Chapter 2
1700 Hours, HALO, Feb.13, 2552
We ran towards where we heard fighting going on and we saw Billions of Covenant fighting Marines! I ordered everyone to man you stations and fire on my mark. 3…2…1…, "NOW!" I shouted through the COM system. We all fired at will throwing grenades at the Covenant and Will got shot in the chest by a sniper. He fell down and grasped where his heart is. "I'm not going to make it am I? Master Chief?" he asked. "Like my motto says, Only the Strongest Will Survive, so if you want to survive you've gotta still fight!" I said to him. I helped him up which was rather weird because usually I never have someone to help up because they die right in my hands before I have the chance to. I told him to take cover and he did but, he wasn't hidden well enough because that same sniper got him in the left shoulder. "Crap," I said. Will came up to me and just fell down hunched on my shoulders. I felt his heart, just like with Nick, nothing. "We lost another recruit!" I shouted to Andy and Jeremy. We had no time to bury Will because the Covenant was heading our way! The head Elite's name was the Arbiter. He asked, "What do you want from us?" and Master Chief said, "oh nothing really except you on the floor and all of you little minions!"
We got into a BIG fight and Jeremy and Andy just killed the Grunts watching me and the Arbiter fight our way to victory, which only one of us can win it…
