Hell Jumpers (Halo Fan-Fic)

Millan Forn

My name is Millan Forn. Born into a family of farmers, raised in the coutry side. I never imagined being where I am right now, a member of the 10th Shock Troops Battalion. I guess it all started when my planet, Tarvin V, an Outter Colony world, was attacked by the Covenant. It all happened quickly, one day began the invasion, a couple of hours later I was put into the last remaining escape boat, and slowly watched as my planet got glassed by the Covenant Battle Cruisers in high orbit. 

I was only 7 years only when that happened, but the memories are still fresh. Both my parents and sister died that day, me and my brother left to fend for ourselves. Eventually we ended up joining the UNSC, we wanted to take revenge on the aliens for burning down the thing we held closest to out hearts.

And so we joined the UNSC Marine Corps. My brother and I fought in major battles, from Sigma Octanus to Chervill XI. Soon enough, my brother's skill was recognized by an ODST he served with, and thus he was put into training. Years past before I ever saw, even heard from him again. I continued doing my duty, but then there was the one day when I woke up to see a card next to my foot locker. Sent none other by my brother.

"Little bro, I will be shipped off to Reach in a couple of weeks. Damn elites nearly blasted my leg off with a plasma rifle, and i've been in the infirmary for nearly a week now."

The letter ended there. 

Two weeks later I got drafted into the 10th Shock Troops Battalion for saving an ODST in the middle of combat, getting injured in the process.

I might say that it could have been a great day for me, being able to be a member of an elite group of soldiers. Sure, I was not a Spartan, but ODST is good enough.

Training was hell, though. The drill instructers would wake us up in the morning by fireing a full round from an MA5B Assault Rifle, then make us do push ups. All to toughen us up.

Training ended, and I became a fully fledged ODST. 

Not long after that day, the Covenant attacked Reach. We got sent in to defend a key installation that was there. And who else to be there fighting along side me than my brother. Two ODST's, side by side. 

But I should have known that glory would not last long. A hunter came up from behind and crushed my brother, nearly tearing him in half. I had to unload two full clips from my MA5B before that piece of shit went down. But by the time that happened, my brother had died of blood loss.

Its strange to see that happen, to see your entire family killed in front of your eyes. But I kept fighting, earning a service star for my actions in Reach, even though the Covenant eventually glassed the planet like they did to every other one. 

They were now one step closer to Earth. And just some times later, they found Earth, and attacked it.

And this is where I find myself now. Aboard the UNSC Frigate 'Hellfire Revenge' preparing to drop in less than two hours over Old Mombasa.
