This is a story i've been thinking of writing for a while but never got to it. So here it is. The story is about one of the spartans (not the master cheif) and what his life was like from childhood. ----
Chapter 1- The Spartan Project
It was a dark time. The covenant were attacking and the UNSC could hold them off but not for long. It wouldn't be long before the covenant found the coordinates of Earth and the planet would fall. This one day a scientist had an idea to deafeat the covenant.
"Mr. Greenston the commander will see you now." The sectratary said at the UNSC main HQ. Mr. Greenston had an idea to create a new kind of war machine. He slowly walked into the commander's office. "Hello commander Writher. It's Edward Greenston" he said. The commander nodded and motioned him to sit down. "I hear that you wanted to talk to me about something. You said it was ugernt." he said. "Yes. I see that we a loseing the war and the marines cannot hold off the covenant forever. We need to create a stronger warrior. A...Spartan." he said quietly so they couldn't be overheard. "Interesting.... I will have to consider this with the council. You will be notified when we come to an awnser." he replied. The scientist walked out of the office. An hour later he was home and ready to go to sleep. He had a tireing day and just wanted to go to bed. He laid down on his bed and slowly went to sleep. But he was awaken by his phone ringing. His caller ID said that it was the UNSC HQ. He quickly picked it up. "Hello Edward. This is commander Writher. We have come to a desicion about your idea." He said plainly so it was impossible for the scientist to tell if he was going to say yes or no. "We have decided to accept your idea. Please report to the UNSC HQ tommorow at 0900." He said good night and hung up. The scientist beamed and happily wen to bed. If this works I could really help the world, he thought. With that in mind he quickly went to bed so he could get to the HQ as soon as possible.
Chapter 2- The Spartans
Two weeks from that same day the UNSC was going to "recruit" Spartans. This day they stopped at the house of Dan.
I remember it very well. It was in the middle of the day and I was just sitting on my couch watching TV. But suddenly the door burst open and two UNSC agents walked in. They talked quietly with my mom then one of them picked me up. I started to cry. I wailed and swung my arms at my mom but she was crying too hard to notice me. The agents put me into a seat in the back of their car and drove off to the UNSC base. When we got there they lead me into a the base and put me into a room with 18 other boys. They all looked as scared, sad, and confused as me. But one boy stood out. He was just standing in a corner looking at a picture on the wall. I walked over to him. "Hewo. I'm Dwan" I said quietly. But the boy didnt say anything. So i walked back tot he other side of the room. We waited there for hours and hours. I was starting to get hungry and tired. The room was bare and the ground was very uncomfortable. I started to cry but held in my tears. Soon I was able to fall asleep but woke up several times to move around because of the hard ground. Then I woke up and it was morning. All the other kids were already awake and sitting all around the room. Then after a few hours the door opened. A man walked in. He was a marine and had a sidearm on his belt. He ordered us to folow him. We didn't want to but he forced us to. Some kids started crying but that one strange kid was in the front of the line standing proudly. We reached a room with at least 20 hammock like beds in it. He each got one and that was where we slept. Then we were fed spinache and soy milk for breakfast. I didn't want to eat it at first but i was starving and forced it down my throut. After we finished eating our "food" the marine ordered us down the hallway and we stepped into a huge room. It was filled with differnt kinds of weapons, vehicles, and all sorts of stuff. I was amazed at first but this room soon became hell.
Chapter 3- Hell Training
For the next year we trained in that room everyday. We ran on treadmills and exercised on other machines for hours, got less than 2 hours of sleep at day, and had to learn how to use a gun. We only learned how to use a pistol at first but it was hard. I remeber one day we were shooting at targets up to 50 feet away. I had okay aim but it was hard to hold the gun. One kid, Mike, was out of breath and was tried. He held his gun down to his foot and forgot to put the safety on. When our marine trainer yelled at him his hands balled into fists. His hand squeezed the trigger and he shot himself right in the foot. He was rushed to the emergency room in the base and was back hours later, limping across the room. We all learned after then to be more careful. That year dragged by and I dreaded each day. My body was sore and tried, I didn't have my birthday or got to paly with toys, just worked and trainied. One day was differnt. I woke up and an alert was going off. I quickly got out of bed and looked around. The marine who trained us came ursting into the door. He held a box of pistols that we ordered us to take. The we ran to the entrance of the HQ. We saw a group of people wearing all black and a holo-hood that blurred out their faces. The marine told us to shoot them. We didn't want to and just stood there. The burgulars took out rifles and pointed them at us. The one weird kid, John , suddenly pushed through us and shot. He hit them in the temples adn they fell easily. He pulled out the clip and put in a fresh one he had in his pocket. The marine was stunned. He passed out and fell tot he floor. "Come on guys, i'm tired" he said in a normal two year old voice even thoguh he had just killed the people. He definatly was strange, i told myself. But nonetheless I followed him and so did everyone else.
Today was my birthday. I was turning 3 years old. I told everyone nd they said happy birthday but when i told the marine he told me to do 100 push ups. "Here's my present" he said in a evil voice. It took me a whiel to do them. I could noly do 4 or 5 at a time and i cried alot in between. I would never get to have a party or get presents or see my family ever again. I didn't want to be a Spartan. I didn't want to save the planet. I just wanted to see my family and have a normal life again. But my wish never came true. This was the life I would have. This and only this.
Chapter 4- The Mission-
As the years passed I became stronger. The training became less stressful and my weapon skills were unbeatable. I was 8 when our team went on our first misson. We were taken to the planet Reach wherre we were going to have to get back to Earth with only a map of the planet.
The pelican dropped us and we looked around. The terrain was like a desert and they could see few trees. John had the map chip in his hand. He activated it and the map rose up above the chip. It had their current position and the rest of the planet. They did notice a pelican on the map. It was guarded with troops and they were heavily armed. "We have to capture that ship and take it back to Earth." John said. He started to walk but Andy stopped him. "Thats crazy. Were not armed with anything and we don't even know how to pilot it". John looked at him, his eyes burned into his. "You got a better idea?". Andy stepped back and said nothing. They walked to the pelican making sure not to get too close. They saw at least 5 marines guarding the entrance of the pelican. They had to find some kind of weapon. John motioned them to folow him. They walked tot he back of the pelican and saw a bag of weapons laying there. "Everyone grab a weapon and folow me" John said. They grabbed pistols, rifles, and machine guns and folowed John back to the front side of the ship. They spread out in a delta formation useing every rock they could find. Then they readied to attack. John held up 3 fingers then couted them down to one. They rose up past the safe protection of the rocks and fired. The marines immediatly saw them and fired. John strafed across his team firing his rifle. He took out 2 marines then the rest fell pretty quickly. They ran into the entrance of the Pelican. The easy part was over. Now they had to capture the ship.
Chapter 5- The Pelican
The team went inside making sure they didnt walk into a marine infested room. They saw 2 doors when they walked in. John split the team up and half of them went through one door and half through the other.
I was on John's team. We went through the left door. The door opened automatically and the room past it was bare. It was a weapon storage room used very recently. The group grabbed weapons, extra ammo, and grenades. The room wasn;t very big so they quickly secured it and made sure there was no one hiding there. Then they activated the door at the end of the room.
Once again i'll finish the chapter later but im gonna go to bed for now.
