The Hard Stand

This story is basted on a story and game called Halo. I decided to write a story from a point of view of a marine. The time takes place after the Covenant civil war (For the people that haven’t played or read the books, the Covenant civil war is when the alien race’s got into the war with them selves. One type of the race’s named the Elites joined our side.) This is also a chapter book, I recommend you to check my profile once a week on Sundays to read the new chapters.

Chapter 1

The hard assault

“Go go go,” a marine whispered, as I moved into firing position with my M67 pistol. “What’s the status soldier?” asked Commander. “Looks like the Covenant don’t even now that we just made an assault on one of their base.” I was tired and without energy after our last attack. I lost all my ammo, the only thing what was keeping me up was my girl friend Tex. It was her green eyes and blond straight smooth hair she had, it was her angled face and of course love that made me strong. We were sent on a mission; last night we located a ship crash in the west part of Africa so we sent a team to check what was inside of it. In that time we had to distract our enemies. “You alright?” Brandon asked me I only nodded looking at his powerful face that would never show fear if he was scared. He was always on the move. As we ran up to the side of the hill we saw a huge command post under us. “Get ready for a next offense attack marines, Anzi get to sniper position and stay up here, Vlad I want you to get that rocket launcher and cover us when the

big guys will enter the fight with us, you too Olli.” The Commander yelled, to keep my energy up I shouted out loud “Let them have it men.”

The introduction to this battle was me and Brandon throwing a grenade at a sleeping Hunter (One of the most power fullest of united confederation races. They are usually used for demolition or heavy defense. They are somewhere ten feet,) “Fire!” I yelled. I through a rope to the hole were was the Covenant camp and slide down well the other guys covered me. Finally the whole group was on the ground well Vlad, Olli and Anzi were covering us. I fired with my pistol at a Grunt (They are the basic infantry unit of the Covenant. They are 4-5 feet tall. They’re really strong in groups and have a really high voice.) until he laid dead. I ran to the dead creature and grab its weapon called the needler, As Sam and Brandon covered me with there assault rifles. To be quite honest I was guessing that we were losing the fight already by the dying voices of men. When I was just about to grab the neddler, my eyes widened up as they cached a huge foot stepping on the grunts weapon as I looked in the face of my enemy that was just about to kill me.
