"Sir, sir can hear me?" someone said.
"Are alright?".
Captain briggs opened his eyes. He his whole body was aching with pain. He could here someone muffled voice some where above the rubble covering him.
"Sir" the voice said.
"Yeah I hear you" Briggs said replied.
"Get this shit off me".
"Yes sir" the voice said. "Quick someone help me out here".
Briggs could here more voices. His head hurt a lot from the rubble. His nose was broken and he could feel dry all over his face. The wait of the rubble lessened as bits were taken away. He could breath better now. Finally after a couple of minutes the piece above his head was taken way.
"Hey sir" Banks one his plattoons sergent face appeared above him.
"What happened?" Briggs asked.
'Wrath round hit the top of the roof"
Banks replied. "Covenant forces come out of nowhere and start to attack. We finished but with a few casualties"
"How many" Briggs asked.
"Everyone except fifthteen" Banks said.
Briggs felt a pang of guilt in the pit of his stomach. He started to feel sick. The last piece of rubble was finally removed and now he could finally stand. He look at what was left of his men out ofwhat he origally had. A medic came over to him and start patchin him up. Sergent Banks and a few others stood there watching him. Briggs look out at the street outside. Bodies of dead Covenant soldiers there lifeless. Amongst tham lay bodies in black ODST armour, his men.The medic putwhat he was doing.
"Allright sir hold still this will sting abit" the medic said. He grabbed Briggs nose and put it into place.
It hurt like hell but Briggs didn't care. He was to worried about the men that had been killed.
"Allright sir you'll have to take it easy for awhile. You got a servere concussion". The medic said.
Briggs nodder and the medic left. Sergent Banks moved towards Briggs.
"Sir. You might need this" Banks said handing him a battle rifle and a helmet.
The handle had blood on it and the helmet was slightly scratched. He move past the group placing the helmet on his head. He looked back at them.
"Men. This means war" he said cocking his weapon.

Chapter III: Patrol
Date: 21st August 2545
Time: 1450 hours
Location: UNSC Warthog, Teritum City, Planet Nazareth II
It had been a few days since they had first arrived in the City of Teritum, since that surprise attack. They had allready been in a few major skirmishes since then with Covenant and still they weren't giving up. Sergent Banks and his squad were on a routine patrol around the streets of the old city known as Teirtum.
"Sergeant, I'm picking up enemy movement three streets ahead of our current location" a young private said.
"Rodger that, stop the vehicle" Sergeant Banks said.
The warhog come to an abrupt halt in the middle of the quiet street. The other warthogs in the patrol also come to a halt.
"Allright I'm going to take five men with me, stay here with the warthogs" banks said over the com. "Conners, Jacobs, Burks, lewis and Franky follow me."
The five men he had called jumped down from the transport hog that was also part of the patrol. Banks hopped out of his warthog and made his way to the side of the street. He signalled the five of them to follow him. It took two minutes to make their way to the street where the young private had spotted movement on the motion tracker. As they got closer to corner Banks signalled them to halt. He made his way to the corner on old shop crouched low and peaked his head round the corner. Before his eyes he could see a wraith and a couple of Covenant infantry. He ducked back in cover and signalled for the others to come to him. When they got to him he breifed them on what they were up against.
"Allright we can take them" Banks said.
"Conners, you take the wraith, everyone else take out any Covenant infantry you see."
They all nodded that they understood the plan. Banks took one last look around the corner.
"On my mark", Banks said. "Mark!".
He jumped out of cover Battle Rifle raised. He took aim at a group grunts and squeezed the trigger. Four went down. Two rockets whizzed past Banks as Conners fired at the wraith. Both rockets hit their targat and the tank exploded into flames. Jabobs dropped to the ground as an elite fired it's plasma rifle him. Jacobs had taken two rounds to the chest. He lay on the ground limp. Banks fired at the elite which took cover behind a few bits of rubble. Banks primed a frag grenade and threw it right where the elite took cover. Three seconds later there was an explosion and the elites dead body flew a couple of feet away from where it was originally. There weren't many enemy infantry to take out but the fight seemed to go on forever because of a jackal sniper hiding in a second story window had shot Burks in the neck. Lewis had fired a few rounds at the jackal but it was to quick and shot him aswell. Jacobs fired a rocket round at the window and the jackal was engulfed by the explosion. The last few enemy started to make a run for it but were cut down by the ODST's. The fight ended and Banks called to the patrol to come to him. A couple of seconds later the warthogs rounded the corner and parked on the side of the street. Mathews made his way over to lewis who was sitting on the road clutching his stomach. Connors walked over to Banks.
"Burks didn't make it" Connors said handing Banks private Burks dog tags.
"Lets get out of here before anymore enemy show up", Banks said looking at the tags.
"Where are we goin?" the driver of one of the warthogs asked.
"Back to base" Banks replied jumping in the warthog.
And with that they left.
