Spartans: The War on Solstice Part 1
Date: 20 January 2003, 1:42 am
The sirens in the background blared. Red lights flashed around the once black hallways. Crewman panicked and screamed. "Master Chief! Report to the bridge. On the double!" He equipped his MA5B assault rifle, and double timed it to the bridge. When he arrived, he saw a weary eyed man. At least in his 50's, but he had a stern look to him.
Captain Mendel was inscribed on his uniform. Master Chief snapped a quick salute. "At ease. Master Chief, one of our inner planets, Solstice, has fallen under Covenant invasion. The planet has been under attack for several hours now and there is no sign of relent from the Covenant. There are several databases at risk that need to be destroyed."
"What information do they contain?" The captain looked at him uneasily. "The contain our weapon diagnostics of the orbital MAC guns surrounding reach. Master Chief, you and your Spartans are our last hope of recovering those databases. We need you. "
"Sir, yes sir!" "Master Chief, your squad will be inserted roughly 10 miles outside of the city Holdensburg. We estimate that there are 300 civilians still left in that city. Evacuate as many as possible, destroy the databases, and get back here with your ass still intact."
"Sir, yes sir!" Master Chief snapped a quick salute, and walked back to the cyro bay 4. Six Spartans rested in the cyro chambers waiting to be awaken. He looked up at the 2 crewman in the room above him and order an immediate thaw-out. All six Spartans came out of the tubes and lined up in a perfect row. Everyone saluted him.
"At ease soldiers. The planet Solstice has fallen under Covenant invasion and it is our priority to see that 2 databases in the city of Holdensbrug are destroyed. There is also another part to our mission, and this is where it gets tricky. There are 300 civilians left in that city, and before we leave that planet, they must be evacuated. Do you understand?"
"Sir, yes sir!" "Good. We will split into two groups. Blue and red. I will lead blue team and Mike will lead the red team. Am I clear?"
"Sir, yes sir!" "I want each of you to equip at least 4 frag grenades, a MA5B assault rifle, and another weapon of your choice."
In his group he had Jacob and Louis. Jacob was known for his amazing accuracy with the rocket launcher. Louis was amazing with the sniper rifle. "Jacob, you are Blue2 and Louis, you are Blue3" In Mike's group there was Jason, Becky, and Sara. Mike equipped 4 more grenades instead of an additional gun, Becky chose the sniper rifle and so did Sara. "Mike, you will be Red1, Becky Red2, and Sara Red3. We will leave for insertion in 30 minutes."
"Sir, yes sir!" John thought to himself what would happened if he didn't destroy those two databases. The Covenant would learn of the orbital MAC guns and could have an easier time taking them out. If Reach fell, Dr. Hasley would die, and so would millions of people. The Covenant would locate earth and it would only be a matter of time before that fell as well.
John shook his head. He wouldn't let that happen, he was trained for combat. It was impossible for him and his Spartans to lose. They always won on the ground. Always. Him and his Spartans gave the UNSC the morale and the will to fight. He would not let them down.
In 10 minutes they would be deployed on to Solstice. There was so much adrenaline pumping through his veins, they were throbbing. He double timed it down to dock 12. He met the other 6 Spartans there.
"Master Chief sir! All six Spartans accounted for and ready for departure!" "Thank you Mike."
"Spartans, are you ready!"
"Sir, yes sir!"
"Are we going to wipe that planet clean of those Covenant bastards!"
"Sir, yes sir!"
"ARE WE GOING TO SHOW THEM, THAT THE HUMAN RACE WILL NOT BE DENIED!"
"Sir, yes sir!"
"I can't hear you!"
"SIR, YES SIR!"
"Your damn right we are"
Over the intercom blared Captain Mendel's voice. " Master Chief, Echo-112 is ready. Proceed to that Pelican and get ready for one hell of a fight...good luck Master Chief.
John watched his Spartans board the Pelican as he took one more look at Captain Mendel's face. He boarded the Pelican and sat down. This could possibly be one of the most important battles for the UNSC...Master Chief was ready... Part 1 of "Spartans: The War on Solstice"
