" Engage emergency thrusters" yelled Captain Jacob Keys. " Yes Sir" said the navigation officer on the U.N.S.C ship Outlander. " MAC guns at 100% sir" said the weapons officer. " Fire a heavy round private" said Captain Keys. " It's a hit" yelled one of the officers in charge of visuals. The shield on the covenant ship flickered and died out. " Brace for impact" yelled a bridge officer. The ship shook wildly and knocked captain Keys to the ground he broke his fall by grabbing a pole. " Cortana, where are we hit and how bad is it" asked Captain Keys. A Hologram woman popped up on the table and says we were hit hard in sections 3-4 it's burning through them. " Firs archer missiles" said captain keys to the weapons officer. He looked out the window and says hundreds of little missiles flying into space with exhaust tails trailing behind it. Right before they hit the covenant ship let a huge plasma shot out that was heading for us. The archer missiles hit and the covenant ship exploded. Just then the plasma shot hit the ship in the back burning through it. "That finished off sections 3-5" said cortana. " Everybody please make your way to the nearest life boat" said Captain Keys over the COMM system. He ran down to the cryo-chamber and had the engineers wake up the Spartans. He and all the Spartans got in a lifeboat with cortana in captain Keys's COMM system. All the marines got in lifeboats and headed for earth except for 5 lifeboats filled with 20 marines each.
They were headed into space they were set off course by the explosion of the covenant ship. All 100 marines in the 5 lifeboats headed off to a distant planet. 2 Days later they were entering a huge planet that had greenish bluish soil. Brace for Impact in 10 seconds. One of the marines the highest rank there a General named Kevin Williams said " This is it Marines here we go". Crash all 5-life boats crashed with not more than 3 seconds apart from each other. Kevin got up and asked everyone if they were ok. He got a bombardment of yea yes and yup. He got out and swung his assault rifle around making sure it was all clear. The pilot died his blood was splashed all around the cockpit. Just then Kevin heard a large piece of debris falling out of the sky all though it wasn't debris and 5 followed it more. They landed and He got the other marines in the other 4 lifeboats.
They went over they were supply vessels that were probably knocked here just like we were. They opened them and got the ammo first. They got 60 Jackhammer rocket launchers, 400 assault rifles, 375 shotguns, 400 M6D pistols, and 50 sniper rifles. They then brought out the crates of ammo and supplies. Then they brought out the warthogs, and tanks. It summed up to 3o warthogs and 15 tanks. They then cut up the lifeboats and made a large base. Set up the crates for cover in front and placed them 3 crates then a I crate long space then 3 more so they could park the warthogs backwards so the guns were facing outwards. Then they set up a patrol of tanks and stationed tanks. They got a huge amount of ammo. After they had been there for 5 months the radio wasn't working and they didn't dare go out wandering. But one day Kevin was taking a ride in a warthog when lifeboats and supply ships landed again. He found out who hey are and how they got there. After that they had as good a base as any over 500 marines. They had enough ammo to take almost any covenant fleet. One day they were looking out and saw what seemed like a horizontal line of what seemed like a purple ocean rushing towards them it was purplish. Everybody kept saying how beautiful it was until they started falling to the ground dead. " It's the covenant" yelled Kevin. They started firing the warthog guns and the tanks snipers from everywhere and lines of 70 jackhammer rockets from launchers flying towards them blowing everything near them to pieces. Enemy tanks ghosts infantry elites, jackals, grunts, hunters. Transports, drop ships, and banshees were coming in. We were fighting like mad when then 40 loud booms shot to my ears. When we saw missiles flying towards them. I turned around and saw 40 or more tanks in line taking care of the enemy artillery. They kept coming and we kept firing until there infantry reached ours. It was hell blood of all colors flying everywhere it was so gory you couldn't tell whether what you say was just a spray of blood or a thing covered in something else's blood.

The Master Chief ran at a Hunter as it charged its fuel rod cannon. The Hunter fired it's Fuel Rod Cannon and the Master Chief dove out of the way. The Fuel Rod Cannon missed the Master Chief and hit a marine. The marine was blown back and was missing the upper half of his torso. The Master Chief turned and leveled his MA5B at the Hunter's head. The Master Chief fired two three round bursts, but the rounds had no effect against the Hunter's armor. The Hunter fired another Fuel Rod Cannon blast and the Master Chief narrowly avoided it but his shields were gone. The Master Chief jumped and rolled behind a rock and spotted a number of barrels filled with gasoline, which was behind the Hunter. He aimed for the barrels but the Master Chief noticed he had no ammo left and changed his clip, but during this time the Hunter fired another blast from his Fuel Rod Cannon and blew most of the rock away. Then the Master Chief fired his MA5B at the barrels and blew them to pieces, in which the barrels exploded and engulfed the Hunter in flames.
The Master Chief watched the Hunter as it burnt alive. The Master Chief waited a second for his shields to recharge and then helped out Kevin who was having trouble killing five Elites. The Master Chief fired a short burst from his MA5B and a Elite dropped to the floor while blood was oozing out. Kevin and the Master Chief were caught off guard when a group of maybe 15 Elites came out of no where. The Elites fired their Plasma Rifles and Needlers at the Master Chief and Kevin. The Master Chief sidestepped to the right and ducked, Kevin at almost the same time dove forward and came up in the midst of the Elites. Kevin fired a whole clip from his MA5B into two Elites killing them and smashing his rifle into another Elite's face. The Master Chief fired his MA5B and finished off an Elite's already damaged shield. Then Kevin smashed that Elites skull into a pulp while the Master Chief fired 20 rounds at an Elite's head. The Elites started falling back and Kevin fired in a full-auto fusillade emptying another clip into them as they did. Three more Elites fell.
The Elites stopped and fired their Plasma Rifles at Kevin cutting down his shields. The Elites fired their Needlers and one needle went right into Kevin's chest. The needle exploded ripping open his armor and tearing open part of his chest. The Master Chief reloaded and fired on the Elites cutting down all of their shields. The Master Chief primed a grenade and then counted to three and tossed it at the Elites. The grenade exploded killing most of the Elites and who ever was still alive was killed by the last shells from the Master Chief's MA5B. The Master Chief ran over to Kevin and check out his wounds. Kevin had a large gash in his chest and parts of his rib cage wasn't there. If the Master Chief didn't get to a doctor soon Kevin could and would die. The Master Chief dragged Kevin to a safe spot behind a burning Wraith. The Master Chief filled Kevin's wound up with bio-foam. The Master Chief called over to a group of three marines who were slaughtering a few Grunts. The Master Chief told the marines to watch over Kevin and they agreed while being spooked out from seeing him. The Master Chief then returned to the battle as Kevin slipped into unconsciousness. As the Master Chief was getting back into the fighting, some of the marines were under heavy fire and were being cut down.
The Master Chief ran towards them and took a bunch of plasma bolts so the marines could take cover. The Master Chief fired his MA5B into a group of 35 Grunts and 5 Jackals. Plasma was flying everywhere and when the Master Chief was about to seek cover a large amount of Grunts were blown apart. The Master Chief saw that the marines had stayed there and were helping him out. The Master Chief switched to Shredder rounds and began ripping the Grunts apart. Over charged plasma was fired from the Jackal's plasma pistols and killed a few marines. The Master Chief ran towards the Jackals as their plasma pistols were cooling down. He jumped over their shields and brought his MA5B to bear on the Jackals. The Master Chief fired and killed all of the Jackals. The remaining Covenant forces tried to regroup but were slaughtered like helpless sheep. Soon after that the battle was over.
The outcome wasn't too bad but wasn't too good. The marines suffered around 187 casualties and about 113 that were wounded. The Master Chief found a working radio and sent a message to Captain Keyes, "We need backup here Sir, we have isolated the enemy but we don't have a good estimate of how many are still there" said the Master Chief. "We are sending multiple pelicans full of marines to your location at the moment to help you destroy the remaining forces Master Chief" replied the Captain.
Years passed and the human forces have fought multiple battles on the worlds the Covenant have. The Master Chief has long since left this planet and has been fighting on other worlds, but he once again returns to help fight the ongoing battle on this specific planet. The Spartan III project has begun and has already been perfected. The human race has come close to replicating the plasma weapons the Covenant use. The marines and Spartans still use assault rifles The Master Chief has gotten his MJOLNIR suit modified and buffed. Its speed, strength, and shields have been upgraded. Dr. Halsley is still working in Section 3. The Master Chief is still the most combat experienced and highest ranking Spartan. No new suitable Spartan subjects have been found yet to begin another group.

" Sir" said a distant and quiet sounding voice. " Sir the captain needs you in HQ immediately" it was a marine talking to the master Chief. As the master chief awoke and sat up he looked at the marine. The marine stood at attention. He shot a crisp salute to John. " At ease, private" said the Spartan. " The captain needs you A.S.A.P at HQ," said the marine. The marine stood at least 6'1 well built and battle ready. He wore a full body of armor and held a MA5B assault rifle. The master chief jumped out of bed and dressed him self in his MJOLNIR battle suite. And rushed out of the sleeping quarters. On his way out he grabbed a M6D pistol from a shelf next to his bad.
He slipped it into his holster and made his way swiftly to HQ. He entered the bunker it was a large room it reminded him of the HQ he had visited in training. It was titanium floored and walled. It was filled with computer systems and rushing officers. They all seemed to have a mission as they moved as swiftly as the master chief fought. He walked up to the Captain and gave him a crisp salute. " At ease Master Chief" said the captain he appeared to be resisting eye contact but he stood still. He then turned to John and told him "he had received a message that Captain Kale would be needing him". " For what reason Captain I am hesitant to leave my post here," said John sounding concerned for the marines here. " You have your orders soldier pack up you leave in 0200 hours" said the captain insisting and sounding quit irritated. The master Chief snapped straight like a splinter and gave the sharpest salute he could manage. He stood at attention for 10 seconds before the captain turned away and proceeded to his job. The master chief returned to his casual state. Wondering why the captain seemed so hesitant to speak to him as if he knew this would mean something bad for his troops. John walked back to his quarters packing his things. He changed into his formal military suite. It was filled with badges and campaign medals.
The next day the master chief awoke and loaded his things in a pelican drop ship. It brought him to a larger airbase recently developed on a ground where the covenant had been destroyed. The pelican landed and dropped the master chief. A marine that took his bags and gestured for the master chief to follow him greeted him. After they had cleared the pelican and got into a bunker. " A long sword is waiting for you in the hanger, Sir" said the marine quickly. " Better follow me," suggested the marine as he spun around on his heel and started sprinting down the hall. The master chief followed not quite as fast as he could because he was in his formal suite.
He reached the hangar and he saw the large long sword fighter ship with its engines standing by. It was black with a zigzag on the back of both its wings. It was smooth and thin. It was as black as night with a red stripe going across it. He jogged toward it and the boarding ramp lowered and he walked in. " A marine came in after him to help him into his cryo-tube. He undressed until he was totally naked. He had been naked in front of other Military officers before. As he readied himself to be put into the cryo-tube a very beautiful young woman entered the pelican. Judging by her uniform she was a civilian. The master chief was lowered into the cryo-tube and it was shut. He couldn't stop watching the beautiful young woman. Then just as he felt the chemicals pouring into the transparent tube the woman looked over to him and started to blush. She hurried away not looking at him. The master chiefs eyes shut tight. He awoke to a voice on a Com system wired to the tube. We will be arriving on the Pillar of Autumn in 45 mins better get ready," said a marine that seemed to be monitoring 2 cryo-tubes. As the hatch opened he stepped out and he stood there shaking off the freeze. Just then another cryo-tube opened and the young woman stepped out she was tall and slender. As he had said before he had been naked before in front of his commandoes before but this was a civilian and didn't know how to react. She looked at him and appeared to be startled she ran into a sub compartment that was very cramped. The master chief got dressed in his formal uniform again. The woman stepped out and she was dressed in a gray flight suite. He asked her " where she intended to go on the ship" politely. And she told him that she was visiting a marine that was her brother to tell him there father had died of a heart attack in his sleep.
He was escorted to the bridge where he found Captain Kale. He was chewing an old pipe. The master chief found this as an annoyance. " Good morning master chief" said the captain calmly. The master chief snapped to a crisp salute and said " Good morning Sir". " At ease, master chief, as you may know I have assigned you an important mission mater chief" said the Captain. " Sir I am at your services" said John forcefully. " You are to go to earth and examine the children there and I need you to pick 100 new possible Spartan's," said Captain Kale. " O yes and make sure they are suitable for the enhancements. Remember how when you were little when you first met Dr.Halsley you were playing king of the hill, well make sure there almost breaking the other kids bones, I swear when I saw you I saw some broken arms and fingers for sure" commented Captain Kale. " Sir yes Sir" barked the master Chief. " Good you leave in 3 days bring whatever necessary tools you will need and pick a assistant that will aide you in your search" ordered Captain Kale.
" Yes Sir" barked the chief. He started down the hall way and started packing his things. He couldnt stop thinking about the mission that he was informed he was going to be training a group of young spartans. He'd remembered when he was being trained watching little 8 year old kids breaking the fingers of fully grown Odst officers when they were taunting them. He couldnt stop remembering when he met Dr.Halsey how confused he was when she tried to tell how fast his mental reflexes were by flipping a coin and having him figure out what side it would land on. And Captain Keys............ A flash of the flood infested carcas of the mutating Vaptain Keys flashed threw his Mind.
