This is my first fan fiction, so any comments and critique would be appreciated. I know it's not the best; I'm still pretty new at writing stories, but I hope you enjoy it!
Part One
Derrick Wilson watched as his teammates climbed into their drop pods. It was his first drop, his first mission. He nervously climbed into his own pod and the hatch closed in front of him. He heard his Gunnery Sergeant on his comm. "Alright rookies! We're dropping in the dead center of the city. Brutes have taken over most of it. You know the mission: Take back this colony. We're not gonna turn this planet into another Reach!"
Derrick tightened his grip as the pod detached from the ship. He felt the HEV rush through the atmosphere towards the planet. The surface was coming quicker than he expected. Derrick closed his eyes and braced for the impact.
The HEV hit the ground with a tremendous force. Derrick shook his head, dazed. The hatch popped off his pod and he stumbled out. He held up his SMG and searched the immediate area for any Covenant, but there were none.
He looked at the sky and saw the rest of his squad fall to the surface, burning like meteors. Many crashed far away, but one landed in the same street as him. Derrick rushed to the pod as its passenger exited it. He saw the sniper in the ODST's hand and knew it was Gerald Danvers, another rookie.
Derrick smiled, forgetting his face was hidden by the helmet. His smile vanished as he heard shots fired down the street. Several spikes flew by Derrick's head. He lept for cover behind Gerald's pod. Gerald crouched and fired three shots from his sniper rifle. Two of them found their mark in the head of a Brute in the distance.
"Come on Wilson!" Gerald yelled. "We may be new but that's no excuse to hide throughout the whole battle!" Derrick stood up shakily and nodded. Gerald pointed to a small building. "I'm going up there for higher ground. I'll do what I can from there. It's best if we split up! That way we won't get noticed!"
Derrick nodded. "Okay! I-I'll continue down this street. See if I can find the rest of that Brute's patrol." Gerald turned to the building and left. Derrick gripped his SMG and started his walk into enemy territory.
