Redemption, and Victory: Part One
Date: 27 June 2003, 11:55 PM
Location: Star System Wolf 359, UNSC Frigate Redemption
Time: 2552
The cryo-tube opened with a hiss, and out stepped John-117, known to most as the Master Chief, his rank.
The Master Chief was a Spartan II Super soldier, bred for war. He was the last of his kind, the other Spartan IIs being destroyed at the Battle of Reach.
A crewman stepped up, talking with the radio to another person in a windowed in balcony, with control panels and shiny controls everywhere up there.
"Ok, George. Looks like no damage to him, no freezer burn." He then looked up at the chief's visor for his MOLJNR Battle Armor. "Sir, don't worry if you're a bit disoriented at first. I gave you a double dose of the Wake-Up Stiff. It should wear off shortly."
From the radio, George's voice came. "Ok, I'm initiating Health Diagnostics." A bar came up on the right side of the Chief's HUD. "All clear, scanners read you're good to go, sir!"
The Master Chief slowly felt strength return to him, as they tested his shields, and his HUD's aiming system.
"Ok, now for the weapons diagnostics," Said the man on the ground floor of Cryo 2.
The Captain's voice went through the intercom to cryo 2. "Bridge to Cryo 2, send the Master Chief to the Bridge immediately."
"But, sir," Protested the crewman, "We've gotta run the weapons diagnostics, and I-"
"On the double, crewman!"
"Yes, sir!"
The intercom cracked off. "Let's go, sir," The crewman said to the Chief. He than turned on the radio. "You'd better get to your evac group, Sam," He said.
"Ok, I'll lock down the main computer, and I'm outa here!" Came the response.
Suddenly, pounding is heard on the door to the balcony. "What the!? They're getting through the doors, Security!" Almost too quick, two Marines arrived, and prepared for a battle.
The doors were blasted open, and three Jackals engaged the Marines.
The MA5B Assault Rifles the Marines had and the MD6 Pistol Sam had had no effect on the shielded Jackals, but the Plasma Pistols took down the Marines and the Crewman easily.
"Sam! SAM! C'mon, let's get the h*** out of here!" But, a Plasma Bolt hit him, sending him screaming to the floor.
One hit the Chief as well, but thanks to his shields, had no effect. He ran out the doors, and closed them.
A Grunt was sleeping in the next hallway. Carefully creeping up on the Covie, he punched his left fist into the Grunt, and it came out the other side of it's head. He pulled the left hand back, brushing off various Grunt... things.
He ran through the next room, where an Elite with camouflage and a Needler began to follow him.
Yet another room, this time, a bit bigger than the others he had been in yet.
He closed the doors, unknowingly crushing the Elite in the doors.
A battle was being waged, three Marines and an armed Crewman versus seven Grunts and an Elite.
The Chief saw 3 FRAG Grenades, and collected them. One, he chucked in the middle of the Covenant, grouped together. They had no clue of the power of the FRAG, but they were to learn! One Grunt, stupid in the Extreme, picked it up.
The resulting explosion killed all Grunts, and downed the Elite's shields. The Elite was quickly killed, by lead from three Assault Rifles and a Pistol.
One Marine turned to the Chief. "Whoa, a SPARTAN! So, they do exist! But, I thought all you were killed on Reach..." He said.
"You thought wrong," Came the Chief's deep voice from the MOLJNR Armor.
"Sir," Said another, "Excellent hand, with that Grenade."
"Thanks."
"Sir," Said Marine #3, "The Captain needs you on the Bridge, ASAP! Do you need backup?"
"Indeed. Yes, You can come." He took an Assault Rifle from a dead Marine(one of two), and began to walk off, Marines following.
Another Marine appeared in the next room. He was holding a Pistol, and was yelling various things; "They are to get us all! You hear? We're all dead!! DEAD!!!! Stay away, you blue blood, purple blood, orange blood! I'll shoot! I will! You'll never take me alive!" He was shooting, too. A Plasma Bolt put him out of his misery. The Chief, and his 'Honor Guard' ran in, to be greeted by 2 Hunters, 3 Elites(In gold armor), and 15 Grunts, all yelling unpleasant things, like;
(Hunters:) "Kill all Humans! Red Blood tasty!" (Elites:) "You are a blasphomy to the gods! You must perish!" (Grunts:) "Hurt You!"
"Not good," Said the Crewman, as the enimies charged...
Indeed, this is taken from parts of Halo...
Redemption, and Victory Part Two
Date: 30 June 2003, 9:56 PM
Location: UNSC Frigate Redemption, en route to Star System Wolf 359
Time: 1200 Hours, November 4, 2554 (Military Calendar)
"Hunters, A Marine uttered the word all Marines fear: Hunters. However, the Hunters were killed before, so the Humans took heart, and readied for battle.
The Master Chief charged, MA5B Assault Rifle spraying Covenant warriors with lead. Three Grunts had fallen, and an Elite had got the same deal, when the Chief reloaded, and the other Humans on the scene began to fire.
A Hunter attempted to melee the Chief, but the Master Chief's fists were faster and about as strong as the feared Hunters were.
The Chief countered another blow, and Smashed the Butt of his MA5B into the Hunter's stomach, and orange blood sprayed out. The Hunter fell, dead.
Seeing the mighty Hunters and Elites having a run for their money, the remaining Grunts were having a just plan run.
A bullet in the head put down one. Several more bullets, and a FRAG Grenade, killed the rest.
Four Marines appeared behind the corner, two holding M2 AS Sniper Rifles, the other two holding MA2B Battle Rifles, smaller versions of the standard MA5B.
The bullets let fly, and when it was over, the Covies in the room were gone.
A Marine approached the Chief. "Sir," He said, "Captain White is waiting, he sent us to look for you." He threw a salute.
"At ease," Said the Chief.
"Very good, sir. This way, if you will..." They walked into the Bridge, a large room, with several UNSC Crewmembers at various consoles. There was a pillar in the center, and the Chief took the right side. The Marines stopped following.
The Chief approached an officer, who turned around.
"Captain White," Said the Master Chief.
"Master Chief. Glad to see you awake," Replied the Captain, "However, things aren't going well." He indicated a holo-screen, which had one yellow triangle in the center, and many red circles surrounding it. "Merlin did his best, but we never really had a chance."
A voice, along with a holographic image of a man, appeared.
"A dozen Covenant Battle Groups, versus one Starblade Class Frigate, with those odds, I'm content with three... make that four, kills." He turned to the Chief; "Did you sleep well?"
"No thanks to you're driving, yes," Said the Master Chief.
"So you did miss me." He hologram smiled shrewdly.
Suddenly, an explosion rocked the ship.
"Report!" Ordered the Captain.
"It must have been a Covenant boarding party, probably an anti-matter charge," Said Merlin.
A Helmsman, turning his head to face them, yelled, panicking, "Sir! Fire Control to the MAC Cannons and Archer Missile Pods off-line!"
Well, that settles it. Chief, we will hold them off. You must commander a Pelican, and whatever support you may find. Your mission is to board a Covenant Cruiser, and make sure the other Covenant Vessels aren't monitoring you. You are then to return to Sol System with the cruiser. If any Covenant Vessels follow, your orders are to eliminate them. Once the cruiser is docked at Earth Fleet HQ Shipyard in orbit, you are to report to Admiral Starblade for your new mission. Is this understood?"
"I understand," Said the Chief.
"Oh, and one more thing." The Captain turned to Merlin. "Merlin, transfer your main CPU to a hard copy for transfer."
"Aye, aye, sir," Merlin said, as the hologram disappeared.
Five seconds later, the Console produced a disk, Merlin's CPU Disk.
The Captain took it. "Chief, the MOLJNR Battle Armor is compatible with Merlin's computer needs. Therefore, in accordance with Cole Protocol, Merlin will be accompanying you on your mission. And, also, he will be able to hack the Covenant Computer system, finding vast stores of info."
He handed the Chief the disk, who put it in a slot on the back part of his armor.
Merlin's voice came up. "Your architecture isn't that different from the Redemption's..."
The Chief found he could chat with Merlin through his neural implants; "Don't get any funny ideas."
Two Marines were standing by an airlock, when suddenly; it blew open with a tremendous force, knocking one Marine dead
The other, Sergeant James Peters ran behind a barricade; he now had some cover.
An Elite, and five Grunts walked into the hallway, from beyond the airlock. They had begun the boarding! There must be more in the boarding ship, and they're using the airlock, when we go out, they come in! These thoughts were going through Peters, as his MA5B opened up, killing four Grunts, the other fled inside the boarding pod.
Three Marines had snuck up on the Blue Armored Elite, and shot a Sniper Bullet in its back, killing it. Peters jumped over the barricade, and congratulated the Marine with the Sniper Rifle.
Suddenly, a Plasma Grenade rolled in, killing the three other Marines. Peters fell to the ground, his left leg missing.
A Golden-Armored Elite ran in. A quick stab with a Plasma Sword put peters out of his misery.
In his last moments, Peters knew he was as good as dead. He was thankful he had a chance to kill some Ungodly Covenant. Then, he thought no more.
