CHAPTER 1
Halo The End Of The Beginning
10/02/03
The scene is misty and faintly dark. The air is filled with a smell of water excreting from the swamp. Master Chief sits motionless on his Warthog taking in the serene beauty when, from his built in communicator; a clear voice spills into his ears disrupting the peace. "Master Chief, are you there?" The Chief waits for a few seconds realizing that it was Cortana, an artificial intelligence. Though most AI constructs are simple in their methods and design, Cortana seems to compute most tactics and combat strategies much more efficiently. "Yes." The Master Chief responds. "Where the hell have you been? Cycor, one of the inner planets has been attacked by the Covenant. The 1st Class Battle corvettes are demolishing the enemy in the air, but the ground forces are surrounded and pinned down." Cortana is cut short due to Master Chief activating his communicator. "Ok, ok! I get the point. But I am in the outer ring planet system Usher. How is it possible to travel such a great distance in a short amount of time?" Cortana replies with amusement and pride. "If you recall, halo was able to transport solid matter through slip stream particle space." Master Chief interrupts again. ".Yes, but that was because I was being teleported due to the power built inside halo." Said Master Chief irritably. "You don't get it, do you? Look beyond that. The energy is gathered from the original big bang affect. All you have to do is concentrate that power in the right directing and." "Do it!" "One moment. I have to triangulate your position." Master Chief seems to drift off in his own space no longer concentrating on Cortana. His mind gravitates to preparing him self for battle. No longer does emotion pulsate though his body, but an inner hatred for the Covenant. It is not known who stated the intergalactic battle, but all is known that there is one point to this war. Illumination of the species. Master Chief Loads his Assault Rifle Armor Piercing rounds attaches a few grenades and clicks his helmet into position. ".If I'm not careful, I might position you a few feet from your target destination." "I'm ready." Master Chiefs vision blurs, his body turns phantom to his mind. Circular lines vibrate up his body making him vanish entirely. The surrounding swamp returns to its peaceful state. Frogs chirp and the wind blows through the marshy trees. The only thing left to tell that the Chief was there, is his warthog sitting motionless. The next time the Master Chief opens his eyes will be in the face of danger and unknown challenges.
