The Flood
My first Halo fanfic, enjoy!!
"So whatdya think the captain wants us out here for?" asked Reilly, " I mean there arent any covenant in miles now." "I guess the Cap'n is just takin extra precausttion mate." replied Jack, they were only two of fifteen marines stationed outside of a supposed weapons cache in a swamp. Corporal Peterson was barking orders to the troops, and they scrambled to comply: some were setting up a LAAG gattling turret, others moved into a recon position, Reilly and Jack were stationed slightly within the entrance to the facility, they looked out into the bog, and heard a deep hoarse roar come from the swamp, they had been hearing it all night. No one had seen any wildlife on Halo, other than some fish, a waterborn parasite and insects, but they could certainly hear the elusive creatures outside, thats when the Captain showed up, "Captain Keyes," the soldiers snapped into position as the Corporal mentioned him, "the peremiter is set up and we have secured some of the facility." "Good," Keyes replied "Contact Johnson and his squad I want a status update of his progress." the Corporal pressed the transmitter in his helmet, he was one of few marines to still have armor, most of the soldiers armor had been damaged beyond repair, "This is Corporal Peterson to Sergeant Johnson, come in Johnson." "This is Johnson," a deep voice said "what is it Peterson?" "The Captain requests a progress report..." "Well," he said "I figure by the schematics we were given, that we are about half way through here, few enemies have been encountered and almost all of them were those little gas suckers." "Tell him ill be down there in a few minutes and have him wait." Keyes said, "You catch that Johnson?" asked Peterson "Yes I did waiting here for you si- woah!" "What is it Sarge?" "I think that Keyes should see this for himself." with that the Captain made his way down the elevator with his two men.
Later inside the installation Keyes met was near the room that Johnson and his squad were in... "Sarge," Private Kappus yelled to Johnson, "come look at this!" Johnson walked to the corner where Kappus was at "Jesus Christ Marine!" he looked at the magled body of a dead Sangheili, "Did you do that? it doesnt look like any weapon I have seen, its almost like something twisted its chest open and mangled it." "Which is weird right?" Kappus asked as he prodded the dead alien with his foot, "Something scrambled the insides."
"Whats that? plasma scoring?" Sarge asked "Yea...I dunno. Maybe there was an accident, you know, friendly fire or something?" then the Captain entered. He asked Mendoza where the Sergeant was and made his way there, "Well what do we have here, Sergeant?" "Looks like a Covenant patrol, Badass Elite units,
all KIA." "Real pretty. Friend of yours?" "Naw, we just met..." Kappus replied slightly apprehensive.
Reilly helped load the last turret, they didnt plan to be here long, but it was worth the security. They heard something else in the bushes now, something new, a squishy, hissing sound. It disturbed the men, "What is that Corporal?" Jack asked, "I dont know son, just keep on your toes." thats when it happened, a dozen came from the left, at least two dozen from the right, they were all orb like creatures swarming the marines "Incoming!" Jack yelled "Open fire!!" Peterson barked in reply. they shot most of them before they got close, the rest shortly followed, then a swarm of at least fifty came in dead ahead, along with what appeared to be a ***** green Sangheili corpse! "Jesus Christ Corporal call the Captain!!" But Peterson was already on it!
(A few minutes before, in the installation.) They rounded a corner and made theyre way down a slope, on the left was a door, "This must be it," Johnson replied "but wait! Why did we only encounter a few grunts on the way down?" he asked "I dunno, maybe they were afraid of us and knew we were coming, so they shot themselves." the Marines snickered, "Enough of that!" Johnson commanded. Captain Keyes straightened his uniform, "Right, lets get this door open." Ill try sir, but it looks like the Covenant worked pretty hard to lock it down." said Kappus "Just do it son." "Yes Sir!" Kappus took out a spoofer and placed it on the door, he punched in a code, and in a few moments the door unlocked. The soldiers brought their weapons to bear and Kappus signals Bisenti through, followed closely by Jenkins, the crowd favorite of the squad. The next inside in order were: Kappus, Riley, Johnson, Mendoza, Keyes, Jacob and Daniel. The room was empty, nothing moving and no supplies, they were about to move out, but the door locked behind them, "I got a bad feeling about this..." Mendoza said "Boy, you always got a bad feelin about somethin!" Sarge replied. The O.S radio kicked in, "Captain, Sarge can you hear me?" Petersons voice came through, Johnson boosted the frequency and adjusted the volume for the Captain to talk aswell as listen. Keyes responded "Whats going on?" "We've got contacts...lots of them...but they're not Covenant...they're just tearing through us...what the!...OOH!...NOO!!!" the signal broke, "Corporal? Do you copy, over?" Sarge queried, with no avail: the line was dead. He turned to Mendoza "Mendoza, get your ass back up to Second Squad's position, and find out what the hell is goin' on." "But, si-" "I don't have time for your lip, soldier! I gave you an order." "Sarge! Listen!" they both stopped and waited, a few seconds past and they heard a squishy hiss. Riley took a step back from the squad, "What is that?" Bisenti asked, Riley took two more steps back. "Where's that coming from, Mendoza?" Johnson demanded, "Everywhere... I don't... there! Mira!" the closest door to the left of their position exploded outwards releasing small balloon like creatures that began making their way to the squad, "AH!" Riley cried in pain "Get it off!! Get it AUGH!!" "Hold Still!" Kappus replied scambling over to help him, after he pulled the form off of him, Riley went limp and the creature tried to attack Kappus. "Let 'em have it!" Sarge yelled "Sergeant were surrounded!" Keyes said, "Goddammit, Jenkins, fire your weapon!" Johnson barked "Theres to many sarge!" Jenkins panicked, Mendoza ran to the door in panic, three of the creatures attached to him "Yo this is loco!" "Get back here Mendoza, thats an order!" Keyes barked, then a form jumped him aswell, Johnson got attacked but seemed unphased. Jenkins got atatcked by several of the creatures in shock, "Jenkins!!?" Johnson yelled, and began spraying at the forms on him, to late Jenkins was dead! Mendoza fell to the ground dead, Keyes was limp, Kappus was holding fine, and so was Besenti, though he was surrounded on a pillar he was hanging from. Johnson noticed he was unscathed by the beasts, they would climb on him then run away, "Kappus, Bisenti, come on lets move!" Johnson was first to the door, he tried to open it, Keppus was right behind spraying the horde and covering Bisenti, Johnson got the door open and stumbled through, he heard Bisenti cry out in agony, Kappus looked at Sarge, "Dont even think about it Marine!" he barked "Cya on the other side, Sir." Johnson ran to the door but Kappus closed it, then Johnson heard a loud bang, and heard Kappus' body hit the door, then he heard his rifle drop. Johnson bit his lip, "God's speed Gentlemen." he whispered to himself, then he drew his pistol and made his way to the other exit to the installation, the rally point.
When Johnson arrived he found third squad, "Sir," private Dubbo said "Im glad your hear, radio contact has dropped, we were worried. Then the survivors of second squad came up the elevator, there were only three: Reilly, Jack and Roberto. "I guess well have to wait in here and call for evac." Johnson said as he waved over the survivors, Chips Dubbo looked at Sarge, thne the Marines of second squad, "Wheres the rest?" Reilly shook his head "The Captain!?" he asked nervous now, "Gone, they are all gone." Johnson answered "But we are alive, and we can make it." Johnson tried his radio, hoping for a evac, or the Chief...
