History of Mars: Mars had been populated two hundred years ago and slowly humans where able to create an atmosphere for it. It took many years but finally thanks to the hard work of many Mars was now capable of holding life. The planet still had the red to it. Mars was considered to be just a huge red sand dessert with oxygen on it. The UNSC found that Mars was the perfect place to make Ore. With it's huge supply of Ore it was the perfect place for a Ship Yard. It eventually turned into the UNSC main Ship Yard. If it fell then production of new ships would decrease dramatically. Mars was responsible for 60% of the UNSC ship production and 30% of materials for weapons.
/////////////////////////////////
The Black Op Covenants approached the complex with thirst for blood. They had no idea what happened to there second group that now all laid dead on one of Mars many cannons. They arrived in to position. The orders where given for the Wraiths to begin firing. The wraiths charged there weapons and huge plasma salvos where launched on to the complex.
/////////////////////////////
Ship yard:
The ship yard was built like a fortress . It had huge walls to prevent entrance and only one main entrance. It had guard towers positioned two hundred Ft apart. On one of the towers was Rachel. She was looking through her sniper rifle. She located the wraiths and saw the plasma salvo coming there way.
" Zero we have incoming wraith fire from the north. I recommend taking cover." She said through the com
" Roger Rachel. I want the coordinates of the wraiths so the scorpion tanks and the artillery can get into position and begin to fire."
" Understood Zero calculating coordinates. The coordinates are 123 degrees N by 200 degrees E."
" Roger Rachel."
Zero was standing on the arches that connected the towers. He noticed that the plasma salvos missed the complex and just hit it's walls. The first shots where just a test shots next salvo would not miss. He went down a latter and joined the ODST's and marines that where six hundred strong. They stood right out the main entrance which was big enough to fit scorpion tanks a hogs to go in and out.. They where on alert standing behind the barricades that they created. With him where forty five Spartans the other twenty where on the guard towers armed with sniper rifles. The other fifty Spartans where with the Master chief completing their mission.
He gave the orders to the artillery guns to begin firing.
They did as told. The guns fired 120 millimeter salvos that could hit targets miles away.
" Snipers chose your targets and begin firing." he ordered
They began firing. When they picked their targets.
The first salvo of the artillery guns where a direct hit taking out half the wraiths on the fist barrage. The remaining wraiths opened fire once again then after firing they moved to take cover from the artillery guns.
The covenant began firing on to Zeros position. Plasma rounds just flew by them. The Marines and Spartans began firing.
Zero aimed for the elites and hunters. He armed a grenade on his battle rifle and shot it off destroying a ghost in the process. He armed another one and fired onto a hunter and some brutes. It killed the brutes but left the hunter only with minor damage. He armed another grenade and fired, this time killing it and launching the body into the air making the body fall on top of some grunts.
His shields took damage but the shield display did not even change or show that his shields where being hit.
The new Spartan armor was proving to be extremely resilient. The ODST's where not as lucky they could take a lot of damage but there shields could not last if it was being fired upon constantly with out a chance to let it recharge.
A plasma grenade landed a few feet away from Zero. He tried to jump out of the way but it was to late, it went off. The explosion pushed him in to the ground face first. It took away a quarter of Zero's shield. . That just proved to Zero how powerful his new armor was. The marine next to him was not so lucky. His shield took most of the damage but he was hurt considerably. A medic came over and began to pull him out of the battle to treat him. If it weren't for the marines shield he would have been dead. He got back up and began firing again. Another marine took the hurt marines place and began firing.
" Ok, I want the tanks to move out." Zero ordered to the Scorpion tanks.
Four tanks powered up and moved out with five Wart hogs following. He noticed that one of the hogs had a rocket launcher on it but it had no one to use it. Zero walked up to the driver.
" Need a gunner marine?" Zero asked
" I would appreciate the help sir." The marine responded.
" Well what are we waiting for?" Zero said hopping on to the gunner post that contained the rocket launcher he pulled the safety off and locked and loaded it.
" Lets show no mercy!" He said
" Yes sir!" Both the passenger and driver shouted.
The wart hog fired up and accelerated following the scorpions. The scorpions stopped on to of a hill that gave them the height advantage and began firing.
" Ok marines how do you feel about making some road kill?" Zero asked
" But sir I just gave my hog a spit shine I don't want to ruin my hard work." The driver said kidding.
" Well if it gets dirty marine ill personally help you clean it once it's all over. Let move out." Zero said
He ordered the other hogs to do the same.
Three of the hogs where armed with the LAG guns and two including his had the rocket launchers.
" YE HA! We are going get ourselves some road kill! Tell the cooks that we are having Grunt stew!" A marine yelled out on one of the other hogs. Trying to sound all cowboy like.
" The one with the least kills ends up washing the hogs!" the driver in Zero's hog said.
They flanked the Covenant and opened fire.
Zero aimed toward a group of hunters. He shot them twice and killed them.
The driver hit a ghost sending it into the air. Zero aimed for it and fired on it while it was in the air killing the driver and destroying the ghost.
" Nice Shot sir!" The passenger said firing his SMG's
" Nice Driving marine!" He answered back
Zero saw a golden elite ahead.
" Driver pass by the elite I want to give him a surprise." Zero said.
" Yes sir!" The driver responded.
The hog ran over grunts and jackals with ease as it got closer to the Elite.
Zero took out his plasma sword and activated it. With one hand he held on to the rocket launcher. He extended out his arm with the energy sword.
The Golden elite saw Zero with the sword at the last second. Before he knew it the Elite was headless.
Zero use the moving Hogs momentum to chop off the Golden Elites head with his sword.
He grabbed on to the rocket launcher once again and began firing it leaving total chaos behind them.
He saw one of the other hogs pass by them. But then it was launched into the air when a Wraith plasma shot hit it. It launched the marines into the air if not killing them or severely hurting them.
" Driver lets take out that wraith."
" Understood sir."
The hog zig zagged trying to avoid the wraiths bombardments.
They got closer and Zero began firing at it. It took four shots to destroy the wraith and leave it in dismay.
Then Zero noticed a wraith salvo ready to hit them.
" Abandon the vehicle!" Zero yelled out.
The Marines jumped out. Zero was last one but the Plasma hit the hog and him sending him flying ten feet. He landed hard on the ground.
The marines ran toward him.
" Sir are you all right!?" the driver said.
Zero got up and noticed that half his shield was gone. He let it recharge
" I'm ok. Just seeing stars." He said
Then plasma gun fire flied by them.
" Find some cover! Ill cover you!" Zero said
" Yes sir!" They both said.
The ran toward a boulder
Zero took out his rifle and began firing on to the Covenant. While slowly moving back words toward the marines. Then he saw a brute that began running toward him ready to attack. All of the sudden his rifle went Click he pressed the trigger again and it maid Click again.
" Fuck!. I'm out of ammo!" He yelled out. He had no time to reload.
The Brute came close enough for striking distance. He took a swing at Zero with his bladed weapon. Zero dodged right avoiding it's attack. He round housed the Brute on the back with his left leg. Making it scream out in pain. He right side kicked it in the side of it's ribs. He heard it's ribs crack. He grabbed his rifle and swung at it's head like if it was a base ball bat. The Brute dropped to the ground.
Zero dropped his rifle and grabbed his shot gun and fired once on to the brute making sure it was dead.
Before he knew it an Elite slammed his weapon onto Zero's back .
" God damn!." He scream out.
He backed kicked his attacker killing it's shields on the first attack. He struck the Elite in the head with a back fist as he turned around to attack it. And he fired his shot gun on to its chest killing it.
Zero was starting to get over whelmed. He took out his sword trying to hold his attacker back. He sliced the air with his sword with precession, killing anything it had contact with. After killing a dozen or so Elites and brutes with his sword.
Five Black op elites appeared. All five activated there own plasma swords.
" Fuck!" He managed to say
They stood twenty feet way from him.
Then he heard the whistle of a rocket go passed him impacting the ground around the Elite's killing them.
Zero turned around and saw Adam with the smoking barrel of a rocket launcher on his shoulder.
" The Calvary has arrived!" Adam said through his com.
" It's about fucking time John!" Zero said toward him.
" I think we arrived on time. One more second and those Elites would have sliced and diced you Zero." Cortana said laughing
" Funny Cortana you cant kill me that easily." Zero said with a smile.
" Lets get moving we have mop up duty here." John said.
Zero joined the Master Chief and his team of Spartans with one hundred ODST's backing them up.
Soon enough all the Covenant laid dead on the ground with vehicles and bodies all over the place.
The UNSC had taken a total of two hundred wounded and one hundred dead.
Inside the complex where the Spartans talking to each other and other marines.
" Well I guess we won this engagement." Cortana said
" We are finally able to kick Covenant ass on both land and space." Kelly said.
" Soon enough I think we well be on their door step and they well know what we felt." the marine that drove Zero's wart hog said.
" Well I don't know about you but I'm not cleaning up all that shit." Fred said looking at all the Covenant bodies out side of the complex on the ground. It was filled with body parts and purple and orange blood all over the ground.
" Any volunteers?" John said
