There’s been some “trouble” with the fiction soooo im making a short story within the Halo video games and books. If your not familiar with the Halo storyline there’s not much important stuff except for several things:
1. This is set about 500 years from now.
2. That there’s an advanced religious alien army attacking the human race called the Covenant.
3. Humans have discovered other planets using a technology called Shaw-Fujikawa to traval to places in days that would take 1 year to travel. ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) squad and there fight on a planet that is being ambushed by a Covenant army from above and on the ground but this story doesn’t go up into the space battles.

So lets get right in to it.
“Covering fire!” Staff Sergeant Brickman yelled as he ran out of the building to throw two frag grenades at the wave of “Grunts”, as the ONI(Office of Naval Intelligence) called them, coming at them with there plasma pistols and needlers. The grenades hit 5 grunts head on. “Huh 5 grunts out of 50 isn’t bad.” The staff sergeant said to him self sarcastically.
“Sarg behind us ” Pvt. First Class Thompson yelled over the com channel.
Brickman looked behind the building and saw Jackals coming at them slowly with there yellow shields side by side looking like a yellow glowing wall.“What explosives do we have left?” The Corporal asked the ONI spook that watching there equipment and the radio for any signs of evac or back up.
“We have 10 frag grenades, 1 M19 SSM Rocket launcher, and 4 SPNKr rockets left ” The ONI First Lieutant yelled from the top of the crumbled up building that they where they were holding off the enemy as he fired a sniper rifle at the on coming wave of snarling grunts.
“We also have 40 clips of-“
“Yeah we don’t need to know about that *static*” Pvt. Winters yelled over the com channel as he was ran into the building to get SPNKr Launcher and the rockets. As he ran through the building he saw that it was a grocery store that had beer .....
“Winters get those-“
“Already on it sir.” He said. When he got up there the ONI had switched and started to firing at the Jackals approaching the building now only 30 feet from the building.
“Sir the Jackals are already 30 feet from the building we need to fire the launcher now ” He said. “Fire when ready Pvt..” Brickman said.
Winters took the launcher out of its box and fitted the rocket into it. He took aim at the middle of the jackals.
“As soon as I take out there line of defense you pick off the stragglers ok?” Winters said. The ONI green light winked that meant that he acknowledged the order. Winters aimed at the middle Jackal and it noticed him and just before he pulled the trigger it ducked.”Go back to where you came back from ” He yelled as he pulled the trigger. The rocket went right over the middle Jackals head and exploded. Winters then started to run towards to the other side of the store.
“Taken care of corporal can I have permission to use the remaining rockets on the Gurnts?” Winters asked as he fitted another rocket in to the launcher.
“Permission granted.” Sergeant Brickman yelled.
Winters stopped at a window and broke a hole in it with the butt of the launcher. He saw a few houses and a gas station where the some the Grunts were taking cover. Perfect. He took aim at the gas station.
“Everybody hit the deck in 5... 4... 3... 2... now ” He said as he fired the launcher and ducked. The Rocket hit and exploded killed all the Grunts just as they were getting their Fuel Rod cannons out which made the explosions flames green and red. Then a Grunt ran out of the flames on fire.
Winters unslung his battle rifle took aim but it was shot down by the ONI right next to Winters.
“Status and what the *static* just happened” The sergeant yelled.
“Sir I saw a gas station where some the Grunts were taking cover ,and I saw an opportunity. So then I took it sir ” Winters explained.
“Thanks for the heads up private!” The sergeant yelled.
“Huh he’ll probably get a medal.”Corporal Randall said.
Winters was an ODST a kind of super marine as he liked to think of it as. As he walked down the stairs he saw the staff sergeant and his team policed the dead bodies.
“ Sir how many of ours are dead?” Winters asked
“3 Pvt. Freeman, Sergeant Paterson, and Pvt. Kalvin.” Brickman said.
Winters swore. They were down to 8 men now including the ONI. Next attack would be by Elites and then they were screwed.
“*static* Sir I found a radio!” Randall yelled over the com channel
“You did?! Bring it here ASAP!” Brickman replied.
Randall jogged out of a building. All the sudden a blue plasma bolt hit Randall out of nowhere. Then Winters saw the shadow of an Elite.
“Sir Elites!” Winters yelled as he ran towards Randall.
“Everybody get back to the building,” Brickman ordered them ”Winters get back here!”
Winters ignored the sargs orders. He wasn’t about to leave Randall his best friend from high school and leave the only radio that can communicate with anybody more than 20 miles.
“He’s not going to listen to me fine COVERING FIRE!” Brickman yelled as he fired his Battle Rifle at a red colored Elite.
Winters was 20 yards away when he saw a Golden armored Elite with a weird looking weapon that looked like a big electric blue scissor come out of nowhere hit the side of his helmet with its fist. He herd his helmet crack and he went flying losing grip of his Battle Rifle. He landed 5 yards away from Randall and the Elite was leaning right over him to pick up Winters by the neck.. Winters tried to get his pistol out but the Elite knocked it out of his hand
“Go ahead make my day.” Winters said.
“I will meet you again when the Great Journey is complete.” The Elite replied as he pulled back his weapon to stab Winters. Winters smiled opened his arms ready. All the sudden a pistol bullet hit the Elites armor. The Elite stopped looked over Winters than a sniper bullet hit the Elites armor and knocked off the Elites helmet.
Then a pistol bullet hit the Eilte right under its slits for nostrils splattering purple blood on Winters helmet visor and the Elite dropped to the ground. Dead.
Winters ran to Randall who had shot the Elite with the pistol and was still aiming at the Elite as if it was going to right back up any second.
“Its dead Randall... thanks.” Winters said
“Great the ONI was the one that really saved you ,but anyway lets get out of here so we can get some back up or evac!” Randall replied as they saw several Elites running towards them. He graped the radio and the cords for it.
“Take this.” As Winters handed him his Battle Rifle.
As he started to drag Randall towards the store. Randall looked over his shoulder and saw the ONI fire a rocket at five Elites killing them instantly. Other than that they were losing the fight.
“Hold on for a sec man” Winters said to Randall. Winters took out his last two grenades and threw them, of corse pulling the pin first.
“Right lets go I took out 5 of those-“ Randall was interrupted by another rocket blast came from behind them.
Winters saw a hole in the Elites offence and took it. Winters started to run threw the hole and herd sergeant Brickman yell ”Covering fire!” and before he knew it he was in the store.
“ONI I have the radio bringing it up to you now.” Winters said over the com channel. Winters dragged Randall to the window, took the radio, and sprinted up the stairs. When he got up there he saw the ONI throwing any thing that could make an explosion bigger.
“Here I’ll take the rifle for now you try to get someone to give us backup or evac.” Winters said. The ONI nodded even though he out ranked Winters by a mile and could have told Winters to do it but knew Winters was a better sniper than him. He took aim at a beer bottle that said Spartans Beer on it.
“Duck in ,oh and by the way this was the ONIs idea, 5... 4... 3... 2... now!” Winters said over the team com channel as he fired the sniper rifle and ducked. The explosion was so big you could probably see it from 20 miles away.
“What the *static* is your problem Pvt.?” Sergeant Brickman yelled into the com channel.
“Like I said that wasn’t my idea.” Winters replied.
“Fine!” Brickman said not daring to question a higher ranking soldier.
“I got frigate Burn Peace on the radio and they’re sending a Spartan... I couldn’t here what they said next.” The ONI said obviously stunned. Winters leaned against the wall wiped the blood off his visor and knew they were safe. 3 minutes later an explosion came from behind the store. “This is Spartan 104 Frederic hold your fire reinforcements have arrived.” The one of the legendary Spartans yelled from the back of store.
