steps...



This is a photo of the mech factory. It is well protected and they will Know we are coming Said a tired old General as he addressed 1000 soldiers. Who were standing up and ready to go on their mission. They knew what they had to do and they would succeed...

Eric checked his gun as he left the front lines to let his shield recharge and get some more clips. Do you know were I can get a couple clips. Corporal Eric asked a Sergeant.

Who replied. Yes right here I grabbed some spares before I left the base. As he handed Eric two clips...

Go get them A red Elite yelled as the battle raged on around him. shortly before his mech failed. He managed to get out only to die from a well aimed shot.

Great shot Eric! Sergeant Mercer remarked at the shot fired by Eric that had killed the red Elite.

Yeah it was. He must have been 5000 meters away. Exclaimed Eric ducking to Dodge a fuel rod blast that hit Mercer and sent him flying 3 feet. Mercer no! Eric screamed running to see if survived. Eric quickly saw that Mercer was injured and called for a medic.

Is he going to live. Were the first word's out of Eric's mouth when the medic arrived.

He's fine. The doctors can save his brain. See, his head's untouched. said the medic as he placed Sergeant Mercer's head in a plastic box. He'll be fine in a couple of days.

Okay if your sure. replied Eric as he returned to the raging battle.

Eric sprayed fire wildly in all directions. The only upside to the hole situation was that most of the mechs had already gone done and all the enemy had left were Grunt's. Within ten minutes all the Covenant were dead and the factory was destroyed.

Mopping up operations are winding down and most if no all of the Covenant are dead. spoke General Wester as he debriefed the troops who were left uninjured. But there are many of are our enemy's still alive and will continue till we have made all of them pay in blood! As the General finished all the men in the room cheered...


Eric can I talk to you for a minute? Wester asked. Im very worried about you. You lost a friend and you don't just shrug that off. You are going to be checked out by a shrink if I have anything to say about it.

Okay Sir if I must. Eric replied

Well Eric I think I can give you a clean bill of health. You see it seams that your brain was damaged and you lost the portion used for long term sadness. droned a somewhat competent doctor who's real degree seemed to be in boring people.

I see doctor. So when do I go back to work. said Eric while climbing out of the brain tank.

Any time you want to but theirs a shuttle do to leave tomorrow to a military ship and you can leave then.

I think I will. Eric said as he left...


Hey buddy. cried out a clinging shipmate of Eric. Who was openly hated by every person on the ship except Eric who was to polite to yell at him.

What is it Eric replied in a slightly annoyed voice. As he sat down at the table and began to eat his breakfast.

Well friend, looks like we have the same duty's today that way we can spend all day today together.

Eric was a very nice person but the prospect of spending all day talking to this moron made him so mad he felt like puking. No we cant talk during are shift we need to work the whole time or we will get into trouble. Eric said in a desperate attempt to save him self a day of hell.

Okay Eric I see your point and I will not talk to much today. I really don't want to get in trouble. replied the crewmen nicknamed the Noid by the rest of the crew who spent many hours trying to get him in to trouble.

Later that day it became clear that the Noid had forgotten his pledge not to speak constantly and Eric's temper was wearing thin. you've said that ten times already and I can't
take it any more! Eric said as he picked up a wrench. At that moment a blast rocked the ship killing the noid and making Eric pass out...

Where am I Uttered Eric as he slowly came back from a trip to lala land.

You are in a forunner ship infidel. You shall suffer for your hubris. How dare your species survive when try to destroy them. We are your gods when we say die you die.

What a jerk. Eric thought, busily fixing a short circuit in his head.

Sire there are 50 human ship's hot on are tail and they are gaining on us. spoke a low ranking forunner who was stationed at the ship's sensors computer.

Why, Why, will they not learn we are gods they cannot kill us no matter what they do. thought the top ranked forunner.

Sir we have the forunner ships on our light array. You know what its pretty funny they think a simple cloak can hide them from us. said a sensor officer to his commander.

Good work son. Can you believe those bastards captured a human ship. Their holy dominance crap must be wearing off if they need our technology, and are resorting to capturing transport ships to get it. The commander pondered the forunner's stupidity for a minute then said. We'll will show them who the gods are! Let's capture their ship and kill them all! Yelled the commander as he pressed the button firing the ship's emp weapons at the forunner ship stopping it in it's track


Why have we stopped Screamed the head forunner on the ship as he strangled his engineering officer.

Please Sire I don't know but I will try to find out if you let go of me. Choked out a scared forunner.

Okay then but you better hurry our you will die a very painful death. Said the head forunner. as he let go of the engineers throat.
