The relentless Covenant race is invading the outer reach.
The Humans interstellar empire has begun to be breached. Mankind is failing over, Covanant wish us all extinct.
To protect the Human race, is the bright ones instinct. Dr. Halsley's the creator, of the Spartan II Project.
Through experience, toil and pain, She now incorporates logic. Abducted as a child and forced away from home,
John the future protector trained, equipped and known. Spartans are truly fearsome, augmented, trained and ready.
Including their brutality; they're quiet, professional and deadly. As Spartans train and fight, they gain respected prominence.
Soon they will fight Covenant, to achieve total dominance. Though trained and scarred, and immortal they so seem.
They are yet still Humans, held so high in esteem. The Covenant rages on, glassing planet and stone.
Exterminating billions of people, the end is now known. The augmentation process begins, survival is victory they say.
To some the tests prove fatal and half the Spartans pass away. Yet where there are dead, survivors are found alone.
35 godlike Spartans left, the battlefield is their home. John the Master Chief, has fought for truth and light.
He's been victorious always, Covenant falls under his might. The Covanant advances stronger, humans try to hold their stance,
Fighting such intelligence and strength our race doesnt stand a chance Human technology breaks through, and Moljnir Armor is revealed.
The Plates and Shield boost all things, no longer can wait concealed. Artificial Intelligences arrive, Cortana is one for thought,
Improving mission parameters, for Spartan 117 is truly sought. The Spartans travel, into the violent bloody fray.
They're equipped, trained and ready, it's time for them to play. Assault rifles open up piercing bullets rip through the air,
Covenant Elites try to fight them, now they will see despair. Covanant air support arrives, known as Banshees to us.
Searing bolts, Plasma torpedoes, they're great technology we lust. A great battle is raging on, planet Sigma Octanus 4.
The Spartans crave alien blood, to fight like never before. As more warthogs fire away, and pelicans continue to deploy,
Most UNSC Vehicles are designed, to search and destroy. As predicted on the ship, thousands of defenders are dead.
So Spartans salvage ammo, rockets, explosives and lead. On reconnaissance missions, Spartans avoid being seen.
They enter into the city, avoiding all alien beings. Grenades are thrown, rockets soar through the air.
Explosions left and right, Spartans put up increasing dares. The Spartans will dominate the land on their own.
Being on a large ship, it's not their beloved home. The Pillar of Autumn's hero, Is the great Captain Keys.
Fighting innumerable Covanant, victorious among vast seas. Archer missile pods flare out, and nuclear warheads explode.
The ships vast architecture, can withstand incredible load. Space seems to stand still, after Sigma Octanus 4.
Are the Covanant regrouping? I've never seen this before. Out in the Eridani system, planet Reach just cannot be beat.
With vast shipyards and weaponry, it is the military's powerful seat. The Covanant enters system, over 300 ships in all,
With the UNSC's power combined, surly the system won't fall. Battlecruisers and Carriers, manned with loyal daughters and sons.
Pillar of Autumn and the Iroquois, 20 catastrophic orbital guns. Plasma torpedoes flare space, streaks turn night to day.
Orbital cannons fire projectiles, into the gigantic Covanant fray. The battle becomes intense, as hulls break apart in space.
Reach holds valuable information, it reveals earth's galactic place. The Spartans have fought bravely, who have never known defeat.
They continue to slaughter the enemy, and will never possibly retreat. Millions are martyred and Covenant enters precious lands.
Trying to protect the information, from falling into their hands. Lotus anti-tank mines, are placed in strategic places.
Lethal shrapnel and force, ripping away at Covanant faces. Planetary invasion intensifies, and Spartans jump into form,
Against the infinite Covanant, even Spartans perish from the swarm. Disturbingly the battle above has left no ship alive.
Except for the one lone vessel, Captain Keys has survived. The Spartans always knew that winning wasn't everything.
The mission was still successful, Covenant still didn't know the thing. The thing that's most valuable, Spartans sacrificed for information.
That the entire Covenant race, still doesn't know earth's location. Reach has lost the battle, with the destroyed UNSC's fleet.
With only one Spartan survivor, Master Chief now knows defeat. The ship accelerates out-system, Chief salutes like never before.
Bitter vengeance must take place; he will win this war.
The End
