Prologue
0935 HOURS, JULY 26, 2529 (MILITARY CALENDAR)
GROMBRITH 26 SYSTEM, ABORD THE UNSC Minnesota IN ORBIT OVER THE PLANET RADITH
“Thirty seconds until launch” The comm. screeched.
None of the training we went through could have ever prepared me for this moment. For all I know I’m diggin’ my own grave, but there is no going back now. In a few moments this pod is going to send me straight to the battlefield
“Twenty seconds until launch soldiers.”
Today is probably going to be my last day alive, but that’s exactly what I signed up for. I have no idea why this planet is so important to the covenant but I’m going to find out soon enough.
“Ten seconds!”
This is my chance to fight back. We are going to end this before any more planets are glassed. My family did not get any mercy, and I am not going to show them any either
“Three, two, one, FIRE!” and with that my pod launched me straight into hell.
Chapter 1: Landing
0937 HOURS, JULY 26, 2529 (MILITARY CALENDAR)
GROMBRITH 26 SYSTEM, APROXAMENTLY 250 YARDS FROM OBJECTIVE FOXTROT, RADITH
We hit the ground hard; our squad’s objective was to cause some chaos in the enemy lines, and we where going to do just that. My pod felt unstable from some odd reason, but as I kicked open the door I found out why. My pod had landed an elite, its purple blood and guts where splattered everywhere. Now that’s what you call and honorable death!
I grabbed my shotgun and took care of his little grunt buddies as the rest of my squad landed. Everybody was disgusted by the scene, well everybody except me.
“Get your gear boys, where heading to the objective” Connor, the squad leader said. “They are digging for god knows what, and it’s our job to find out.”
“Man, cant we get something easy, like scouting or something” George whined as he grabbed his battle rifle out of the pod
“Hey, you signed up for this” Jill responded as she grabbed she loaded her rocket launcher.
“Ya, whatever” George muttered
“HEY GUYS! Get you’re a.sses over here” our sniper, John yelled. We hurried up onto the hill that he was standing on. “Look at this” he told us. We looked through our binoculars and saw what he was talking about. A group of elites where preparing a group of elites.
“Man, if we don’t stop them now they are going to do some serious damage, we got to take them out” George told the sarge.
“No, we can’t let this compromise our objective, let them go” Connor said coldly
“But sarge!” I said objectively
“But nothing! It would be a wise idea to shut up before I make you shut up!”
I knew I could not let him do this, I could not let him just stand my as fellow soldiers where slaughtered. I may have nothing to lose but they do. Without warning a grabbed Jill’s rocket launcher and charged them.
“GET BACK HERE!!!” Connor screamed over the comm.
But I am not going to stop, not going to let others die for some stupid objective. With that my rocket headed straight at the enemy
