Halo - A fanfic. [PG-??] [Latest News - Transmission 2]

[Kaisu]

Not my best work up to date, and I know it lacks description. A fanfic of Halo.

 

[spoiler=Report by DARE]After the Covenant Civil War ended, mass creation of new SPARTAN units started. Every Marine was given ODST armour, and some ODST were also made into SPARTAN soldiers. Colonies were starting to be rebuilt, and from the colonies near Reach, reports of Grunts were made. This grew to Brutes, Ghosts, Hunters, Banshees, and several Phantoms were spotted. It was went a Covenant camp was found that the SPARTAN Army was sent into action. They quickly destroyed the camp, and bases were beginning to be made. The UNSC had declared that if there were any sightings of the Covenant, they must be reported immediately. Now it seems the colonies were only pit stops. The Covenant had been sighted more and more recently, and slowly they seem to be converging towards Earth. Due to the fact that it may become our last colony again, an army of a thousand SPARTAN units await.

 

The Elites have been spotted around the place, it seems that whenever a group of Covenant forces appear, the Elites make an appearance. They have not battled yet. We have already lost seventy nine troops, but our SPARTAN army’s numbers are hanging around fifty thousand soldiers. Damian Keyes is currently an ODST unit, but we may have to withdraw him. Leadership and courage as strong as his is rare, though SPARTANs have been made like that. Plans for new vehicles have been made. New Mombasa is now rebuilt, and we will hold our position there for as long as we can.

 

The SPARTAN Petty-Officer Master Chief John 117 is still missing. According to the Arbiter, he may be in the Reach area. As soon as the tables turn our way, we are sending a Starfleet to find him. We will send our best navy starships. The Cortana, Halo, The Brute, High Truth, United Keyes and Johnson 7 will be launched into the area. This is war, and drastic measures may need to be taken.

 

Stunners, a group sent out to salvage vehicles, armour, equipment and weapons have been deployed. Support, a medical and backline group, responsible for vehicles and shields are to be with every group. Demolition has become one of our most important squads. Armed with the heavy weapons, they will destroy camps, structures and even the odd megavehicle.

 

We have sent most civilization to New Mombasa. We can only hope that we survive. The rest is up to our men.

[spoiler=Transmission Log][spoiler=Transmission 1]Sparks and his crew fired their Plasma Pistols at the oncoming Phantom. It’s systems stopped and it began to fall. Sparks was the leader of a newly made squad, who were to retrieve as many enemy vehicles, weapons and the odd hostage. He was standard Mark IV armour, though his squad had Scout armour. Soon a large electric blue beam hit the Phantom’s hull, and it came crashing down.

 

“Weapons at the ready!” Sparks ordered and they all took out Assault Rifles and went down low, headed for where the beam originated. They had to travel though a dense forest, and they came across a group of grunts resting, and after killing them and taking their gear, they proceeded. Suddenly Spark’s radar went blank. He activated his own headlights and pulled out a needler from James, the SPARTAN in the squad with the unlucky job of carrying all of the equipment they found. He saw a glimpse of red and quickly fired his needler through the leaves that separated him and the thing. The needles rippled though the leaves and he heard a cry from the other side, and something fell to the ground.

 

As soon as Sparks stepped through the leaves, a Sub-Machine gun pelted him and a red dot appeared on his torso as a small puddle of blood formed beneath him. Assault Rifles were fired eventually someone fired a rocket and they all were blown back, but Sparks was in the main explosion, and he was thrown into a tree and one of his Spike Grenades detonated, showering him and some other SPARTAN with the spikes. At this moment, a Mongoose came rippling through the trees and a half-charged SPARTAN Laser swept through them, though he was unaware of the SPARTAN under the vehicle. The driver hopped out and inspected the body under the Mongoose. He pushed the Mongoose off the SPARTAN and he crouched down beside him.

 

“Hammer… Ouch, that’s a Splatter.” He said and he turned around to see weapons pointed at him from every direction. “Hey, I’m just a guy on patrol.” He said, standing up and raising his arms. “Well, I’ll get a Pelican to pick Hammer and Sparks over there up. We’ll take them to open ground, but I’ll need you guys to cover us. I’m just an ODST, I’m only got an SMG and Magnum.” He said and he got back onto the Mongoose, and the man with the SPARTAN Laser picked Sparks up and placed him on the back of the Mongoose, before muttering something and running off. The ODST threw a health pack at the SPARTANs, and drove away, leaving the men to question each other.

 

“Someone activated a Radio Jammer around here somewhere.” One of Hammer’s troops explained. Hammer was the leader of Demolition Squad 7, one of the twelve Demolition Squads. He was in his squad, one of his best.

 

“Strange… My rader’s not showing anything.” One of the stunners said.

 

“Mine’s haywire.” Hammer’s troop shrugged.

 

“Where did that blue beam come from? It crashed the Phantom.” The stunner asked.

 

“I dunno. I never saw anything. We just arrived here via the teleport network.” Another of Hammer’s men said. The stunner heard a rustling of leaves and raised his Assault Rifle.

 

“You hear that?” He whispered and Hammer’s squad members nodded at various times, and one of them took out a Sniper Rifle and used its Night Vision capability to scan the area. He saw a strange shape on it, and everything went white and he fell to the floor.

 

When one of the Demolitionists woke up, he had a Covenant Carbine pointed at his face.

 

“This one’s coming though!” A standard Assault Elite shouted and a white Elite came running to him. He had red details on his white armour, and he was a medic, though he held a Sentinel Beam and had two Energy Swords attached to his arms.

 

“There, there SPARTAN. You’re safe here.” The medic reassured butt the SPARTAN’s hand leaped towards where his SPARTAN Laser should be. It wasn’t there. His comrades were all on the ground by him, and the humming of a Generator could be heard. Some other SPARTANs woke up as well and they sat up with guns pointed in their faces.

 

They all had no weapons, as they had been taken by the Elites. James’s carrier, a large box with robotic arms that linked to SPARTAN armour, with a Machine Gun Turret attached to the front, was visible a few meters away, with the rest of their weapons. A Phantom flew overhead, so it was a miracle that they didn’t see the Elite camp. The Elites started murmuring to each other, and they handed the SPARTANs weapons, before entering Ghosts and even a Wraith. They all picked up equipment such as Deployable covers and Bubble Shields.

 

“If we do a Super Bounce, we should get there fast enough.” Dante, one of the Demolitionists, suggested. He picked up a Deployable Cover, jumped and threw it underneath him, and he landed inside the shield, and the shield pushed him away, though the layers of invisibility and bubble shields, and landed on atop the Phantom. He used his Magnum to headshot the Grunt operating one of the turrets before kicking his body out and letting it fall. He spun the Plasma Cannon and fired it at the Grunt on the other turret, before shooting the pilot of the Phantom. He had never driven an airborne vehicle before, and before he got used to the controls he was headed for land. The sound of gunfire filled the air as the Phantom hovered, and a few Covenant Forces fled and they were about to jump aboard the ship when it swerved and splattered them all.

 

“Happy landings.” Dante laughed through his radio as the stunners and demolitionists piled aboard. “Someone, operate the turrets, James, use your carrier. Collect stuff from this place and then we’ll head for the mainland. UNSC should have a carrier here.” Dante ordered. He continued to fly the Phantom as they headed towards their home ground.

[spoiler=Transmission 2]Kane dashed through the maze, firing two Sub-Machine Guns and they hit many of his targets, so he was devastated as when he was firing his guns at someone operating a turret, they made a clicking sound. He dropped his weapons and pulled out a shotgun but a SPARTAN Laser hit him dead on. He fell to the ground as someone sniped the turret operator and someone fired a rocket at the person with the SPARTAN Laser, then the one with the sniper. With his damaged visual systems, he could only see about a meter in front of him, but the person with the rocket ran over his body so he leapt up and hit him hard on the head. Blood spurted out as he fired a shotgun with the barrel touching his back, and he jumped up the stairs to fire another round at the SPARTAN Laser person, before shooting the sniper and taking his weapon as a replacement for the SMG. A bullet flew over his head and he took cover and switched to his sniper rifle, zooming in and jumping out of cover, firing at the person’s head, who dropped his weapons ODST helmet came off. Kane pressed a button on his visor and a door opened, which he exited through. A siren went off and he knew the drill. He jumped into a Hornet and took off, weapons at the ready.

 

Kane had three Hornets to his left and one to his right, and they all started circling around the Phantom. One of the Hornets dropped formation and it soon came back up, only with two ODST units riding on its wings. They activated their VISR systems and jumped onto the Phantom, weapons at the ready.

 

“We’ve got SPARTANs in here. Sparks’ and Hammer’s squads.” An ODST said through the radio and Dante drove through the formation and headed for an empty spot where a Pelican landed, and jumped out of his seat as soon as the landing pad connected to the vehicle, jumped onto a Pelican, then onto the ground. They walked into the base, weapons slung over shoulders. A Troop Transport Warthog came rolling by and they piled into that, arriving at the base commander’s office shortly after.

 

The base commander was a girl, previously a SPARTAN but saved by converting to an ODST unit. Her name was Veronica, with long blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and fair skin. She wore the Recon Armour, though her helmet and weapons were elsewhere.

 

“DARE.” Dante acknowledged.

 

“Veronica.” Buck said softly.

 

“Buck.” DARE sighed. “Always going for the glory spot aren’t you? SPARTAN now aye? Trust me, this pile of armour’s served better for me than that stuff.”

 

“How’s Romeo?”

 

“Dead. Jumped in front of an Elephant, there were a bunch of Grunts carrying a Bubble Shield and their weapons sticking out of it. He jumped in and fired a rocket, then got splattered by the Elephant.” Veronica sighed again, and Buck shook his head. Veronica clapped her hands. “Anyway, SPARTANs, good job. That Phantom’s gonna help. A lot. But we still gotta reinforce this colony. I want you guys in an Elephant, Dante, bring a Pelican with ya. This Elephant’s larger than the norm, it’s got two Warthogs and one Troop Transport, with a Carrier ‘hog, three Mongooses, and a Hornet in one of the three landing pads. There are other Elephants out there, and unless you’ve been given a destination or region to patrol, team up, but keep at least four squads in one region. Stunners, Demolitionists, and Support, and maybe a couple ODST. You should all fit into one Elephant. If you hijack a Scarab or something like that, you’re looking at a promotion. I’m going to get a medical squad to go with you, but wait for Sparks before you leave. Hammer will arrive with a Hornet filled with equipment. As soon as Sparks arrived, drive. You will patrol the entire colony, so give support to anyone, anywhere. Also, don’t go with other people unless they’re in a big battle or they’re found a campsite, base, infestation, and anything else of the sort. Go to your Elephant now, Sam will take you.” She waved her hand and indicated at the door, so the squads filed out.

 

Soon they arrived at the Elephant, with a Support Team, including Sam, and three ODST including ‘The Rookie’, who was actually John, Damian Keyes and Gregory, Romeo’s cousin. They had reloaded their weapons and were now mix and matching, and Dante ended up with a shotgun and SPARTAN Laser, Buck with a Battle Rifle and Plasma Pistol, James with a Assault Rifle and Magnum. Kane had joined with the crew and had a Sniper Rifle and a Rocket Launcher.

 

“You know, we actually met Elites back there. That’s partly how we got the Phantom. Okay, Dante was the one who did the stuff. Super bounced from the camp straight onto the Phantom’s roof.” James said to anyone who would listen. He was relieved that he would no longer be the one carrying all the things the squad salvaged, as Sam was going to drive the Warthog, and James was going operate the turret on one of the Warthogs, and Kane on the Gauss Cannon due to his aiming skills. Screens around the vehicle flashed, showing Veronica’s stressed face.

 

“Guys, the Pelican Sparks was in was just shot down. We lost contacted with it, at the very least. Exit the compound, it’s going to go into lockdown soon.” She said. Many vehicles exited the base as a siren sounded, and James jumped onto one of the turrets as they rolled out of the area. The gates closed behind them.

 

The aerodrome closed as the lockdown finished, and the many vehicles outside were left to fight alone. Luckily enough, soon five Ghosts and a Banshee was headed straight for the base, weapons firing at the many squads. A group of Warthogs was destroyed as the Banshee opened fire on them. The other groups had a mission and they drove away from the assault, weapons firing. The Banshee saw a gap in the roof of the Aerodrome and flew towards it, and the Ghosts chased soldiers out in the open, splattering and shooting them down. As soon as the Banshee saw about to enter, a rocket hit it and it started spiraling towards the ground. Soon a Pelican emerged, a Hornet firing from it’s open door. The Hornet took flight and the door closed. The Ghosts fled as the Hornet killed the drivers. An Elephant that had stayed to fight picked it up.

 

“Dante, we’ll need to use on of your landing pads. Permission to land?” The ODST inside the Hornet asked.

 

“Permission granted. Hey, keep the big guy going, he can land without it stopping.” Dante replied. The Hornet soon landed, and their patrol began.

 

Hammer

 

“Command, this is Hammer! I’m shot, I repeat, shot! I’m going down…” Hammer shouted desperately into his radio. It just made static. “Base, I repeat, this is Hammer, I’m going down!” He shouted. Another Fuel Rod hit him.

 

“Hammer, don’t worry. Give us your co-ordinates and we’ll send a support group to pick you up. Stay put… Hammer? Hammer, do you copy? Hammer!” The radio suddenly blared.

 

“Command, I’m at-” His voice was lost as another Fuel Rod hit him, followed by a Plasma grenade thrown onto one of the wings. The vehicle was blown apart and debris flew in all directions, hitting the Grunts behind the assault as well. Hammer fell out of his Hornet and was one the ground, blood seeping out from under his armour. A Hunter came along and picked him up, inspecting him. As he did this, Hammer struck at his back and spun away, emptying a magazine shooting his back. Blood spurted out and he fell to the ground, dead.

 

Hammer roamed the area, soon finding a stash of weapons. He picked up a Gravity Hammer and a Fuel Rod Cannon. Deciding at his Hornet was doomed, he placed several Plasma Grenades inside and ran away. A blue explosion and debris flying everywhere confirmed that it was destroyed. At last he took shelter under a rock.

 

Soon, he was awakened by the roar of an engine and found some ODST inside Mongooses, chased by a Prowler. Hammer snuck up on them and used his Gravity Hammer. It sliced the vehicle in half and both halves went flying away. Hammer got onto the back of another Mongoose and they continued to drive, but they could hear explosions in the distance. It was until a Wraith fired and destroyed one of their Mongooses that they realized that there was a battle going on. They arrived at a cliff and peered over. There was an upturned Elephant and several Wraiths firing at each other. A SPARTAN squad was fighting against many Brutes, Grunts and the occasional Hunter. There were many Ghosts, Prowlers, Choppers and Banshees about, but the soldiers but up a good fight.

 

A Pelican managed to destroy one Wraith, but it soon came crashing down. One of the ODST fired a rocket at a cluster of Ghosts, then three Wraiths turned their fired onto them. Hammer saw that they were clustered, in a Y formation.

 

“Batter up!” Hammer shouted and he threw a Bubble Shield into the air before hitting it with his Gravity Hammer. It activated when it landed with the shield covering the three cannons of the Wraiths. They all fired but hit the shield. “It’s Hammer time!” Hammer shouted before jumped off the cliff. He swiped his weapon mid-air, and it sent a Chopper flying away. Hammer landed in a crouching position. “No pun intended.” He smiled to himself and jumped into the middle of the Y formation, swiping his hammer again. It flipped all three Wraiths. The ODST shot from the cliff as they couldn’t survive the fall, until two Hornets came and transported them onto the ground. A SPARTAN Laser blew up a line of vehicles, and James shouted in frustration as they went up in flames. They soon found that the Elephant had been flipped up again. It rumbled towards them, intent on splattering them all. A Sniper bullet went straight through the Brute driving it, and the vehicle rumbled to a stop. They all climbed aboard, waiting for another Elephant to pick some of the vehicles up. Hammer arriving caused an uproar.

 

“Hammer m’man!” Dante roared, slapping him on the back. Hammer stumbled into the truck. After all the welcomes and the many repeats of thank-you, they contacted Command and got an Elephant and Pelican to pick up the rest of the salvage. James stirred in his seat, his expression masked by his visor. But he didn’t seem pleased.
