Haha, thanks for the praise everybody. I'm still leaving the announcement of Chapter 7's release for late Sunday.

Right now I'm biding my time by playing Resident Evil 4 and preparing the Super Bowl party. Provided the game doesn't go into quadruple overtime, expect the chapter later in the evening.

Nice story. I like this one better than brilliant's one since it has more action and you have the nice part with the alliance between sarge and arbiter and the other elites. keep up the good work, you've had some great ideas.

Okay, I'm dumb. I checked in and saw the new Weekly What's Update. The site's going to be down Sunday after the SuperBowl, which means posting chapter 7 is going to be somewhere between impossible, and inconceivable. So because of that, look for it early Monday.

Also, I've gotten a few PM's asking for me to add their GamerTags.

In an act of true ignorance and stupidity, I allowed my brother to borrow my Xbox, and the second my back was turned he clubbed me in the back of the head with a lamp. When I awoke, he was gone, with my Xbox.

All moronicness (is that even a word?) aside, yes I did loan my Xbox out to my brother who, without my knowledge ran off to his friends place for the weekend.

Because of his devilish behaviour I can't do any adding of gamertags, but don't let that stop you from adding mine:

Tatewaki Kuno - All like that, and if you know where that names from, you are awesome.

Thanks everyone, if you send a friend request I will accept it.

This story rocks dude. Best fanfic ever IMO. Ive been following sirs thread but ur story is way better besides the lack of other spartans. Maybe if you were to just add in that they were on another mac station or cleaning floors in some remote corner of the galaxy then it would fit perfectly with the other books.

Man clarck your stuff is awsome. possibly better than sir Brilliants. I just dont get how he has such a big fan base and your dont.

Haha, sorry, I find that a little funny.

Honestly I don't mind that when compared to brilliants thread, this one looks like a 3rd world country. Mine's only been out for like what, 3 or 4 days?

Eventually people will come around I imagine, but in the meantime, the awesome people that do decide to read my stuff I'm incredibly honored because of that.

I've been writing fan fiction for a long time, a lot of times my stuff goes unnoticed, whereas sometimes I get cult following. This is my first time writing Halo stuff, and I've been a little surprised with the easy reception. Usually you have to break into a specified area, I know I've had to, but you guys have been amazingly supportive, and that's great. There's nothing that can make me more proud to be a writer than when people review my stuff and tell me how much they've liked it.

So for everybody that's reading along with me now, and all the future readers, thank you all very much.

Nice!! this is a really good read. there's a couple of issues with some of the characters dialects but the rest is brilliant. A couple of points about publicity:
that guy that suggested going to the publishers with this is completely wrong. that would be illegal, copyright theft, etc. not to mention it's almost certainly not what Bungie wants for the next chapter in the halo series. but for fan fic it's fine.
have you submitted this to the fan finction section on Halo.Bungie.org? or at least make a post in their forums. there are a lot of people over there that never come here.
best fan fiction i've ever read (not that i've read much fan fiction) . keep it up.

Peace.

I went ahead and posted the prologue on HBO, but I'm slightly concerned that since my chapters are often quite long, I will have to break them up, which might make for some unfortunate format problems, but I'll see, when I have some more free time I'll try and look at the issue more closely but until then, all they've got over there is my prologue.

Your story is as great as brilliant's, it is awsome. You shouldn't say that he is the last spartan because their are some left, I know you said you don't want them in the story, but you shouldn't say they don't exist any more.

Wow, this is really good stuff, by any standards. You have a few grammatical mistakes and a handful of awkward sounding sentances, but it's nothing serious. I know you must be sick to death of being compared to sir_brilliant, who seems to be the big man on campus right now, but I have to say this is much more engrossing, much more mature-sounding, more high minded, and has a much more feasible plot. I could definitely see the plot for H3 going down something like this. For the life of me, I can't see why you haven't garnered the same cult following he has. Oh well, maybe that's for the best, as you seem to be much more humble and more receptive than your (dare I say it?) rival. Don't get me wrong, I'm not flaing the guy, just my take on the fanfic "scene".

Anyways, here are a few thoughts:

1. While it's perfectly fine not to include the other Spartans, to say they all died is not only unnecasary, it goes against the canon. Rather, you should at least acknowledge they're alive.

2. I love how you threw in the an ILB character. Perhaps more will follow? You should really try to get out Jan's distinct personality.

3. Ok, somewhere down the line you have to have some kind of new weapon unveiled. I was thinking, since Cortana gained all that tech from the Covie cruiser in First Strike, how sweet would it be if some of it was implemented on human ships? Say, maybe, that scalpel-like plasma beam she created was already being tested by ONI, and makes a late appearence in the battle? Just a thought...

hmmm....That should be it for now. I know I had something else to say, but in my infinite wisdom I seem to have forgotten.

Oh, and GO PATS!

Now that i realize it, it would be good if you just leave the other spartans out. you should follow the game story line. So far you have been awsome. Keep it up Mr_Clark.

There is a month diffrence between the end of FS and the beggining of H2 so we dont know if there dead or not.

i cant decide which is better - this or brilliants stuff, seems to me there of slightly different styles; this tends to capture more of a grand/big picture scheme of events (bit like tolkien books) whereas brilliant goes more for how the characters themselves feel - but thats just my personal take on it, its all a matter of taste and opinion. i think im leaning more towards this, as i prefer the whole 'this is whats happening and its badass' as opposed to the 'this is how everyone feels about whats happening' which can at times get somewhat tedious, but as i say its a matter of personal preference - keep up the great work

Wow, that story is amazing. I've read Sir Brilliant's story and his is very good to, but yours is way better Mr. Clark. Keep up the good work, I'm looking foward to reading the rest of your story.

yeah, i do think that Clark story is wayy better. But there are always people who are disagreeing with me. O well,i guess they have the right for thier oppinions.

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

PM me the next part PLEASE! Awesome stuff, Clark! That rivals the books! I can't wait to find out what happens to Sarge and his crew!!!!!!
