Return to Jevan: Part one, Lets Move Out
When the covenant first discovered the human colonies in 2520 the humans were scared, they thought these hostile aliens would find earth and all would be lost.
Panic gripped many cities around earth and its colonies and people started to leave the planets that were anywhere near the first planet that was destroyed, those who stayed were destroyed as the covenant marched across the galaxy.
There was a planet called Savier that was the furthest colony from earth and double that distance away from the last known place the covenant had attacked.
For many people who were fleeing the covenant this was the perfect place to live and for the military to recruit soldiers, and take children for future Spartans.
The Spartans on Savier had never seen real combat only years of training. The war against the covenant had been going for 11 years and the humans had done next to nothing to the aliens.
The main training camp for spartans was in Jevan, the capital of the planet, but a few of the super soldiers were on their way to a secret base far from the city the day the covenant arrived.
The covenant had spotted a human cruiser, travelling from a colony the covenant were just about to destroy, so they sent two small ships with cloaking devices to follow the cruiser from a distance and report back.
They travelled for weeks following the ship, filled with people waiting to live in this 'safe' new colony, and eventually entered a solar system far from anywhere the covenant had ever been. The Human cruiser entered Savier's atmosphere and the pilot elites sent word back to the ship of the planet and the co-ordinates.
The covenant arrived in a week and bombed all the cities they could find, including Jevan.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed and almost all the spartans on the planet.
When the 4 spartans that had left Jevan had almost reached the base they met with a whole company of marines that told the spartans of the attack and that they had been out on a training camp in the jungle when the secret base had been destroyed and that the marines think they are the only military force on this side of the colony
July 12, 2531, 0100hours, Planet: SAVIER.
Chad stared at him self in the mirror his pupils were swollen from the lack of light, Power had been dimmed since the first banshee had flown over.
Chad was a Spartan the only chief ranked spartan in the company, which put him in control.
The small camp gave off a dull glow from the outside, a glow any Covenant scout would see if they even came close to the area.
"Time to move out sir" came a voice from just out side the tent door.
"Yes i know private," Replied the Spartan
He flicked down his visor and walked out into the darkness, he could feel the frost under his boots but he wasn't cool in his suit.
Looking around he could see the crew of his team stand around the troop carrier waiting for orders to move out.
The Company had split into 3 groups and each group had a spartan, Chad's group had two.
He did not want to give the order and send this fine group of soldiers and not to mention himself into a mission they almost certainly will not return from.
"Sir" Said the driver The Spartan just stood there staring at his troops. "Chief" the Private called again. Chad immediately swung his head around to look at the nervous looking driver.
"What is it soldier" the Spartan said sternly
"Um its time to go Sir" uttered private Angus from the drivers seat
"Alright" The Spartan spoke loudly to his crew "Lets move it out"
Cheers and sounds of excitement filled the camp as the marines piled into the back of the huge green truck. It had room for 12 in the back and two in the front and it was completely full. Guns were hanging out the holes in the sides of the truck; marines were ready to shoot before they even left the camp.
Angus started the truck and drove it off toward their destination.
As the Spartan looked back from the passenger seat he could see the rest of the team following behind, two Warthogs (one with a grenade launcher on the turret and another with a chain gun) and two all terrain four wheel motorbikes.
With the 12 in the back of the truck, 2 in the front of the truck, 2 riding the ATV's and 2 in each warthog they had a team of 20
Their destination: Jevan
The journey to Jevan lasted a few hours, the Spartan sat still and quiet for the entire trip until, "Stop here" he told the driver from the passenger seat.
The truck was still 2 and a half kilometres from the city, it was about 3 in the morning and the glow from the burned out city hovering in the clouds was the only light in the sky.
Most of the Buildings had been bombed and had collapsed but a few still stood Burning high above the ground.
"The covenant will have radars and scouts all over the city, if we go any closer in their radar will spot us for sure" Chad told his men while signalling the rest of the party to stop.
"Ok everyone out" He beckoned to his men. "Now I'm going to take one of these ATV's and I want chipper to take the other"
Chipper was the other Spartan that had come with Chad's group.
"Sir" Chipper said while nodding to the chief
"And I want you Angus to drive that warthog with the grenades on the back." He ordered the young private
"Y- y- Yes sir" Stuttered Angus.
"And you two I want on that warthog too." Chad said this much to the two soldiers surprise.
He had just picked a skinny dark haired Australian sniper named Maxwell to sit in shotgun of the warthog and a huge African American named Fisk to take the gun on the back
They quickly glanced at each other and said "Us Sir?"
"Yes you" Said the Chief "now get a move on"
They all ran to there assigned position
"Ok" Chad said to the other 15 men "Lieutenant" Lieutenant Foster stepped forward. I want you to take the rest of these men to that canyon over there" The Chief pointed to a canyon about 6 or 7 hundred metres away. "And when you get there set up a look out post hide the truck at the bottom and have men stationed on every side, Wait for me there until I give you more instructions and if you see any thing coming up from behind us don't hesitate to call."
"Sir Yes Sir" Replied the Lieutenant
As Foster turned to get back in the truck Chad Said "And Lieutenant"
"yes Sir" "Don't be seen" Replied the Spartan
Foster grinned back at the Chief and turned to his team in the other warthog and the rest standing near the truck and called "Lets move out"
Once the Lieutenant had left Chad turned to the four who were left and said "Well lets go back to Jevan!"
