Chapter one: Rude Awakening
"Chief? Chief are u awake?" asked Cortana. "Yes Cortana I'm here." John Master Chief said annoyed. John rolled over to look at his clock. 6:00 am. "Why do you always wake me up this early?" John asked. "Because it's time for you to train like the stations commander said to." Replied Cortana. "Don't forget you said you wanted to go look for any Spartans that might be left on the half of Reach that wasn't glassed destroyed." Cortana said in her joyful happy voice. Her lights were changing from green to blue every few seconds.
"Yes well why this early?" He asked rolling back over to go to sleep. "Because where're leaving today at 7:00 tomorrow." Cortana said. But she was replied by a snoring John. "WAKE UP!" Cortana yelled at him with her red lights going haywire. "I'M UP, I'M UP." John replied angrily. He managed to mutter jesus under his breath. "I heard that." She said slyly as she dimmed to check the stations operation.
John got up put on his MJOLNIR Mark VI armor on and started his walk to the stations training area. Two ODST's helljumpers saw him heading there and decided to join him. "Master Chief, hey wait up!" The two yelled simutanisouly. John turned around noticing they called him by rank. "Lieutenant Hanks, Lieutenant Kicker." He said nodding his head with his hands folded behind his back. He continued walking on and then asked "Will you two be joining me on my mission today at Reach?" The two marines looked puzzled. "What mission at Reach? We weren't informed we were going to Reach." The two marines were at the battle of Reach and were on the Pillar of Autumn during the event of Halo.
"You weren't?" the chief said thinking as he stopped walking. "I was informed that all helljumper units were to be coming with me to look for Spartans." He said. He waited as he saw the two searching for the reason why in their heads. Then Hanks said "Oh yea, we just returned from our mission at Corandir II." "Yes well, you two will be joining me." John replied starting to walk again remembering he had to go to the training area. The two marines ran to their quarters in the barracks.
