Once they finished going down the rope they too were shocked at the number of Spartans. I walked towards a command terminal and a message blinked on screen and typed in messages:
Unfreeze Spartan III's?

correct. Welcome Spartan II
"Show-off..." Peter just laughed. A gigantic hissing sound filled the room as the tubes opened. All the Spartan III's got out and saluted Peter. Peter saluted back and walked to a door behind the tubes. In it was a weird looking ship. "Its Forerunner technology. It has the strength of a covenant battle group and the speed of a longsword. No technology, Covenant or UNSC could stop it."
I was shocked and extremely surprised. "Why would you need to be better then the UNSC?" Peter shook his head threw gas in my face. Everything became dark...
"Sir? SIR! Wake up!" it sounded like Rusk, but he was underwater.
"Damn it Sir! GET UP" I felt myself get soaked.
"Whoa?"
"Sir the Spartans left."
"Ugh, my head... anyways what about everyone else?"
"Well Sir, I believe they were all knocked out too."
"Fine then Rusk lets go." He helped me up and we started searching for the others. We came to the 'camp' the Spartans made and saw Sweet Jenny on the ground with Mark and two other people out cold on the ground nearby. We woke them up and attached the warthog to the pelican and took off. I couldn't talk to anyone, my headache was killing me. Also the others were ranting and raving about the backstabbing Spartans. "QUIET!" I roared, "We need to get the others. Once that's done we can get to work on a new plan."
When we found everyone we went back to that underground hangar. On the terminal I tried to access there was a message from Peter. "Ish, sorry about the knock out gas, but we couldn't risk you trying to stop us. You see, the Spartans put here were left for a reason. Dr. Hasley figured out the truth about the UNSC. The covenant was created by the UNSC so they could keep power by fear. Something went wrong though, the first two leaders called themselves prophets and declared war on the human race. They freed other covenant and eventually none of them were under UNSC control. As soon as Dr. Hasley figured this out she was executed. The UNSC is corrupt so we must destroy it and all those who follow it. Since your groups are defectors we just knocked you out. In the hanger there is a modified pelican. It is larger and can hold up to 30 people plus weapons and supplies. We assume you will modify it to your needs. The best of luck, Peter and the Spartans."
"Sir, you think that's true?" I sighed, "Not sure Rusk. It does make sense though. Either way lets get to work on that pelican." We brought everything of ours down the elevator shaft including our old pelican. We set up guards and started working.
A month later we were done. Our new pelican was almost a perfect copy of sweet jenny except it was larger. On the bottom we were now able to carry three vehicles and hold 2 shrikes on top. During the time we made modifications we watched the Human News Network. A reporter came on the camera, "We have live news. The UNSC is launching a strike against Ishkabibbl and his rebels on the planet Reck. We're going to the field correspondent..."
"MARINES lets move out! Incoming UNSC strike team." We gathered and took off in our pelican. After flying past the drop ships we went into slipstream.
Jenny came over the comm., "Sir, We're being hailed by the Fraud Slayer. Should I reply?" It was obvious to me that was the stolen Spartan cruiser. "Jenny patch it to the terminal back here." The picture of a fully armored Spartan comes up on the screen. "Hello Ishkabibbl. It's good to see you alive and well. I was wondering if you would want to join up with us in our crusade against the corrupt UNSC and their toys the covenant."
"Why would we want to do that?"
"Well if you don't there won't be a single person who will help you, but if you do join up with us there will be very little that can hurt you on the ground."
"I need to think about it."
The Spartan mutters darkly, "Think quickly UNSC fleet inbound."
"C'mon sir! Let's do it and leave before the UNSC gets here." Mark was acting like a three year old jumping up and down. "Mark calm down or you will be knocked out. Ok group vote all who want to join say aye." Vick, Mark, Max, Rusk, and Jenny said aye. Hec didn't trust the Spartans. "Well Hec you can come with us or take your shrike and leave, no hard feelings. So what do you pick?" Hec looked around, "I'm with you sir." I nodded and smiled, "Ok Jenny ask the Spartans where to dock."
I stood on the bridge with Rusk and Hec. It was complete chaos. "Sir, Incoming longswords about 50 of them!"
"Sir, 15 Frigates coming from starboard!"
"Sir, One capitol ship is firing HAVOC and the carriers keep pumping out longswords!" Various reports kept ringing out as the space battle continued. I watched through the main view screen as three frigates were annihilated by our plasma torpedos. The ship jigged left and the HAVOC flew harmlessly by. A spray of PDPC's, flew out of the point ship. Thousands of plasma shards flew everywhere into the mass of long swords destroying them or disabling the pilots. All that was left was the capitol ship and two carriers. "Fire six MAC's at the two carriers and eight towards the other ship." The Forerunner ship shuddered as 20 MAC's fired. "All ships destroyed. Make a random jump." Peter signaled for us to leave the bridge. We followed him to a briefing room. "Glad that you chose to join us. That's the third fleet the UNSC has sent to die." He shook his head, "We still haven't decided where to strike next. Do you have any ideas?"
"Well aren't there more Spartans? Why not go get them to join up?" Rusk looked confused when he was talking. "Hmm we didn't really think there would be more Spartans, but if there are..." Peter got up and went back to the bridge while we returned to the docking bay.
