Nanamee was only born a few weeks ago, but he already knew he would have a short time with his mother before he would be taken into the Covenant Army. He also knew that his life a long with almost all of the other young grunts in his village would be extremely short.If you were lucky, you might last a year. After a few months with his mother he would be taken to a month long traing where more grunts would probably die. He heard that they would make you fight elites, most grunts dying...the ones that survived would of course go to the spec ops, and the ones who didnt have to fight anything would be the lower ranking officers. He knew the elites would kill anyone including grunts and jackals if they got annoyed. He was scared.Very scared.
A few months later...
It was the day he feared more than his death...the day he had to leave his mother, he thought about hiding, but when the elites walked off of those dropships to collect the grunts abd found one hiding, they killed his mother and then him. He ran straight for the dropship stopping only to look back at his mother knowing he would never see her again.After he got onto the dropship, he started crying a long with other grunts. When they lifted off the elites said "All hail prophets". Everyone said that except for two. First they shot their fingers and hands off, then opened the dropships doors, stuck a plasma grenade to them and threw them out. BOMK!BOMK!.The grunts exploded.
2 hours later...
They stopped to pick up jackals and Nanamee turned to the grunt next to him and said "Wow they are ugly". The grunt said "Yep. Hey, whats your name?" and Nanamme said "Nanamee". The other grunt said "Mines YipYer".
At the training station...
The elites brought the jackals and grunts to a small room and gave them plasma pistols.Then they said "Shoot at the hunter".He thought what hunter?CUNK!An elavator came down and a hunter stepped off. It had its cannon charged and took out 2 grunts and 8 jackals.The grunts and jackals soon found out only some of the plasma pistols had batteries.Luckily Nanamee and YipYaps did. They both charged them up and came right around and shot the hunter in its back. It fell over and crushed 2 jackals and 1 grunt. 18 jackals and 25 grunts had died.Nanamee and YipYap were lucky.
Every morning they would have to wake up at 4 o'clock and do pistol training, then lunch and then plasma grenade and live fire training.Then sleep.Once every three days they would get there methane tanks refilled.Once and a while they would do training missions with dropships. He actually thought it was sorta fun."ATENTION ATENTION WE ARE BEING RESTATIONED TO HALO...OUT" an elite said "REPORT TO DROPSHIPS". He knew that was bad. He also knew the humans knew where halo was. Many Covenant were goin to die.
At halo...
THUNK.The dropship hit."GO GO GO" the elites said.they stepped out and 1 elite ans 3 grunts were killed. The remaining elites yelled "Jackals...Formation!!". The jackals lined up with their shields at front and marched forward. The elites crouched and and hid behind the sheilds.Some jackals were overwhelmed with firepower and their shields "left" and they were killed."Medic" someone yelled and Nanamee ran over to help the elite and patched up his wounds, but it was to late. He took the elites needler and used it. He blew up two marines and injured one."OH CRAP" a grunt yelled "The armored human!" Grunts,Elites,and Jackals started going down as the human started sniping. Some aliens took cover behind a rock and luckily an elite had a radio. He called for two pairs of hunters and 15 brutes to take of them. The dropship was there in no time. The plasma gun on the dropship took out a few marines, and the hunters came out withe their guns charged and took out 13 marines. Nanamee heard the chirp of a human sniper rifle. 3 hunters down and 9 brutes down already. The human was good.After the team of hunters and brutes were dead the elite called for an evac. The dropship was there and they made a run for it. the jackals were there shields.An elite went down a long with three grunts and one jackal.Nanamee and YipYer made it safely though. Same with a few jackals and grunts. He took a look at the casualty chart as they took of. 26 humans died,9 jackals,7 elites, and 19 grunts.It was a horrible lose.

Through the eyes of cannon fodder: Part 2

After the tough battle on halo, they didnt have another for a long time...until they discovered earth.It was a massive raid. 20 covenant ships were there to drop off thousands of dropships.When Nanamee's dropship hit the humans were the ones who took casualties.The plasma gun on the transport took out about ten humans, and only 2 grunts were killed in the landing.Each dropship had a pair of hunters, 5 brutes, 20 grunts, 10 elites, and a phantom. An elite drove the phantom, a long with Nanamee as the gunner and YipYer as the passenger.There were sounds of BR and plasma rifles as they went off constantly and there was always someone screaming. Nanamee had already killed seven. They speed a long the road and ran over one marine. Nanamee decapitated one and split the other in half.YipYer was throwing greanades everywhere and one stuck to a marine in a pack of about nine.BOMPH!All nine died.The humans were taking severe casualties. The phantom almost crashed into a jeep as it turned. They were lucky that time but not the next.Nanamee took out the gunner and the driver for one of the jeeps and shot the passenger of the other jeeps leg off. The gunner of the second jeep shot the phantom 3 times with the RL before it exploded. It tore a very wide hole in the elites stomach, and sent YipYer and Nanamee flying.They both landed safely, but were caught in a major battle with the special armored soldier and about twelve other marines.The covenant were now the ones taking casualties. Nanamee looked at his data pad to seee the actual number. 38 brutes, 14 hunters, 47 elites, 123 jackals,148 grunts and going up almost 5 per minute. He wondered if the humans were taking that many casualties.He decided not to hang around the battle to long, so he wondered off. He felt something touch him and the next thing he knew he was sitting in the human base with 4 marine guards.Of course he had no weapons.He saw more covenant soldiers, mostly grunts.
A high ranking officer came in.Or it least he looked like one. He said "Hello my name is Stokes". The grunt said "Yes Soggezzz. My highnezz pleaz dont hurt meeee!"."Don't worry we just need information, tell us where your base is"."OK...it is near a big rood goin into tunelll with signzz big..."."Ok thank you" said Stokes.He left, and Nanomee had an idea.When it got dark he would get as many covenant as he could and sneak around to their armory and form a resistance.
At night...
Nanamee managed to get six grunts and one elite and sneak to the armory. All the grunts got one smg each and the elite got a sniper rifle and BR. The covenat were quite fascinated by the scope and it took them a while to figure out that it magnifyed, so the elite and grunts went up to the top of a building. The elite started shooting and took out 5 marines with 4 bullets, one 2 for 1.It took the marines 6 deaths to figure out where he was, it could have been 10 or 12, but it took the elite a while to reload. After that they called for 10 dropships of search and destroy teams (15 Active-Camo Commando Elites in each dropship) to their coordinates to infiltrate the base. The dropships had landed in no time and the elite was watching through his "close looker" as the elite called it. The commando elites were armed with plasma rifles, 6 plasma grenades, and a plasma knife. They came behind marines and slit there throats until one marine noticed and started firing randomly, which hit an elite's camo device and all the elites had to open fire. One elite was decapitated by a pistol round and two marines were shot in half. The elite up in the building was also firing. Getting head shot after head shot, blood shooting from there head like a water fountain. One elite who was not firing was shot by the sniper elite accidentaly.In a matter of ten minutes the base was theres. There were just a few humans left that put up a fight. One human was killed for every 2 elites. It was there biggest loss of commando elites ever in the history of the Covenant.The sniper elite took out the rest of the humans. The Covenant that escaped went down to salvage the human ammo. The elite loved the "close looker" so he didnt swap it for anything. One small batlle on Earth won...many more to fight.
