"Halo: I'll Be Here"

Warning: I'm not so sure which forum I should post this to and also this is going to be a wall of text...

Basic Review:
It is 2541, the human colony Rurik was lost to superior Covenant ground, air, and space forces during late 2540; the UNSC plans to take it back. Their plan for attack is simple: Drop in the 4th Shock Troops Battalion and take back Rurik's capital, New Roslavl, after that the ODSTs need to set up a useful base of operations. Then the UNSC will bring in Marines and the 5th Infantry Divison (UNSC Army) to take complete control over the planet. But before the drop intel gets updated, a Jiralhanae (Brute) Chieftain is in command of the forces around and in New Roslavl; the UNSC wants him dead.

The ODSTs prepare to drop, once they hit the ground they get separated, leaving only Lance Corporal Mikhail Antonov Vasilyev and marksman (Well marks-woman) Staff Sergeant Lyudmila Nikolaevna Shanina to get to their sniper location near New Roslavl. Once they arrive at the location Shanina sets up a hide and calculates the various factors for taking to shot. But before she can pull the trigger Brutes discover Vasilyev and Shanina's location, a Brute shoots Shanina with a spiker pinning her to the ground, while Vasilyev killed both brutes. Shanina, dying, tells Vasilyev to take the shot. Vasilyev pulls the trigger killing the Brute Chieftain and sending the Covenant forces in disarray. Vasilyev tells the dying Shanina that "I'll be here, I'm not leaving you" then he kissed her goodbye (A kiss on the forehead, like someone would do with a family member). And then it ends.

The point is to see if people want to give me suggestions and what not.
