I must've lost it in the teleport (My Watch's Time) ;)
Inside Halo: Combat Evolved,
Teleport, en route to Sidewinder



My sight faded for a moment. Then, a frizzy sensation surged through me. The light faded, and we arrived.
I was the very first to get there. I was in the direct center of the level. I turned my head this way and that, watching my comrades materialize.
Suddenly, a guy in Red MJOLNIR Armor walked up. "Ah ha! I caught the Blue Enemies!" As he watched more of us emerge, he began to realize we couldn't all be playing Multiplayer.
Then, the surviving Marines came through, and he said, "Th- Th- That's impossible! Marines can't be here! Not even with Halo Hacking! Who are you? What are you?"
A Grunt had followed us, and managed to get a radio message out to 343 Guilty Spark before we found him.
So, I explained our situation. Apparently, we caught them in the last stages of a 16-Player System Link CTF Game.
Both Teams agreed to help us. Me and Wu(Basically the Commanders) decided on Blue Base to build our Fortifications.
First, I had all the Teleporters blocked with boulders; A must if the defenses were to hold.
Wu took a bunch of guys and started in on something important(Taking lots of building equipment and other stuff) , while BOLL summoned up some vehicles for our holding action.
Me, Elfster, and Alpha took a Warthog, and using Rockets, Grenades, and overshield, got it(and us) out of the level.
We were to scout out the enemy, see what he had for us. So, we drove for a while, till coming to the Level Halo area.
"Wow," Said Me, "I didn't know all the levels were connected. Cool." I stopped talking, as the ground rumbled.
In the distance, I could make out a HUGE army of Covenant, Marching for our camp. The little bastard! He told where we was!
I estimated 10,000 Troops at least.
More and more came over the hills. Finally, we drove full speed back to base, which was marked by a NAV point on me HUD. It took us 3 days to get there, 3 to get back.
We drove up to the edge of the map, and I slammed the brakes. Wu had been working on something that just might save us: A castle thing, just like Helm's Deep from LOTR, covered the Blue Base and the surrounding area.
Wu had used explosives to expand the map, he had to for the castle.
There were several layers outside the castle, they almost reached the center. Apparently, Several Shades comprised each layer till the Castle.
People already manned the stationary weapons.
We approached, and I could see Warthogs mounted on 'The Deeping Wall,' LAAG Guns at the ready.
A Marine sentry had the gate opened, and we stopped the vehicle.
I disembarked.


The doors to the main hall flew open, and I entered.
Wu, Alpha, and Elfster were there.
"What news?" Asked Lewis.
"An army is headed for us," I said, and sat down at a chair.
"How many?" He questioned.
"Ten thousand, at least." I replied.
Everyone was taken aback be the news. "And we have but 50 men," Said Louis. "God help us."
"And there's more. They shall be here by nightfall." I Said.
Just then, a horn sounded. "That ain't no Covies," I said, and we all hurried to the outside.
650 Hooded and cloaked(Clothes Cloaked, not Cloaking Device) figures marched to the Deeping Wall's gate, in three perfectly straight files. They had an assortment of weapons.
I went down to the gate, and had it opened. The newcomers filed in.
I noticed Frensa had been gone a while, on a mission somewhere else.
Frensa broke from the ranks, and went up to me. The Army also stopped, and stood stiffly at attention.
"I have collected others on HBO-mostly Forumgoers- that are stuck here as well. They will follow your command," Said Him.
At first, I thought he was talking to Lewis. Then, it became pretty evident I was to command.
"Why me?" I asked, bamboozled.
"Dunno. But most 'a em like you stories on HBO, that could account for somthin." He smiled.
"Ok, Wu, you in charge of the Keep Defenses, Elfster, you got the Deeping Wall, Alpha Lance, you have the outer defenses."
I turned to address the people, who now were Un-hooding. "300, man the Deeping Wall. 300 more, you man the keep wall. The rest, move to the outer defenses."
The people went about their tasks.
Frogblast(He was just a hunter in the game, which he was playing) was working on a way to get a portal open for us all.
Before long, nightfall came.
The earth rumbled, and above the middle of the Level(at the place where we went out to scout), the army marched towards us.
I took my place at the Deeping Wall, and looked up at the Twin Scorpions(Each with a Rocket Launcher Passenger) on top of the keep.
Then, I looked at the approaching Covenant. "So it begins," I muttered.
