In Space Around Halo
"How long have they just been sitting there!?" Complained the Chief.
"32 hours and 28 minutes exactly." Answered Cortana.
Right after Cortana said that both the Cruiser and Destroyer turned to face the Longsword and they both fired a Plasma Torpedo and a Pulse Laser directly at the Longsword.
The Chief instantly felt a wave of adrenaline wash over him as he reached for the control stick. The Chief grabbed the control stick and pushed the engine to full power and slammed the Longsword left then right barely missing the Pulse Lasers.
"Chief," Came Cortana's worried voice. "Those shots melted half of the armor on the back of the Longsword. We are losing oxygen and heat, we won't last long enough for the transport to pick us up even if we did avoid the Torpedoes."
Right after she finished another ship started coming out of slipspace directly in front of the Longsword. When it was completely out of slipspace Cortana realized it was a UNSC vessel, the
Abraham Lincoln. Upon being fully out of slipspace it fired a salvo of Missiles. Right after the missiles got less then a kilometer away from the Lincoln the plasma torpedoes hit head on.
"NO!" Yelled the Chief.

En Route to Pick up the Chief at Halo
"Sir." Called out Lt. Hamel. "There are two Covenant vessels near the Longsword. And they just fired a salvo! It looks like the Chief avoided the Pulse Lasers, well, most of it anyway we need to take the torpedoes blow to protect the Chief."
"Roger that." Answered Commander Hubbell "Kinyo, prepare to bring us out of slipspace directly in front of the Longsword. Lt. Paton, I want to come out of slipspace hot, warm up two MAC guns 2 heavy rounds for each gun. Rhino, I want a firing solution for missile pods A1 though A10 to hit after the last MAC round."
"Yes sir." Called out the bridge.
They exited slipspace directly in front of the Longsword and fired a salvo of missiles, right after the missiles escaped the tubes both Plasma Torpedoes hit the Abraham Lincoln head on and there was a slight green shimmer around the Lincoln then a wave of heat around the armor near where the Torpedoes hit but other than that there was no damage to the Lincoln. .
"Man, that was close." Sighed Commander Hubbell. "Good thing we had shields or those torpedoes would have decapitated us. Hamel get those shields back up ASAP."
"Aye sir." Responded Lt. Hamel.
There was 4 thumps and the MAC rounds were streaking toward the Covenant ships. The first MAC round hit the Covenant ship dead center knocking their shields offline. Then the second round tore a huge hole in the middle followed by 150 Archer Missiles obliterating each Covenant ship.
"Sir." Reported Hamel. "Both Covenant ships are destroyed."
"Good job people." Commented Commander Hubbell. "Jacobson, get me the Chief on the horn."
There was a few second pause then "Hello?" It was the Chief.
"Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan John 117 I presume." Commander Michael Hubbell said
"Yes sir, how did you get here so fast? We were not expecting you for another 3 days." Replied the Chief.
"I'll tell you the details later why don't we get you aboard the Lincoln first so you don't suffocate or freeze."
"Sounds good to me." Answered the Chief.

Longsword 37 In Space Around Halo
As the Chief piloted the Longsword into the docking station of the Abraham Lincoln he noticed that this ship was oddly shaped but he couldn't figure out how. He guessed that what ever made it look weird had caused the shimmer around the Lincoln and that it must be shields. Finally the UNSC had duplicated the Covenant shields, this may help the Humans win this war.
When the Chief stepped out of the Longsword onto the deck, just like the one he had run along to get on the Longsword less then 2 days ago, he was greeted by hundreds of Marines and Techs.
"Welcome to the Abraham Lincoln sir, it is a pleasure to see you" Said a rough voice. It turned out to belong to a Sergeant Willoms.
"It is a pleasure to be here Sergeant. Any chance you can give a tour before I go to the bridge." Asked the Chief.
"Of course sir, do you want to get started right now?"
"Unless we have something better to do." The Chief replied.
"Works for me." Willoms said to the Chief, then to everybody else "Get back to your posts now."
"Okay Chief, were do you want to go first." Willoms asked the Chief after they got out of the launch bay and in a Warthog.
"Are you sure this thing will fit in the hallway and how about the weapons locker I would like to see if there are any improvements in some weapons." Answered the Chief.
"Yes this baby will fit in the hallways." With saying that he stepped on the accelerator and the Hog shot forward.
While they headed towards the nearest weapons locker Willoms explained how the UNSC had recreated the shields generated by the Covenant ships and put it on this and 4 other ships. He also said how this ship is roughly twice the size of the Autumn and how it has 3 MAC guns capable of firing two heavy rounds in 1 charge and three light.
When they got to the locker there were 5 marines inside the room, instantly Willoms ordered them all out, but the Chief wanted them to stay.
"The reason I chose this locker is because it has a shooting range." Willoms explained
One of the Marines hefted a Rocket Launcher only this Launcher was twice the size of a regular Launcher so the Chief assumed it held 4 rockets instead of the usual 2.
"This is Bertha as us marines call it it is a Rocket Launcher with 4 Tubes. It is capable of firing 2 rockets at the same time. It can also use a seeking Missile so you can bring down Banshees with it much easier."
After finishing, the Marine holding the Launcher fired two missiles at a target 30 meters away completely obliterating the target.
After showing the Chief what it can do to moving targets another Marine brought out a sniper rifle.
"This sniper rifle isn't you're regular rifle it has an extended clip of 8 and it can hit a target twice the distance as the earlier rifle. It can also fire several different rounds. This sniper rifle can fire incerater rounds which can blow a hole the size of your fist right through a target. This round will be very useful to use so you don't have to go around or over the wall you can just shoot through it. It can fire a burner round that literally can start the target on fire from the inside."
After letting the Chief try it out he handed him what looked like a MA5B assault rifle.
"This is an MA6B it is pretty much the same as the MA5B except it can fire 20 rounds a second and has a clip of 80." After Willoms finished he pushed a button and 3 Grunts and 2 Elites popped up. Willoms went full-auto on them and chopped them to pieces.
"Pretty good shooting wasn't it?" Willoms asked.
"Yes, it was." The Chief replied dryly.
"Well, that pretty much is it for weapons, what do you say we go look at the new vehicles?" Willoms asked.
"That sounds good." Answered the Chief.
With that they both hopped into the Warthog. On the trip to the vehicle hangar the Chief took a 5 minute catnap to keep him awake. He woke up with Willoms shaking him and saying htat they were there they were in a large hanger with Pelicans and Longswords trying to land.
"This is the Wolf it is a bigger and better scorpion." Explained Willoms "It has two barrels so you can fire one barrel, then the other while one reloads. It also has two autocannons instead of one like the scorpion. So it is twice as good, the only problem is that it is a little slower, but other than that it is better."
"This is the Commander speaking, send the master Chief to the Bridge immediately." Came blaring over the intercom.
"But sir." Argued Willoms. "I haven't showed the Chief all the new vehicles."
"On the double crewman."
"Yes sir, the skipper seems pretty jumpy. We had better get moving." Willoms said.
The Chief and Willoms hopped in the Hog and got to the bridge in a few minutes. On the drive the Chief remembered how that had happened on the Autumn he hoped that it wouldn't end the same way it did last time.
