do u have a website with just the chapters listed instead of it just being in the forum? would be cool to have in a word file so i could read it on my phone....


See the link to the fanfiction.net page a few pages back.

And did Hatred say he was from Germany?

Oh, and Explosive, the mention in the sig works better with a link.

The promotion meant that Simmons had to re-qualify on the drop pods, and so did Dominique, O’Donnell and Puller. They were slated to shoot off from the Commonwealth before she left system. The plan was to head up, shoot down and have the rest of the men use it as a search and rescue exercise. The Commonwealth was a flurry of activity and the four extra Marines were just getting in the way. As soon as their Pelican cleared the hangar bay doors, the system cycled shut. They were led through the ship’s corridors by an anxious looking Ensign who simply wanted nothing more than to get rid of her charge. When O’Donnell tried his normal joke about ‘great outfit, where’d you get it?’ she simply named a Reach uniform depot, as if she didn’t understand.
The ODST Launch Room was a notoriously intimidating place. Dominique put what everyone else was thinking into words with “You know what, this place is Hell’s Waiting Room…” O’Donnell thought the name was so fitting he wrote it down in his notebook with the intention of putting it in his submission to the Marine Corps Manual.
Simmons double-checked every pod’s path projection and fuel supply, since he didn’t relish the idea of not getting enough retro fuel twice in a row. He knew it was unnecessary, but the weight projections were already locked in, so each soldier had to drop with full gear. Each helmet was sealed and each weapon was loaded as they boarded their pods. By the time Simmons looked up and strapped in, there were only four seconds left on his mission timer.
-0:00:03
Simmons started humming the Marine Corps hymn.
-0:00:02
He realized he had forgot the second verse and decided to drop it.
-0:00:01
An error message flashed on Simmons’ pod display. The target zone was being re-written from a source on the ship. Simmons tried to route the display to abort the launch.
0:00:00
Simmons braced his feet as his pod left the Commonwealth with explosive force.

I definitely just started reading you fanfiction today, and i think it is awesome. I hope you don't think i am a dick when I say this, but I consider myself a pretty damn awesome Halo player and writer/editor. If possible, i would like to help out the story by editing what you have written, such as me correcting grammatical mistakes and clarifying things... Please don't take this the wrong way! I think the story is awesome! It would just be better... I am not an egotistical person. Sorry.

You guys aren't very talkative this week. What gives? Did the Halo 3 announcement render you all speechless? If so, thats understandable. The music in that trailer was beastly.

How to put this elegantly...? SUE ME!!! I've got all night, so chill and you'll get your chapter. Or maybe I'm just too offended now to work. You'll just have to wait and see.

Hey Rainman,

That's right dude, don't let them dictate when a chapter should come out... You are writing this for you own, and possibly a few others' benefits, and for no profit, and it is not your job to make them happy. They should, and had better be, content with what you decide to give them. That being said, this power over them should be used justly. You are handling it graciously. Congratulations on your story and on your grasp of matters.

By the way, two questions:

1. How old are you?

2. Do you have a Live Gamertag? If so, I would like to play with you sometime.

I've never written anything like that. You seem to have me confused with some one else.

Tut tut, have patience. Good thing come to those who wait. Good things like a flashback chapter.

Chapter 18
1400 Hours, June 3, 2523 (Military Calendar)/
Sol System, Planet Earth, Quantico Marine Academy
Simmons chewed the end of his pencil. He was done with the exam but he knew he had missed a few. Amacus on the other hand was reclining in his chair. That smug ass, Simmons thought. He aced astrophysics without even trying. But Simmons was a Marine for goodness sake, what did he even need this class for? Oh well, it’s almost graduation. The young student-soldier had thought this thought a thousand times in the last week.
When the bell rang, the two friends headed back to their rooms together. Antonio Silva was pacing the room. “Epsilon Eridani, Chi Ceti, Jericho’s IV, V, and VI…”
“Need help? You’re studying major insurrections, right?”
“Yeah, thanks Amacus. I’m stuck on Epsilon Eridani.”
“Well, you ladies stay here and study, I’m going to blow off some steam.”
Simmons was used to conversations with Amacus ending that way. He knew they would meet up in the mess hall, and he knew that the main courtyard would be a good place for a walk until them. Poor Antonio was a hard working Marine, but his fine arts grades were horrible. He had an F in History until Amacus helped him out. Anything tactical however, and Silva held his own with the best of them. He had come quite close to beating Amacus’ record score on the Small Unit Tactics Exam, and the three had celebrated long and hard that night.
Deep in thought, Simmons was prone to walk straight into the street at the end of the courtyard, and once he only escaped being hit by a general’s Warthog because Amacus held him back. This time he remembered the road and stopped on the curb. Across the street however, a Navy lieutenant watched him. Simmons saluted and walked past him. The man returned the salute with a skeptical look, as if Simmons wasn’t good enough for whatever it was he was doing.
Amacus later noted that all officers looked at Simmons that way, for which he received a punch on the arm. After dinner, the pair met up with a melancholy Silva, who thought he had failed his history exam.
“You did not,” Simmons told him.
“Hey, I helped you didn’t I?” Amacus never was one for being humble.
“I hope your right… hey, what’s going on over there?” Silva pointed to an alley behind the mess hall. Three civilians were kicking something and cursing.
“Hey!” Simmons shouted out and the thugs wheeled around. They had been kicking a female Ensign, who appeared unconscious.
“Move along college boys,” the biggest, ugliest thug shouted.
“Get away from her,” Silva responded, “and put your hands on the wall.”
“How ‘bout I put my hands in you face, jerk?” With that the three attempted muggers charged at the cadets. Simmons headed the big one off and proceeded to beat him senseless. Silva met up with the fastest ruffian, and gave him what he was due. The last man looked desperate, and only fought Amacus after he cut off escape. Simmons had already knocked the big one senseless when he heard Amacus cry out. After seeing his friend drop to the ground, Simmons became like a man possessed and chased after the culprit, but to no avail. Back in the alley, Silva had propped up the ensign and Amacus against the wall.
“They’re both hurt bad. I’m gonna go get the MP’s. You’re better at first aid then me anyway.” With that Silva ran off, leaving Simmons in charge of two unconscious criminals and two injured military personnel.
“I’ll live,” Amacus whispered. He showed Simmons where the frantic criminal had stabbed him in the side.
“Too bad, I could have been valedictorian,” Simmons joked. Amacus laughed, and coughed up a little blood. “She doesn’t look so good either,” Simmons said to his friend, not knowing he had passed out. She was very pale, and her dark hair was in a non-regulation bun. As Simmons began to perform fundamental first aid, Silva returned with the MP’s and the skeptical lieutenant from earlier in the day.
In the hospital, the MP’s asked dozens of questions and Silva and Simmons didn’t get to see Amacus for hours. He made a recovery in a week, and they all received a commendation from the CO of the base. Simmons later inquired as to the identity of the ensign they had saved, but he never got a straight answer.
