Charlie Company By: Natination
A/N: I got the interested in doing this after I reread halo: the fall of reach and noticed how no one has done the lost story of Charlie company on reach. Thus, I shall tell it the way I see it happened.
Lieutenant Johnson walked down the hallway of Reach high COM as alarms sounded and people scrambled to battle stations. Escape shuttles filled with nonmilitary personnel were leaving the system as the covenant appeared out system heading inward. They moved together as one giant long stranded of tentacle like some creature of doom. It was moving slowly as the defenses and Super Mac's warmed up to fire. He turned around to enter the command center which was bustling with generals and admirals giving orders.
"I want the 21st battle group positioned there, here and here."A generalordered.
"Covenant has released boarding craft and drop ships!" Another person called.
"Army tactical rangers are moving into secures this complex." An army general said.
"Sir, Covenant ships are now within range of Super Mac guns!"
"Tell them to open fire, take as many of them out as you can."
"Sir, Charlie Company is reporting for duty." Lieutenant Johnson saluted.
"Head over to the armory with your company commander and get suited up, grab any weapons you want in there. Use the OMEGA armory." An admiral quickly said. "Defend the generators of the MAC guns, or we're all screwed."
"Sir, yes sir!" Lieutenant Johnson yelled as he turned around and dashed to his troops stationed just outside.
"Head to the OMEGA armory now, grab anything you want, we got to go baby-sit the generators." Johnson yelled. "Get back in here 2 minutes; we're taking two scorpion tanks and 10 warthogs with trailers."
"Sergeant Comet, I need your part of the company to get the vehicles ready, we're loading supplies onto 10 warthogs and taking two scorpion tanks with us." Johnson yelled. "Move it!"
Lieutenant Johnson moved into the armory to behold the new rifle, the battle rifle. 36 round clips with a 2x scope mounted. There was enough for only ΒΌ of the company though and Johnson grabbed one and a pistol with a 2x scope also. Grabbing ammo, he noticed a crate that said FUBAR. Well this mission may go FUBAR if the covenant gets on the ground, whatever the hell it was, and he was bringing it. He motioned for two privates to grab the crate and bring it to a trailer as he helped some of his men load rocket launchers into a trailer.
"Sir, engineers are lying anti tank mines and setting up bunkers mounted with chain guns. They should be done by the time we get there; they got half of Charlie Company that was out doing maneuvers in warthogs there already to defend it."
"Good, we're bringing in the warthogs and scorpions over." Lieutenant Johnson said. He looked at what he had at his disposal. "Apparently we have one squadron of aircraft to give us some banshee cover and carpet bombing"
"Let's go!" Lieutenant Johnson yelled in the armory. "Mount up! We got a party to organize and the guests are coming!"
