Harvest, USNC Kilo Base: Cpl. Jecetti-

"Get to your defense stations, double time!" screamed Sgt. Johnson. It was chaos, nobody knew what was happening. Me and some other jarheads were playing blackjack and a mind sweeping explosion hit the ground, we clearly were under attack but by who? "What the -blam!- is going on!" nervously screamed one of the soldiers. I then heard shooting and more explosions. I had to get to my machine gun turret at the second floor of the base. Me and several other scared marines ran to our stations. Honestly, I wasn't scared, oh yeah that's why I joined. When I finally reached my turret a huge cloud of smoke covered the front of the base, I couldn't see anything. When the smoke cleared I saw a sight I will never forget, I forgot why I joined.

What were they? There seemed to be many types, there were these stubby ones armed with small weapons, they had triangle like things sticking out of there backs. They were all following a tall and thin creature armed with a blue shrobe sword. I fired round after round at the aliens, the little ones fell quickly but when I shot the tall one a blue current covered their body protecting them. Then tank like vehicles appeared in the distance. Once they appeared all the ground forces retreated back to them. Had we won? Many marines cheered with joy, I guess nothing can stop the UNSC. I was so distracted by all the cheering and all the celebrating that I took all my attention away from the aliens.

"In coming!" screamed a marine. I looked up, I saw balls of blue shrobe like material flying in the air. The balls came closer and closer and....

My eyes slowly opened, I tried to stand up but only to fall back down, were am I? I looked around I saw marines hiding behind destroyed warthogs. I couldn't see all the shooting going on, my ears were all messed up. I saw the tall and thin creatures advancing on the marines, they looked scary and the creatures seemed to only have one purpose on Harvest, to kill. They stuck there swords right into the marines stomachs. After every kill they looked to the sky and gave out some sort of cry, I couldn't hear it though. Then suddenly I started being dragged, it brought me back to my senses. I could hear all the gun shots and the war cries of the aliens, even the screams of the marines. I looked up to see who was dragging me. It was Sgt. Johnson, he fired his rifle with one had and dragged me with his other. When he brought me back to cover he pulled me up and said "On your feet soldier."

"What the -blam!- are they!" I yelled.

"Does it matter, what ever they are they're shooting at us so your going to shoot back," he demanded. He handed me a dead soldiers rifle. Sgt. Johnson had always liked me, I think it was the fact that I never really got scared. I had nothing to lose in the military, I joined the core to die, with honor. My family hated me, my girlfriend was a slut, my closest friend committed suicide, my life wasn't that great. I was shipped to Harvest to become a base guard. I meet Jerry Hasfield.. Oh -blam!- Jerry! "Sir have you seen Jerry!"

"Keep shooting soldier," he yelled. When he said that I made a choice I shouldn't have. I started running right into the action looking for Jerry. Jerry was my best friend and I wasn't going to let anything happen to him. I ran to a group of marines and looked around, no Jerry. One of the marines was trying to call in air support. After talking into the head-set he smiled and screamed "Helps on the way boys!" When he stood up he took a plasma shot to the face. He was dead before he hit the ground. I started firing my DMR I killed at least ten of the stubby aliens and maybe three of these short skinny creatures with long mouths. Me and the marines worked together and took out one of the tall leader aliens. "Oh -blam!- look out!" yelled a marine.

Two giant aliens covered with armor and armed with a giant plasma cannon charged at us. They killed almost all the marines with their large metal spear attached to their arm. One charged at me and just he was about to swing a gauss cannon fired at it and knocked it on its ass. Sgt. Johnson was driving he told he to get in or die, I got in. When he started driving out of the base I realized I wasn't finding Jerry.

We drove to the top of a hill outside the base, I could still hear the screams. Then Johnson said " Three...two....one." Kabooom, the whole base exploded with all the remaining marines inside. Johnson laughed with joy.

"What the -blam!- is wrong with you, there are marines in there!" I screamed.

"There were those aliens too, anyone in there was already dead, we had no other choice. Now did you join the core to cry or to kick some ass!" I didn't want to accept it but I knew he was right. He said there was a secret ONI building nearby, it was underground.

Harvest, ONI Delta Building: Cpl: Jecetti-

We arrived at a big rock, Johnson went to the side of the rock a pushed some buttons and a door leading to stairs opened on the rock. We walked in, as we got farther in we could hear voices. We finally reached the bottom, it was chaos. People were all on the phones trying to get hold of people and everybody looked scared. Johnson seemed to know the place like the back of his hand and he lead us to an office that said Colonel George E. Jenkins. We walked in and Johnson started giving the Colonel the situation. The Colonel seemed to know a lot about the aliens, he said they called themselves The Covenant. He said they were here to destroy Harvest. He said the tall ones code names are "Elites" and the little ones are "Grunts". I asked him about the giant ones and he said they were called "Hunters". "But help is on the way," the Colonel said.

"What do you mean help," said Johnson.

"A large fleet of vehicles, marines, even ODSTs are on the way to help."

"Hm, I'll believe it when I see it,'' Johnson said in a sassy tone. Suddenly a large bang was heard and the whole building shook.

"They're trying to get in!" a worker cried.

"Johnson, Cpl. we need you out there to keep them off til the reinforcements get here," said Colonel.

"Just like old times huh?" Johnson said to the Colonel.

"Just like old times," he replied.

Me and Johnson ran up the stairs, once we reached the door I went to open it but Johnson stopped me and he opened it very slowly. There was one elite and six grunts. Johnson threw a grenade and killed all the grunts and destroyed the elites armor. I fired a shot and the elite dropped dead. "Damn, you took my kill" said Johnson.

Then three elites armed with swords ran to us and slowly approached us. "What now," I nervously said.

"This," he replied. Johnson fired eight rounds of his DMR at an elite which took it down. One of the elites charged at him with its sword, luckily Johnson dodged it a grabbed the creature by its throat and took it to the ground where he punched it rapidly. The other dived on Johnson so I dived on the elite. I broke its neck, but its sword sliced my leg putting me in a pain I can't describe. I felt as if I had just been fried or roasted. I lye down in pain and used all the strength I had to go help Johnson. The elite was on top of him punching him again and again. I up my DMR and stuck it right in the elites face and said "welcome to Earth." Bang

I know this isn't the real story, I just made my own.
