Oh my God a journal!....kindaHere's the Halo story i was talking about back before ODST came out and the Hype machine was in full gear, and i was giggling like a little school girl. It's about other ODST's dropping into New Mombasa a few hours before Bucks squad was. Enjoy what I've written so far. Criticism is appreciated.It was October 20th, 2552. At least that’s what Corporal John Stacker’s HUD said as he was rapidly plummeting through the atmosphere inside his SOEIV(Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle) or Drop Pod towards the city of New Mombasa. The Covenant, a caste system of alien races just attacked Earth. John is an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper or an ODST for short, they often liked to go by the name “Helljumpers” as they “Drop Feet First into Hell” and are an elite group of soldiers in the UNSC Marines. The United Nations Space Command(UNSC) is the main military power, but during this war they are humanity’s primary government. Stacker had been in orbit around Earth aboard the Destroyer UNSC Forge just 30 minutes ago when his squad got the call to “drop”. John or Steak as he was called by his squad loved the thrill and adrenaline currently pumping through his veins as he hurtled towards the hard earth at tremendous speeds. He looked out one of the rectangular view ports in front of him and saw his CO below everyone else as per UNSC protocol. This was it, 3,000 feet left. The rockets on the pod fired, jerking Steak hard in his harness but also slowing his SOEIV down considerably and keeping him from dying a horrible death. He hit the ground with a bone-jarring thud and the door flew off as the explosive bolts initiated. Stacker had his silenced SMG level and ready by the time the large door finally came to rest 30 meters away. He landed in a beautiful and spacious plaza with a large fountain in the middle, luckily for him there was no Covenant currently occupying the surrounding space. The Corporal lowered his weapon, “This is strange” he thought. Looking across the distance of the plaza he found his best friend and fellow teammate doing the same thing. Suddenly, he heard gunfire on the other side of the buildings to his west. He looked at his squad mate and they both nodded at each other. That was the way they needed to go. They jogged toward the fountain in the middle of the plaza and pounded fists when they were close enough. “You ready?” Stacker said to the fellow ODST. “Let’s take the city back” Jones said. He couldn’t see through his helmets visor but John could tell that Jones was grinning from ear to ear to finally be seeing some action. “Let’s head out”. They both knew the real fun was on the other side of those buildings and the two ODST’s couldn’t be more excited for anything else. |
