Halo: Mercy
Ch: 20
Title: First Space Shots Fired
/////////////////////////
Hell yeah! Finally the 20th chapter. I would like to thank my mom and dad all my family and friends. J/K any way I hope you like my last plot twist at the last chapter. To answer your question Rune Knight about how the flood got there, your just going to have to read on. If I told you it would ruin the plot for the next setting after Reach. Kept it kind of short sorry but I had to study for test.

" John what the hell where those things?" Fred asked poking the remains of the spore with his combat knife.
"That thing is the reason that I blew Halo up. Those things killed every thing from marines to the Covenant. One of those fucking spores killed Captain Keyes." John answered.
" You telling me this small thing killed all of those people?" Kelly asked
"It's not that the little spore is capable of killing it's the spores ability that took so many lives." Cortana answered
" What are they poisonous?" Fred asked.
" No. Those things attach to any living creature and create a symbiosis with the host. The host loses all control of its body. Eventually the body begins to decay and become deformed. It's host strength doubles and become quite deadly. One spore alone can be easily taken out but when one of those things takes a host it's a completely different story. But when those small things attack not only one-attacks but dozens to even hundreds attack a potential host at the same time. That is why John and me call them The Flood." Cortana informed every one.
" If those things would of escaped Halo then we would have been looking a wide spread epidemic. It seems that my efforts where useless. Those fucking Covenant must have taken some samples." John added
" Freaky shit." Zero said.
" Cortana can you find out how the Covenant brought this spore to Reach?" John asked
" It might take some time Chief but I recommend we move on ill check it once we have full control of the base." She said
" Understood lets move out." John said
The walked out of the lab where the marines where guarding the entrance.
" OK troops lets move." John ordered
" Yes sir." They all said.
The Spartan group took the lead.
They went ahead and expected every single room that they came up with and got reed of any resistance behind them.
After clearing the complex they went back out side the building. It seemed that all major fighting was over with. Many of the Covenants ran from the base scared shitless.
" Chief the Prowler is coming in." Cortana said
John looked up to find nothing tell finally the cloaking device was shot off. The ship landed in the middle of a field that was in the center of the base.
John was impressed seeing the ship landing.
John found his team of Spartans in the corner of his eye around a flagpole It seemed that none of them where hurt or dead. He walked toward them.
He saw Kelly holding up what seem like a folded cloth. She soon un-folded it revealing the UNSC flag. With some help she began to raise it. Every one stopped and saluted while the flag went up.
When it was fully up on the pole. All the troops went back to work.
John looked at the flag and felt pride swell up in him. To him it was a wonder full sight. He was finally back on Reach.
" Chief the other Prowlers are coming in." Cortana said
" Good, the faster they get here the faster we can begin to take back Reach." John said with determination.

Leviathan II:
" Sir the Prowlers have taken full control of the base." A young man told Stanforth
" Good as soon as we get out of slip space fire on the first Covenant ship we see. I don't want them getting any funny ideas and begin attacking the base from orbit. Don't give them a chance to even react to what happened down there. Charge all weapon tell all other ships in the group to do the same." Stanforth said
"Yes sir!" The same young man said.

Covenant Assault Cruiser The Wakening:
A Gold Elite named Efil who was in command of the Fleet around Reach sat on his chair unknown of what happed to the base on Reach.
Finally a Red Elite name Toh for short came up to him.
" Your great one I have some bad new to report." The elite said.
" This should prove interesting. What is the news Toh?" Efil said.
" Your great one we have no idea how it happed. But the humans have taken over one of the bases on the planet sir. Not only that but the base contained the Flood spores that we had collected." Toh answered
" What! How did they get by our defenses?" Efil asked shocked.
" Sir we have no idea at this point but it seems that it's going to be impossible to take back the base." Toh said
" Why is that?" Efil said
" They have landed a total of ten ships around the base. The ships have the entire area covered with weapons that would shred any number of units that we would send to take it back. Not only that but their super soldiers are there. And with them is the angel of death him self. (By angel of death I mean John.)" Toh informed his higher-ranking commander.
" Is it really the human that took out Halo installation 04 and one of our armada's? Hmm. I want you to bombard the base. That way we well take out those super soldiers and the Angel of Death him self with one mighty swoop. The Prophets well be over joyed to hear the new that we killed the Super soldiers. Both of us well receive great promotions." Efil said
" As you wish." Toh said
He gave the orders to begin bombardment.
The ship began to charge it's weapons to fire on to the now UNSC controlled base. Before it fired. A cruiser in front of The Wakening was hit by something. The ship exploded and began to fall on to Reach. Other ships around The Wakening suffered same fait's.
" Sir it's them." Toh said
" Damn those fucking humans damn them all." Efil said slamming his fist on his console.
