1532 September 3/ UNSC ship Lother
Captain Donald Elder ran down the ramp to the bridge. He could hear his boots stoop on the ground. The bridge was dead silence.
"Any word or sign that anyone escaped from Valhalla before the Covenant Ship destroyed it?" the captain asked the crew.
"No word." They said.
"DAMNIT!" he yelled.
"Are you okay dad?" asked his daughter Samantha Lensley asked. "I mean sir." She corrected herself.
"No... I guess I have to tell you anyway. Umm your bother Kyle was sent to alpha base."
"What!" she yelled.
"Sir there are six Longsword approaching us from the front. There are the ones the Admiral used to get to Valhalla" said a marine who was watching the monitors.
"Come on lets see if your brother is there."
They ran straight to the docking bay.
They made it just in time as the crew of the Longsword were just getting out.
"Look! It's Kyle!" the captain said. While seeing him get off a Longsword with five other marines.
"Kyle!" she yelled.
"Hey dad, Sam." He yelled back then he collapsed.
Then medics rushed toward him.
"Are you OK?"
"Yes"
Then a medic rushed in between them. "I need a gurney over here!" the medic yelled. "Don't worry your son will be okay." Then they took him to the medlab.
"Lieutenant Jackson!"
"Yes Sir!" he replied.
"How is everyone from the Longsword?"
"They are okay except for ten of them including your son Sir! Sir the marines have an interesting story. I will have it ready for you later."
"Okay I will be waiting for the report. I will be walking somewhere in the ship."
Then he slowly walked to the medlab. He looked around and felt that something was wrong. Then a marine ran after him.
"SIR!"
"Yes private."
"I have the report and I suggest that you read it immediately."
"Okay I will. Private?"
"Yes sir."
"Go find Lieutenant Jackson and tell him to inform me every ten minutes of Kyle's condition. I will be in my private quarters."
Then the private gave the disk that had the report to the Captain.
The Captain hurried and ran to his quarters and imputed the disk.
(REPORT)
2300 September 14/ALPHA BASE
'Kyle Elders version'
It all started in the middle of a covenant attack. We were supposed to get reinforcements an hour ago but I think they got shot down.
I was out side an hour before they came. We were losing and ten more Covenant dropships appeared over the horizon.
"Major what are we supposed to do?" I yelled.
"FALL BACK EVERYONE FALL BACK INTO THE BASE!" He yelled.
Everyone quickly ran into the base and shut the titanium door.
"This won't hold them for long! Get the shotguns rocket launchers and heavy machine guns." The major ordered.
"Quiet everyone I hear something out side." I yelled.
"Private are the security monitors working?" the major whispered.
"We only have sound so listen." He replied.
"They are everywhere!" the grunts were yelling.
"Get the prophet and get out of here!" the leader of the Elites was yelling.
"They are to many of them we are gonna DIE!" the grunts said back.
"MAJOR I have the picture back on and YOU should see this!" he yelled.
Everyone quickly gathered around the monitors and saw these creature coming out of a canyon.
"Private can you get me a picture of what ever is in that canyon?"
"Yes sir."
Then a picture of the canyon appeared. In it is a piece of an artificial ring world.
"What is that?" I asked.
"I don't know." The tech responded.
BANG!
"What was that?" the marines were asking.
"I don't know." The major answered.
"Sir they are trying to get in!" the tech monitoring the monitors said.
"Everyone get prepared!" he ordered,
Then there was a crawling sound in the base.
I looked around but saw nothing.
"Hey lieutenant are you okay?" asked the private.
"Yes I just thought I heard something."
Then there was gunshots coming from the back.
"What is going on back there? Elder check it out." he ordered me.
I slowly walk into the back of the base. Since everyone was in the front I was alone.
I was so nervous that I could hear my foots steps hit the cold hard metal. Suddenly there was the noise I heard before. I walked to the Major's quarters to check it out. I had my pistol in the air ready to fire at a moments notice. Then I looked in there and didn't see anything.
"Lieutenant where was the gunshots from?" the major ask over the radio.
"I don't know. Is anyone missing over there?"
"I will check hold on........................................yes there is one marine missing he was last saw guarding the back door. Don't worry I don't think the creatures could have gotten in though there. It was sealed of after an avalanche two years ago."
Then there was explosion in the back where the door was.
"Hurry Elder check it out!" he yelled.
I ran and by the time I got half way there the creatures were pouring out.
"Multiple enemies over in the back here!" I yelled over the radio.
"Coming!" the major said. "Oh and........"There was a big explosion in the front.
"Elder come to the front they all have focused in the back hurry!"
I quickly ran through the hallway and went straight through the front door. Everyone got a considerable lead in front of the creatures and me. I quickly ran straight for them and so was the creatures. I quickly though four grenades straight in the air and I knew that by the time they explode half of the creatures in the front will be dead. It worked but there was more coming straight for me luckily I caught up with the marines and with a combination of blasts the whole front line of the things were gone. I ran after and caught up with the major.
"Where are we heading?" I asked.
"Straight through to Beta base."
"How do you know it isn't overrun."
"Easy. I called." She said.
"How are we gonna get through the canyon its a box canyon after all and we better not have to climb."
"That is why I bought heavy explosives and made them go a head in the warthogs. With all those explosives they barely go twenty miles an hour."
Then there was marines yelling in front of us.
"What is it?"
"There are some of those creatures in front of us. We took care of them but they got ten marines there is only five of us left we are approaching the structure........................................"
The radio went dead silence. The me and the major got over the hill and saw the structure.
It was tall and had a destroyed Covenant ship on it.
"Captain! There is a Covenant Ship in front of us please hurry." Said a marine.
