Halo: Return to Blood Gulch
Chapter 1
It's never good when a normally scorching area suddenly turns frigid. It especially doesn't help if you're traveling 5 miles uphill in the middle of a war.
That's just what the Master Chief was thinking as he trudged up the hill. "Those fools!" declared Cortana, "Why are they fighting each other when the Covenant persist on wiping out mankind?" "They're paranoid," replied the Master Chief "They've probably just seen too many Red vs. Blue Episodes." "I thought you liked Red vs. Blue?" "What, Red vs. Blue? Where!?!" "Idiot."
"Whoa!" Said the Master Chief as he pointed to the Warthog, "Sweet Ride!!" Master Chief hopped in the vehicle. Suddenly, a Blue SPARTAN came up to the Chief. He pointed his gun at Chief's head. "Freeze! Get your sorry ass out of our vehicle, red bastard!" "Are you talking to me?" Said Cortana. "Oh... uhh.... Chief... It's erm... you! Oops, he, he! No offense, right?" "None taken." "Yeah, sorry. Those Reds stumbled onto a storage of spray paint! There's no telling what they may look like next we meet 'em. Again, sorry!" "Any recent Covenant attacks lately?" "No." "Flood?" "Nope." "Damn..." BLAM! Suddenly, the Master Chief was cut off by some bullets. The Blue soldier was lying on the ground, dead!
Chief looked up, only to find a Banshee shooting down on him! "Damn!" Screamed the Master Chief as he jumped out of the way, barely dodging the Banshee's blasts! He hopped in the Warthog. "Shit!" The Banshee was firing down rapidly on the vehicle! "Shields at 90 %! 80%!" "Come on!!!!!!" Master Chief made a hard turn! Rattattatt! "Sir, the gun is out! Shields at 20%!" "Come on!" The Master Chief stood up! "10%!" He knelt down! "5%! 4%! 3%! 2%! 1%!" Chief jumped! BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The Warthog exploded! Pause it! Before you start calling me a n00b and going all "Warthog's don't have shields, idiot!" I just want to say that the Banshee was shooting THE MASTER CHIEF, NOT THE WARTHOG! The Warthog blew up because when Master Chief jumped the bullets hit the Warthog. Continue reading!
Master Chief pulled out a plasma grenade. He studied the distance between him and the Banshee! "In case you haven't noticed, we're pretty short on time, Chief!" "Believe me, Cortana, I know!" The Banshee started firing! He threw the grenade! It stuck to the Banshee! Master Chief rolled out of the way of the bullets as the Banshee exploded! "Thank god!" Exclaimed the Master Chief. Scuttle! "What was that?" "Probably the wind, Chief. ............. Wait I'm scanning life signs!" "The Flood!" Something jumped! Bullets flew! Blood was strewn on the ground! "Take that you bag of shit!" "Bio-signs indicate a large mass of Flood heading this way!" Master Chief cocked his gun, loaded some mags into it and prepared to fire! He saw a dim outline of a Flood and starting firing. It exploded in a bloody mess! Ten more came running at him as he fired repeatedly. The shots hit 8 of them, but missed the last two. They jumped at him! He shot one and it fell on the ground bleeding profusely. Just as the final one was about to land on his helmet he shot up, killing the final Flood! "Man," exclaimed Cortana "That was hell!" "I have feeling it's about to get a lot worse!" Said the Master Chief.
Zoom! A Banshee flew over head. "Despite what that Blue said, I think there are a lot of Covenant around here." "You may be right, Chief." Crunch! "What was that?" Master Chief whirled around! There were two Elites holding swords. Chief started shooting! One of the Elites fell down, dead! The other Elite rushed at him with his sword knocking him down! Master Chief kicked him in the face sending him back, getting just enough time to get up! He started firing! It hit the Elite in the arm! He grabbed his arm, blood dripping from it! He slashed at the Master Chief, barely missing because the Master Chief jumped backwards! Just as the Elite was about to impale him, another Banshee landed. A Red SPARTAN got off the Banshee! "No, stop. I want him alive." "What's this about, you traitor?" "Cash. Lots of it, too." "What do you mean?" "Don't you get it? The Covenant are paying me to help them capture you." "But why do you want me alive?" "I'm just keeping you alive so I can copy your armor color." "So, you're going to impersonate me?" "That is correct." "The Blues were right. You are bastards!" "It's just business, 'Chief'. Now, take him away!" But little did any of them know, there was a small, blinking tracking device on the Red SPARTAN's armor.
