Okay, heres the first two chapters of a currently 10 chapter story.
Peoples gamertags are used, never really came up with any other names for the characters.
This story is also very rough, a lot of gramatical errors, i just haven't edited it all together yet,
Chapters are very short!
Chapter 1: Boot
I stepped off the pelican onto the hard, grassy ground of Coagulation, i was told to line up with the other recruits, only 20 days ago, i had been informed that it was my duty to join Red Army. Let me tell you, i was scared, No solider wanted to go on active duty, especially on the front lines. But, I was ready for that challenge, i knew i was going to be recruited sooner or later, so i got my Augmentations ahead of time. It was a risky surgery, but i had to get it. Now equipped with my Molinjor armor, i felt like a new solider. The pain had stopped a few days ago, I was officially a recruit of Red Army. "Alright Soldiers listen UP! I am Micro Jupiter and i am the Master General of Red Army! I've been in these wars for a while now! SO DON'T GIVE ME ANY -blam!-! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?" " YES SIR!" we all said in unison. "Now IM NOT GOING TO HAVE THE TIME TO MEMORIZE ALL YOUR NAMES, SO WHAT IS YOUR ALIAS SON?" He said smacking me on my helmet. "Snack, Sir!" I said, scared out of my boots. He passed me without saying, "Good" and went on to the next person. He told us to all salute him, we did of course, we didn't want to be punished, expecially by this guy. "Up Next is a lap around the canyon, maybe 2 depending on how good you do!! MOVE MOVE!"
2 hours later, we finished the lap, i don't know if i could do another one, "Alright Recruits, BACK TO THE MIDDLE!!!!" We all lined up exactly how we were 2 hours ago, but this time we were panting and shivering. "Your done, you all are offically privates of Red Army! Give yourselves a hand men!!!" The ones that could, lift their hands and gave a little clap. "Now for 2 days of Bed Rest!!! Then...Advanced BOOTCAMP!" Oh son of a -blam!- I thought, if basic boot was this hard how the hell was i going to make it through Advanced........
Outpost Lockout: 1200 hours.
It was so cold, i was almost shivering...almost. For this boot camp, a new general stood infront of me. "Hello Privates, this is a lot more Informal then Basic, SO DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF THAT SIR -blam!-!!! Expecially during a battle, you'll get both of us killed." One unfourunate private said, "YES SIR!" The unknown 5 star General shot him dead in his tracks. "MEN, I DON'T take any -blam!-, is that understood?" No one said a thing. "GOOD, i like the way you men think. I am BlackDragonn, Black for short, and i am the 5 star General of Red Army, and i give out ranks, organize the attacks, and call the defense when we need it. Now, im going to let some of the other officers introduce themselves, show them resepct or you'll end up like your friend right there." We all looked down toward the man, Private Banker...KIA... The intros went on forever and ever it seemed like, Until BlackDragonn Barked over the Com. "BLUE is ATTACKING, I REPEAT! BLUE IS ATTACKING ASCENTION!!!!, Son of a -blam!-, there getting blind sided out there, ALL OF YOU ARE PROMOTED TO CORPORALS...and your getting shipped there ASAP!!!!!"
Chapter 2: Acent....
The Pelican ride there was a little bit bumby, but hey, the driver was told him to get their ASAP. "Alright Men, things are getting a little hectic, So be ready to fight as soon as you get their, BRs OUT, Popum and Lockum folks." Black had to part ways from us, somthing about sending a counter attack at the Blue Base on Sanctuary. *BOOOM* Something hit the side of the pelican and we went into free fall. The pilot was screaming something incoherently, we were to close to the ground to make a jump, just crash and pray for the best. The sound the crash made as the pelican scarped down onto the metal dish in the middle of the Red Acenstion Air Base was horrifying. I could feel blood running down my leg, thats not good. I turned to see 2 out of my 5 squad members were dead....the other 3 seeemed to have the little or no injuries. I looked up towards what seemed to be the red base, i shook of the feeling of the crash and yelled for my other teamates to shake a leg and get up there. As soon as one of them was making it up the ramp, BOOM, he took a sniper bullet to the back. "SUPRESSIVE FIRE!!!!!" Someone yelled from the top of the red base. I had heard that voice somewhere before....but where? As soon as the soliders held up in the base let loose the other Spartan and I made a run for it. I grabbed the fallen solider that was on the ramp and pulled to saftey. The son of a -blam!- was already dead, the had a crack sniper...damn them... "Hows that Solider!!!? Master General Micro said, walking down from the top of the base to check him. "Hes dead, Vitals are Flatlined!" i said. Micro took a step towards me and said, "Your Private Snack?" "No, Corporal Snack, Sir!" i said, regreting saying sir. "And who is this?" He said pointing to the other Spartan standing in a corner out of sniper fire. "Corporal Sights, Sir!" He was the only people who hadn't just gotten out of bootcamp, that managed to make it to the pelican. "Alright, Well, looks like you two are going to go take out that Sniper. It seems like the whole damn Blue Army is waiting right around that bend! Are you two ready for the challenge????" Micro said, looking towards the fallen solider. "Ill have the rest of us give you as much cover as we can from here....Good Luck."
That was the last time i would talk to Master General MicroJupiter.
Sights and I were half way sneaking down the ramp when we heard it, the crack of a sniper rifle. Thats when the fire stopped. Damnit, there was atleast 4 more Marines trapped inside the Red base, even if Micro was dead. "Ill go back for them." I kept telling myself. Sights turned the corner and ran into to Blue Members, "GET DOWN!!!" I yelled as sights jumped back for cover. I rolled a frag gernade in there direction and knew that the nade was successful, not only because of the explosion, but because of the blood splatter. Well, i suppose they know that were coming this way now....damnit. Right then, I realized that those were the first people I had ever killed. I couldn't let that thought sink in though. Kill or Be Killed. I peeked around the corner and saw 7 blue members trying to figure out what the hell just had happened. Sights and I turned the corner and popped 2 of them in the head a piece, the other 3 returned fire, i was struck in the gut...not good... and after a few seconds of panting, i realized i could taste copper. My vision started getting blurly, Sights had just finished off the 3 remaining Soliders, turned to me and started to say something....i couldn't hear him for some reason though...GET TOUGH MARINE, I told myself. I injected some Biofoam into my gut.....good enough, I thought standing up. "Sights do you see the sniper?" "Ya, hes in a small tower at the top of this ramp!" "Lets move on 3....1...2....3!" Both of the armor-clad warriors rushed up the ramp, taking the sniper by suprise. "Eat Lead!" Sights screamed as he unloaded a full clip of BR into the snipers chest. I walked up and stepped on the bastards throat, just to be sure...(wow what a "brute" i have become in these few minutes). I grabbed the Sniper and had a look over towards red base. Only 2 Spartans remained visible, but he could see for sure that his commanding officer, Master General Micro was down.
Sights and I rushed back over to the command base, when we arrived I checked Micro's vitals and found that he was still alive and kickin. "Sir, incoming Intel! 15 fully load Blue Pelicans on their way here! ETA 20 Minutes." Suddenly I had become Commanding Officer of this OP, Well....What to do. "One of you, Signal a dropship, a pelican, anything." We need to get off this station. Acension has been lost, that was for sure. I turned on my Red Comm Squad and tried to send a link to Black, to no avail, i switched to a Commanders only Frequences and asked for any and all Generals to answer. Finally a break, some static followed by a series of mumbles, then it cleared out. "Solider what is your current situation on Acenstion, This is Doctor Tsunami 1 Star General Over." Finally some help, "Sir, This is Corporal Snack, i have assumed command of this Battle after Micro had been Injured, his situation is critical, i repeat CRITICAL. We need immedate Evac. Acenstion is lost and they have 15 Blue Pelicans on there way." There was a long silence and then Doctor said, "Alright, i've sent a pelican to pick whatever is left of your squad up, we will debrief at 1600." "Roger That, Over and out."
(Updated 10/5/06)
I surveyed what was left of the team, myself, Sights, Dommer, and Monewb. All of us Corporals, not the best for leading, but its all we have. 2 of the 15 pelicans began to come into view, each equipped with 2 50. Cal. Machine Guns. When the Machine guns began to fire and pieces of the base began to fly off. I grabbed my Battle Rifle and returned fire, soon after i realized that i was beginning to become lightheaded, and could taste biofoam and copper seeping up my throat. So, i fell backwards and landed on my ass....hard... I heard something fly around the back of the base, it was our dropship, we were saved. "Quick, everyone were gonna have to have a little jump." I said looking how close the pelican could get....it wasn't very close. "Sights, tell the pilot to hold as long as he can, leave me if need be." i said, walking back into the base. I crouched down next to every solider i could see, all of them were flatlined except for one. Micro...., I grabbed the Spartan, threw him over my shoulder and ran for the Pelican, leaped and prayed for the best. We landed...barley. My stomach oozed some biofoam and blood, but other than that, i was okay. Thats about the time i passed out.
