Halo: Lost Marines
Chapter Two: Where the fck are we?
The Grunts and Jackals under Igna 'Drakamee's command fell backwards when the bosarding craft crashed into the human vessel. Igna checked to make sure his plasma assault rifle was100 functional then he slid the doors open. They made their way slowly throught the small tube to the human vessel(I don't know exactly whatthe tube iscalled lol), guns raised. The Grunts were visibly shaking and the Jackals seemed uneasy too.
"Remember, whatever we shall face, it is the will of the prophets that these unpure scum be purged from this universe." Igna said to his terrified squad.
They entered the ship and saw no signs of life, just a couple of Grunts, Jackals bodies and an Elite's body on the ground. But what confused Igna was that their was no human body on the ground. These humans most likely know they will all die, and from what Igna had observed by human behavior, they will fight even harder when they know they would all die.
They made their way down that passageway and were about to turn a corner when Igna felt something.
"Stop," the Elite whispered, "you, pass me your grenade."
A Grunt handed him one of his grenades and Igna pinned it then through it down the hall, then he waited.
"Noooooooo...." he heard a human voice yell.
Then their was a blue explosion and it was silent. They carefully went around the corner and sawthree human bodies scorched with plasma burns, dead.
"Sir, how did you know they were there." a Jackal asked him.
He didn't answer. In truth he didn't really know how he knew they were there. He just would sometimes get these feelings and he would follow them. They made their way down passageways not encountering much resistance. He still had half his Grunts and three Jackals, these humans were fighting like mad beasts.
They were walking down a corridor when five humans burst out of hiding and cut down the remainder of his Jackals and four of his Grunts, also draining his shields. The rest of the Grunts scattered in all directions as Igna dove behind a crate. He picked up another plasma assault rifle and waited for his shields to recharge, when they did he emerged from his crate and opened fire. He stood his ground until all five humans were dead. His shields were drained again and he had a round in his shoulder. He dug out the bullet and cursed in pain inaCovenant tongue. He checked the battery power of his plasma assault rifles and continued through the ship.
Escape Pod Crash Site
Nicholai opened his eyes at sat up holding his head in pain. His head felt like it was about to burst open. He got up and looked at his surroundings. He was in a valley surrounded by trees, it kind of looked like Earth except they werefar away from it and not one bird churped.
The others slowly got up as welland muttered curses. He went into the escape pod since he was thrown out of it from the crash and checked the pilot. For a second he thought she was unconcious but he checked her pulse and she was dead. He sighed and went back outside.
The six marines were standing straight,awaiting orders. He looked them over one by one, drinking in their appearances.
"Ok marines, I am Lieutenant Nicholai Castle, please introduce yourselves to me in turn so I will get to know you." Nicholai said.
"Private Marty Banks sir!" said a Hispanic looking youth, no more then 18.
"I am Corporal David Hansen, reporting for duty, sir!" said a vetran officer, a little older then he was.
"Sir! Lance Corporal Allen Carson, ready to rock and roll." said a young man, who had one green eye and one blue.
"Sergeant Ian Malcolm, sir, I believe we have already met." said a middle-aged sergeant that he had spoken to just before they had left the ship.
"Sergeant Khell Dracan, ready to kick ass, sir!" said another sergeant a little younger then the other one.
"And last but certainly not least or maybe I am...I don't Rob, sir, but you can call me Lunatic!" said the last marine who couldn't be over twenty.
"Well nice to meet you all, and first let's salvage what we can from this wreck, weapons, ammunition, ect." Nicholai ordered, "on the double marines!"
The marines jumped at the last part and started searching for anything of use, hopping to not to displease their new Lieutenant.
UNSC ship, The Apocalypse
The blue armored Elite looked at the pitiful remains of the1000 troops that had come to the ship, a hundred and fifty Grunts and Jackals and thirty Elites stood in front of him waiting for the fury that would undoubtively come from Igna at any moment.
"Look at how many of you there are left," Igna said, "the ship has been cleansed but at the cost of over eight hundred servants of the prophets."
"You must understand, sir," said another blue armored Elite, "the humans fought like mad beasts, they wouldn't surrender, we were almost defeated."
"Yes I know all this, Jugra, but we are supposed to be the superior race!" Igna announced in rage.
He left the "messhall" as the humans called it and travelled to where the Dropships were stationed. He made it there in a couple of minutes, looking at all of his comrades layed out on the human ship's floor.
He got into one of the Dropshipsand told the pilot to bring him back to the flagship, he would have alot of explaining to do in front of the council.
Escape Pod Crash Site
"8 Battle Rifles, 4 SMGs, 1 Rocket Launcher, 3 magnums and 11 grenades, in total, with about a clip to spare for each weapon." David announced to Nicholai.
"Not bad, but if we face alot of Covenant, we will be screwed," Nicholai told his squad, "and we have no food."
They sat there trying to figure out what to do when Khell suddenly jumped up.
"Look to the north! Smoke!" Khell yelled.
There was smoke in the north just over the hill in the distance. They got up and quickly made their way to where the smoke came from. When they were close, Nicholai stopped them and adressed them all.
"Alright the crash could be either Covenant or Human so keep both eyes open and be cautious."
They carefully made their way over the hill and saw that it was a crashed Pelican with half of it gone because of plasma. They saw supplies strewn all over the ground and ran to it.
"Tons of ammo, sir, and lots of food,it must of fell from theship's docking bay during the battle,some luck at last!" Marty exclaimed.
For the first time sincethey had crashed, he smiled. Food, ammo, some shelter from the Pelican, know all he had to do was where the fuck they were and how the fuck to get off of it.
