CHAPTER ONE

0600 Hours, (Spartan 117 Military Clock)

Year 2553, Aboard the Justice

Four days later. . .

Master Chief was woken abruptly from his catlike sleep. The Justice had just emerged from Slipstream space in Earth's vector. While Master Chief had been stationed on the Justice he had inserted Cortana into the ship's AI slot. Cortana had already initiated the landing vector on Earth. At the moment Cortana was decoding the exact coordinates from UNSC personal on theplanet.
Master Chief once again walked into the bridge, this time not invited. Not that being invited really matter since he was a Spartan he could gain access to almost every place on the ship. He stepped up to the viewport. "Wow . . . " The Chief began. The Chief had never really seen Earth but he knew what life was like on the bluish-green planet. Life on his planet had been almost identical to Earth's.

Captain Thomas Kiel stepped up behind him and patted The Chief on his MJOLNIR Armor padded shoulder and said, "Ain't she a beauty?"
The Chief responded, "Well of course sir." Master Chief turned and saluted to Thomas.
"At ease soldier."
"Thank you sir." At that, The Chief turned back around and admired the lush planet. He awaited arrival, but knew there would be complications. Debriefing. After that thought he banished the idea from his mind and continued to admire it.
Cortana then started talking to the Justice's nav. computer operator, probably telling him the LZ coordinates. Cortana then started talking to The Chief, Ready for Earth Chief? I know I am. Landing in thirty minutes.
The thirty minutes that passed were quite uneventful, and as the Justice landed on Earth's soil Cortana ordered The Chief, Snag me. The Chief then pulled the cube of information that was Cortana out of the ship's AI slot and then pushed the cube into the back of his neck.
Ah. The Chief's head, hello again, Cortana chuckled.
"Stow it Cortana," The Chief dryly replied. The Chief then jogged off the landing ramp. In around ten minutes the marines had filed out and many cheered. The debriefing crew took the Chief and Cortana away from the other team and brought them to the debriefing office.

Meanwhile. . . .

16 John Massey climbed out of bed at seven-o-clock in the morning. He crept downstairs and

tiptoed to the phone. He first called Zach Basset's room, "Hey Zach, get over here at 7:10, call Justin, and Anthony."
"O.K.," Zach said from the other line. Zach then called both Justin, and Anthony and told them to meet at John's house at 7:10.
At 7:10 everyone piled into the living room. He and all of his friends were 16.They knew what to do. John hooked his X-Box into the circuitry of the T.V. John then got out of his cabinet the all mighty game "HALO". He then hooked in four controllers and put the game CD into the X-Box.
He pushed the button to start the game. As the menu came up and he almost automatically picked multi-player and they started a slayer set to 15 kills, and picked Gulch as the level.
Justin and John started off around Red Base, and Anthony and Zach started around Blue Base. John first ran off to grab a sniper rifle and a pistol. He then got into a Warthog and drove off to the hills. Justin grabbed an assault rifle and a shotgun and headed to Red Base.
Meanwhile, at Blue Base, Zach grabbed a shotgun and pistol, and Anthony got a rocket launcher and assault rifle. Anthony got into a Ghost and tried to run Zach over, but as he had just missed Zach a bullet pinged through the air. Anthony fell . It was from John's sniper rifle. Hehad ditched his Warthog and ran up one of the mountain crevices to get into a good sniping position.
Zach ran up to a Scorpion tank and started to drive across the screen. When he got to the middle he got out for a minute and dropped his pistol for a rocket launcher and an active camouflage. But right as Zach got the camouflage Zach was butted by a shotgun on the back of his neck.
"Ah. . Justin. . ."Zach groaned as he waited to reappear.

Approximately 13 minutes later. . . .

The four boys got up off the floor and John said, "Hey guys, I'll go get some snacks."
"O.K." The other three responded. Then, as John had came back into the room with some chips and four Dr. Pepper's there came a knock on the door.
"This is the UNSC, please come with us," A sturdy looking official said as John opened the door, "This is the Massey residence, yes?"
"Uh huh," John nervously replied. He thought, What the hell is going on? Who is this guy? Does he want all of us or just me?
"Could you and your friends come with me," The official asked.
"What do you want with us," Justin interjected.
"Yeah, and what about are parents, do they know who you are," Zach asked.
"I assure you, your parents know the risks we are taking," The official responded, "Now please come with me."
"O.K. come on guys, let's see what this "UNSC official" wants with us," John said to the rest of his group.
