Halo: Mercy

Title: The Chiefs New Purple Ride!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I think it was about time to let the Master Chief enter the Story so here is the introduction of the Master Chief.
Since he does not require an introduction here is the nest chapter of Halo: Mercy
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Master Chiefs Long Sword:
" So many lives wasted. Was there another way Chief?" Cortana said
The master chief was sitting on the pilot seat of the Long Sword.
" Who knows Cortana, but it was the best option that we had at the moment. I understand that many good people died at that hell whole." Chief said.
He stopped to remember some of the men and women that had died on Halo. He remembered all the brave marines that fought next to him. He remembered Captain Keyes, the guy was getting old but the Chief new that there was more to him that many people thought. The human race lost a good man there.
" We did what we had to do. This war has enough fallen heroes. But as long as there are heroes who stand up for a cause there is still hope. Plus we just might of bought the human race some time. We took out the entire Covenant armada. That was nothing but short of a miracle." Chief said.
" a miracle or was it my genius ways of commanding and glorious advise." Cortana said with a smile.
" Sure Cortana I was the one who did the fighting." Chief said smiling at her comment.
" Any how where to next?" Chief asked
" Well we need to get to Earth. I've learned a lot of info that we can use against the Covenant." Cortana said
" What kind of info?" Chief asked
" The kind of info that could upgrade the entire fleet and at least give us a better chance of survival." Cortana answered
" Oh you meant use full info. How long well it take us to get to Earth?" Chief asked
" That could be the problem. About one month. The long sword has slip space engines but they are very under powered. As long as we fly in this it well take a month." Cortana said.
" One month. Damn. What would I do for a new ride." Chief said
That's when Cortana located something on her radar.
Cortana smiled to her self.
" Well chief I think you just might of had your wish come true. You just might have a new ride but I don't think you well like the colors, does purple go with your armor."
" Don't tell you have located a Covenant ship?" Chief said
" You bet your ass I did but that's not the good thing. I'm detecting very few hostiles on board. I have no idea how many but I think we could handle it. Are you up for it Chief." She said
" You no me Cortana. I cant go one day with out ruining a couple if lives. Lets do it." he said.
The Long Sword made its way toward the Covenant ship. It happened to be a Frigate. It was smaller than a cruiser but it would do nicely. They arrived to a safe distance from it.
" The ship is called Mercy. And it seems that it's shields are down."
" Time for some boarding action Cortana."
The Chief got up from his seat and grabbed his weapons. He had MA5B rifle but he only had 1 ½ clips left. He had kept his shot gun and he grabbed it. It had 7 rounds remaining. His M6D pistol only had 2 clips. He only had two frag grenades and one plasma grenade.
" Not the equipment that I would rather have but I have very little choice." He said to him self.
The Long Sword got closer to the Frigate Mercy. When they go close it seemed that it had been damaged. Not badly but it was enough to stop it's shields from working.
Cortana Piloted the Long Sword into one of the hangars. She landed it.
John walked over the control panel and yanked Cortanas A.I out and put it in his helmet.
John felt her presence in him.
" Ill never get a hang in being in your suit chief." Cortana said
" Your comment is understood but we have a mission ahead of us." He said
John pressed the switch that opens the back door of the long sword. It opened up and John walked out slowly checking for any bogies. He looked all over the place and began to walk when he felt that it was cleared.
" Ok chief I'm reading no hostiles on our area but I'm reading about twenty hostiles in the bridge. If you ask me the Covenant on the ship are survivors from Halo. I putting a way point toward the bridge. I hope you can handle it by your self tell then. I'm going to see if I can get into the ships systems." She said
" I think that I can find my way to the bridge." He said
John got on the move on. The way point read 150 M. He went into the first set of doors. The way the ship was built was very familiar to John. It was exactly alike as the Truth and Reconciliation back at Halo. He asked him self " Don't the Covenant have any imagination?"
John finally made his way to the bridge. He was just out side the bridge from the entrance.
He took a peek inside and saw four-teen grunts, five Jackals and a Gold Elite. The grunts where asleep and the Jackals didn't seem to be very alert. The Elite was facing a control panel tying things in.
" Well here goes nothing." John said
He took out his plasma grenade. He activated it and through it at the Gold elite. It was a direct hit. The grenade went off taking out the elite and a jackal. By then the remaining enemies went nuts.
" Oh Crap the Commander is dead a grunt said! Every grunt for him self!"
The chief took out his last grenade and bade it bounce toward the Jackal it we off killing three Jackals and leaving the last one with it's shield down. The Chief took advantage of this and went in al gun ho. Two short burst took out the last jackal.
John took out his shot gun fired four shots at the killing them all. The bridge was cleared.
John grabbed all the Covenant weapons and stacked them up in a pile.
" Well Cortana it seems that the ship belongs to us." he said
Cortana whistled
" You made quick work out of them." she said
" All in a days work" he answered back.
" Well go see how this thing works."
Chief walked toward the Control panel that the Elite was using. He looked at it.
" Look chief it seems that there is a slot for an A.I. Yank me and insert me in to the slot." Cortana said.
John did what he was told.
" Well how does it feel?" he asked
A Hologram of her appeared.
" It's amazing. So much information that we could use. You do realize that by doing this we have finished the mission that we where originally send out to perform." she said
" Fate works in funny way Cortana." He answered.
" We can you fly it?" He asked
" What do you think? Well it seems that with these slip stream engines we can be at Earths door step in 2 days." she informed John.
" Well that's a big improvement. So what stopping us? Lets go home."
