Chapter I : Infiltration

As the 3 UNSC ships got closer to the covenant ship , the crew noticed that only 3 seraphs protected the stranded ship , at sight the seraphs looked severely damaged:

´´Okay let's clear the way´´ , Captain Stukov said , and immediately a fleet of 5 longsword fighters launched from dock..

´´Why don't we just blow those S.o.B,s from space with our cannons ,after all its 3 against 1 and it looks like they are holding their ship with ductape´´ , a crewman said .

´´You know our mission crewman´´ , the captain said , ´´ we must capture their ship to learn from their technology , as well to find their home planet to deliver some Christmas gifts ´´ ( more specific a full scale nuclear attack to the planet).

Meanwhile , the 5 fighters were thrashing the seraphs with no problem, 2 fighters with a few shots of their canons pierced trough the fighter's hull since its shields were down , another seraph counter attacked , but it was flanked by two longswords who fired from beneath it, the third one seeing how they were loosing decided to flee (he would probably be executed for escaping from battle by its superiors),

´´You're not getting of the hook so easy hore.´´ the pilot of the fighter said , and fired a Havoc mk 5 missile to the seraph , the seraph tried to avoid it , but its propulsion system was damaged and the missile's seeker function got the job done. ´´Path cleared captain ,the only thing I regret its that I cant hear them scream when I blow them up ´´ the pilot said by the comm.

´´Alright then, time to send some guest to the ship to say hello´´

The Equinox carried around 300 units on the ship: aprox. 230 military units comprised of infantry , pilots , and spec ops , 45 engineers and scientists and the rest was maintenance personnel . They could easily take control of the ship with these and the other units from the other 2 ships , but the Equinox carried a special team to take on the assignment.

´´Master chief is your team ready for departure ´´ the comm system said

´´ Ready ´´ ,the chief said after deciding what combat knife would he bring with him: the one that he used to surgically operate an elite, or the one that a hunter put his eye on.

The team of 8 was comprised by 7 new recruited Spartan soldiers , former ODST's that were enhanced on earth, with a more advanced technology that gave them equal strength and agility of an original Spartan without being trained since they were born. They were named by their no.

120 , 143 , 125 , 159 (male) , 133 , 147 , 160 (female).

The 8 including master chief boarded the pelican eco 513 and flied to the covenant ship entering trough a doc bay that was out of artificial gravity , the longswords maintain patrol in case the covenant look at them in a mean way.

´´It appears there's no shield protecting this docking bay chief as well as no gravity and life support´´

´´ It doesn't matter Cortana , all we need to do is reach that door over there , probably inside there's gravity support ´´

And so the Spartans holding onto the walls reach the door and once inside Cortana interface with the ships database .

´´It appears there are only a significant amount of active troops on the ship , a large part of the crew has been sent to aid the injured on some decks and another part is trying to repair the ship to reach light speed once again ´´.

´´Alright , 133 run a bypass to open that door´´.

´´Don't need to chief, it looks like the security system is currently down as well´´ .

So everyone got trough and when they entered gravity was restored. 125 and 147 took point followed by the master chief and the others , the corridors had plasma burns and some consoles were open for maintenance .

´´I'm detecting life forms on the next corner ´´ Cortana said by the comm and 125 and 147 engaged the enemy , two blue elites protecting a passage. The elites quickly took cover and counter attacked , firing and dodging the Spartans fire , as the Spartans gave cover , 120 threw a frag that forced the elites out of their hole and decreased their shields , then the four including the chief open fire upon them, making a mess on the walls .

´´Additional contacts through that door the elites guarded , I'm reading a total of 11 units´´ Cortana replied .

´´Prepare to engage ´´ the chief said and they positioned 2 in front crouching with grenades ready to throw them in , 2 more in each side to enter after the explosion and 2 behind the grenadiers giving cover , as they open the door they released the grenades and took cover while the 2 Spartans behind them open fire to clear any hostile on site , as the smoke cleared they entered walking over some grunts and jackals they blow up and took cover on some pilled crates .

Enemy fire was coming in front of them and on the corner behind a wraith , 160 took a peek and saw the enemy :

´´ 2 elites and a hunter at twelve o' clock with deployed shields 3 grunts and an elite at 2 o' clock taking cover over that wraith´´.

´´ Piece of cake ´´ the chief said , ´´Alright then :133, 120 , and 125 go and take out those behind the tank so we can corner the enemy, 143, 160 open fire on those elites to give them cover and the rest use your rifle scope to fire on the hunter's head ´´

And so 133 threw an frag to distract the enemy and as the grunts run cowardly the Spartans took them easily , only one managed to escape hiding behind a crate , the elite let out a roar and engaged a Spartan with his plasma rifle decreasing the Spartans shield and sending him against the wall , the other 2 Spartans came to his aid repelling the elite, meanwhile the master chief and 147 where firing on the hunter that tried to cover with his harm shield , trying not to let him use his fuel rod ,while the rest cornered the elites taking them out with a few well placed grenades , then the 8 surrounded the hunter who was already disoriented by the headshots received and began to throw himself to the Spartans trying to hit them , but they easily evaded his attacks and when it got distracted the master chief pulled his combat knife and put it on the hunters back for ´´safekeeping´´.

´´Room secured , except for 1 hostile behind a crate in the corner in front of us´´ Cortana said , 143 and 125 went to see and saw a yellow armor grunt covering his head in fear and after seeing the Spartans he threw his plasma pistol and started yelling:

´´ I surrender , don't kill, please ´´

As the Spartan was going to pull the trigger he was stopped by the chief,- ´´Hold it 143 , we may use him to reach the control room´´

´´Hey , I'm still here you know´´ Cortana replied ,´´ we don't need him , I can find the location faster than him ´´.

´´No you can t , the consoles are all burned and the database is probably a mess right now , we better use this grunt to find our way faster ´´

´´What if it doesn't want to help us ´´ 147 replied .

´´Then will have to persuade him´´ the chief said by pulling his knife out of the hunter and putting it near the grunts neck. ´´you will tell us right ´´

´´all right , all right , just put that thing away of me ´´ the grunt said trembling.

The Spartans followed the grunt for like what it seems hours due to the grunt s slow rate of walking.

´´ hurry up you little piece of ...´´ 159 said ,

´´ hey don't push, it's long way to were the others are , and my name is yapsak ´´ ,the grunt replied.

´´Okay then crapsack then hurry up or ill make you another butt hole´´ 159 said.

After a while they came to another shuttle bay that was being used to aid the wounded , there were a lot of grunts running everywhere bringing what it look like bandages and other weird things, a lot of elites and jackals wounded with some bullet holes , a few elites even missing an arm or a leg and a pile of dead grunts

on a corner .

When they saw the Spartans the grunts tried to run , but a few shots fired to the air stopped them .

´´Cortana to captain Stukov ´´

´´Stukov here what's the situation ´´

´´We found the rest of the covenant in doc bay 4 , they are injured and it seems they can't fight anymore , what are your orders regarding them ´´,Cortana waited

´´From now on they are our prisoners , disarm them and continue with the operation´´ .

´´Did I hear right ´´ 125 replied, ´´ we should kill these bastards for all the humans they killed on earth ´´

´´You heard the captain , they are injured and it wouldn't be right to kill them this way ,we would sink to their level ,besides ill just wait until they get better so I can kill them´´. The chief replied

The Spartans obey the order ,but they weren't pleased by it , they checked if the injured were armed with conceal weapons , some elites roar in anger but they had no choice. A jackal had some plasma grenades beneath his seat and some elites had plasma swords concealed in their armor .

The chief ordered 120 and 133 to stay behind and guarded the prisoners ,while the rest went up ahead to the control room , the grunts were trembling in fear thinking they were going to die .

´´ are you going to kill ´´ yapsak said ,

´´Only if you keep talking´´ 133 answered.

From far away the covenant and the 2 Spartans could hear the blasts from the battle that had place in the control room , and after a while the 2 Spartans got a message from Cortana: ´´ship secured , the captain has ordered you two to remain in doc bay 4 until reinforcements arrive ,and try not to kill anyone there´´

´´We'll try Cortana´´ ,120 replied -´´But I'm not making any promise´´.

And a few minutes later 4 dropships boarded to secure the rest of the ship.
