The Battles For Centauri Primus : Chapter One
Date: 25 September 2003, 11:01 PM
0930 Hours October 22 2553(Military Calendar)/
UNSC Military Facility, planet Centauri Primus
Everyone clapped as John finished his speech. The two meter tall Spartan walked away to an elevatar that took him up seventeen floors were his newly traind SPARTAN IIIs awaited him. THe men and women looked in aw as the Master Chief walked throught the door wearing is full military suit with all his countless gleaming medals and awards."Master Chief sir , we have a problem."
"What is it Private?"
" A fleet of nearly four thousand covenant warships are headed right this way sir."
"Alright Admiral Blake then meet me and the others in the locker room."
Thje Pvt. snapped a salute and was off. The locker room was crowded as the 75 Spartans adorned them selves in the legendary MJLONIR armor.Each Spartan grabbed their own personilized MA5B assault rifles and thier own personilized Battle Rifles and where off.
Admiral Blake himself met the Master Chif outside the locker room.The Master Chief and his Spartans snapped a brisk salute."Master Chief its about time we, the UNSC, give you something for your outstanding service for Earth."
The two walked out to a balcony and watched as atleast 1 million MJLONIR wearing Spartans marched in formation"What are they?"
"They're an army of the finest people alive...thy're Spartans....and al of them serve you and you alone Master Chief. Your Spartan 3 will serve as their Sergents and Lieutenants."
The Chief was shaking with the glistenenig green army.Soon He would test them.
.......Four Days Later......
The Covenant sotrmed the planet two days ago. Since then its been hell. Admiral Blakes Apcolypse class war ship took out the first five Covenenant ships that desellerated from slipspace.The battle on the surface was hell.
The Master Chief fires his MA5B bursts and watched as four Grunts went down. Behind him rockets and missiles screamed into the Covenant ranks scatering them.The smell of corpses filled the air.Thick black smoke coiled lazily up into the sky form wreaked veichles.
There was a loud explosion as a Covenant Frigate Fell from the sky in flames.Wraith tanks flew over hills and reduced marines to dust.Scorpion missles tore the same tanks apart.Plasma scorched the battlefield and fire was everywhere.
The Master Chief empeted his MA5B clip into an Elites gut. The Chief led his army of Spartans to the ruins of the Military Facility that had stood only days before. The UNSC built a makeshift commandcenter in the crumbled basements. Longswords screemed overhead in an effort to burn the Covenant out with the 18 megaton napalm bomb called the INCINERATER. The bomb went off and thousands of Covenant went up in flames, but the battle raged on.
The Chief now armed himself whith a M90 shotgun and slung his personilized MA5B over his back.Another explosion produced yet another Covenat Frigate falling from the sky. By now the ground was scorcged with deep mortar and ship scares.
Another INCINERATER went off along with a HAVOC tactical nuke(the two were 20 miles apart).The Covenant ground forces were almost fought off when suddenly an Apcolypse class war ship fell from the sky. The Chief new it belonged to Admiral Blake.
It was over. The Covenant shurly would be now finishing off the human ships left in the sky. That very fact pushed the Master Chief forward. He turned to Sergeant Clarke."Sarge get the men moving. I want everyone still wearing our armor to move to that cliff face...now!"
The cliff face was about three miles from their current position....but he knew they would make it.
......Six Hours Later......
The army os Spartans had succesfully dug a new commandcenter into the cliff wall. LAAG staitonary turrets along with sandbabs piled a meter high were placed along the full perimeter of the commandcenter.
HAVOCs and INCINERATERs went off left and right, but no matter how many Covenant were killed hundreds more kept replacing them.A platoon of Covenant led by a commander Elite charged the command center. The grout was blasted apart in roughly 50 seconds by an endless supplay of LAAG armor piercing rounds.
Suddenly the Covenant armies retreated back to the planets orbit to hold thier positions. This formed an impassible blockade around the planet. The naval fleets had fallen ,but the ground forces stil held the planet.
The tired Master Chief turned to his men. His armor was covered in mud and spattered in covenant blood."thw Covenant have fled making us the winners of the first battle for Centauri Primus, but there will be more. When those damned Covenat bastards come back we'll be waiting...to give 'em one helluva beatin!!!!!!!!!!"
The Battles For Centauri Primus : Chapter Two
Date: 5 October 2003, 7:22 PM
0330 October 27 2553(Military Calander)
Cliff Command Center, planet Centauri Primus
The Master Chief was right, the Covenant did come again, and only hours after the first battle.Only this time the Covenant were attemting to glass the planet.The Master Chief wasnt about to let that happen.
A banshee screamed toward the base and opened fire. Four marines were scorched before LAAG gunfire brought the banshee down in a ball of smoke and fire.A loud explosion was heard and a Covenant fighter fell from the sky, most likely taken out by whatever MAC orbital guns remained.
A salvo of HAVOCs and INCINERATORs went off and set the battlefield on fire. Centauri Primus was dieing. The nukes and napalm along with the Covenant plasma bombs were slowly ripping the planet apart. Suddenly a horrified voice cam over the com link."I..is anyb...body t..there?P..p..please send r..reinforcments."
That was all the Spartan needed.John sprinted to a worthog , picked up two other spartans and was off.They drove for about 7 kilometers. The area the were headed for was burnt and blasted from heavy plasma fire. The Chief strained to see anything. In a mountain side he saw an installation or atleast the entrance to one. " The marines must be in that instalation. Bring the ammo and leave the worthog. We'll call for a dropship whan we find them."
....Two Hours Later....
"We've been going down for hours. Are we lost or somthing?"
The Master Chief wasnt really sure, the damned place looked the same. Then he remembered something. This place looked just the same as the installation on HALO where he first found the FLOOD. The chief slung his MA5B and drew his M90 shotgun. "We have to go."
He heard a scream. He turned and watched as one of his spartans was beeing ripped apart by a strange looking combat form of the FLOOD. He fired the gun and the Combat form flew apart, but it was to late, the spartan was already dead."We've got to get to the surface and call for evac...lets move damnit!!!"
........................
They were gone. The whole army desroyed by a Covenant nuclear salvo. The Covenant had landed and now where beginning to search for something...but what?
Thats exactly what SPARTAN III Robert 133 wanted to know. He had watched as the plasma nukes fell slaughtering human and covenant alike. Nearly all the SPARTAN IIIs were gone. Only about 65 survived. Most of the SPARTAN army survived only because the human armys pulled back mere moments before the plasma nukes fell.
Suddenly Robert felt a very sharp pain in his back. He tried to look but he fell over, his eyes were bluring and he could feel a warm feeling come over him. He closed his eyes just after some horribly misshapen figure ripped off his helmet. Before he died he felt thousands of sharp pains all over him, then he couldnt breath. He felt his heart and lungs being ripped out, and something cold replaced them. He stopped thinking, and before he knew it he was dead.
......................
The two Spartans had been running for minutes before they finally reached an opening. John turned and blasted a combat form. John looked around and saw a lift in the middle of the room, they climbed on, and the lift started to ascent toward the surface. " Pelican Echo 977 this is SPARTAN Master Chief 117 calling for immediate evac. in sector Alpha Beta quadrant 4. Repeat requesting immediate evac in sector Alpha Beta quadrant 4."
No one answered. They came to the surface fast and with an ubrupt halt. They sprinted toward the exit. The surface was chared blackish ,and Covenant were everywhere."What happened?"
The Chief checked for survivors...there were none, just him and Tom 227. " Master Chief is that you?"
"Yes. May I ask who this is?'
"This is Admiral Charleston, Cole Charleston of the Apocolpse class warship ARMAGEDDON. We are responding to a didstress signal from Adimiral Blake onboard the WASHINGTON. Is he there?
"No im afraid he has been destroyed. Another SPARTAN and I are the only known human survivors of the armies and fleets."
"Sounds like you boys could use some helo. Me 'n' my fleet 'll be there in 4 hours."
.....4 Hours Later.....
The covenant now completly owned the planet and were preparing to glass it when the ARMAGEDDON blasted a frigate clear out of the sky. A fleet of over 500 hundred sheeps followed that action by sending salvo after salvo of ARCHER missles and Apcolypse warheads into the hulls of thousands of covenant ships. Half of the Covenant fleet was destroyed within the first half an hour of the naz]val battle.
When the Master Chief heard this he smiled and slightly laughed. He new that there would be plenty more battles with his discovery of the FLOOD, but he discarded that thought for now.
The Battles For Centauri Primus : Chapter Three
Date: 7 October 2003, 12:03 AM
1130 Hours October 27 2553(Military Calander)
306th Military Barracks,Prima Gracious, planet Centauri Primus
Splinter rounds errupted from the nozzeles of the MA5B Assualt Rifles. Covenant were everywhere. Second Lieutenant Chris Armstrong yelled orders to what marines wernt dead or wounded. He could hear banshees overhead so he knew that they couldnt escape that way without suffering atleast a few casaulties. He didnt want that, he had already seen enough dead in this battle.
Moments before he recieved a call from the Master Chief that Admiral Charleston of the ARMAGEDDON had stormed the Covenant position over the planet with a fleet of hundreds of ships.Armstrong wanted to meet the Chief baddly.Armstrong didnt know what the hell was going on , hell he wasnt even sure if the generals where even alive! He had heard from the Master Chief that Admiral Blakes ship had crash landed.
Outside Armstrong heard an explosin."What the hell was that?"
"Covenant mortal shells sir."
Damn that was the last thing he needed, Covenant heavy artillery. Suddenly a Covenant storm party burst through the battered entrance and immediatly killed five marines. Armstrong stod up lobbed 3 frag grenades then fired his MA5B in burts until they were dead. That was dumb. Now the entrance was gone, just a massive hole was there."Pull back, we can no longer hold them!!!!!"
They ran down to the bottom floor. No Covenant followed, just explosins. Suddenly plasma fire errupted from behind them"OPEN FIRE!!!!"
SPLINTER armor piercing rounds ripped the Covenant ranks apart. Still they poared forth from the hole in the basement wall. Armstrong turned to see more Covenant flooding in from the upper levels. Damn they were trapped. A Hunter burst forth from the whole and fired....3 marines yelled in pain and 2 more were turned to a pile of dust. Another Hunter came from the top, the same thing happened...3 marines yelled in pain and 3 more were gone, one of them happened to be just beside Lieutenant Armstrong. Armstrong led his marines on a last ditch effoert against the Covenant on the stairs and top floor. The platoon was about 3/4 of the way there when the Covenant retreated and something more horrible replaced them...Srmstrong reconized them form the tapes brought back from HALO...they were the FLOOD."O shit....RUN!!!!!!!!"
The marines bolted the rest of the way up and out not even caring what they passed by.Outside they notted that the lush temperate forests that had stood mere hours before, where gone...the ground was charred from plasma fire."Lieutenat Armstrong....you there?"
It was the Master Chief."Yes sir where here.Would it be possible to come pick us up and strike this whole perimeter with a few INCINERATERs sir?"
"I wouldnt know you'll have to ask Admiral Charleston on that he is in charge know, why do you ask?"
"We came in contact with some FLOOD sir."
There was scilence."Evac and Longswords with INCINERATERs on the way Lieutenant."
...............
The silent hum of the new stealth dropships allowed the marines to hear the screaming Covenant and FLOOD that were burning from the vicious napalm strikes. Lieutenant Armstrong was praying, thanking god for getting them the hell outta there. Private Jimmy Thompson applied his wounded leg with gaws and a few stimpacks and walked over to Lieutenant Armstrong."You gotta wife sir?"
"Yes, and 2 little girls back on the hidden PLUTO colonies, why, u got a family?"
"Yes sir a wife and a little boy, born just the Covenant invaded this planet, there on the PLOTO colonies as well.Listen, Lieutenant, do you think we'll make it outta this alive?"
Armstrong looked at Jimmy and laughed."That I canot answer right now my boy."
................
The 3 stealth pelicans touched down somewhere called Omega Zone. Everyone wwas there, the Master Chief, Admiral Charleston, and now Lieutenant Chris Armstrong. THey were all called there to discuss the current threat of the FLOOD and how they would deall with them, Armstrong kept his MA5B with him just in case of an ambush...he didnt want to be cought unarmed. If he was gonna die he would go down fighting.
.................
It had been mere minutes into the meeting when an ear shatering explosion came from outside. Thousands of Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Brutes, and Hunters stormed the command center. Armstrong rushed out and immediatly shot into the crowd of covenant.
.................
Being in orbit wasnt much better either. Covenant battle cruisers launched a surprise attak against the human fleet. Many ships were crippled from intense plasma torpedoes and fell to the planet. Moments later the human fleet surrendered but the Covenant still shot them down.
.................
Armstrong watched in aw as hundreds of UNSC ships fell from the sky in thick balls of black smoke and flame. The ground shook almost constatly. There was a loud scream as cloacked Elites stormed the command center and began slaughtering marines. Armstrong fired his MA5B in short sustaind bursts but it didnt help much.
The Elites surprise attack allowed the Covenant army to seige the base."Take prisinors"
Thats what Chris Armstrong heard as plasma rifle smacked him in the back of the skull rendering him unconcious.All around him the Covenant were taking prisoners , the Master Chief, Admiral Charleston, and him included.
The Covenant loaded the some 200 prisoners onto transports and began to return to the covenant frigate called the POWERandPRIDE. Behind them the command center exploded leaving no trace of the marines behind.
