Halo: 56th Squad (Halo Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Midship

December 9th 2557,
I wake up in the morning and my headache is not hurting as bad as it did.
"Red squad report to sim room A, Blue squad report to sim room B, on the double!" Today is the second battle, and so far everything is going smoothly.

I sat in the simulation chair and closed my eyes.
Then I saw a bright light and all of a sudden I was in Midship!

"Kill the enemy team to score! One life only just like last time! Round start!"

We all started running "Alex go straight for the sword!" Yells Adam.

The sword was on top of a platform in the middle of the ship. Everyone was getting in to there positions just like in the plan, all that was left was for me to get the sword.
SMACK!

A enemy hit me with the butt of his weapon, my energy shields are down!
The enemy solider was running toward me at a alarming rate, I quickly pulled out my magnum and fired it towards him.

"First strike!" Yells the Announcer. 'I have to get the sword!' I thought to myself. I started clambering to the top of the platform, thankfully the sword was still there.

I quickly grabbed it "Guys I have the sword, now what?" I asked the team, mainly Garrick. "Use it! Go slice some people!" Says John.
I looked around the platform and noticed a enemy heading my way! I jumped off the platform and
SLICE!

His head flew clean off!

"Alex, Garrett, anyone! John and I are under fire I repeat we are under fire!" That was Connors voice!
I ran to there location and started firing "Look out!"

3 guys who had Active Camo on sprang out and killed John and Adam! I shot one of them and then Garrick shot another.

"Where's the third guy?!" I asked. I looked around me and saw nothing. "Seriously where?!"I quickly found out the answer when I felt the bullet pass through my chest.
