Halo: Two Spartans
They had been hitting Covenant ships for over 6 months now, popping in and out of slipspace to fire MAC cannon rounds or drop a shiva nuke. The journy had been long as they zipped long the plotted solar systems, looking for prey. Captain Thanas knew supplies were running low, they were almost out of MAC rounds and Archer missiles. They had two Shive nuclear warheads in their holds now too.
Captain Thanas prepared for a battle as he called for battle station as the slipspace dissappeared for normal space. He found himself facing a planet... a planet with UNSC ships guarding it. A cruiser and a frigate patrolled the space surronding the planet turning around to face the new ship.
"UNSC ships, this is the Prometheus.. i repeat this is the Prometheus." Captain Thanas said.
"How did you find our base, its top secret, no one else knows." A voice of the intercom said.
"We found it by accident, we been hitting Covenant ships all along these surronding solar systems, looking for any habitable planet with people on it." Capt Thanas said. "We're almost out of everything. including food."
"Any cilivans aboard?" Captain Thanas looked around... he was tired, and he couldn't think staight. "I dont think so unless they got aboard after the colony Ship Deliver got totalled. Admiral Garret dead, along with his ships, Tigerclaw, Freedom, independence and his cruiser, Arch Angel.
"Admiral Garret is dead? he was head of this project." The voice said.
"Uhhh... what project might that be?" Captain Thanas said. "We're not going anywhere fast."
The Voice seemed to hold off for a second or two before it answered. "Spartan III's."
The Bridge crew looked at each other as they head the two words. Hope.
"What happened to Elias?" The Voice asked.
Captain Thanas replied ."We had to nuke it. 6 nukes tired together to blow the planet, there wasn't any cilivans on planet i think, but 30,000 covenant were.including an carrier, destoryer and an cruiser. Our Spartan did it."
"Spartans???" The voice said. "They all died on Reach."
The Clunking of metal knew that the Spartans were coming, they had overheard "They had all died on Reach." from over 120 feet away in the Mess hall.
"What happened to our group?" Nate said.
"We think most of them died while protecting the ground generators for the Super MACs. There might have been still some alive but, the Covenant has glassed it." The voice said.
"losses?" Captain Thanas asked.
"Total Annihilation... they launched over 500 ships against us including a juggernaught ship." The voice said. "We were there and barely escaped with our lives. I think the Master Chief got on the Piller of... whatever that ship is called commanded by Captain Keyes. You guys can come closer now, we're dock with you and transfer some supplies."
"Thank you." Captain Thanas said. "Helmsmen, prepare to dock with the uh...."
"What is ur ship called?" Captain Thanas said.
"Rainbow" The voice said.
The intercom went quiet as they watched the Cruiser dock with his ship. Hopfully they had repair stations on the planet surface below, they weren't going anywhere fast.They had around 40 percent reactor power.
