Hansley woke up, and had a headache. He walked to the infirmary, and grabbed a couple aspirin. He filled a glass with water, and swallowed the pills. He drank the water, and went back to his cot. He laid down for 30 minutes. He couldn't get back to sleep. So he got up again, and got dressed. He put on a sweatshirt, and sweatpants. He put on his fingerless gloves, and proceeded to the gym. He hooked up a punching bag, and beat it for 3 hours straight. When he was done, he headed for the showers. He undressed, grabbed a bar of soap, and moved on to the showers. He turned it on, and showered for 10 minutes. He then went back to the barracks, and dressed in his uniform. Just when he finished, the intercom screeched, " Hansley to my office, I reapeat Hansley to my office, Now!" He proceeded to the Sergeants office. He came up to his door, and the guards stated, " What's your business?" He told them, and they opened the door. He walked in and didn't notice the Sergeant right away. " Ah, Hansley. Sit down." Right away, Hansley didn't enjoy the enviroment. He was closed in with the Sergeant, and was sure the Sarge was majorly pissed off.
" Now, Hansley," the Sarge screamed. " I heard you put up quite a fight against the Covenant at Ground Barrier, good job. Now, I called you here for two reasons. The first is that you are getting promoted to Lieutenant." Hansley smiled. He was happy about getting promoted, finally it was happening for him. " Now, don't get too happy. The second is, your going into battle again. Now go get ready, you're shipping off in 15. Leave... Now!" Hansley suddnely frowned, he had to go into battle again. He hated battle. His last one, he was almost killed. He left fast, because the Sarge was getting mad. He went to the armory, and put on his armor. He grabbed two frag grenades, and an assualt rifle. He was walking down the hall, when the intercom screeched for him again. it was the Sarge telling him to get back to his office. Hansley walked down to the Sarge's office, again. He walked up to the door, and the guards asked him his business. He told them, and was once again ushered into the room. " I'm sorry. I forgot to give you your new suit of armor. It's three times as powerful as your original, and can carry more weapons and ammo too. Here it is," the Sarge handed him the suit, and Hansley smiled. He suddenly realized why he was given the suit. he got up, gave the Sarge the finger, and walked out. He put the new suit on in the barracks, grabbed a M6D and more ammo for his AR, and walked to the docking board. He jumped into the back of the Pelican, and it flew off into battle.

Gagalaw, the Grunt was patrolling the contol room. He walked along with his fellow comrade, Jaelas who was also a Grunt. They suddenly heard the sound of a loud motor. A Human ship lowered, and dropped 3 dozen marines. He screamed for Elites, or Jackals. He started to run away, when there was a big explosion that blew him 15 meters away. He lay there in pain, weeping, and barely breathing. He gathered enough energy to turn around, so he was lying on his back. He heard a motor, that sounded like a machine the Humans called a "Warthog." He heard it getting closer, and turned his head just in time to see the wheel heading for his head. He exhaled, and the Warthog thumped as the wheel crushed the Grunt's skull, and splattered brains everywhere.

Jaelas witnessed the death of his friend Gagalaw from inside the Fortress. He knew Gawgalaw well, and didn't appreciate him being killed. He was the only Grunt left, the Humans had killed the rest of his kind. He still had 3 Jackals and 1 Elite in the Fortress. He was angered, and clenched his fists. He pulled out his Plasma Pistol, but the lone Elite put it down. " No Jaelas. I know you're angry, and frustrated, but if you would have shot we to would have also been killed. Put the weapon away, Now!" Jaelas lowered his weapon, and started to weep. " But Master," a Jackal said as he raised his weapon, " we could kill them. I'm sure of it." "No, you will get us all killed. Now, if you don't lower your weapon, I will be forced to kill you myself." The Jackal didn't listen and raised it higher. Jaelas, still weeping, heard the sound of the Jackal cry. He grimaced, as blue, green goo covered him. " Any other non- followers?" Everyone shook their heads no. " Good, now let's move."
They moved out of the Fortress and into the Control Room, steeping over the dead, crushed body of Gawgalaw. Jaelas still weeping, and hardly moving. He couldn't keep up with the rest, so the Elite carried him. They moved into the control room, and sat down. " Now, everyone must listen to me," the Elite said, " we must kill the Humans, which you already know. I have a plan, but it will end in the death of one of us. Do I have a volunteer?" " Master why not you?" The Elite raised his weapon and fired until there was noting left of the stupid Jackal. " Now, any volunteers?" The last Jackal raised his hand. "Okay. Here's the plan. The volunteer will head back to the Fortress. When he enters we will know because of the security cams set up everywhere. He will then set all the grenades he has on the ground, except for one. He will then fire his weapon, until the Humans enter, which then he will throw the grenade at the rest of them, creating a great explosion, and killing the Humans. Genius, I know." Jaelas was satified with the plan, and was happy that the Humans would soon be dead.

Hansley was walking around looking for Covenant, when he heard the sound of Plasma fire. He headed toward it, with his group of marines following close behind. He entered the place where the Plasma fire seemed to be coming from, and saw a Jackal throw a grenade, on a pile of grenades. He ran back, but his marines entered the room. " Nooo," he screamed, but it was too late. The building blew up, throwing body parts, blood, and guts everywhere. He was blown onto his back, and suddenly felt tons of pressure on his leg. he looked up, and saw an Elite standing on his leg. The Elite lifted his weapon, and dropped it on his face, knocking Hansley out.
He woke up later, in alot of pain. It seemed as if the Covenant were torturing him. " Why are you doing this to me? You guys never keep any prisoners." He felt Plasma burns on his chest, and winced in pain. He felt something up against his leg, and reached for it. It was his Pistol, and he grabbed it. He shot it once to see if it was working, and then the Elite charged into the room, knocking him over. He turned his head and saw what looked like a Plasma Sword. he grabbed it and turned it on. The Elite dug around in it's armor, and finally pulled out a Plasma Sword, also. They battled. Hansley jumped up, and came down on the Elite, chopping of the Elites left hand. It screamed in pain, and continued to fight. The Elite ducked down, and swung the Sword, chopping off Hansley's foot. Hansley fell in pain. He swung the Sword at the Elites knees, chopping both of it's legs off at the knees. The Elite fell down, blood squirting out of it's knubby legs. Hansley got up on his knees, lifted the Plasma Sword, and sliced it through the air, cutting the Elite in two. The Elite's chest dropped, and never rose again. Hansley killed the Elite, but then suddenly felt Plasma hit his left arm, blowing it off. He pulled out his Pistol, and fired it around in the shadows. Nothing. He suddenly saw something move to his right turned there, and fired three times. He heard the Grunt cry and fall to floor dead. Hansley felt himself slowly dying, and radioed in for evac. 5 minutes later, the Pelican landed near him, picked him up, and headed for the Hospital. Hansley laughed, as he died. He suddenly felt better, and knew he was going to die. he closed his eyes, and saw the white tunnel. " No, we lost him," the doctor cried as the heart moniter flatlined. " Give me the defibbulators." The doctor rubbed them together, and put them on Hansley's chest, " Clear!" Hansley's nerves clenched, and his chest raised. 10 minutes later, Hansley was revived, and finally was in the Hospital.
The End
Sorry if it was messed up!
