Prologue
The Covenant. A union of alien species set on achieving one thing: making the human race extinct. The Grunts. A small pig-like species known for their cowardice in battle. The Jackals. A bird-like species, they carry a plasma shield and are known for holding their enemies off with their shields as the other members of the Covenant attack. The Elites. Tall human shaped aliens with a mouth formed similarly to a crab's. Each is equipped with an energy shield surrounding their bodies at all times. They are known for their efficiency in taking down their opponents with much ferocity. The Hunters. Large cat-like creatures, they have impenetrate blue armor. Six large spikes jut out of their backs. This species is known for killing anything and everything that gets in their way, though under the armor their bodies are very fragile. The Brutes. A gorilla-like alien, it carries a grenade launcher and is stronger than even a hunter. Many humans consider this species a myth.
The Vendetta IV has landed on a Covenant controlled planet. Marines have begun a full-fledged invasion of the planet. One Spartan has been defrosted from cryo-sleep and has joined the marines in their fight. The Spartans were a super soldier trained to master every weapon and vehicle, human and Covenant alike. Most marines died in training of trying to become a Spartan. Then all that made it were cryogenically frozen until they were needed. The Covenant however killed almost all of these super soldiers by taking over human ships and killing them in their sleep.
The Master Chief, another Spartan who has made a name for himself by destroying a Forerunner built installation called Halo. It is a ring world meant to wipe galaxies clean of sentient life. There is more than one of these Halos however. The humans are set on destroying the Halos before the Covenant use it against the them.
The Spartan has touched down near a Covenant structure with a few marines. The resistance outside is heavy and the Spartan looses all of his comrades. He proceeds on his own into the Covenant facility.
