Spartan-024 A Halo story arc by Kevin Montell Moore

Opening Scene 1: Owen, Jason, Angela, Sergeant O’Kelly, and Private Mills are currently connected to Commander Delgrant via a SATCOM link. Commander Delgrant’s voice fades in and out due to the major mechanical problems he has caused by multiple plasma torpedoes. Sergeant O’Kelly offers to stay and guard rally point beta while the Spartans find a more appropriate Base of Operations.

Commander Delgrant: (via SATCOM) Sergeant you are now promoted to Captain and Private Mills Gunnery Sergeant is your new rank. Your new orders are to fend off the oncoming Covenant assault while Spartan-024 and the rest of Fire Team Bravo find a better Base of Operations. Understood?

Captain O’Kelly: Sir, what if they fail to find a better base?

Commander Delgrant: Then you are to use “The Argo” as a base.

Captain O’Kelly: Sir, yes sir!

Sergeant Mills: Sir, permission to go with the Spartans.

Commander Delgrant: Denied, you are to protect Rally Point Beta against any and all Covenant forces. Delgrant out (Transmission cuts)

Sergeant Mills: (Growls) Fine, let’s go Red.

Captain O’Kelly: Good luck Spartans.

Jason: No, good luck to you Sir. (Returns O’Kelly’s solute)

(The Spartans leave, and Captain O’Kelly speaks with his marines)

Marine 1: Sarge, do you think we can hold long enough? I mean it took 3 hundred of us to fend off 50 brutes and 1 hundred of those little grunt thing!

Captain O’Kelly: Well marine lets put it this way-

Mills: We’re gonna last as long is it takes or we gonna arm a HAVOCK tactical nuke! Understood?

Marine 1: Sir, Yes Sir! Sarge……you’ve been promoted should we be calling you Captain? Captain O’Kelly: Yes.

Marine 2: CONTACT! WE HAVE-(shot dead in the back of the head)

Mills: HELL YEAH SOME ACTION! (Takes cover and opens fire on the thousands of grunts coming up the causeway)

Captain O‘Kelly: Everyone take cover! Galbadon arm the HAVOC and set proximity fuse for 10 minutes that should give Mills time to run out 100 yards drop it and run back.

Mills: Hell yeah you know I can do it!

Lieutenant Galbadon: B-but sir! There’s easily a thousand of them and their advancing quickly!

Mills: STOW IT! Quit your wining and be a damn hard ass, marine!

Lieutenant Galbadon: Y-yes!( sets the proximity fuse)

Mills: Is it set up?! Lieutenant Galbadon: yes!

(Sergeant Mills heaves the 350 pound bomb onto his back and darts out towards the enemy, on the way he notices that hundreds of marine bodies lay not 60 yards from his destination, he’s a hard ass but thinks to himself “These marines died for this planet and now no one will ever see their faces again” he pushes his thoughts aside and runs as fast as he can to his destination now 20 feet ahead all the way dodging plasma rounds, he plants the bomb and opens fire then turns on his heel and takes off running, he gets back and seals the blast doors on the building that is rally point Beta)

Mills: Close the doors! Get those blast doors closed now!

(The blast doors seal and just in time, a dull thumb and then a roll of thunder through the earth has the marines on their feet hoping that the HAVOC did its job)

Captain O’Kelly: Wait a minute then open the blast doors. Mills that was some damn good running!

Mills: Heh yeah I thought you’d like it.

Lieutenant Galbadon: Captain! I think you should look at this. Captain O’Kelly: What is it Lieutenant? (Lieutenant Galbadon opens the blast doors completely and shows the aftermath of the hell they just wrought)

Sergeant Mills: (Whistles) Dayum! Look at this shit, Four covenant Phantoms, an army of Banshees, and look even a few wraiths HAHA! TAKE THAT YAH BASTARDS!!!!

Lieutenant Galbadon: Sir, SATCOM is on the horn….its Rear Admiral Montoya.

Admiral Montoya: O’Kelly?! What the hell is going on down there?

Captain O’Kelly: Admiral? When did you get in-system?

Admiral Montoya: I’m asking the questions! What the fuck just happened down there? We had hundreds of Covenant units on our radar then they all disappeared! What happened?!

Captain O’Kelly: Sir we detonated a HAVOC tactical nuke, and I ask again Sir when did you get in-system?

Admiral Montoya: A few minutes ago, Vice Admiral Stanforth brought a force to be reckoned with! We have Phoenix Colony ships with us and are ready to ferry civilians off the planet!

Captain O’Kelly: Good, good! Where do we bring them?

Admiral Montoya: There’s a UNSC docking station 600 clicks to the south of your position get to it the colony ships will be waiting! Admiral out!

(SATCOM link is cut and O’Kelly surveys his men)

Captain O’Kelly: Mills, how many hogs we got? Mills: 20 hogs all troop transports, 10 hornets and 2 Scorps. What did you have in mind?

Captain O’Kelly: Hmmm lets get a convoy together, all the extra troops-

Sergeant Mills: HAH! Look in the sky!

Captain O’Kelly: The Phoenix Transports, and a Vulture?!

Mills: Lets get going Red! By the way I get a tank! Gonna bring the pain, know what I mean Bomb-Baddie is in the house!!

(Captain O’Kelly, Sergeant Mills get all civilians into the convoys and as many Marines into the Hornets, The amount of Marines is too great however and most of the Marines are forced to hoof it and guard the convoy hogs)

End Scene 1

Opening Scene 2: As O’Kelly and Mills get the convoy to the UNSC platform, The Spartans and the ODST’s are having a hard time finding a well guarded base of Operations. The covenant are everywhere and that’s making it hard for the Spartans (especially Jason) to hide and sneak around the enemy.

ODST Officer: This is bullshit lets get into the action and kill these fuckers!

Arianna: (Over secure comm. Channel) Shut it soldier we need to be quiet and not draw attention to ourselves if we do we could all die!

Jason: She has a point, if we get into a big enough fire fight we’re going to attract enough attention and get our asses handed to us.

ODST Officer: Yeah whatever.

Arianna: Owen we’re getting a transmission from….Uhm a Covenant ship.

Owen: This can’t be good. Patch ‘em through.

Elite: (Over comm. Channel) Humans this is Art’ek Va’enem of the Covenant separatists under Fleet Mastress Delilah’s command. Where is your location we will drop in troops to aid you!

Owen: Uh negative we have too many hostiles here, LZ is hot, dropping troops wouldn’t be good.

Art’ek: Let us worry about that.

(Seconds later a Covenant Cruiser passes overhead and drops 50 pods from its under carriage, the covenant troops on the ground brace for the assault)

Grunt Soldier: What is that! RUNAWAY!

Brute Captain: Stay your feet! This threat is weak and we can destroy them!

Brute Soldier: (snort) Heh I ern’t had no meat since the battle on the first puny human planet!

(The Covenant pods land and pop open revealing armored and prepared for battle Elites)

Al‘redi: You shall pay for your insolence Apollo!

Apollo: (Snort, Grunt) Lets go Al’redi!

(The Elite Al’redi and the Brute Captain Apollo attack each other minutes later Al’redi snaps Apollo’s neck and then attacks the other Covenant soldiers, the Elite Separatists slaughter all Covenant troops in their path)

Al’redi: Humans the path is clear!

Owen: (Whistles) Damn look at the carnage. Looks like hell.

Al’redi: Our orders are to ensure your success in this mission. We serve you proudly human.

Jason: We’re called Spartans! Get it right!

Al’redi: My apologies silver one. Spartans we will guide you to your destination.

Jason: That’s more like it. What’s going on…why are the Covenant helping us?

Al’redi: We are not Covenant! We are servants of the great Princess Delilah, or as you will refer to her as Fleet Mistress!

Jason: Make me call her that, split lip!

Owen: (Stands between them) STOP! We don’t need any casualties! We need all the troops we can get…..Jason shoulder your weapon and lets go!

Jason: (Scowls and grits teeth) yes sir!

(Al’redi his elites, The Spartans and the ODST’s move out to find a well protected building that they could use as a base, O’Kelly is having smooth sailing as he and the civilian convoy move to the UNSC naval ship yard)

Captain O’Kelly: Damn this place is hell, bodies, obliterated ships, flames everywhere. Why haven’t the Covenant glassed the planet already, I wonder?

Mills: (Over comm.) Our boys up in space are keeping them busy heh, heh, heh the UNSC always gets the job done.

Captain O’Kelly: Maybe, and maybe the Covenant are waiting for us those Phoenix Carriers are bound to draw tons of attention to themselves.

(2 Marines guard the rear and don’t suspect the sneak attack that the Covenant have in store for them)

Marine Officer: Damn this convoys moving slow….. We need to hurry up if we’re gonna get to the ship yard before the Covenant attack.

Marine Private: (Looks over his shoulder) Sir, my radar must be broken. I’m picking up movement behind us, and there’s nothing there.

Marine Officer: Eh don’t worry about it once we get those civilians to the Colony ships it’ll all be over and we can get off this rock.

Marine Private: Yeah ok, Sir we should get this convoy moving fast-(He is lifted up into the air and flung 20 yards away)

Marine Officer: OH MY GOD! COVENANT ATTACK! (Opens fire behind himself, and 10 Covenant Elite Honor Guards emerge from cloaking)

Elite Honor Guard: Get them, slaughter these heretics!!

(All Marines rush back to guard the transport hogs, the transport hogs speed up and begin racing down the road, the hornets follow them, a Covenant Banshee launches a plasma missile at one of the transport hogs incinerating it instantly, the Hornets then annihilate the Banshee)

Captain O’Kelly: PROTECT THE HOGS!!!! Mills follow the Convoy protect them at all costs!

Mills: On it Red (Drives away in Scorpion tank)

Captain O’Kelly: GIVE ‘EM HELL MARINES!

(Smoke is thick in the air and explosions are plentiful, Marines are taking cover behind destroyed Covenant vehicles, a Transportation hog is on fire and only one breathless survivor emerges, he screams for help but is gunned down by an Elite wielding a Covenant Needler)

Marine 1: We’re getting slaughtered out here Captain!! We wont last much longer if we don-(3 Needler shards hit him in the back he takes a split second breath and then the needles explode, he crumbles to the ground dead)

Captain O’Kelly: DAMN IT! Harland! Corporal Harland Where are you?!

Corporal Harland: Right here sir!

Captain O’Kelly: Do you still have the fireworks?!

Corporal Harland: Sir, yes sir! Right here on my back Capt’!

Captain O’Kelly: Light the candles Corporal! Send them to hell!

Corporal Harland: On it Capt’!! (He unloads two Jackhammer rockets into the center of the Covenant Elite ranks, the explosion causes all Covenant Elites to scatter) JACKPOT!

Captain O’Kelly: Good job Corporal! Lets move out Marines!!!

(As the Covenant Elites get their wits back two more Jackhammer rockets explode into the base of their ranks and sends them flying, the remaining Elites flee)

Corporal Harland: That’s right you mothers! RUN! Like the little bastards you are!!! (Gets a cigar and lights the end of it) Damn smells like a good day! (Walks away)

(O’Kelly and the Marines move down the road, hundreds of grunts lay dead on the side of the road, smoke and flames tower over head, The Naval ship yard is only 200 meters away)

Marine 2: Damn took us long enough! Lets move guys!

(O’Kelly and the Marines move towards the Naval shipyard and when they get there they find Sergeant Mills and the Civilians outside the Phoenix Class Colony ships)

Sergeant Mills: HAH! What took you guys so long?! We’ve been waiting for at least 10 minutes!

Captain O’Kelly: We ran into some trouble in the back…..what’s up with all the grunts on the side of the road?

Sergeant Mills: Heh they cut in front of us, the lunch line don’t allow ugly bastards!

Captain O’Kelly: Get the civilians inside while me and the Marines take guard.

Sergeant Mills: Sir, yes sir! (Solutes turns around and starts helping people out of the hogs and into the Colony ships, Mills also helps the civilians into the Colony ships, Corporal Harland takes up the position of Recognizance, he soon falls in with horrible news)

Corporal Harland: CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN! We have Covenant coming up the bend ands there’s a lot of them!

Captain O’Kelly: DAMN! (Radios to Sergeant Mills) What’s this bird carrying?

Sergeant Mills: (Over radio) Its got a MAC gun, over 600 close quarters 75 mm chain-guns, and over 12 dozen Archer pod missiles. Why? We have problems?

Captain O’Kelly: Lots of them and they come in plasma based wrappers!

Sergeant Mills: I’ll get these birds off the ground you take out the tootsie pops!

Captain O’Kelly: On it, O’Kelly out! (Radio link goes dead) Corporal what’s our status with the Red Carpet?

Corporal Harland: Laid out and ready for the Celebes!

Captain O’Kelly: Good, good now take defensive positions in the buildings and if you have any enemy units in your sights take as many shots as you need.

Marine 2: Sir, yes sir! Lets take these bitches down! No one stops the soul train! Aint that right boys?! (2 Black Marines answer back with a loud WOOP WOOP!!)

Captain O’Kelly: Oh god, Marines, show no mercy for you will get none!!

(dust is seen on the horizon and all the Marines await the inevitable slaughter, when the Covenant are finally visible, the Phoenix class Colony ships start to ascend into the atmosphere)

Sergeant Mills: Heh all civilians are on the Colony ships and are leaving the planet they should be entering the Procyon System soon!

Captain O’Kelly: then we’ve done our job….its up to the fly boys to see those civilians to safety.

(Thousands of Covenant Grunt infantry race across the plains and into the city, unaware of the Red Carpet that’s been set out for them. [Red Carpet is a spider web formation of Lotus anti-tank mines that incinerates all that are in the path of its destruction])

(BOOM! Smoke and debris rocket skyward as the Red Carpet sets off destroying anything and everything in its path)

Sergeant Mills: LETS TAKE ’EM DOWN!!!! (Opens fire along with the rest of planet Troy’s Marines)

End Scene 2

Opening Scene 3: The battle on ground is nothing compared to the Carnage in space. The Phoenix class Colony ships are just entering the orbit around planet Troy, and are beginning to enter Slip Space escorted by two Ultra Anti-Everything Vultures. Admiral Stanforth. Rear Admiral Montoya, and Commander Delgrant, along with the Covenant Separatists are all fighting with their remaining ships (600 Covenant Separatists, 3 Leviathan Super carriers, 6 Marathon class Cruisers, 5 Jericho class Cruisers, and 25 Destroyers) The Covenant are throwing everything against their unyielding enemies. Commander Delgrant contacts the Phoenix class Colony ship “Polyphemus” that he now sees on his top left right view screen.

Commander Delgrant: Lieutenant Jacobson, get FLEETCOM (Fleet communication) Online and patch me through to the “Polyphemus”.

Lieutenant Jacobson: Aye Sir! (Her fingers race across the keyboard) “Polyphemus” Is on FLEETCOM sir.

Commander Delgrant: Thank you lieutenant! Major Thomson its good to see your still in one piece!

Major Thomson: Ah and its good to see you too Delgrant. Good work here. The Marines down there seem to be in trouble though you might want to get some Pelicans down there, they could use them.

Commander Delgrant: Eh, erm I uh sent all my troops groundside when the Covenant first showed up. I thought better to have them on the ground then up here. Can you spare a Vulture? Major Thomson: I could, but if we are attacked one Vulture won’t do much good against thousands and thousands of Covenant Siph fighters.

(“Achilles” one of the UNSC Leviathan Super Carriers is hit with multiple plasma torpedoes, and then melts into a boiling ball of metal, and nuclear waste, then plummets into Planet Troy‘s atmosphere)

Commander Delgrant: Dear god……Major I’m gonna have to call you back! (FLEETCOM link is cut) Lieutenant Jacobson, Target one of the bigger Covenant ships and let those Bastards have it!

Lieutenant Jacobson: On it! (Taps rapidly on her keyboard) MAC guns firing!

(The lights dim on the bridge, and two dull thumps resonate throughout the hull of Commander Delgrant’s ship, two bolts of white hot metal shoot through space and hit dead center into the middle of a Covenant CFS-Flagship)

Commander Delgrant: Good shot! (Pats the young lieutenant on her shoulder, his smile fades and turns to horror as the flames and smoke clear away and reveal an undamaged Covenant Ship underneath) Damnit! Get me firing solutions on the last of our Archer Pod Missiles, and warm up the MAC guns again!

Lieutenant Jacobson: On it sir! (Types rapidly on her keyboard) Sir, MAC guns are hot and all Archer pod missiles are ready to be deployed!

Commander Delgrant: Open fire!!

(Again two dull thumps resonate throughout the hull of the “Chimera” on the secondary view screen, two white hot twin bolts of metal shoot through space followed by a trail of missiles, The Covenant Flag ship moves out of the way and reveals a smaller Covenant CCS-battle cruiser, The two MAC rounds pound through the smaller Covenant ship gutting it from stem to sternum in the wake of the MAC rounds destruction the Archer pod missiles hit seconds after forcing the ship to implode on itself)

Commander Delgrant: Good shot Lieutenant! Get us the hell out of range of that Flag ship, Private Kirvan!

Private Kirvan: Aye Sir! What’s our heading?!

Commander Delgrant: I don’t care just get us out of range!

Private Kirvan: On it! (Taps as fast as possible on keyboard)

(“the Chimera” Moves slowly out of the way of the Covenant Flag ship, forgetting that turning your back on the enemy meant almost certain death Commander Delgrant remembers at the last second)

Commander Delgrant: Oh shit! GET US OUT OF THE WAY NOW!!

Lieutenant Jacobson: sir?

(Plasma torpedoes hit 6 different places on “the Chimera”, most of the hull is melted through, a Covenant Separatist ship takes the remaining 20 plasma torpedoes and plummets into planet Troy’s atmosphere burning up before hitting the ground)

2nd Lieutenant Cortez: SIR!! All hulls breached sealing all decks off! Armor down to 9 centimeters!

Commander Delgrant: Damnit!!! Get us into the atmosphere NOW!

Lieutenant Jacobson: SIR look the Phoenix Colony ships are leaving the Hellespont system!

(Just then as the refitted Phoenix class colony ships enters slip space escaping the Covenant onslaught, a huge plasma beam slashes through the secondary Phoenix class colony ship killing everyone on board within seconds of the plasma beam hit, millions of screams are heard and then silence)

Admiral Stanforth: (Over FLEETCOM) Dear god! ALL SHIPS OPEN FIRE NOW!!!

( All UNSC ships open fire and destroy over 70 covenant Ships, the 2 UNSC Leviathan Super Carriers Open fire on the Covenant Flag Ship Devine Design, the Flag ship explosively decompresses after being hit by 3 rounds per ship, Millions of Covenant Siph fighters and Longsword fighters explode or disintegrate into nothing but dust in space, commander Delgrant and his ship escape the fray and manage to enter the atmosphere, and put out the fires on the outside of the ship)

Commander Delgrant: Good job Cortez. God what makes these things so damn vicious?!

End Scene 3

Opening Scene 4: The Covenant Juggernaut slaughters thousands without blinking an eye, The Prophet of Mercy sits on his high thrown in the center Temple inside the Covenant Capital city Unknown Judgment. His high Commanding Lieutenant Akri’ De’grumee stands in his sights along with his company, a group of battle hardened Elites named Dragonnairs for their ancient dragon designed armor. Akri’ awaits the Prophets orders.

Prophet of Mercy: So, you stand before me a failure? Or you stand before me with good news of the assault?

Akri’: Noble prophet the humans are valiant in their defense of this single planet. We swarm them in space but on ground they have warriors of God-like appearance. They will not easily fall as so we thought before this fray began

Prophet of Mercy: I care not for your problems…..have you found the relic?

Akri’: Indeed we have, though we have not the tools to uncover it fully. Humans are approaching it seeking it for shelter thinking it of our make.

Prophet of Mercy: If the humans are allowed to enter the structure then you will be considered a heretic for such treason. You will be marked and you will have your entrails strung up on poles while the grunts feast upon you.

Akri’: Noble Prophet of Mercy the humans shall not enter the relic. So I swear it upon my head and the heads of my Elites.

Prophet of Mercy: For your sake….you better pray to the gods that they do not enter the Relic. You are dismissed.

(With a wave of his hand Akri’ and his company leave the temple and enter into a Phantom drop ship and depart for planet Troy, after the Elites leave two creatures stir in the shadows)

Prophet of Mercy: Oranos….what news do you bring?

Oranos: The humans are weak, the Separatists….they are but a nuisance and will be dealt with soon enough.

Prophet of Mercy: What of the human fleet?

Oranos: It is-

The Cord: (Interrupts Oranos) It is failing we have destroyed many of their ships. They will retreat soon enough.

Prophet of Mercy: Good….Cord are you ready to destroy those that were dear to you?

The Cord: I’m waiting for it….my weapon aches for blood of my enemies.

Prophet of Mercy: Oranos take him to the planet. Kill his friends….if he hesitates…kill him too.

Oranos: (Grunts in approval) It shall be done my liege.

Prophet of Mercy: Now leave me! The other Prophets call me to their council!

(Oranos and The Cord leave the Temple)

Prophet of Mercy: Noble Prophets of Truth and Regret what ails you to call me to your council?

Prophet of Truth: (Hologram) I wish to know your standing in this war against ONE planet.

Prophet of Mercy: The humans hold us off. We are destroying their soldiers on the ground….with them gone there will be no need for the humans to guard the planet and they sh-

Prophet of Regret: We care not! We need the information about the Relics!

Prophet of Mercy: We have found them. Though our ships cannot get through to uncover them.

Prophet of Truth: I care not about your problems as our brother Regret has stated. Get your ships in there and uncover our Relics!

Prophet of Mercy: It shall be done Noble Prophet of Truth.

Prophet of Truth: It better be. Now leave our council!

Prophet of Mercy: Yes my liege! (The Holograms of Truth and Regret fade and then disappear)

(The Prophet of Mercy plans out the destruction of the humans and the uncovering of the Relics, in his plans he decides to eradicate the humans on the planet and in the atmosphere, a devious plan…..he plans to fire Unknown Judgments main plasma bolt cannon)

End of scene 4

Opening Scene 5: Captain O’Kelly and the 31st drop jet platoon along with Sergeant Mills and the 1st Demolishers platoon retreat to the Golabi desert 26 miles outside SunRing City. O’Kelly spots a structure out in the middle of the desert.

Captain O’Kelly: There’s something out there! Move towards it!

Marine Private: What if its infested with Covenant?

Sergeant Mills: Then we’ll use your ass as a shield! Now move it Private!

(O’Kelly and Sergeant Mills and the marines make a run for it completely ignoring the plasma burst that just exploded not 10 yards away from them, they enter the ruins to find hundreds of Grunts and even more Elites)

Sergeant Mills: Oh for the love of god!

Captain O’Kelly: shh! We don’t want them to know we’re here yet!

Marine Officer: Sir, a grunt approaches. Want us to take ‘em out quietly?

Captain O’Kelly: Take to the shadows and kill it…without! A sound, understood?

Marine Officer: roger (unsheathes a knife)

Grunt: (sniff sniff) Hey I sm- (Stabbed through the throat, then dragged into the shadows)

Marine Officer: Threat neutralized. Sergeant Mills: We have company, our friends from outside wanna play catch.

Captain O’Kelly: That’s not good……fall back, find a place to hide in these ruins, or we die!

(The High Chieftain Oranos enters the Ruins along with The Cord)

Oranos: (Sniffs) I smell something. Francis: What is it Chieftain?

Captain O’Kelly: (Pulls two SMG’s from his thigh holsters [These SMG‘s are specially made to fire high grade Steel rounds that are filled with minimal grade explosives that would turn any Grunt or un-protected covenant soldier into a small pile of bone, blood and bits of flesh]) Time for the lovers.

Sergeant Mills: Romeo n Juliet eh? You sure your gonna need that much firepower?

Captain O’Kelly: It would take at least 200 conventional marines to take down that chieftain. I’ve seen how his hammer works. It produces super heated air that any human or even any covenant soldiers dumb enough to get in its way burns and melts away like plastic.

Marine Officer: God damn, why such a deadly weapon plasma weaponry works good against us as is.

Marine Private: Oh god! I’m getting outta here! (Gets up and tries running out the entrance)

Grunt: Over there!! (Opens fire with a Needler)

Oranos: (Crushes Grunt with his Hammer Eclipse) Cord it is your chance to slay one of your friends. Do it now!

The Cord: With pleasure! (He pulls an energy Sword off his leg and Runs it through the Marine who tried escaping, then tosses the marine aside like he was a feather)

Oranos: Slay the filth!

(Captain O’Kelly, Sergeant Mills and their small army emerge from the shadows and open fire on the grunts, brutes and elites)

Sergeant Mills: Take this yah ugly bastards!! (Launches two Jackhammer missiles into a crowd of grunts killing all of them and severely injuring some brutes and elites) O’Kelly use Romeo and Juliet, NOW!!

Captain O’Kelly: (Opens fire with his dual SMG’s) AHHHHHHH! EAT LEAD YOU UGLY SONS OF BITCHES!! Fall back fall back deeper into the ruins!

(O’Kelly and his men fall back into the lower chambers of the Ruins, Oranos avoids pursuit and leaves with his Brutes and The Cord)

Opening Scene 6: The Elites and the Spartans have found a new base and are defending it with their lives. 6 of the 15 ODST’s have been shot, killed and dragged out of the way of Covenant Grunt soldiers. Jason has been shot multiple times but ignores the pain in his right shoulder, left leg and his stomach.

Owen: Damn it! I’m out!

Angela: Here! (tosses 4 clips of MA5B shredder rounds) Use them wisely!

Owen: Heh you know me (plasma sniper round zooms past Owen’s faceplate) DAMN!

Elite Soldier 1: (Plasma grenade sticks him on the arm and charges into the enemy ranks) AHHHH FOR THE FLEET MISTRESS!! (BOOM!!)

Al’redi: Rest my brother.(throws a plasma grenade into a crowd of Brutes it sticks a Brute captain)

Brute Captain: FOR THE JOURNEY! (The plasma grenade explodes before he can run towards Owen and his group, the blast kills all the brutes in the vicinity of the grenades zone)

Brute Officer: FALL BACK! We have n’more troops!

(Owen opens fire on the retreating Brutes)

Jason: That’s right RUN YOU MOTHERS! Spartans get their business done! Good shootin Al’redi.

Al’redi: It was my honor to serve alongside you, my friend. (Elite solute) [an Elite solute is where the elite slaps his fist against his chest and then nods his head]

Jason: Yeah that was beautiful baby. Kinda like when I was on Jericho IV and I was put up against an elite….heh took me awhile but I killed him.

Al’redi: Hm I do not approve of the slaying of my brothers. But if he attacked you then it was self defense.

Owen: Alright! Lets move we have to find O’Kelly. Sergeant Oberman, your in charge while I’m gone….Al’redi I want some of your Elites to stay with my ODST’s understood?

Al’redi: (Elite solute) As is your will Grey one. Beowulf! You are to stay with the Humans.

Beowulf: Yes commander.

(Owen, the Spartans and the Elites move out towards the Naval shipyard that O’Kelly was supposed to be at, when they arrive the find nothing but destroyed buildings rotting corpses [mostly UNSC soldiers] and flames)

Angela: Jesus……what the hell happened here?

Arianna: Looks like the covenant played a game of slaughter the humans.

Owen: Split up search for survivors!

Spartans: RIGHT!

(Owen and the group search for survivors but after 2 hours of searching they find none, what they do find is a trail of bodies, smoke and flames leading away from SunRing City)

Arianna: Owen they retreated into the Golabi desert…..they wont last long out there without supplies.

Owen: They wont last at all with the Covenant on their tails. SPARTANS MOVE!!

(Owen, the Spartans and the Elites follow the trail of death as far as they can until they come across the Ruins that O’Kelly and his men retreated into)

Al’redi: By the gods a Holy Relic.

Arianna: I don’t believe those were there before the Covenant came to the planet.

Al’redi: This is a holy relic given to us by the Forunners. We must find your friends….but do not trust a hope. It has forsaken you all.

Owen: I’m getting these men back. Lets move!

(Owen and the group arrive at the Ruins and enter the main entrance and see what hell was wrought )

Jason: Dayum! Looks like out boys gave ‘em hell!

Owen: They gave ‘em more than that! Look at this shell casing.

Jason: Looks like O’Kelly brought out the big boys.

Angela: Hey guys! They went down this pathway!

Al’redi: I suggest we find your friends….before they are slaughtered.

(Owen and the group follow the pathway, until they find what they were searching for)

Owen: Good god! O’Kelly!! Captain O’Kelly!! Can you hear me?

Captain O’Kelly: (pops from behind a corner) Heh what took you so long?

Jason: You know how it rolls baby, we had a little incident back at the Fire Base Charlie.

Sergeant Mills: Fire Base Charlie? Where’s that at?

Owen: Downtown SunRing city. Its well protected from all sides.

Elite Captain: Commander! Brutes approach from the west!

Owen: O’Kelly how are your men?

O’Kelly: Their good, won’t last very long. We have 10 wounded and over a hundred dead.

Sergeant Mills: And…we’re almost out of ammo.

Owen: Lets get moving, before we’re out of ammo and we all die down here.

Jason: Mhm I heard that. LETS ROLL!

(Owen, the Spartans, the Elites, and O’Kelly and his mean all leave the ruins avoiding the brute army amassing in the West, they arrive at what used to be a UNSC Naval shipyard unscathed and from there they make their way to Fire Base Charlie)

End Scene 6

Opening Scene 7: In space the covenant ships are dwindling but so are the UNSC and Separatist ships. Only one Leviathan Super Carrier remains, the other is somewhere in Slipstream space slowly but surely heading towards Planet Reach the biggest UNSC Military planet in the galaxy. All but 10 of the UNSC destroyers have either left the Hellespont System or have been vaporized and have become nothing but dust in space. No Halcyon class Cruisers exist in this part of the galaxy, all have been destroyed, and the Covenant continue their assault against planet Troy.

Commander Delgrant: GOD DAMN IT! CORTEZ GET US INTO ORBIT!

2nd Lieutenant Cortez: AYE SIR!! (Tapes away rapidly on keyboard)

Commander Delgrant: What’s the status on the MAC guns?

Lieutenant Jacobson: Sir we have 4 MAC round left!

Commander Delgrant: And our Archer pod missiles?

Lieutenant Jacobson: Archer Pods A-G are gone and H-L are ready to fire on command!!

Private Kirvan: SIR! Covenant ships appear to be retreating!

Commander Delgrant: Like hell they are! Their getting ready to fire their Capital Cities main gun! Jacobson, get Stanforth on a SATCOM channel STAT!

Lieutenant Jacobson: Aye sir! (taps away on her keyboard) SATCOM is up sir.

Commander Delgrant: Admiral Get out of here! We don’t need anymore deaths up here especially another Admira!

Admiral Stanforth: Alright! (opens up a FLEETCOM link) Attention all remaining UNSC ships under my command! We are leaving planet Troy! All those remaining are under Commander Delgrant’s chain of command! This is Admiral Stanforth saying Good luck men, the Navy has lost some of its best. (FLEETCOM link is cut)

(Admiral Stanforth and his fleet leave the remaining UNSC army to the Covenants mercy as they slowly enter slip space and vanish, The Leviathan Super Carrier remained behind and is heading down towards the planet to help Delilah and her fight against Covenant ground transports, Banshees, and anti-Infantry vehicles)

Lieutenant Jacobson: Sir, What if the Covenant kill us all?

Commander Delgrant: then our deaths will be quick….and painless.

Lieutenant Jacobson: (Closes her eyes and silently cries) God help us all.

Jason: Yo hold it we’ll be right there (Explosion) DAYUM! Hey I gotta call you back!

Delilah: (White noise) May the grace of the gods go with you.

Elite Officer: Fleet Mistress! Brutes have entered through the south corridor!

Delilah: (Radios to all nearby Marines) Humans this is a fight to remember! Fight with honor and dignity! May the gods have pity on your souls! (The radio link goes dead as an explosion goes off no more than 10 feet away from her)
