Halo Legacy

Floodnight

My name is Jerry Fitzroy. I was born on a jupitar colony and was brought into the war mid covenant war around the time that spartan destroyed the ark and disappeared. I wasn't much of a fighter. I met somebody who was my best friend in odst training his name was markus. Me and him trained hard to prove our worth. He excelled in sniping and I excelled with smgs, shotguns, and covenant weapons like plasma smgs and plasma shotguns those where also expiramental weapons to. On our first deployment we had a hard time. Covenant had invaded a city and we where clear them out. The covenant at this point were disbanded but som still banded together like the brutes and hunters. It was an empty clear street of rubble and water. Markus spotted something in this distance out in the open. I heard the sound of a ghost charging up. I immediately ran toward markus to get him to move it's a trap I screamed but it was to late the ghost plowed right through. I had just got to him and was also hit. The wing of the ghost cut a big slash up up torso. I crawled to markus. He had been split in to with plasma burns all over him.

I don't think I will make it buddy hear take my tags to remember me by and promised me that when get out of the Corp you will... and with that markus died. The ghost rushed back I drove for the ground. It just zoomed over me which led burned me a bit. I knew before that brute on a ghost could take him out Ibhad better kill him. As he charged at me I rolled over grabbed mark's sniper and noscoped him right in the head. Immediately I fell to the ground, now that the adrenaline wore off the pain set in. So I was healed and put back in action. Markus's death lit a fire inside me I had no feeling for the covenant any more. They murder our people coldheartedly so I wouldn't spare theres. I racked a lot of kills people started calling me Shark so that's how I got the nickname the shark. Eventually I was assigned delta squad a group of noobie ODSTs their names were Drew(owl eyes), Tom(badger), and Franklin(Shiny). I taught them my ways and we became a top odst squad. A few weeks ago we were assigned a new squad member.

Who do you think it will be shiny said.

If I knew I would tell you shiny said badger.

I think it will be a woman said drew.

Keep your dick in your pants drew I said in fact is a girl her name Rose Adrian and if you shit like that around you probably won't have one for long.

You know her shark.

Yeah back in the day before I was leader of delta her and I where part of a squad lead by now deceased captain but now I guess she is joining us. In walked an odst woman with rosy red odst armor walked in. She had sandy blonde hair, sand colored skin, blue eyes and a figure that mislead the fact that she was tough as nails.

Hello Fitzong time no see she said.

Hey Rose welcome to delta squad why the transfer.

Why are you part of a squad I thought you were trying to lone wolf it.

I was but it turns out they needed me train a squad. Any way let me introduce them. This owl eyes the sniper, this is badger our explosive expert, and shiny the engineer.

Nice to meet you all I'm Rose the what ever expert. So with the drew badger and shiny being scared of her we moved on. We give to respond to distress beacon on pathara hopefully it would help us contact unsc back on earth of our discovery. As we made our way down to the planet O conversed with Rose alone.

What have you really been doing Rose.

Like I said simple missions you know that you are one of the best odst troops around right why haven't you been asked to be in the spartan fours.

I have I turned them down.

Why.

Because I like things like they are now.

Okay that makes since, not.
We sat in silence for a minute, I look down at markus' dog tags and Rose sees.

You still have those.

Yeah he wanted me to carry them around. She placed her hand on my left hand and grabbed it and stared into my eyes. After few seconds she said.

Do you remember the first day in omega squad. ( still holding my hand )

Yeah I was the only one besides the captain who had combat experience you guys where rookies and I gave you private training courses because you were not a fighter.

Yeah that why did you help train me.

Because you were like me when I started not wanting to fight. Why do ask. But before she could answer the pilot came over the intercom of the pelican and said 5 minutes to landing so we put our helmets on and landed. This part was already present so I will sum it up. We found the flood on pathara along with the covenant. We were to rescue civilians at beacon sights and had one left we cornered in the motel. Along the way we picked up a lone odst who was separated from his squad. In the weeks we held off waves of flood the lone wolf was injured. Eventually Tucker showed up and saved our asses. Jump cut to present time on the pelican the pilot said hold on it might be a few minutes whe have restart the pelican it is having malfunctioning use the med kit on the wall over there to temporarily pack up your friend. So we did after that badger drew shiny and the lone wolf fell asleep that left me and Rose to talk.

Hey Rose you never did tell me why you wanted to know those things before. As I said that she looked at me for a second the scooted close to me and abruptly leaned in and kissed me. As we kissed the pelican took off and we were head to the forge for reassignment.
