**Disclaimer**
This thread was originally posted yesterday under the "Bungie Universe" Forum and it was mentioned that the gallery would be a better place for this, I however disagree in that this story is my own premise for a possible expansion game. Whatever the case, posting it here in case I'm wrong (since it wouldn't be the first time and probably not the last) and I'm looking for input/feedback from you, the fans like me, as to whether or not you think it is worth pursuing further if not as an expansion, then as a story. Thanks all!
**Disclaimer**


Noble Six was done for and he knew it, but he was going to take as many of the Covenant with him as he could. He and the Noble team had done everything that was expected of them and then some. They died honorably and they would be remembered, but Noble Six was not falling without ensuring that these Covenant within arm's reach, those that survived this fight that is, would also remember them. Remember how many of their own lives it took to bring just one Spartan down. If he could
leave that memory to haunt them in future engagements against the UNSC, then not only did his team find victory, but Six would find his own personal victory.

He was flat on his back, an elite having faked an overhand swing with it's sword and instead bringing the handle of the weapon down on his head. The last thing he saw was a red elite rearing his sword back for a final lunge. His vision blurred and Six could only hear what happened next. To his
surprise, it wasn't the hum of an energy sword punching through his armor, but rather two loud cracks like thunder. His ears were ringing from the noise, but his vision cleared enough for him to see a blurred picture of the red Elite dropping it's sword and falling face first into the dirt next to him. He saw his other attackers moving away from him and when his sight went dark again, he heard something move near him, an Elite that stayed to finish him he assumed.

"Let's go Six. We still got a little work to do before we're allowed to die." came Jun's accent. Six thought maybe he had been killed after all or at best, hallucinating as his concussion kicked in.

"Your mad, I can't save Reach" he replied in almost a whisper "the planet will be glass in no time."

"You're right, but WE might still be able to do some good before that happens, but first I need you to quit napping and grab your weapon...on your feet Spartan!"

Maybe I'm not done... Six thought at least not yet...


Would you all like to see this continue as an expansion/add-on game with a few more missions on Reach before it's all said and done once and for all???
If not, are you interested in reading more if I continue writing it? Thanks for the feedback either way.

An assassin will always carry on, even after death.

a couple of votes, but only one reply? ...little help here please community, can I at least get a couple of more replies and if not just a vote from some more people would be extremely helpful. Just want a decent estimation as to whether or not there is enough interest in my take on the story, if there is, I'll continue it...if not for a plausible expansion than just for the gallery... little help?

This is a dead account.

Any messages received will be ignored, and burned.

I liked it, though maybe put a little description on the setting somewhere in there.

Are these manditory?

Agreed.

I hear ya on the description all, a good point to make and typically with my writing and writing in general there is always at least a little on the setting/ enviro. description...but I chose to continue right at the tail end of the last cutscene we see in the game (prior to seeing the helmet with the mountain backdrop that is) so we all kind of have a visual idea of the setting already, didn't seem necessary, plus I didn't want to run the initial post too long.
Good point though and there will be description in the future should enough people want to see what happens next. Thanks all.

When I read 'Let's go six'
I knew it was Jun. This is good.

alright. Going to continue.
Check back weekly (maybe sooner, slow at work right now but I don't wanna push it) for additions...
I haven't moved forward yet because I wanted to have enough interest for it to be worth writing, but to be honest, I wanna see what happens next too! Between a prior thread and this one, the poll (though low numbers, won out on expansion and the continuation of this story). Check back soon fellow fans...
(queue the Back to the Future music) To Be Continued...

just a regular halo fan jumped in late but have all the halo games and play everyday send me a message if u want to play halo 3 ,halo odst , halo reach

halo the original is the big ending the ship gets attacked and u carry on as the newly awoken master chief there is no reason for anymore time spent on reach the point was to retreat and regroup
and destroy the halos hence "halo" as i would hope you already knew this and there are rumors of a ship in the end cutscene of a ship rising from the hills

ok people, trying to revive this. Trying to make a deal with myself to write this regardless and I don't need a mess of posts (as I would have liked originally), but let's see if we can at least break 30 on the poll count (hopefully most of which at least want the story)

  • 06.03.2011 12:44 PM PDT

Sounds alright. I don't really see what could be done, though. Six most definitely did die as Halsey says at the end, and Reach most certainly was glassed...

I don't know, man. I'm no person to judge as I brought bloody Johnson back to life in my post-Halo 3 fan-fiction, but this seems like a limited and nonsensical premise to me.

Eh, depends on what you do with it. There are certainly places you could take the story if you've got the crazy, but you'll need a lot of crazy.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
-George S. Patton

Please! Continue your story! It's great!

If you can read this, that means I'm not a Shaolin monk...

yet.

Story, yeah. More Reach, no.
