...The Master Chief looked at the plasma grenade. He had taken it from a Grunt's corpse just before the Covenant ships had left. Suddenly, alarms went off all over the base. Seconds later, the intercom crackled to life. "Attention! We are under attack by hostile forces! The west gate is already being overrun! All units, your orders are to repel the attackers." The intercom crackled dead, and the Master Chief sprang into action. He had to find some weapons, fast.
...Two marines entered the room just then, each toting a Battle Rifle and a couple fragmentation grenades. The closest one spoke. "Master Chief, sir! Come with us! We've got these things crawling all over the place!" The Chief nodded and followed the two out of the room into the corridor. It was bathed in red light, and the sounds of battle could be heard faintly. They passed a couple of marines supporting each other, hobbling away from the combat that the Master Chief and his escort were heading into. A short run later, they came across several Marines standing in the hallway, checking 'Rifle magazines and slapping on combat gear. The Armory. The Chief stepped inside the Armory, the Marines giving him a small berth. Everyone had heard of the Spartans' successes in the Outer Colonies, and specifically about the Chief's brutal fight on Halo 04. John didn't mind, he had survived, and he had done his duty. That was all that mattered. He picked up a Battle Rifle, a Magnum, and several grenades. He stacked up on ammunition on both of these weapons and started for the door.
