Survive

Chapter Thirdteen: Fall of Harvest

Couple Hours Before- Planet Harvest 2525 1300 Hours ~Civilian P.O.V.~

It was beautiful outside, birds chirping, kids laughing, people chatting. I am just a simple man with three kids and love all of them. Couldn't tell if it was getting darker and darker. But of course I didn't care, just thought it was just the weather changing.

"Kids lets go home it's..." my kids didn't pay attention but looked up like every other person was.

I looked up also watching a weird purple spaceship. Hovering over everything. That's when I heard everything become quite that I have ever heard this place been. It became scary.

"Seth, Karry, Jen. Lets go. Now." I said but they didn't move.

"Daddy I am sca...."

That was probably the last thing I ever heard before bright light came and heard nothing but silence.

Halsey P.O.V. 2526

It was hard to believe that it was....an official time of the Fall of Harvest. That the war has begun with the Covenant. The Spartans finally had their last part of the project which was Project MJOLNIR. The key of this survival. The win of this war.

The Spartans actually lost another...teammate. Samuel AKA Serria-034. Died in combat. But John never actually marked it as KIA. Everytime a Spartan dies...he marks it as. MIA. Missing in Action.

It made the situation more depressing. More upsetting. More encouraging. It showed that Spartans never die, they are just missing. Which made not only me but military personal have hope. Faith that this war will end. Soon.

"Dr. Halsey?" I turned and it was Serria-024.

"Yes 024?"

"Can I speak to you ma'am?" she stood tall, straight, her hair was now little pass her ears. She had her Mark V helmet on her side holding it with her arm.

I fixed my glasses and out my pad down on my desk. "About what?"

She walked in fully and had the door slide shut. Still standing at attention. I sighed. "At ease Spartan, I am no military General." I smirked sitting in my chair.

Her shoulders slumped. She didn't even smile at the sarcasm in my voice. "Well ma'am it's about the war."

My eyes widened. No spartan has came and ask me about this horrid time. "The war?" I coughed.

She nodded. "It's actually more about Sam I mean Spartan 034," she dazed for a second than cleared her throat. "You know he showed us that Spartans can die, that we aren't impossible to stop."

I watched her mood change to emotionless than angry, upset. It was remarkable, all the training that she has been through, still has...not now. "That's the point 024, you aren't yes but he also showed how brave and courageous you have to be. To save us. To save our home. Our planets. Our universes. This seems like hard time losing Harvest. But we will have to fall before rising Spartan."

She stared at me. Probably studying me. Than she stood up. "Sorry Doctor but I have training to get to." She saluted.

I nodded. "No Spartan you do have to go. Now go."

She left the room putting her helmet on. I sighed watching the door slide shut. Than looked at my pad again, watching the video of Harvest being burnt, watching one of our UNSC ship explode into ashes. It all replayed over and over again. It will probably will be my most nightmare for now on.
