Halo 2 Story (Fanfiction)

Halo 2 Story



I would like to thank Bungie for making Halo on the Xbox, and for allowing two very good books to come out. I used some information for the game’s little info book that comes with it. Also for Eric Nylund who wrote Halo The Fall Of Reach, from which I got this story from. The sentences with the “< >“ around them mean someone’s talking over the radio. This is the Revised edition. I am not finished fixing it.

Covenant and human vehicles, guns, and people list. This is for those who have never played Halo or read the books.

1.] Master Chief - Main character. You play him in the game. He is a super-soldier, wearing at advanced armor suit called MJOLNIR that protects him. It has layers of strong alloy, and a refractive coating to disperse energy hits. The armor uses a neural interface implanted into his brain so his actions are done as fast as his thinking. Also contains a layer of crystal that forms a network capable of supporting starship-grade AI. The armor uses a energy shield that’s stronger and better then the Covenants. After taking too much damage the shield depletes but soon recharges.

2.] Cortana - AI that is usually with the Master Chief. She helps him hack into alien computer systems, tells her caretaker with directional waypoints and the best available information about troop movement and strategy. She is placed inside a slot in Master Chief helmet where she then stays in the layer of crystal networks throughout the armor, which also increases his reflexes.

3.] Covenant - a group of alien races formed into one group. They find a enemy, destroy them, and then take their technology and uses it for themselves.

4.] Elite - One of the Covenant’s highest and most valued soldiers, usually the same thing as human lieutenants. Wear a full body energy shield much like the Master Chief’s but not quiet as strong. Very strong and stands roughly 8’6” tall. Smart enough to come up with brilliant battlefield tactics when they are needed.

5.] Grunts - Unlike the Elites, this race of Covenant are weak and the “chicken” race of the bunch. By themselves they are usually easy a enemy, but in groups they can be one of the most deadliest enemies you can face. They stand 5’ tall and their armor has a special life-support mechanism that gives them breathable air from their cold original planet.

6.] Jackals - Serve as the Covenant’s scouts and assassins. They have a superior sense of sight, hearing and smell. They wear body armor but it isn’t very strong and a burst of armor piercing bullets should be sufficient enough to bring them down. They do wear a Plasma shield that is very strong. They can usually hold against several Marines with their hand shield but grenades or a shot from the back will kill them. They stand 5’8” tall.

7.] Hunter - These are like the foot tanks for the Covenant. They wear thick full body armor with only a few small exposing spots. It has four different ways to make your life stop at once, their Fuel Rod Cannon, much like the Banshee’s, that they have in one hand, they had a big metal shield made of unknown alloy that is nearly unbreakable and is used for melee attacks when someone gets close. They also have around six sharp long spicks on their back that could almost cut anything, including Master Chief’s armor. The last thing they can use is their shear weight, being a couple tons because of all the metal and weapons, these guys ca crush you like a bug.

8.] Human Marines - These are the soldiers that are used in space and land, they are highly trained and yet that still isn’t enough to stop the Covenant. They can hold on by themselves for a little while but the Covenant usually have the upper-hand. There are different types of specializations, like the Rocket Launchers, the Snipers, Support, and Riflemen.

9.] Vehicles - ………………………………...........................................................

10.] Warthog - A jeep used by humans. 4x4 drive and has a LAAG or Rocket Launchers installed in the rear part. Two people can sit in front, driver and passenger, and a soldier occupying the rear weapon.

11.] Banshee - A Covenant airplane of sorts. Usually completely purple with two short stubby wings that have a flashing light. Can hover and has two quick shooting Plasma guns and one Fuel Rod Cannon.

12.] Tank {Scorpion Tank} - The human tank that have a main cannon and a secondary machine gun. One driver and shooter and four passengers can sit on the armor covering the four tracks.

13.] Tank {Covenant Mortar Tank} - A big purple fully armored hover tank. Big threat to humans, usually best to take out with rockets or grenades. Shoots big blob of Plasma that is fired up and gravity brings it back down.

14.] Ghosts - A Covenant hover craft. Shoots double Plasma guns that slow down its opponents.

15.] Shade - Appears to be a light anti-vehicle weapon but the Covenant use it for anti-infantry more often. There’s a seat directly behind the gun and a armor suite, but relies on infantry support on sides and rear for protection.

[DarkStone]

This story starts off near the end or middle end of the game. The setting is on a big base on an island where the remaining human forces and civilians are held until they can be evacuated from Earth. The Covenant has taken Earth over.

Chapter 23 SPARTANS Part 1 of 4

"Covenant Banshees on approach from the East!" Master Chief turned around to find twenty Banshees screaming their way towards him.

"Get those rocket launchers loaded up and prepare to fire!” shouted Captain George Carey. Thirty-two Rocket Launchers were loaded up and aimed their launchers, unfortunately the Banshees were really close and some already let out burning hot plasma bolts from their fuel rod cannons. With a loud bang and a bright light, thirty-two rockets flew into the air, passing and barely missing each other, hit their target. All twenty Banshees fell to the ground with a loud bang. Master Chief had to stand up and run to prevent being crushed by them. The explosions from the banshees and the plasma bolt melted and burnt twenty-seven Marines.

"Master Chief," Cortana shouted into his ear. "Jump to your right!" Master Chief didn’t know why but he did, finding out that a plasma grenade exploded right where he was just a second ago.

"Thanks, I duno what I would do without you." He picked up his MA5B Assault Rifle and started to fire at a group of Grunts. He then noticed that three more drop ships, Covenant, were just entering the battlefield. "Cortana, get the Anti-Aircraft guns to shoot at those three drop ships, there’s something different about them, their dropping them too close to the base.”

"Done, your right, I'm listening to the Covenant Battle Network, they have ten Elite Swordsmen in each of those drop ships. If they get close enough to the front line we could suffer heavy casualties. <Lieutenant, get some snipers on those hills to the west, they will be safe from Covenant fire and still have good clear shots. We need them to watch the three drop ships at this position,” Cortana sent him the information, “and fire at all that come out of them.”>

<"Understood Cortana, sending snipers group A and D with additional support from Support B and D."> The four groups of Marines ran from the bunkers near the base to a hill a little off.

Master Chief drops his Assault Rifle and picks up the Rocket Launcher. "The Anti-Aircraft guns aren't hitting their targets, too many things in the way, I'm going in. I wana take them out before they land." He runs through a trench built by the soldiers, runs past all the dead bodies of both human and Covenant, pieces of Warthogs, Covenant Mortar Tanks, Scorpion Tanks, Banshees, and other debris left from the battle. The Master Chief gets to the top of a hill, he looks over and notices the drop ships are having a hard time finding a place to land safely. They were still too far away to get a good shot though. The battle below will make it hard for Master Chief to get close enough to get a clear shot.

[DarkStone]

"Alright, I'll handle this. <Lieutenant, bring fifteen warthogs with the M41 LAAG's to this position and tell them to cover fire for the Master Chief and I.">

<“Fifteen warthogs Cortana, I hope you have a good plan because things ain't going too well. Ok, warthogs moving to their positions.”>
“Now, as soon as those warthogs begin firing run as fast as you can, I can't promise you they will last long." Cortana explained.

"Why don‘t I just drive one there?" As Master Chief.

“Because the Covenant are trying to destroy all our vehicles, the warthog is a big target, and it doesn’t help that every Covenant is looking to kill you. You will be found too easily. It would be safer if you just run through the trenches.” Cortana explained.

“Understood.“ Master Chief prepared himself and ran as soon as the warthogs got there. Hundreds of bullets and rockets screaming out of the guns overhead, Covenant plasma bolts returning the fire. He ran trying not to trip over the dead bodies or slipping on the blood filled puddles. A soldier was about to throw a Frag grenade when his arm was blown off, dropping the grenade next to a young soldier. Covered in blood, Master Chief grabbed the soldier and jumped, holding the soldier out far enough so the Master Chief’s armor doesn’t crush him. The grenade exploded, hitting his armor. Luckily it only damaged the energy shield and the soldier was fine. He got up and ran again, halfway there and with his superhuman speed he will reach the other side in a couple seconds. A Plasma grenade just barely missed his head and a soldier almost killed his whole group and the Master Chief with a rocket by forgetting to turn on the safety. When the Master Chief got to the other side and looked up, lucky the drop ships were still in the air. He aimed and fired. The rocket hit a drop ship and it exploded. He aimed at the next one and fired, hit but didn't destroy. He started to reload when the gun turret on the drop ship fired at him.

The Master Chief ducked and rolled to the left behind a piece of armor from a Mortar Tank. He looked around the piece of metal, aimed and fired. The drop ship exploded with a loud Bang. He then searched for the third drop ship in the air, but it wasn’t there. He looked down a bit and saw it just deployed its Swordsmen.

"You need to take out those Swordsmen, even those ten will cause much casualties to us." He took his rocket launcher, noticed he had only one more rocket for it, and aimed in the middle of the group, fired, and watched the rocket fly through the air. Most the Swordsmen saw it and dodged to the left and the right but three of them were hit and killed by the blast.

They all turned to the Master Chief and ran for him. Frag grenades thrown by Marines took two down but the other five just sped up. One reached the Master Chief, the Swordsmen attempted to shove the sword into Master Chief. The Master Chief quickly jumped to the left and grabbed the Covenant’s arm. The Swordsmen punched the Master Chief in the visor, making him fall backwards. The Master Chief rolled to avoid being cut in half as the Swordsmen brought down the sword. He then took his Rocket Launcher and swung it. It hit the swordsmen in the head, instantly killing it. The Master Chief wanted something lighter that had some ammo, so he ducked down onto a dead soldier and picked up his M6D Pistol. Looking up he saw that two more reached him and already started to raise their sword. The Master Chief just barely jumped up and dodged the plasma swords. He aimed the pistol with pinpoint accuracy and shot a Swordsman. The shield couldn’t stop it, and the exploding bullet killed the Covenant. The other Swordsmen charges the Master Chief, barely missing him. Master Chief turns around and does a high kick, hitting the Covenant in the back of the head. The force of the kick made the Swordsmen tumble backwards. Dead.

Master Chief dropped down near a Swordsmen body, ripping out the sword from the Elites hand. Right as he stood up the last two Swordsmen ran up to him. To the Covenant’s surprise, the Master Chief takes the sword and swings it. Cutting a Elite’s stomach, purple blood and internal organs spilling out.

The last Covenant screams in anger. The Master Chief ducks, rolls and takes out the Swordsman leg. Crying in pain he falls and bleeds to death.

The Master Chief looks around. No bullets flying, no grenades exploding. "What happened?" asked the Master Chief.

"The Covenant retreated! They all are gone, they are flying away in drop ships! We did it." A group of soldiers ran up to him. "Congratulations Master Chief, we held off the assault."

<"No you didn't," Screamed Cortana over the radio. "Look, they’re coming back!”>………………..

[DarkStone]

Chapter 23 SPARTANS Part 2 of 4

"The Covenant retreated! They all are gone; they’re flying away in drop ships! We did it." A group of soldiers ran up to him. "Congratulations Master Chief, we held off the assault."

<"No you didn't," Screamed Cortana over the radio. "Look, they’re coming back!">

Everyone looked into the sky, hundreds of drop ships were in the air. There was so many of them they blocked off the lowering sun, making the already dim land even darker. How could they fight against this, they only had about nine hundred useable troops left. Master Chief started to count how many there were in his head. Cortana noticed what he was doing. "It's four hundred thirty five drop ships, each carrying six to ten troops or one to two vehicles."

<"Cortana, what do you want us to do?"> Asked a soldier over the radio.

<"Get our Anti-Aircraft guns to take out many as they can while they are still in the air, and get our rocketeers to do the same, if we get enough down before they land it will greatly increase our chance of survival. Get the Marines loaded up and prepared and place them around the landing zone so they can pin down and surround the Covenant when they land. Get three forth of the Warthogs and half the Tanks down there too. Keep the rest up by the base, we cannot let them in. Also, I didn't want to do this, but get all the Male civilians from inside the base and arm them. We need all the support we can find.">

<"Understood Cortana, also we were able to find some undamaged Ghosts and we were able to overpower some Covenant in Covenant Mortar Tanks, and taking them. What do you want to do with those?">

<"Bring all the Ghosts down with the troops and put two Mortar Tanks at the base. Place the third Mortar Tank where it can hit the drop ships. Also bring one Ghost to the Master Chief.">

<"Ok, troops and vehicles going to their positions.">

As the drop ships tried to find a spot to land, the AA guns aimed and fired. The drop ships were soon overcome with bullets, cannons, and rockets. Many burst into flames and crashed into the ground. But they reorganized and this time shot back with the Plasma Cannons that were placed underneath the drop ship. When they cleared enough away below them to land they started to lower. As soon as the hatches opened the Covenant were under heavy fire suffering major casualties. Soon though the Marines started to run really low on ammo. In some parts of the battle they were overrun by the Covenant and had to retreat back until support came and helped them. Moments later the Master Chief and the other vehicles came. They split the Tanks, Warthogs, and Ghost into different sections, South of the landing zone, North of the landing zone, East of the landing zone, and West of the landing zone. The Master Chief had a better idea though. He accelerated forward into battle as fast as the Ghost would take him.

"What are you doing?" Cortana asked with some hesitation.

"You will see."

"Grr, will you tell me, this isn't a time for games." Master Chief didn't answer and Cortana seemed mad about it, so she just watched to see what he would do.

As Master Chief went into the landing zone which was full of Covenant un-boarding the drop ships, he navigated around grenades, drop ships both destroyed and still in one piece, but didn’t mind enough to move when a Covenant was in his way. He was speeding up to a destroyed drop ship who’s back landed on another drop ship. Because of this, the drop ship made a perfect ramp. The Ghost was going really fast when a Plasma bolt exploded in front of it, the Ghost went into the air doing a flip. While in the air Master Chief saw the Hunter from which the plasma bolt came from. When the Ghost hit the ground, the Master Chief was thrown off the Ghost.

"This isn't good, "Cortana screamed into the Master Chief's ear. "We're right in the middle of the landing zone, you and your stupid ideas, we're goners!"

"Calm down Cortana, I got it under control." Master Chief got up and looked for the Ghost. He found it, along with two Hunters right next to it. He searched the ground and only found depleted plasma rifles and pistols. He soon found a Needler right before the hunters found him. They opened up and fired Plasma bolts at him. He dodged them and he knew he wouldn't be able to kill them with the Needler at this range. The Master Chief started to charge the two Hunters, went right up to one and jumped just as the other fired a Plasma bolt at him. He ended up behind one of the Hunters and he rammed the needler into exposed flesh and pulled the trigger. The Hunter trying to turn around until he felt the pain of the Needles rushing through him. The Master Chief held the trigger, letting out many Needles into the Hunter until they all went into it. The Master Chief ran away from the Hunter as fast as he could. Then everyone around heard a loud Bang as each needle exploded at the same time. The blood went pouring out of the spot, leaving the sandy and muddy ground orange.

Master Chief then turned around to the Ghost and sprinted for it. He heard Plasma bolts scream by his head and explode a little ways off. The other Hunter was mad. Master Chief got to the Ghost, flipped it, and jumped in. The Ghost accelerated and the Master Chief aimed it at the drop ship ramp again. The Hunter wasn't good enough aim to hit him while he was on the Ghost so he got away. When he did reach the ramp he was going full speed.

[DarkStone]

"I hope this works."

"Well I would still like to know what your doing."

"I'm going to hit the ramp. Like this." Then they hit the ramp, the Ghost flew into the air. The fast speeds propelled the Ghost high enough into the air that he was level with some drop ships that were still in the air. Then the Master Chief jumped off.

"Are you crazy?! A fall from this height will kill you!" Then, just as she said that, she understood what the Master Chief was doing. When he jumped, he pushed himself into the direction of a group of drop ships. He was gong to jump onto a drop ship!
And Cortana was right, he did land on a drop ship. As soon as he did, the drop ship moved up and down because of the weight of Master Chiefs suit which weighed a half ton. He then took out two Plasma grenades and stuck them on the drop ship. He ran and jumped off the drop ship, hitting a drop ship below the last one. It was a bigger fall then he anticipated and his shield was extinguished from the fall, but he got up. He planted two Plasma grenades onto the drop ship and jumped again. He saw a tree a couple meters underneath him that he could grab onto to help stop the fall.

As the Master Chief was mid-air he heard two big explosions. He then fell next to the biggest branch on the tree, he grabbed for it and succeeded. But the branch broke from the impact of the fall and his own weight. He fell some more and hit the ground very hard on his back. A sharp pain rushed through him.

"You broke a rib doing that stunt!" Cortana sounded really worried now. It made the Master Chief a bit nervous that she was worried. He tried to stand up but he was out of breath from the fall and the pain from the broken rib kept him lying on the ground. He tried to ignore the pain but he just couldn't stand up. He was defenseless

Just then a soldier's voice was on the radio. <"Cortana, our soldiers have very low ammo. Even the Covenant seem depleted. Most are fist fighting with the Covenant. We can't hold out much longer! We must retreat to the base.">

<"Alright, get a Tank to come and pick the Master Chief up, he's injured.">

<"The Master Chief is hurt?! Oh no, this can't be good. Sorry Cortana no Tanks are useable in the area, and we have to keep the Tanks we got at the base for the soon to come invasion. We also have no more Ghosts but we do have one Warthog in the area that I'm sending over.">

The Master Chief then shouts, feeling the pain of the broken rib, "Cortana help me!" as five Covenant Elites come running toward him.

"Oh no, they don’t seem to be armed though, they might try to take you prisoner. Although that highly unlikely, the Covenant aren’t known for taking prisoners. Except for Keyes on Halo.”

"Well do something."

"I can't do anything, hopefully that Warthog will get here soon." Then the Elites came up to the Master Chief, looked at him, said some things to each other with their alien Language, and then jumped on him. The pain from the weight of the Elites on him was unbearable. He was about to go unconscious when Cortana said something.

"Remember from Halo, where we had to destroy those fusion reactors, I used your shield to destroy them. Well, that is risky but I have no other choice, forgive me if this ends up fatal John." The next thing the Master Chief knew, there was a big explosion and all five of the Elites flew off. There were some screams and big thud noises. Then he went unconscious.

**********************************************************************

[DarkStone]

"Hey, the Master Chief, he's up!"

"Alright, move aside, let me check him. Master Chief, are you ok?"

The Master Chief looks around, everything is so fuzzy and the voices came in very weak. "Where am I?"

"He's ok," Then he heard a loud noise and the ground shook. "Sorry Chief, Covenant are really hitting this base hard. You are in the Medical Center. Your fine except for the broken rib and some cuts and bruises. You'll be up in no time."

"How are we holding up Doc?" asked Master Chief. The Doctor looked at one of his nurses.

"To tell you the truth Master Chief, I don’t think we can hold on much longer, we are out of ammo, luckily so are the Covenant. But it seems the Covenant still have some drop ships full of soldiers coming this way." Then all the sudden, the doors blew open and three Elites ran in. The Doctor took out his Pistol and shot one in the head until it died. The Master Chief quickly jumped off the table and tipped it over. He was pretty much defenseless without his armor or a weapon. The Elites shot at the nurse and then at the Doctor. The Doctor ducked and rolled behind a desk. He aimed for the leg of one Elite from under the desk and shot, making the Elite fall over. He had a perfect shot at the head. BAM, he Elite died even before it had a chance of getting up. He fired and shot the third Elite in the chest, but his energy shield took the pain. The Elite then dropped on the ground and shot under the desk, hitting the Doctor in the leg. A scream came from behind the desk and the Elite smiled.

The Doctor looked at Master Chief. Even before the Doctor got up Master Chief knew what he was going to do. The Doctor took out a Frag Grenade and pulled the pin. He then stood up and charged the Elite, Master Chief trying to stop him, but it was too late. The Elite kept firing but the Doctor didn’t stop. The Doctor jumped onto the Elite and pushed him out of the room, when they fell into the hall the grenade exploded.

The Master Chief got up, the pain wasn't as bad as before. He looked around and found his MJOLNIR armor suit. He put it on, going as fast as possible, but it still took him over fifteen minutes to secure it on, and went into the hall. He looked around for something he could salvage and found the Pistol that the doctor used. It was still useable. He checked the clip and went for the Exit.

"Good to see you back Master Chief." Cortana said with relief in her voice.

"Good to be back."

[DarkStone]

Chapter 23 SPARTANS Part 3 of 4

The Master Chief got up, the pain wasn't as bad as before. He looked around and found his MJOLNIR armor suit. He put it on, going as fast as possible, but it still took him over fifteen minutes to secure it on, and went into the hall. He looked around for something he could salvage and found the Pistol that the doctor used. It was still useable. He checked the clip and went for the Exit.

"Good to see you back Master Chief." Cortana said with relief in her voice.

"Good to be back."

As the Master Chief walked down the hall, he started to hear far off explosions, and then they got louder. Soon he was hearing screams and bullet fire. He knew he was close to the battle but he couldn't find a way out.

"Hey Cortana, can you find me a way out of here?"

"Ok, give me a second," a very short pause. "Ok, it's right over this way, I'll put a Nav Marker on the way out of here." Then Master Chief saw a red arrow pointing down with numbers over it. That must be where the Exit is. The pain on his side was cooling down from the broken rib, so he started to jog to the Nav Marker. "You know how lucky you are? A normal person would of died in that fall, all their bones would of broken, no, shattered, but you got lucky. You have your reinforced bones, enhanced muscals, and the metal that is bonded with your skeleton which probably saved your life back there."

"Yes I know, but tell me, what has happened during my sleep? What time is it?" The Master Chief asked.

"You've been unconscious for five hours and it's 2138 hours. So naturally, I listened to Radio traffic and found out we were pushed back right after you fell from the tree. We've been able to hold them back, but we lost one Scorpion Tank and some of our Warthogs. Many Marines have died leaving us with about three hundred useable soldiers. That should be enough to hold back this assault but we are running really low on ammo, most the Marines are using Covenant weapons, but one more assault and we are finished. As for evacuation, they can't send in the Transporters with all the Covenant flying around."

Just then Master Chief turned the corner and was stunned. It was a very long hallway but there were bullet marks everywhere, everything was burnt by plasma and walls had big gaping holes. Doors were blown right off their frames; bodies were everywhere, all burnt or were in pieces. Explosion marks and dents everywhere. The Master Chief started to move forward, trying not to step on the bodies, but still getting his armor boots covered in purplish and reddish blood. He could hear fighting going on very close and saw the Nav Marker pointed to something, probably a door, right around the corner. Ignoring the pain in his side and the pain of seeing this horrible site, he ran for it.

When he came across the corner, he saw it was the Exit, he ran outside. In front of him was a land, but this land was full of craters, blood, bodies, debris, everything smelled, it was also getting dark outside. It was a barren wasteland, all living plants that use to live in this gorgeous land was sure to be blown away or burned down. No animals roamed the land and what use to be the perfect Vacation area, was a child's worst nightmare. He then looked for his Marines and found them a way down. He started to run down to them then turned around to see what the base looked like. Big gaping holes with burn marks all around them.

"Cortana, where are the civilians now?"

"When the Covenant started to blow away at the base, we moved them to the lower parts that are underground. We had to take out all the males to use them as support; there are only Elderly, Women, and Children in the base now. I believe around twelve thousand of them."

"Ok thanks." Then he continued down the burned and crater filled land until he got to the place where the Marines were holding.

Then he heard, "Hey look, the Master Chief is back, Yee Haa!!!" He heard some cheering and some other soldiers welcomed him back. But he didn't want to be welcomed back; he just wanted to finish off the Covenant.

The Master Chief went up to a dirty and tired looking soldier, "Private, tell me what’s happening? Where's all the Covenant?"

The Marine answered him, "They all ran away, retreated again I suppose. This isn't normal for the Covenant to fight like this. They send a big wave, when they start to really lose they retreat, then they come back with a full other wave of soldiers. They seem to be getting desperate though; the new troops they keep sending seem to be less equipped. Like only Elites have Plasma grenades and Grunts seem to only have Plasma Pistols, very few have Needlers or any other gun. They don't seem to bring in Swordsmen anymore or Hunters. And less and less drop ships are coming in, so less and less troops come. It's like they've run out of soldiers or drop ships or something." The poor Marine was out of breath, he had to sit down.

"Cortana, how long have these Marines been out here?" It took a second for Cortana to answer.

"31 hours, 21 minutes, and 45 seconds. Without sleep and short rests only in between each invasion wave. Also, I think I know what the Covenant are up to. They have a Space Ship called Heaven in space flying on top of us, that’s where the drop ships are coming from. I have unscrambled some messages that I intercepted by the Covenant." Cortana's voice got harder and louder." I came up with one conclusion; The Covenant is taking out all their troops, supplies, and anything else they can find, and bringing them to Heaven. I have reason to believe that they are going to put on a massive attack on the base, so big there's no way we could defend ourselves. They have already deployed it; they should be here in about three hours. We need to prepare! There is no way off this planet now." The Master Chief didn't know what to say. They are doomed, there's no way they could hold off an assault like that. He already had it pictured in his mind. Thousands of Covenant, Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Hunters. All charging up at the same time, killing everyone and everything in their way. The Master Chief shivered.

[DarkStone]

"Alright, then we must prepare for the Final Stand. < This is the Master Chief speaking, the Covenant are going to do another attack on us, but this attack is not the normal couple hundred Covenant soldiers trying to get to us. No. This is the Final Attack the Covenant are going to put on, this is to the death."> Just then he heard many cries and some started to breath really hard.
<"They are going to throw everything at us, all their soldiers, Vehicles, and ammo. They are not going to stop until every single last Human on the face of the earth is dead. They will be here in less than three hours. Sure we can just drop everything, hide in a corner and let them take us. But I for one am not going to let them take Earth without one final fight, even if the odds are against us!">

Then all the sudden, every single living soldier at the base who could make a noise shouted into their Mics and all 300 other soldiers heard them.

<"For Earth!"> Screamed one Marine

<"For Earth!"> Everyone else screamed.

<"For Humanity!">

<"For Humanity!">

<"For Peace!!">

<"For Peace!!">

The Master Chief was really surprised at their reaction, but was happy to see they still would die for their Planet.

"Wow, you definitely stirred something up." Congratulated Cortana.

"Cortana, is there anywhere’s else that hasn't been taken over by the Covenant?"

"Actually, yes, there is one more place, in the Atlantic, some very secret base over there. So highly secured that even I can't break the codes to get into their files, I have no clue what they do there, but they seem to be holding fine by themselves." Cortana sounded a bit annoyed because she couldn't even break the security coding into that place.

"Well, is there any chance we could transport our survivors over there?"

"No, we would be quickly overrun by Covenant. Maybe if we had a couple hundred of our own Transport ships that had some defensive systems in it, then yes. And I was able to send a distress call a while back but I can't seem to get Radio contact with them anymore, the Covenant seem to intercept and stop our long ranged Radio calls."

The next two hours the soldiers got check-ups by Medics and Doctors, they sent out search teams looking for any Human or Covenant survivors that got lost and ammo or useable vehicles. They actually found a bunch of ammo in the first battle area, lots of Assault Rifle ammo and Frag grenades. Each soldier got some ammo, grenades, Plasma and Fragment, and were each given a second weapon, mostly Plasma Pistols and other Covenant weapons. They found some injured but still alive Covenant that they took prisoner and found some injured Marines.

**********************************************************************

[DarkStone]

"Well, they will be here in fifteen minutes, all able Marines are ready to try holding back the Covenant attack. Although, I talked to most of them they all believe they are going to die. I never really liked or supported the SPARTAN Project when they first revealed it to the public. But after what I've seen today, I'm very happy they sent you to Earth. Master Chief, I will follow you to death and then some. The soldiers seem to get more confidence and relieved when you are around them. You are a Miracle." Master Chief couldn't say anything, he just Saluted the Marine and continued going around the base.

"Master Chief, my one remaining Satilite has a fleet of drop ships and Banshees so large, I counted them and got three hundred Banshees, seven hundred fifty two drop ships carrying Mortar Tanks, Ghosts, and Shades, and another eight hundred and seventy seven drop ships full of six to ten troops. But the strange part is that I also have another large fleet coming in from the South. That’s weird because the Spaceship Heaven is North of us and why would they want to split up their fleet like that? So I investigated into it and counted one thousand one hundred five drop ships, but these aren't Covenant drop ships, they are UNSC drop ships. But how could this be? Each of those drop ships holds about twelve soldiers. Where could of all those soldier come from?"

The Master Chief took some time to think of this. "Didn't you send a distress call to that other base before the Covenant stared to intercept them? Maybe they had enough soldiers that they could spare some, or a couple thousand..."

"Even if they did get the distress call, the Covenant were hitting them hard and I doubt they had so many Marines that they could spare a bunch of them."

"Unless they had more then just Marines."

"What do you mean?" Asked Cortana curiously.

"Well, you said it was a secret base that not even you could hack into. Well maybe they were creating Combat Robots or some sort of weapon that could easily beat the Covenant."

Cortana pondered over that idea. "It's possible, ever since the Covenant started to fight us, we have been putting more money into finding a way to help fight them. When they get close enough I will Radio them."

<"Cortana! Here they come! from the North West. All Marines and Support, get in position. This is to the death!">

The Master Chief looks up to see a big blob of purple, green, and blue flying toward the base. He heard a couple Oh My Gods and No Ways over the Radio. Then the drop ships started to open up. Instead of seeing lots of drop ships, Master Chief's view was full of green and light blue Plasma.

"Find cover, hurry!!!" The Plasma started to hit ground. There were some screams and explosions. The Master Chief ran into a underground bunker that was quickly built during the three hour break. He could hear the Plasma hit the top of the bunker. Soon though the Plasma shots stopped to allow for the drop ships to land. They landed and deployed their troops twenty drop ships at a time. The Marines came out of hiding and started to fire. thousand of bullets from Assault Rifles, Pistols, Bullet trails from Snipers, Rockets and Plasma all at once flew through the air at the same time. It was actually a pretty site, but Master Chief ignored that idea and fired. The Covenant had some trouble getting out of their drop ship safely so the drop ships in the air started to fire again.

The Marines ran for cover again as Blobs of Plasma rained all over the area. When they stopped the Master Chief looked at the landing zone and saw already hundreds of Covenant were on the ground.

The Master Chief opened fire, but not at the troops, instead at the drop ships. Soon the Marines caught on to what he was doing and also fired at the drop ships. The Covenant were confused so the foot soldiers started to fire at the Marines to get their attention. Soon the Master Chief plan worked as the drop ships took heavy fire they started to explode, some of the explosions were big enough that other drop ships started to explode. The destroyed drop ships then fell and crushed any Covenant or drop ships that were below it. The site was amazing. Red and yellow fires all over, purple blood flying everywhere. Green and blue Plasma with the red and yellow explosions plus the addition of purple blood made even fireworks look dull. The Covenant didn't expect this and soon reorganized and fired back.

This time though some Marines had no where to hide because the Plasma melted away all the metal in the area and the drop ships were high enough to hit them in the craters and trenches. Most who weren't in the bunkers attempted to run for them, some made it, others burned to the bone from Plasma fire. The bunker that Master Chief was in was made of cement, little bit of metal, and dirt. It was starting to fall apart and cave in. The Master Chief jumped to the ground and curled up into a ball. The bunker couldn't take anymore and collapsed.

Master Chief was covered in dirt and the pressure of the dirt hurt the Master Chief and his shield. Luckily there wasn't too much dirt and he survived. He had a air filter and a extra little oxygen tank which he used to breath through. As soon as he stopped hearing the loud thuds and hisses of the Plasma hitting the ground he tried to get out.

"There's five feet of dirt on you, if any of the other soldiers got hit as bad as you did, their dead, hurry up and dig yourself out." informed Cortana.

"I'm trying." answered Master Chief. He dug and dug until he saw the sky, which was almost as dark as the dirt. He was digging himself out, when he had his upper body dug out he heard a very loud thundering noise. He turned around and saw, just as he had imagined earlier, thousands of Covenant running up toward him, Elites first, Jackals second, Grunts third and Hunters last. Then Ghost screamed past the Elites and went forward as fast as they could. Behind the Hunters were Mortar Tanks and the Master Chief saw that a bunch of Grunts were carrying Shades.

All the sudden literally millions of armor piercing bullets screamed above the Master Chief and tore up the advancing line of Covenant. Body pieces flew everywhere, blood squirting and hitting every Covenant behind them. The Master Chief was shocked. He turned around and saw hundreds, no thousands UNSC drop ships. Each with their own LAAG gun manned by a Soldier. Millions of little yellow bullets flew and ripped through Covenants. It was so amazing Master Chief just couldn't explain how it felt.

Cortana's voice went over the Radio, it was full of excitement and relief. <"Yes, you finally made it! The Master Chief and I are at this position that we are sending to you General.">

<"Understood Cortana, we are on our way."> answered the General. The Master Chief swore he heard that voice before. Soon a drop ship came and picked up the Master Chief. It was full of Marines.

"We are going to drop off you at a Battleship just 3 miles off the coast Master Chief, we have some people you might want to meet and some information that you might want to know." Master Chief looked at the boy, he must of been only seventeen or eighteen and he was a Petty Officer. Like he once was.

The drop ship left the battle and flew towards the coast. It felt relieving that he was leaving. He took off his helmet and noticed that his face was completely covered in sweat.

Chapter 23 SPARTANS Part 4 of 4

"We are going to drop off you at a Battleship just 3 miles off the coast Master Chief, we have some people you might want to meet and some information that you might want to know." Master Chief looked at the boy, he must have been only seventeen or eighteen and he was a Petty Officer. Like he once was.

The drop ship left the battle and flew towards the coast. It felt relieving that he was leaving. He took off his helmet and noticed that his face was completely covered in sweat.

Most the other drop ships also left the battle and came back to the fleet of ships in the water. The ones that stayed though were there to evacuate the civilians. Right before they left the Covenant secretly put a tracking device on one of the drop ships.

**********************************************************************

In the little dark room, the Master Chief waited for the General. He kept his armor suit on because the Covenant aren't far away and it would be better if he had his armor on in case they did attack. He looked around, small table, two chairs, and a small lamp, no windows, posters, or papers. Master Chief didn't feel like sitting down so he stood next to a chair. It was only about two minutes before the door opened. In came a man, Master Chief saw it was the General. He couldn't see his face because it was too dark but he saluted him. After the General returned the salute, he sat down and offered Master Chief a chair.

"I would prefer to stand Sir." the General looked at him for a second, at least the Master Chief thought, and then looked at his hand. He pressed a button on it and spoke.

"Ok, bring it in." Then a lady came in with a clear piece of glass with a keyboard stuck to it. Master Chief recognized that as a holo computer. The lady placed it on the table and left without a word. "Master Chief, as you know, the Covenant are winning in this war. They have taken over many Human Planets and colonies. It was all bad until they found the location of Earth. We have defended Earth for four years now and we have done well. Why haven't the Covenant just Glassed the Planet, I don't know. Maybe they want some nature resource from the Planet or they want to kill everyone personally on Earth before they Glass it. Either way, we must stop them. We are losing many Marines and civilians that’s why the UNSC has ordered for the evacuation of Earth. Probably the hardest decision they had ever to make. But since evacuation was nearly impossible with all the Covenant fleets circling Earth then help had to be sent to protect Earth. The Covenant always had the advantage in space fighting, if only Captain Keyes was still alive then maybe we would of had a chance."

The Master Chief felt sick just thinking about Captain Keyes because it reminded him of what had happened on Halo. He has been trying really hard to forget it but he never could.

"So we were isolated from everyone else until one of our ships got by. We found that the Covenant had found all the locations of the Planets that Humans settled on. Not everyone approved on the SPARTANS Project but they all wished some were still left alive. Well we have been holding for a while now and the Covenant are getting inpatient so just weeks ago they ordered all troops to report to the Covenant Space ship called Heaven. As you can see some, not all, have made it here already. There are still more Covenant on route to Heaven, about seven times more then the assault from today. They want Earth, not to Glass or to kill Humans, but they want it for some special reason. And I want you to find out what it is they want."

Taking this in, Master Chief spoke, "How am I suppose to do that?"

"You might possibly be the best soldier ever born, but that doesn't mean you can't die, remember that. You will need back-up for this mission." Then a hologram popped up, showing Earth, the moon, and a big Covenant Cruiser titled Heaven. We have captured a Covenant drop ship and it's pilot. We brainwashed him, not that it was easy, into believing that the drop ship is full of injured Covenant POW's that he has to bring to the Cruiser. He doesn't really know that he has Human soldiers instead of POW's. When you get into the Cruiser then you have to force your way up to the Control Room and let Cortana take the information that we need and then leave. When you get back, we will study the information and find out what they want." The hologram showed a route through the ship to the Control Room.

"Ok, but how am I suppose to do this? We all know that Human Marines can only last so long before the Covenant get to them. How am I suppose to get through all that with nine others without being overrun?"

"Ah, now we have a problem, but I already have the solution. Do you remember Reach? The Planet that you were trained on? Where you lost more then enough friends and soldiers? The Planet that was Glassed right as the Pillar Of Autumn jumped into Slipspace? Well, more then just you made it out Master Chief." Then the General turned the lamp into his face. The face he once knew and loved, but now older, with wrinkles, full head of gray hair, but the big black eyes were the same, not blinking, not Human.

[DarkStone]

"Mendez." Was the only word the Master Chief could say.

"That right Master Chief, but now I'm a General. After I left you, the first SPARTANS, I went to Reach to teach the next batch. When the Covenant found and assaulted Reach, we escaped right in time. We couldn't radio anyone because the Covenant hit our escape ship hard enough to destroy that part. With me was all the SPARTAN 2 kids, no, soldiers and when we escaped, we flew towards Earth. The only place where we actually had time to train them. But the problem was there still wasn't enough of them to really turn the tide of the war so we stole more kids, kids who weren't checked for special attributes like you were. Soon we had over a thousand kids in the SPARTAN 2 Project. The parents had no clue because we cloned all their kids. Of course some couldn't take it and died. Many died when we injected them with the body and reflex boosters and when we did surgical stuff to them. But we still had a bunch left. They might never be as fast, strong, or smart as the original, but they are still good. And that’s who you are taking with you Master Chief, eight of the best SPARTAN 2 soldiers."

The Master Chief didn't know what to say. He just stood there, thinking, all those years he's been alone, the only freak left from a terrible experiment. "You said ten will be going, so those eight best SPARTAN 2 soldiers and me, that makes nine. Who else is coming?"

General Mendez took a second before he answered that. "Yes, the tenth one," He hit the little button on his hand. "Send him in." In came a man, roughly Master Chief's size, wearing civilian cloths. Master Chief at once recognized him.

"James, but I thought you were dead."

James looks at him, smiles, and sits down in a chair. "Hey John, no, I'm alive and kicking."

Mendez interupted, "When we escaped from Reach we found him floating in space, unconscious, so we quickly picked him up and he came back to us. He has helped me train the new SPARTANS."

"So, when do we start?"

"Right now."

**********************************************************************

Master Chief stood next to the Covenant drop ship, waiting and watching his new team of SPARTANS as they checked, double checked, and triple checked all the equipment. Master Chief made sure that they were prepared for anything, making them bring along extra oxygen tanks and extra ammo. He didn’t feel like being stuck in a Covenant Spaceship without any ammo for his weapon. The SPARTANS were almost done, when all the sudden a alarm went off. Mendez’s voice came over the intercom, “Battle Stations everyone, Covenant on approach!” Then over a secure line Master Chief heard his voice, “<Master Chief, get your men out of here. Quickly before there are too many of them. Don’t worry about us, we will be fine.>“

“< Understood, we will be gone in two minutes.>“ Then he changed his radio to the SPARTANS, “< Alright, lets get out of here, we are leaving in two minutes, hurry and get loaded into the Covenant drop ship.>“ The SPARTANS all quickly jumped onto the drop ship and got seated. A second after the doors closed, the brainwashed Elite was let out from a room. He ran straight to the drop ship, thinking he is so lucky to be let off. He started up the drop ship and took off into the sea of darkness.

************************************************************************

[DarkStone]

Master Chief could feel the drop ship slowing down.

"We must be getting close." Cortana informed. "<Ok SPARTANS, prepare for landing, make sure you’re loaded up and get ready for some resistance in the Landing Dock. This shouldn't be too hard, the Covenant are completely focusing on Earth. The Covenant presence here will be low, be careful though. I'm loading in the map of the Cruiser into everyone's personal AI, so if you get lost just use it. >"

Then, the doors opened and they all jumped out, the Covenant all looked at them, not knowing what to do, and the SPARTANS opened up. The Covenant panicked and were easily taken down. They moved quickly through a door and went in a single filed line through the tight corridors. Master Chief in the front, he turned the corner and found two Grunts playing some game with a ball. Master Chief lifts his Assault Rifle and fired, the Grunts were suprised and one armor piercing bullet went through a Grunt’s environment suit, hitting his breather, suffocation the Grunt. The other one saw his buddy die so he ran. Bobby, the second SPARTAN in line, shot from his Assault Rifle, tearing up the Grunt. Blue blood squirted all over the purple walls. They moved on stepping over the Grunts. They came to a big open place with little cover, lots of doors though.

"<Should we go Master Chief? I don’t think it's safe. >" Asked Ron.

"<Yea, we are going. Watch each other’s back and the doors. Cortana which door do we want to go through? >"

"<This one. >" And a Nav Marker Showed up on all their HUD's pointing to a small door. They slowly moved out, watching each door carefully, spreading out so a grenade couldn't take them all out. They were in the middle when a door opened. Out came two Elites, seven Grunts, and five Jackals. Sara, the best sniper of that SPARTAN 2 Project, quickly turned around and shot the two Elites straight in the head before any of the Covenant knew they were even there. The Grunts followed the bullet line with his eyes and saw where they came from.

"There they are!" screamed the Grunt, Cortana translating what he said.

A Jackal ran back inside the door and called for back up. The Jackals stood in a line putting their shield in front, making hitting them impossible. Greg, a very good throw chucked a grenade, it landed behind them. A loud blast of fire and shrapnel flew, ripping into the Jackals. Five Grunts were left; they picked up their hands and dropped their weapons. The Master Chief opened fire on them. They quickly fell to the ground.

The SPARTANS quickly ran for the door. A big Blast door to their right opened. Revealing three Ghosts, four Hunters, five Elites, twenty Grunts and fifteen Jackals.

"<Looks like they know that they have SPARTANS on the ship. Be careful. >" The Covenant charged them.

"<Assault Rifles take out the three Ghosts first, see if you can keep them in useable condition though. Snipers get the Hunters, and then everyone get the foot soldiers. >" Ordered the Master Chief.

Guns went off, Plasma and Metal flying everywhere’s. The Ghost came screaming towards them, Master Chief had to roll to avoid being hit. Bobby chucked a Plasma grenade onto one Ghost, The driver screamed and jumped off. Too late, he was burned to the bone from the blast. The two snipers fired at the exposed spots in the Hunters armor. They dropped two of them but the other two seem to be covering the exposed spots. The Master Chief saw that another Ghost was charging him. He prepared himself, 3, 2, 1, and jumped. He knocked the Elite out of the Ghost, it came down from hovering and the bottom hit the ground. Sparks flying until it crashed into a wall. It was dented in but still useable. Penny ran to the Ghost and jumped in. the Master Chief got off the Elite and kicked it. The Elite screamed, but it got up. The Master Chief took his Assault Rifle and rammed it up the Elites mouth. Then pulled the trigger. The armor piercing bullets flying through the back of his head. The Elite dropped dead. The other Ghost was under heavy fire and soon exploded with a big yellow and green explosion, Plasma flying every where’s, hitting a SPARTAN but he got it off before his shield ran out.

The foot soldiers opened fire, making the SPARTANS back up. They ran behind some Covenant containers.

"Formation A2 now SPARTANS!" Barked James. Master Chief watched how his partners got into a single file line facing the Covenant. The first person ducked down and the others behind him followed. They started to fire at the Covenant, some firing above the leaders head, some to his side, and some underneath him. Master Chief understood this now. All of them can shoot at the Covenant but the Covenant only have one target. Soon though the leader's shield ran really low so he rolled to the right and jumped in back. Now another SPARTAN was in front and taking the hits while the other fire around him. Penny took the Ghost and went for the Hunters. She shot at them, their thick and massive armor taking the hit, but melting at the same time. Soon she got through them and killed one.

She turned to finish off the other when it shot a Plasma bolt at her. Even with fast reflexes she couldn't dodge that. The Plasma bolt hit her in the right arm instead of the Vehicle; She flew off 60 ft from the Ghost, landed on her back. When she sat up, she looked at her right side, her right arm was gone and the armor around her arm was burned off. Then she felt the pain, screaming. The Hunter ran up to her and was about to step on her when Master Chief took his Assault Rifle and found some exposed flesh. The Hunter fell with a loud thud.

The formation that new SPARTANS were using soon worked. All Covenant forces were eliminated, at least the ones who came from the Blast Door.

"Master Chief, we have to get her some help. She's going to bleed to death." Said Bobby. The Master Chief remembered what he was told once; there is a difference between wasting lives and using lives. Would leaving her here be wasting or using? He had no choice.

"Ok Bobby, take her to the Land Dock and give her medical attention. We will be in contact so if anything goes wrong just say so."

"Understood, and thank you Master Chief." Then Bobby picked her up and left.

They quickly then went through the small door with the Nav Marker on in.

**********************************************************************

[DarkStone]

They went through the rest of the Ship without any trouble. Right in front of the Master Chief was the door to the Control Room.

"<I read no Covenant presence in the room. Strange, where could they be? I have a bad feeling about this. >" Cortana's voice meant she wasn't kidding.

"<Alright lets go and get off this Ship ASAP. >" They moved and the door opened. Inside were big screens and holo panels. Everything was purple, green, yellow, or blue. Big instruments even the Master Chief has never seen before. All the Screens showed Earth. Big holograms showed numbers and weird alien symbols. "So where do you want me to put you Cortana?"

"You see that panel over there? Put me in there." The Master Chief went up to it, he remembered this, it all seemed familiar, just like in Halo when he never seen that before but he knew what and how to use it. Very strange but he dismissed the thought. He took her out of the back of his Helmet and put her in.

"Ok this will take a minute." The SPARTANS stood there for two and a half minutes.

Then all the sudden Cortana came back and her holo picture showed up, "Get out of here now! Get me out of here! There's not time to explain. C’mon Chief, get me out of here and run, we only have seven more minutes, RUN!" Before the Master Chief could ask he grabbed her from the slot and ran. Nav Marks popped up every where’s with a big number going from one to thirty three and little numbers telling how far they are away from them. Also a countdown number showed up on the button of the HUD. It said 06:52:64. The SPARTANS didn't understand but the Master Chief told them to run so they ran.

"<Everyone, run to the Nav Markers in order from one. The Covenant put Heaven into Self-Destruct mode. Parts will explode until it reaches the main power source and then it will all go. I have estimated the time until it reaches the power source, things will be quiet here for only a couple minutes until the explosions catch up to us, just run! >" That got everyone going. They ran from Marker to Marker. Seven, Eight, Nine. 06:10:02, 06:03:67, 05:59:45. When they were half way there Master Chief heard an explosion, he turned around and saw that a SPARTAN was up against a wall, sliding down with blood sticking on the wall. He looked to the other side and saw a big gaping hole with burn marks around it.

"C’mon lets go!" They kept running, 03:51:13, and didn't see any more explosions but still heard and felt them. They finally got to Nav Marker thirty-three, went up to the door, it slide open and they ran to the drop ship. Bobby was there with Penny, who seemed still alive. They were only Meters from the drop ship when a big boom came from underneath the drop ship. Heaven violently shook, throwing most the SPARTANS down to the ground. The metal ground underneath it blew open, the drop ship exploded, fierce fire screaming all around it. A big piece of shrapnel flew and almost took Master Chief's head off, but he just barely dropped to the ground quick enough.

"Oh no! Now what?!" He heard a SPARTAN say. Master Chief looked around, saw a sign over a door, it was in a Alien language.

"Cortana can you translate that?" then the words went blurry in Master Chief’s eyes, then reappeared saying Banshee Hanger. "Everyone go into that door!" He points at it. They all ran, the door opened and twenty Banshees were parked in front of them.

"Oh yea!" They all ran to one, jumped in and got use to the controls. 00:14:35. They got the hang of it quickly thanks to the AI they each have. They lifted up and flew out to a wall, but this wall was also the door to the outside. It was blue and the Master Chief had to get out and let Cortana open it. 00:03:62. He quickly jumped in as the others flew out, without having to worry about the vacuum because there was no air in the hanger. The Banshee lifted up and screamed out. 00:00:99. The Master Chief heard a noise so loud, its like standing next to a nuclear warhead when it explodes. Then he felt really hot, even his climate controls couldn't cool it down. It almost killed him but he kept going.

**********************************************************************

"So what we have learned is that the Covenant want to keep Earth in one piece because they seem to think that Earth has some religious value, something connected to this other race called ‘Forerunners’ and they want to find it. But what could Earth hold that has anything to do with the ‘Forerunners’? Is it possible that these “Forerunners” could have been on Earth before and left something of importance? Or do the Covenant believe we have some sort of connection to the ‘Forerunners’?”

The Master Chief raises his hand and asks, "So what’s our Mission General?"

"Your mission, Chief, is a important one. When Cortana was searching for the information, she also came across some locations, and we believe those locations are the Covenant home Planets and maybe where the answers to the questions are. We need those answers, understand? We must know what is it on Earth that is related to the ‘Forerunners’.".......................
