I don't own Halo (But I wish I did. Think of the money!) or any of the characters within it. MC - You are just a video game character but YOU ROCK!

Man, what a day. All I ever hear is people complaining about how their lives suck. What do they know? My life sucks beyond reasoning and has for as long as I can remember.
Hell, I don't even remember my parents. Childhood? What a joke. My first memory is crawling through brush ... holding a gun. Beside me was a boy, also holding a gun. We were training for a war that might never end.
My name ... no, it's not a name. The higher ups didn't think I needed a name. A number is as close as I got. I'm known as 913 and I'm what is called a Spartan. And the boy I mentioned? He's known as 000. He's a lucky one, and can say that he has a name. Everyone calls him Zero or Z for short.
Our days are full of training with various types of weapons with the odd history lesson thrown in. Our teacher is what's known as an AI and his name is Dante. We learn all about the Greeks, Romans and the history of war.
Why are they doing this to us you ask? The reason is simple. There is a group of alien races, known as the Covenant, who seek the discruction of the human race. We don't really know why that is. And frankly, I'm not sure I care. The Covenant have taken everything away from myself and Z. We didn't have a chance to be normal and very likely we never will.
There is only one thing that Z and I know for sure. Give us the proper weapons and we'll take out as many of those Covenant jerks as humanly possible. Wait, I do know something else too. I know that I want to be one of the ones that ends this war ... once and for all.
