[A/N: I realize how early this is up and it's because I'm still in school
so I don't have a job, and it's summer vacation. I don't have anyone to
mention for reviews since it's only been a couple days so I might as well
just let you read chapter 1 now. Chapter 1 is actually halo level 2 just
because I don't feel like writing about all the twisting corridors, and
maze-like composure of the Pillar of Autumn. For those of you Zelda fans
that don't know about halo. I strongly suggest you play the game or buy the
book (Halo: The Flood) and you might get hooked on it. Please Read and
Review.]
CHAPTER 1: Who the Hell are you?
Master Chief swung the warthog jeep around a large rock and toward a large grey structure emitting large blue beams into the sky. The structure was constructed by the forerunners, the ancient race that built the ring, Halo. "Yeehaw!" shouted one of the gun-wielding, lightly armored marines in the passenger seat as the warthog slid across the rough ground at 140 kph. The loud noises from the large rear-mounted machine gun quickly drowned out the excited marines screams as the gun-operating marine cut down a few stray grunts and a jackal. Master Chief slammed on the brakes and stopped the warthog inches away from the building.
"This is the last building, marines. Radar shows no baddies or marines topside so we have to search beneath the structure. I've got the point," said Master-Chief into his suit's radio. The Master-Chief stood nearly seven feet tall in his dark-green MJOLNIR armor. This armor was composed of the most advanced alloys and circuitry, including a regenerating shield. Master-Chief was a Spartan warrior, one of only around 100 selected individuals. Throughout the Spartans youths they trained to be in peak physical condition and when around 20 years old they underwent a highly- dangerous procedure to give them enhancing implants to augment their strength, agility, sight, hearing, jumping, and toughness. These implants were crucial to utilize the ton that was the MJOLNIR armor.
MC (Master-Chief) slowly walked down a ramp going beneath the building, holding a MA5B assault rifle. When he reached the bottom he heard the yelps of two frightened grunts from the bottom of the next ramp. He grabbed a M9 HE-DP Grenade and threw it down the ramp. After the explosion he rushed down and saw the dead carcasses of the grunts splattered against the wall, blue blood all over the ceiling, walls, and floor. He walked into the next room and saw three marines and one technician from the Pillar of Autumn engaged in a fire-fight with a handful of grunts and jackals. Two well- placed grenades from MC's supporting marines ended the Covenant's resistance and enabled the marines to escape with MC. "This is Cortana to Echo 419, Foehammer, do you copy?" inquired Cotanta, the Artificial Intelligence unit in MC's suit.
"This is foehammer," replied a harsh woman's voice.
"We need immediate evacuation, 6 marines, Master-Chief, and one technician," said Cortana.
"Affermative, Cortana, I'm on my way," said foehammer before closing the com.
MC led the marines out of the building only to see about 70 Covenant troops, mostly grunts. MC took a quick estimate of the numbers before running back into the complex for cover. "There's 50 grunts, 15 jackals, and 5 elites. Echo 419 won't be able to give us a ride until we've cleared most of the baddies. Me and Eric will hold the north side, Peter, and Jacobs will hold the East side, and Nina will hold the south side with Yuri and the technician. Got it?" said MC.
"Got it," came the reply from everyone. Master Chief and Eric took opposite sides of the door and poked their heads and guns out. A few moments later MC heard the whimpers of grunts being pushed ahead by elites and he took out a plasma grenade. When the first grunt came into view he activated the grenade and threw it. The sticky grenade attached itself to the grunt's face and the creature ran backwards into it's own ranks. Two seconds later there was a large explosion and MC and Eric saw blue and purple blood fly into the room at the bottom of the ramp followed by a grunt head and two jackal's bodies.
"Let's charge," commanded Master Chief before jumping out of cover and running toward the remaining Covenant forces with Eric right behind. They burst into the open field and shot down ten grunts before the pair of Elites organized the forces. A barrage of needles and plasma scorched the walls of the building near the entrance but MC and Eric had ducked into the building in time. Eric and MC crouched behind inside the small hexagonal room with the exit leading outside, guns at the ready. A plasma grenade flew into the room and hit Eric's assault rifle. He quickly threw it outside and when five grunts were rushing into the room it detonated. Another wave of blue blood coated the walls and the two defenders. They ran back outside and saw no Covenant left.
In a hurry they ran back into the main room to check on the other defenders. When the walked through the door they saw about forty grunts and three elites pouring out of the east and south entrances toward them. They ran back into the hexagonal room after dropping six grunts with an assault rifle and pistol barrage. MC grabbed his last frag grenade and threw it in. A couple seconds later he heard the boom and screams, figuring it killed around 10 grunts. "Now," said MC. He and Eric popped out of cover and fired off all their remaining ammo. Over twenty more grunts and one elite dropped dead and it halted the Covenant approach for a while. Two plasma grenades came into the room and landed on Eric. He threw his pistol to the ground and ran into the Covenant throng. Boom. Master Chief grabbed the assault rifle, intending to use it as a beating stick and ran into the room. There were no standing enemies left. Mangled corpses from the explosion littered the room including Eric and the other marines. MC dropped the assault rifle and picked up a Covenant plasma rifle and plasma pistol before walking outside to get picked up.
He saw foehammer's pelican dropship arriving and when it was about ten metres off the ground a bright burst of light appeared and a man wearing green clothing dropped onto the pelican's window. The pilot screamed in fright and knocked the descent button by accident causing the ship to tilt downwards and move forwards quickly. The man in green jumped off at the last moment, landing on his back on the grass. The pilot and the dropship were not so lucky. The collision totaled the ship and crushed the pilot. Right as the man was about to stand up Master-Chief was standing beside him, pistol aimed at his face. "Who the hell are you?" he asked.
