As I await my next mission, I look back into my memories. As I look back I remember the Second Battle of Earth. I had been previously stationed on Cairo Station when I was given the order to leave the station aboard a UNSC Frigate known as the "Dance of Aurora", where I landed with a handful of marines and ODST's, and more importantly, my best-friend, Trevor-020, an EOD Spartan that has helped me through some tough battles. We fought hard on Outpost C9 with the Marines and a few Sangheili, one in particular, her name was Verllan'a Cenduulas, one of the only female Zealot Elites, to defend the outpost, and after two grueling days we caught a break.

It was 3:05 in the morning when I looked up and noticed a meteor-like object falling down into the deep jungle that may have been at least 8000 yards away. I notified Commander Miranda Keyes over via satalite and informed her about the crash, it was then revealed that it was none other than John-117, the Master-Chief, himself.

Then, at about 2:00 in the after-noon, Trevor and I were notified to head for the worker town of Voi using the quickest route possible, Tsavo Highway. Sad to say, one of the Pelicans in our squad of four was taken down by a Wraith. As my Pelican travelled we were hit by a Wraith's cannon and we were forced to ditch our M831 TT Warthog so we could stay in the air. Then By the time I reached Voi with my team, we took part in aiding John-117 and the Arbiter to destroy a Scarab and the Anti-Air Turret.

After that fight Trevor and I watched as Admiral Hood attacked the Dreadnought with full force using a handful of Longsword fighters and his own flagship,Forward Unto Dawn. But our Victory was short lived as I watched Truth escape through the Portal, then I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, another Covenant CCS Battlecruiser that seemed to be infected by the Flood, crash into the factory that John-117 and the Arbiter had just fought their way through to get to the turret. Then, Trevor and I could only watch as John-117 and the Arbiter brutally fought their way through hordes of Flood. As the two of them exited factory-B, The Covenant Seperatists, led by Rtas' Vadum, or "Shipmaster" for short, dropped three squadrons of Assault armored Sangheili to help the two retrieve a containment device containing the UNSC's most sofisticated AI, Cortana. After about four hours, Trevor and I were called back to the "Dance of Aurora" to gear up and be ready for battle, we were heading through the Portal to follow John-117 in search for the Prophet of Truth.

The Ark was beautiful, the Forerunners surely knew beauty. But that wasen't the case, Trevor and I were here on a mission. We took the Ark by storm, eliminating any threat that we came across, except for the Scarab. That giant, destructive, behemoth succeeded in taking down one of our Frigates, the Aegis Fate, before John-117 took it down. He then proceeded in breeching the Cartographer Building with the help of the Arbiter and 343 Guilty Spark. Trevor and I secured the entrance and waited for the chief to find Truth's location. When he did Trevor and I boarded on of the three Pelicans and made a trident formation to the Shielded citadel that Truth had been hiding in, let me just say that it wasen't a smooth ride. My Pelican safely landed at the middle tower, although it had been damaged in the process. I found a M831 TT Warthog and immediatly proceeded to the third tower with a few Elites, a marine, and Trevor because the Elites already took care of the middle tower. John-117 was already on his way in a Hornet as well. Just then, the unthinkable happened, High Charity, the prophets holy city, entered the battlefield through slipspace drive, damaging the Shadow of Intent with a piece of rotted debris as it entered. Something was different about it though, it had been infested by the flood (figures why the debris that hit the Shadow of Intent was rotted). But, nevermind that, Trevor and I made it to the third tower just as the Master-Chief and the Arbiter left for the citadel in the centre of deactivated barrier, and, of course, we followed. As I exited the cave and the chief was already in another Hornet to take on the two Scarabs that had just landed. The Scarabs were ready to try and tke us down as a last stand against us.

Just like that, John-117 eliminated the Scarabs as if they were nothing and entered the citadel. I followed. When I entered, John and the Arbiter were already up, seems like they are always ahead of me somehow. I looked to my right and watched as Sergeant Major Avery Johnson was forced by Truth to activate all of the seven rings at once. Startled, I looked behind me to see Trevor and and whole sworm of flood scurrying in front of him. He loaded his Battle Rifle and told me to do the same with my SMG's just in case they just decided to turn on us. What Trevor had predicted was right, the Flood did turn on us as soon as the Arbiter killed the Prophet of truth. We got rid of them, after all it was just a bunch of Infection forms.

When I got back to the "Dance of Aurora", I informed my captain, Michelle Ramius, that Miranda Keyes had died after hesitating to kill Johnson, then herself to Truth couldn't use them to activate the Ark and that a replacement Halo for Installation 4 had been built. Then I walked over to the window of the bridge and noticed John travelling to the Flood infested High Charity in a Banshee. Then the Arbiter followed a half hour later.

I don't know what happened to John after that because we left the Ark when john travelled to the rebuilt Halo with Cortana and the Arbiter. Then, a day after we got back to Earth a slipspace rupture occured over the Indian ocean of the coast of New Mombasa, it was the front have of the Forward unto Dawn. The Arbiter made it back to Earth but John, he was missing.

Trevor and I watched the memorial from the hillside as dusk aproached. A Seperatist Phantom had come to pick up the Arbiter and take him back to the Shadow of Intent and then back to Sangheilios. Now to this day I remember that memorial and remember John. Like he said, "No soldier should be honored for doing what is expected".

AFTERMATH CHAPTER-1: BATTLE OF OMEGA June 3rd-2553

As suspected, another mission. Just what I needed. It's been a month since the Human-Covenant War ended and I'm already on another mission. But all over the world, the universe, the UNSC is eliminating stray Covenant that survived. But, my mission is to go to the colony world of Omega. I still can't believe that an entire Covenant fleet escaped capture! It's insane! "ALL HANDS! LEVEL 3 BATTLE STATIONS!" shouted the intercom. I grabbed a Magnum and two SMG's from the armory and proceedeed to my Pelican. "Better bundle up, it's winter down there!"said one of the ODST troops. "Haha!, I'll keep that in mind." I replied. We landed 5 minutes later and the battlefield was calm, wow, not what I expected. "Spartan! You take an LRV Warthog and proceed with three others!" Said the Commander. I simply nodded and a boarded my Warthog. "Damn this is a long drive, my ass has just gone numb in the seat!"complained Jacobs in the passenger seat beside me. "YEE HAW!" yelled then ODST in the gunner as we flew of a ledge along the icy road. "RED DAISHO THIS IS BLUE BRAVO, COME IN, OVER." It was Leutanent Conner over the radio of our Warthog. "WE'RE BEING HIT BY HEAVY FIRE OVER HERE! WHERE ARE YOU?" "We're just heading into Octra city as we speak, our estimated ETA is ten minutes, over" I replied. "WELL GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE A BIT FAST- AAH! GOD DAMNIT, JUST HURRY!" Replied the leutenant. "Damn he's pushy". Said Jacobs as he loaded his Battle Rifle. After about 15 mintues we made it to the battlefield. "ah!". Sreamed the ODST back after being hit by a fuel rod cannon. "RED DAISHO, THIS IS BLUE BRAVO, MITCH, DO YOU COPY?" It was Trevor over the Warthog's com. " Ya, I hear you, what's wrong?" I replied. "WE'RE IN A BIT OF TROUBLE HERE. WE LOST OUR ONLY PELICAN AND OUR SCORPION IS GONE!" answered Trevor. "Don't worry, we're in the battle now!" I replied. "JACOBS! COME IN! WHATS YOUR STATUS? OVER." "We're ok, but we lost our gunner and I'm running low on rocket ammo. AAH!". Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. Jacobs was hit by a Fuel rod cannon as well and he fell out. And just like that, the Warthog I was driving was also effected by the blast, sending me off a cliff. After that I blanked out, my entire world blacked out into nothing. BOOM! A white light and then the battlefield. It all happened so fast I swear I blinked and missed it. I looked around, found an MA5C Assault Rifle laying on the ground, just before I could grab it, someone else did, an Elite. But not just an Elite, it was Verllan'a Cenduulas, the Zealot Sangheili, who helped me Defend Outpost C9 during the second battle of Earth. She was different though, her armour, it was purple with gold trim, instead pure golden armour. "You'll need this." she said helping me up and then handing me the assault rifle. "Thanks. But when the hell did you get here?" I asked. "I recieved a distress signal from the Dance Of Aurora, they were being hit by heavy fire, luckily, my capital ship was in the visinity. Then I landed with a squad of my best fighters, and Grimmjow, and that's when I found you laying here unconcious. So I covered you until you woke up." she replied. "Now, back to buisiness, Their commander is a single Brute Chieftain, should be easy." She added. It took a while, but we made it to the base without any injuries. I noticed an M7S SMG laying on the ground. Of course I picked it up. "We're almost there, just another few hundred yards." said Verllan'a. "Wait, what about that warthog over there. It looks ok." I asked. "Yes, it appears fi-" Just before Verllan'a could finish, a damaged Pelican crash landed right in front of us. Thank god it didn't land on the Warthog, and, to much of my suprise, Trevor walked out with a Battle Rifle in his hand. "Hey, where are you two going?" Asked Trevor. "How the HELL are you not injured!" I asked in disbelief. "What do you mean, oh, the Pelican, I got a spranged ankle and thats pretty much it." He replied. "Come on, there's no time to waste. We're almost there." Said Verllan'a. We approached the entrance a banshee landed in front of us. An Elite exited the craft, Grimmjow to be exact. "Lady Verllan'a, we're beginning to lose by a considerable amount." Said Grimmjow. "I see. Grimmjow! Retreat Back to the Aurora and defend our brethren from there!" replied Verllan'a. "Wait, Verllan'a, why are you retreaeting to my ship?" I asked in confusion. "Oh, no, not your ship. My ship is also known as the Aurora. Just without the "Dance of" in the name. But we don't have much time, we must go." she said. We arrived about a half an hour later, approaching a giant structure that looked like the one I saw in the UNSC Covenant records. From what I know it was just like the Covenant structure on the planet Harvest. "Nice and tall, just the way I hate it." Complained Trevor. It took another ten minutes to get up without being spotted ny anyone. Then we got to the main command centre. "SHHHH. There he is." Verllan'a told Trevor and I. I peeked around the corner. I caught a Glimpse of the Chieftain, two Ultra Grunts, and one Brute Captain. "Have you found the Artifact yet?" A Prophet was on the screen, talking to the Chieftain. "No, my noble Prophet, it seems the Humans are holding their ground against our forces, and the wretched Sangheili are aiding them." Replied the Brute. "I predict that the Aurora Caim to their aid?" Asked the Prophet. "Yes my hierarch. Which means that Verllan'a Cendumee is fighting on the Battlefield right now." He answered. "Remember, failure is not an option. After all, we are rebuilding the Covenant Empire. We need that artifact." said the Prophet. "Well, well, well, it seems that your time is up. What a shame." I said while I loaded my Brute shot. "A Spartan? No matter, your fate will be the same as the rest of your pathetic race and those weak Sang-" The Chieftain's sentence was cut off because an Energy sword had been held up to his throat. Verllan'a's sword. "Now, before you insult my race, think. If my race is so weak then why can I kill you any moment now. I have lived through countless battles, I have witnessed my own father's death. I would kill you on the spot if it weren't my mission. So be greatful, "weakling"." Said Verllan'a in disgust and anger. "Haha! Look around you, Verllan'a. You're surrounded my my troops! How could you possibly kill me without being killed afterward?" The Chieftain was right, even if we did succeed in killing him, we'd be killed by his troops. "MITCH! COME IN! CAN YOU HEAR ME? OVER." It was Tasha Strife, a spec-ops sniper who was unreasonibly amazing when wielding an Energy Sword. "Ya, I hear ya. But I'm in a bit of a jam, think you can rough my friends up a bit?" I asked. "Uh huh! Just give me coordinates and I'll be there!" Tasha replied. "What! Brutes! Attack!" yelled the chieftain. "Oh god damnit!" complained Trevor as he shot and killed two Grunt Ultras and then ducking behind cover. "MITCH! THIS IS TASHA! WHAT'S YOUR STATUS? OVER." It was Tasha over the com. "I'm fine" I replied "But could you speed things up a bit?" "I'M ALREADY HERE!" Tasha replied. A sniper shot then went past my face, and into one of the Brute Captains. Then, the Brute Chieftain picked me up by the throat and started to laugh." Haha! You Spartans are all alike, tell me, before I kill you in the name of the Prophets of Envy, Justice, and Providence, what is your perpose for these humans? You know as soon as this new war ends and my brethren are champions, what are they going to to with the other ones like you? Hmm?" Asked the Chieftain. "Are they just gonna kill you, and then throw that damaged suit into the flames as if it was nothing but an iron coffin?" Trevor raised his Battle Rifle, getting ready to shoot. "Don't listen to him Mitch! He's just trying to scare you so he can kill you quickly!" "Urgh! Thats always nice to know!." I replied. "Tell me, Chieftain, What are the Prophets planning?" Asked Verllan'a. By now, Verllan'a, Trevor, and Tasha were all surrounding the Brute Chieftain. "The Prophets of Envy, Justice, and Providence have rebuilt the entire Covenant
