Title: The New Objective
///////////////////////////////////////
Note: Well people I've enjoyed reading all of you comments through the reviews. I'm kind of running out of ideas. I have not seen a new review in two chapters three with this one. I need ideas of how to improve. I would appreciate some suggestions of how you would like this story to change .
Any way here is the next chapter.
/////////////////////////////////////
" Listen up people. The Spartans and me are going in. Where going to set off smoke grenades to give us some advantage and confusing the Covenant. Once the Smoke Starts we well go in with infra red. Any one who has any power for their Camouflage go in with it activated. We well take out enough Covenant and find a place to give us some cover. Once we find cover you Marines well come in. We well cover you." John said
" Lets move Spartans. Stay alert marines we well call you when we find some cover" John said
" We well be ready sir." The Sergeant said.
John nodded toward Ben and Adam who carried smoke grenades. They activated the grenades and through them toward. They blew up letting out smoke. They activated their infra red and some activated their Camouflage two of them where Zero and Kelly. The Infra red aloud them to see body heat. They all moved out weapons ready.
They passed the door way and immediately John detected Covenant bodies. The blast that had taken out the door killed out an Elite and three grunts which now laid on the floor. He spotted the five dead marines on ODST's on the ground. They where burned by the plasma.
" Pick targets and begin firing." John said
As soon as John said that gun fire started to come out of the smoke. The Covenant could not see the marines that began firing. They believed that they where marines but they had no idea that they where Spartans.
" Were all going to die!" One grunt said. Once he finished saying that he was hit in the head by Kelly with her battle rifle invisible.
The Spartans moved forward toward some crates that the covenant where using for cover.
" Kelly, and Zero move toward the sides of the crates and take out the Covenant behind them. We well use those crates for cover.
Zero took the right and Kelly the left. The got behind the crates and noticed three blue Elites and six grunts. Hiding trying to take cover from the gun fire.
Zero and Kelly both rolled grenades toward the. They went off killing the three elites and two grunts.
" Holy shit! It's one of them. I'm to young to die!" A grunt yelled out when he fired toward a moving transparent blur which when the plasma hit it showed the figure of Kelly's armor.
Zero and Kelly fired two round each killing the methane suckers called grunts.
As soon as the gun fire killed the grunts. The Rest Of the Covenant detected Zero and Kelly and began firing at them. Some plasma hit them. A plasma grenade landed next to them. They both climbed on the crates fast and jumped off them like super man to avoid the blast. They hit the ground and the grenade went off.
By that time the rest of the Spartans already took cover behind the crates. Firing back toward the Covenant. Zero and Kelly both got back up letting their shields recharge. They took cover behind the crates.
" Ok Marines move in! We have secured some cover!" John said
" Roger that sir." The Sergeant said
As soon as the ODST's began approaching the Spartans they got up from the position and began firing a constant wave of bullets to prevent the Covenant from firing on the approaching marines. They got to there position. The Spartans ducked down to reload. While reloading the Marines got up and began firing at the Covenant. They did that for some time Spartans fired and ODST's reloaded, when Spartans reloaded the ODST's fired.
Three ODST's laid wounded on the ground while a medic attended them, Their where only twenty five Covenant left and they where centralized in one point. Behind there own crates that where now full of bullet holes and Covenant bodies that where stacking up.
" Every one through a grenade toward there positions." John ordered
Thirty grenades where thorough but half landed perfectly behind the Covenant crates. They all blew up killing Covenant. The Grenades made a chain reaction with the plasma grenades making them blow as well. Covenant bodies where flying in the air. One grunt even landed on top of a ODST.
All the Covenant where killed. Covenant bodies laid all over the ground.
" Cortana call in the pelicans to pick us up. And tell the ships to begin orbital bombardment in ten minutes." John said
"Roger Chief." Cortana said.
" Mission is a success. Lets get out of here." John said
" You heard the Chief you bunch of low life mother fuckers! Grab our dead and lets got to top side." The Sergeant ordered out loud.
" yes sir!" The ODST's said.
They grabbed their dead and they climbed toward the extraction zone. In total six ODST's died. And three wounded.
The pelicans arrived and the loaded the wounded and the dead. They all got on.
" Not bad . We took out over a hundred Covenant and we only had minor casualties." John said to Cortana as he boarded the a pelican.
" Most of those casualties where people who had little combat experience chief. They did stupid things and for their mistakes they paid with their lives." Cortana added
" I have a feeling that soon we well be doing the same to the Covenant." John said.
The pelican flew back to the HQ. The Last John heard was the blast of the orbital bombing just ignoring it. He fell asleep.
//////////////////////////
Mars UNSC HQ:
" Chief wake up." Cortana said
Slowly John returned to reality.
" What is it Cortana?" John said
" We have landed." Cortana said
" Why did you let me fall asleep?" John asked
" I thought you needed some rest." Cortana said.
" Any way I have received orders that you the original Spartans have been called to talk to General Philips. They want you their and the rest ASAP in the meeting hall."
" Fine ill inform them." John said
John walked looking for the Spartans he told the all sixteen including him of the original batch of Spartans to go to the meeting hall.
They all began their way toward the meeting room. The Mars UNSC HQ was a lot smaller than New York's but it was big enough that it required long walks to get to places.
On the way to the meeting room. They passed a prisoner holding area. Their where four guards in the door to protect the room. Mostly Elites and some Jackals where held prisoner but the grunts have actually shown out to be quite use full. In trade for three meals a day and methane they do chores for the UNSC. Of course some are reluctant. John thought to him self that in reality grunts where always treated like shit with the Covenant they have always been forced to be cannon fodder. And the way he has seen the grunts they seem to like working better than being killed by the thousands. Of course the reluctant ones are kept in the prison. Even if the grunts do help there is never a guard to far away to make sure they don't do any thing stupid.
They arrived to their destination.
The Guards immediately let them in.
The Meeting room was smaller than the New York one.
The walked in.
" Welcome Spartans would you like to have seat." General Philips said
" Thank you sir but we rather stand." John said.
On the Meeting table he saw General Philips, Admiral Stanforth, Chief Mendez, and Dr. Halsley.
" I understand Chief. Any way we would like to start off this meeting to congratulate you all for your fine work. You have been able to wipe out all resistance. Now today we brought you to brief you of what is the next step. As you all know we have lost countless planets against the Covenant. With help of the captured Grunts and the few Jackals that have decided to help around we have information that tells us that some of the planets that we thought where glassed are actually in tact and the Covenant are using them for their own use. Our task is to take back those planets from the Covenant." General Philips said
" What planets might that be sir?" John asked.
" Well Chief one of the Planets is our main goal. It seems that The Covenant decided not to destroy Reach. Instead they are using it for their own use. They seem to think that it would make a good place to put a base that allows easy reach to Earth where ships and soldiers can be provided, re-supplied and repaired. This our main objective. We are going to take back what the Covenant have taken away from us. You well all board the new Battle Ship Ragnarok piloted by Captain: Luna where you well all begin the ground campaign to take back Reach. To help you out Dr. Halsley has something for you." General Philips said giving the floor to Halsley.
" Well Spartans I want to get to the point. All sixteen of you have been wearing the new armor. As you have noticed they have made you even more powerful than you where. But those are the normal armors that all the new Spartans are wearing as well. I have created new armors for all sixteen of you that is centralized to improve each one of your skills. In other words they are custom made just for each one of you. The armors are the same basic design of the Armors you are wearing now but your custom made armors have been improved even more. Some of you well be receiving A.I's which are smart A.I's like Cortana. We have only have six so I'm sorry that not all of you well have them. So I will the decisions to the A.I's of who they want to work with." She said.
" One Question Dr. Halsley?" Fred asked.
" What is it Fred."
" Well Dr. It all sounds impressive and all but I think I speak for the majority of all of us. When do we get to try the new armors out!?" Fred said
" Well Fred to answer your question. You get to try them out now we just need to make some changes to all of your Neural implants so you can operate the new armor. So please follow me." She said getting off her he seat and walked out of the room.
The Spartans followed.
