I decided I am going to write a little short story on something I dreamed. It what I dreamed a battle In Halo 2 would be. Enjoy (please tell me any grammatical errors I might have done)
The Master Chief doubted his decision. He knew that the Covenant were after something on Earth. Otherwise they would have already glassed the planet. He had been given a direct order to help stem off the covenant at the siege New York. The covenant were hitting it hard, but why? There was no significant reason to it. When ordered to go there to help the defense the Chief had refused. There was something at this place, the Mombasa mine complex, that they wanted. The Chief had a feeling that the covenant were going to hit this place and hit it hard. The logic was that the day before there had been many scout covenant shot close to the place. Maybe they were surveying the field in order to develop the a battle plan. What really gave the Chief chills was that something had been found in those mines right before the Covenant attacked Earth. The people who discovered it also mysteriously disappeared.
“Chief! Do we follow brass’s orders or what?” Sergeant Johnson asked waking up the Chief from his deep thinking.
“We stay. The covenant are going to hit this place and they are going to hit hard,” the Chief responded.
“Get tactical marines!” Sergeant Johnson yelled.
Defending the mine was not going to be a very hard task. The marines had placed turrets all over it, and got ready for action. The defense was going to consist of the Master Chief, about 500 marines, 4 warthogs, and 2 scorpion tanks. Because of the lack of vehicles, the vehicles that were present would be used defensively not offensively. The marines thought they had a chance, that was until a sea of covenant was spotted approaching very fast.
There were thousands of them, tens of thousands. The most numerous were the grunts of course, but the Chief had never seen so many elites before. There were also hundreds of brutes and hunters.
“We’re gonna die, we’re all gonna die!” a marine yelled.
“Get damn head out of your ass soldier, you are a marine of the Earth!” Sergeant Johnson yelled. This was the biggest battle the Master Chief had been in, and he was going to do what he did best, he was going to win.
Twenty ghost boosted ahead of the horde and opened fire as they approached.
“Rockets!” the Chief yelled. Thirty marines fired their rocket launcher all at once. The rockets sailed through the air and headed straight for the ghosts. As this happened two marines were completely mutilated by showers of plasma that the ghosts had been shooting. The fact that the mine complex was on a hill helped the efforts to defend it greatly.
The rockets found their targets. One hit a ghost right in the nose hurling it backwards as it tumbled through the floor. Two more rockets hit their mark, destroying the ghosts and shattering them into a million pieces. One rocket hit an Elite driver, blowing him along with the ghost to pieces. Some rockets missed because of the brilliant maneuvering of the driver. One brute swayed from side to side dodging two rockets, the third got him though, it him right in the tail sending him tumbling forward and into a rock. The impact broke the Brute’s body in two and the ghost was left in tatters. When the smoke cleared only two ghosts were left and before they could go back, two marines homed on them and fired their launcher, each one nailing their targets.
The Chief felt the floor rumble as the covenant army charged, for the first time, in battle felt as hope was slipping away.
Stay tuned for part 2. By the way this is only the beginning of a saga.
Ps. I dont know the story and neither do you so I tried to avoid it as much as possible, the few tidbits i give are just speculation.
