The Kappa Chronicles (TDC 3)

Chapter 10: Leeroy Jenkins

Jenkins was transported to his first battle in the UNSC. He was on Reach, and his team was holding a position so that a Pelican could land and get civilians off this rock. He ran for cover, and made it before one of those Covenant jerks could shoot him. His commander ran for the cover Jenkins was at. Jenkins knew what happened next, and shouted, "SIR! NO!!" but it was too late. 21 purple needles were shot into his body and exploded, killing the commander. Jenkins looked at his squadmates. He knew their position was surrounded. There was only one choice: to go out in a blaze of glory. "Let's do this." Jenkins jumped from cover, grabbed the commander's chaingun, and ran at the Covenant, shooting the chaingun and shouting, "LEEEEROOOOOOOY JENNNKINNNS!!!!" The covenant, startled that such an inferior race could be so brave, and yet so stupid at the same time, were stunned for about 5 seconds. That was all Jenkins needed in order to slay them all. Jenkins grinned and walked back to the building, where the Pelican was landing...

He was thrown into another memory. This memory was of when he was a recently promoted Captain, and was in command of the UNSC Little Miss Know It All. It was a Stalwart-class light frigate, but it packed a punch. Red alert lights flashed on every control screen.

"Captain! the Covenant is preparing another salvo!"

Jenkins frowned. "Is the MAC cannon charged?"

"Yes sir!"

"Fire at the stern of the Covenant ship."

"Sir?"

"Fire!"

The ship shuddered as it fired its MAC gun. The stern of the Covenant ship erupted into purple flame. Jenkins grinned. "Good job, Lieutenant. You hit their plasma generators." More alarms sounded!

"Sir! another Covenant ship, coming around the nearest planet!"

Jenkins' eyes widened. "Scramble our Longswords!'

A flash on the sides of the Covenant ship! Superheated plasma flew towards the Little Miss Know it All, and Jenkins shouted "ALL DECKS BRACE FOR IMPACT!"

There was a flash of blue, and everything went black.

Jenkins was thrown into a later memory. He was recently demoted to lieutenant, moved to Project Freelancer, and put on a prowler called the Second Son. His S.O, Jacobs, was the current  Advisor/First Officer of Captain North Dakota. He was sitting in the bridge when alarms went off all around him. The door slid open, and Agent Silver ran in, a knife in her hand. She went after Jacobs first, slitting his throat. He gurgled, and the bridge crew gasped. Arizona's voice rang out over intercom: "Attention all decks! Agent Gold has mind controlled TechOps 11 to attack us! Subdue them, but do not kill them!" Jenkins drew a standard-issue combat knife and ran at Silver, stopping her from stabbing the Comms Officer. He hit her on the back of the head, and she crumpled to the floor. Something fell from her ear, and Jenkins grabbed it. It was a comms device. He put it in his ear, and heard Gold saying: "They destroyed the robotic version of me. Silver? Silver, do you read? They fell for it! Silver? SILVER!!!" Jenkins crushed the comms device under his boot, remembering the thought that flew through his mind the first time he was in this time: 'Silver is a traitor? How will I tell North? He'll be heartbroken!'

A new memory, this one just before the present. He was captain of a Paris-Class Frigate called the UNSC Spear of Earth. alarms were going off everywhere, and he was running for the room where they were keeping the greatest weapon ever: a device that erases people from reality. He arrived there and drew his Assault Rifle. If the boarders were going to take this, they would go through him. He aimed his rifle at the door and waited... and waited... and waited... then the door was kicked in! He shot the first boarder in the head, then the second in the throat. Then he got overzealous and just shot randomly. Of course, he ran out of ammunition. A man in forest-green Locus-class MJOLNIR armor stepped in. "Captain Jenkins, I assume. You'll be coming with me." He shot Jenkins in the stomach, and Jenkins shut his eyes in pain. Then he felt a sharp pain in his head and blacked out. 

He awoke in the sheer-white place again. "I did it! I really..." He saw North and Cassandra facing off with some unknown person, guns drawn. "What the heck?"
