Chapter 1- Pilot
“Hey, Tarma!” A man with red hair and blue eyes with a staff sergeant patch on his shoulder and a name tag that read R.Henderson with two Medal of honors on his chest yelled as he got out of the pelican and went towards the barracks, he had just gotten back from a battle that lasted almost 15 weeks.” Staff Sergeant Henderson, we have been expecting you! The platoon is in Barracks 25, I have to deal with some messed up communications with Corporal Jared when he gets here, just go in there and wait until I get back.” A man with brown hair and green eyes with the same things on except his rank patch was a Lieutenant patch and his name tag read J. Tarma with a Distinguished service cross and a Victoria cross on his chest said as marines and ODST got off their pelicans and headed towards the barracks and their pelicans flew off towards the pick up sites. ”Hey, Henderson's here guys!” A young man with red hair and blue eyes with a patch of a First class private and a name tag saying A. Gray spouted as Henderson opened the door. ”Finally, we have been waiting for hours.” A man with Red hair and blue eyes with a sergeant patch on his solder and a name tag that read E. Cass with two Bronze stars said to Henderson.” It's not like we haven't waited this long before, hell one time we had to wait 17 days just for crews to remove debris off the fucking road!” A man with black hair and brown eyes with a Third class private patch a name tag that read G. Gato said while sitting up and rubbing his eyes.” The hell you guys have been doing?” Henderson asked. “ I've just been counting how many body bags have passed our barracks, there's been about 783 so far, up wait no make that 785.” Gray said.” I saw most of em head towards Med row when I was heading here.” Henderson said.” I have just been talking to other guys as they come in and go into other rooms.” Sargent Cass said.” I have just been jerking off in the bathroom, no I'm just messing with ya, I've just been sleeping.” Gato said and everyone's faces were looking at him sideways.” Okay, but where's everyone else Henderson? They were still there when we left.” Sargent Cass asked and Henderson's face turned pale.” You guys have heard about EMP's taking out transport pelicans, right?” Henderson asked the three.” Ya, like 16 were taken out  but I mean, they got some of them back but most of them they couldn't find.”
Gray said.” Well they were on the pelicans they could not find, but they are still searching for em.” Henderson said.” Shhh, be wwwwwwwww, boom!” They heard the sound of bumblebees crashing outside.
Chapter Two- Big trouble in Little Martin base
”Multiple ships in orbit have abandoned ship and their pods are crashing here, get out there and help!” Somebody yelled over the loudspeaker.” Shit that thing landed outside the window!” Gato said as soldiers came out of rooms and ran towards the exit to go help and they would soon follow them.” Shhh, Be Wwwwwwwwwwww, boom!!” the sound of a few other bumble bees crashing into the base.” One hit med row!” Their LT yelled as he got to them. ”Tarma, the fucks going on?” Gray asked the Lt as he stopped to catch his breath. ”The dusk until dawn, Night under sun, and the Morning Tide are being boarded and they have to abandoned ship, all of em, these are their life boats, shit over there, all of you, with me, we have to go help with the pelicans, fuck incoming!” The LT yelled as a pelican was coming in as its wing had been hit by a bumblebee and was torn off. ”shhhhhhhhh, errrrrrrr, boom!” The pelican roared as it hit the tarmac.” holy shit, this fucking place is turning to absolute shit, we gotta get the fuck out of here.” Gato said as he crouched down and covered his head.” Gato no we aren't, we are marines damnit, now go act like one!” The LT yelled. ”got somebody over here! Looks like a pilot!” Henderson yelled as he was clearing off a cockpit window to see in.” ehhhhhhhhhh! Shhhhhhh, got it open. God Dammit, he's dead.” Henderson said as they looked at two dead pilots from a pelican crash.” Gray, Gato, and Cass, get in there and find survivors.” The LT ordered. “ hup, thud, hup, thud, hup, thud.” the cockpit of the pelican sounded as the three went in. ”ehhh, ching. The doors open guys, no survivors, Jesus.”Gray said as he looked at all of the dead bodies.” Cough cough, over here, cough.” A marine said in a seat in the corner.” Over here! Don't worry man you're going to be fine ehhhhh, pushshsh. ”Gray said as he and the other two ran to him and lifted off his seat harness and pulled him out.” This the only one?” the LT asked them as he helped pull him out.” Yes sir, only one alive.” You five! Help us with this door on this bumble bee!” A captain yelled at them from beside the pelican where a bumble bee had landed.” ehhhhhhhhh! Move out of the way, bang, bang, bang!” A marines shotgun rang out  behind them as he shot off the airlock reinforcements on the door.” shhhhh. Get in there now!” The captain yelled.” Help me, ahh, I'm bleeding!” soldiers yelled while they were strapped to the seats of the bumblebee. “ don't worry, we are going to get you guys some help just give us a minute.”Henderson said to them.” Cass, Gato!” The LT yelled at them.” Yes sir?” Cass and Gato answered.” Help get these wounded to med row now!” The LT barked as wounded men and women bleed out and died around him.” Incoming!” A privet yelled as a longsword came flying down bursting into flames.
Chapter 3- Under the Bunker
” Shit! get out of the way!” Henderson yelled.” Boom!” The explosion of the longsword sent shock waves through the ground and the air.” All units report to your platoon bunker.” A voice said over the radios and the intercom.” Get these wounded there first!” The LT Said as he grabbed stretchers off a supply warthog and loaded wounded onto it.” Get in now!” A warthog driver yelled to the LT and his squad as he swerved to stop.” Come on get in, the wounded is going to be saved James.” Henderson said to the LT as he forced him into the warthog.” Phantoms!” A sergeant yelled as phantoms flew into the base and started dropping covenant troops all around the base.” Get out and shut the door now!” The driver barked at them as he swerved and stopped in front of the bunker door.” Pew pew. Ahhhh!” the driver yelled as a grunt shot him in the back with a plasma pistol.” Get him in here! Draaaaaa!” A marines assault rifle sounded as he killed the grunt.” Errrrrrrrr shhh.” The door sounded as an ODST closed it.” Clear the table and get a medic, now.” Henderson said to Cass.” I need light. Here you go.” The medic said as a marine shined his flashlight on the driver.” Dammit, he's dead, the plasma ripped through his lung and the other one hit his liver.” The medic said as the driver's blood started to form a puddle around his face and the table.” Get a body bag.” The LT ordered Gray.” Let me in! Let me in please! Oh god no, no no no no no pew pew! Ahh agg.” A marine yelled outside of the bunker before he died.” How long is that fuckin door going to hold Sarge?” Said Gato” It's going to hold for maybe, 2 days if they don't use heavy charges.” Said Henderson.” Ya, if they don’t, you know that is a pretty big if.” Said Cass. “ Well if they do, we will send them back where they came from with their tails in between their legs.” A captain said from the back of the room.” Or we will end up in a puddle of our own blood with plasma burns everywhere.” Said Gato.” Either way some of us die, either it's all or some.” Cass said to Gato.”Well that's bleak.” said Grey.” No, just when you fight long enough, you begin to accept the fact that you are going to lose people.” Cass said to Gray as everyone started to prepare a defense in front of the door at him. ‘Cheeeeeese! Boom!” The sound of a covenant light charge trying to blow up the door.” Shit! They are trying to blow the damn door!” Cass yelled.” No shit sherlock.” Gray Said to Cass.” Get behind cover and get ready for a fight!” A NCO yelled as he was signaling his men to get behind cover.” Cheeeeeese boom! Ahh!” As covenant heavy charge went off and blew the doors and the shrapnel from it had hit and killed the only ODST in the bunker.” Start firing now!” The LT yelled as the men began to fire.” Bang Bang! Ting! Argh! Wart wart wart!” The Hail of bullets and death filled the air.” Focus fire on that Elite!” Henderson yelled. ” Thhhhhhhhh! Ahh! Shit!.” Gato yelled as a plasma shot hit his shoulder.” Medic! Man down man down!” The LT and Cass were yelling while firing.” Cover me! Hu hu hu hup. You’re going to be fine man just hang in there.” The medic said as he ran over to Gato and started dragging him into a back room.” Hunters!” Henderson called out as hunter´s started to come in.” Shooooooooow! POW POW! Boosh! Boosh!” The sound of the hunters cannons on their arm firing created this deafening sound as they smashed through the support beams and walls of the bunker.” Shit! Move away from the- OH SHIT!” The other squad captain yelled as one of the beams were about to fall on him and his men.”Crash! CAPTAIN!” One of the soldiers in the squad yelled as their captain was crushed by the falling beam.” Everyone, get to the back room now!” Henderson yelled.” I’m not leaving him to die damn it!” A marine yelled at Henderson.” Smack! Ehh, thud. Stay right there!” Henderson barked at the marine as he smacked him with his rifle and hauled him into the backroom.” I’m not leaving him to die! Get the fuck out of my way! That’s my brother goddamnit! I’m not leaving him! Ehh! Shit, damn it.” The marine screamed as he tried to push Henderson and his buddy out of the way until stopping and breaking into tears.” It’s alright solder, it’s alright. Everyone start barricading the door, hopefully it will buy us enough time to find an exit.” Henderson said.
Chapter 4- Damn blood
” Thud, THud, THUd, BOOSH!” The sound of the support beams and walls in the front room collapsing made the enemies in there run out as the ceiling was collapsing from losing the support.” Alright, Cass, Grey, and the LT, you guys are going to try to find a way out. The NCO, you are going to stay here and guard.” Henderson being the staff sergeant of the squad and the most experienced normally took control of the squad instead of the LT. “Get a grenade and find a hole to blow open.” Henderson said in a calm voice while still trying not to think about the coveis that might be waiting for them to come out and ambush them when or if they even manage to find a way out.” Staff sergeant, get over here i have something to tell you.” The medic said to Henderson.” What is it?” He asked.” Gato’s right shoulder is completely shattered and is falling apart, he is going to have to lose his entire right arm, either that or we can, i know that you don't want to even think about that choice, but if we amputate his arm, he could die from blood loss or infection.” The medic said quietly to Henderson, the sergeant had never even thought about the second choice, so he spat out.” What do you need for the amputation, this bunker has a medical wing.” I’m not a doctor, I have never been trained or had to cut off someone's arm.” The medic said, clearly not trying to upset the sergeant.” Ahhhh! Jesus christ! Fuck, shit, goddamnit! What the hell is wrong with my arm!” Gato cried as he awoke from the sedatives that the medic had given him.”Shit, calm him down he will die from shock, let me get the morphine. Wait, shit, I can't use morphine, he is losing too much blood, that will slow his heart rate down too much.” The medic said.” I don’t  fucking care! Just give it to me!” Gato screamed.”I’m not letting you die Gerald!” Henderson yelled to Gato.” It hurts so Goddamn much Sarge!” Gato said as he slowly calmed down.” Shit, melper! That is like morphine just may kill him but it won’t stop his heart rate! It will also numb the pain, just may cause heart failure.” The medic said running to the medical room.” Alright, just hold on Gato, just hold on a little longer.” Henderson said trying to comfort Gato.” Here it is, hold what’s left of his shoulder, alright, here we go. Shhh click.” The medic said as he injected the melper.” Uhhh, gurgle.” Gato said as less and less blood ran out of his arm.” Shit what’s happening!” Henderson yelled as Gato turned pale.” Heart failure, dammit. I’m sorry Sargeant, he’s dead, I'm going to grab a body bag.”The medic said as he got a bag and put gato in it before sitting down against the wall.” Shit Gato! What happened!” The LT said as he, Gray, and Cass ran towards Gato’s body.” He died, we gave him melper to numb the pain, and made his heart fail.” Henderson said as he removed Gato’s dog tags and ammo.” We found a way out, we just need a nade.” The LT said to Henderson as he got up.” I have one” A corporal said as he took out his grenade.” Alright, Cass take that nade and do what you need to do, LT help him out, Grey help me and that corporal move Gato’s body.” Henderson said as he got up. “Why the fuck did you not use Biofoam!?” Cass yelled with a single tear rolling down his left cheek before soaking into his mouth covering. “Shit, I could have used Biofoam. WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T I!” The medic screamed as he put his hand on the Biofoam canister on his hip. “Hey! Everyone makes mistakes! There is no point in whining about it, Verdammt entartet.” A man with a german accent with blonde hair and greenish-blue eyes with a name tag that read H.Falswenjager and two knights cross with a silver star on his chest exclaimed. There was a long pause for a while. ” Where are we moving him to?” Asked a corporal.”We are putting him in the med room, if incces come through here later, we don’t want them to cryo Gato and tell him that we left him to die, if we put him in the med room, hopefully the Innies will think we put in yelergin.” Henderson said as he kicked the door open to the med room and put Gato down on a table with an empty yelergin bottle.” Boom!” The grenade rang out as it exploded the cement and metal in the wall half broken wall down the hall. “Holes clear!” The LT shouted as he motioned everybody to come to him.” Let's get out of here fast, don't want the covveis getting to us before we escape.” Henderson said as he started to boost Grey out the hole.” We are all up, come on Sarge, ehh.” Cass said as he grabbed Henderson and pulled him out of the hole.
Chapter 5- Purple Shrapnel
”Alright, you four, names.” Henderson said to the other squad needing to know them for easier communication. “ NCO Arin Jater.” One of them said.” Privet Derin Klick.” Said another. ``Privet helix Falswenjager.” One of them said with a german accent.”Lance Corporal Shawn Dobry.” Another said who had red hair and blue eyes with a red stripe painted over the front of both of his legs with a green painted stripe going around his helmate and blue painted stripes going across his torso with two purple hearts, one bronze star, two iron crosses, and a medal of honor on his torso``Alright good, Gray, hand me your binos.” Henderson said as he looked over the roof of the bunker and used the binos to see a massive covenant gathering on the base. “ There are too many infantry to count and about 6 groups of 20 wraiths and at least 200 ghost all ready to go into the jungle surrounding the base and brutes are being sent out to hunt down any survivors.” Henderson explained.” Ah fuck, patrol coming.” Cass said as he looked down the trail that was behind them and to the right.” Hide and play dead.``The NCO said laying down on his stomach and playing dead and soon everyone else did as well. ”Ah no! Fuck, let go of me!” A Marine said as he was dragged out of a hole along the road.” Should we eat him, or hunt him in the games.” One of the brutes in patrol said.” Let’s eat him, my belly aches.” Another brutes said while the others nodded their heads.” Please please, just let me go! Godammit! Somebody, help me! Blap!” The Marine screamed until one of the brutes punched him knocking him out.” Fucking animals.” Gray said as he looked down the trail at the brutes taking the solder back into the base.” Let’s start moving, don’t want to be- PEW!” The LT said before he was hit by a jackal snipers round from it’s needler rifle.” EEEEE POW!” The Needle from the rifle exploded killing the LT and sending deadly bolt shards every when hitting Falswenjager and Arin.” Ahh hmmm!” Arin let out a scream but Grey covered his mouth so they would not be attacked by any other covenant soldiers and Falswenjager fell onto his stomach as he had taken most of the shards.” Where the hell is that sniper!” Cass said raising his DMR and scanning the tree’s in the jungle.” There! On that mound!” Dobry said pointing to a mound but not shooting as he had only a shotgun.” Agraaa! Ehinsel helifo! Ahhhh!” The Jackal let out as a creature came up from the mound and snached the Jackal up with its mouth and pulled it back into the hole.” The fuck was that thing?” Cass said as he lowered his DMR.” The Lieutenant and Falswenjager are hit!” Henderson said as he rushed to the LT and pointed for dobry to help Falswenjager.” Goddammit! Fuck! James, you just had to be the one. ” Henderson said as he took a look at the LT and knew he was dead.” Fals is dead too, damn shards went through his head and in his heart.” Dobry said as he rolled Falswenjager over and looked at him. “ Take their tags,chips, food, ammo, and anything else that could be useful, and privet, think twice before speaking.” Henderson said as he took the LT’s chip and tags and started digging out his ammo while calming down.” Sarge, the NCO isn't looking too good.” Grey said, still holding down Arin.” Shit, where is he hit?” Henderson asked Grey.” In the gut and in the eye, the shard is still stuck in his eye.”Grey said as he let Henderson inspect his more.” We need to get down into the med room.” Henderson said as he looked down the hole in the wall.” Wart Wart Wart!” Multiple elites said in the bunker.” Shit, elites are coming down the hall, they must have gotten through the door and they are getting close.” Henderson said as he grabbed his rifle.” Give me a pistol and leave me here, you can’t fight all of them, I will try to buy you some time.” Arin said through Greys hand.”Shit, with you missing one eye and your gut bursting with blood, i don't think you are going to be able to hit anything.” Grey said as he released his hand.” That is an order privet! Now give me the damn pisto- Pew Pew!” Arin was cut off by a squad of brutes shooting him with one of their spikers.
Chapter 6-Brutes and a Snake!
” Shit, brutes!”” Dobry said raising his shotgun” Bam Bam! Draaaaaa! Ding Ding! Pew Pew! Orange head one has a brute shot!” Cass yelled over all of the gunfire as he saw one of the Brutes pull out a brute shot.” No brute shot! We need them alive before those damned elites get to them and kill them, we need more for the games!” The leader of the brute squad said.” Run for the mound now!” Henderson said as he pointed towards the mound that the Jackal had been eaten at.” Fuck Fuck Fuck!” Cass, Grey, Dobry, Klick said under their breaths as they made a full sprint towards the mound trying to lure the brutes towards the mound.” Ahh Shit! Ahh!” Cass screamed as one of the brutes tackled him near the pile and was about to knock him out when- “Graaa! Sheroo! Crunch!” The monster had arose from the hole in the middle of the mound and ate the brute on top of Cass. “Holy shit it's a giant fucking snake!” Cass yelled as the monster came out of its hole to kill the rest of them and it had revealed its long, scaly like black and green skin and the brutes blood was still dripping from the beast mouth. “ Cuciray!” One of the brutes yelled in fear as the Cuciray devoured the other brutes while the marines were able to escape as the Cuciray did not see them as a good enough meal.” What the fuck! A giant damn snake! I did not sign up for this shit!” Cass blurted as they all ran down the giant hill that the base was sitting on. “I fully fucking agree with Cass! I bet that your glad you did not have to go patrol in the back, now we know where Israls squad went!” Grey yelled at Cass as they were starting to go down a steep incline.” Oh fuck!” Klick said as he loss traction on the incline and started to slide down it.” Oh shit! CRACK! AHHHH!” Klick screamed as his leg hit a branch that was half way sticking out of the ground and shoved the bottom of his right leg’s bone into his knee cap and shoved the bone out so much that you could perfectly see his kneecap and the inside of his leg. “Shing! Uhhh, gurgle.” The sound of klicks body being stabbed by something mid air made the marines all stop in their tracks. Klicks blood slowly pour onto what he had been stabbed by, his blood slowly created an outline of an energy sword and once the blood got to who he been stabbed by, it revealed an elite dual wielding energy swords, it had three jaws missing, it just stared at them, all of the sudden the elite dropped the body and ran into the jungle, with the blood still outlining its silhouette.” There’s a goddamn dual wielding invisible elite? Sarge, what the hell did we get ourselves into?” Cass said in shock. He, and everyone else knew that they could not take on an elite like that, and that the elite would be hunting them, in basic training they had been told that after an attack on a base, the covenant would send out patrols to find survivors of the base attack. But sometimes, highly trained elites would be sent out if soldiers proved too hard to find and kill. This was one of those elites. 
Chapter 7- New arrivals in India maybe it's those horse people we were talking about or some…. AND THEY WROTE SOME HYMNS AND MANTRAS AND STUFF.
“Alright everyone, you know what we have wanting to kill us, but does anyone want to try and grab Klicks tags, cause i sure as hell aint trying with that fucker runnin around.” Grey said dully and sounded like no one had just died a horrific death right in front of him.” Shit, you sound like Mike before that mortar hit him, you know, after Ray died?” Cass said to Grey. “ Well, at one point or another i knew that something was gonna make me like that fat fuck.”Grey said as he checked his pistols ammo. “I’ll go.”Henderson said with a tone of defeat. “Alright sarge, we’ll watch your back.” Grey said as he checked his rifle ammo, he knew that their bullets would probably barely do anything against the elite, and they couldn't run from it, it was too fast, and the snake would also probably come looking for them so it could find its next meal.” Cover me,clump clump clump, ting! Got it, clump clump clump, let’s get moving.” Henderson said as he went down and grabbed Klicks tags then came back up the muddy end of the incline.” Ah fuck, it's getting dark, and there is no way im staying out here with a goddamn hunter elite and a giant snake.” Grey said.” You trained to be a marine, right grey?” Dobry asked.” Of course i did, why else would i be stuck on a fucking jungle planet filled with giant snakes and god knows what else.” Said Grey clearly sounding annoyed.” Then act like one and stop bitching.” Dobry also said, sounding annoyed.” Ah well, I guess you're just stuck with my ass.” Grey said cheerfully.” Both of you, shut the fuck up and stay on your guard, or this predator shit will kill us sooner.” Cass said angrily. “ Marxas!” Someone said behind them. “ Gerickle,” Henderson said as everyone whipped around and aimed their guns into the darkness behind them.” Hold your fire! Wait, Henderson?” The person said as he walked into the moonlight with four other men following him.``Shit, Osborn?” Henderson said realising that it was one of his friends that was in another squad. “Ya and i got Johanson, Hinds, Polick, and Tobbs.” A man with red hair and blue eyes with a sargent patch on his shoulder with a name tag that red O.Thomas and had a medal of honor and a bronze star on his chest said pointing at the men.” How the hell did you get out?” Henderson asked. “ Us along with 2 others managed to get on a falcon ride out of here, banshees shot us down about a mile away, the pilot was dead and the other two fell out of the falcon when we got hit. Then we heard your skirmish and we ran into that snake that was still killing all sorts of covenant, we then found a body that was all sorts of messed up and we also saw your tracks, they ended but we still just went he way we thought you might of headed and that's how we found you.” Osborn recapped while giving the signal to watch the perimeter.” Well shit, the more the merrier.” Henderson said. “ Osborn, we need to find somewhere to set up a camp, preferably in a cave, those snakes? They come out at night and if we don't create fire, then well we are as good as dead, those fuckers hate fire, even though it wont do anything to em, it's still a natural fear like our fear of the dark.” Polick said to Osborn as Polick was one of the lead biologists investigating Tericonven before he joined the UNSC. “ Well alright then, let's go find us a cave to camp in.” Osborn said as he signaled everyone to get up and find a cave. After an hour of searching, Hinds saw it.” Look, there is a cave just right there.” Said Hinds. 
Chapter 8- WHAT ARE THOSE!!
“ Everyone, move to that cave and establish a perimeter around the entrance of it. Tobbs, Johanson, Hinds, and Grey, get in there and find out if that's a tunnel, a cave, or some weird animal nest.” Henderson said to the four as he put his gun on his back and took out his shovel and he and the rest of the men that were not going into the cave started to dig a ditch to have some cover if some covenants were to come by. “Well, aren't we just the luckiest sacks of shit.” Tobbs said begrudgingly as they all entered the cave and descended into the darkness with only the flashlights on their rifles to see in the pitch black.
“ Oh shit. What the fuck is that?” Grey said quietly as he shined his flashlight on a pitch black creature that seemed to be sleeping, but he could clearly see its six long black arms that had sharp ends on the end of them that seemed like it would be used as spears or to walk.” I'm gonna radio Polick, see if he knows what the fuck this things is.” Tobbs said as he reached for his radio he shined his guns light further down into the cave to discover what seemed to be thousands more creatures sleeping on top of each other down the cave.” We need to get the fuck out of here.” Tobbs said as he slowly turned around. “Bump, Crash! Shit!” Johanson accidentally shouted out as he tripped over a rock.” GLOOORRRRECCCSSS!” Every single one of those creatures let that sound out as they all got up started looking at the men.” GET YOUR ASS UP AND RUN!” Tobbs screamed at Johanson as all of the creatures started chasing them.” BAM BAM! DRAAAAAAA! BAM!” The sound of all of the men unloading their rounds into the hoard of monsters exploded and everyone at the mouth of the cave readyed their rifles at the cave.” Look! A light!” Cass said as he saw all of the men round the corner firing into darkness but the men outside could not see the monsters just yet. “ Run like hell!” Grey shouted as the men all exited the cave and jumped over the crudely half finished ditch.” Oh shit.” Henderson said quietly as he saw the hoard of monsters descending upon them.” Serifix, Shit, Everyone stop moving and don't make a sound!” Polick screamed at the men as he jumped to the ground and stopped moving.”Everyone, listen to him!” Osborn said as he dropped to the ground doing what Polick said and soon everyone one followed suit and as soon as they did the hoard stopped, looked around, and ran back into the cave thinking that they were gone. “What kind of Voodoo shit was that?” Tobbs said to Polick. “Those things were Serifix, named after one of my biologists on my team, we were investigating some caves, they killed him when he woke em. The rest of us were petrified, for some reason it was like they did not even know we were there. That how i figured that out, so i guess their vision is based on movement or some shit like that, we never killed em but you four probably took out at least 200, i mean, there's so many of those damn things bodys, guess they are not that strong.” Polick explained while picking up his shovel and beginning to dig his own foxhole in front of the ditch. And he was right, there were hundreds of the monsters bodies, in fact, there were mounds of black, silky, and smooth creatures,some of them were all killed by one bullet. “ This is Unit 78 is anyone out there? I repeat this is Unit 78 of the 678th rescue regiment, is anyone out there?” A rescue pilot said over all of their radios. 
Chapter 9- Cavalry?
“This is squad 465, 789, and 342. We are survivors of the Martin base attack, we are southwest of the base and in a small rivein, we need transport but can wait.” Henderson said to the pilot and with him already having been picked up from similar circumstances so he knew what to say to the pilot. “Roger that 465, 789, and 342 we are going to send out one pelican and three falcons to pick you up, you are the first men we have been able to get ahold of.” The pilot said as you could hear multiple other falcons, wasps, hornets, and pelicans going in the background. “ Unit 78 where are we being transported to?” Osborn asked over the radio. “To the UNSC Grote Vogel then to the UNSC frigate Albatross and then to Reach, but can you find a clearing to pop a flare so the birds can see you.” The pilot explained.” Yes sir.” Henderson said. “ You heard him pop a flare, this area is already big enough.” Said Osborn as Dobry ruffled through his pack to find his flares.” Grey, Tobbs, start setting up sensors in case that Elite comes.” Henderson said as he pulled a pack of motion sensors out of Johansson's pack as he was the one who would carry them.” This is Unit 698 of the 678 Rescue Regiment. I got two banshees on my tail and my pelicans loaded with wounded. I need support! I'm about to go into grid 546 and over hill 807, just please send me some support!” A pilot cried over the radio as explosions and screaming could be heard in the background. “Shit, that's just about a quarter of a mile away, we can make it.” Osborn said to Henderson.” POW POW! VRRRRRRRRR! BOOM!” The sound of the banshees taking down the pelican went sounded over head until the pelican started to descend to the ground and smash into the ground. “Dobry, Johansson, Polick, follow me, everyone else makes a defensive position around this clearing. Unit 78 do you copy over?” Henderson told the men as he turned on his radio and asked Unit 78.” This is Unit 78 go ahead.” The pilot said, ``A pelican just went down over us.” Henderson said. “ Can you get shhhhhhh.” Unit 78 was cut off by static. “Shit, anyone else got a radio that works?” Henderson said.” No, I think all of ours are bad.” Osborn said as he checked his radio. “SHHHHHOOO THIS IS THE UNSC GROTE VOGEL! ARE THERE ANYONE IN THIS JUNGLE! IF THERE IS THEN CODE 0034 IS IN ORDER! TAKE ALL PERSONAL THERE IMMEDIATELY!” The frigate sounded as it passed over all of the men and had lights flashing as it also shot banshees and phantoms out of the sky as pelicans, wasps, hornets, and falcons flew out and flew into the huge ship.” You know what that means, we just dug for nothing.” Grey said. Code 0034 means that all UNSC personnel are to move to the nearest water source for pickup. “What about that pelican?” Tobbs asked. “ Well, the nearest water source is lake Jurdef, and that is  near the pelican, well where we think it is. Dobry, Johansson, Polick, and Osborn, get to the pelican and secure it, once we get to the pick up site we’ll send help.” Henderson said to the four while motioning for the rest to come with to the drop site.``Alright, Dobry, Johansson, Polick, and Osborn, your groups code name is solitude 1, got it?” Henderson asked as the men stopped behind a mound.” Yes sir.” The four said in unison. “Alright good, now start moving towards the pelican, the rest of you, start hauling ass, I don’t know how much longer they are going to be there.” Henderson explained as Solitude 1 headed off towards the pelican.
Chapter 10- Escape
” Hey! Get the fuck on, were about to get out of here and jump on the ship!” A ODST said to Henderson and the rest of the men. “ Do you think you could send another pelican to a downed one? Some of my men are guarding it.” Henderson said as he pulled out a map and placed it on a rock and pointed towards the pelican. “ I think so, let me call another pelican over there, but your men and the wounded have got to be ready to load, okay.” The ODST said as he looked over the map.” Okay good, thanks!” Henderson said to ODST over the sound of the pelican starting. “Osborn, get ready, pickups coming!” Said Henderson over the radio to Osborn. “Alright, thanks!” Osborn said through the radio as he was starting to get muffled out by the pelican. “So, what are we gonna do now?” Asked Dobry as he got the last wounded man onto a stretcher. “We wait for the pelica- Osborn was cut off by the sound of gunfire in the distance. “ The fuck is that?” Asked Johansson as he put out a cigarette on a broken piece of the pelican. “ This is ODST unit Velcarol! We have encountered a huge covenant force! Shit, Decavoi! We have taken heavy losses! We are surrounded on all sides, please send help, we have too many wounded to move! We are at hill 195!” An ODST commander said over the radio and in the background you could only hear gunfire and screams.” Roger that Velcarol, sending support.” Responded Osborn. “ Henderson, this is Osborn, can you send support to hill 195? A unit of ODST and a good amount of wounded are located there but a huge covenant force has surrounded them.” Osborn explained. “ Roger, I can't promise anything.” Answered Henderson. “ Hey ODST, do you think that you could redirect some gunships and transports to hill 195? An ODST unit is stuck there by covenant.” Henderson asked the ODST. “Oh, we already have gunships and transport inbound, actually, if you guys did not show up i would have gone and helped them. But they have about 25 gunships and 7 transports inbound, it's amazing how well this evacuation is going.” The ODST explained. “ Osborn, UNSC forces are already en route to 195, your transport should be there soon too.” Said Henderson to Osborn.” Alright, thanks.” Osborn said to Henderson. “ There’s our ride.” Said Polick. “ Then get these men ready to move, I want them on there in 5.” Osborn ordered as he slung a marein who had lost one of his legs and both of his hands but had already gotten patched up at the pelican.”Osborn right?” An army trooper asked them.” Y- Yes Sir.” Osborn said to the trooper when he notected his rank, he was a major.” Sir, what are you doing here?” I can't help with commanding, it's all in order so i decided to be one of the guys in the pelicans helping pick up men.” The major explained as he loaded the last wounded man, a guy who had lost both of his legs and his entire face was covered with a blood soaked bandage and there were biofoam inside of his cuts and needler wounds.”There goes the gunships.” Johansson said as pelicans flew overhead and towards hill 195. As Osborns pelican lifted off the ground and flew towards the UNSC Grote Vogel, Dobry looked out the still open back ramp of the pelican. He saw the base, it was lit up by purple lights and it even looked like there was a covenant space fleet in the sky. He saw the yellow, purple, and smoke all around hill 195 before all of the pelican started back towards the Grote Vogel, loaded with the men. He saw a huge Cuciray,the same Cuciray that had the hammer stuck into the  creature's scale, it was headed towards hill 195. Dobry then took a look at the landscape, there were craters, riviens, and anything that was not that or a huge mud land, a grassland that is always muddy, was a jungle. But where they had all been picked up from was a plateau, while somewhat rare, it still was a great sight to see. Then as the door was closing, he took one last breath of the planet's cool air. Thinking about his squad, they all died and he was the last alive, just like his family he thought. Insurrectionist had set his house on fire while his entire family was there, gathering for a funeral, his dad was out back with him and ran in before being shot by a young insurrectionist man, then it was set ablaze. He joined the UNSC to find that family again, but now he just hopes he does not get the other men killed. 
Chapter 11- The Grote Vogel
“SHHHHHHHHH EEEEEEEE WWW! Get those wounded to bay 6. Move them! Ahhhh! I need some more blood!” Men were yelling to others and moving wounded frantically through the large but now crowded landing bay. The men found each other fairly soon after they had gotten into the frigate.” Slipspace jump will commence in 15 seconds! Slipspace jump will commence in 10 seconds! 5..4...3….2…..1! FWOOSH!” The sound of a man speaking over the intercom alerted everyone to be ready to go into slip space.” All men from the 44th division, report to CR17!” The same man said over the intercom, Hendersons, Osborn, and Dobrys squads were in the 44th. “ How the hell are we all supposed to fit in a conference room sarge?” Asked Cass.” Almost everyone in the 44th is dead, we should be thankful we made it out.” Henderson answered. He was not wrong, for almost every man and women in the 44th division had been killed, with only 34 soldiers remaining. “This is the biggest CR I have ever seen.” Said Osborn.” Where are the rest of you?” Asked a captain as the last men walked through the door.” Dead, can you believe it?” Said Johansson. “Coming out of Slip space in 3. 2. 1!” The man said over the intercom. “How the fuck they kill so many of ya?” A lieutenant said softly next to the captain.” So, you will all be placed in a platoon together and put into the 33erd division, you will now be taking orders from lieutenant general Fared. Understand?” The captain said to them.” Now how many squads here have all of their men with them?” The captain said to them. Osborn and his men raised their hands. “ You the only squad?” He asked. “ Yes sir.” Osborn replied swiftly. “ Well then, Who is the highest ranking man here?” Asked the captain. “I am.” Said a man from a squad that had only had two men left in it. “ You are the platoon leader then, we don't have time to see the best fit to lead.” The captain said. “Boosh!” The sound of an explosion in the hanger shook the entire ship. “ Covenant are on the ship, I repeat the covenant are on the ship!” A man said over the intercom. “ That came from the hanger, so that means that you guys are up, your platoon number is PT 501.” The captain said as he racked his pistol and the lieutenant ran towards the door snagging a DMR from an emergency gun rack on the back of a chair.” Let's start moving.” said the man in the lead of the platoon. 
Chapter 12- Red vs blue rip off?
“Osborn you and your squad take the left, Dobry join Hendersons squad and take the right, the rest of you, spread out in the middle and once we get in there for a defensive line.” The man said to them as they ran towards the hanger. “Where the fuck are they?” Asked Grey. “I don't know, want to go to that pelican and check?” Asked Cass as he pointed towards a pelican filled with dead bodies. “Both of you, can it!” Henderson told them sternly. “ Both of you are going, me and Dobry are going to watch your back.” 
Henderson told them as he came to them after receiving orders from the leader of the platoon. “Yes sir.” The three said to Henderson. “Shit this stinks.” Grey said to Cass as they both shined a light into the pelican and smelled the dead bodies of the men in it. “Henderson, we don't see anything in here except for dead bo- Blam! Blam! DRAAAAAAAAAA!” The sound of gunfire cut Cass off. “Elite!” The platoon leader said as one the men beside him were stabbed and the elite looked at him. “Assist!” Henderson ordered his men as he ran towards where the elite was. “Slash, Slash, DRAAAA- slash, BAM! BAM! Slash.” The sound of men firing before being killed by the elite sounded. “Shoot the fuc- Slash!” The platoon leader was cut off by the elite shoving an energy sword into the man's skull. “Retreat! It's shields are too strong!” Osborn yelled as bullets bounced off of the elites' energy shields.``POP!” The sound of the elites energy shield popping as the men ran to the door of the hanger and fired stray shots towards the elite to cover themselves. “Fire!” Osborn, Henderson and another man ordered their men. “WART! WART! WART! BLARG!” The elite screamed as it was mowed down by the volume of gunfire opened up on it. “Fuck, how many of us did it kill?” Tobbs asked. “One, two, three, four , five, uhh about 16, it smashed into us in the middle and tore up the men there.” Osborn responded. “Threat neutralized, at least 16 KIA, it was an elite hunter, must have been trying to prove itself or something as it did not try to sneak past us and just charged head first, elites are smarter than that.” Henderson told the captain. “Roger, lieutenant general Fared is on station 0010 so i’ll relay it to him the reports, is the platoon leader dead?” Asked the captain. “Yes sir.” Replied Henderson. “Alright, the next highest ranking man that is there, put him in command.” The captain told Henderson. “Yes sir.” Henderson told the captain. “Who is the highest ranking here?” Asked Henderson. Nobody is higher than staff sergeant, so you are, or at least I think.” Said Osborn, he was only a sergeant. “Sir, I am in command.” Answered Henderson. ‘Alright, well that was not the only threat on board, move to hanger 2 and assist the three other platoons there, five drop ships drops over 600 covenant, mostly grunt and jackal but a good amount of elites.” Said the captain. “Yes sir, this is PT 501 out.” Said Henderson as he motioned for everyone to start moving to hanger 2. 
Chapter 13- Hanger Two
“DRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA! BAM BAM! SHEW SHEW SHEW! WATCH OUT! SPLAT!” The sound of gunfire and yelling filled the air as PT 501 entered the hanger and saw warthogs arranged in a wall-like defensive line with men on the guns firing at the horde of covenant that kept getting smaller then bigger from constantly being restocked from dropships with troops. “Hey, you guys! We need you to get to the left flank and be ready to rush to that gauss hog!” A lieutenant that was reloading ordered the 18 men. “Bloom Bloom! AHH!Richa- Bloom! PEW PEW PEW! SHOOW!” The sound of a man at the back of the group being shot by a plasma repeater made 3 men stop and turn before being killed themselves. “You guys! We are about to move and take that gauss hog and we need your help, there aren't enough of us to take it and hold it, but with you all, we can!” Said a Master Sergeant over the gun fire as he and 2 other men prepared to make a break for the gauss hog with had five men dead around it with one that had fallen into the driver's seat from the back head first. “Yes sir, but i am going to leave some men behind to hold this position, you six, hold this position, after we have taken the gauss hog, move the three warthogs here to extend the wall!” Henderson ordered 6 men that were in his platoon as he and the other 9 prepared to rush to the gauss hog. ``3… 2… 1… GO!” The Master sergeant ordered as he and the others leaped up and sprinted towards the hog. “POW POW! AHHH! SAR- BLOOM! SHEWWOW KABOOM!!” How much that the 12 men had been mercilessly fired at had whittled them down to just Henderson, Dobry, Gray, Cass, Osborn, Hinds, Tobbs, and Polick. “Cass get on the gun, Tobbs and Polick move to crates over there and get that machinegun up, Gray and Osborn, both of you protect the hog. Hinds, with me, lets go.” Henderson ordered and as he did, Cass got onto the gauss hogs gauss cannon, Polick and Tobbs put up the machine gun, Gray and Osborn got to either side of the warthog and started firing while Henderson broke open a ventilation hatch on the ground and jumped in the as did Hinds. “Staff sergeant, what are we doing down here?” Ask Hinds as they both walked underneath the hanger towards the covenant. “I think this is far enough, aren't you supposed to be the explosives guy Hinds?” Asked Henderson as he removed a small panel from above them and looked at Hinds. “Yes sir, why?” Hinds asked as he put a pack on the ground that said “DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVE CHARGES. USE WITH CAUTION.” “We are going to be blowing a hole underneath the coveeis so we can actually break this fight.” Henderson said as he grabbed 6 charges and started to place them in the space above where he had removed the panel. “Sir, with all due respect, are you fucking crazy?” Asked Hinds as he put the pack back onto his back. “Maybe but, this is better than slowly being picked off one by one. Charges are ready lets go.” Answered Henderson before he and Hinds ran back towards the hatch that they had originally come in from. “Here’s the detonator.” Said Hinds as the two got out and ran towards the Gauss hog which by now had the wall of warthogs extending to it. “What detnat- BOOOMMM!! BEEP BEEP BEEP! ALL PERSONNEL THE COVENANT SEEM TO HAVE PLANTED AND SET OFF A BOMB, THE SHIP HAS SUSTAINED MASSIVE DAMAGE, ALL PERSONNEL ARE BEING EVACUATED, WOUNDED GO ON PELICANS, FOUR SOLDIERS PER PELICAN, ONCE ALL OF THE WOUNDED HAVE BEEN EVACUATED ALL REMAINING PERSONNEL ARE TO TAKE THE ESCAPE PODS.”Osborn was cut off the charges going off and the captain of the ship, captain Issac, explained the evacuation. “Shields failing, get out of the hanger!” Said the lieutenant. “You just fucked all of us!” Hinds said as he and the others ran out of the hanger. 
Chapter 14- Descending from the bird
“Wait, that was Henderson! What the fuck were you thinking?” Gray shouted. “Yes I did, I thought that the ship would be stronger. What was in those charges anyways?” Henderson asked Hinds. “Those were level 9 A+ grade explosives, their meant to take down frigates or collapse structures, you blew them before I realised that they were that, i thought that they were C- grade.” Hinds explained. “ALL PELICANS ARE AWAY. ALL WOUNDED ARE AWAY.ALL REMAINING PERSONNEL MOVE TO THE ESCAPE PODS. TRY TO MANEUVER TO THE PLANET OF HALIFAX. Covenant have breached the bridge, i repeat covenant have reached the bridge! POW POW DRAAA- AHHRG!” The man ordered before he was cut off by covenant. “All of you, get into this on- POW! AHHRG! DRRRAAAA, BAM BAM, DRRRAAAA!” A man said to them as they ran past before being shot in the back by a grunt before Henderson, Polick, and Tobbs let off some shots at the grunt killing it. “Strap in and get ready for a rough landing! This pod has already taken damage cause of a Fue- SHUT THE FUCK UP AND EJECT US FROM THIS SHIP!” The pilot tried to explain before Cass cut him off and yelled at him to get going. “Alright, Taking off in 3, 2, 1, ejecting!” The pilot announced before taking off. “The fuck’s going on out there?” Asked Tobbs. “ Oh shit. That's a covenant fleet.” Grey said as he looked out the window as they were falling to Halifax. “Fuck, we need to check to see if everyones here. Tobbs, Henderson, Johannson, Gray, Cass, Polick, Dobry, Hinds. Ya, ya, ya, everyones here.” Osborn said as he finished checking. “BRACE FOR IMPACT!” The pilot said. “ BOOOSHHH! SHHEWWWW! POP” The sound of the bumblebee hitting the side of a mountain and took a chunk out of the mountain when they hit it and because of that they started to spin out of control before hitting a small hill hard in the middle of a savannah. The botched landing had  shook all of the men to their core and killed the pilot in the process as he had not put on all of his belts and securities before he took off. “Let's move.” Henderson said as he got up and grabbed his assault rifle off the wall and stepped outside. “Where are we supposed to go now?” Asked Cass. “Gray, get out the holo-map, set it for Halifax.” Ordered Henderson. “So here we are, and here’s the nearest UNSC presence.” Gray said as he put down a metal box and a map of the area appeared on it with a Green dot for where they were, a brown for any towns or mines, and a Blue for anything related to the UNSC. It just so happens that there was a small UNSC Army Garrison at a mine just a mile away. “Alright, let's start moving.” Osborn said as he got up and looked in the direction of the base. “Vrrrrrrr. Hey you hear that?” Asked Johannson. “Hey, look there's a warthog!” Said Cass. 
Chapter 15- Somethings not right
“9 Unidentified men in canyon 53, identify yourselves or we will fire on you!” A man said on a loudspeaker. “Cass, show green light.” Henderson said as he looked at Cass and Cass pulled out a black device that was no bigger than an ipad and pressed some buttons and it showed a green light before Cass pointed it at the warthog. “Show blue if you are UNSC Army, Teal if Marines!” The man said over the loudspeaker before Cass showed a teal light. By this point the warthog had gotten so close that the man could yell and the men could hear him. “Skrrt. Which one of you is the leader?” The man in the passenger seat asked with a very thick US country accent as the warthog stopped and he popped his head out of the top. “I’m Staff Sergeant Henderson, this is First class private Hinds and Tobbs, Second class private Polick, Sargeant Osborn, Corporal Dobry, Corporal Johannson, First class private Gray, and Sargeant Cass. We came from Teraconvin on the Grote Vogel. It's glassed and the Grote is dead.” Henderson explained. “We know the covveis are here, we’ve been hitting em with the orbital guns for about 3 days now, we aren’t gonna let em get down here till we die. Well i'm Second Lieutenant Riggs, the driver here is  third class private Osald, and Third class private Darden is the gunner. Now we still gotta patrol so you all just keep on headen the way ya headen and y’all e’ll find it, Challenge is Farex, counter’s Kreka. Vrrrrrrrrrrr!” Riggs explained as before signaling to Osald to start driving again before they took off back into the direction they came from. “You guys think that was a little to quick, just took off, I didn't even see a UNSC insignia on him.” Grey said. “Be careful, they could have been Incesses in Army gear, once we get to the base, watch yourselves, for all we know those signs could have meant shoot.” Osborn said as they began walking again. “The correct signs for getting into a base in the Army is Gregorian for challenge, Sigfreid for counter. Osborn take your squad up to the high ground then follow us to the base and provide overwatch. Hinds, stay with us, you have a shotgun and I don't think that it will do anything up there.” Henderson ordered before Osborn, Polick, Tobbs, and Johhanson moved to find a way to get up to a ridge that was running parallel to them. 
Chapter 16- SNIPER!
“BAM! Thud. TOBBS!” The sound of a sniper rifle going off and Tobbs falling into a small hole in the ground with rocks being blasted out of the wall of the ridge in front of him before Osborn screamed his name. “FIND COVER HE’S AT THE ROCKS! BAM! AHHHHHHHH!!!!” Henderson ordered before the Sniper shot again this time blowing Johansson's hand off because he had lunged at a boulder for cover and the sniper just missed his head. “SHHHHHIIIIIITTTT! POLICK! BAM! JOHANSSON!” Johansson screamed before the sniper blew a chunk out of his chest. By this point everyone was in cover, Cass and Grey in a hole, Henderson behind a boulder, Osborn in the hole with Tobbes body, and Polick pulling Johansson’s body behind the boulder. “BAM! SHIT FUCK!” Grey yelled as his helmet was blown off and landed 30 feet away but Grey was uninjured. “He’s out, light up the rocks!” Henderson ordered as he raised his rifle. “DRAAAAAA! BANG BANG BANG BANG! POW! POW!” The amount of gunfire that was thrown at the sniper tore through the rocks that he was at, ripping him to shreds and making his intestines fly into the air from Policks DMR hitting him square in the stomach. “Johansson’s dead!” Polick yelled. 
“Tobbs is too, took a chunk out of his upper back and half of the spines gone.” Osborn said as he got up holding his barely visible dog tags. “Take their tags, food, ammo, and anything else that might be sentimental. I don’t want to be losing anyone else, we barely have any more men left. And we aren't going to be going to the base, Grey get the map back out and find another base.” Henderson ordered as he stood up. “Looks like the nearest base is there, behind that mountain and in a valley with a mountain overlooking it.” Gray said. “Alright then, that's where we are heading.” Henderson said. “After we’ve buried these two, right?” Polick asked as put Johansson's dog tags in one of his empty pockets where a letter was supposed to be, but had fallen out upon landing. “Yes, we will, at least we have a bit of cover and the ground is not metal.” Henderson said as he pulled out his spade from his thigh and looked around. “Yes sir.” They all said in unison, except for Dobry, Dobry had been quite all this time, he had not even fired a shot, he just stood, looking at the two dead men, thinking that it was himself that had caused it as he had been the one farthest in the open. “Hey, Dobry, you good?” Asked Grey as they both piled sand onto Johansson’s body. “ Yes, lets just finish burying these two and get moving.” Said Dobry. “Alright, shit.” Said Grey. “Everyone finished?” Henderson asked. “Ya.” Everyone said in unison. “Then let’s move out.” Henderson said before they all started off towards the base. Nobody said anything on the way, for there was nothing to say. “FAREX!” Someone yelled from behind them, before the men heard guns cocking.
