John was sitting on an ammo crate taking a byte out of a stale meal bar. He was inside the Barracks that he and the Spartans once called home.
" Damn these bars are made of concrete." John said trying to chew on the bar.
John was left there talking to him self while Cortana went in to hack what was left of the Covenant online network using John's armor as a base.
Kelly, Fred, Adam, Rachel And Zero walked to John.
They stopped and took a seat next to John. They took their helmets off as well.
There was silence for a while but Fred broke it.
" Been a while since we were here." Fred said
John and the rest nodded. They all looked around the room.
" We had some of our best and worst times here but it's good to be back." Kelly said.
" Talking about that, look at what Zero and me found at Mendez's old office." John said
He opened one of his armor pouches and took out the photo he had taken from the office. He passed the picture of them when they where kids while in training around the group.
Wide smiles appeared on their faces.
" Well like always I'm the best looking one there." Fred said passing his hand through his hair trying to look sexy.
Kelly shoved her elbow into his side. Making Fred gasp for air and begin to rub the areas where he was hit.
" You wish Fred. If I remember well when you where little you where just a bucked tooth little wimp. I remember you crying when we first got to the base because one of the instructors hit you. Un like John who kept his cool you where a whining little kid." Kelly said.
They all laughed at the comment remembering what Kelly said.
" It's weird remembering those days it feels that it happened a hundred years ago. Funny how those kids that we were became what the Covenant fear the most. Mendez did a good job with us. It seems that the Mendez kind of slacked off training the new Spartans. I wonder why." Adam said
" I know why." John said
The group looked at John
" Mendez is getting old. He can't keep up like he once did." John said
" Mendez getting old how can that be he looks fine to me. He looks like he could still kick my ass. How do you know that John?" Zero said.
" I see it in his eyes. He coughs a lot. I think those cigars that he smoked all the time have taken a tool on his lungs. Plus before we left Halsey told me that his health wasn't to good. He's done a good job to hide it but he doesn't fool me." John said
That's when Cortana interrupted.
Sorry to interrupt your nice talk but I have some info that we might be interested in." Cortana said
John showed some interest.
" It so happens to be that there are still UNSC troops that where left behind when we left Reach. They have been doing guerrilla tactics for all this time. Trying to stay alive." Cortana said
" You should tell Admiral Stanforth about this Cortana." John said
" I'm not done yet Chief. It seems that some of our Covenant enemies decided to Rebel on there people and have been working with the troops that where left here. It seems that not al the Covenant agree of what there superiors are trying to do to us. I'm sending this to the admiral. Probably the same reason that the Covenant that we captured on Mars have not showed resistance. Instead they have been helping us." Cortana said
John got up a put his helmet back on grabbed his riffle and some ammo.
" What are you doing Chief?" Cortana asked
The other group of Spartans did the same.
" Stanforth is going to tell us to go pick up the troops so I'm just getting ready." John said eager to get some action.
" How do you know he well send us." Cortana said.
The other AI's in the Spartans armor asked the same question.
They all responded the same.
" Call it a hunch." They all said.
Stanforth came in trough the comm.
" Cortana good work finding this info. I'm sending you and the Chief with some Spartans of your choice and a squad of ODST's to go pick them up. I've given the orders for some Pelicans to pick you up. Now both you and the Chief do what you both do best and make this mission a success." Stanforth said
" Yes sir." John said through the comm.
" Good luck Chief." Stanforth said through the comm. Closing.
" All five of you are coming with me. So get your gear and meet me outside." John said walking out of the barracks.
John walked out when a Corporal ODST came up to him.
" Master Chief sir. We got out orders we well be coming with you and your team to support you. Our Sergeant is waiting for you. The drop ships well be here shortly sir." The Corporal said.
The Spartan team of Kelly, Zero, Fred, Adam and Rachel stopped where John was.
"Lead the way Corporal." John said
" Yes sir." The Corporal said
The Corporal led the Spartans to a Pelican landing pad. Where the team of ODST's was waiting patiently.
A black SGT. Walked over to the Spartans. He stopped and saluted.
" Master Chief it's good to work with some one like you. I've heard many things about you and your Spartans. My kid is fond of you sir. Maybe when this mission is over if you don't mind you can let me take a picture and send it to my kid." The Sgt said.
" No problem." John said with a smile but his helmet hid the smile.
" Thanks you sir. By the way the name is Sgt. Marshall." Marshall said.
Five Pelicans appearing in the sky interrupted him. One landed to pick up the troops. The other four Pelicans would be used to transport the soldiers they where on the way to pick up.
They all got on the Pelican and got strapped in.
" Welcome to my Pelican troops. I hope none of you get nauseous because I just cleaned this bird. If you even think about puking or even bleed on my bird then I'm going to make you clean it with your tong. Now that I've said that please have a nice flight." The Pilot said joking.
" Hey pilot check this out." The Corporal that led the Spartans to the LZ said.
The pilot turned around to see the Corporal spit on his floor. The Pilot gave him the finger for what he did.
The ODST's began to laugh it even made John and the Spartans chuckle.
" You want to try some thing because ill love to kick your ass." The Corporal said
Sgt. Marshall interrupted.
" That's enough corporal. If you don't shut up he might decide to leave your ass stranded on the ground once we accomplish the mission." Marshall said.
The Corporal stopped talking and laid back on his seat.
The pelican finally took off with the other four pelicans following it.
They flew for about five minutes when two Long swords fighters appeared to protect the pelicans.
About half and hour later Cortana interrupted.
" We are getting close to the LZ. Ill try to contact them." Cortana said
Cortana opened a channel for the radio.
" Does any UNSC forces read this. If you do please respond." Cortana said.
No Answer.
She tried again.
" If any UNSC personnel are reading this respond this is Echo 117." Cortana said.
There was silence for a couple of seconds. Finally someone responded.
" Echo 117 we respond. Are you for Real." A man asked
" Affirmative, what is your situation?" Cortana asked.
" We are under attack we could use your help!" the man said.
" We are on our way. Just hold on we well be there in about three minutes." Cortana said
" We well try." The man said cutting off. Before it went off the sound of human rifles and plasma where going off.
John got up from his seat.
" Pilot push it to the Max!" John ordered.
" Yes sir!" The pilot responded.
He pushed the throttle to the max.
John sat down in time to be pushed back by the G's. To Be Continued.
