Date: 27 April 2002, 8:35 pm

A sizzling crackle forms and is sent to the ears of Spartan john 117 also known as Master chief. It is 10 years after the destruction of the Halo. And many improvements have come across the Spartans. New HUD systems, Upgraded weapons, and armor, they are physically enhanced body movement lets them run up to 80 mph. The armor weight has been reduced although the armor is more efficient and can take much more abuse than the old armor. There shields are more rechargeable and can have a back up system, if the shields die it can generate a weak shield for the amount of time it takes to regenerate although it can not take much it still gives them a few seconds of heavy fire. Even with all these upgrades for the master chief they also have been assigned 5 more Spartans. Although earth is doing well technologically it also has another enemy, the flood id free to move from planet to planet. But it is not only a threat to us but to the covenant as well. The master chief walks into his sleeping quarters. He walks by a case in which it holds the M90 shotgun and the Ma5b assault rifle that saved his life in the fight against the flood on halo. He always keeps it loaded. He takes a standard issue of the upgraded m6d pistol the M9d pistol it is equipped with semi armor piercing bullets ammo count 23 fires up to 2x magnification on an automatic or semi-automatic fire. He slips it into a holster and walks slowly down a hall. To the Command station, He greets Captain Howitzer and Dr.Halsley. "Good morning Master Chief." Said captain Howitzer. "Good morning Captain." Responds Master chief. We are in trouble Master Chief The covenant fleet is right on our tale we tried to out run them but the caught us in slip space and tore right through the hole we left in it. They hit us with 2 boarding vessels and one was infested with the flood virus. So we have covenant and flood right on top of us we are taking the Virginia down. " But sir you cant take a UNSC ship down on earth with covenant on our tails and flood in our ship." Said master chief. Master chief we have run out of options we can kill all communications within their ships and draw them in. We can't handle them alone. "But sir" said master chief... " There is one other way." Said captain Howitzer. "What is it Captain?" asked Master Chief. We can evacuate all personnel on the ship and send The Virginia away without navigation. You mean we abandon ship and let the follow it? " That's exactly what I'm saying." Lets do it! " Master Chief first I'm gonna need you to get the other Spartans and get rid of our little flood problem." Said captain Howitzer. " Ok how many are there they have overrun the first and second floors of the Virginia". Ok let's go! The master chief starts sprinting down the halls at 60 mph when he sees 2 marines with little aliens that look like bugs burrowing into there bodies. He had seen a lot of ugly things before and he knew that they were being infested. He walked up to them and stomped on the spot of their body where the flood was burrowing crushing ones rib cage and the alien host. The other one was already starting to decay he stepped on his neck and crushed the organs in his neck including the spinal chord. As he keeps walking he finds some more marines in good health. They follow him just as he turns a corner an infested elite jumps at him swings his weapon in an attempt to hit him in the head. The Master chief ducks with lightning fast reflexes comes back up punching him hard in the face forcing a chunk of the aliens chin to fly off, almost instantly the marines here 6 loud bangs and before they even had a chance to see what happened the alien fell to the ground with 6 deep bullet holes in it. The Master Chief turns to them with a M9D pistol in his hand. He then emptied the rest of the clip into its gut to ensure safety from past experiences with flood suddenly jumping up after he shot them and really leveling in the back of the head at times. He keeps on walking down the halls. The marines just stand there and try to remember what just happened. It is all a blur due to the speed of it all they couldn't even see what happened. They come into the sleeping quarters of the rookie Spartans. Spartan Bruce 218, Spartan Jacob 239, Spartan Kelley 167, Spartan Kevin 247, and Spartan Jeffery 299. The Spartan Kelley reminded him of a friend that he had a long time ago in training when he was young. She had died during the fall of the planet Reach. They all assembled and snapped to attention and greeted him with a sharp salute. At ease Spartans I am guessing you all know the opposition and mission? " Sir Yes Sir!" Shouted all five of them. Well than suite up its gonna get messy. Fall out, Move Move Move!

The awakening (life of a Spartan) chap 2
Date: 4 May 2002, 6:54 pm

     One by one the Spartans suited up. Once all of them were in the presence of the master Chief again he brought them to the ammo room. Each Spartan took a standard M9D pistol, a MA5B assault rifle, and a M90 shotgun. Then they load up on ammo. One Spartan grabs a medical kit; he notices she has a Medic sign on her helmet. The Master Chief carries his own M90 shotgun, and Ma5b assault rifle and a concealed M9D pistol.
     They fall into line as he debriefs them just incase they weren't paying attention during the previous mission briefing. "We are to isolate floors 1 and 2 and seal them off so we can land the ship without worrying about being over run with flood or covenant, then we will get ourselves into an escape pod and blast ourselves to earth". "Any questions"? Nobody made a sound or move. "Good then move out"! One by one they run down the halls covering each other moving like one thing the master chief watched them work together watching each others back at least 2 squads of elites and special operation grunt were knocked out with out even touching the Spartans. This happens because of the cover they are supported with nothing could escape the watch of the 5 Spartans. The Spartans here 2 loud roars and a shot as one of the Spartans was thrown away into another Spartan as a reflex the Spartan that was hit by the hurdling Spartan fired right into the other Spartan spraying blood everywhere. The Master chief jumped and rolled and set on one knee firing his assault rifle at the 2 hunters charging at them. The other 3 capable Spartans turn and start to fire as well. Then All of a sudden they both fall and blood squirts all over the floor. Behind them stood 2 marines holding a MA5B assault rifle, and a M9D pistol. They had shot the hunters in the un-armored spot on there back. This was a discovery made by the master chief in a run in with a few hunters on Halo.
     "Good work marines" said the master chief. Just then one fell to the ground revealing a large wound on the side of him. Then the other they had been in a fight with other infested marines although these marines weren't infested. The master chief inspected their wounds. " Buck shot from the flood he bled to death internally". As the other 2 hurt Spartans raised up to the ground the medic helps them one had a punctured lung from one of the ribs than because they cannot break was shifted and was punctured. "This Spartan is in deep shit if we don't help him Sir"! "You" said the master chief escort this Spartan to the medical center. "How is the other one"? " He's fine but his armor is burnt from the fuel rod cannon shot but nothing serious". " Ok back to work Spartans he'll be fine". Lets go"! They come to a turn and they see plasma shot and bullets fly by and just as one of the Spartans attempts to walk out a rocket flies by the master chief grabs him and pulls him back. " Are you nuts soldier you walk out there you're as good as dead". " We go around it and hit them from behind, but we need to split up ok, Kevin and Jacob you to go that was and me and Kelley go this was". As they turn to run the master chief notices that he is sprinting and she is at a slow jog. The only time he had ever seen this happen is when he was running along side his friend Kelley back in training. He shook the ideas out of his head and concentrated again. They came to a stop and used his COM unit to radio the other guys. " Hey Spartans you at the corner where the next turn leads to them"? "Yup were there". " Ok when you see a grenade explosion that's the signal to go and mow them down ok". " Rodger". The master chief took 2 grenades pulled the pin off them and threw them in the center of the fight. 6 dead bodies flew away as blood as usual splattered everywhere. A Grunt with a needler was walking by and some blood squirted into his eyes he squealed and ran blindly into the master chief that grabbed it by the arms picked it up and slammed it against a wall just hard enough to knock it out. There was something different about this grunt he had insignias on him that seemed to show that he was a captain. He put him under his arm jumped out and started a short spray of gunfire at the other aliens Kelley did the same. Since the other 2 Spartans had jumped out first all the aliens were firing at them so the master chief and Kelley were firing at there backs they were cut down into pieces by the time the master chief gave out the order to seize fire. He effortlessly with one hand put the grunt in Kelley's hand. He walked up to a fatigued elite. It raised it gun to hit him. Just as it swung the master chief Grabbed his fore arm and twisted it until it sickly had snapped and rotated 4 times in a circle. He let go and the elite fell to the ground it limp arm untwisted and the elite howled in pain as it entire side of its body seemed useless. He got it on its knees and kneed it sharply in the chin easily breaking its cheek, nose, jaw, and several green circular hard objects possibly its teeth out of its mouth it coughed up blood and said something in its native language. " May the god's forever curse you and be damned eternally to the fires of the prison of all god's". " O shut up you son of a bitch" as the master chief punched it fracturing its skull and instantly killing it. They then set explosives on the floors and locked all the doors so the explosion wouldn't go throughout the entire ship. They then had 3 minutes to get in an escape pod and down to earth. They pilled in and strapped up. Just then the master chief thought of the marines down on the covenant home world. The coordinates were already set to the master chiefs surprised yet pleased comfort. He fond something strange about the numbers but thought nothing of it. It was just then that he realized that there was a pilot in the cockpit but it was limp and dead. There was blood everywhere in the cockpit. Just the he realized this was one of the pods sent to the covenant home world that why he thought of it his HUD picked up the incorrect data and he read it with out thinking and he thought about it. "Every body get off this is the wrong ship," yelled the master chief. " TO LATE" screamed one of the Spartans! IT took off to the covenant home world where many marines were fighting courageously. 3 days later the rations in the pod were gone and they were approaching the planet. Impact in 10 everybody. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. Brace for impact! 1. The ship starts rumbling and then crashes to the ground. " Everybody ok" asked master chief urgently? " Yes sir". Answered many voices. They stepped out onto the barren blue ground of the covenant home world. Just the 3 wart hogs, and 2 Scorpion tanks pulled up. " Hold it". " Who are you, drop your weapons"? " I am Spartan John 117 also known as master chief"! " Put down your weapons before I arrest you for disrespecting a Superior officer soldier"! " Sorry sir we cant take any chances anymore with all these flood infested vessels coming down anymore". " Take me to central command, now"! " Sir yes Sir"! All the Spartans hopped a wart hog. And followed the marines to base. " Good morning sir" said the commanding officer here. " Good morning".

" Well then I guess I haven't introduced myself yet" said the Commanding Officer. "I am captain Calvin Yorker" said The officer as he snapped to a sharp salute. " That's great now I need the fastest ship to earth immediately" said the master chief firmly. " I'm sorry but it's to dangerous to send up a ship right now if we were to be discovered our entire mission would be in danger" replied the Captain. " Well then I guess you wouldn't consider the danger you're putting your self in now, Do you know how powerful a half ton cyber enhanced human that could crush you so much when you went to the medics they couldn't tell witch organ was witch like a tooth pick do to a scrawny little weakling like you" threatened the Master Chief. " I wouldn't really care Sir" said the Captain spitting in The master Chiefs visor. At that moment the master chief grabbed him by both sides of his gut and held him slightly sideways and asked him " Do you remember the thing I said about your organs" said the master Chief? The Master Chief then threw him down weakly on the ground although he threw him weakly the Captain was still in serious danger of internal bleeding. " You will get me on a ship right now or you will pay a serious price for disobeying a superior officer and I don't always follow the rules" said the master chief in a cold voice. " Yes sir" said the shivering in pain and of being scared Captain." I'm not even a Captain I'm a Corporal I was put in charge of these life vessels" said the Corporal. Just then the Corporal got a message from earth it was from Commander Howitzer. " We landed on earth with flood and covenant on board and with many covenant ships following us we were gonna board there ship with the Spartans and then have them get off and go to earth but they haven't arrived and they covenant ships are still alive they have found earth" said Commander Howitzer urgently. " Sir the Spartans accidentally landed on the covenant home world with us they can not talk right now they are boarding a ship back to earth as we speak. Just then a large plasma explosion hit the part of the base where the Captain was. People and supplies and machinery flew everywhere. The master chief told everyone not to get on board and that there was a crisis on their hands. Just the 5 Mortar tanks and at least 10 land transporters came into view about 600 yards from us. Then following up but gaining distance from them 25-30 ghosts, A few Banshees, and ground unit hunter were in drop ships.
The master chief told everybody to load up and prepare for battle He and the Spartans moved as many crates and things up in front of them for protection. Then the marines took 15 wart hogs rode them up to the ramparts and slid them backwards so the back was facing the enemy and the marines manned the warthog guns. 8 or 9 Scorpion tanks were rolling up and at least 30 marines grabbed rocket launchers, or sniper rifles. As the enemy came within 150 yards they were not firing maybe because they didn't see us and thought we ran away. Then all at once the thirty marines rolled over and placed the barrel of there rocket launchers in the holes in the crates and the master chief saw a line of 30 or more rockets just flying towards the enemy it looked spectacular some missing some hitting tanks and a few ghosts the master chief saw 2 tanks explode and quite a few ghosts. Still they were firing one more line of the rockets and then the scorpion missiles flew off taking out lots of ghosts this was an incredibly accurate round of missiles. Then the banshees flew over as hundreds of marines fired there shotguns and assault rifles at the cutting them down like stuffed animals with little signs that say blow me up win a prize. The transports were numbered to 2 now and the tanks to 4 the ghosts only at least 18. And the banshees had almost no effect at all. Just then the transports stopped the dro p ships landed and the ghosts assembled in line. The drop ships let out 20 hunters and hundreds of elites. Just then they assembled in line. And the ground started shaking when 20 more transports showed up letting out another hundred elites and 150 jackals. The supply convoys let out enough ghosts for all of them except the hunters. " Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire" yelled master chief as all the warthogs let out thousands of bullets and the tanks firing there missiles at the ships and the front lines of the ghosts. The took out 3 lines of 50 ghosts, and a lot of transports the drop ships flew away when a rocket launcher fired at one and blew it up. A loud cheer of happy marines let out as the numbers dwindled but still seemed endless then they were in firing range the marines were outnumbered 50-1 and running out of ammo. When The Master Chief yelled "Take cover". And every one ducked or jumped out of the way as a intense wave of plasma fire erupted in mid air flying at impossible speed at the marines it chopped through many men sending there disintegrating bodies flying. Then the master chief got up with a rocket launcher and aimed a bit to the side of one ghost and let loose on the trigger the 30 pound explosive flew through the air like a dolphin in water and hit the ground in between 2 ghosts sending them both flying to the opposite side of the explosion side swiping 2 other ghosts each. The charging infantry was chopped down from the burning shrapnel from the explosion. There was a ocean of purplish blood flooding from the many bodies when a tank fired taking out a warthog. When another line of rockets this time only 15 rockets due to the casualties of enemy fire. Cut through the air like a hot knife in butter. Sending the tank flying away like a cat plays with a little stuffed mouse toy. When the elites reached the front line the marines dropped there rockets and pulled out the shotguns and assault rifles. The tanks were kept in long range fire until the enemy artillery was finished and the marines got out to fight. The other Spartans were running through the enemy blowing them away and thrashing them with the butts of their guns. The Master Chief jumped in the back of a fully loaded warthog gun and from the right to the left to right and back to the left fired and the bullets pierced the enemy sending them into each other and onto the ground as pieces of them flew away and blood squirted everywhere. ( this looked like a scene from a really bad movie where the good guy take a gun and just starts firing at these hundreds of enemies mowing them down like a bush and a weedwacker). When a Elite Pounded the back of his helmet. And Knocked him senseless. Just then his best friend Spartan Kevin jumped on the Elite and started pounding his head into the greenish earth with his gun he hit, and hit, and hit, and hit, and hit until its skull was bashed in and the hole its head was buried in was flooding in purplish blood. The master chief got up after the mild knock out and got back in the fight. He wasn't as coordinated as usual but he did alright. At The end of The battle the marines had won but not by much. The numbers of marines were low there confidence never better. The master chief went to check out the grunt that he captured after he thanked his best friend Spartan Kevin for saving his life. He has known Kevin since training to but they had a low key friendship until now. Just then the grunt saw him and had what seemed like a heart attack.
"What happened" asked the master chief? "He died sir. When you hit him it damaged his brain and he just died of severe stress I would assume" said a medic/marine.
" Well we'll just have to find another one then". said the master chief. " Call for back up I want 400 marines down here tell Commander Howitzer this is more important and that they didn't find the location of earth we knocked out there communications System. And I want 25 more warthogs and 10 new tanks and don't forget ammo lots and lots of ammo. That'll be all" said the master chief. "This is gonna be one hell of a week" thought the master chief to himself when he was alone.
