This is my very first FanFic...I'm not that great of an writer but i'm trying my best. Any feedback would be appreciated. Post it up on this forum or email me at SuperChink316@Hotmail.com. Also most of the facts in the story I made up. Jupiter : Roman Mythology: The ruler of all the Gods in Roman Mythology. When I was young I would keep wondering why the largest planet was named after Jupiter. I was 10 at the time that an idea struck me. The ruler of the Gods was named after the planet. I was still confused and that very day I decided against thinking about it again. During that time I was aware but still naive to the war around me, the war with the Covenant. My father was a high level captain and I was always at the starport where he worked. I would always pester him to stop working and play with me. He did....sometimes. But then one day he disappeared. The fist thing I did after my discovery was talk to Mom. She said that he had to go on a very important mission. Mom also told me that he would be back after a few weeks. Well, I waited...and waited...and waited...and waited...days, weeks, months, years. They all pass, yet I kept waiting. It seemed like all time had stopped until he came back. Mom started to cry just a few months after he left. She just kept crying and crying everyday. My uncle took care of my mom and me. He would come over to stop her from crying but she didn't listen. But that didn't matter, Dad would be back soon. I was about 14 one day when I saw the letter next to Mom's dresser. It was a KIA slip....about my father. I couldn't believe it. At first I was angry because she kept this all from me. She kept me from the truth about my father. Then I was just in shock. He was dead. I had waited and waited and waited....and he was gone. I threw a huge temper tantrum that day. I hated everyone. Of course Mom didn't know what the hell was going on...why I was being such a jackass. It took me a whole month to work this out of my system. But in my gut I knew that I had already known this...a LOOOOONNNG time ago...yet I just wouldn't believe it. Two years after this, I decided that I would join the Marines to fight against the Covenant. Strangely, it had also been the day when the "lost" Spartan had come back with is news about the halo and the Pillar of Autumn. I was really athletic and a great strategist. The day I turned 18 I enlisted. I was immediately sent to boot camp for a quick 2-week training of hand-to-hand combat, heavy weapons training, vehicle training, strategy, and Covenant anatomy. The people at the boot camp decided I was best to handle the heavy stuff...like artillery, rockets, and mortar launchers. Now these weren't the old wimpy mortars like in the 20th century...oh no...one mortar could take out all of Paris, New York, London, Beijing, Tokyo...and any other big city you could name. Well maybe not a whole city...but at least half of it. But anyways my specialty was heavy weapons...and the new stuff...like the stuff straight out of the labs to test out....I would be the first one in my unit to see and test out the new stuff. I was the leader of the squad....kinda. More truthfully, we were a big family. Since my friends saw me join they decided to join too. And by either the luck of the draw or just some freaky willpower by me we were stuck in a unit together. By now the humans had an advantage because of the destroyed armada of the covenant and the everyday discoveries scientists were making. Fleets of warships were being constructed near Earth, for her protection of course. Waves of warships of every variety (and the new ones with shields) were being constructed. It seemed liked the humans were winning this one. The United Galaxy Defense, which was officially declared to defend Earth and her sister planets from the covenant had pushed the remains of the armada far from Earth and gave her some breathing room. A 100 light year perimeter was made and defenses were at the utmost optimum. But the Covenant weren't stupid. While the UGD finished their perimeter, the Covenant had again made a vast armada to destroy Earth. During this time, my unit, the Knights, had seen combat against live covenant only 6 times. And most was just to mop up enemies on the colonies that they had set up. And out of those 6 times, 5 were just a series of grunts shooting at us. We were the best compared to the other squads we had encountered. Didn't we deserve something better? Some competition? I would regret those words. Just 3 days after the defenses were set up, they Covenant armada attacked. They found a weak spots between the southeastern grids of our defenses. The newly developed plasma-pods and Havoc-Missiles took care of at least 20 ships but there was still a whooping 330 some-odd ships left to deal with. UGD immediately started sending ships and marines to the scene. We volunteered to go first. I would also regret that decision too. It was June 23rd, 2560 that we Tronos. It was a D1-class moon, which meant that it was fairly habitable with gravity about earth's force. We stormed out of Pelican 2s (the original thought to be unsafe were mounted with mini-Mac guns and also outfitted with shields projectors) and onto the high cliff where an almost collapsing bunker was under attack by the covenant. Everyone pulled out there GA1A (which were automatic Gauss rifles) and started a counter-attack. I pulled out my Class5 grenade launcher and started to pop out grenades at the many grunts and elites coming at me. If wasn't much of a fight when we finished. It was just us in our corners crushing covenant attackers. We did lose 3 people....2 to a nicely aimed fuel rod rocket and another to a covenant sniper. After the battle my squad went to the mess hall to find some grub. "That was some of the best combat that I have ever seen," I said. We decided to do what the grumpy marine said and played cards. It was about 2100 hours when the siren went off. The covenant were back so we grabbed our gear. Plasma bolts started striking everything when I got to the top of the bunker. They had us completely off guard. Men started to fall everywhere. I got in between two pillars and started to fire with my rifle. The covenant were closing on our position. Luckily we planted mines so the first wave of intruders we destroyed. But they just kept coming and coming. There was no way that we were going to hold this position. I heard someone calling for evac. I guess that was the smartest thing to do. |
