Greg was a child on the colony in the colony of Scillica it was a world that the Covenant had missed on the outer part of the inner colonies. There was only one path left open to the rest of Earths children and the gap was rapidly closing due to solar drift and millitary checkpoints that were glassed. The city that he lived in was considered independent from the main colony even though they were connected by glass domes and the dungeon like catacombs under the surface. As he walked back from school he glanced at the crystal mines and remebered his dads lessons on vthe varios types of crystals found there this crystal called a chris can store many times more information then the standard memory crystals currently we only sell these to the UNSC so they can make larger and more complex AIs this is called a rune Its clear with a tint of red its stronger then 3 meters of titanium a this one small peice is the future to armor and meele weapons while he wasnt paying attention the shadow of a bully loomed over Greg when suddenly he was lifted by the bully he said "Moe let go of me" Moe and his friends just laffed and moe said "make pipsqueak" he suddenly felt a years worth of anger agaist Moe well up in he heart and suddenly his vision faded red but before he lost control of his senses he heard screaming and a voice that sounded like his own laughing."IT BURNS" and he then faded out.

Years later
Ikna'inmakee laughed "how could they have hidden this world from us for so long" grunts ran around in the background helping the engineers repair the damage the infidels had dared inflict on the vessels that were blessed by the divine covenant with the prophets and the gods. "ASSEMBLE THE FLEETS"

On Scillica
He was now 16 and his friends were with him 10 years after that one day. His Best Friend David said "hey man I think your dad has somthin special today" I replied "of course today Im 16. What would you expect." before David could reply his Dad showed up. His dad had benn trainng him in all possible means of combat knife, swords, staffs, and Guns and he was far ahead of his classes. Today he was finished with his traning. His dad Gave him crystal knives that were unlike anything he had seen.They glowed with a light that was pure. Before he could say anythig plasma fell from the sky and the alarms sounded. "The covenant are attacking we are about to die. please be calm as you run panicking for the shelters." Dropships fell from the sky as if it were raining the thick glass domes that were supposed to protect them from plasma were destroyed instantly. A dropship landed on the weak roof planning to deystoy it and covenant elites were grav lifted into the living room. "Run Ill hold em Off" his dad yelled as he picked up a kithchen knife. As the teens and the rest off the adults left a young elite watched from the roof as the man slaughtered the grunts and jackals before they could shoot.
____________________________________________________________
THe elite was young and unnamed and watched as the infidel killed one of his own kind. The unnamed one jumped down after telling the grunts under his command not to interfere. The elite said to the infidel "You fight well and I am glad you are here killing you shall give me a name worthy of my skill." "Only if I let you kill me and I wont" the infidel dared reply. He thought how dare he speak to me the Infidel shall pay for marking me with his shame. THe unnamed one charged with his bare claws and grabbed the infidels knife and kneck. He felt so unclean touching the filths weapon. as the infidel died he rembered the words he spoke the others and the love he fely for the young one. "And i will also enjoy the honor of your families blood" and he killed the infidel.

Greg saw the elite and heard what he had said. I was stunned at the elite merciless kill. My friends told me to go and as we moved one of the grunts saw us. "Infidel Master look. Let me kill him." The teens ran and past the broken streets of their youth. They sprinted into the area their families waited only to find that only 1 person was left Greg's mom. The phantom had slaughtered the rest. Then the elite that had killed his father appeared and drove his swoed through his mother. "only one left and the honor of your blood will be mine." They ran till they were sure they had outrun that ghost of an elite. I had to be dragged out of the room enduring the elites taunts.
They entered a large hole in the side of an appartment building. Up ahead the saw the flashes of fire that foretold of other humans battling the covenant. "Go help them you probably could do better jobs then those marines" I said with a voice full of the anguish and anger the made arguments sound futile. My friends told me not to go looking for that one elite and left Davind turned around and nodded his respect.
I was in a tunnel like area in that hole and I was one of the areas that had a "roof" with pipes sticking out from the patches of roof. 2 or 3 would slip right out if I pulled on them. I crouched and waited for an enemy bastard to show his ugly face. I was instantly pleased as a gold elite came around the corner and into the hole through the hotel with hi plasma sword drawn. the Elite said "You will make a great addition to my count." He jumped forward at me and I side steped as his sword hit a loose block I swept my foot through his and he lost his footing and fell to the ground. My other foot met him halfway down in the gut. He jumped up in time to miss my stomp to the back of his head and as I overextended his plasma shone through the space my pelvis had just vacated when I jumped and kicked for his face. I ducked his next swing for my head and lashed out at his nonexistent groin. I jumped up again as he swung but he halted it before it passed my center and pointed the blande up expecting me to fall on it. I seemed to hover there he looked up as I reached forward with one hand for a loose pipe. I had grabbed a secure pipe and smashed my new weapon on his head. I then swung forward and landed squarley on his stomach. His shields drained. I picked up a rock and hammered the pipe into his cracked helmet. Just then I remebered the crystal kives in my pack. I had them with me the whole time.

The unnamed one wathched this happen. he would make a worthy opponent. I shall let him grow into a more honorable target before killing him he thought.
