The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

You know, you're really good at putting things up when I'm away.

Great chapters, David is now officially the Love Ninja.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

January 25 2526 1000 Local Time
Emerald Cove, City Streets.

David sat in the front seat of an undercover UNSC MP cruiser. The car was black and had one way tinted windows. He could clearly see out but no outsiders could see in. To his left, sat Corporal William Taylor. Caucasian, short cropped blond hair, around 26 years old. In the back sat Lieutenant James Davan, his dark skin nearly blended in with the dark material. All three men were wearing civilian clothes, jeans, and T shirts, they had tactical vests, gloves, and steel toed combat boots and they were all wearing wrap around shooters glasses that projected a HUD on to their retina.

They were following their squad's other vehicle, a white van, with the rest of the action squad on board. It was to be a simple snatch and grab, their target, called "Crimson Jacob" was the mastermind behind the National Holiday massacre.

They were to go in fast, snatch him, then escape to a Prowler in orbit before the local Innie cells could respond. That, along with a hastily planned mission brief was all David got before being put into cryo for the journey. All the strike team knew was his name, and his callsign: Tombstone.

That was the main form of comms between members, a single nickname was easier to remember than a full name. Talyor and Davan for example were Warlock and Chiron.

Suddenly the van stopped in front of a hotel and two operators stepped out. Out of the hotel came a man that was smaller than Jacob and his skin tone was lighter. The men noticed this and motioned for him to get on the ground, as he was doing so he pulled out an M6B and dropped both of them, then turned towards the cruiser.

Chiron and David dove for cover under the dashboard, but Warlock took too long and was hit in the neck and head, gore covered the driver's side, but David looked away has he jumped out of the car along with Davan in chase of the man.

Davan called over his com "This is strike team one! We are in pursuit of what appears to be Jacob's right hand man, three men down, cut him off if you can!"

Around the corner they heard more gunshots and the screeching tires of cars stopping. David caught a glimpse of the man ducking into an allyway and climbed up onto a 2 story walkway to flank him. Chiron and two other operators followed him down the alley. The suspect climbed over a 9 foot tall fence and out of view of the men below!

"Damnit! he's gonna get away."

"No he's not>" David calmly stated as he jumped through the thin wood wall and right on top of the suspect as he turned another corner.

Chiron climbed over the fence to the sight of David with an M6C at the suspect's temple.

"Good work Tombstone. HQ, we have what appears to be Crimson Jacob's right hand man, please advise."

Chiron became angered when there was no response over the com.

"I'm getting static on my end too boss." said Tempest.

Suddenly, the other man, Blackout looked up in shock. The others looked up at a huge shockwave blasted the prefabricated and wooden structures.

One Covenant cruiser was in close orbit, then another slipped in, then three, then five.

The Covenant were here.

Short I know, but don't worry...it's gon be kay.

Also, there is a pretty obvious easter egg with every man's call sign. Winnar get's a cookie.

We go head first into hell sir!

Even though this breaks so much canon, I find it really interesting! Good job!

That's why it's Fan Fiction and I personally think David fits right in to the Halo universe.

Oh, snap! Now we get to see the true extent of what you've created here. Moar!

10 minutes later

The plan was simple, the Covenant were jamming all ground to space communications, they just needed to get above the cruisers to broadcast a message for pickup. That, unfortunately for the team, would require then to move through five miles of Covenant controlled territory, using weapons that for all purposes were completely useless against the Covenant for all they knew.

"Just another walk in the park" said Chiron,

David was taking point through a narrow alley. It was more like a space between two houses, the only thing that separated it from the street was thin plywood.

Suddenly, a huge mass burst through the thin wall and pinned David to the ground. Cipher and Tempest opened fire on the Elite as it barred down on him with an energy dagger. It took a large amount of his strength just go hold the knife away from his neck. The Elite pushed harder and jammed the knife into David's neck.

The saurian pushed him down and charged down the alley towards the other three men. They had been continuously firing at it with M& submachine guns with no effect, but finally, five feet away, it's shields finally gave way. It charged Tempest, knocking him to the ground, but Blackout tackled it, the Elite stuck the energized blade into his ribs, crying out in pain he fell. It got back up and forced Cipher against the wall, holding the blade to his neck.

Suddenly, it slouched and plummeted to the earth. Three meters away, David held a smoking M6C with one hand, and clutched his neck with the other. They quickly filled up the opening in his neck with biofoam, but had to move quickly.

"I'll manage for a while." David said barely audible, the knife had clearly damaged his voice box.

They left the corpse of Blackout, he knew what he had signed up for.

They managed to ghost their way though block after block, having to see the gruesome spectacle of civilians being rounded up and executed. The Covenant also ransacked every human home, almost like they were searching for something. AT one point they were feet away in the shadows when a bird like alien dragged a three year old girl away from her family, they didn't stay to see what it did.

Finally, they reached the outskirts of town and ran for the hills, literally.

Being above the cruisers the signal got through and they escaped easily enough. Just them though.

Chiron had been frightened when the other strike team hadn't reported in. He had just assumed eventually however that they had made an evac before hand. Tempest, David, and Chiron were the only surviving members of supposedly best unit in the UNSC.

The war was just beginning.

Wait... Elites are stronger than David? Huh. I thought David was fully over-powered, but apparently not. Still though, awesome stuff.

Well, the elite did get the jump on him, and I am glad you brought this overpowering thing up, since I have no idea how to fit it in the text I will describe David's implants in full here.

David, is essentially as strong as Sam or John, but his cybernetic implants and titanium skeleton allow him to access more strength than them, it is just very painful. He only goes completely crazy and superman strong when he get's angry and only when he is not on the nullification agent which ONI Beta 5 gives to him in large doses.

His redundant organs also allow him to take more punishment, he has two hearts as well as others, so he can keep fighting even after a fatal would, this is because if he had stayed in the SPARTAN program he would essentially be a shock trooper, bearing the brunt of the punishment and allowing the other Spartans to complete their objectives.

Ah, right. Now I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

December 18 2528
UNSC Colony Daedalus 7
----------------


The mission had gone to -blam!-.

David laid motionless at the bottom of a 3 foot deep fountain flooded with water in the town square of the UNSC Outer Colony's capital. Their goal was simple, and yet they had failed.

David hadn't heard from the other teams for hours, the others were accounted for. He was laying on and under them. The Covenant had ambushed them while scouting the square. David could do nothing as an invisible split lip took out his team and sliced off his arm.

They had been dragged to the fountain and were being systematically shot, once each in the chest, with a plasma pistol. Each fell, into the water with a splash. David had long stopped learning the names of the replacements that were joining his unit, he had just focused on one mission at a time.

Their mission: to knock out a Field Master who reported straight to the Covenant leadership, whoever that was, with a well placed calling card to the head.

As his team was being killed, David's mind simply had gone blank with pain. He clutched the stump of his arm and shook in pain as he felt his heart's pump faster and faster, he was unable to move. Finally, his turn came. The Elite smiled with his four jaws as he fire three bursts of plasma into his chest.

Short I know, but Ive been really busy lately.

Sorry guys gotta go now!

Now.

Six Hours Later....
---------------

David woke up with a searing pain in his chest, his head was thumping and everything seemed so far away... He was vaguely aware of water rushing over him. The broken fountainhead above him sprayed water into the basin at a strange angle, raining upon the bodies sprawled inside.

He tried to sit up, but the lancing pain in his side forced him to sit still, the pain saved his life.

Suddenly, a Jackal jumped on to the lip of the fountain, searching for survivors. A wounded Army trooper was convulsing in the corner and looked up at the beaked creature, it was the last thing he saw before the ugly fired a magazine of Needler into the man's chest, causing him to explode and shake the fountain.

The creature pulled out it's plasma pistol and fired a dozen or so shots into the red mess. One glanced against David's thigh, it took all his willpower not to cry out in pain, but eventually the Jackal left and continued moving with his unit.

Slowly, the operator crawled forward on his stomach, towards the edge of the fountain, where he saw an SR99C and an M6 on the corpse of what appeared to be a dead ODST.

As he crawled forward however the Spartan saw it wasn't a corpse at all, in fact, the man moved his finger up to his visor and made the universal 'shhh' sign.

Suddenly, he spoke in a rich British accent "I need your help...follow me, and we can avenge this..." With that, he grabbed the rifle and low crawled over to the destroyed lip of the fountain and sat against it, laying low.

David slid over, and propped himself up on the other side of the breach. The man spoke again.

"Sergeant Paul Wilkens, Force Recon...We were sent to evac the civies, then all went to hell o'course. My team went down and I fell out of the back of the dropship...why are you here?" He asked

Suddenly, from the ruins a hundred yards away, a gold clad Elite stepped from a Covenant dropship and walked to what appeared to be a command tent.

"Him..."David croaked, "These...Elites, are responsible for the deaths of millions of men, women, and children...ONI plans of taking them out, any of the gold clad ones."

"Damn, I'd sure like to be the one to take one o' them out." Wikens said, looking down.

"Well Sergeant, today is your lucky day" David said, exposing his burns and damaged armor, "My injuries make me incapable of holding a rifle...so you'll do it for me...you up for a suicide mission?"

"Yes sir!" the young sergeant said giving a two fingered salute.

Gonna start doing more frequent, smaller updates.

Ah! Wicked chapter. I felt such suspense, due to the music I'm listening to.

Is that a good idea? I'd rather you wait until you've got a reasonable chapter going before you post.

I am a Lone Wolf of Reach's Ruins. I am in a Team, and I will listen; although when I can, I go my own way, and lead my own way. When the situation calls, I will do as ordered.
Only when I must.

I love the story - I am quite fine with waiting for a decent chapter. Small chunks don't pull me in. They make me skim and move on - it no longer feels like a story.

(Tip: Write a section here, copy it, and paste it into, say, MS Word. Paste it back and finish it later. Do not write it in word and copy it here, though - it will complain that the format/font is messed up if you type even a single word in the document that wasn't directly copied from the forum textbox.)
