Halo: Spartan Li
Chapter 1:
The Beginning
SPARTAN-008, Li was designated Blue-Three on this mission. The mission was to repair their main drive conduit that was supposedly sabbotaged. Since Reach was under attack, everything else was just a blur. He remebered their jump from the pelican when they had entered Reach's atmosphere and the mission to extract Admiral Whitcomb from the hot zone on Reach. After that everything happened so fast.
The Covenant started to glass Reach so him, the other two Spatans on his team for the mission: Anton and Grace and also Admiral Whitcomb found a cave and waited for any help, none came. After some days, the Master Chief came and saved them from Reach.
In the pelican he looked around at his team; Grace, Anton, Fred, Will and of course, John all sat down and wait for the covenant dropship they were in to drop them off near the conduit they were supposed to repair so they could get out of there.
"Alright, Blue Team, local conditions are as calm as they are going to get. Exiting in three, two....one."Lieutenant Polaski said. The spartans moved off the ship and onto the hull. Li helped maneuver the hull plates and set them at designated places.
"Alright, Fred and Grace, your the welders, we'll cover you." Master Chief said over the COM. Their acknowledgements light winked on and Li heard John tell him to take three o'clock.
Li scanned the area but saw nothing that could have sabotaged the ship and neither did his radar but he kept alert. His master on Chiron, Sunayi, always said that nothing was ever how it seemed. He kept his assault rifle's safety off and waited for something to happen. He was also afraid because it was a shooting gallery up here, so he hoped Grace and Fred welded fast, he didn't want to die not fighting.
He heard something and he pointed his assault rifle towards the direction of the sound. He did't hear it again but he knew something was coming. He saw a plasma projectile come too close to the hull for comfort and saw his shields drain a quarter. He heard the sound again so his finger went to the trigger but he didn't fire, not yet.
Li saw six camouflaged Elites appear as a plasma projectile grazed the Ascendent Justice, he saw John, Master Chief duck behind some crates and everyone took cover behind some sort of cover. He saw a third enemy plasma projectile emerge from Slipspace and headed straight for them. He knew they were screwed so Li stood his ground and fired at the Elites while everyone ducked. If I'm going down then these Coveneant bastards are coming with me! he thought. He cried one last battle cry and charged the Elites. The plasma projectile hit the ship and Li was thrown into empty space, he saw the pelican that had dropped them on to the hull melt and disappear, and then he blacked out.
