Front Line Outpost
Deploying from the UNSC Raven’s Nest, Fireteam Guardian was sent to Argo Mountain Range to assist and secure the front line outpost that was heavily under siege by both Covenant and Promethean forces. Jumping out of their pelican, Guardian made their way towards the outpost and meet up with the war veteran,. Securing the front of the outpost, Spartan Emily Todd quickly began using her knowledge of Forerunner technology to completely secure the outpost which was a Forerunner facility. After a minor skirmish with Promethean forces, Fireteam Guardian had completely secured the outpost and with Stacker and about three other marines went to find other possible marine deployments before nightfall. After only finding about five and a half squads, pelicans came down to retrieve both Stacker and Fireteam Guardian.

Forerunner Compound
Finding the primary source of most Forerunner activity on the planet, Guardian was sent to lockdown the facility and destroy the possible AI in command of the situation. Deploying along side several ’s, Guardian entered he dig site and encountered heavy Promethean resistance. Fighting their way into the the facility, Guardian then encountered, an ancient Promethean encountered by both and  and had not been seen since the Guardian Crisis.

Guardian began to engage the Warden and luckily banished him to wherever he came from. As Guardian moved deeper into the facility, another Warden spawned and soon, a whole army. That was the moment that the spartans realized that the Forerunner AI was Warden Eternal himself. While Guardian held of Warden, Spartan Christopher Drake attacked the AI and destroyed it along with Spartan Gabriella Gordon.

New Olympia
After attacking and stopping the Promethean threat on Guardian IV, Fireteam Guardian changed their focus on the Covenant as they began to attack New Olympia, a mega city on the continent of Ulysses. Fireteam Guardian were deployed into a Covenant dark zone and began to investigate. Moving deep into the dark zone, Guardian then discovered a Forerunner AI being used by Covenant forces. After Guardian killed the Covenant, they secured the AI who called itself 866 Helpful Compliance. Fireteam Guardian then escorted the AI to a Covenant jammer and destroyed it thus clearing up the sector.

Guardian then returned Compliance to Captain Michelson of the Raven’s Nest to interrogate Compliance. Spartan David Greyson was then deployed with Stacker to find a lost marine team in Sector 10 of New Olympia. Finding nothing more than fallen bodies, Stacker and Greyson were overrun by Promethean forces. Finding cover, a Sangheili warrior saved them both and all three returned to Raven’s Nest were the warrior revealed to be a servant of Spartan Todd’s father. Deciding to complete the mission first, Fireteam Guardian along with Compliance headed for the Covenant Base to stop them once and for all.

Assault on the Covenant
Fireteam Guardian, Master Sergeant Marcus Stacker, 866 Helpful Compliance, and the UNSC Raven’s Nest found the Covenant’s main base of operations of Guardian IV and attacked the base with full force. Spartan Drake lead several air force soldiers to claim the air while Spartans Greyson and Todd would deal with the Covenant AA guns and Spartan Gordon provided cover fire for all. Stacker escorted Compliance through the war zone to gain access to Covenant intel on possible commanders.

Soon, Drake was shot down by a Covenant Fuel Rod gun, but luckily survived and assisted the rest of Guardian to find the commander, Field Marshal ‘Sroam. Fireteam Guardian found the command post and made very quick work of ‘Sroam’s guards and quickly ended him. The death of ‘Sroam caused the Covenant into a retreat and the last two ships fled the system and were lost for a time.

Devil’s Cry
Restocking on ammo and soldiers, the UNSC Raven’s Nest along with 866 Helpful Compliance tracked and found the Covenant group that attacked Guardian IV to New Genus. Fireteam Guardian was the deployed via a stolen Spirit drop ship to infiltrate the fleet and the planet. Moving through the fleet and onto the surface,  Guardian discovered a Forerunner defense network beneath the planet unknown to both Covenant and UNSC. Using the defense network to clear away most of the fleet letting a UNSC fleet to attack.

Fleet Battle
After landing and retrieving Guardian, the UNSC Raven’s Nest returned to orbit and engaged the Covenant forces. As Guardian entered the outer atmosphere, the UNSC Emerald Ring, Defender, Tower of Judgement and Lewis were clearing up the Covenant from space. Sadly, the Lewis and Defender were shot down and fell to the surface below. Splitting Guardian in half, Spartans Greyson and Gordon would investigate the fallen ships for survivors whilst Todd and Drake would assist the Raven’s Nest, Emerald Ring and Tower of Judgement deal with the Covenant. Finding almost no survivors aside from Lieutenant Cutter and his squad of air force pilots, Greyson and Gordon made their way back to their LZ and awaited pick up. Reuniting, Guardian and the rest of the UNSC chased the Covenant away from New Genus and saved the rest of the planet.

Arriving on Sanghelios
Using a stolen Storm Faction Phantom, Fireteam Guardian arrived on Sanghelios to investigate possible Forerunner activities. Once arriving on the planet, Guardian engaged the local Covenant group, Devil’s Cry and attacked several outpost. As they were about to break into a no-man’s land, Guardian came across Mahkee Zattin, Todd’s old school teacher when she grew up on Sanghelios. Freeing her, Greyson and Todd called down Compliance who was piloting their phantom to pick up the spartan and the wounded teacher while the rest of Guardian pushed own to find Mahkee’s students. Finding them, Guardian, Mahkee and the children returned to Zattin Village, the capital of the State of Zattin.

Zattin Village
Returning to Todd’s village, Fireteam Guardian found Todd’s adoptive father Thel Zattin, the head scientist for the whole state. After a few minutes of catch up, Emily Todd’s father agreed to help both her and her team so long as would accompany them. Also joining the spartans and Thel was his older brother Rtas Zattin, the village’s Kaidon. Traveling to the source of the transmission, Guardian the two sangheili went to work and eventually found themselves at a Forerunner site.

Fearing for the village’s safety, the group then planted explosives to crack down the door. Once inside, Helpful Compliance went to work accessing the station’s network when the Warden Eternal arrived yet again. Thel and Rtas held off the Promethean while Guardian attempted to stop the station. Drawing his sword, Warden attacked Todd and almost killed her wasn’t not for both her father and Spartan Greyson’s help. Unfortunately, Thel was injured and sacrificed himself to save his daughter.

Orbital Bombardment
After the station was shut down, thousands of dormant promethean soldiers darted for the surface along with Devil’s Cry faction. Captain Michelson requested permission for an orbital bombardment to stop both the Covenant and Promethean forces, the agreed. After firing, nearly all prometheans were dead along with the Covenant. After Thel’s death ceremony, Guardian was forced to leave for a future deployment with a heart-broken Emily Todd.

Discovering the Ring
Tracking Uhze ‘Nar and Tican ‘Vou, the UNSC Rio and Raven’s Nest discovered Installation 07 along the outer rim of the Milky Way. Finding both the sub-fleets of Demon Hunters and The Great Harvest, Fireteam Guardian and Shield Team deployed to engage the Covenant, but both fleets were already engaged in combat with Insurrectionist. Recommending that the UNSC gets an easy hold on the ring, Shield Team and Guardian were sent onto the ring with the UNSC Raven’s Nest to provide cover fire. Holding an old temple as a LZ for human forces, the spartans began to move through the ancient world along with marines. Finding alternate paths, Guardian took the right while Shield took the left.

Finding Insurrectionist
Moving through the dense jungles of Zeta Halo, Fireteam Guardian engaged multiple Insurrectionist camps and several Covenant outposts. Finding Insurrectionist as prisoners of the Covenant, Fireteam Guardian interrogate them and discovered the whereabouts the commanders aside from Marcus Wright. Guardian was deployed to hunt down General Patrick Matthews and stop him not matter what the cost. Hunting down both Matthews and Covenant command, Guardian was recalled back to the Raven’s Nest to combat the Covenant.

Fighting the Covenant
Sending the Seeker of Doom to bomb the Raven’s Nest, Tican ‘Vou and Uhze ‘Nar began to hunt Shield for the Index. Using a destroyer from the Demon Hunters and the Serpent’ Pass, Shield Team and Fireteam Guardian found Seeker of Doom and glassed the ship, killing Tican in the process. ‘Nar then took command of the Demon Hunters and attacked the Rio while above the ring.

Finding Guardian yet again, the monitor was then transferred into the Rio and teleported Shield to assist the ship and Captain Janeiro. Deploying in pelicans, Shield Team boarded two corvettes and used them to attack The Great Demise and the rest of the Demon Hunters. Forcing the Covenant into a retreat, the Rio redeployed Shield onto the ring while it transferred their findings and the Index to ONI and the UNSC.

The Truce
Intercepting a transmission from the Insurrectionist leader, General Patrick Matthews, the UNSC learned of peace talks happening between both the Insurgents and the Covenant. Deciding to break the truce, Shield Team, Fireteam Guardian and the Raven’s Nest attacked the location of the peace talks and in the progress killed General Matthews, but before the general’s death, he stabbed Spartan Cunningham in the spine, and throwing him off a cliff to his death. Staying on the ring for just another two days until the Rio arrived with reinforcements, Shield Team took time to honor their fallen spartan and friend.

Coalition of the New Earth Government
Returning to, Fireteam Guardian was briefed on a new large scale Insurrection known as the Coalition of the New Earth Government and their lead enforcer, codenamed SABER. Greyson, Drake and Gordon went on a scout op to another facility to receive more intel on SABER, Todd stayed and retrieved any other intel on the Coalition she could. While driving down the highway, Guardian was engaged by SABER and a squad of Insurgents. Drake provided cover from the bridge above while Gordon and Greyson evacuated the civilians and engaged SABER.

After being wounded by the ex spartan, Gordon went to cover while Greyson engaged SABER. After a brief fight, Greyson learned the identity of SABER, his long time high school enemy, Andrew Dallas. Drake tacked the rogue spartan and Gordon shot him but still Dallas was able to escape leaving Guardian confused and scarred.

Avery Class Takeover
A few hours later, Guardian met the other rogue spartans Matthew Sabjoi and Cassy Arnold and engaged them. Escaping, the rogues dropped some intel that three new Avery Class Heavy Cruisers was hijacked by the Coalition. Gathering targeting data, the Coalition planned to attacked and kill all of Sydney. Luckily, ONI had a contingency plan, using codes to have the auto turrets change targets from the city to the other ships. The spartans of Guardian were sent to stop the cruisers by using the codes and kill all insurrectionist on board and arrest the rogue spartans. Todd and Drake boarded the UNSC Thoraces, Gordon the UNSC New Century and Greyson the UNSC Avery.

Three V. Four
Drake and Todd were successful but were engaged by a large insurrectionist group led by Sabjoi, who Drake engaged in a fist fight but was beaten. After Drake was on the ground Todd used her Sangheili training and knocked out Sabjoi. Gordon was also successful but as she exited the control hub, she was attacked by Arnold who used a prototype Human Energy Sword designed by ONI.

Entering the control hub. Greyson was also attacked by Dallas who also wielded an Sword, and thus Greyson pulled out an electric baton and the two began to duel. After and intense fight, Greyson was able to replace the targeting data with the codes and shoved Dallas into the waters below. The ships began to fire upon each other killing several insurgents but luckily, Gordon was also able to kill Arnold by stabbing her in the thought after an equally intense duel.

Finale
The ships were brought back to the ground below and the surviving Insurgents were arrested along with Sabjoi. After interrogating the rogue spartan, he relieved that their was a complex on Luna holding his CO, Colonel John Fenix and thus Guardian was redeployed.

Arriving on Luna
After the leader talked, Fireteams Guardian,, and were deployed to the surface of  to confirm the sightings. Arriving on Luna, the teams made their way towards an old research facility used during the Human-Covenant War. Finding plenty of Insurgents, Greyson took command and ordered a three pronged attack on the facility. Capturing two scorpions the Fireteam Switchback lead the distraction while fireteams Crimson and Guardian entered the complex.

Raid on Luna
Fireteams Guardian and Crimson entered the station only to find themselves attacked by Insurgents. Ordering Crimson to find another way around, Greyson and the rest of Guardian engaged the Insurrectionist. Taking cover from turret fire Guardian went to action, first eliminating the turrets then opposing snipers. Greyson and Todd then pushed up forcing the Insurrectionist back. While this was happening, Crimson was downloading all data on the area whilst Switchback eliminated the outside defenses.

Fireteam Guardian then entered the command center and arrested the leader Colonel John Fenix. Just before however, Dallas had returned and survived with a few scars. Hoping to finish what he had started, Greyson engaged Dallas and two dueled. As they dueled, Fenix broke free and attacked the rest of Guardian. After another intense fight, both Fenix and Dallas died by a bullet and a knife to the face respectively. Switchback and Crimson reported that the station was cleared and most surviving Insurgents had surrendered.

Battle of Iris
Indie Colony

Fireteam Guardian was deployed to the Independent Colony, Iris a planet glassed back in 2536. Coming onto the planet via space elevator, the spartans quickly discovered the planet was under siege by both Covenant and Promethean forces. Getting employed by President Whewell, Guardian went to work securing the local settlement and move towards the city of Draxus.

Fall of a Brother
Being assigned to assist a marine squad by an old mining exploration, Guardian arrived to discover all the marines dead and one scientist dying. The scientist explained it was some alien technology on then the spartans were attacked by Promethean forces.

Moving towards their escape route, Gordon went to the ground to get an old pick-up truck ready while the rest of Guardian made sure that the Promtheans didn’t hit a gas pump that could kill them all. Spartan Drake realizing that if he did not do something, Guardian would fall. Thus he jumped down from his cover, entered a truck, drove down the tunnel, turned around and drove into the gas pump, killing all the prometheans.

Final Day
Returning to Draxus, Guardian was asked to help assist with attacking the Covenant fleet orbiting the planet. Having no other choice, Guardian went into a pelican and headed for the fleet. Evading constant fire from seraphs, the spartans landed on a corvette with three teams of marines. Gaining access to the bridge, Spartan Gordon took control and few the ship right underneath several cruisers and a single carrier.

Priming the slip-space drive to go critical, Spartans Greyson and Todd along with the surviving marines escaped the corvette with Gordon and watched the ships get sucked into oblivion. Calling for reinforcements, Fireteam Guardian was picked up by the UNSC Raven’s Nest just an hour later.
