"Chief! Wake up, wake up!" the voice screamed in his head.
"Ahh! What the fuck?" Master Chief said.
"Covenant ship is approaching! Get to the controls!" Cortana said.
Master Chief quickly got up and rushed to the controls. A ship appeared from behind. Chief shut off the auto-pilot and grabbed the controls. He accelerated and pulled sharply to the left, and the Covy ship stayed close behind. It started firing plasma bolts, and Chief nosed down. He quickly spun the Longsword and fired 3 missiles at the Covy ship. One hit and the other two flew off to the left. He spun the ship around again and went as fast as he could. "Cortana, where is the nearest planet?!" He needed to find a planet to hide out. There was no way he would survive this assault.
"Searching," Cortana said. "Uhhh...."
"What?" Chief said.
"The closest planet is the Grunt homeworld."
"What is the next closest?"
"The next closest is 100 light years away, you'll be shot down if you try for it."
"Ah fuck," Chief said. "Would I be able to live on a world with low oxygen?" he asked.
"This planet has abundant oxygen, the methane must be like nitrogen on Earth." Cortana said.
"Oh, I see," he said. He thought quickly if he should try for the other planet. It was possible to make it, if he was lucky. He certainly did not want to land on an Covy inhabited planet. They would kill him the first chance they got. He had to decide fast. He felt a plasma bolt hit the hull. 'Fucking hell," he thought. "Ok, Cortana, find me an un-inhabited area on the planet." He had to take his chances.
"Analyzing," she said. "OK, I have the coordinates, I'll display them." The coordinates popped up, and the Chief turned the ship towards the Grunt planet. He turned on the nuclear reactor engines, and made the jump.
The Covy ship easily tracked him, and was quickly firing away at the Longsword. Chief flew towards the planet, and more Covy ships joined the assault. He was getting tons of damage to the ship. He rushed by a moon, and soon entered the atmosphere. The ship started to flame from the friction. He looked on the radar, none of the Covy ships had tracked him through the atmosphere. He saw white clouds rush up at him, then through them, and saw green for a split second before slamming into the ground. Dirt was thrown up on all sides and flew up into the air.
The Chief groaned, and got up slowly. He felt extremely dizzy. "Chief, Chief? Are you ok?!" Cortana said.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine, you're giving me a headache though," he replied. He had to get out of there, fast. He went to a storage area, and grabbed supplies. He took rations, an MA5B assault rifle, an M6D pistol, and about 20 fragmentation grenades, and 20 plasma grenades. He holstered the pistol, slung the MA5B on his shoulder, and attached 8 grenades to his suit. He put the rest in a back pack. He ran through the long corridors of the ship, and reached the vehicle area. He opened a hatch at the back of a ship, then got into a Warthog, and started the engine. He drove out the doorway.
The Flood combat form was hurting like hell. The collision could have killed him. He got up and felt bones crack, but they just reformed. He had heard some yelling earlier, and felt something hitting the ship, then the ship slamming into the ground. He looked around and saw light coming in on the opposite side of the room. He heard someone coming, and then an engine being started. He ran to the door and saw a Warthog drive out of the ship and into the forest.
The ex-Marine, two other combat forms and some infection forms had rushed onto the Longsword on Halo, just before Chief got into it and flew away. They knew this human would kill them if he saw them, so they hid in a cargo storage room, from which the ex-Marine and its cohort had acquired MA5Bs. They had been living off a dead Elite. He had fallen asleep for a very long time and then he felt the plasma bolts slamming into the ship.
Now he had to get off, and bring the infection forms with him. This was the Flood's opportunity. They could infect a whole planet full of potential hosts. He let the infection forms attach to him, grabbed his rifle, and ran out of the ship, the other two close behind.
"Damnit, that crash will attract some troops for sure," he said. Sure enough, a Covy dropship appeared, and instantly spotted the Warthog. It started firing from the Shade, and set down. About 15 soldiers came out, and fired at the Warthog. Chief got out and ran up a hill, reached the peak, and started running down the other side.
He ran down the hill, plasma rounds whizzing by his head. There was a huge field, with mountains on either side, and a cliff, and a rock formation to the left. He dove behind a rock and took out a frag grenade. He threw it over the rock and heard Grunts yelling and an explosion. He looked over the rock, and fired his assault rifle, taking out several Grunts. He got hit with plasma shots being fired by an Elite. The shield protected him though. He took out his pistol and used the scope, and shot the Elite 3 times, taking out his shield. Chief then ran out and quickly threw a plasma grenade at the Elite, and it stuck to him. The Elite cried out in anguish, knowing he was about to die. It exploded and the Elite went flying.
Two Jackals started firing thier plasma pistols at Chief. One charged up the pistol, and fired, taking out the shield. Chief quickly dove and rolled behind a tree. Chief waited, the shield regenerated. He looked out again and there was a Grunt right there. He yelled in surprise and Chief shot him with the pistol. He picked up the Grunt's needler. He looked out and threw a frag grenade at the Jackals. They screamed and the grenade exploded, sending them flying.
Chief looked to the right, and saw another Elite. He aimed the needler, and fired the whole magazine at it, all 20 needles homing in on the Elite, and there were 3 huge purple explosions, and the Elite flew up 10 feet in the air, and fell to the ground hard. He reloaded the needler, then felt several plasma shots hit him. He quickly spun around and fired the needler, 5 needles at each of the 3 Grunts. The needles exploded, killing the Grunts.
He then saw two Hunters charging down the hill right at him. He took out his assault rifle and started firing while running backwards. One Hunter fired a fuel rod blast at him, but he jumped over it. He ran to the cliff edge, and waited for a Hunter to come at him. One did, charging at him, and swung his huge metal shield at Chief. he dove off to the side, and got up fast. The Hunter was teetering on the edge of the cliff. Chief ran at him and hit him with his shoulder, with just enough force to knock him off the cliff. He screamed as he fell 100 feet to the ground below. The other Hunter fired a fuel rod blast at Chief. He dove and barely avoided the blast. He took out a plasma grenade and stuck it on the Hunter, then took out the pistol and started firing bullets at him. The grenade exploded but the Hunter was still alive, they were very tough. The Hunter came at Chief, and Chief jumped into the air over his head, but he swung his shield up and whacked the Spartan, whipping him 10 feet in the air. He fell to the ground hard. He saw the Hunter charging up its fuel rod cannon. Chief took out his pistol, and aimed carefully at the exposed orange skin, and fired. The Hunter yelled and fell to the ground, and the fuel rod blast went flying off to the side. The Hunter got up though, but Chief ran behind him, and shot at the exposed orange skin on his back 3 times. He fell to the ground again, dead.
Chief sat on the ground, exhausted. But then he heard a noise from behind. He spun around, an Elite was creeping up behind him, ready to kill the Chief. He yelled and fired his plasma rifle at Chief. The Spartan's only hope was a grenade, and he threw one at the ground near the Elite's foot. It exploded, but the Elite had already ran and dove to the side. That gave Chief time to take out his pistol and shoot the Elite in the head. Chief fired 5 rounds, killing it. He knew there were probably more coming, though.
He heard the familiar engine of a Banshee. He quickly hid in a rock formation. He saw a Banshee fly overhead, and took out his pistol and fired a whole clip at it. It started smoking, and it turned around, ready to fire a fuel rod blast at him. Chief reloaded and kept firing. It fired right at the rocks. He lay on the ground and covered his head, and heard a huge explosion. He felt his skin burning from the blast. Chief aimed at the Banshee again. It was circling back, and Chief fired 6 shots at it, and it exploded.
All of a sudden a Ghost went flying over the rocks. 'Crazy fucking Elites' Chief thought. He ran out of the rock formation, and saw the Ghost. It started firing its plasma cannons at Chief, and he threw a plasma grenade on it. The Elite bailed out of the Ghost, and it exploded. Chief took out his needler and fired 20 needles at the Elite, and they exploded on him, and he died.
Chief walked back to the Hunter, and pried the fuel rod cannon off its arm. He climbed up the hill, and peered over it. The dropship was still there, waiting to pick up passengers. Chief carefully aimed the cannon, and fired. The bright green plasma splashed against the side of the dropship with a loud explosion. Chief fired three more rounds, and finally hit one of the engines. The dropship stopped its ascent and came crashing down.
The Grunts screamed in terror as the ship hit the ground, sending them flying from one end of the ship to the other. Kluka 'Kamamee, a gold-armoured Elite, screamed as well. The ship shuddered to a halt. The Grunts were shrieking as piled out of the ship and started to run. Kluka yelled "Ishtoushtibibbil!" at them but they payed no attention. They ran off into the forest. Klukee swore at them, and got out of the ship.
He looked up the hill, and saw the Warthog, but no humans. He ventured out to destroy the vermin who, definitly by luck, had stolen a fuel rod cannon and shot his ship down. He wondered how the hell the human had managed to defeat 15 Covenant soldiers. He went out quietly, towards the Warthog, and kept looking over his shoulder. He inched closer to the Warthog, and bent down to look under it. He spotted feet. "Hahaha! Wort wort wort!" he yelled, and vaulted himself over the Warthog, and felt something smash his face, and he fell to the ground, he quickly got up and swung his plasma rifle, but missed the human. He felt something strike his foot, and he looked down in horror at the glowing blue ball. "NOOOO!" he screamed, lifting his leg and trying to claw the grenade off, but to no avail, it exploded, and he was sent flying into the air. He was still alive, the gold armour protected him well, and he looked down, to see a green flash fly up at him and explode onto his body, and it instantly killed him, and sent his body flying so far it reached the forest, and fell down through the leaves, and landed on top of a fleeing Grunt.
"Tough sons a bitches," Chief said, watching the Elite crash into the forest, his cannon smoking. He threw the cannon to the ground. He got into the Warthog and started it up again, and drove down the hill, and past the rock formation, into the mountains.
