Note: Sup Peeps. This is a story that I had started but never finished. I'm going to introduce again. I fixed some errors that the first version had. Hope you enjoy it.

I admit that it's crappy in the beginning but I promise that it well get better. Also the grammar needs work but I don't feel like changing the chapter to much since I wrote this like a year and half ago.

///// //// /// /// ////// //// //// // // /// // // /////////// ////// /// // // //// //// // /

Summary of story: The Spartans where sent to Reach to protect it. The Mission turned for the worst. Now the remaining Spartans, minus the Chief must get Dr. Halsley and leave Reach before it's destroyed. Then look for their vanished leader and complete there original mission and bring the war to the Covenant Front.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

note: When a covenant talk it will look like this. "/It's the well of the gods".

Location: Reach, The Fortress

Dr. Halsey sat working as fast as humanly possible to delete and copy all of her files. "No way in hell am I going to let my work get stolen by those covenant bastards. If I die my work dies with me!" she said while pounding on her desk. She had no idea what is going to happen to her. " Deja! How close are the covenants to my location?" Se yelled. no answer. " Shit, the covenant got her!" She said shocked. She looked at a monitor seeing and elite placing an explosive in Dejas main processor computer. 5 seconds passed and the camera went out. She looked to another monitor and there were her Spartans fighting. She gazed at them proudly knowing this might be the last time she sees her Spartans. The Dr had a big grin on her face and said, " May god have mercy on those covenant bastards." She said with a little smirk on her face. She returned to work.

At the same time out side The Fortress the remaining Spartans were fighting their way in to the Fortress to save the Dr. " Red two take out that damn ghost". Kelly ordered " Roger Kelly" He responded. Two seconds later Kelly sees a plasma grenade land on the unsuspecting elite. Kelly smiled. "See you in hell." She added. The grenade goes off killing the elite and sending the ghost flying in to a pack of grunts and a hunter killing them.

" Red two that must be one lucky ass shot!" She said. At the same time she kicked a grunt in the face breaking his methane mask. Then targets a direct three round shot in to a hunter's soft spot killing it. Then a fuel rod gun charge coming from a grunt hits Kelly. " Did that peace of shit just shot me?" She said pissed" Sure did Kelly." " Fred do me a favor and give that grunt my thanks." " With pleasure."

Fred ran at top speed at the grunt. He started shooting at the grunt. " /AHHH, ITS ONE OF THEM." The grunt Started running as fast as he could to a nearby elite. "/Commander its one of those Vyborg's. Kill it.." As the grunt finishes the sentence the commander Elite fell to the ground dead. "/ HOLY SHIT THE CYBORG JUST KILLED THE COMMANDER. I DON'T GET PAYED ENOUPGH FOR THE SHIT!" Fred shoots a small burst into the grunt killing it. Fred stops right next to the grunt and kicks it. " You talk to much grunt. Talking gets you killed. Let this be a lesson." He kicked the grunts limp body just for the laughs.

All the Covenant had been eliminated out side of the fortress.

Kelly was surprised that they had encountered little resistance. She did not like that to much. That only meant that the Covenant had something planned.

" All Spartans proceed in to the Fortress compound. We have an extermination job and a rescue mission to complete." Kelly ordered. All 15 Spartans left alive responded. " Roger."

"Just give me a second I need to get a little friend first". Said Fred. " Fred what in the hell are you doing". Kelly said with a confused look. Fred walked up to a warthog on its side and put his hands around the rail gun and using his enhanced strength ripped the gun out of the hog. " I think I'm ready now".

" Fred WTF are you doing? That's UNSC property." Kelly said with a shocked look. " Kelly I'm putting a good use to this trusty weapon. Plus the way things are going I don't think that the UNSC is going to even care." Fred said sarcastically. "Just watch were you fire it Fred I don't want any one Friendly being ripped apart by that thing." She ordered. "Yes Sir, I mean mam." He said.

All the remaining Spartans entered the structure ready to get the Dr and to get the hell out of Reach.

Quote: Don't mess with a Spartan especially 15 Spartans

15 of Earths best warriors walked at a fast pace in the huge hallways of The Fortress looking toward all directions to make sure no Convenant made the mistake and try to take them on.

They came to a corner. Kelly ordered Adam to take a look. Adam slowly looked to see what was on the other side. He saw six hunters and a dozen grunts. But he also saw a new enemy. It had a gorilla appearance. In other words a very pissed off gorilla with weapons. He counted eight of them. Kelly new that 15 Spartans could take out the hunters and grunts but she had no idea what the new threats could do.

They backed tracked to a small barracks. Where they made their plans.

"Any ideas?" She said. "Do we attack and take our chances with out knowing what the new threats can do?" she said.

She started thinking about the Chief and what he would do in this situation. John would never do a stupid move like a direct assault. There has to be a way. She slowly looked up and saw a vent that could easily fit a Spartan. An idea came to her head. Kelly ordered Adam to open the vent. He did what he was ordered.

"Ok, I need four volunteers for this." Kelly said.

She needes a small team so thats why she chose four.

Ben, Adam, Rachel, and Zero stepped forward.

"You four are coming with me." Kelly ordered.

They nodded. They moved next to Kelly.

" Our mission is to get Dr. Halsley and take her to safety. Once we have her we are going to set a HAVOC nuclear war head to blow away this place and any Covenant that are in it. We well enter through the vents to avoid any hostiles. So I hope none of you have fear of small spaces." Kelly said

"There is enough room to move in a crouching stance but don't press your luck we are sitting ducks in their. We are Blue team. Now get your equipment ready." She said. The team got ready.

"The rest of you are going to the hanger and find us a ride. Fred you are Squad leader of Red team." Fred nodded.

" If we don't get to the hanger in time you leave with out us. Man kind needs all the soldiers that they can get and 10 Spartans is better than none. You understand?" Kelly said

" Don't worry Kelly you well be back in time. Plus we never leave any one behind." Fred answered.

They all Saluted. And went to work and gathered there equipment.

Kelly thought " So this is what John has to go through every mission, if that's how it is. He can keep the job."

The Spartans got their equipment ready. Kelly reviewed her team. Zero was deadly at hand to hand combat he carried twin M6D pistols, a M90 shot gun, for those tight quarter fights to make him deadlier. He also carries an energy sword that he took from one of his victims that died a horrible death.

Ben is a heavy weapons expert. He carries a modified M19 rocket launcher, and the standard weapons an M6D pistol and a MA5B AR. Plus strength that rivals a Hunter.

Rachel was a sniper. She is almost as good as Linda or even equal at times. She is armed with a S2 AM Sniper Rifle with extended ammo magazines. She also carries the standard MA5B and M6D.

Adam is our Demolition man. He carries enough C12 to destroy a city block. He also carries small havoc nuclear warhead just for this mission. He also carries the standard equip.

The Spartans where locked and loaded. They were ready to move out. Blue team was first to move out after them Red team would leave to complete there mission.

Zero went in to the air vent first followed by Kelly, Ben, Adam, and Rachel covering their back. It was a tight place to be but it was the best way to the Dr's location.

Operation Halsley was on its way.

Halo: Mercy Ch: 3 Title: "One rocket equals two dead Hunters"

I'm finally settled here at my new house so my writing well start once again. I'm hoping to put more battle than talk in this chapter. Since I know most people think that too much talk is B.S. Maybe this time you can review since I have no idea what to change.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Location: The Fortress Barracks

As soon as Blue team had climbed into the vent and the rest of the Spartans got ready to move out.

" So who wants to have the honor of taking point?" Fred said. Scott stepped forward and volunteered. " The rest well split in to, three groups of three." The Spartans nodded.

"The hangar is 5 levels down from where we are. We need to get to the closest elevator and get down there. I have no idea how many Covies there going to be in the hanger. If we fail to secure the hanger then it's good night for us and most likely Humanity."

Fred thought that maybe he should of not said those last words. Things are grim enough and we need all the morale we could get.

" Once the hangar is secured we must hold up tell blue team gets there with the package." Fred ordered

Fred pointed to one of the Groups. " You three cover Scott. You make sure that he does not get killed. My group well follow shortly and you three cover our butts." He said pointing toward the last remaining group.

" Lets get the fuck out of here!" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////

Location: Air ducks.

Blue team had made good time and got near the entrance of Dr. Halsley's lab. They have no other choice but to get out of the duck, since there is no way of getting in to the lab through the vents.

Zero moved forward to the duck exit to take a look. Zero saw the entrance to the lab, but the door is locked and secured. He also saw three Black Op Elites and two hunters all trying to open the door.

Zero signaled the rest of the team about the situation. He waited for orders.

" Zero take out the elites. Adam use your rocket launcher and take out the hunters. Rachel you cover Zero and ill cover Adam." Kelly whispered on the comm.

Zero got his energy sword ready for the assault.

Zero kicked open the vent. Ben through a frag grenade in to the middle of the elites and hunters. The Covies noticed it immediately. The elites jumped to one side and the hunter jumped the other way separating them from each other. The elites Shields where gone after the grenade went off. The Covies moved the way that blue team had planned. Positioning the enemy right where they wanted them.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////// (Note: The following battles happen at the same time but ill show you how both battles go.)

Zero and Rachel V.S the Elite's

Zero activated his energy sword and jumped up toward one of the elites making the elite fall to the ground. Immediately Zero jammed his sword in to its chest. The elite roared in pain then it fell dead.

One of the elites had recovered from the shock of the grenade so acted fast, it jumped toward Zero ready to slam his plasma rifle into Zero's back. Zero noticed the attack but he had no way of stopping the elite before the elite slammed its rifle on to his back.

All of the sudden Rachel fired a direct shot in to the charging elite's head leaving a gaping whole in its head stopping Zero's attacker, and killing it before it slammed its rifle on Zero.

The remaining elite grabbed his rifle and aimed toward Zero. The elite began to fire at Zero. The first two shots landed on Zero's chest, but the shields took the damage.

With quick thinking Zero picked up the body of the elite that Rachel had killed and used it as a shield. The dead body took the rest of the shots.

The plasma rifle of the elite finally heated up and he stopped firing to let it vent.

Zero took this chance to attack. He used his enhance strength to through the dead body that he was using as a shield toward the remaining elite.

The elite noticed this just in time and jumped out of the way. The elite fell for Zero's trap. Zero sliced the aliens head off with his sword just as it was getting back up to its feet.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////

At the same time Adam and Kelly, had their hands full taking care of the hunters.

Just as Zero had jumped out of the air duck, Adam fired a rocket toward the two hunters. The rocket hit the hunters with a direct shot. The rocket did not kill the hunters but it shocked them enough to give Adam and Kelly enough time to jump out of the duck. They used the smoke that the rocket had created to hide from the hunters.

The hunters recovered from the shock and began to charge their fuel rod cannons ready to fire on the two Spartans.

When Adam noticed that the hunters where ready to fire on them he took action. He ran out of the smoke and fired a rocket directly into one of the charging fuel rod cannons.

When the rocket hit the cannon it created a chain reaction with the fuel rod cannon. The reaction made the cannon explode killing one of the hunters.

The shock of the explosion made the remaining hunter aim and fire in to the ceiling making tons of the ceiling collapse on to it. The collapsed ceiling killed the hunter but it created a barricade that blocked the Spartans way out through the air ducks.

" Fuck, their goes our way out." Adam commented. " Guess we are going to have to find another way toward the hangar."

Ben walked toward the lab entrance. He slammed his fist into the door not even making a dent. " Well I think that we well worry about that later, but right now we have to open this door and I don't think that brute force is going to do the job." He said massaging his fist that he used to punch the door. " Plus I can barely see a thing with the damn smoke and dust."

" Stop complaining and help me open this door." Kelly said while walking toward a control panel and started messing with it to open the door.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////

Location: Dr. Halsey's Lab

" Well I guess that today is the day that I say hello to Saint Peter." Dr. Halsey said in grief. She sat in her chair with a whiskey bottle on the desk.

" I've lived a long and productive life. I think I can die in peace. Or should I say pieces once those Covenant find a way in here. At least they well never get my life long work." She said looking at a burning computer that she through to the wall. She laughed and took another drink of the bottle.

All of the sudden she hears an explosion outside of the secured door. Two seconds later she hears another explosion. She hears the dying cry of an elite and the echo of a sniper rifle round. Then a loud explosion is heard, and the sound of tons of metal falling on the ground.

" WTF WAS THAT?" She said with a shocked voice.

She looked at the monitor that showed her what was happening out side the door. She only saw smoke in the air and nothing else.

" Great now they are going to blow the door open. Just my luck."

She took a look at the door toward two lights. One was red and the other was green. Red meant that the door was locked and secured and green meant that it was open. At that point the light was red, but five seconds later it went turned green.

" They are not going to take me alive."

She grabbed one of the whiskey bottles and smashed it on her desk breaking the bottle. The broken bottle had sharp edges and she was going to use it as a weapon. She picked up another bottle to through at her intruders.

The door opened showing nothing but smoke. The doctor saw the glow of an active energy sword, and she immediately through the bottle at that direction. The bottle was a direct hit, but instead of hearing an elite cursing she heard a human voice.

" Ouch shit, WTF was that."
