Halo 2 Story (Part 1)
Date: 02 February 2002, 5:32 pm
The Longsword shook as it exited the atmosphere of Halo. The beautiful Halo was now no longer. The pieces flew out into space and then vanished. The Master Chief thought of all the Marines that he had to leave on the surface of Halo.
"We should head to the nearest colony that is still left. Scanning. It's in the Polaris Sector, Sabre Prime. It's the nearest colony, although it is the last colony in the outer colonies. The rest are in the Terra Sector, Earth." said the slightly sad Cortana.
"We just bought ourselves enough time with the destruction of Halo, but don't expect the Covenant to still be looking for survivors or any other colonies." said the Master Chief.
"Well, we can't sit here on our ends and do nothing, we have to arrange a counter-offensive. We have to take advantage of this opportunity. Most of the entire Covenant Fleet is gone. We can't pass it up!" Cortana said with a slight bit of anger in her voice.
"I intend to use it to our advantage. Cortana, prep the cryo tube. How longer till we reach Sabre Prime?" said the Chief.
"4 hours sir." said Cortana.
The Master Chief walked into the cryo tube and sealed the lid.
4 hours later, the Longsword enters orbit around Sabre Prime. The Earth-like planet had a hint of orange to it signaling that it was mostly deserts. It was a perfect for a military base that would never be used, until now.
"This is Cortana of the UNSC ship The Pillar Of Autumn. Requesting permission to dock at space-dock 112."
"Permission granted Cortana, docking bay 24 open for landing." said the Operator. "The Captain would like to speak with you as soon as you dock."
The Longsword swiftly flew into low orbit around the docking station. The bottom of the Longsword opened up revealing the magnetic docking clamps. The Longsword also had landing pads for ground landing, but he was docking in space-dock. The Longsword made it's approach. It glided in and the docking clamps struck the Longswords clamps and it was secured. A UNSC Captain was already standing on the deck.
"Master Chief, I am Captain Robert Harris." said the Captain with a handshake. "I will need to see your helmets video record, we need to use the time we gained with the destruction of Halo. No time must be wasted, follow me Chief."
The Captain seemed to be in a hurry, something must have happened while the Chief was on Halo. For all he knew, the UNSC was destroyed except for Terra. The Captain lead the Chief to a small briefing room filled with various Marine Sergeants, UNSC Captains and a few Admirals. The Chief felt out of place as they all stared in amazement, they had never seen a real live Spartan. He was the last one, so he was all they would get to see. The Captain motioned to a seat, the Chief removed his helmet as to be polite and sat down as the Captain stood at the front of the room.
"As many of you know, Sabre Prime is the last Colony of Mankind besides the Terra Secter, Earth. We have put together every single UNSC force in the Colonies to wage our final Counter-Offensive. The following is an order from the President of Earth and the UNSC High Command. We have ascertained the location of the Covenant Home-World. The planet was originally populated by the only dog-like animals that were not intelligent. The Covenant made sure that they became extinct and they made the planet the Center for all Covenant activities. The Grunts, Jackals, and Hunters were all incorporated into the Covenant after the Elite Sect took control of their worlds. All the races of the Covenant are present at the planet. Our probe, which we cloaked from policed technology from the Covenant, and sent it in the direction in which the Ships came when they attacked Reach. The probe was destroyed 2 days ago by the remaining Covenant fleet. They are en route to Sabre Prime, and it's not long before they find Earth. Our supplies are short and we need to strike now. We are to send all our forces in the outer colonies, which Sabre Prime is the only populated colony besides those in Terra, and proceed to the Covenant home world. However, during the attack, the Master Chief and the Marines will take a Spyder dropship full of Marine onto the planet. The Spyder is an oversized dropship that will carry large amounts of armor, infantry, and vehicles. It also has a cloaking device that will make it possible to land on the surface. After the Spyder lands, we are to disable the Planetary defenses so that the ships can come in and attack. Whatever Covenant ships are in the area will not be a problem. The Covenant fleet is en route to the remains of Reach to probably ascertain the location of Earth. They seem to think that we have a bigger fleet than we actually do. The shipyards have produced 4 new ships since the fall of Reach in addition to the ships before that. We have 4 new Halcyon Class Cruisers that have been build with the newest technology. The UNSC said that they appear to be most effective at the Covenant ships. The Spyder leaves dock in 0200 hours, Sergeants, you need to ready your men and load the vehicles. Captains, board your ships and warm up the engines. I will be aboard the Halcyon Merrimak. Dismissed."
The Chief sat up and went back into the lobby area, he had not much time to see the station itself. Just as the Chief stood still to look at the building, as Sergeant approached the Chief.
"Master Chief sir, I understand that you are to lead the invasion once on the planet. I am honored to fight alongside you sir." said the Sarge.
"I appreciate it Sergeant, but all I am doing is following orders to my best potential. Although my Spartan status does help in carrying out those orders." said the Chief.
The Chief then proceeded to the Spyder. He walked to the cryo chambers, stepped in the tube marked "Master Chief" and pushed the button. He would wake up in orbit around the Covenant home world. The fate of Humanity might lie in what happens when he wakes up. The roar of the Spyders engines came to life and he felt the push against him. Many marines then proceeded enter the cryo tubes as they were done prepping the vehicles. He felt the sleep vapor enter the tube and he fell asleep instantly.
(To Be Continued)
Halo 2 Story (Part 2)
Date: 10 February 2002, 4:16 pm
The Cryo tube hissed and the sleeping vapor was released. A Marine standing outside the cryo tube greeted him.
"Chief sir, the Spyder is entering high orbit around the planet. We are deploying the weapons and vehicular pods. Infantry is going to enter the planet in 0030. You are requested by the Commander to be the first in the #1 infantry pod." said the nervous Marine.
The Chief look around the room and replied, "I will be there Corporal." The Marine saluted and walked out the doors.
The Chief pressed some buttons on his wrist and then turned Cortana back on. The Chiefs heads-up-display came to life with various gauges and monitors. A light on the left side of his head blinked on then off, then stayed on. The Chief stepped out of the cryo tube and walked over to the door.
"Aw, I don't like being frozen, it freezes me as if I had ears." said the shaky Cortana. "We should proceed to the armory bays for transport to the surface."
The Chief walked along the corridors to the Armory Bays where the smaller pods and dropships were located. The crewman walking along the corridors were staring in amazement at a Mark V that were mythological figures in terms of the UNSC. The Armory Bay doors opened as the Chief walked in proceeded to the group of Marine in the corner by the Infantry pods about to launch. The Vehicular and Weaponry pods had already been launched.
"Look, see I told you he was on board." said one of the Marines to another.
The Master Chief walked past the group of Marines and began to inspect the weaponry. He saw crates of the standard issue MA5B Assault Rifle, and crates of its ammunition. he saw various stashes of M6D Pistols, a few Shotguns for those that were going down into close quarters. 2 crates of Rocket Launchers were present and a large amount of grenades in their crates. There were barrels of 50.cal munitions for the Warthogs on the surface. These weapons were to be launched with the Marines where as the rest were at the drop-zone. The Master Chief walked over to the crewmen, picked up a crate of MA5B loaded it as the crewmen watched and stared at the Chief's superior strength, then they resumes loading the crates.
The Pods were loaded and the Marines boarded. The speakers in the Bay announced that the Pods were launching. The remaining Pods launched one by one. The Master Chief was in the first Pod. A small burst from the thrusters on the back of the Pod pushed the Pod out of the Bay and into space. It ignited more thrusters as the Pod accelerated out of nowhere as it seemed. The Spyder was still cloaked as the remaining Pods launched after one another and into space. The Pod that the Chief was in engaged its cloaking device as the vessel seemed to disappear and go towards the planet leaving only an outline. You couldn't spot it unless you tried. The other Pods engaged the cloaking devices and the Armory Bay doors closed. The 15 Pods containing 40 Marines each proceeded toward the bluish/purplish planet. The Pods outer shell, which was cloaked bended and fire could be seen around it. The Pods had entered the atmosphere. The planetary Plasma Cannons which were in high orbit around the planet did not fire at any of the UNSC vessels. They had to disengage the Plasma Cannons so that the remaining UNSC fleet at Sabre Prime could enter and capture the planet without the Plasma Cannons to destroy the ships.
The Pods stopped showing fire around their hulls and they enter high altitude above the planet.
Small "wings" came out of the sides of the Pods. Small thrusters at the end of the wings pushed the Pods at supersonic speeds through the air towards the location of the Vehicle and Weapons Pods. The Master Chief took his time in the Pod to reconnect with himself. It had been a week since he had fought. He was hungry.
"Chief sir, ETA to arrival is 10 minutes." said the Pilot.
"Chief Sir, allow me to introduce you to my squad." said the Sergeant. "I am Sergeant Pelko."
The Sergeant nodded to a fellow Marine onboard.
"Corporal Gonzalez sir." said the Coporal.
They went down the line announcing their names and ranks.
"Private Munro sir."
"Private Harris sir, no relation to Captain Harris sir."
"I appreciate your kindness, but I am merely a soldier as you are." said the Chief, "Master Chief Petty Officer, uh, 117."
The Vehicular and Weapons Pods came into view on the window. There were multiple Covenant vehicles examining the pods and many figures inspecting them. They were going to destroy them if they were not stopped. The Master Chief was in command of the ground assault, he had to act quickly. The Chief pushed the Com button an gave commands.
"Pods B through G, come along the left flank of the Pods. H through M you take the right flank. Pods N and O you follow my Pod to the Covenant vehicles. Smooth clean dispersal Sergeants. Load your weapons and stock up on ammo. Fire at will, anything that has anything that fires at you, fire back and destroy. Let me remind you Marines what you are fighting to defend. The Covenant have destroyed every single colony except Sabre Prime. They have slaughtered families in their houses. Destroyed the beautiful rich lands of Reach. Your fighting for all the heroes that died on battle that their deaths may not be in vain. Your fighting for your survival as a species. Give them hell." said the Chief as he gave his Pep Talk.
The Pods dispersed and the thrusters on the ends of the wings pointed straight down. The doors in the back opened up and the Pods came to a hover. The cloaks on the Pods stayed on and the Marines coming out of the back seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Sergeant, your squad needs to stay with me." said the Chief.
"Yes sir, we have your 6." said Pelko.
The Master Chief waited till the doors opened and ran out followed by the squad. He ran towards the Covenant vehicles that had been sent to investigate. Several Ghosts and some vehicles he had not seen before were present. He assumed that they were transports. 3 Elites came around the corners from a transport vehicle. The Chief opened fire with his M5AB, tossed a fragment grenade and continued to fire. Marines from Pods N and O came around the back side of the 2 other transports. A handful of Grunts and a few Jackals came pouring out of the Vehicle Pods that the Spyder had dropped. Marines from the other pods brought up the other side and Grunts and Jackals were surrounded and soon were no longer a threat. A bunch of screams could be heard from the Munitions Pods. They didn't sound as light as the Grunts. 2 Hunters from a Munitions Pod.
"SPNKrs on the Hunters now!" said the Chief with anger.
4 arrows of fire lashed through the air and hit home on the Hunters. The Hunters managed to get off 1 shot of Fuel Rod before the SPNKs hit. The Fuel Rod was coming straight for a group of Marines.
"Evade Squad H now!" said the Chief with anguish.
The Fuel Rod went about 5 feet past the group of Marines and the "shrapnel" of it deflected off the coated plating.
Just as they thought that the Pods were clear of hostiles, 2 Elites snuck up behind the Ghosts and were off. They could alert the planet and the incursion would not be a success. They had to stop those Ghosts.
Halo 2 Story (Part 3)
Date: 14 February 2002, 9:49 PM
"Pelko, take 2 Marines in the second Warthog and follow suit. Gonzalez and Harris, your with me in the first one. Remaining Marines, you are to guard the Pods, set up the weapons and vehicles inside, and fill them with ammo." said the Chief.
The Chief walked over to a Warthog and Gonzalez and Harris piled in. The Warthog peeled out of the Pod area and sped away in the direction the Ghosts went. Pelko was soon beside the Chiefs Warthog in his. The Ghosts were mere blurs in the distance, but they could not reach their destination, they must be stopped.
"Full speed ahead Sergeant, use any means necessary to stop them!" said the Chief.
"Yes sir." replied the Sergeant.
The Warthogs sped off at full speed towards the Ghosts. They had stopped moving forward across the blue soil and they started to gain on them. The Ghosts had always been faster than the Warthogs, why were the Hogs' gaining? The Ghosts must be purposing slowing down. They were now less than 1 mile away.
"Break out those SPNK's Marines, shoot once you can get a good shot. We have to take out those ghosts. Pelko, one of your Marines needs to take the right one. Gonzalez, you target the left one. Fire at will." said the Chief.
The Marines broke out the SPNKs and took aim. The Ghosts seemed to get closer and closer as the Hogs' stayed at full speed. The purple blurs that were once far away were now only 500 feet away. For some reason the Ghosts didn't turn around and return fire. Just as the Chief finished his last thought, 2 streaks of fire lanced across the sky and towards the Ghosts. The Ghosts had to know that they were being tailed. The rockets hit their mark and the 2 Ghosts exploded and the Elites bodies were thrown clear. What was once a Ghost was only scrap metal.
The ëHogs pulled alongside the wreckage and observed.
"At least these guys are not gonna alert the Covenant Army. Not today." said Harris.
"Good shooting Marines. We must return to the Pods so we can get our invasion force ready." replied the Chief. "We should head back."
"Affirmative, Marine, load up." said Pelko.
The Marines hopped into the Hogs' and the Chief got into his Hog' as well. The Chiefs Hog' peeled away and Pelko's was not far behind. There was a humming sound coming from the Hogs' 6. A rumbling followed as the blue ground shook.
"Marines, stop your ëHog! What is that sound?" asked the Chief.
Both Hogs' came to a halt and the Marines got out. They could make out blurs in the distance, but could not make it out. The Chief however could see clearly.
"Marines, double time it to the Pods Now!." announced the Chief. "Covenant vehicles and transports en route. Go Go Go!"
Marines hopped back in and pushed the pedal to the metal. The Hogs' zipped of into the direction of the Pods. They left a trail of blue dust as they tore up the desert floor. The Covenant were alerted by the Ghosts. They must have radioed a command. They must have been dumbfounded by the fact that Humans were on their soil. The devils were on Covenant soil. With luck they might commit suicide.
"This is the Master Chief, all of you are to stop what you are doing and do as I say. Alpha Team, unload the Scorpion Shells and ready them. Bravo Team, unload the SPNKs and arm your team. Charlie Team, unload any Pods that are or near empty and line them up with 3 meter gaps to form a wall. Delta Team, set up the Warthogs and load the turrets. Echo Team, supply the Marines with a sidearm and at least an M5AB. Stock up on grenades. Go Go Go!" said the Chief.
The Covenant en route consisted of 12 Wraiths, 24 Ghosts, and 8 transport vehicles. The transport vehicles were the equivalent of 3 Scorpions long and they were shielded. They were the ground version of the Covenant Dropships. They amazingly had no defenses. They had very heavy armor and shields though. The transports also were hovercraft. They hovered only about 2 inches off the ground due to the weight. If the MC could capture one of them.....
The Wraiths stopped about 1/2 mile from the Pods. The Ghosts sped past the Wraiths and pushed into the base. The Transports kept going and soon were at length with the Ghosts. Wraiths 1/2 mile away, Ghosts and Transports en route, perfect day for a barbeque.
The Marines had set up the Pods into a "wall" and the Scorpions were set up. The Marines were positioned behind the Pods and were not going to come out unless they had to. The Warthogs were set up inside if the Covenant got any closer. The Scorpions cannons burst and white streaks of lightning lashed out and toward the Wraiths. They hit their targets and several of the Wraiths burst into flame. The Wraith number was cut in half. The remaining Wraiths fired and the Blue Lashes arched and hit the Pod walls. They deflected and the burst made the ground rumble near where they had hit. The hit made the wall fall over. The Marines ducked as the Pod fell forward away from the Marines. They no longer had any protection. The hit from the Wraiths only gave time for the Scorpions to reload their shells and fire. The white arrows flashed across the desert and buried themselves into their targets. The Wraiths exploded leaving only shrapnel.
Meanwhile the Covenant were gaining position, the 2 Warthogs the Master Chief and Pelko were in were only now entering the area of the Pods. They parked the Warthogs in the back of the area and went up to the Marines.
"Pelko, and another Sergeant. Then pick the forces best snipers. Go Go." ordered the Chief.
"Yes Sir."
The Sergeants and 2 of the Marines returned. They introduced accordingly.
"Corporal Harris sir."
"Lance Corporal Naffziger sir"
"Load up in the Warthogs, sniper grab your rifles. Sergeants in the back. Go Go Go." ordered the Chief.
The 6 loaded up the Warthogs and were off. The Chiefs plan was to disable and use as many of the Covenant Transports as they could. They were going to get the Marines in them and take them to wherever they came from. They were going to launch a few Jackhammers and disable the engines. The take care of the units inside. With the warthogs this should not be a problem. While this was taking place the battle was still going on. The Scorpions kept launching shell after shell onto the Covenant forces. They were ordered not to fire upon on the Transports with the Scorpions. Large numbers of Ghosts were still en route and the Transports were as well. They all knew that Covenant numbers would increase drastically very soon if they were not held off. The Transports were in range and they had to work quickly. The Warthogs circled around as 2 Jackhammers slammed into the hull. The shields on the vehicle flickered and went out as the next rounds hit the back. The vehicle shuddered and then stopped moving and dropped to the ground. The back door was forced open as 15 Elites exited the vehicle. The Warthogs circled the group as the Elites were mowed down by the Warthogs chain cannon. The Chief had a sudden thought and jumped out as only a few Elites were left.
"Stop Firing Marines!" said the Chief.
The Chief got out as only 1 Elite remained. His shields were dead and he looked fatigued. The Chief ran up to him and grabbed him in a headlock. The Elite groaned and struggled. The Chief dragged him into the Transport and dropped him. His black armor glistened in the desert sun. The Chief was going to have to give him truth drugs and then get him to navigate to the Covenant base that they came from. They only needed to win this battle to save Humanity....
Halo 2 Story (Part 4)
Date: 21 February 2002, 6:40 AM
The Master Chief Threw him against the side of the Transport. The Elite was very fatigued and his shields were no longer. The Chief gave him a hard punch to one of his jaws. The Elite toppled over and did what was assumed, a cough. The Elite stood up and did not move.
"Devils, on the planet, how convenient. And the Master Chief is present, I shall enjoy your destruction. Your destruction is the will of the true gods, and we are their instrument." said the Elite.
"I'd like to see you try Covenant bastards. Harris, give it some drugs." said Pelko.
The Corporal walked over to the Elite and stared for a few moments. The Elite just stared back with its small black eyes. Harris stepped forward as the Elite made a move. It swung its arm straight into Harris's face. Harris evaded and the Elite slammed his fist into the wall. The Chief grabbed its head and squeezed. The creature struggled then gave up as he was fatigued. Harris injected the drugs into the creatures neck then backed away. The Chief let go and the creature was now loyal, for now anyway.
The Chief looked around the Transport for a computer console unit. He found a holographic panel and turned it on. The Chief engaged what seemed like a receiver of a radio.
"Tell the army to fall back and that we are no longer a threat!" ordered the Chief.
The Elite stared at the Chief then the console. He looked angry. The Chief punched him in the other jaw and ordered again.
"Tell them to fall back now you bastard!!" shouted the Chief.
He pulled an M6D Pistol and shoved it against his short small head.
"Now!!!"
The Elite stood up and walked over to the console. He pushed the transmission button and a screen appeared. Another Elite was on the screen. He was speaking the Covenant language, however it had been translated and his suit could read it. The figure on the screen looked to be pleased, he must have told him the truth.
"Yes sir, the Devils are destroyed. Their evil tools have been annihilated as well." said the Elite with the Pistol aimed at his head.
The screen went dead and the Elite turned to the Chief and stared.
"Where is the Covenant Army currently stationed?" asked the Chief.
"All military presence is in the Military Complex near the beginning of this desert. All military operations are there. Planetary defenses, Army, Naval, and Shipyard control." replied the Elite.
The Chief lowered the Pistol and asked again, nicely.
"What direction is it?" said the Chief as he aimed the pistol at his head.
"Coordinates are 64 and 24 for this planet." replied the Elite.
The Chief seemed pleased. The Chief pulled the trigger of the Pistol as the round went through the neck and out the back and into the wall. The Elite groaned and slumped over.
"Casualty of war Marines." said the Chief.
The Chief engaged the engines on the Transport and it lifted off.
"Pelko, grab the UNSC flag from the Warthog and put it on the roof." ordered the Chief.
The 2 Warthogs were loaded into the Transport as the vehicle took off. The battle had long been over and the Marines were rearming and repairing the equipment. The Transport rumbled along, but the UNSC flag waved atop the vehicle. The Marines gave out a roar as the Transport parked itself near the pods. They had the opportunity to strike, and they had little time before the Fleet would arrive at the planet.
"The Transport will enter the military complex and disable the perimeter defenses to allow the incursion to proceed. The complex will be captured and the planetary defenses will be disabled. This will allow the remnants of the UNSC fleet to engage the planet and destroy that shipyards, all military operations from orbit. Well placed tactical nukes will finish the operation. Upon capturing the complex, we will modify or re-program the planetary Plasma Cannons to fire upon the Covenant fleet that was en route to, what was, Reach. They will surely know of the situation and return here. The complex is very large, over 2 miles long." said the Chief.
"Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta teams in the Transport with me. Echo team, you are manning the Scorpions. Foxtrot, you have the Warthogs at your disposal. Golf teams through Omega; you are the foot solders. Kill anything that does not look like your fellow comrades. Give them hell, Go Go Go Marines!!" ordered the Chief.
The Marines rearmed and refitted the vehicles and weapons. Alpha through Delta teams piled into the Transport as it took its 4 inch flight and sped off. The Scorpions and Warthogs were not far behind the Transport. The Marines kept up with the vehicles and left behind human footprints in Covenant soil. The blue dirt was flipped up as the vehicles sped through the desert towards the complex.
The invasion continued along as planned. They went through miles of desert before taking a glimpse of the enormous structure. The upper portion contained the hangers for the Dropships and Seraphs. The Marines and Vehicles halted as they need to get clearance for the Transport to dock.
The Chief fiddled with the controls and an a screen came up. A Covenant Elite was speaking in the native language. The Chiefs suit had been designed to translate automatically when a language was recognized. The MJONIR knew how to speak Elite. In turn, if the Chief wanted to speak Elite, the suit would translate for him in their accent.
The Chief grabbed the now dead Elite and raised him in front of the view screen. The Chief then proceeded to confirm the message.
"Permission to dock at.....bay 12." asked the Chief into the screen.
"Permission granted warrior. I assume that the Devil threat is gone." said the figure on the screen.
"Yes, they have been destroyed." the Chief replied.
The view screen went dead and a light above a bay lit. The Transport moved to the bay and the door to the hanger closed behind them. They had to infiltrate the control center of the location to turn off the defenses guarding the complex. They had little time. The Transport came to a halt and they got underway.
"Marines, arm your weapons and grab everything you can carry. I want smooth clean deployment from the vehicle. Kill anything and everything that isn't Human. Go Go Go Marines!" ordered the Chief.
The back door of the Transport opened revealing 2 unarmed Elites in engineering clothes. The Marines fired their MA5Bs and the Elites were down. They deployed out of the Transport and into the large hanger. Numerous Elites and a few Jackals in non-combat clothing were present and they were soon rid of. They had to have troops in the complex somewhere. The Marines advanced into the hanger, killing whatever got in their way. The Chief brought up the rear packing a MA5B and an M6D. The hanger was soon empty and silent.
"Area clear sir." said a Sergeant.
There appeared to be a hallway leading up towards the center of the complex. The Complex had hangers and such on the outside whereas the control center was in a center area.
"Up that way." the Chief said as he painted a NAV point on the eyepiece that the Marines also saw.
The Marines advanced forward through that way. They found a few non-combat units and quickly made fodder of them. The kept moving through the Complex killing anything in their way. They had yet to encounter the military presence in the Complex. They rounded a corner and came into the outer ring of the center circle. In the middle stood a tower and various other small "offices" were in between them and the tower. Just as they regrouped near the entrance, the whole presence of the Complex came alive. The 'offices' flooded with Elites in combat armor, Grunts and Jackals covered them. They didn't spot the Marines and they had to act quickly. They had to disable the defenses so that the support of the vehicles and the fleet could destroy the Covenant occupation on this planet.
