The Covenant was split in two, and humanity was still rebuilding its shattered empire.
Of all the encounters and experiences in his life, the next fort-eight hours would prove the most important.

honestly I see you going anywhere you want in life. I hope you'll either become lead writer over at microsoft and you make the franchise great, or at least not screwed over, or lead writer at bungie, to create several different franchises. Thats what I wan't to be, a writer at bungie, or a coder, but writer would be best, because after you write the story, you just get to hang out with the fans and test, and Im shiska all day. XD

EDIT: Whatever makes you happy is great, but ^ is what would make me happy. lol. And thank god you still intend to finish this, I havnt checked in a while thinking you had given up, thank you! And you know what would make my little nerdling christmas? Post the chief and the doctors reunion on christmas eve/christmas. Or hanuakam, or quanza. or whatever cult your in. DAM PCness!

Part Two
wow u relly have the time to type all of that
Like its namesake the Dawn began to flare like a rising star. The leading edge of the frigate was not designed to re-enter the atmosphere of a planet backwards, let alone in half. Large sections of metal began to tear from the main structure and damaged Archer missile pods were exploding with the buffeting and overwhelming heat.
John pushed the engines of the Pelican to beyond their operational maximum in an effort to keep up with the remains of the Dawn. But the situation seemed to conspire against him.
The planets’ gravity and the already excessive momentum gripping the Dawn meant that he was gradually falling behind without the ability to talk to his trusted guide. Despite years together, fighting against the best the Covenant could offer there was little he could do except follow the broken frigate. This was where John hated being. In a situation that was not subject to his physical strength, endurance or speed. He was more at home on the ground where he could move faster and hit harder than anyone else in the UNSC and most probably the majority of his former enemy; the Covenant. In the air though he was like a fish out of water and all of his survival instincts were relying on the mechanical movements of a dented drop ship. He preferred solid ground, a good rifle and a team that he could no longer call upon.
John was immediately tempted to think back to a time when SPARTANS were the last best hope for the survival of Humanity, but gradually their numbers had dwindled to just a handful of skilled individuals. Even now he was unsure of whether any of them were still alive. Deep down though he hoped they were.

The Pelican jerked suddenly, bringing John back to reality. The frigate had now pushed itself into a 12 kilometre lead, and even with his faceplate fully polarized and at maximum magnification there was little detail that he could make out. Captain Keys had been able to land the Pillar of Autumn on the first Halo, but then he had an entire ship to utilise not a collection of damaged and broken deck plates with half a MAC gun.
Suddenly the Dawn began to move slowly to the left and then the whole ship rolled over to expose the more intact dorsal section to the ferocious heat. Cortana was still in control.
John followed as best as he could behind the Dawn for the next twenty minutes, and managed to make up some ground as the large twisted frigate performed a series of S-turns in order to slow its descent. Then John heard a sound he did not expect.
“Chief…is Cortana…antenna …non functional…am using…ships sensor array plating…you hear me?” said a distant and distorted Cortana
John could only make out parts of the transmission but it was enough to reassure him of Cortana’s status.
“Barely Cortana, I’m just behind you. I’ll follow you in.” replied John
Nothing further came from frigate except a wash of static.
John continued to follow the burning ship as far as he could and then slowly pulled back on the control column to bring the nose of the Pelican level with the horizon, and watched as the ship sliced a fiery scar into the grass covered surface of the planet beneath. Even before the battered UNSC frigate come to a stop John was already landing.

Once down John punched the ramp release switch so hard that the control surface crumpled under his strength, but the welfare of the Pelican was the least of his concerns. He raced from the ramp and towards the Dawn with a speed that even Kelly would have been proud of, but he was greeted with a searing wave of heat that blistered and bubbled the remaining layer of his already scarred colour scheme. Pale green paint fell from his armour in thin scorched flakes upon the ground as he pushed his suit of Mjolnir armour beyond its limit.
The main hangar bay that had provided John with the means to escape was now a shattered mess and even the remaining Pelicans, although already damaged, were now an unrecognisable sight. John carried on running to the far end of the ship where the engines were located and climbed in through one of the few intact deck hatches. John continued to race throughout the remaining sections of the ship until he reached the area where he had left Cortana.
“Cortana, Cortana can you hear me!” shouted John
He stood next to the cracked holo plate that had served as Cortana’s command cell and waited for her to appear as though afraid to remove her chip, either through concern of more damage or through the fading hope that she was still functioning.
“Cortana.” Whispered John
John began to reach for the chip housing below the holo-plinth when it suddenly illuminated to reveal the familiar image of his companion.
“What took you so long?” asked Cortana
“Funny, real funny next time lets do something harder.” joked John
John placed the chip back in its portable housing in his armour, where it belonged and then collected a few supplies before heading back to the Pelican. It was good to have her back in his head.
“Chief there’s something I need to tell you,” Cortana paused before continuing “You were in stasis for quite a while.”
“How long?” asked John
“Longer than you think.” Replied Cortana

Cheif is a Spartan 2 and the Spartans with Dr. Halsey are Spartan 3s


ummm....fail. Read the books (iduldge your nerdi-ness!). John and the spatans with halsey are both spartan 2's. The spartan 2's main job was to inspire the colonies and earth that we have a hope in this battle. They were loved and cherished by all, except for colnel somebody, who hated them because he weas jealous of dr.halsey. He went to the ONI Head three and petitioined t make NEW spartans, that nobody knew about, they could therefore be sent on suicidal missions without the public making a fuss. He did, he kidnapped Kurt, (a spartan two), to train them. Their were, i think three waves of them. They mostly destoryed conveneant ship building factories. , two of them, (i forgot names, one boy one girl) lived though so kurt took them back to help train the new waves. Than in a long chain of events, he met with halsey and the other spartans, and when they wen't through the portal into the place they are now, (an "ark") he staid back to detonate a nuke to stop the coveneant from following them. He lied and said hed be coming back, they objected, he showed them his shiny new rank, (the colenl promoted him to LT. commander i think) and they were forced to let him do it. (old habits die hard). Thats where this story picks up. (the previous events coincede ith the master chief's campaign in halo 3).

sorry for spelling mistakes, hack through it.

I'm going to submit this story to Bungie news. Everyone else do likewise, if it get enough, they might put it on the homepage. When this is finished max, get in touch with bungie, either by yourself or through a publisher. I would pay £5.99 for this anyday.

MAKE STORY NAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • 12.17.2008 6:09 PM PDT

I want to take the time to properly thank you for this story. At the top of page fifteen you clearly expressed some concern about whether this is falling on deaf ears; I assure you it is not. You have a dedicated fan base, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that this is indisputably one of the greatest fan fictions ever to make an appearance here on Bungie.net. Keep up the good work: we all appreciate it.
