Alpha Omega System, Aboard UNSC Frigate Allegiance in
geosynchronous orbit over Theta Omicron
Touya 035 strode down the busy hallways of the Frigate Allegiance. Among the best in the UNSC, the Spartan-II's were the greatest warriors the world had ever seen. Touya commanded some of the best Spartans. They were outfitted with black Mark V MJOLNIR armor for Stealth Ops. He and the rest of his team were still resting after the battle for Reach. His team had barely made it out in a Pelican dropship after the shit hit the fan during the planetside mission on Reach. Some didn't. The battle for Reach had been so costly. For both the UNSC and the Spartans. On Reach Touya alone had lost three Spartans. Touya wondered if any of the other Spartans had made it. Touya had the strangest feeling that their leader, Master Chief John-117 was still alive. Touya was in such deep thought that he walked into a squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, or "Helljumpers" as they liked to be called.
"Hey watch where your walkin' ya freak!" A young ODST yelled.
"What can't cha do something without being told?" Another ODST said with a laugh.
"Swanson, Davidson shut the hell up! Don't you know who that is? Well, I'll tell ya who that is! That is CPO first class Spartan 035. Not only is he a commanding officer, he has more confirmed kills than all of third battalion put together! A battle hardened lieutenant stated.
"What? Oh, well umm we should get going. Watch where you are walking sir." The commander said with a scared look on his face.
Touya frowned under his faceplate. Everyone he met seemed to either be afraid of him and his record or hate him. A few minutes after the encounter, Touya reached the bridge.
"State your name, rank and purpose." A young marine calmly stated.
"Spartan 035, CPO first class reporting as instructed." Touya replied with a salute.
"Spartan 035, the Admiral has been waiting for you."
Touya strode over to the command chair and was quickly greeted by an average sized man with piercing black eyes and brown hair with a streak of gray hair visible along the sideburns. The man also was fit but not very heavily built.
"Ah, Spartan 035, how is your team feeling? That was one hell of a fight."
"My team and I are ready, willing and able for any mission."
"That's good to hear. Oh, I heard that one of your team members left the med bay against the doctor's orders."
"Yes. One of my team members did leave but he is tough and he can take the pain."
"I read a report that said they had suffered third degree burns to their right arm from the hand up to the right side of their neck though. According to the doctor, that is enough to leave even a Spartan in the med bay for two weeks."
"Sir, as I recently stated he can take the pain. I request permission that he can go on the next mission, whenever it is."
"Alright, I guess you Spartans are pretty tough. I am not sure when the next mission is going to be though. When I find out I will contact you..." The man at the radar console cut off the Admiral.
"Sir, long range scanners have picked up a group of ships entering the system! Evaluating... Sir, the silhouettes match. They're Covenant!"
"Bring the ship to full combat alert. Contact all planetside forces, the rest of the Task Force and HIGHCOM on Earth!" The Admiral commanded. "Spartan 035 assemble your team in Dock 06. Contact me when you're ready!"
"Yes sir!" Touya opened up a COM channel with the rest of his team. "I want all of you to meet me in Dock 06 with heavy combat loads. Double time!" A series of acknowledgment light winked on.
Touya sprinted down the hallways of the frigate Allegiance and into the Armory. He quickly grabbed a Battle Rifle, 10 clips of AP rounds, a shotgun, half a dozen grenades, and 2 standard issue pistols with several clips of ammo. He then sprinted down another hallway and onto an elevator and punched the button for Deck 13. Touya hopped off the elevator and ran his way into Dock 06 where his fellows Spartans were waiting. Touya buzzed the bridge.
"Touya, I've received a message from groundside forces. They need back up, so you and your team are being dropped into a forest close to a Military Installation were you will mount a defensive and repel Covenant forces. Understood?" The Admiral asked.
"Yes sir! Touya over and out." Touya responded. He and his team quickly piled onto a waiting Pelican. As its engines roared and it sped down to the surface of Theta Omicron, Touya turned to face his team, and he smiled under his mirrored helmet.
