Revenge of the Elite

Chapter 1: The first assault.

Sanik 'Jiramacree was a newbie elite how had just graduated from training. His skills as a tactician had already spread to some of the prophets. He had graduated with honors giving him a special promotion and an upgrade to red armor. Most of the other elites that were in his class had now been put under his command. He was stationed on the sacred ring world of Halo. Sanik was called upon when 'Mortumee was killed during an attack on the human convoy. Sanik reported to the Field Master Noga 'Potumee.

'Potumee stood off to the left of the majority of his forces. He stood tall and presented himself with the utmost authority. His military record far surpassed that of many well respected elites. Sanik was wise with his cautious approach.

"It is an honor to meet you Field Master" Sanik said as he bowed

"Sanik 'Jiramacree, so you're the master tactician I've been hearing about."

Sanik rose slowly. He was astounded that his name had reached some one so well known and regarded.

"You will be given two platoons of Grunts, a set of Jackals, and a pair of Hunters to help you on your first assignment. We need you to try and break a line through the Human defenses so our stealth team to enter into their strong hold and plant a plasma bomb. It should have the capacity to completely wipe out the entire base and the sounding 3miles."

"Thank you excellently. I will not let you down!"

Sanik was dismissed and left to asses his new troops. The Grunts didn't seem to have any special qualities and the Jackals held their basic armament; however, the Hunters were massive. They carried their huge shield and the enormous fuel rod cannon. Impressed by the Hunters stature, 'Jiramcree ordered the troops over to the far side of a near hill. While he was assessing the regiment 'Jiramcree had picked out several grunts, Jackals, and Elites to be his officers. He had been given a highly detailed map of the surrounding area.

His officers were given their orders and began placing their units. According to the data the main force would attack from the left side of the hill were as 'Jiramcree would assault from the right. His troops were to force their way past the defenses which would be weakened from the main attack. It seemed to be a basic bait and switch maneuver, but nothing goes as planned in war.
