The Slaughter of the 105th Drop Jet
Platoon
Jericho VII used to be such a magnificent planet with 4 moons in the sky. It was breathtaking till the Covenant came with all their drop ships and started to obliterate every human, tree, and anything they could find but it was our job to give them lead and get whatever supplies off the planet before they glassed it to hell. This is our story. We were the 105th Drop Jet platoon just ready to leap off from any drop ship.
" Ok men we'll drop in find supplies and form fire squads. Am I clear, men?" Everyone in the 3 drop ships that held 300 troops all at the same time shouted " Sir, yes, sir." The large drop ships came down over 7 feet in the air and started to unload all the troops and Wart Hog's. They all got ready with their AR's, Jack Hammers, and Shot Guns. They were all ready to move out until 3 grunts came into view. Everyone in the front aimed their weapons on them. Some of the troops thought why would 3 grunts be out here alone? Then 2,000 grunts came from behind the marines. A young Private named " Pvt. Johnson" asked " Wtf start shooting". All of the sudden they opened fire and they stretched out. A group of 4 marines were behind a piece of wreckage but a plasma grenade flew in the air and landed on one of the marines. The grenade exploded and the piece of wreckage was painted with blood and a lone marine with his side blown open was still firing his weapon till he lost too much blood and died a slow death.
The rocket jockeys climbed a hill and started to open fire on the grunts. 5 grunts with needler's opened fire on them. A rocket jockey got one in his face. Before it exploded he said " Hey is this all it does?" His face then blew up in front of his fellow marines. 20 rocket jockeys went up there but after the needler fire fight there was now 11 and 4 of them were wounded. More grunts came when the marines thought they had won. Pvt. Johnson knew they were going to die so he got in a Wart Hog with a gunner in the back along with 2 wounded men.
The rest of the men who could still stand were still putting up a fight till 2 Hunters rammed into them and killed most of them. The wounded who were missing legs and arms climbed to a hill and took shelter there. There were about 2 healthy young men who could still stand, 3 Sgt's, 2 nearly dead Privates who wouldn't make it.
The Covenant searched the blood-spattered battle field for wounded and supplies. Turns out there were about 7 marines wounded on the combat zone but then were lined up and were massacred by the grunts. The marines hiding up on the hill watched the whole thing.
The 2 young troops who could still stand went over to the Privates and killed them so they could get rid of the pain. The 3 Sgt's were sitting around talking till an Elite found them and tired to kill them. One the Sgt got up but his leg was shot off and the blood sprayed as the Sgt fell over. " Ahhhhh my leg oh my god I'm going to die." The Elite quickly killed the other Sgt's by shooting them in the face and watch the blood leak quickly. The Elite came over to the surviving Sgt and laughed until AR 5.25 piercing rounds entered the Elites side and the blue blood sprayed the shocked Sgt's face.
" Sean Wegner and Tyler Kazy reporting for duty sir!" said the 2 other surviving marines shouted. They picked up the Sgt and put him in the passenger's seat of the Wart Hog they have been working on. Wegner got in the drivers seat and Kazy got in the gunner seat in the back. Wegner looked to the nameless Sgt and said " Sir we came into contact with the other 5 surviving marines." " Good job now lets go meet up with them."
They drove till they found them with some of those Spartans. One of the Spartans talked to the other one and then finally said " We got a Pelican coming to pick you 105th Drop Jet Platoon." " Wait were all that's left?" The Spartan was about to speak up but a lone grunt threw a plasma on the Wart Hog which Johnson was just at. The gunner and the 2 wounded tired to get out but it exploded and killed everyone inside died. Everyone opened up on the grunt till it had no more blood to spill. " Now you're the only ones left". The Pelican came and took off. The surviving marines were all thinking the same thing. How did the grunts find out where they landed? When they flew over the theatre of war they could see all the grunts who killed their team-mates.
The slaughter of the 105th Drop Jet Platoon took the lives of 296 men but for the Covenant they lost over 1,000 of their own. The name-less Sgt died 4 days after the battle, Kazy was killed on the fall of Reach, Wegner was killed on Halo, and the brave Private Johnson is now a Sgt and still alive. He is also know to be the only human to survive the flood and is know to be the last know marine to see Reach.
Up on one of the highest hill's were 29 snipers. One of them said " They forgot about us. Were going to die." The snipers looked around until one said " Lets take down as many Covenant as we can then!" All the snipers trained their aim on the Covenant who still remained on the front line. The Covenant remained confused for awhile but they found them and had a team of Elites run up the hill. The Elites all carried plasma swords. The snipers didn't see the 5 gold Elite team till one of their own was stabbed in the side. They all opened fire they got 2 but the other 3 swept to the side and chopped off some of the snipers heads. Bam 2 Elites go down but the other kills 3 snipers before he goes down. They were almost of ammo but they still kept of firing. The 18 snipers still alive killed the rest of the Covenant on the combat zone and just waited to be glassed. They all looked at each other in one big circle. Their eyes starring at each other. One of the younger snipers got up and started to walk away. " hey where do you think your going?" " I'm getting off this planet!" They all followed him to find some type of ship to get off.
They came across a Covenant drop ship. The pilot was doing something else because he didn't see all 18 men come on to his ship. The one sniper named " Frank" came behind the Elite pilot then he broke the Elites neck. Everyone got into a Covenant seat and the oldest sniper who used to be a pilot flew the ship into orbit. They came across the RESOLUTE. Everyone aboard the ship was shocked that they made it. They went up to Private Johnson, Wegner, Kazy, and the name-less Sgt. One of the snipers asked hey where's everyone else? The Privates and the Sgt turned to him and said " Were all that's left."
The 18 snipers were regrouped in a new platoon but sadly they went on a mission on Sigma Octanus IV and 13 of them were killed. The rest were all wounded by Hunters. The 5 of that survived all have plasma burns and scratches. The 5 survivors went to a new platoon that was slaughtered on Reach.
