Intro


The young Elite stood before his community's leader,
"For the crimes you've committed, your are hear-by banished!" proclaimed the leader in his alien tongue. The word kept ringing in the young elite's head "Banished, Banished, Banished".
"I SAID BE GONE, NOW LEAVE VERMIN" roared the leader. Two Honor guards came in the futuristic court room in case there was any trouble.
The young elite stood there before saying very faintly "No, one tells Ungata what to do".
Ungata pulled a Plasma Rifle from his side and shot at the community leader, it missed sending a sizziling scorch mark into the wall behind him.
Panic ensued, all the aliens in the court room ran for exits, and over top all the screaming you still heard the "pichhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" of the honor guard flipping the energy swords on.
Ungata ran and kept running till he was far from his community. But he still ran, the only thing that kept him going was him telling himself over and over again "I am stronger then them, better then them, more powerful then them. I will join and become a leader of a powerful race. I WILL SHOW THEM, I WILL MAKE HISTORY!"
and guess what? He did.


Mission 1: Construct

Hidden/Spoiler:
"WHERE THE HELL IS LIME?" yelled the Blue and white spartan. His information tag addressed him as Lay, a "close combat major". His Rogue helmet showed no emotion but you could tell by his voice that he was angry.
"Probably dead, the lucky Diet Dr. Pepper" replied Watt. He was a "sniper major". Usually snipers stuck to a Scout helmet and dim colors. Watt was different. He was red and green and wore C.Q.B armor.
Watt unloaded a bullet into a zombie's head. "And this time stay dead" Watt yelled to no one in paticuler.
He slammed his weight against their barricade. The zombies just wouldn't stop, and they had limited men.
"General Chez, you have to call the Hornets in, the fire is too heavy!" exclaimed Ironwedge, the commander, in between fires from his Battle Rifle.
And it was true, the infected didn't stop shooting, and when they ran low on ammo, they would jump the barricade in a kamakazi like motion.
General Chez looked at the steel colored spartan as if he could see right through Ironwedge's ODST helmet.
"We will not leave Lime and his crew behind. Do you understand!?"
The reply was of course "YES, SIR!"
"And what if they're dead, general?". The question was asked in a calm yet serious tone.
General Chez looked at the questioner, a yellow, blue, and red elite, the tusks of his asethic helmet gleaming in the light.
Chez looked at his computer behind the barricade, "From these readings, it says they're alive".
"Ah, don't listen to the finger painting over there." said the smirk peach and blue colored elite.
The elite was behind them going through a rack of explosives, they were his specialty. He was Dindin, the "explosive major".
"My colors, might be odd, but I'm still your Colonel, Din" replied the yellow elite.
"I've heard it before, Ruse" replied Dindin, through is assault helmet.
"Hurry up, chose a goddam weapon already!" Lay screamed to Dindin.
"But, I love them all" Dindin said cheerfully, "But I guess I'll choose this one"
He heaved a Brute Shot out of the rack, jogged up to the blockade, and merrily blasted away three zombies.
"I hate you" Watt muttered coldly.
"Just doin' ma job" was the reply Watt got. If elite's could grin then Dindin would always be.

Footsteps were heard outside in the steel corridor, and a Lime green spartan with pink shoulders skidded to a halt. His E.V.A gleaming orange. Behind him two more spartans a pale Blue and white spartan with all Mark VI armor named Glace and a quivering C.Q.B spartan named Rodrigez. Rodrigez was red, head to toe.
"Captain Lime, do you have the info? And where is Cooktop's squad? I told you to escort them!" blurted out Chez
"I'm sorry general but even under your command, I'm not going to escort corpses" said Lime firmly
"Diet Dr. Pepper! another squad dead, but you have the info?" Chez asked
"Yes, the infection didn't even touch it, they don't have think, they just kill..."
You could here the vengeance in Lime's voice.
"Good, bring it here" Chez ordered "And who are the two soldiers behind you?"
"This is sargent Glace," said Lime while pointing to the pale blue spartan "And that is privite Rodrigez" pointing to the twitching private
Lime handed the chip over to Chez and whispered "The privite is pretty shakin' up about the war, I doubt he'll last long..."

Chez let the chip download onto his computer. He ordered Lime and his men into positions. "Lime you and your privite come and help fight the zombies off the barricade, Glace go guard the opposite corridor"
Lime and Rodrigez hid behind the barricade, and Glace proceeded across the room to the other corridor, when a zombie jumped the barricade, land on Glace and slashed him down his torso with it's energy sword.
It began a scream of victory but got pumped with lead.
They all stood there guns aimed at the motionless corps of the zombie, Rodrigez scared stiff, was just crouched there, sitting, starring, horrified.
Lay's voice broke the silence, "The bastards dead"
For the first time Rodrigez talked, he looked at General Chez and said "Wh-wha-What do w-we do no-now"
Chez looked at him, his red Hayubasa helmet with it's stern look, it scared Rodrigez.
"We fight to our doom", That sentence scared Rodrigez even more.
Chez's computer let out a noise, the download was complete. Chez pulled the chip out and said "Let's call in those hornets!"
"Finally" sighed Ironwedge
Chez picked up the radio and...<BANG!> a loud gun shot rang out...
The bullet drove through the metal of the helmet and through it's victim's skull.
Chez was dead before he hit the ground.
Everybody stopped shooting, the zombie's bullets were still belting the wall and blockade, but no one noticed.

Rusejambon ,the yellow elite, walked up to the corps, the others followed, he did a signal with is 4 fingered hand to go back and commence shooting again, and they did. Ruse shook Chez, breathing heavily, he let go of the corps.
Lay was watching and broke the wordless silence by saying, very lightly "Sh*t"
Ruse picked up the radio, pressed the talk button, and began his distress call...
Enjoy!

Whoa, nice. I like it, I like it a lot. Good characters, good descriptions, a few grammar errors here and there but I'll overlook that. One thing, though: when does it happen? With all those spartans and elites fighting together, it should be some years after Halo 3, but they call the Flood zombies, inferring that they have no idea what they are, as the Flood are not zombies, as they can run, jump, use weapons.

But very good nonetheless.

Well I'm glad one person liked it.

Here's Chapter 2. and Plasmoid this doesn't really tie into the halo timeline, and the zombies aren't flood there just like the zombies in The Infection game.


Mission 2: Construct: part 2

Hidden/Spoiler:
The engines roared, the tapping of heavy boots on steel floors, a voice and the noise of tapping on glass. "Come on Major McCaw, lets go", then the cackling of the radio.
A very stern but static voice came through. " WE NE-EED EVAC, GEN-ERA-L CHEZ IS DEAD I RE-PEAT GENERAL CHEZ IS DE-AD, WE NEED EVAC ASAP!" and the radio fizzled out.
McCaw woke from his slumber, straightened out his hornet's seat and heaved his brown and green armored body to the controls. He spoke through his MarkVI helmet. "I copy sendin' the hornets right away."
He then started up his hornet and was followed by 2 more, they left the hanger and proceeded on their rescue.

"WOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEE! This is FUN!" Din screamed. "Even in the heat of a battle, you make me smile, Din" Lime said cheerfully.
"I gotta shoot both of you on the spot" said Lay, shaking his head. "Eh, leave one for me" Watt piped in.
Ruse looked at all of them, a very stern, soulless look. "Guys, quit the socializing and shoot the zombies, Chez is dead, this ain't time for chitchat."
All at once, they popped up and shot. Blasting away about 5 zombies. Rodrigez's bullets went everywhere doing little damage, while Ironwedge took two out with one burst from his Battle Rifle. Ironwedge had the best shot, and they all knew it.

A rocket flew over their heads.
"WE'VE GOT LAUNCHERS!" screamed Ironwedge, as another rocket flew over their heads.
Watt sighed "Ah, great first a scoper, then launchers, all we need now is a..."
"WAKER!" Lay finished Watt's sentence with a scream. Sure enough there was a waker. A purple-blue lighting shield engulfed his body. Grasping his gravity hammer he walk towards the barricade. Luckily he moved slow, really slow. So the still had time but when he reached the barricade they were doomed.
Ruse's mind was pacing, he looked around franticly, he wasn't scared but he feared for his squad. Another rocket hit th back wall. Ruse's ears ringed, he looked around quickly and everything was blurred. Then the idea stuck him. "Watt" he ordered "Move back, and snipe out those launchers", it was a risky move because he was more vulnerable back there but it was their only chance.
Watt did what he was told.
"Dindin" Ruse ordered "Get the biggest explosive device you have and constrait on that waker!"
"Lime, Lay, Iron, and Rodrigez clear out some of the swarm"
"On it!" announced Ironwedge while lighting up a plasma grenade.

Now the battle was hellfire. They were all taking out certain parts of the infected army, but they kept coming and that waker wasn't even flinching.
There was a hovering noise like when an air conditioner turns on. All of a sudden a hornet flew up to the side of the long over hanging bridge.
That was a relief. But there was only one hornet, they needed at least three.
The pilot opened his cockpit's window and yelled "C'mon, we ran into trouble on the way here, and lost a hornet"
Ruse signaled an elite and 2 spartans to the hornet. "Where's McCaw?" questioned Ruse.
The pilot replied, "Like I said we ran into trouble, the zombies got hold of some banshees, McCaw was fighting them off when he told me to go on without him. He should be coming along soon."
"Fine" sighed Ruse "Rodrigez, you're next, hop aboard that hornet, Lime, you keep lookout at the end of the bridge."
"Aye-Aye" said Lime following Rodrigez out on to the bridge.
"CRAP, WE GOT MORE LAUNCHERS!" Din screamed
A launcher fired a rocket which went over the barricade and exploding on the bridge, right at Lime's and Rodrigez's feet.
The two limp bodies went flying over the edge, twirling, twirling, twirling, gone.
Lay ran to the edge of the bridge. "LIME! LIME! LIIIIIIIIIIIIME!" He hit the side of the bridge "Diet Dr. Pepper Lime! Diet Dr. Pepper!"
Ruse ran up to Lay, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and through him towards the hornet. "GET ON THE HORNET!"
"NO!" Lay cried, "I'M FIGHTING!"
Ruse pushed him back to the hornet, "We don't need more deaths" He said this almost in a whisper. He then turned quickly and went back to the barricade.
The hornet took off and Lay went with it.

When Ruse returned to the barricade Dindin was worried, "There's too many of them" he said with no joy in his voice.
Ruse looked at the three soldiers left. They were all tired and awe struck.
Ruse nodded, "Your right Din, we just need to wait for Mc..."
A loud screeching noise was heard and a hornet (one propeller in flames) slid across the bridge.
McCaw opened his cockpit, "Did someone call for a hornet?"
Ruse turned to Dindin and Ironwedge and jerked his head towards the hornet.
They got the signal and ran for the hornet, Ruse followed and pushed Watt towards the hornet with such force, he droped his sniper. Ruse picked it up.
"GO NOW!" ordered Ruse
"BUT HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET OUTTA HERE?" asked McCaw
"JUST GO!"
"BUT.."
"NOW!"
The propellers began to spin and the hornet started to hover.
Ruse zoomed in with the sniper, "This is for Chez." he murmured
He pulled the trigger and the scoper fell with a thud.
McCaw's hornet was off the bridge, it was beginning to accelerate.
Ruse ran, to the side of the bridge and jumped off.
The elite hauled himself up from the hanging position he was in. "What a jumped" Watt said, shaking his head in an impressed motion.
Even as the hornet flew away from the facility, you could hear the screams of zombies and the gravity hammer hitting the ground from the enraged waker.

A foot was rested on top of Chez's corpse. "So we finally meet, General" said a low, gruesome voice which was followed by evil laughing.

Ruse's headset cackled inside his helmet and Lay's voice rang in. "So what do we do now, General?"
Enjoy!

Sniffle* I relased my first chapter and nobody even posted :cry:
Anywho, nice story, It'd be cool if you can re-enact the story with screenies from H3 since most of what your writing is in the game's limits.

I decided to continue this so here is Chapter 3

I also decided not to do this within the game's limits, so there can be more action.

Mission 3: Valhalla

Hidden/Spoiler:
The 2 hornets set down on a small beach which rose up to a grassy plain. In front of them was a giant metal structure, It had a opening that went down to the basement.
The eight passengers jumped off the sides of the hornets. The one in good condition left, But McCaw's needed repairs so he had to wait.
A Spartan with the exact same colors as Lay came out of the structure's basement. He wore Mark VI armor.
"Well what do you know? Rusejambon!" said the spartan
He walked casually to the elite with his arms wide open.
"Jumper!" Ruse said, the first joy in his voice since a while. "How have you been?"
"Ah, same old, same old." Jumper replied. "Where's the general?"
"Well..." Ruse began "Apparently, your looking at him"
"Wow, you really have moved up, I'm still just a major" Jumper said. He then made a C with his hand and put it around his mouth piece. He then jerked his thumb towards Lay and asked "Who's the clone" in a very loud whisper.
"Your the clone! You look as useless as one!" Lay snarled
"I'm sorry if I'm breaking something up" McCaw broke in "But, ah could you uh get someone to fix up my uh hornet, here?"
"Ya sure" Jumper then yelled down to the basement "We Need Maintenance!"
An elite and a spartan ran out and started working on the hornet.

When they were done McCaw tried the hornet. "Works like a charm" he said
"Oh ya, By the way..." Jumper began "Lookey what we found!"
He then ran up to a Scorpion tank, parked beside the Structure.
Jumper climbed on top of it and proceeded to show off.
Then there was a very faint sucking noise, and the Scorpion burst in to flames, incinerating Jumper with it.
Ruse was shocked, but it was the second sound of an explosion that threw him out of the trance.
He turned to see the hornet, that McCaw was in, bloom into a fiery flower.
He couldn't move, two of his best comrades, destroyed in seconds.
A Gunnery Sergent came out of the structure. "IN HERE!" he yelled
Ironwedge took the 2 Elites and 3 Spartans to the front of the structure to fight off the infection, while Lay, Dindin, Watt, and Ruse followed the Sergent into the basement.

"General!" the Sergent began "I'll explain the battle plan, your squad mates can go join Corporal Chipper over there. Ruse waved them off.
"And who might you be?" Ruse asked. "I am Sergent Cabbage" he replied. Cabbage started to explain the plan. Ruse listened attentively.
On the other side of the basement Lay, Watt and Dindin talked with a corporal.

"Hi, you guys must be the Majors of Alpha Squad" The Corporal said
"Commanders" Lay replied "We've been promoted"
"Lucky, I'm still at the bottom of the ladder, By the Way I'm Corporal Birch"
Birch wore all Mark VI armor, colored a dull cream and beige.
"Me and Cabbage over there have been instructed to escort you safely." he said
"Oh, we don't need escorts, but will be happy to escort you" Lay replied
"I'm sorry Commander, but I'm just following orders" Birch said regretfully
"Well, guess what your following our orders now, Birch" Lay growled, his visor just centimeters from Birch's.
Watt and Dindin snickered behind Lay.

"Men form up..." Ruse announced "Here's the plan we're making a convoy, All we have is a Warthog, a mongoose and 2 ghosts"
Ironwedge walked into the basement, "Their dead" he announced.
"The Zombies?" Cabbage asked
"Yup, and the men you sent up with me, but don't worry you'll probably be there with them soon, and your friend too" Ironwedge replied and motioned to Birch.
"Anyways, Our destination is a Building similar to this one across this gully. We have information that there's a teleporter there, that can get us out of this hellhole, and return to a UNSC base." Ruse continued
"I will be driving the Warthog at the front of the convoy.."
"What!" Cabbage interrupted "We didn't agree to this!"
"I don't need to agree to anything with you, Sergent" Ruse replied softly
"NO! I am escorting you, and I WILL NOT LET YOU DRIVE THAT LEADING WARTHOG" he screamed.

***

The Warthog cleared the gap over the river and landed with a loud thud on the adjacent piece of land.
"I love driving" Lay said
"Ya well I love finding loop holes" Ruse said in the Warthog's passenger seat.
Cabbage scowled, he was in the machine gun turret of the warthog.
Behind them Ironwedge drove the mongoose with Dindin on the back with a rocket launcher. Behind them was Watt and Birch in the two ghosts.
The convoy came to a halt on the peak of a hill. The building was in sight, a clear path, but it seemed to easy. To the right a cliff with the river at the bottom, to the right a indent in the gully's side, with a crashed Pelican. Ruse studied the Pelican.
Cabbage noticed Ruse's examination and said "Flight 756"
"What?"
"Crashed 2 weeks ago, A small group from Base 1 came to investigate it" He paused "When I arrived it was on fire, corpses scattered the crash sight, there were two survivors, but we were to late, one had a seizure and died on arrival the other one crawled out of the wreckage, his legs crushed. He whispered 'Help me'. his armor then turned balck and pale green he started screeching, a zombie got him, I shut my eyes pulled out my magnum and fired at him, killing him instantly"
He paused again "The zombies infected the rest of the corpses and then proceeded an attack on Base 2, the one were heading for"
"So, your saying it's an up hill fight?" Ruse questioned
"Yup, and be warned this gully is infested with zombies, there are so many hiding spots, you don't see them but they sure as hell see you"
"Well then we should keep moving"
The convoy started again, slowly they proceeded down the hill, they were in enemy territory now.
There was a crushing sound, they turned to witness a zombie clawing the top of Birch's ghost. Birch drove the ghost in circles firing the plasma cannons on the front of it, another zombie jumped down from a tree onto the back of the ghost, there were now zombies surrounding the convoy, everyone human, alien and zombie open fired.
The zombie on the back of Birch's ghost grabbed him and threw him off, his limp body hit a boulder and he lay there unconscious. The zombies then drove the ghost into Birch's unconscious body crushing him and killing him in a plasmic explosion of purple and blue fire.
The two zombies emerged from the ghosts' wreckage screaming. Dindin immediately fired a rocket into the smoke, exploding the two zombies and Birch's corpse.
Across form the wreckage a zombie ripped the front plating of Watt's ghost off and clawed it's way up to the cockpit. Watt pulled his Mauler from the ghost's weapon holder and blew the zombie's head off while yelling "GO BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG DOUCHEBAG!"

"GO!" barked Cabbage "WE CAN FIGHT THESE Diet Dr. Pepper THINGS TILL THE SUN GOES DOWN AND WE'LL STILL BE OUT NUMBERED! SO JUST DRIVE!"
Lay smashed the accelerate pedal with his foot and the convoy was off at full speed. A zombie jumped in front of the warthog just to be exploded into chunks. He was ripped in two and his torso was shredded in the Warthog's grill. His green oozing blood splattered across the windshield and Lay let out a hardy laugh.
"This squad is ruthless." Cabbage remarked
Ironwedge came in over the headset mic and said cheerfully "And that's why were the best."

The convoy came to a halt at the building side.
"LAST STOP EVERYBODY OUT!" Dindin announced
"Shhhhhh, this building is a zombie haven, were screwed if they find out were here" Cabbage whispered
Something hit Lay on the top of head.
"So do you think they know were here?" asked Watt
Lay was hit on the head again. "Quit it" he ordered
No one was listening to Lay. He turned around and looked up at the wall behind him.
"I don't think they know were here yet" Cabbage replied
"Oh yes they do..." Lay interrupted
There clinging to the wall, about 25 feet above them was a Spartan, his armor was black and a heavy amount drool was dripping out of his helmet.
He lunged landing in the middle of them and started screeching a high pithced screech, it was deafening, they couldn't move, it was so painful.
The zombie stopped and jumped at Cabbage, a loud Bang went off and the zombie landed with a thud. Smoke rose from the barrel of Ruse's shotgun. "Let's move!" he ordered.
The group of soldiers moved to the main floor of the building, it had no roof. Zombie s were climbing the walls on the outside and jumping from the tower down on to the main floor.
"The teleporter's in the basement" Cabbage said.
Ruse looked at Watt and Ironwedge "You two clear out the basement"
Cabbage looked at Ruse "We must hurry."
"I know" Ruse replied
Lay pulled out 2 magnums and was plating away the zombies, Dindin had a flamethrower and was just spurting flames everywhere. Ruse had his shotgun and Cabbage had an Assault Rifle.
A zombie snuck up behind Dindin, Ruse ran up to it and snapped it's neck. While Ruse was vulnerable another zombie hit him in the back of the leg with a spiker.
Ruse crumbled and let out an Elite cry. The zombie stood over Ruse with it's spiker, but then Lay jumped Ruse's gimp body smashed his magnum's barrels through the zombies helmet visor and fired. Two holes appeared in the back of the zombie's helmet, draining all the green liquid in it's head out the holes.
Lay then picked Ruse up and carried him into the basement, Cabbage followed shooting down the pressing zombies. Dindin the went into the basement lighting the door way on fire behind him.
Watt ran up to Lay "All clear" he announced
"Good, now...LETS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" He screamed
Loud footsteps were heard, a dark figure came into view through the flaming entrance. "GO!" Lay screamed
Watt and Ironwedge went through the teleporter.
An infected Elite walked through the flaming doorway as if the flames weren't there. He ignited his Energy sword, and let out an Elite battle cry.
"GO!" Screamed Cabbage "I'll fight him off, just save the General!"
"No, were all coming out alive." Lay hollered
"My mission was to escort you to safety, not to live so go!" Cabbage pointed his Assault Rifle at Lay, Dindin and Ruse"Now!"
Lay and Dindin looked at each other and then sighed, "Fine" Lay sighed, he grabbed Ruse's arm and Dindin grabbed the other and they pulled him through the teleporter.
Cabbage turned to the Elite "Just you and me now b*tch." He whispered
The Elite let out another cry, and charged.
Cabbage pulled the pin out of a frag grenade and threw it at his feet.
The frag exploded, collapsing the floor above him, and burying him, the zombie and the teleporter in a giant pile of rubble.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the comment Shadow. I know I'm not a good writer, I just do it cause at the time the idea came into my head. I actually have no time to write stories or mod, but I try to do it when ever I get on the computer, which is barley ever, but whenever I continue this, I'll keep it in mind.

Hey Guys I'm back, And I was bored so here are 2 more chapters to my epic story :wink:


Mission 4: The Pit
Hidden/Spoiler:
The humming stopped. Lay and Dindin pulled Ruse's limp body out of the teleporter
Lay looked around, "Where the hell are we?"
"Dam if I know..." Din replied.

Suddenly Watt appeared. "Were some lucky S.O.Bs aren't we?"
Lay looked at him. “Why?"
"We teleported into a base..."
"No sh*t! We knew that from the start of the mission" Lay replied.
"I know, I know" Watt stuttered "But this base has a medical bay for Ruse, and Ironwedge has taken command of the base, also they haven't spotted a zombie around this base for ages, so I think were safe here."
Din replied before Lay could, "Shut up, man! Your gonna jinx us..."
The intercom came on. Ironwedge spoke, "Alpha Squad, come to the command center immediately, there's..." he exhaled "there's something on the radar."
The three looked at each other.
"Sh*t!"
"Oh, C'mon!"
"God Diet Dr. Pepper!"

Watt looked at them. "Well, I better go. I'll meet you two at command." he began to walk away but stopped. "Is he conscious?"
Lay looked down at Ruse, "No, I don't think so."
Ruse mumbled something then vomited.
Lay grabbed Ruse's head and lifted up, "C'mon, don't give in, c'mon." he whispered.
Din looked at Lay, "He'll be fine, trust me."
Lay looked at Ruse, "I know, I know" he sighed.
The two then lifted Ruse up and carried his limp body down the dark hallway leaving a small trail of blood behind them.

He felt his torso, but felt nothing. He looked at his hands and they were stained with blood. A dark figure with a fiery blue heart stood over him and he began to fall. He fell faster and faster. The sun was bright and the wind was so powerful he couldn't open his eyes. Sand hit his face with such force it stung. It was a joyous yet terrible feeling but it didn't matter because it would all be over soon.

Ruse woke up screaming. He was in a steel room. It was clean, too clean. He tried to get out of his cot but he couldn't move his leg.
A spartan walked in, "I see, or heard you woke up." He chuckled. He was gray and white and wearing E.O.D armor.
Ruse looked at him. "Not to be rude, but who the hell are you and where the hell am I?"
The spartan chuckled, "I see the anesthetic makes you fussy" he chuckled again "I'm Dr.Silvercloud and I'm the one who stitched your leg up."
Ruse looked at his leg, "What happened to my leg?"
Silvercloud chuckled "Oh, you had a severe laceration on the back of your knee, you'll be unable to move for a while but in a couple hours you should be up and running like normal." he chuckled again, "Oh, yes I also found a parasitic substance in your wound, it was infecting your tissue cells, it might have came off of the blade of your attacker's weapon, sort of like an arrow dipped in poison"
Ruse swayed his head back and forth and fell back into his cot, "Where are my friends... I mean my squad?"
The doctor chuckled, "Oh, you have a very loyal squad, they carried you here. They were called to the command center, something about a radar, maybe?"
Ruse froze, "Zombies..." he hissed, he stared into nothing while he said it.
Silvercloud looked at him, and chuckled, "There's the anesthetic talking." he chuckled again "No, infected specimens have been seen around this base for quite some, I think were safe." He began to chuckle but was cut off by Ruse.
"No, there are zombies in the is base and I know it, and now matter how hard or how many times you chuckle, they ain't going away!" The anesthetic had fully worn off now.
They stared at each other for a few seconds when the sounds of gun shots broke their gaze.

Suddenly, green claws ripped between the steel doors and began pushing them apart.
Silvercloud reached for his magnum under his desk, and whispered "Oh god..."
The zombie now had enough room to fit his arms in.
Ruse tried to stand up but fell off his cot. He began to crawl towards the doctor. He was terrified, but he didn't show it. He was defenseless and injured. It was his worst nightmare.
The zombie could now fit his head and torso in through the doors, in a few more seconds he would have the doors into their locked positions and a clear attack at the doctor and Ruse.
Ruse looked at the doctor then at the magnum, "SHOOT!" he screamed, but Silvercloud just stood there. Petrified.
There was a snapping sound and the zombie hit the ground with a thud. The steel doors then slammed shut cutting the zombie in two at the waist.
The doors opened and Lay walked in, he looked at the zombies corpse, kicked its head and said "To bad you had to split..." he then looked at Ruse and Silvercloud and said "Hey, how ya feeling dumb*ss?"
Ruse snorted and shook his head, "Fine, you?"
"Oh, same old, same old, Killin' zombies, savin' your sorry *ss, killin' some more zombies."
The doctor fell back into his chair, "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me..."
"Fear, maybe?" Ruse said sarcastically
Lay looked at Silvercloud's magnum, and started yelling, "There isn't even any bullets in that gun! Even if you did shoot nothin' would'a happened! If you didn't shoot you would'a still died! Either way without me you guys were f*cked!"
"Calm down." Ruse said quietly.

Ironwedge came into the medical bay. "Doctor, Lay, Ruse" He nodded after saying each name.
"Uh, General, I was checking the radio trackers we planted on the last two missions and uh, it seems that we uh, might of left someone behind, on the metal structure, you know the one where we lost General Chez."
Ruse looked at him, "But we were the last survivors of that structures."
"Well it seems we added one to many to our death toll."
Mission 5: Construct Part 3

Hidden/Spoiler:
The hornet touched down on the steel floor, and Ruse, Ironwedge and Lay jumped off.
"Listen, I want this to be short and sweet, we go in find the survivor and get out, got it?"
"SIR, YES SIR!" Ironwedge replied.
Lay looked at him, "Quit that sh*t."
"Ya, I don't put my life before any of my men's and I don't consider my self anymore important either." Ruse added.

Gunshots were heard, "I think we found our survivor."
They turned a corner to see a spartan huddled, holding his assault rifle close to his chest, there were a few zombie corpses surrounding him and green ooze everywhere. There was a motionless spartan body behind the spartan.
The spartan turned to them and pointed his gun at them, he paused and lowered it and began to sob.
Ruse walked over and crouched next to him and quietly said "Rodrigez?"
The spartan looked up and handed Ruse some I.D tags, “Lime told me to give you these before..." he shook a little "Before he died."
Ruse looked at the motionless body of Lime. His green and pink armor had faded, with dried blood leaking out of the cracks. His visor was cracked and he was also missing a foot.
Rodrigez looked at the corpse and said "They took it while I slept, his foot, I woke up and they ran." he whimpered "I was so close to killing myself, but Lime saved my life when my squad was attack so I decided to protect him...even though he was gone."

Ruse stood up, "C'mon were leaving here."
Rodrigez looked up and said "Wh...What about Lime?"
Ruse said softly, "He's gone now, I'm sorry, but we can't transport his body, he was a brave soldier and died in honor."
Rodrigez bent down and but his hand on Lime's chest and whispered "Thank you. you saved my life, but I couldn't save yours..." He inhaled "I'm sorry, but I'll avenge you. I'll never forget you and what you did for me, goodbye Captain, it was an honor."
He stood back up, Ruse was on the radio talking with UNSC HQ. "Yes, we have private, er should I say newly promoted Sergeant Rodrigez, requesting ride for him back to HQ, he's been through a lot."
"Roger that! Oh and General, would your Squad be willing to scout out a recently discover area? We have gotten Intel that it might serve as a good base setup. But we need it to be Scouted."
"Yes, We'll accept just send a hornet to Base 427 to pick up Commander Watt and Commander Dindin to meet us at the rally." Ruse replied
"Roger, over and out."

A zombie screamed echoed in the empty metal structure.
Ruse, looked at the rest of them, "Ok, men, let's get out of here."
Enjoy!

My story isn't getting that many readers, but I enjoy making it so I'll keep going.

Mission 6: High Ground
Hidden/Spoiler:
The hornets flew into the bright horizon.
"I've always liked beaches" Din said letting sand sift through his hands.
The five members of alpha squad were at the base of a hill. It was a sandy beach; there was a small ledge along the rock cliff and boulders along the ground next to it. There was some light brush and broken walls. At the top of the wall there was a bunker and then fortress. Its main gates were shut, but the hole in the bunker's side was going to provide them entrance.
Watt looked at the ledge, "I found my resting spot!" he chuckled and began to sprint for the ledge.
"Wait!" Ruse ordered. He looked at the five of them, Lay, Din, Ironwedge and Watt. "I'm getting a bad feeling about this place, so I want you to think about this. Why do think the UNSC would put a General, a Colonel, and three Commanders in a squad?" Lay began to respond but Ruse continued "You guys should be commanding your own squads. Now, the reason they put us five in one squad is because, we are some of the best in the UNSC. When the sh*t hits the fan, they send in Alpha Squad. General Chez, hand picked us as his squad, now your my squad and the UNSC didn't split us up because we get the job done. We do the suicide missions, we do the rescue missions and were gonna go into this mission as Alpha Squad and come out of this mission as Alpha Squad. All five of us. Understood?"
"Hell ya!"
"Yup!"
"All The Way!"
"Let's kick some Diet Dr. Pepper!"
Ruse stood tall "Now, I haven't been much of a leader so far, so I think that wasn't so bad for a motivational speech." He turned to Watt "Now on to business, Watt take that ledge, you already claimed it, you're gonna cover us, no hesitation, if you see a zombie, blow its brains out!"
"Oh, Yeah!" Watt grabbed the sniper off his back and loaded it.
"Rest of you follow me." Ruse ordered.

They walked up the beach to the bunker. There were two choppers to the right of the bunker and a prowler next to the wall of the factory where a pipe stuck out. They looked into the hole in the wall.
Lay let out a whistle, "Din, you never told us you were here before."
Din looked at the wall "I like exploding stuff, but I don't think even I could have done this..."
Ruse looked the wall over and then into the shady bunker, "On second thought, if were dealing with stuff that can to this to solid concrete I want Lay to stay out here with Watt."
Lay smirked "Yah, I'll protect the *sshole."
There helmet com came on, "I can still here you!" Watt exclaimed.
"Well then I guess you heard I'm staying out here with you." Lay replied "I kill anything that comes out and you just sit there nice and pretty make sure nothin tries to butt rape me. Got it?"
"Oh, F*ck you!" Watt hollered "I’ll snipe them before they even get in arms length of you. So just sit there and watch the show."
Ironwedge and Din snickered
Ruse sighed and shook his head, "Din, Iron, let's go..."

They entered the bunker; Lay stood outside and in a girly voice said "Goodbye, We'll miss you!"
Din flicked him the finger before they went around the corner.
They heard a gun shot, and their helmet com came on, "You missed you Diet Dr. Pepper!" Lay laughed.
"It's called a Warning shot." Watt growled "Next one's in your leg, then your head!"
Ruse spoke into the com, "Watt, Lay isn't worth wasting three bullets."
Watt laughed, Lay replied with "Oh, Very Funny you son of a..." Ruse turned his helmet com off. "I don't need to listen to them, they give me a headache."
"They need to grow up." Ironwedge spoke for the first time this mission.
"You need to lighten up." Din said while smacking Iron in the back of the head, "Were in the middle of a war. If having some fun means we don't kill each other or ourselves from stress then we need to fool around once and a while, tell a joke maybe. Right boss?"
Ruse shifted his head slightly "Guess so, Din."
"I'm just saying were dealing with deadly weapons, fighting deadly...uh, things that wanna kill us!" Ironwedge argued
"I ain't saying your wrong; you just need to lighten up a bit. Here, tell us a joke!"
Ironwedge was getting angry, "OK!" He snarled "Why did the zombies have a five-man feast?"
"Why?"
"Cause, Watt and Lay, were f*ckin' around!"
"Aw, they ain't funny, man." Din said in disgust.
"But, it might be true." Ruse added
"Hey, we haven't seen any zombies yet!" Din replied cheerfully
"Yah, are we gonna get any action here?" Iron asked. He was calm now.
"You saw, what...Something did to that wall. So were gonna find Something." Ruse answered.

Although they didn't realize it, they had stopped in a room at the beginning of the conversation and were standing there for a while.
"So where we go now?" Din asked.
"Straight, I guess." Ruse said.

They kept walking until then ended up in a courtyard. There was a missile launcher in the center of it.
"What type of factory has a missile launcher in it?" Din said while looking at it awe struck.
"I thought this was a fortress or army base." Iron added.
Ruse looked around, "Might be both..." He then saw a shadowed entrance at the back of the base, "Let's check that out, follow behind me."

They entered the room cautiously. A stench filled the room, and the lungs of the soldiers.
Ironwedge covered his helmet vent, "Oh, god. You guys smell that?" he paused "It smells like, oh god, sh*t."
"OH, Ruse, how rude of you!" Din laughed
Ruse snarled, "Iron, please turn your helmet lights on..."
Two jets of light slightly illuminated the small room. Throughout the room (and only a few inches from them) were dozens of hunched black bundles. They breathed heavy breaths, and stirred a bit.
"And please turn you lights off." Ruse ended his sentence.
He motioned them out of the room. They backed out of the room and someone hit the light switch on the wall. The lights flickered on and the hunches became restless. One got up, an infected no doubt. A lanky Diet Dr. Pepper, skinny and a foot taller then the soldiers. His helmet went only to his top lip; his bottom jaw was completely visible. He opened his mouth to scream, it was full of rotting, blood stained teeth and a green snake-like tongue.
Ruse reacted quickly and shot the zombie in the face with his shotgun, killing him instantly. "RUN!" He screamed.

Watt sat on the ledge, scratching drawings into the rock with his large robotic-like finger. "He talked into his helmet com, "Think this place is a dud?"
Lay replied, "Yah, probably, but orders are orders so we get to sit here and wait until they come out, and say nothing was in here and that we wasted our time."
They suddenly heard a loud boom that shook their organs, Watt jumped up, "Maybe it's not a dud..."
"Maybe"

"OH! YAH! GREAT IDEA DIN! RUN INTO THE ROOM WITH THE WAKER!" Iron screamed while sprinting.
"HOW THE HECK WOULD I HAVE KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A WAKER IN THERE?! AT LEAST WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WALL!" Din replied also while sprinting
"JUST SHUT UP AND RUN!" Ruse roared.
They ran into a room and shut a steel door.
"That won't hold the waker." Iron said in between breaths.
Ruse looked around the room that they were in. There was some sort of pipe with an opening in it. "Quick, crawl into that pipe!" He ordered
They did and as they were told, they heard the scratching sounds of zombies at the door. Ruse turned on his helmet com, "Lay? You there?"
His voice came through, "What the hell was that shockwave?"
"Waker."
Now it was Watt's turn to join in, "WAKER!"
"Yes a Waker..." Ruse sighed "Be on your guard! While we were running, zombies were jumping out of every nook and cranny, so this place is overflowin' with zombies; luckily none of them have firearms from what I saw. Just watch out." Ruse turned his com off.
The door wouldn't last much longer, Ruse looked around, he was sweating, he thought of this being the end. It couldn't be the end. Could it? He then noticed the room they were in was a storage room, full of gas tanks. Ruse jumped out of the pipe grabbed a small propane tank and opened it he then made a trail of propane from a pile of gas tanks to inside the pipe.
He looked at the other two, "It's do or die time guys. Hand me your bullets and grenades."
They did as they were told and Ruse began to remove the gun powder from the ammunition, "Start moving further into the pipe."
They did. "Man, it stinks in here, oh what's this? OH GOD! That's why it stinks!" Iron pushed aside a rotting corpse in the pipe.
"AW, suck it up...and that's sick." Din said.
Ruse continued his trail of gunpowder until he ran out. "Iron, hand me a match."
"Will do!"
Ruse pulled out his emergency rope and they began crawling towards the opening of the tube. When he ran out of rope he lit the match and lit the rope on fire. They heard the sound of crushing steel and a zombie jumped into the pipe and began crawling after them.
"C'MON! GET OUT OF HERE!" He screamed at Iron and Din. They Jumped out of the pipe to where they began, the entrance of the base.

Watt zoomed in for the shot, and then spoke into his com, "LAY! They're out! They got out!"
The pipe then shot out an explosion of flames like a volcano.
"Oh, Sh*t" Watt whispered.
A prowler then sped out from behind a rock with Ironwedge, Dindin and Ruse on it. Ruse came in on the com "There are two choppers by the bunker; I highly suggest you guys get on them and leave now, were out of ammo so we got to go now!"
The gates of the fortress opened letting a flood of zombies out.
"I don't feel right leaving you two here." Ruse confessed
"Its fine, you guys get going, you’re out of ammo and we have plenty, we'll hold them off." Lay replied
Ruse sighed, "Fine, but here's our final gift." The prowler spun around and boosted toward the zombie horde. It ripped through them, impaling everyone with its bumper spikes. They then tail-whipped around and sped off towards the ocean. Luckily with the advanced technology, the hovering prowler could "drive" on water.
As they sped away, Watt spoke into the com, "I don't know how you do it Rusejambon." He said cheerfully.

The wave of zombies flooded towards Lay. He pulled out his mauler, a slit a zombie's throat as it ran at him; he then turned and crippled another's leg, with its powerful shot. A zombie came from behind him smacked him, resulting in Lay dropping his mauler. He then recovered pulled his magnum out and put a bullet in between the eyes of his attacker.
Watt came in on the com, "They are now all focused on you. Your Mr. Popular!"
"Haha, very fu...SH*T! I'm runnin' low on ammo! Wanna head for those choppers?" Lay asked
"Yah, I'll cover you." Watt replied.
Lay hit a zombie in the head with the butt of his magnum, implanting the empty ammo cartridge in its skull. The zombie squealed as it died. Zombies dropped around him because of the constant firing of Watt's sniper. Shot after shot, zombies dropped.
Lay turned to signal Watt to the choppers only to see a large dark figure behind Watt. The thing was not a waker but still wielded a gravity hammer of some sort. Watt was completely on aware of this. The creature raised his weapon and brought it down on Watt's back, breaking his spine and neck instantly. If that did not kill him, the force from the blow threw him of the ledge sending him into several boulders, in which on impact would end in death.

Lay screamed, "WATTTTTT!” he then spun around and stuck an active grenade into the armor of a zombie. After that he kicked the zombie into the horde. The explosion killed many of the infected beings.
He then turned towards the choppers. There before him stood the creature with its hammer high above his head. Before Lay could react, the hammer had come down in a deadly arc.
Enjoy!

Sorry man, I would read it all if I had more time, although from the chunks I've read/skimmed over, it looks pretty good :thumbs:

Thanks

Also I added vocabulary for people who don't understand some of the Halo vehicles, weapons etc. I also moved the pics to the first post and added a dead list (contains spoilers if the story isn't read from the beginning) Also I hid all the chapters so you won't have to scroll a bunch.

Anyways Chapter 7.
Mission 7: Epitaph
Hidden/Spoiler:
The prowler drifted slowly in the ocean.
"Can this thing run out of gas or whatever it runs on?" Iron asked "Cause if it does and the hovering stops, we sink."
"I don't know." Ruse said.
They were all exhausted they had been drifting for hours. The prowler stopped abruptly. They hit a coral reef and also stuck on the coral reef was an abandoned teleporter.
"Hey, Look! A teleporter!" Din exclaimed
They all jumped out of the prowler and were shin deep in sea water. "Should we go through it?" Din asked
"No! No way! Hell NO!" Iron barked "You never go in an unmarked teleporter. Who knows where you'll end up, or if you'll end up in one piece. Remember that rumor about the guy who went through the broken teleporter and came out in 3 pieces?"
"Fine, Iron We'll wait on this reef, hungry, thirsty, exhausted, with the sun beating down on us, until someone rescues us." Ruse said while turning away from Iron, he then nodded to Din.
"Exactly! Because we don't know whe..." Iron began but was stopped because Din pushed him into the teleporter. Ruse and Din then walked in after him.

Iron hit the futuristic floor with a loud thud. The two elites walked out of the teleporter calmly after him.
Din looked at Iron, "You know what was wrong about your rumor? It was a rumor."
Ironwedge scowled and got up. "You guys suck!"

They were in an enormous room. It was a giant hallway that was intercepted by another giant hallway. There were ledges on both sides of the hallways. You could reach the ledges by various gravity lifts. The walls were steel and the windows were dark blue. The floors were glass but were black underneath. There were various signs implanted into the floor. There were teal holograms that jut out of each ledge and at the end of one of the hallways there was a shrine of some sort with a giant golden hologram of a strange star.
They were astonished by this place a solemn but pleasant feeling filled their souls. It seemed if the walls were chanting and humming a holy song like a choir would. The serene presence was then ended by a single greeting.
"Oh, if it isn't Colonel Rusejambon." a voice said with a British accent.
Ruse cringed at the sound of this voice. He turned around to face the speaker; he looked him in the eye. "Brigadier MackBoy, how nice..."
The blue spartan stood there just far enough away from the wall so he wouldn't be covered by the corner. He had a Scout helmet on and Ninja-like shoulder guards called Hayubasa. Only someone as stuck up and self-centered as him would want to wear such ridiculous armor.
His two guards stood beside him, one was White and blue with a Mark V helmet and the other was a dark blue and teal colored spartan. He wore a mix-match of Mark VI and C.Q.B armor.

"Hmmm, you seem to be low in numbers. Walking around this wasted world with a Spartan and..." He made a noticeable disgusted sound "an elite."
Ruse tried to be nice, "But Mack, you only have two soldiers as well."
"Yes" Mack hummed "You see, Davis" (He motioned to the white spartan) "and Igloo" (He motioned to the dark blue spartan) "are highly trained. They are both Colonels. I know it's unnecessary to have three highly skilled soldiers in one group but when you have a rank as high as I do, the UNSC tends to do what you want." He chuckled "But you wouldn't understand that now, would you Colonel?"
"GENERAL!" Din growled
It caught MackBoy off guard, "What did you say?" he asked as if he didn't hear what Din said
Iron stepped up, "He said that Rusejambon has been appointed the rank of General upon the death of General Chez."
'WHAT!" MackBoy roared "I WAS NEXT IN LINE!"
Din raised his head in enjoyment, "There's no need for a line when the General hand picks you."
MackBoy screamed and growled, "SHUT UP, YOU SLIMLY SALAMANDER MUTANT SPAWN OF HELL!"
Din laughed even more, "Just call the UNSC if you got a problem."
MackBoy inhaled and exhaled deeply, "I'm sorry for that outrage. And we have no communication. Now let me show you around the waste bin."
"Waste bin?" Ironwedge exclaimed "This place is marvelous!"
"Yes, true, my fellow spartan, but, this is no place to stick three highly trained and experienced soldiers, there is no zombies here and never will be, you'll see what I mean during the tour.
Ruse spoke for the first time since the fight. "MackBoy, by any chance do you have a computer?"
"Yes, why?"
"Could I log in? I need to check on some of my squad mates."
"I'll sign in, just tell me their names." MackBoy ordered.
"Commander Lay and Commander Watt"
"Oh, those two. You mean the loud-mouthed swine and the one that could never sit still? Hardly soldiers if you ask me."
MackBoy typed in the names and their status and a digital animation of their armor rotating in a circle showed up. Two messages with red borders popped up immediately.
They Read:

! ALERT!

Name: Lay

Rank: Commander

Location: Unknown

STATUS: KIA

! ALERT!

Name: Watt

Rank: Commander

Location: Unknown

STATUS: KIA

"Hmmm, dead it seems, no surprise." MackBoy said smugly.

Ruse felt his soul fall out of him like a rock. He felt it hit the ground and shatter then burn into nothing.
He swung around and punched the steel wall leaving a dent. He stood their, his head against the wall. A loud “clunk" rang in his ears; he turned to see Ironwedge fall backwards into the wall and slouched into a blob with his head between his knees. Another sound was the indication that Dindin had dropped his weapon. He stood there whispering to himself "No, no, no, no, no"
MackBoy looked around, "I'll give you champs a minute to get yourselves together." He said this cheerfully as if this was payback for Ruse becoming General. He leaned back in his chair as if he had accomplished something.

***

"Again, I am dreadfully sorry about your friends."
"Nothing you can do, Mack" Ruse began "Were in a war, and people die. We can't change that."
"Right, right, well put Rusey!"

They exited the great room into the bright sun light.
"And this is why no zombies will ever reach this place" Mack announced

They were on a tower. Thousands of feet above a desert. There were walkways all along the outside of the tower, leading to different parts of the great room inside. They walked along the walkways until MackBoy said "Here we are!"
"Where are we?" Din questioned
"The end of the tour of course and the best part."
"What's so great?" Din replied
"That, my four fingered friend is a ticket off this tower." He put his hand on Dindin's shoulder and pointed. Din pushed MackBoy's arm of his shoulder. MackBoy stuttered "Uh, well yes. We have reason to believe there is a UNSC camp down there. More then likely a refugee for squads that have been separated or destroyed. It's hard to see from the dust clouds but on clear days you can make out soldiers and warthogs."
Ruse looked over the edge, "So how we get down there?"
"Well, see that’s the problem. As you already know we lack radio communication, and I don't think they will hear us at all. Honestly, we could scream our bloody lungs out and they wouldn't hear us." He chuckled "So that's where you gents come in."
Ruse (who was still looking over the edge of the railing) felt the hands of MackBoy on his back. It happened so quickly he heard Iron and Din scream and then he was flipped over the railing. Ruse was free falling thousands of feet above the earth. He swung around with his zero gravity weight to look back up at the tower. Ruse then had the pleasure to witness his two remaining squad mates be thrown over the railing as well.
The three bodies entered a sand cloud. The sand hit their bodies like whips, but they had no control over where they went. They just kept falling.
Quicker.
Faster.
Closer.
Doomed.
Enjoy!

Chapter 8.

I wrote this one so fast because this one and the next few chapters I have really planned out and I think they will turn out well and add to the story in a positive way.

Mission 8: Sandtrap

Hidden/Spoiler:
He stood on top of a cargo container in an old storing facility. A giant green snake slithered in through the roof and vomited green ooze full of decaying spartan and elite carcasses. The ooze filled the room and he watched as it drowned a lone spartan.

Ruse shuttered and awoke. In front of him, an inch or so from his face was a white spartan's Security helmet.

"Hi!" The spartan said delighted.
Ruse was stunned, "Who are you and where am I?" he said quickly.
The spartan began to answer but was distracted by an elite next to them. He was steel and orange colored and wore a flight helmet. "We have another one up." he announced in a rasping deep voice. The elite was standing over Dindin. Din sat up and in a quaky voice spoke, "Whoa, weren’t we just falling out of the sky like dead birds?"
The four soldiers then turned to face Ironwedge sitting up. With one hand he held his head, with the other he grabbed a hand full of sand, "Wow, heaven sure is sandy." He looked at the four soldiers "And there are elites in heaven too! Didn't see that coming!"
The white spartan laughed, "Oh, you're not in heaven. You're in our little camp. It ain't much but its home!"

Ruse finally started to look around at his surroundings. They were in an underground room, partially filled with sand. There was a tomb of some sort in the middle with computers on it. The room was full of spartans and elites, all castaways from their use-to-be squads. "So who's in charge?" Ruse asked
The White spartan turned to face him, he was huge, now that Ruse was aware of his surroundings. The white spartan stood taller then the others and was much more broad at the shoulders. His hands could pick a spartan up by the head and crush their skulls if he wanted to, all with one hand. "I guess I'm in charge for the moment." he reached to help Ruse up and practically threw him to his feet. "Sorry, I forget my size sometimes, I'm rather clumsy actually. Oh, by the way I'm Brigadier Snowball."
"Snowball?" Din giggled "It goes perfect with your buggy helmet."
"You really think my helmet is bug-like?" asked Snowball while feeling his helmet with his hands.
The steel elite picked up Din by the back of the neck and growled "Snowball could crush you in seconds, but he wouldn't. He's like a gentle giant, he doesn't even swear." He then looked at Ruse and held out his hand "Colonel Foxtrot." Ruse nodded he motioned to Ironwedge and Dindin and said "Colonel Ironwedge and Commander Dindin, and I'm General Rusejambon."
The whole room gasped and began to whisper. Snowball looked at him, "A general? Well welcome aboard to all. Now, Foxtrot introduced himself and I would introduce you to everyone but there is far too many."

A heavy South United states accented voice spoke out in the crowd. "Hey, what 'bout us?"
The crowd moved away from the speaker. A brown spartan leaned against the wall next to him was a purple spartan.
"No need to introduce them" Foxtrot snorted "They're just the warthog patrol leaders. Kind of useless when we only have three hogs and one is under maintenance."
The brown spartan spoke "I think we're more 'portant that you, you large useless lizard."
Foxtrot marched over and put his magnum to the brown spartans head, and growled in an eerie scratchy voice "What was that?"
Snowball casually lowered Foxtrot's arm and said softly "Now, Foxtrot if they want to be introduced then let them."
The brown spartan had to put in his comment, "Ya, Foxtrot, trot away, trot away foxy." He began to laugh than paused "Wait that sounded gay, dunnit?"
Snowball looked at Ruse, "General and friends this is Tex and Caramel"
"Howdy"
"Eh"
Iron looked at the purple spartan, "Eh? What are you Canadian?"
"Ya"
"Oh." Ironwedge lowered his head.

"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!" Din hollered "A few minutes ago we were falling from the sky like bird sh*t, now were here. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!"
Snowball glanced at him, "well, your friend over their radioed us and we used an old tractor beam we found a while ago to bring you in safely." He pointed into the crowd and it moved away to reveal MackBoy leaning against the wall with Davis and Igloo standing next to him, but there was a third new spartan in his clan. He was brown and red with C.Q.B and Scout armor.
"Hello Alpha squad! You really should be more carful where you step, I warned you up on that tower." MackBoy bragged.
Din walked forward, his massive elite hands squeezed into a fist, "You lying son of a b*tch. You said you had no communicat..." Ruse stopped him.
MackBoy jumped a little, "Uh, Yes, well done general. So you can control your squad. A good General trait, now just work on coordination in high places." The crowd of spartans laughed a little.
"Thank you for the advice Mack, I'll keep it in mind." Ruse nodded at him "Who's your new friend?" he asked while motioning to the brown spartan.
MackBoy smirked "He's a new addition to my squad. I guess you could say we adopted him. He's pilot Batwing."
Ruse trying to be friendly replied, "Well, I'm sure he'll make a nice addition."
Batwing turned his head away from Ruse and glanced at him through the side of his visor and snarled.
Ironwedge (who had been holding his battle rifle firmly throughout the whole conversation with MackBoy) whispered "F*ckin freak."
Din looked at Snowball, "Wait you have pilots...so that means you have hornets. Right?"
"Of course along with our three hogs we have three hornets and an emergency mongoose. How do you think we got MackBoy and his friends down of the tower if we didn't have hornets?"
Ruse stared at MackBoy, "Well we know they didn't jump..."
There was a moment of awkward yet tense silence. The silence was broken by a spartan that ran into the room. He was blue and steel colored with a C.Q.B helmet.
"Pilot Das." Snowball addressed him "What's the news?"
The pilot leaned over gasping for breath, "Scouts! East and West of us."
"Dam they're bringing out the quickies!" Foxtrot sighed.
Scouts (also known as "quickies") were the assassins of the zombie empire. They were scout areas and return to the infected armies. They ran like the wind and killed at that speed too, usually without being seen. They were one of the weakest zombie classes and were killed easily if you could catch them.
Snowball turned to Ruse, "Well, General this is now your camp; I am your servant now."
Ruse walked into the middle of the room. "MEN! ARM YOUR STATIONS!" A roar and cheer deafened the room. Ruse continued "Din, Iron and I will take a group to defend the West side. MackBoy, you and your squad take the east side."
MackBoy looked up, "What ever you say General." He said it with a hiss.
Ruse continued "Foxtrot, take a group and defend the ground between me and MackBoy. Tex! Caramel! You two take the two hogs and circle the perimeter of this area. Kill every zombie you see!"
"Well do, Gen'rul!"
Ruse nodded, "Das, you protect those hornets and Snowball try to contact any UNSC frigate or ship around this planet. Tell them we need EVAC now." he paused "This is going to be a massacre, I can feel it. So, grab your weapons, CAUSE THIS IS WAR!"

The room erupted again in a roar and cheer and the soldiers ran out of the room, roaring.
Ruse walked towards Din and Iron. Din patted him on the back, "You’re getting good at those speeches."
Enjoy!

I'm considering moving this story to more of a halo based forum just cause no one really seems interested at Gametoast (no offence) anyways Chapter 9.

Mission 9: Sandtrap Part 2

Hidden/Spoiler:
Din, Iron and Ruse walked into the dry air of the desert. They were astonished by what they saw. They were in a giant bowl of sand, around them were massive dunes. They then turned to look at the structure. It was ancient ruins. There was a walkway (witch was the roof of the rooms below) that angled down towards the sand. The first part of the walkway had pillars on each side that arced over it. It continued until it ended suddenly with a small gully. On the other side of the gully it continued. On the opposite side of the gully the ruins expanded into smaller walkways off the main one's side. These walkways reunited at the end of the main walkway making a hollow square.
"This place is huge!" exclaimed Din.
"Yah, we'll have to watch our backs." Ironwedge added.
"Yes we will" Ruse turned to the crowd of soldiers "IN POSITION!"
Foxtrot joined them, "General I told your group to meet you on the West side."
"Thank You Foxtrot. Good luck."
"You to General."

The three soldiers marched toward their rally. Din broke the silence, "Iron, Ruse, I have a bad feeling about this battle. So if one of us doesn't make it I just wanna say it's been an honor."
"Don't worry Din." Ruse assured him
"Yeah, we are the best of the best remember?" Iron added
Din sighed, "Yes, all five of us..."
They stopped walking. Ruse swung around and grabbed Din by the shoulder, "Out of all of us, including Watt and Lay, who has been injured the least?"
"Well..." Din hesitated
"You!" Ruse finished the sentence, "And out of your few injuries, how many have been bullet wounds?"
"None"
Iron spoke, "Din you're an explosive specialist, your live is working with bullets and explosions, believe me you're bullet proof."
"Ok, but what about you guys?" Din replied
"Do you really need to worry about us?" Iron said while pulling his battle rifle from his back holster.
They reached their group it was about thirty soldiers. Ruse pushed to the front of the group (from the looks of the group, it seemed he had the smallest in numbers). He looked into the horizon of dunes and saw a black wave marching towards them.
Din looked up at the sky and saw the very faint twinkle of some stars, he nudged Iron, "Man, it's daylight and there are stars in the sky."
Iron looked up, "Stars?"

The zombie wave reached the opposite ruins facing Foxtrot's group. "Aim!" he ordered.
A large zombie with a flag pushed his way to the front of the horde. It stood their, so did the horde facing their enemies so calmly. The flag zombie then screeched and waved the flag. In an instant the zombies jumped the gully onto the UNSC ruins. "FIRE! NO MERCY!" Foxtrot roared.

"This is UNSC Frigate 596, The Impression, who's sending this transmission and for what reason?" the voice came in with static.
"This is Brigadier Snowball, location unknown, requesting EVAC immediately."
"All right, Sir. What's your status?"
"We are currently fighting against an infected attack. We made a refugee base comprised of stranded soldiers from eliminated squads."
"Ok, Sir, Could you please describe your locat..." he stopped and a siren sound could be heard in the background.
"What's going on?" Snowball questioned
The speaker began to talk but not to Snowball, "What? How is that possible? WHAT! Can we do something? Fight? They took the armory!"
"What?" Snowball questioned again
"Infected! They brought banshees up into orbit and entered The Impression. They have already seized three quarters of the ship including the medical bay and the armory. If we are in orbit of your planet, which I assume, it must be hell, because the zombies are bold to attack a frigate. Good lu...What!" magnum shots were heard "NO! STAY BACK! AGRH!" More magnum shots "NO! NO! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the signal then fizzled out.
"Dang!" Snowball grunted and slammed the laptop shut. Das ran in "SIR!"
"What Das?" Snowball replied
"The zombies have drop pods and are bombarding our defense" Das said franticly
"OH NO! No, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Snowball grabbed his gun and sprinted out of the room.

"General, were taking heavy casualties!" Foxtrot said through the helmet com.
"On our way!" Ruse replied. He held his energy sword high and ordered "MEN! TO RALLY POINT B!" The group moved towards Foxtrot's position. A spartan was running next to Ruse, "So, you're the General?" he asked.
"Yes" Ruse replied
"Wow, what and honor. Me, fighting along side the general. I'm a lucky guy!" He turned his head to continue but was suddenly crushed by a drop pod, turning him into a mangled corpse. The drop pod's door was kicked off its hinges, sending it flying and killing another soldier. Ruse skidded to a halt and turned to see an infected elite begin to crawl out screaming. Ironwedge ran up and threw an active plasma grenade into the drop pod annihilating the zombie.
"THEY HAVE F*CKIN' DROP PODS?" Din screamed even though the answer was right in front of them.
When they arrived at Foxtrot's position they were greeted by a field of corpses, zombies and no allies.
Ruse ignited his energy sword and began the onslaught of the living dead.

Snowball stopped running as soon as he saw the ongoing battle. With his battle rifle in his hands, he scanned the battlefield.
Ahead he saw Foxtrot taking cover behind a pile of rubble. "SNOWBALL! ALL MY MEN ARE DEAD!" he screamed in his gruff voice. After saying this, a drop pod landed beside him engulfing him in a cloud of sand.
Snowball took a deep breath, gripped his gun and charged into the sand cloud.

This is the last chapter to be posted on Gametoast.

Mission 10: Sandtrap Part 3

Hidden/Spoiler:
The wheels spun in the sand making a dust cloud behind the warthog. It swerved side to side leaving dead zombies in its tracks.
Tex looked over his shoulder at Caramel who was operating the machine gun turret, "Your gun sorta sounds like a baby rattle."
"I know, eh? Like a baby rattle of death." Caramel replied.
There was a thud sound and the warthog went over a bump. "Man, you just hit a soldier!" Caramel screamed
"Really?" Tex questioned
"No, just a zombie."
They both laughed liked immature, drunk teenagers and Tex honked the horn.

The horn attracted a zombie which jump off the ruins towards the hog, just to hear the "baby rattle of death" and hit the ground with a thud.
"You deadly with that gun, there." Tex complimented.
"Aw, since when did a 16cm bullets to the head hurt anyone?"
They laughed again.

They drove past some ruins and zombies ran out of the crevices towards the warthog. Caramel shot some of them, but a large portion of them still remained.
"Hold on!" Tex ordered. He drove a bit further away from the zombies then pulled a U-turn that lifted the two left wheels off the ground and sped towards the zombies. The sound of the machine gun firing, the engine revving, zombie screeches, crunches, cracks, and splats filled the air.
A zombie jumped at the hog only to be shot by Caramel, the corpse hit the hood of the hog and got caught on the front spikes of the vehicle, leaving it implanted their.
"Looks, like we gotta hood orn'ment!" Tex hooted
"Eh, Tex, Do you think were bad soldiers like Foxy said?" Caramel asked "We do laugh and goof around all the time during a war."
"I dunno, let's ask our guest." Tex looked at the zombie's corpse through the windshield and asked "Are we good soldiers?" The hog hit a small sand dune causing the zombie's head to bobble up and down. "Well, he said yes!" Tex hollered, and they burst out laughing.

The radio crackled, "This is Hog 2 requesting aid...zombies everywhere, ah... get off....uh, ah" They then heard an explosion and the radio fizzled out. Tex looked over his shoulder to Caramel, "Well they're dead! Wanna go zombie huntin'?" Yeah was of course the answer.
They ramped off the ruins and Tex whooped and Caramel Yipped. When they hit the ground Tex said to Caramel, "Don't yip." Caramel put his head down and after a brief pause they began laughing.
They arrived at the hog it was surrounded by zombies and next to a dune. "I have an idea." Tex whispered. They drove wide of the zombies (still unaware of the hog) and revved their engine. They gathered speed as they reached the dune. On the edge of a dune there was an Orange glow. "MINE!" Caramel bellowed
Tex snickered, "Yeah, mine all mine."
The warthog hit the mine and it propelled them off the dune and over the perplexed zombies. The warthog landed (on its wheels) and slid a bit. Tex popped his head out of the opening of driver's side, looked at the zombies and said "SAY HELLO TO MY CANADIAN FRIEND!" Caramel then opened fire on the zombies.
-Enjoy!
