Halo: Memories
    Percy awoke in the rubble. His squad’s Pelican was destroyed and its remains were covered in mud. Two more Spartans were there with him.
“Well, that’s one way to land,” A white Spartan said while rummaging through the broken Pelican. “Geez, how hard should it be to find my sniper?”
“We were worried about you captain,” A baby blue Spartan said in a female voice. Percy recognized the voices.
“Lee, do you and Kim know if the rest of the squad is good?” Percy asked in a concerned voice. Kim, the baby blue Spartan, removed her helmet allowing her long red hair to fall down. She had a grim look on her face.
“Anderson and Scott perished in the crash. Everyone else is in a nearby cave. We were able to save some equipment too. We saved two rocket launchers, eight rockets, a dozen packs of C-12, ten fragmentation grenades, and our equipment. Well, we found most of it. Lee is still trying to find his sniper but otherwise we got all of it,” Kim said as she put her helmet on.
“Found it,” Lee said. He slung his sniper on his back.
“Good, I better tell the squad I’m ok,” Percy said. The Spartans walked towards the cave.
Back at the cave, the Spartans were having lunch when they saw their brown-armored captain walk in. At the sight of the captain a red Spartan jumped up and saluted.
“Calm down Brian, it is only me,” Percy said. “May, do you know the Covenant positions yet?”
“No sir, all we’ve seen are Elites scouting the area in Ghosts,” A pink Spartan said.  Percy turned on his long-range communication device.
“Percy to Reach, come in Reach, it’s Spartan 378 calling Reach,” Percy said.
“This is Reach Command Center Alpha. What do you need Spartan 378?” Communications Expert Charlie said through Percy’s helmet speakers.
“Send one hundred marines and fifty ODSTs to Halo’s third ring. Use slip-space to get them here faster,” Percy replied back with.
“Spartan 378, your soldiers will be there soon. I’d send a Spartan squad to help but Noble Team and Chief’s squad are both busy dealing with the Covenant,” David said. The communications signal beeped once then died.
“Rex Squad listen up,” Percy said. “Reinforcements won’t be here for a while so we better prepare for combat. Lee, grab your sniper, a magnum, some grenades, and as many clips of ammunition as you can carry. May, grab your shotgun, DMR, three packs of C-12, and tons of ammo as well. Kim, grab your grenade launcher, magnum, grenades and lots of ammo. Derick, get a rocket launcher, a DMR, three rockets, and as many clips as you can hold. Brian, you stay back and hold the fort. Use your transmitter to alert us of any problems.” Everyone had their equipment already on them except for the silver Spartan who went to grab a launcher. Percy helped himself to his custom DMR with x4 magnification scope, blue tiger paint, and the Rex Squad insignia. He also grabbed a silenced MA5B assault rifle, the last two grenades, a pack of C-12, and a dozen clips for each gun. He also threw a Mark VI Cryo Combat Knife to each of his squad mates.
“I already have a knife,” Derick said
“Well this is a new knife. Trust me you can use your old knives as steak knives after you get these. These are Mark VI Cryo Combat Knives. They will freeze the victim’s internal organs causing them to instantly to meet their fallen comrades. They do not work on Hunters though,” Percy said with kid-like excitement.
“Awesome!” Kim said in an excited voice.
“How did you get these?” Brian asked.
“Well, let’s just say working prototypes that had too many copies made. Besides, as a Spartan you deserve the best gear just ask Chief. He gave his team the same thing,” Percy answered with. “Spartans let’s head out to eliminate the Covenant threat. Here’s the plan.”
An Elite scout riding a Ghost was driving by. Lee took aim and killed the Elite leaving the Ghost unharmed. They hid the Ghost and the body and kept repeating this until they had enough Ghosts for the Spartans going out on the mission.
“Take the Elites active-camouflage systems and attach them to your armor,” Percy commanded while grabbing one of the systems in to his armor ability slot in his armor.
“Yes Captain!” His team yelled all grabbing their new armor ability.
“Brian, get down here and get these Plasma Rifles and Needle Rifles,” Percy told Brian. Brian started sliding down the hill and collected the weapons. The Rex Squad members going on the mission jumped in the Ghosts and took off hovering over the mud.
“Covenant military up ahead!” Derick yelled over the Ghost’s engine. The Grunts open fired with their Needlers. The Spartans were maneuvering around. A Jackal fired a Needle Rifle round straight through May’s Ghost’s engine. The Ghost exploded with insane force. May was flung from the seat and was unconscious on the ground with her shields dry. Derick jumped from his Ghost and went in front of May to protect her.
“Derick what are you doing?” Kim asked.
“I’m making sure no one gets left behind,” Derick said taking out three grunts with one DMR shot.
“Spartan 221, jump from your Ghost and get on the ridge.” Percy commanded through his communication device. Lee jumped from his Ghost and climbed up the ridge and got his sniper ready.
“I’ve got the Covenant in my sights Captain,” Lee said. He fired two bullets and six grunts went down from the two bullets.
“Hey Spartans, I heard you needed back up?” said a human voice.
“Identify yourself marine,” Percy said unsure of it being a trick created by his head.
“I’m Lt. Marcus Fisher of Reach Marine Unit 012 and we got your message. My marines will clear the way,” The Lieutenant said. Percy’s genetically enhanced ears could hear the soft landing of three Warthogs landing.
“What type are your Warthogs Lieutenant?” Percy asked.
“Warthogs? What Warthogs? We didn’t bring any,” Lt. Marcus said confused. “Marines, take out those Grunts!”
“I believe those are our Warthogs,” An ODST commander said through his headset. “They are all Gatling Hogs except for one Gauss Hog,” The ODST commander said. A Phantom Dropship flew over the battlefield. The Phantom’s Needle Turrets killed most of the UNSC Marines. A dozen Needler rounds hit one marine in front of one of the Gatling Warthogs. The Needler rounds exploded painting the Warthog dark red.
“Spartan, my men are going to have to pull out. Wait, no!” A plasma bolt through the head stopped Marcus. Ten of Elites jumped out of the Phantom.
“Rex Squad, fall back to the Warthogs!” Percy commanded. Derick carried May to the Gatling Warthog and yanked the Gatling gun off the Warthog. He found a boulder in the mud and stomped the top or the boulder flat. He then put the Gatling gun on the boulder and then set it up next to the ODSTs. He picked up May’s unconscious body to the now empty back of the Warthog.
“Kim, come with me in the Gauss Hog, leave the blood-covered one for the ODSTs. I’ll drive you take the gun,” Lee told Kim.
“Fine Lee, but I drive on the way back,” Kim said.
“Derick, you sit in back of our unarmed warthog and make sure May doesn’t fall off. If she wakes up give her the command to use her DMR to take out enemy soldiers. Use the launcher if needed otherwise use one of the Needlers from a fallen grunt to cover us. You should have tons of ammo, I’d say about ten Needler clips full. I’ll drive us to the command center,” Percy said. His team nodded and got into position. The Rex Squad shot through the mud spitting it up into the air.
After hours of driving the Spartans reached a giant metal building with a solid door. May finally woke up about halfway there.
“That was odd. There was no one trying to stop us,” Derick said.
“Rex Leader, Rex leader are you there?” Said a familiar voice.
“Brian what do you need?” Percy said.
“Please get back here to help me,” Brian said. You could hear gunfire in the background. All of a sudden you could here the soft hum of an Energy Sword and the growl of an Elite when the communication signal went static.
“Team, I have grave news. Brian has just been taken from us by Elites. The reason why we didn’t face any resistance is because they were after our cave hideout.” Percy said in a grim tone of voice.
“Well let’s give that Covenant scum a piece of Spartan fist,” Derick said in a rage. He took out his launcher and shot at the door. The door blew open and four-dozen plasma bolts shot through the door.
“Spartans use the Active Camouflage to sneak by,” Percy said through his headset. The Spartans were able to sneak by the swarm of plasma with a few close calls. They reached an indent in the wall big enough for the team to hide.
“You guys press on I’ll stay here,” Derick said switching his Camouflage for Armor Lock-up. “You Covenant creeps are going to pay for what you did to my team.”
“Derick what are you doing?” May said concerned.
“I’m just going to get you through. I’m probably not going make it out of here so May, I want you to know this. I loved you,” Derick said removing his helmet. May removed her helmet as well. Derick and May shared a quick kiss which was followed by surprise when Derick gave her his dog tags. “Being a Spartan has taught me a lot of things. One of them is that you need to make sacrifices. It is time for me to make mine.” Derick finished with as he charged ahead putting his helmet on. May put on her helmet. A Ghost shot by Derick and Derick used Armor Lock-up in front of the Ghost. The front of the Ghost smashed in and the whole Ghost flipped in the air killing the Elite in the driver’s seat. All of a sudden the other Spartans heard a huge crash.
“Rex Squad, Derick is biding us some time so activate your camouflage and get through the area. We need to get to that control center,” Percy said. The Spartans dashed invisibly through the battlefield when they discovered what the crash was. It was a giant ten foot tall Hunter. Not an ordinary Hunter, a Hunter with two Fuel Rod Guns and Shields on the outside of each gun. This Hunter was also different because it was without a blood brother.
“What kind of a Hunter is that?” Derick said. He loaded his rocket launcher with his last two rockets. “Take this rocket you ugly, overgrown lizard.” He fired one rocket. The Hunter simply lifted his shield and deflected the rocket into the ceiling. “How are its shields that powerful?” He asked unloading his last rocket. The Hunter deflected it again. The Hunter was tired of playing games now. He charged both of his Fuel Rods and fired his left one. Derick rolled to the right of the shell but was caught in the chest by the right Fuel Rod’s shell. Derick’s shields flickered. “I’ll see you again May, I’ll see you again,” Derick said faintly through his headset into May’s headset. Those were his final words.
“Derick, come in Derick!” May said in a panicked tone of voice. “Percy, we lost Derick!”
“He knew what he was doing. He had to get us through to end this mess,” Percy said. “What we need to worry about is our mission. It is what Derick would want us to do.” The Spartan squad ran down the hallway. They heard a large jetpack take-off.
“It must be that Hunter,” Kim said.
“I hope it is so I can pay him back for what he did to Derick,” May said infuriated and pumped her shotgun putting one round in the firing chamber.
The Hunter was drawing closer.
“We’ll never reach the panel before the Covenant activates it with this wall right in front of us,” Lee said kicking a wall to his side. They could hear the Hunter land on the other side of the wall. The wall glowed an eerie green.
“Move out of the way!” Percy yelled. The Spartans dove out of the way just in time to see a pair of Fuel Rod Shells fly through the wall. “Throw your Cryo Knives now!”
“I thought they didn’t work on hunters!” May yelled.
“One doesn’t but four should at least stun it,” Percy said. The team threw their knives and with their enhanced senses they hit between the Hunter’s armor. “It slowed down. May, you deserve the kill.” May took her shotgun and went behind the Hunter.
    “You’ll pay for Derick’s death you ugly snake,” May said. She climbed on its back and separated jetpack from armor. Then May took her shotgun and shot the exposed orange flesh five times. Blood sprayed from the wound. The Hunter let out a low growl then fell dead.
    “I see the control panel dead ahead,” Lee said through his headset. I’m going to destroy it. Everyone give me your explosives.” The Spartans did as Lee commanded. Lee dashed to the panel and rigged the explosives to go off in an hour.
    “Let’s get out of here Rex Squad,” Percy said when he heard Suicide Grunts run in. “I got this.” He unloaded one round from his DMR on one of the Grunt’s plasma grenades. It exploded taking out the other grunts too.
    “Percy, my sensors are telling me there are four Banshees in the main hanger. I know where that is so follow me,” Kim said sprinting down a different hallway.
    “Follow her, Spartans,” Percy commanded. The team didn’t need to be told to do it. The team finally made it to the hanger.
    “Percy, we only have forty minutes left!” Lee said.
    “Spartans, take a Banshee and go to the rendezvous site,” Percy said. The team flew out of the hanger and back to the battlefield Marcus died on. They reached the battlefield unharmed. When they got to the battlefield however, the ODSTs and the Covenant were both dead. “What did this?” Percy asked Kim.
    “I think it was that,” Kim said eying a Scarab Tank coming after them.
    “Rex Squad, take that thing out,” Percy said.
“No, I’ll take it out,” Kim said. “I know its weak spot.”
“Fine, all other Spartans get to the ODST Pelican,” Percy commanded. The team landed and got to the Pelican. Kim on the other hand was flying behind the Scarab trying to shoot its core. The Scarab had a hidden surprise though. A Shade Turret armed by a Jackal popped out of the back of the Scarab. The Shade opened fire on Kim’s Banshee. The wings ripped clear off of the Banshee.
    “I’m going to have to sacrifice myself if you want to get out of here,” Kim said. She pulled hard on the steering lever lining up for a clear crash course with the core. Percy hopped into the driver’s seat of the Pelican. The other two Spartans jumped into the Pelican guns. Percy made the Pelican take off of Halo. Lee turned away his head as the Scarab exploded. Percy turned on his Communication System.
“Listen up team, we came here as seven but we are leaving as three. You need to know that those Spartans who gave their lives for our survival knew what it means to be a soldier. It means making sacrifices to keep your team alive. We will always remember Scott, Anderson, Brian, Derick, and Kim in the Spartan Hall-of-Fame,” Percy said with tears in his eyes. Once he finished the whole planet under him exploded in mud and debris. The Pelican shuddered a bit but it stayed intact. The UNSC frigate Sundance was out in space. The Pelican docked with the Sundance and the Spartans got out. The Spartans were headed back home to Reach.
