Area 51: Part One: Entry

Onboard a covenant dropship over Nevada

"Alright warriors, you all know your jobs," barked the SpecOps commander, 'Izla Quaziee.
" Yes, sir!" responded the team of twenty-five SpecOps elites.

Remote government testing facility known as "Area 51"

"We have a perimeter breach in sector two!" yelled a security officer.
"Sector two?, that's he..." was all the other officer had time to say before the security tower was engulfed in plasma, and evaporated
"Sir, the security is disabled, and the guards are all dead in sector two." yelled Pvt. Michael to his commander.
"Alert the entire station, and send a fire team to sector two."
"Yes, sir." responded the marine.

Hallway to main security station of "Area 51"

"Ar zose loks dizabled yet," barked 'Kaja
"Almost, but it would be faster if 'Zura and 'Usha hadn't been killed by those humans." retorted 'Xona . " We're in."

The eight elites left of the squad engaged their camo and crept in. Once the doors sealed, the elites set to work killing the few humans in the room. One marine had time to fire a burst from his battle rifle, which hit and elite in the arm, dropping the active camo. By then, someone had heard the fighting and sent in a squad of ten marines. They burst in just in time to see the last marine die, and the elites recloak. The elites and marines open fired at the same time.

The fight started out well for the elites, and it soon became clear who would win. The first two marines were killed by a plasma grenade, then three were killed by elites with swords. The remaining five fired, killing two elites, and blowing one elites arm of with a shotgun.

'Rena howled with rage as her arm was blown off by a shotgun. Using his other arm, he threw a plasma grenade onto a marine's face. The unfortunate marine ran forward, killing Renna, himself, and the marine with the shotgun.
The fight only lasted a few more minuutes, in which all the marines, and another elite died.

"Five, Sanghelli's left in squad one," said 'Qaze. "But they finished their task."
"What about squad two?" queried Commander 'Noja Sarlamee
"Still no response," responded the junior elite. "I'll check, Squad two, come in, repeat, squad two, come in."

"Busy, can't talk now" that was the last words that the commander of squad two had to say. His squad was pinnde down by turret fire, and he, forgetting this, stepped out and had his head blown up. Thar meant only four elites were left in squad two
" Turrets neutralized!" yelled one elite. "All hostile contacts neutralized."
"Alright, move in, kill the guards." The elites cloaked and then ran into the room. These marines didn't stand a chance, and within twenty seconds, all thirteen men in the room were dead.

"Send word to Commander 'Noja. We've located the hangar and testing center. Send them the locations and a status report of our squad." barked 'Gona
"Yes, sir." responed an elite.

"Sir, we've got a report from squad two. They sent the coordinates. uploading to your NAV now." said 'Qaze.
"Tell both squads to meet us in the hangar. The humans technology will be ours."

In "Area 51" hangar bay C7-129

"Is that it?" asked the commander as he stared at the small one man ship, resembling a longsword. "Is that what we came for?"
"Scanning... Yes, sir scans detect a slipspace generator, anti gravity generators, and advanced energy weapons way beyond ours."
"Alright, call in a retrieval squad."
"Yes sir."
"Then send our troops to the testing center."
"Sir, our radio is down. I'll try and repair it."

"Area 51" testing center

" So, this is all the info on the Mark VII armor and the Spartan three project?"
"Yes, sir. And Kaja, Xona, and Baca are rounding up the weapons and data."
"Alright. is that radio up yet? let's get out of here as soon as we can. They probably know we're here."

At the exact moment he said this a squad of ODSTs burst in and open fired. Two elites died in the initial burst, and before the others had time to react, three more elites died. The remaining elites open fired and wiped out half the squad. The other half tried to fire, but were cut down by the elites swords.

The elites got the com working and called for help, but the transport couldn't come. Instead the Prophet of Life was sending four phantoms full of troops. They knew when they arrived, the Covenant's victory would be complete. Wrong, there was one person who could stop them. Spartan-200, the secret spartan. The first part of the Spartan three project.

-Authors Note PLEASE READ Hi, anyone, since I am under 13 (11 to be exact.) could you post who I send the "parent signature" thing to because I really want to respond in comments (email address will suffice.)

Area 51: Part Two: Revelation

Onboard Human Defense Platform "Freedom"

"WHAT!" yelled Spartan-200 "Why Didn't you tell me before!"Spartan-200 was shocked, but so would you if you heard a superior say what Admiral Vincent Martolli had said. This is what Spartan-200 had heard.
"Chief, we have recieved word that the Covenant have infiltrated Area 51, and we need you to get them out.
"What? Area 51, isn't that just a hangar?" the Spartan had responded.
"Well, actually, Area 51 is a government project to defeat the Covenant. In fear that Earth would be destroyed he evacuated most people on the planet, and a few other Inner Colonies to a large planet called "Planet X," by the government. Area 51 has the coordinates to "Planet X" and all the tech we plan to use to win this war. If those Covenant escape, humanity is doomed for sure."

The Spartan was amazed, he couldn't believe it, there was another human planet with almost all of Earth on it. It just seemed to incredible to believe. In fact, if he didn't know Admiral Martolli as well as he did, he wouldn't believe it.He had no choice but to accept. Still, it felt better to know he was going in with four full squads of ODSTs.

Onboard ODST drop pod.

"The Covenant have spotted us." yelled an ODST over the radio. Spartan-200 could hear music over the com, but when it died away Sgt. Peters died with it.
By the time they got to the ground, seven more of the pods had been incinirated by Covenant turret fire.

Spartan-200 kicked the door of his pod open. Immediatly he scanned the area, and finding it clear, he did a routine status check. "Good" he said to himself." sixty-seven of the eighty pods that launched have called back in."
Then over the com, he gave the orders. Everyone in the first squad of ODSTs was to neutralize the guards. Squads two and three were to sneak in the back, locate and capture the command center, and squad four, with
Spartan-200 would go in front, guns blazing, to distract the Covenant from the others.

Everything was going fine, until squads two and three hit a snag. The command center was locked down and guarded by a pair of Hunters at each door. Normally, the ODSTs would simply kill them, except these Hunters were much larger than others. Plus they had no weak spot, it too was covered by armor. That could be a problem.

Fortunately for them, they were well equipped. After all what better to take out a couple of walking tanks with than Lotus Anti-Tank mines. That is just what the did.
"Get clear, yelled an ODST as the first mine latched onto a very surprised Hunter's head. The other mine latched onto the other Hunter's chest. Both mines went off with a loud bang as the ODSTs were splattered with bits of hunter. The mines had done the trick. That and blew a ten foot hole in the wall.

The ODSTs poured in just in time to see the last tech engineers run out the back door, and the four hunters and squad of Elite Zealots attack. Two ODSTs were engulfed in a fuel rod shot. Another one got a plasma grenade on his face, and ran forward screaming, and taking out two Elites with him. The others return fired. One elite took two shotgun shells to the face, and fell over without a head. Two more were killed by a frag grenade.

A pair of Hunters were killed as three ODSTs fired their rockets, also killing the Elite Commander. Now only two Hunters and four Elites were left to face fourteen ODSTs. The Elites charged forward with their swords. Two connected and killed two ODSTs, one was killed by a shotgun, and an ODST sidestepped the last one, spun, and blew a hole in it's chest with a shotgun. The remaining Hunters never stood a chance. The ODSTs open fired and killed them.

Meanwhile squad one killed the guards, and only lost three units. Squad four was not so lucky. seven ODSTs were killed, and nine were wounded. Only Spartan-200 had escaped unharmed.

The squads met in the hangar just in time to see the last Phantom take off, with it went most of humanity's hope.

Area 51: Part Three: Elimination

Onboard Covenant Phantom en route to "Planet X"

Time until extinction 3 hr 27 min 19 sec.

"Holy one, we have retrieved the information you requested and are returning to your ship." Said Special Operations Commander Azja 'Kallalee, coming as close to a grin as a Sanghelli could. He was happy for several reasons; first, he had just been promoted to the rank of SpecOps Commander after the previous commander had died. Second he had in his hands the key to victory against the humans.

Outside "Area 51"

Time until extinction 2 hr 46 min 34 sec.

Spartan-200 waited outside of "Area 51" his eyes scanning the skies for his transport. Soon he heard the rumbling of the Pelican in the distance. As he got on he looked back on his mission. What had gone wrong? He had asked himself so many times. They had made it in, everyone had done their jobs, they had made it out. His remaining twenty-seven ODST's had been no match for the Phantom that had stayed behind to kill them. Spartan-200 had been forced to play dead among the bodies of his allies. For this he swore to take revenge on those Covenant responsible, mainly being all of them.

Onboard Covenant Super-Carrier Purifying Waters

Time until extinction 1 hr 48 min 05 sec.

"Excellency, we will reach the human planet in a three units. Our victory against the heretics will be complete." Said Supreme-Commander Xaza 'Requiee, very much believing these words as he said them to The Prophet of Truth. Truth had come to oversee the annihilation of the humans. The Great Journey was close.

Xaza gestured to the hundreds of thousands of elites under his command. He signaled the first squads of rangers, the "Purification Squad" to gear up and begin the assault. The rest of the army began to gear up too. The end was coming for Humanity.

Onboard "Planet X" orbital defense station "Defender"

Time until extinction 1 hr 3 min 45 sec

Spartan-200 had just been informed of the arrival of the Covenant. What confused him was that the Covenant had only sent one ship. Then he realized the ship was the size as the recently destroyed Earth's moon. He was ordered to the surface to meet Master-Chief on the surface to fight. His Pelican departed six minutes after the Covenant were spotted.

Onboard Covenant Drop ship docking on "Defender"

Time until extinction 57 min 37 sec.

This mission had been assigned to elite teams of Berserker Elites. Their only mission was to go in and cause as much destruction as possible. They were armed with swords and explosives. Lots of explosives. The second they stepped off the drop ships the carnage began. The first elite off the drop ship gave a roar, and as it detonated his explosives, thought, Death to the Heretics. As the explosives went off, everyone in the hangar was killed. The remaining elites left the room, and then remote detonated the drop ship. The explosion blew a hole in the ships side, causing the squad of engineers entering the room to investigate the explosion. The Elites made it to the ammo storage, and detonated their armor. As they did they all gave cries of victory for their race. The "Defender", as well as the other nine stations blew up. That gave the Covenant a clear shot at "Planet X."

On "Planet X" human Shelter

Time until extinction 43 min 0 sec.

Start playing emotional music now

Spartan 200, aka The "Lonely Hunter" was fighting for his life. Here he was, on the surface of the planet, fighting for humanity, as hard as he could. Yet he felt so helpless.
He heard the screams of men, women, and children, crying out for help, or mercy.
Help he knew he could not give, and mercy he knew they would not receive. That day, even the Grunts had been fighting hard. They knew victory was at hand, and that they could go around killing at will.

Master Chief was dead; Earth, the fleets, and all hope were gone. He was still fighting, when the last of his marines died, and the Covenant was attacking again in full force.
Somewhere, he heard a group of children, screaming for help. He knew he had to save them, but as he rounded the corner, he saw the last two get gunned down by a pair of elites. He pulled out his shotgun, aimed, and fired. As he was knocked down, he realized he was out of ammo. He tried to get up, but found he couldn't. So he looked down, and saw a pool of blood forming around his stomach. As he lay dieing, he heard he screams of hundreds more innocents, being ruthlessly killed by the Covenant. Thee minutes later, the last Spartan, Spartan 200, drew his last breath, and died.

On the surface of "Planet X"

Time until extinction 27 min. 13 sec.

Xaza heard the Prophet of Truth ordering them to pull out. Before he and the last of his brothers left, he went over to Spartan 200, picked up it's corpse and went back to his phantom.

Time until extinction 34 sec.

Truth, Xaza, and the rest of the Covenant onboard the Carrier watched as the ship charged its weapons. The time had come, and Xaza gave the order to fire, and watched with satisfaction as "Planet X" was incinerated in a ball of plasma. After the smoke cleared, "Planet X" and the last of humanity were gone.

The Covenant onboard gave a huge cheer as they saw this, and at this moment, Truth died of a massive heart failure. The Covenant's victory was complete, but their leader was dead. This meant that the Elites would take charge, and rule the Universe with an iron fist.

I hope you all enjoyed my story, any criticism would be nice, and don't miss my next story. Thank you for your time
