Halo: A Troubled Galaxy
By: Ghost
Chapter 2
The Chief went to Alpha base on Tares and landed on the northern landing pad. The Chief was greeted by Commander Jones. Then the Chief went to the Planning Room to be told the situation on Tares. He was told that the Covenant was quickly overrunning the planet and they needed him to defend the base and then go in with their best marines and detonate their Cruiser that crashed before they can repair it. Also that they had stolen secret documents that said the Covenant were going to attack them in two hours.
They gave the Chief large cannon, a scorpion tank, a rocket launcher, and a shotgun. Then the marines were told to get in position incase the Covenant attacked early. So the Chief sat down in the "cockpit" of the cannon. It also made the chief feel safe inside the steel walls. Then after a while an alarm sounded, actually to the Chief's surprise they attacked at the same time just like the plans said. After a while the Chief could see their massive army of elites, hunters, jackals, grunts, banshees, phantoms, ghosts, and wraiths.
Once they got about ten miles away the hidden tanks on the canyon fired at the wraith tanks and the phantoms coming down the path. Then the chief fired as he saw explosions and heard screams echoing threw the valley. Then alpha base sent long sword fighters and pelicans to give support. He saw rocket soldiers fired at whatever they could on the ground as some of them caused devastating rockslides.
Then the Chief got an order to move behind their army and support their backup tank army that was hidden behind the Covenant army. So the Chief went on a Pelican throwing grenades that landed right on target at the elites. Then he landed near the tanks and jumped in one of them. The army of about 25 tanks rushed behind the covenant army while firing as quickly as possible. Even with their great tricks to stop the enemy the Covenant was still pushing through the marines' defense with about four fifths of the Covenant army still alive.
The Chief rushed ahead full speed in his Scorpion Tank. The tank next to the Chief fired at the remaining wraith tanks. Then the Chief fired into the hull of the Wraith tank and ran over a few elites as he fired his 30mm chaingun. Then a Wraith tank fired at the Chief and the Spartan quickly jumped out. The Chief then ran outside and shoved the barrel of his shotgun into an elite and saw its blood splatter upon his visor.
The MC opened the hatch above the Covenant Wraith tank and fired a shell into the skull of a golden elite warrior. Then the Chief was going to hop in when one of the rocket soldiers hit the Wraith and the Chief grabbed the dead elite's plasma sword and jumped away. Then the Spartan grabbed the sword and plunged it into the driver of the next Wraith driver and took command of it. The Chief told the marines not to fire on him and plastered the nearby tanks.
While the friendly tank squadrons pushed ahead helping the Chief make his way threw by wasting everything in sight. Then a skyhawk fighter wing into the battle by firing salvo rockets into the Covenant's massive army. Then only two-fifths on the armada remained after the blast. Then the Spartan rushed forward and ran over a few stupid jackals. The MC then rushed forward shoot his powerful plasma blasts on the enemy.
Then a long sword fighter was shot down about 300 feet away from the Chief and crashed into a rock-made dam above the canyon. Then an alarm sounded from a nearby pelican that told everyone to evacuate the canyon because they were going to seal the entrances to drown the Covenant. "One minute until closure," was yelled from a loudspeaker. Then two special ops Marines pulled up next to the Chief and had him hop in the gunner seat of the Rocket Warthog.
The MC fired rapidly at the running troops and wasted one elite and saw him explode before his eyes into a slimy mess. "45 seconds until closure, was yelled again as the Chief fired at anything coming his way. After 10 more seconds the Chief noticed they were going to slow so he quickly switched seats with the marine in less than two seconds. The Spartan made the warthog go as fast as it could allow him to go. Then he tried swerving in an out of tanks and rubble as he heard, "20 seconds until closure."
The Chief looked behind him and saw the water rush over the cliff and started to "chase" him. The MC took a jump over a downed tank and went over a major roadblock. Then they heard, "5 seconds until closure," while the water had almost swept them away. The Chief saw the large steel walls start to be dropped. Then he made another jump over a huge pile of tanks and destroyed vehicles. The jump gave them enough speed to make it past the wall just in time.
The huge walls fell into place as they heard Covenant forces die and sadly heard some marines drowning on the other side of the wall. Then some pelicans came and pickup up any of the remanding survivors and took them back to Alpha Base. Once the Chief got to Alpha Base and once he got there he got a Medal of Honor to him and the marines that survived. Then they all gave a moment of silence to all of the soldiers who died protecting their base.
Then they reminded the Chief that in a few hours he had to go and finish off their Cruiser. Then two hours later when it got dark the Chief and five other marine commandos went with the Chief on a Pelican. The names of the commandos were Jackson, Lowell, Smith, O'Brian, Samson, and Maven. They landed two miles away from the Cruiser and began their approach on camouflaged warthogs.
When they got to the gravity lift they saw a few hunters and were quickly massacred and ran over. Then they moved into the gravity lift and were pulled upwards into Covenant Cruiser. Once they got inside they followed a path to the right and a few grunts tried to kill the Chief but were mowed down by the marines. In the next room was a docking bay and that was their secondary escape. Then they ran inside and spread out as the Chief smashed the butt of his assault rifle through the elite's skull. The MC ran inside and slammed down a door under lock down and ran through killing the hunters that were hidden behind it.
The Spartan ran through the doorway and punctured a camouflaged elite with his shotgun through his torso. Then the Chief ran forward into a strange room where he saw a prophet the Chief fired a full clip of shotgun shells into the beast while his team rushed inside. Then the Chief planted three bombs with two-minute timers. The Spartan and his marines rushed back to the hangar and stole a drop ship and evacuated back to alpha base.
Back at base the Chief was told he needed to go to Confer IV and find out what happened to them. There has been no contact for over 48 hours. The MC hurried onto his Long Sword fighter and headed for Confer IV. Once he got nearby a orbital cannon hit his fighter and he started a deadly plunge toward the surface...
