Subject: My first encounter with our new friends. and some old ones.

i was walking along at night and i see 3 brutes ahead just standing along. i was lost after my pod dropped and some Superintendent kept telling me where to go, but i always ended up walking in circles. So I walk up to the brutes and ask them, "Hey, have you guys seen where the nearest crashed pod is?" They just looked at me in dismay and I realized that they don't speak English. Moments later, a swarm of Elites come in and slice the Brutes into little chops.
As I'm sitting there, with lumps of you-know-what in my suit, the Elites look down at me, take my hand, lift me up and took me up in their Phantom. I was sure as hell that I was a dead man and that they were taking me prisoner. So as we are flying into the cruiser, I see more marines, but they don't look like they are being held prisoner. All of them, about 40 or so, laughing and having a good time as Pelicans and Warthogs are being loaded up. The phantom landed and Elites shoved me out. Then I seen him.
70 meters away, Master Chief was walking, carrying a Sniper Rifle, Armed Turret and a few Battle Rifle rounds. What's going on here, I thought. Are we going into battle as allies? That must have been what was going on in the streets when those Elites came in and slaughtered those Brutes.
I walked up to my fellow soldiers and saw one of my good buddies, Dustin Echoes.
"How's it going?" He said, with a big grin on his face. It must have been four months since I seen him. Man was he beat up. I just smiled back.
"Did you hear?" One marine said. "They've uncovered something in the sand."
"What do you mean?" Asked Dustin.
"I mean they've found something in the sand and we have no clue what it is. Entire fleet of Cruisers have been coming in all morning. Looks like they found whatever it was they were looking for." The marine said.
I still didn't know what was going on.
"Hey, does anyone know why the Elites are now Enemies with the Brutes?" I asked. Dustin looked at me.
"You mean you don't know?" He asked with wide eyes. I shook my head. "Well.. when I was on Amber Clad and Master Chief entered on a Pelican after destroying a scarab, the Cruiser that you were going to land on was jumping. We then engaged it. When we came out on the other side, we discovered another ring. Long story short, the Elites were basically dropped from being the Prophet's protectors after Master Chief killed one of them. This then caused a civil war between the Brutes and the Elites. After Miranda and Sgt. Johnson stopped the ring from firing, we showed up and returned to Earth on one of the fleet's vessels and arrived before the Forerunner Dreadnought with the Chief onboard." He took a deep breathe as we watched him close his eyes. Remembering those awful sights. So many lives taken. So much death.
We heard a large thump and were told that the Covenant have discovered the Ark and that they have gone through it. Now it was our turn. Feet first.
