War is an ugly aspect of humanity, we wage war on each other, for power, influence, riches, territory, ideals, religion and freedom.
But the human-covenant war, that wasn't a war for any of those, it was a war for the very survival of our species, a...
"Oi what was that!" I yelled as the pelican began to fly out of control.
Causing everyone who weren't able to strap in was toss around before the pelican stabilize.
I unstrap myself and pick up a kid who fell on the floor before giving him back to his parents before entering the cockpit.
"Pilot what's happening?" I ask them.
"One of engines just fail we're gonna have to land" the pilot said while they tried to keep the ship balance.
"Alright notifiy command to send an extra pelican along with back up, we are going to need it" I said before leaving the cockpit.
"For the life of me I can't remember what had happened, all I know I woke up with one hell of a headache, I was lucky to wake up at all"

"Oh my lord" I said as I tried to get up but slip and fall face into the dirt.
My ears were ringing and my vision was blurry, I could barely see the pelican fly across my view.
I tried to get up grabbing the rifle in front of me using it to lift myself off the ground before falling again.
That's when I turn over and look at my leg which was dislocated which I painfully managed knock it back into place before getting back up.
I took a look at my surroundings and realized how fucked I'm as a saw an elite throwing the corpse of a child of his blade.
I tried to get out of but I think it was too late.
"Ah so you live" the elite said as he look down on me but I shot him a few times but his shields took the hits for him.
"You aren't worth the energy" he said as he grab me before tossing me to at brute.
"Do not kill him, restrain him, the demons will come for him and we shall lure them into our trap" the elite said.
"Go Fu-"

"Shit" I said as I open my eyes and felt the feeling of being stab multiple times.
"Haha, fresh meat" a jackal said as it tried to bite me but it got grab by that elite from earlier and toss away before the elite grab me by the neck.
"Now tell me human, where are your demons!?" He demanded.
"Up your mother" I replied bitterly.
"Then I shall make your death slow herit-" a bullet went right through his head taking some of his face with it.
"Crap!" I yell as I fall down almost getting crush by the elite.
Gunshots and explosions were going off and I was stuck here.
I manage to push the bastard off me before picking up his energy sword and my rifle after which I limp my way to the fire fight.
As I limp I saw a few grunts which I gun down and as I see another one I shot him too.
I kept limping and killing more and more before I was pick up by the brute which I tried to kill with my rifle only to watch as he grab and squash it.
I grab the energy sword from my hip and slice his arm causing me to fall again.
Then I heard another shot and the body fall with a sizable hole in his eye socket.
I tried to get up but I wasn't moving.
"Oh come on" I said bitterly as I tried to force myself up before falling down again this time on my back.
"Need a hand marine?" A feminine voice said as an armored hand appeared in my blurry vision.
"No" I replied as I force myself up again without falling.
"Is there any other survivors? I ask I took off my goggles which cause of my blurred vision and that's when I realized that it was a Spartan I was talking to.

"They've already been evacuated" she stated.
"Well at least we get a small win I guess" I whispered before falling down again but I didn't hit the ground.
"I got you marine" the Spartan said as she put me in a fireman carry.
"Thank you but can you put me down please?" I asked out of embarrassment
"No, if I let you walk again you are gonna past out due to a concussion, several untreated wounds, bruises, a boken bone and a stab wound in your palms and feet" she stated as she carried me.
"Alright here I don't think I'll need it again" I replied a bit bitterly as I bend my arm to give the energy sword before passing out
"This was my first experience with a Spartan, it wasn't something I had ever expected and I only saw the aftermath of a fight which was a lot of dead covies still though it feels like our luck is against us"
