"Lenz! Lenz wake up!"

Lenz's eyes opened wide and he squinted in the daylight. the visor on his MJOLNIR Armor had been cracked. Evey muscle ached. But Lenz thrust himself up off of the cool damp mud and stading upright, wobbled, and then was caught from falling by Spartan 125, Storm.

"Storm what's going on?" Asked Lenz.
Storm ddn't answer for a minute, he looked up toward the snowy mountain in the north. Although Lenz counldn't see for sure, he was positive Storm was thinking.

"Nothing good" said Storm. "Not at all good, Not since you were knocked out. We all scattered when the Cheiftin got to you.".

Lenz reached up into the hole in hisfaceplate. He touched his nose and his finger came back colored in crimson blood.
Lenz heard a light humming sound, like "vvvvvvvvv". Not a pelican. Lenz turned his weary head around and he woke right up! a covenant Phantom headed towards their position.

"Down!" Yelled Lenz. Storm dove behind a large tree, it was thick, and had a very nice beauty to it. Lenz rolled over to a small trench in the ground, got in, and tucked away into the corner.

"Hey Hey hay! watch it with those methane canisters!" Came a high pitched crackling voice from outside.
"Grunts..." whispered Lenz.

"Sorry Glubdub." Came another voice.
"That's Unggoy Major Glubdub to you soldier!" came the first voice.
Lenz took out his Magnum, aimed it for the seconed Grunt, and firing and killing the grunt with a headshot.
"Yaaaaaaa!" Yelled Glubdub as he bursted past the trees and into the swampy forest.
Storm leaped out with hs assault rifle and shot a line through the other 3 grunts. The 2 Spartans approached carefully until met with a thud from the clangy boots of a Hunter, two of them.

"Get them!" Said the first hunter, but to Lenz it sounded like "Shesh shem!"

Lenz rolled and shot the hunter in the stomach. it fell over, screamed, and got up again.
Storm Jabbed the other hunter in the face until it had fallen to the ground and oozed orange blood. Lenz took out his knife and did the same.
The phantom was still. then the ship rose away all at once. Lenz knew what they were doing, they were getting help.
"We have to move, now!" Yelled Lenz.

Storms radio flicked to life.
"This is spartan 153 to Spartan 125, do you have Spartan 116 yet?"

" Ya Arnold I have Lenz and we are moving towards the pelican, but those Phantoms are coming back with buddies and their gonna rip s to shreds so can we have some assistance?"

"Copy that, Charles-215 and I are on the way."
Said Arnold.

"Good" Said Storm. he turned a corner and jumped over a log. Lenz was right behind him in his ripped blood splattered armor. Lenz ducked under a branch slid down the hill, and came to a stop to look at the vally they had just come from, they were now in the forest of Hazmeo. Lenz turned and kept running.

GlubDub hid under a bush as the Spartans went past. Glubdub ran up over a small hill and towards were spartans were. they were fast. Glubdub ran and followed the Spartans keeping his distance. He Saw The Spartans get into the pelican and fly off. Glubdub called up the Phantom.

"What is it?" asked the pilot.

"We need something that needs to be taken care of" said Glubdub.

"What?" Asked the pilot.

"A Pelican." Said Glubdub.

"Who are you, are you a grunt?" asked the pilot

"Yes," Said Glubdub,"I am Glubdub.".

"A pelican? Were?" Asked the Pilot

"I will send you the Location" Said Glubdub.

He hoped that those spartans would be destoyed.

"Hoora!" Yelled Charles.
The pelican moved over grassy feilds and over forests and cities. It rose up out of the atmosphere of the planet. the clouds, the trees, the beaches, and the ocean was left behind, and Lenz truly saw beauty in it. He hoped the war would end, and things could go back to normal. but the beauty of Hazmeo was left for the last time. The beauty would soon be gone, consumed by the thick clouds of of war, leaving Hazmeo a wast land. The war with the Covenant would go on, world after world would be smothered, but Lenz was a Spartan. In the future Lenz and the others will return to fight the war on Hazmeo, but Lenz will never forget the beauty it once held.



Hazmeo Part 1
Date: 18 September 2010, 1:54 am

Hazmeo had been under attack in the outer colonies for almost 3 weeks now, and the covenant had started digging. Derrick-163 knew that was a bad thing. When the Covenant wanted something, they either got and glassed the planet, or didn't find it, go mad and glassed the planet. Echo team was a team of spartan 2's which consisted of Nick-145, Rose-193, Alex-18, and Derrick-163. They waited approximately 500 thousand feet in the air, in orbit around Hazmeo aboard the Winged Fire. Hazmeo was a beautiful green forest planet, light blue skies, small suburban cities, crystal clear lakes, and large green fields. But now that all seemed like that had been ripped away from Hazmeo. Now the planet a military zone almost all over the planet.
Rose looked up from her seat in their cabin to see Nick come in. They weren't in uniform at the moment but would jump down to the armory with a snap of a finger.
"What do the Covenant see in this place?" asked Nick, as he sat down on the bed. "It's beautiful but the Covenant wouldn't want a planet just because it's pretty." continued Nick.
"Ya know they started digging." said Rose. "They want something, and they must want it bad.". Zevende, the Winged Fire's artificial intelligence, came on the speaker.
"Rose, please assemble Echo team and report to hanger 8-B." Said Zevende.
"Right away, Echo 3 out." replied Rose. She then stood up and walked into the kitchen, where Alex and Derrick were eating some toast. Derrick looked up with an annoyed glare. Whenever Rose interrupted a meal, there was a reason. He had also heard the announcement.
"Deployment to the surface?" asked Alex.
"Zevende didn't say, but don't see any other reason why we'd go down there." said Rose.
"Ok, you heard her." said Derrick. "Head down to the armory and get your gear, then meet up at hanger 8-B." said Derrick.
"Yes, Sir!" replied everyone. They all got up and headed out the door.

Rose was right, they were going to the surface. The D77-TC pelican dropped then off in the Suburban town of Maiz Chuidad, The only thing that moved was them and the flies fluttering around the corpses of civilians. Derrick looked in disgust at them. A sad reminder that the Covenant killed civilians.

An unngoy minor like Zip was never allowed to drive a spirit drop ship. However after Hal Delnamass was sniped from the driver seat by the humans who referred to themselves as orbital drop shock troopers, he had to take the controls He angled up, missing the tip of a human structure by mere centimeters. He tried to regain control but the ship tilted to the right. Zip hit buttons like mad hoping that one of them would help, but none of the did, he opened the door, and deactivated the grav lift. He didn't need to turn off the grav lift. He turned the stick to the left so hard that his fingers starts to become sore, he then held the stick in the middle in an attempt to steady the ship. He crashed in a lake half a kilometer north of Maiz Chuidad.

Nick took point and moved in for a better view of the Covenant spirit. It had crashed into a lake. Nick pointed his M392 towards the crash site and waved his hand for everyone to mover up. Derrick moved up silently behind him. His mark IV MJOLNIR armor was the same as everyone elses, but the small "163" on his shoulder let him know it was Derrick. Derricks acknowledgment light winked green., the "go ahead" for the team. The Spirit was still smoking black and blue fumes. The door panels moved and Echo team stopped in their place. The door panel broke off their hinges and out fell a Grunt minor with 3 pieces of metal stuck in his side. Fluorescent blue blood oozed from the wound around the grunts side. Echo team watched him stumble forward and look up. He stumbled back and made a high pitched squeal before Rose shot him in the ankle with a tranquilizer. He moaned and fell to the ground. Rose walked over to him.

"why didn't you just shoot him?" asked Nick. Rose rolled her eyes inside her helmet.
"Information, Nick. The more we have, the better off we are." replied Rose, a slight sense of talking back in her voice. He bandaged the Grunts wound and put in back in the pelican. Echo team moved forward in the city.
