      The Master Chief signaled Blue team to advance. Two Spartans came out of the nearby shadows and swiftly approached spartan-117. Even with their MJOLNIR armor on, he could tell who each solider was. Kelly was the one in the lead, followed by Sam. Their mission was to capture one of the members in a newly formed rebel force. The perimeter was secured by Fred with his sniper rifle. Fred was a great sniper, but no one compared to Linda, who went missing three weeks ago when she volunteered to keep watch on the rebel HQ.
       "Let's get this party started," said Sam as he applied the charges to the large, metal door. He backed off and nodded at John.
       "How many do you think are in there?" Kelly said as they checked their rifles.
       "Maybe thirty or forty," John replied. He felt himself grin, but realized no one could see him.
      "Should be fun." Sam activated the charges and the door burst open. Shattered bits of metal crunched under the half ton of armor as the Spartans rushed into the large warehouse. Sam opened fire first and caught two rebels in the chest before they had time to react. Three more went down before they got to their weapons. John ran up to a rebel at hit him in the chest with the butt of his MA5B assault rifle. He heard the marine scream has the hit stopped his heart and crushed his ribs. A few of the men ganged up on Kelly, one of them had a bat. Kelly dodged the bat and grabbed it as it rushed past her. She twisted it and broke the man's wrist. Sam jumped in to the fray and killed the last man with a burst from his rifle. John finished off another clip and turned around just in time to see a man wielding a shotgun. The shotgun fired and hit John's armor and took away a large amount of his armor's health. The rebel with the shotgun was different than the other men; he wore the insignia of a UNSC commander. John figured he would be best for interrogation, so he grabbed the gun out of his hand and threw him into the corner. He took a 3-ton slab from the broken door and pushed it in front of the man.
      After the rest of the rebels were finished off, John returned to the corner and pulled away the broken piece of metal to reveal the commander.
       "I got him," said Sam. He easily picked the frightened man off the floor and put him over his shoulder. "Too easy!" He replied in a satisfied tone. They went down to the waiting pelican and threw the prisoner on to the floor. John removed his helmet and stared at Blue Team.
       "Mission complete"

       John was running his morning run when Private Mendoza emerged from the building. Mendoza stared as he watched John run. Rumors had it that they could run over sixty KPH. He shook his head and jogged over to John, or rather, where John was.
       "Hey amigo! The old man says he's got something to show you!" shouted Mendoza. He watched the Spartan turn towards him and then slowed when he was closer. The Spartan slowly walked past him, and the turned to face the private.
       "Where is he?"
       "He's in his office with the rebel."
       "Thank you private," replied John. The Master Cheif made his way up to the captain's office. He entered the room and was greeted with a burst of sunlight. His eyes automatically adjusted to the bright light and he saw two men. Behind the desk was Captain Jacob Keyes, who was standing next to the same man he had captured earlier. The prisoner stared in horror at the Spartan. His eyes had dark sags under them; the eyes of a man who has been interrogated all night.
       "Take a look at this," said Keyes as he lifted up the sleeve of the rebel. The man had a tattoo on his arm. John immediately recognized it; it was the symbol for the ODST. John stared at man and said,"Start talking"

       The Master Chief stepped off the pelican in his MJOLNIR suit and headed towards Major Silva's office. Commander Beads cracked and told about Silva. He and his Helljumpers had joined a rebel group. John planned to do something about it. He walked in to Silva's office and past three guards. Silva was waiting, pistol in hand, aimed at Johns head. Doors slammed behind him and the guards surrounded him.
       " Hey freak, how's it going?" Silva said with a smirk. "You have all the info you need for that Keyes, but, you ain't getting out of here". " Now you have till the count of three to surrender."
       "One."
       "Two."
       "Three." Silva fired.
