Truth and Reconciliation

(The Marines are in a pelican)

Tears rolled down the cheeks of many marines, the loss of their comrade had taken a heavy toll on their spirits. As they made their way to the covenant ship Truth and Reconciliation, their ideas focused on worries about staying alive.

"Ok Master Chief this isn't what we had planned but we have to get captain Keyes and the others back before the covenant kill them," said Cortana talking only to Master Chief.

"I hope the captain is all right," muttered Cortana. "This mission is vital to our cause."

As the monstrous ship came into view the marines just stared in aw. "How do we get inside the ship if its in the air, the court issued me a rifle and not wings?" (quote)

"Ok people," Cortana buzz on the intercom; "there is a gravity lift that carries troops and supplies from the ship to the ground, that's our ticket in." (quote)

As the marines touched down on the small plateau, Master Chief grabbed a sniper rifle and his assault rifle and was the first off the pelican. Link was right behind him with his plasma sword and a pistol.

"Ok Link you and Kate come with me." Link looked around in confusion, a tall beautiful women whom Link hadn't seen before came up next to him. Link look over her for a brief second.

"Hello Link" said Kate with a smug smile; she picked up her sniper rifle, which was oddly different from the Chiefs. "What's with the different rifle" Link asked.

"It's custom built with faster fire rate, bigger clip, and a very effective silencer."

Chief nudged Link and said, "she the best sniper I've met." The three of them crouched and ran behind a rather large rock, they looked up and the sight was grim. Four covenant elites and four jackals and six well-armed grunts (needlers and plasma pistols), along with two stationary turrets.

Master Chief explained his plan to them, "ok Kate you go across the way and start sniping but be mindful of Link, Link you're going go down there and take out as many as possible, be quick and stealthy we cant afford to be seen. I will sneak across and cut off their escape route in case they try to flee or get reinforcements, once I get over there start the attack." Chief climbed his way to the southern exit and waved to them. Immediately a bullet went straight through an elites skull, Link ran down towards the shadows, he ran carefully and stabbed a grunt in the back then came around the corner were an elite had been resting the shock stopped Link long enough for the elite to inhale to signal intruders, but a 50 caliber bullet silenced him. Link quickly whirled around and jumped into the shadows, waited for his chance to take yet another unsuspecting victim out. Two jackals walked by, Link saw his chance and stabbed one right in the belly and spun around slicing the others head clean off its shoulders. Within minutes of the attack everything in the small canyon was dead.

In The Female Jackals POV

The female jackal had just entered the mess hall when a bigger male jackal shoved her aside. The female jackal look up and hissed, "watch where your going Angus." Angus a large broad shouldered jackal glanced back mutter something and walked off. The female jackal stood up and brushed herself off.

"Rizzel," shouted a familiar voice. After a second she had found the source of the voice.

"Hey Fiffer," she yelled back. Rizzel walked over to her friends and started to chat

"I can't believe Angus did that to you again," Fiffer murmured.

"Just because he was promoted to a golden shield he thinks he can barge in and push people around," said a slender male jackal named Octavious. "I wish the humans would just take him out he snorted."

"Ever since your husband died and he got his job as a lead jackal things have gotten worse for us jackals, why just yesterday Angus thought he could kill a grunt that got in his way."

"All able-bodied soldier, assemble at the loading docks, the humans have found the Truth and Reconciliation and are attacking at the base of the gravity lift," blared the COM unit. Rizzel jumped up along with Fiffer and Octavious. They rushed to the weapons department to pickup their shields and plasma pistols from the charging room. The group of jackals grabbed their gear and sprinted down to the loading docks. The elites were filing everyone into the drop ships one elite, three jackals, and eight grunts, to each ship. Rizzel and her friends were unfortunately separated, as the groups entered the drop ship she glanced around to check out her team. Her team consisted of Vlader (the arbiters real name, if you watch the movie on the first arbiter mission the brute chieftain says it multiple times), Angus and two brother jackals Juk and Kip, but she only recognized two of the eight grunts, which were Yerth and Kari. She sat in a seat and strapped herself in the harness and slouched back and got comfortable.

Master Chief and Link and the rest of the soldiers were taking on two lethal foes

Glowing green blast flew inches from Link's face, "what the hell" he shouted, "they just won't die." As the battle ragged on between the Hunters and the humans it seems hours since the start of the fight. Link fired an assault rifle that he found earlier, at the crazy beast charging toward him, but a horrible sound came to his elfin ears, the familiar clicking sound a gun made when it had no ammo. Link threw down his weapon and ran at the Hunter, just as the hunter raised its shield to deliver a painful blow, Link jumped up and did a mid-air flip landing behind it, as soon as he hit the ground, time seemed to slow down and Links old instincts kicked in, without blinking a plasma blade cut right through the orange midsection of the hunter, killing it instantly. As Link rushed for the second hunter a pistol round past through its stomach and imbedded in the ground about a foot from Link. "What are these things," Link asked as he kicked the lifeless Hunter in the side.

"We don't know at this point all we know about them is that they're called Hunters." As Link made his way behind Master Chief he looked up at the unbelievable size of the ship they were about to enter. As everyone stepped on the platform leading in to "the belly of the beast" a feeling of wonderment swept through him. A yank caught him off guard as he tried to move only to find his feet were not on the ground. After a flash of light Link found himself flat on his back looking up at the interior of the Truth and Reconciliation. He got up only to have the homely feeling leave him, when the sound of metal doors sliding and an elite battle cry Link turn to see a plasma sword floating at them.
