Trouble on the Front CH1
Date: 28 February 2009, 5:05 am
John could feel his SMG shaking beside him as his drop pod flew down like a bullet, it was thirty minutes since he saw the stars of space, the atmosphere of the Halo was ripping other pods apart, the metal was burning up, John's feet was on fire, but he had to resist the temptation to fly out of the burning pod. It was then that the drop pod hit the grassy ground of Installation 04, the hit was very hard on John's feet, but this was all covered in training, so it was as normal as his own heartbeat, pod door flew off and John scouted the area for threats, the coast was clear, so he lowered his SMG and walked beside another ODST, which turns to a few, which turned into hundreds. The 500 ODSTs were split into 10 battalions of 50, then into 2 squads of 25. The camp logfire steam set up high into the Halo's sky, the camp was set, it was dark, but that didn't stop the ODSTs from staying outside of their cramped tents, the patrols were all around, John could see Battalion A,B and C off in the distance, each the same distance from each other, 100 metres, the campgrounds were shaped into a square for much better protection.
It was day after a long night, John was woken from a yell, "SCOUT PARTY!" The covies have sent a scout party over to destroy the camps, John was already in his suit, so he snatched his rifle and ran up to the patrol grounds, the yell came out again, it was from camp B, so John ran across the camp area to Camp B, the Covenant already set foot inside Camp B, plasma shooting by making a very hot battle ground, John took cover behind a wooden house and waited for the perfect timing. Finally, he jumped out and shot the last member, the scout party turned around to see what happened, they saw a dead body of an elite, then a grenade right before their footsteps. Tick, tick, tick, BOOM, the grenade set the grunts flying and the elites clinging to the ground. No survivors at Camp B.
John was back at Camp D headquarters, "We're heading in 3 hours, get suited up, it's soon, we'll show them who to mess with."
The ODSTs were all lined up, ready to be sent out, the major sergeant, Jerry Marshall, was setting up their morale with a rally, John didn't decide to participate, he thought of what's ahead, what is going to happen, he just doesn't know what's their plans, but he's sure they're coming in again with their army, it's not going to be pretty.
The rally was over and the soldiers were ready to fight and die for their species, as soon as Marshall yelled, "CHARGED" all the ODSTs went running towards the inland , where the covenant was, where the battle was before he knew it, John was running along side his teammates into warfare, the cannons started to gain attention and started to shoot, many died before him, but John and his fellow ODSTs were still running, leaving the dead behind as if it was another piece of grass. The number of soldiers dumbed downed by dozens a seconds, it was only thirty ODSTs left as they got to the gate, it's time to get into the stronghold.
The soldiers pushed through and shot and killed the elites grunts before their own eyes, the bullets and plasma started coming, the real amounts were 30 to 100, the ODSTs were way outnumbered, but the morale wasn't gone, this battle was the portal to death, or life. The covenant numbers went down as the soldiers used many warfare tactics they learned in army school since they were 17, but all that training has paid off, the covenant numbers were then lower than the ODST's and finally they were killed off, the camp was clear. As the soldiers searched the elite's bodies for any equipment or weapons, all they could get was a full plasma pistol and a plasma rifle at 89 battery. Now this camp is one step forward towards victory, " We wait another hour until another step forward!!" John annouced. All the ODSTs agreed, they all took a rest to prepare for worse.
Through all the rest, it was inturrupted by another covenant scout party, they were elimanated as soon as spotted, the patrol did put good use of the scavaged weapons, yet there was a full plasma rifle being carried and a holomap, one ODST put the holomap in and checked it, it was the directions to the covenant base, a great advantage for the UNSC, now they can bombard in the right place, another small step foward, but then they have too wait for that next big step into victory on installation 04.
