DISCLAIMER: I do not own halo.. sadly :(
"It's names Master Chief" I told George
"Master Chief huh?... thats an interesting name". He rolled his neck in a slow motion back and forth.
"Rogers got angry when I asked about the Cove..." I started to whisper "The Covenant.. he said never to say that word again"
"Bah... that Col. Rogers is always uptight like that. You never know what's going on with him."
"I guess you're right George"
I sat up that entire night and didn't get a wink of sleep. I watched the Earth outside my window revolve slowly around over and over again. I closed my eyes... but was woken up by the piercing sound of the alarm.
"What's going on?" Muttered Francis who was still buried in under his pillows.
"Probly' a drill" said George in a yawning voice
We walked outside our room and saw a multitude of soldiers marching around and shouting out different commands
"Bravo, to Charlie, Bravo to Charlie! Meet up at the exit point near the cafeteria."
The soldiers took off obviously not spotting us in our night outfits.
All three of us hesitated to move, we were scared stiff.
"What now, Whadda' we do" George said under his breath
"Cafe...cafe...teria ri..right?" Francis said shakingly
We all agreed and took off towards the cafeteria, and to no surprise we saw platoons of our marines everywhere. We all were relieved when we saw more of our shipmates talking with the marines. The loud speaker came on... it was Cpt. Keyes
"Marines and Shipmates, as you may know or may not know, Covenant aliens have invaded our ship and killed some of our crew members.. Our marines will do everything in their power to help us out. You can gladly help if chosen to and would be gladly appreciated" the Captain sighed and continued "We will work as one to fend off the Covenants, good luck and stick together."
As the loud speaker went off a Marine called for a line to volunteer for the battle. To my surprise, many people were on that line, Francis being one of them. He gave us a stare and nodded his head. The Covenants killed his father, and he wanted to get revenge. We wished him luck and said goodbye, we didn't wait for him because we were going to be seperated anyway. George and I made our way through the way to the Munitions Cache, and finally to where Master Chief was. We were in a bare white room, with control systems abroad. We looked out the wide glass window to see a tube with a large green figure inside. It was Master Chief.
"Look, It's him!" George was already half way down the steps when he shouted this
I followed him down when we heard a voice coming through the door to our right
"Yea, hes coming out now... boy, I better get paid money for doing this, cause nobody else had the guts to activate this thing." The man was talking to himself, while George and I hid behind a near crate.
He flipped on a switch and a flash of light swirled around the Chief, he came to life and hopped out of the crate.
"Master Chief, we need your help, Covenant are swarming our ship and we need you."
The new born Master Chief nodded and ran away with this man. We followed after them. The man who the Chief was following had died a short while after we started following them both. The Cheif ran through these Covenant like nothing and was amazed at how protective his armor was. He followed another man to the Bride where Captain Keyes gave him a weapon... a pistol of some sort and a purple hologram with its own name even.
Keyes spotted us after the Chief left and told us if we wanted to survive, stay with the Chief.
We gave him a "Yes Sir!" and ran off
Master Chief took down these Covenant scum like nothing. Marines were badly injured and screamed in pain, while the Chief mowed them down.
"OU-RA!" shouted a nearby soldier to the Master Chief who than followed behind. We were stopped again by a nearby injured soldier/
"Room 245?... by any chance" this Marine was talking with his eyes closed.
"Yes Sir" said George
"Francis GreenLeaf... was... shot... he's fatal"
The marine than and there died while George and I stared into cold space... we lost our best friend
Moments later the ship shook and rocks crumbled down over us. We had to find an escape pod. The cries of war led us to a room with many escape pods... all of which were taken but two. We were in one when we heard heavy feet near us. The Chief presumebly. We launched the pod into orbit and we were off. We turned on the pod radio to hear the Captain's voice.
"Fellow men... this is a day of war... the Covenants have corrupted are ship.. and killed many men... good and best. We will take part in this war defending our own territories and taking theirs. There's a planet called Halo... the newborn Master Chief is headed their right now with a platoon of men. We will take action to win THIS WAR AND DEFEA..." Just than we hit land, without even noticing it. I fell over and landed on the floor. All I saw was black.
Please keep reviewing!
