Halo: Aegis Fate

 

Quick note, this fix is set two weeks after the Chief destroyed Installation 04 B. for unknown reasons, part of the Ark was spared the destruction. This story is partly based off existing multiplayer maps and my own locale. I hope you enjoy the story of Griffin Squad as I add more and more chapters. They will be edited into this post.

 

Constructive criticsm welcome.

 

Part One- Begin

13:45 Hours, Alpha base, otherwise known as ‘The sandtrap’

 

 

James woke in a white room. It had no windows and no doors that were visible. Then his memory flashed. A troop bay. Black. A fireball. Black again. A distant voice called

“He’s awake, sir!” He blacked out again. Then pain. On his face.

“Wake up! Wake! Up!”

His eyes opened. He was in some kind of troop bay. Two men stood over him. He remembered them. His vision went blurry as he tried to sit up. It was coming back to him, why he was here, where he was. The… Ark? Yes. That was where he was. A giant Forerunner installation outside the galaxy, designed to protect life from the superweapons known as the Halo Array. He looked up.

“Can you remember my name?” The voice asked. Captain… Captain Luke Walker. And the other one, the medical technician. He couldn’t remember.

“James! James, can you hear me?”

“Urh… Yeah.” He said, rubbing his forehead, he had just noticed the killer headache he had.

“Good, we thought you were in a coma, we have three others in a coma and fourteen dead. Can you walk? Come with me, I’ll jog your memory.” The captain continued, lifting a cloth flap. They walked outside, James limping occasionally on top of a small sand dune. James looked around behind him. What he thought had been a room was actually an Albatross heavy cargo dropship. It was buried in the sand, crashed and had a tent flap with a rough cross painted on. “That’s the medical centre, or the closest we have to one anyway.”

“What… Where are we? I remember dropping from orbit… then nothing” James asked.

“We were part of a transport to resupply, refuel and reinforce the Master Chiefs assault on the Control Room. We were shot down over the desert by a Phantom which crashed not too far away after our Pelican and Hornet escorts got it. This is when you were knocked out, we took over these ruins until a covvie strike team arrived, now we’re just in a stalemate over a barren desert."

Part Two- Begin

 

The two ODST’s continued walking, and rounded the corner of a huge sandstone monument, charred away and buried after millennia of neglect.

“This our Command and Control centre, or what passes for one anyways”

The plain of sand, in the shade of the pillar looked more of a refugee camp than a military installation. Various troopers squatted in the shade, desperate to escape the heat and dehydration. In the middle of the arch was a lone Scorpion tank, with various Warthog LRVs surrounding it. Beyond them was a ‘Spine’ of sorts, with a hallway through the middle and once again, buried. On the top, there were smaller versions of the arch they were standing under and a direct copy of theirs further behind. Closer to home was a gravity lift, embedded in the rock, James could only assume it was to a snipers nest up top. And then, there was a gigantic vehicle. It had a large troop bay and various turrets, there were more troopers leaning against the two giant tracks on the side. There was a painting on the side of a creature and writing under it that said ‘Leviathan.’ “Now here’s the main control, The Elephant is nearly invulnerable to small arms fire, and can transport our entire infantry contingent, come inside, the Commander will want to see you”

 

The inside of the vehicle was a hub of activity. A central computer terminal showed scans of the atmospheric composition and structures. Three ODST technicians and another wearing a modified Recon helmet stood round a terminal. “Commander, another survivor, he’s just woke up.” Reported the Lieutenant as the one with the Recon headgear looked up, and Depolarised his silver visor, turning it transparent.

“And your name is?” he asked.

“Corporal James Tyler, Sir!” replied the soldier as he stood to attention.

“You picked a hell of a time to show up soldier” continued the officer as he removed his helmet. He had a scar over his nose, and a prosthetic eye, evidence of encounters of Sangheili wielding energy swords. “Come with me.” They walked out of the transport and up into the snipers nest. There was a single man there, wielding a Snipers rifle. There was a barricade at the front of the nest with a munitions crate behind. He passed the Commander the Anti-Matérial rifle.

“At 13:33 ours, we saw fighting on the mesa. We assumed it was incoming fire, so we got up quickly. By the time we were up here, it had died down. Take a look, there’s hinge-head corpses, but no others. I propose sending a recon team to investigate, in which I volunteer.”

“Good work, Sergeant” Muttered the officer, looking through the scope.

“Murphy, sir”

“Good work Murphy. The problem is that the squads we ave are barely able to contain what we have, Which suffice to say, is not much. I’m approving the mission, but you wil have a maximum of five volunteers. No more, I’m sorry.”

Nice job, the only Criticism I can give is that some sentences were a little to short, im not sure if that was intentional or not, but maybe link them with story pauses.......<--- like that, i use that to add the short silence effect..

Other then that, I like it so far

[BaconShelf]

Yes, it was intentional. And parts 2+ will be longer, I was interrupted when I had to post thisz
