(For anyone who is reading this I hope you enjoy it. Its something I through together in like 30 minutes.)


Hello,
My name is Michael Thomas Handley, but everyone calls me Mike. And today is the greatest day of my life. It is graduation day and I will offically become a UNSC soldier. I will get to fight side-by-side with the great Master Chief. You see every male in my family his served in the UNSC and before it, and now it is my turn. I glanced in the massive crowd scanning them, and I noticed my mother and father in the crowd. My mother was taking as many pictures as she could, but I wasn't paying attention to her. I was, mainly, looking at my father. He was a Major and ever since I was a boy he began training for this day. Not once did I see him smile, but this day...this day was different. I could tell he was prould of me and I saw him smile

As my classmate and I were waiting in line, I noticed a man in a room above the crowd run back and forth. It seemed like he was scared of something, but I didn't care. Nothing could ruin this day. About ten minutes passed and I was next in line. I glanced back at the room where that man was and now there were three men and they were staring at a computer. I started to get a closer look, but then they called my name and I walked up the podium. The announcer said some words and handed me my certificate and as I was about to shake his hand there was a loud boom. The room started to shake and an alarm went off.

The crowd started to panic. Soldier and staff in the room tried to calm them down but they coulded. Then a loud voice over the intercom and said," PLEASE CALMLY MAKE YOUR WHY TO THE ESCAPE PODS." That continued to say that as people started running to the pods. Some were so ancious to get out, they jump, punch, kicked, anything they could to get there. I was helping someone up when the door behind me collapsed. My mother and father along with other were trapped. I tried to get them out, but then my father said," son it to late, theres no possible way to save us."
I screamed," THERE HAS TO." I comtinued to struggle to move the rocks.
Mother said," honely please get out while you still can. We love you so much."
But I didn't care. I kept at it until something picked me up. It was Master Cheif. I sturggle to loosen myself, but I couldn't budge. I started sobing as I watched My mother and father be cruched by a mountian of rubble. Master Chief through me in the escape pod, get in and shut the door. As we launched I just stared out the pod window and watched the the ship be blown sky high.

The pilot said,"the closes planet is about three hours away Chief. Get strapped in, its gonna be a long ride."

Day 2

The trip to planet...I don't know. Anyway it was suppose to be three hours but it felt like for ever. All I did was look at the floor. I didn't say anything or move at that most. I just kept thinking about what happened. What my mother said...I couldn't get it out of my head. I just kept hearing it over and over again. During the trip I though about the Master Chief. I use to idolize him, look up to him. Now I feel hatred, betrayed. He was hero, he could have helped me...he should helped me. I glanced up and looked at him. He was just sitting there, staring into space. Then something snapped inside of me. I got up and, with all my might, I started punching and kicking him. I wanted to kill him. The Covenant didn't kill my parents, he did. Or at least that's what I though. No less than thirty seconds after I tried to kill him, he just stood up, picked me up by my through and said," Sit down and calm down."
But, I continued to struggle and managed to say," ya...you killed my parents....its your fault there dead."
Then Chief through him in the seat and strapped him down with seat beats from seats next to him, to the point where the only thing he could move was his head. Then he got on one knee, face to face with Mike and said," There was nothing you could have done and there's nothing I could've..."
"YES THERE WAS. MY PARENTS WOULD BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU!"Mike interrupted him, starts to sob,"YOU COULD HAVE HELPED ME! YOU WOULD'VE SAVED THEM!"
Then, in the most calming voice Master Chief said," There's nothing you could have down." After that he sat down in his seat and went to sleep. Through the rest of the trip I didn't say anything to anyone.

About ten minutes before were suppose to land the pilot gets a call saying to planet we were going to is under attack. Pilot comes over the intercom and says,"Looks like we got a battle on are hands boys. Buckle up its gonna be a bumpy ride."

(Sorry I Haven't posted any new parts to the story I was gone for the week. So here is Part 2 to Day 2)

Day 2 Pt. 2 - Soldiers Side

The pilot said we were going into combat on some planet called Lithius...or at least I think. Anyway, I was nervous because I never had any real combat. It was all training stuff. But I thought this could help me forget about the Master Chief.
When we got the Lithius, the pilot had to land outside the city. The troops who were already here were pinned down at the center of the city and there Phantoms making sure no reinforcements could land in the city. Thank god the Convenient didn't see use. Once we landed, the officer on board briefed us as we got are weapons. His name was Master Sargent Williams. He told us in a demanding voice," Alright you ladies we got troops in the middle of the city." He pulled a marker and drew a diagram of the situation.
He continued," Now those alien bastards gots every entrance surrounded land and air. Basically it's a death trap."
I looked around the ship and saw worried, but then the Sargent said in a realized voice,"Fortunately my sources say that here," pointing to a something on the diagram,"there is a series of alley ways that lead straight to our troops. Now its being guarded, but not and bad as the streets are. If were quiet we can takem' out and get are boys back home. Now if there aren't any questions lets get out there." No one said anything and we headed outside.
Once outside I saw the destruction of what the Convenient did to the city. I didn't have time to observe because Sargent Major was eager to get out of this hell hole. So once everyone was suited up we ran straight to the city. Once at the city I noticed a stench that almost made me sick. I looked around and saw the decaying bodies of the innocent victims from the attack. There was a guy behind me who couldn't hold it and throw up. Almost hit me to. Sargent Major sent someone back to help him and we continued on. Once we saw some enemies we rushed into the nearest alley. It was a brute and three grunts. A guy with a sniper took out the brute while too other guys got the grunts. I stuck the using the alleys for safety. The most we saw was a grunt or rat. Nothing to big.
The trip to the troops was only about four miles but it seemed like ten due to us using the alleys. It took us three hours to make it to the stranded troops, and pinned downed hard. The pilot tuned into there radio signal. Once we got a hold of them, First Lt. Girgs answered," Hello...can anyone hear me.
The pilot Cpl. Miks replied," Yes, this Cpl. Miks, where here to get you out of there soldier.
Grigs excitedly said," Oh thank god almighty, he boys were saved." cheers in the background.
Miks asked," What is your situation right now?"
Grigs replied," Were pinned down. There four banshees, two wraiths , and multiple ghost. We got a couple of Warthogs in the back, but some covies are guarding them. If you can take out the ones in the back and the banshee guarding the base we can get over there to you."
Master Chief demanded," Alright you heard the man,"point to one of the soldiers"you with the sniper take out the guys in the back. You take the laser and get those banshees out. Hop to it."
The sniper got nothing but head shots, and I was amazing, he was one of the most skilled marksman I've ever seen. Once the guy took out the banshee the Chief ran to the base. everyone was covering him except me. I was still pissed at him. Once he made it there, he kick in the door and went in. It wasn't long before he came out with a squad of men behind him. I finally turned around and started giving cover. I didn't want to see anyone else die. Once they got here Sargent Major was cheering and for the first time in a while, I was smiling.
Then we heard a boom I turned around and Sargent Major fell in my arms. Bullet to the head. There was blood on my face. and i just there in shock holding him. Master Chief took him throw him over his shoulder and ordered us to to get back to the ship, but I couldn't move. Lt. Grigs had to pick me up.
We made it back to the ship without seeing any other enemies. Once we were in space there were three phantoms behind us. The pilot could shake them. Then one of the phantoms hit are left engine and the ship was going down. The pilot said," were gonna have to make a crash landing."
Chief asked,"Where?"
Miks shouted,"This planet."
Chief said,"Its uncharted though."
Miks replied," Its only chance we got. Hold on boys its gonna be a bumpy one."
