This is the ODST's side of the story from the ever popular third book in the Halo series 'Halo- first strike' this was once for a school project i had to write a story that made sence using all of my spelling words, now that school is over i changed it so it sounded better,(it has less spelling words now.)so this is it...

navy controlled space, UNSC class ship, Epsilon Eridani System.

The solders snapped a crisp salute to the major as he walked through to the ships main bridge of the PHILOSIPHERS MARK, it was a small ship with 6 archer missle pods, 1 mac gun,a hanger full of, pelican drop ships,lrv's or warthogs,longsword air craft, and a , whole staff of scientists, to study alian technoligy,marines, pilots,and the best staff of officers a captain could ever ask for. The ships captain had called him up to the bridge promising a special mission. as he walked he saluted smartly and said,'reporting as ordered sir!' the captain pointed to a chair without tacking his eyes off the view screen, the major sat letting the seat conform to his bodies shape. Then the captain sat in a chair across from him and said,' tom I know you have performed in tough even suicidal missions, with your medals and awards the weight would challenge a brick.Your restruction of a bomb in zero gee was marvelous, your instructor at the academy was amazed, and you knocked out twelve of your team mates in a 50 second brawl over a combat knife, plus you got the knife. You're the most informative person on this ship.' he abruptly paused ''come to my quarters.'' he said,'' Let's talk there.'' Tom nodded got up and fallowed the captain to his quarters,


he had never been here before, not many people had, there was a small plant in the corner, a bunk with a reading light and a book in another and a small desk with 2 chairs and a computer, the captain sat in one and tom sat in the other, at that point he just noticed how old the captain looked, the wrinkles on his face, the graying hair, the sleepy looking eyes, but he didn't have time to look more when the captain said,'' now tom I know I promised you a special mission and here it is. as you know we are currently in the Epsilon Eridani System,I would like you to take a company of ODST's to Reach and play capture the flag against the Spartans, twelve year olds; you'll be getting a tank squad, old barracks, a flag, flag pole, a squad of ODST's, daily supplies, narq dart weapons, stun grenades, and a 'smart' AI to help you. What's so funny?'' He asked quizically to tom,

'' Sorry.'' Tom replied '' it's just. Twelve year olds? We'll beat them to pulp!'' ''Ha ha.'' The captain said sarcastically. '' but your missing the point, these are Spartans they deserve respect no matter how old they are. We'll be at Reach shortly I suggest you get some sleep. '' the captain said,'' yes sir,'' tom said before standing a making his way towards his quarters.

- two weeks later, military based planet,Reach, unknown location near big horn river,old barraks.



THUD,A muffled explosion from the deck below the barracks shudder through the base, disrupting tom while he was talking to one of the ODST's more colorfully known as 'Helljumpers' that was guarding the entrance, tom ran to see what had happened- the destruction was precise, 4 stun grenades underneath rotting wood right underneath the company barracks sending splintering wood chips up through the floor, trapping and immobilizing most of tango company.

The Spartans were indestructible as ever, once again Tango Company was beaten and destroyed, and they had tried everything! Even bribing Chief Mendez into telling the Spartans they had changed bases. They restructured the base so it had more security, But those little brats still won! Even when the company used live ammunition. But the Spartans still won… a canteen leaning against the wall caught his attention, it was filled with battery acid from the truck, the Spartans must have used the acid to rot the wood, and that explains the hole in the fence they must had used the acid and escaped into the woods!'' man,'' tom wispered. '' those guys are tough. all those things we did trying to win…

The End.
