Nanamee was only born a few weeks ago, but he already knew he would have a short time with his mother before he would be taken into the Covenant Army. He also knew that his life a long with almost all of the other young grunts in his village would be extremely short.If you were lucky, you might last a year. After a few months with his mother he would be taken to a month long traing where more grunts would probably die. He heard that they would make you fight elites, most grunts dying...the ones that survived would of course go to the spec ops, and the ones who didnt have to fight anything would be the lower ranking officers. He knew the elites would kill anyone including grunts and jackals if they got annoyed. He was scared.Very scared.
A few months later...
It was the day he feared more than his death...the day he had to leave his mother, he thought about hiding, but when the elites walked off of those dropships to collect the grunts abd found one hiding, they killed his mother and then him. He ran straight for the dropship stopping only to look back at his mother knowing he would never see her again.After he got onto the dropship, he started crying a long with other grunts. When they lifted off the elites said "All hail prophets". Everyone said that except for two. First they shot their fingers and hands off, then opened the dropships doors, stuck a plasma grenade to them and threw them out. BOMK!BOMK!.The grunts exploded.
2 hours later...
They stopped to pick up jackals and Nanamee turned to the grunt next to him and said "Wow they are ugly". The grunt said "Yep. Hey, whats your name?" and Nanamme said "Nanamee". The other grunt said "Mines YipYer".
At the training station...
The elites brought the jackals and grunts to a small room and gave them plasma pistols.Then they said "Shoot at the hunter".He thought what hunter?CUNK!An elavator came down and a hunter stepped off. It had its cannon charged and took out 2 grunts and 8 jackals.The grunts and jackals soon found out only some of the plasma pistols had batteries.Luckily Nanamee and YipYaps did. They both charged them up and came right around and shot the hunter in its back. It fell over and crushed 2 jackals and 1 grunt. 18 jackals and 25 grunts had died.Nanamee and YipYap were lucky.
Every morning they would have to wake up at 4 o'clock and do pistol training, then lunch and then plasma grenade and live fire training.Then sleep.Once every three days they would get there methane tanks refilled.Once and a while they would do training missions with dropships. He actually thought it was sorta fun."ATENTION ATENTION WE ARE BEING RESTATIONED TO HALO...OUT" an elite said "REPORT TO DROPSHIPS". He knew that was bad. He also knew the humans knew where halo was. Many Covenant were goin to die.
At halo...
THUNK.The dropship hit."GO GO GO" the elites said.they stepped out and 1 elite ans 3 grunts were killed. The remaining elites yelled "Jackals...Formation!!". The jackals lined up with their shields at front and marched forward. The elites crouched and and hid behind the sheilds.Some jackals were overwhelmed with firepower and their shields "left" and they were killed."Medic" someone yelled and Nanamee ran over to help the elite and patched up his wounds, but it was to late. He took the elites needler and used it. He blew up two marines and injured one."OH CRAP" a grunt yelled "The armored human!" Grunts,Elites,and Jackals started going down as the human started sniping. Some aliens took cover behind a rock and luckily an elite had a radio. He called for two pairs of hunters and 15 brutes to take of them. The dropship was there in no time. The plasma gun on the dropship took out a few marines, and the hunters came out withe their guns charged and took out 13 marines. Nanamee heard the chirp of a human sniper rifle. 3 hunters down and 9 brutes down already. The human was good.After the team of hunters and brutes were dead the elite called for an evac. The dropship was there and they made a run for it. the jackals were there shields.An elite went down a long with three grunts and one jackal.Nanamee and YipYer made it safely though. Same with a few jackals and grunts. He took a look at the casualty chart as they took of. 26 humans died,9 jackals,7 elites, and 19 grunts.It was a horrible lose.
