User:SpartanS727/Halo: Spartan's Struggle

Overlooking the shattered Jacinto City, Spartan Head Hunter duo Dagger were ready to deploy. Thick black smoke hung present in the orange sunset of Harvest. Loading his sniper rifle, Charlie-76 looked over the Plateau.

"Elites!" A pair of Shangheili appeared in a tourist center, backed up by a trio of Grunts. Phu Phu Phu! Plasma rifles sounded. Hitting Dave's shields, the young trooper threw a grenade at the center of the Unnogy. A Blast destroyed the ground the Grunts were standing on, leaving the small soldiers in a terrible state.

BANG! A shot from the sniper rifle in Charlies ownership, shredded the wall, flying through a eliminating a Officer's shields. Dave jumped forward firing his shotgun into the orange-armored Elites stomach. Phu Phu Phu! The blue minor blasted his rifle at Dave, the scarring his EVA helmet. Dave pushed the Shangheili down a overlook. "Into the car" Charlie signaled for Dave to enter.

"The Covenant are laying waste to the UNSC in the lower city, we have to get moving." Charlie said in his thick Irish tongue, kneeling down in the back of a 'Hog. Dave-142 slammed his foot pedal. The M12 LAAV Warthog raced down the Illuma 15 Highway. Speaking of Illuma, the large city was of in the distance, largely hidden by mountains. A Covenant glassing was currently taking place.

"All UNSC teams, retreat to Jacinto Spaceport." The UNSC, Harvest Royal Infantry (Created under brief Prescott's reign as the Socialist Leader of Harvest) and the Harvest Colonial Militia (Which, before the Covenant, tried to maintain order due to the increasing rate of Insurgency on the Isolated Planet) were currently engaged in a last ditch effort at the condemmed city of Jacinto.

We came up on the the Tyran Bridge. The Giangantic super structure covered the Dorah Reef. The Warthog came to a halt, before road signs displaying that citizens should 'Evacuate to Jacinto' and 'Follow UNSC Instructions'. The Tyran was collapsed at the centre, burning concrete covering parts of the remaining road. "November Foxtrot, requesting air lift" "That's a negative, Dagger. Covenant air forces would shoot anything down before they even got close."

A Ear-Drum shattering sound came above the Tyran. A Assualt Carrier was now above us. A large section of the bridge fell into the blue Reef below.

"This is Dagger Actual, Covenant Carrier above the Dorah Reef has been sighted. Requesting MAC strike on target. Grid: Oscar Zulu 5628 Bravo 45, over." Charlie yelled through his small radio. "Dagger squad, all UNSC for - " The radio was interupted. "We lost Command's signal!" Charlie sounded.

A Purple light above shun bright as the New Hanover skyline. BOOM! A thick beam of blue plasma hit the charred fields and beaches around the Dorah, what remained of the Tyran Bridge fell into the Reef. The very ground was thrown into the air, the sand covering Dagger.

"Command!?" Dave yelled. Charlie got himself up, but was put back down again by a giant wave. A second blast from the Covenant ship hit the dying ocean before us. Within seconds we were covered in Hot Plasma, óur suits burnt into the very shore of the Plateau.

27 Years Later...

The Situatoin for the UNSC had gotten considebrly worse, no matter what the Office of Naval Intellengce liked to claim. "This is KR One Seven, we are aproaching LZ" A Pelican VTOL flew along the high peaks and blue sky of Reach. Passing a snow capped mountain the VTOL began a decent on a green valley. Flying above a small mountain community, Warthogs were parked among a scenic overlook. The Spartans aboard the Green Craft, all loosened their harness.

Pulling himself up, large Jorge announced he was looking for some payback: "Let's show the Covenant who owns this planet". Carter got himself the the Front of the pelican, Noble 6 following. Wearing his Commando Shoulder Plates, and a MJONIR Mark IV Helmet with his ice colored armor, threw a magazine in his MA37. The door at the back of the Pelican opened, light shun through the back door, with the Moon of Turul hanging overhead.

3 SPARTAN III Soldiers stood before Noble team, the leader holding a DMR over his shoulder. Carter leaning forward the shake his hand. "Good to see you again Carter" The leader took of his helmet, revealing a scarred face. "Likewise Michael".

Jun was the last the exit the Dropship, looking over at the Farkas Launch facilty. A S-III Trooper took off her helmet, revealing long blonde hair. She briefed us on our mission:

"Noble team, we are Sabre Team, well what's left of it." Sabre team was largely wiped out during the Siege of Harmony. "We have been ordered to assist in securing Covenant Nav data inside a Covenant cruiser. We will have Independent Reach Republic Air and Naval support. Our target is the Cruiser over the Aspho Fields, witch is giving the Estovakian Liberation Army a beating."

The ELA hadn't seen much action since the Panauan Occupation, due to the Energy Crisis of 2543, and the Independent Reach Republic's Nanosuit Insertions, witch both the SCORPION and the RAPTOR teams being immortalized during the action. I heard that, as RAPTOR was reduced to a little fraction of the Newer Supersoliders, SCORPION attacked numerous Covenant Positions.

4 Longsword fighters flew over our heads. Pounding a Covenant air defense position with missiles.

"Spartans, AA guns are down" Radioed a pilot. "Spartans, move out!" Michael called, as he was the highest ranking Spartan in the group. He'd seen his fair share of war and conflict. A UNSC marine placed his hand on Carter shoulder, telling him a Pelican was ready. A S-III Operative, boasting a Assault Rifle and Green Armour, finished with the RECON helmet, walked pat Jun. Loading his Sniper Rifle, Jun got himself to the Pelican. Emile loaded up his shotgun, and began sharpening his large Knife.

"We are getting scattered reports that the Estovakian Government are retreating to the Vectes naval base" We all made our way into the Pelican, and it's engines made a roar. The Pelican shook, and was airborn quickly. Flying out of the valley, the Pelican made it's way towards Aspho.

Aspho was known for being largely suppressed by the Government.

A Alarm sounded in the cockpit. "Pilot, what's happening?" Emile asked. "A unknown target has a lock on us. I'm going to try to get out of range." The Pilot fiddled around with the controls for a little while, but he soon reported. "Missile Launch on us!" BOOM! A rocket hit the left side of the Pelican, the aircraft leaning to the right side. The Left engine exploded, "Fasten harness!" The VTOL spun out, performing several 360 rotations in the air. Alarms sounded everywhere, the Pelican was falling apart in mid air, with the back door falling down to the surface. The pilot had the VTOL much more steady now, but it was going to crash.

"Who hit us?" Jun asked the pilot with his thick accent. "We took a RPG to the side, I'm guessing insurgents!"

The Pelican was losing altitude, fast. Large chunks of metal fell from the shattered Aircraft. BOOM! The Pelican smashed into a high mountain, the pilot was killed on impact. A Fall to the front of the VTOL left me asleep.

Cords hanging from the roof sparked, and an alarm sprayed red beams of light around what remained of the Pelican. "Noble 6, Noble 6. A297!" Jorge shook at my armor. My Energy Shields came on line, I soon became covered in a field of yellow armor. "Hey A297, nice sleep?"

"All Spartans, get ready to move out!" Michael called to the Sabre and Noble. "This is Sabre Alpha, requesting airlift". "That's a negative Sabre. Covenant have to area sealed tight."

We all made our way out of the Pelican, which was now largely segmented. We all began a trek across a snowy mountain face. The Grey rock and stone was watched by blue tinted clouds, and the fire of plasma and missles. The Mountains of Reach always impressed me.

The Spartans soon reached a green field, with farmhouses built into the blue snowy face of a mountain. Reach was lucky to avoid the slums and povety of much of poorer nations of Earth. The Problem was also starting the appear on Harmony, put the Covenant stopped that from happening. We made our way towards a cliffside walkthrough, looking at a sea laced with icebergs and glaciers. Reach was a lot colder then Earth.

"Be advised, this is Noble Actual, we have confirmed visual on target Cruiser. Placing waypoint to a trio of Falcons ready to take you to Target." The Ground rumbled as a huge Space Vessel flew over our heads. Covering the mountain side in darkness.

"Elites!" The 3rd Member of Sabre yelled. A Force of 5 Elites, 3 Minor, 1 Zealot and a officer emerged from a mountain home. "Get some heat on the building!" Carter said pointing his finger at the abandoned house.

The Spartans fired rounds at the house, MA37 rounds shredding the thick walls. The DMR shots were largely focused on the Shangheili's heads. BANG! A Eardrum Shattering round was fired from Jun's Rifle, flying through the air and into a Minor's skull - completely negating the effects of the Energy Shield. His Blue armor slumped to the ground, dropping a plasma rifle in a loud thud.

Blue Plasma shots burst from the Officers rifle. Several of the rounds hit Jun's Shield, and Carter pushing him behind a low wall. Carter responded with a burst of DMR fire.

"Plasma Grenade!' A Small blue ball of light landed on a power pole close to Jorge's position. The Spartan II falling to the ground, and his shields protecting him from the large part of the damage. The Pole sparked and fell to Reach's surface.

Sabre bravo looking for tactical opportunities with his RECON helmet VISOR, and he advised me the advance on the Elites right flank.

I did as I was told, diving under a lower garden. I advanced up a set of stairs and parked myself behind a pillar and was ready to take out an Elite on a balcony encircling the home. "Grenade out!" He screamed. A Thin tube flew through the air and landed at the Officer's feet.

ZAP! A EMP Grenade - the burst of Energy left the Orange Armored Elite unshielded. I Sprang from my cover, nailing into the Elite with my assualt rifle. The spray of fire quickly resulted in the Elites death.

BANG! A Round from Sabre Charlie's Gauss rifle, removed the Zealots sheild but left him unscarred. Emile jumped from the roof of the home, pounding a Minor with Shotgun rounds. The Minor fell to the ground, and Emile Showed no mercy.

"Who's next?!"

The Zealot switched on a Energy Sword, jumping over a overturned car. Lunging towards Jorge, toppling a hedge in his large footsteps. Jorge lent to the side, sending the Shangheili warrior into the open. A Spray of rounds, quickly taking him down.

"This is Noble 2 to Noble and Sabre actual, location?" (Kat was sitting this one out, due to nearby Plasma detonation at the Szurdok Ridge) "Heading towards target"

Whush! A Phantom dropship flew over. Performing a 180 degree turn over a rural police station, firing a huge blast of Plasma at the Spartans.

Jun called: "Target marked. Longsword approaching". In a few seconds, a Longsword flew over a huge mountain the tip covered in snow. In a supersonic boom the Longsword flew over our heads, firing a thin black tube at the Purple craft. BOOM! The wreckage of the craft fell down a clifface.

After the Spartans picked off the remaining Elites, the Cruiser which was located above us powered it's engines. "Ground Force, be advised I'm detecting a massive energy surge!" Carter who was standing on a platform, designed to let citizens have a look over at Uktozet. It also displayed advertisments urging citizens to pay a visit to Harmony. Of Course, this was terribly out dated. Fell backwards due the sheer power of any Covenant ship.

"It's going to jump!" The Cruiser left the skies above Aspho. A EMP blast left the Spartans amour at a below-average state, whist the shockwave blew them all away. Smashed into the rocky mountain face the Spartans began to get up, and command declared the mission a failure.

3 Months Later...

"I'm here at the Imperial Strip, Chinese People's Federation." A Network Earth journalist spoke over the TV. "We are getting reports from the UNSC that several Covenant Ships have breached the Orbital Defense Grid. The City of New Mombasa has been attacked, and a Covenant Army has layed siege to the Greater Chicago Industrial Zone. Riots have broken out in Central Africa and Western Europe. Prime Minister Earl Davidson had this to say: (A Video of the PM adressing the crowd at London Square was played) People of the World, we must remain calm. Rioting and voilence in the streets destoryed the Coastal Nation of Goyasana on Reach, we must not let that happen here."It had switched back to China.

"Reports indicate that at least 8 people have been killed in Republic of Nigeria by Riot Police. UNSC authorities are urging (She put emphasis on urging) the public to remain in a calm state. I'm down here with General Zhou Jingwei of the CPF Liberation Army"

A man in a green, trench jacket with several medals across his left side stepped foward and responded: "The Chinese People's Federation will be in full strength during the attack, and will be focusing on maintaining the peace in the area." At the end of the decorated General's (Who was also the Brother of Ming Jingwei, the female dictator of China) sentence, 2 Elephant Troop transports drove past, with missiles in the back.

BOOM! A Covenant Ship blasted through the Greater Hong Kong skyline. In the ship's exit from slipspace, windows smashed and a group of Military Helicopters fell into the ocean. "Get a shot of that!" The young reporter ordered her camera man. The Camera zoomed in on the Ship.

The Ship charged it glassing laser. A Chinese Solider told Zhou to leave, showing little regard for the North American Journalists. Things have always been a little tense between the U.S and China after the Operation: Anchorage. That was basically when the Chinese claimed some of the last petroleum in the world witch was based in Alaska. A 3 year war was fought in the North, but the Americans prevailed.

A Purple Beam fired at a Chinese Naval ship in the water. A thin blast of Plasma was enough to destroy the warship in a blast of Fire and Metal.

A UNSC Pelican flew down the the General's Position. It opened it's back door, and a Marine yelled for Zhou to enter.

The Camera Man and the Reporter tried to claim a seat but the Marine declared that there was not more room, despite the VTOL having several spare seats. The Pelican took off and flew above the Orange skyline.

BOOM! The Pelican shattered and parts of debris fell to the ground of Hong Kong. Banshees flew over the white street of the Broadcast spot. A M12 LAAV Was hit with a fuel rod blast, and flew into the air as it's fuel exploded.

A Gauss Warthog ripped around a narrow road, passing a large screen displaying Government Propaganda. A Spartan III manning the gun. "This is Oscar-B345 en route to target." Oscar drove over a overpass, driving down the right road, as the left was collapsed unto a large area of Slums lining a canal leading to the sea.

The Warthog passed another couple of screens, still displaying propaganda. Oscar shooting down a Phantom with the turret. It was surprising how quick the Covenant managed to deploy.

The Screens had now changed to messages advising the citizens that "The People's Government will protect you." I suppose that's still propaganda, but I was no expert.

"This is Command to November 1, come in November 1." "Got ya' Command" B345 said back. "The UNSC are preparing to MAC the Cruiser."

The Warthog drove down a modernized road, with blue and orange lights telling the cars where they could drive and where they were to stop. "Brute!" The Marine in the passenger seat yelled. A Plasma grenade stuck to the hull of the Warthog. Oscar jumped off, covering his Blue CQB Helmet with his hands, and the Warthog exploded. A Force of 4 Brutes appeared. Spiker rounds hit the walls behind the blue Spartan, collapsing parts of the white wall. A Brute Minor threw himself before Oscar.

Oscar fired his DMR at the Brutes chest, diminishing the Brutes shield. Oscar grabbed his large face and thrust his knife into the Alien's lung. Blood falling from the Minor's mouth.

Another Minor grabbed his Brute Shot, trying to hit the Human Warrior with the weapons blade. Oscar ducked, slicing the Brutes knee. The Brute groaned and fell to his feet, and the Spartan Gunning him down with his M7S Sub Machine Gun. A Jackal had parked himself in a balcony, firing a beam rifle shot at the Spartan's Chest. The Force threw him to the ground. Grabbing out his Magnum, he managed to kill a Major with headshots. He dragged himself behind a Police Car, sirens letting off a annoying sound.

The Last brute jumped on the Hood, and got ready the take out the Spartan. BANG! A Sniper Rifle round shredded the Brutes skull. A Marine waved to Oscar from across the Street.
