Rule 1: Enjoy reading

Rule 2: Keep an open mind

Rule 3: If you comment about something wrong in my writing you must describe what was wrong and a solution or solutions for it. I'm trying to improve my writing and you just saying it sucks with no reason is pointless to me and I will ignore you.

That's all the rules for now until more comes to mind.

Ruined city Edinos

Sgt Jones looked around to see all her men were ready to move out as they held their weapons tightly. Seeing the ready squad Zack returned to them as the area was clear of hostiles. She was about to give out orders when a transmission came through on her HUD screen.

"Sgt, this is Professor Anders. I will be your communicator between you and Zack for our time together. He can hear and understand what you are saying but in his current form he can't talk back to you. I will tell you what he has to say and send any video feed he wants send, to you" she finished

"Understood. Alright squad let's move out. We got a lot of killing to do and maybe some people to save" called out Jones taking lead into the ruin city.

The city was filled with gunfire and explosions along with rubble everywhere you looked. Not a single building was left fully intact. Even the roads were barely distinguishable from dirt roads with all the broken-down rocks and sand covering it. But it did help mask the noise of their boots moving across the ground. Walking with caution and silently they came across their first enemy patrol consisting of 3 elites and 8 grunts.

"Zack be ready to flank on my signal if things get bad" whispered Sgt as he nodded and ran back towards a building and jumped onto the wall latching his claws into it. In another leap he was on the roof heading off into a different direction.

"Williams get some high ground and aim for the elite with your sniper. Davis, Wilson go with her" ordered Jones pointing to a building near them. Williams seeing a good advantage point at a blown-out window nodded and ran off inside with the other two following behind. "Jenkins, Braunston behind the car. And Braunston if things get messy be prepared to use that rocket launcher. Rest of you with me" she finished as they got behind cover a different set of cars and rubble. Once in place her radio flare on with "Williams here. I'm in position with sites on the farthest elite."

"Alright everyone fire on my mark" ordered Sgt grabbing a grenade. "Mark!" she yelled throwing a grenade in the middle of the group at the same time as a 'CRACK' sound going off.

A round tore through one of the Elite's head sending it crumbling to the ground as the enemy group watched in shock before hearing a 'TING' sound and spotting the grenade. Realizing what it was they all reacted as fast as they could and dived out of the way. The two elites with their agile reflexes rolled out of the way while the grunts did their best to belly flop jump out of the way. The explosion went off killing 4 grunts and knocking out the shields for the elites.

"Open fire!" yelled the Sgt firing into the remaining as the others followed suit. The elites dived into cover with the grunts following except for one who got shredded by gun fire. They had them suppressed for a while before plasma fire was returned in their direction. This continued up to a minute before a squad of elites came up to the remaining two elites now reinforcing them.

"Dammit" yelled Sgt ducking to avoid the now massive amount of plasma fire only to see Carmine next to him not ducking as fast and got slightly burned from plasma on his shoulder but still combat ready. Brown was laid down prone firing shots between his cover taking out another two more grunts and a elite

"Phantoms inbound" yelled Davis from the building before a large plasma round from the ship smacked into their building causing the floor the three were on to collapse and drop them on the ground floor. Quickly getting up they managed to dive behind the cover of a wall before they could be picked off. Hovering above the enemy squad was a Covenant transport ship that the UNSC were getting use to seeing. It was their equivalent of the pelican.

"Shit, Core you're up. Carmine take care of your wound behind cover" yelled the Sgt throwing another grenade to give him some time as the phantom starting to reinforce the enemies with grunts and jackals. Core pulling the rocket launcher off his back, toke aim, and fired 2 rockets at the phantom. They each smacked into the side causing a lot of damage but not enough to take it down. The phantom turned to the side to show an elite holding a sniper rifle. Firing a single shot the round went straight through Braunston's rocket launcher destroying it in a small explosion sending a bit of scrap metal into him. "Braunston!" yelled Jenkins grabbing him as he fell on his back.

"I'm good. SNIPER, WATCH OUT!" he warned taking out his battle rifle

"Dammit that was our heavy weapons!" the Sgt yelled before seeing another 2 phantoms approaching. Before she could comment on them a trail of rounds smacked into the already damaged phantom generators sending the phantom into an explosion as the wreckage fell on a nearby building. Following where the rounds came from, they saw Zack standing on top of a building's roof. From slots on his back 6 missiles were ejected into the air before taking off toward the approaching phantoms followed by a trail of rounds. The rounds and missiles slammed into them both sending them to their graves in a explosion.

Zack looking down at the Covenant forces fighting the squad aimed his Gatling guns at them and firing a trail of rounds. They stood no chance as he could see them behind their cover from his vantage point and when they tried to flee, they were easily mowed down by him and the squad. Before Sgt. could give her thanks to Zack her radio turned on with a voice.

"Sgt. you have a massive number of enemies approaching your position. Intel suggest they are going to investigate the crashes. Zack will stall until you reach your new objective" spoke Dr. Anders as Sgt. watched the wolf jump off into the distance and her tab lit up with a new location to head to with info.

"Alright everyone we need to head out now. Command has given us a few vehicles to reach a new destination. Regroup and move out" yelled the Sgt. making the remainder of his team rush to him as three pelicans slowed down over head carrying two aching gun turret and a passenger warthog. Excluding him, he had four members of his team still left alive. Their new objective was to regroup with remaining USNC forces to provide protection to a point of interest at the other side of the city.

With Zack

Running across the street towards a slowly approaching convoy he locked on to the leading ghost which was the Covenant's standard patrol vehicle and fired his Gatling guns shredding into it. Not stopping his firing, he trailed it to the nearby walking forces eliminating them and followed by the wraith which was the Covenant's main battle tank. The covenant forces returned fire at him to which he dodged to the side avoiding all the fire as he ran along the ruined sidewalk. Two banshees the Covenant's main fighter aircraft and a phantom tried to close in on him from the side only for four rockets to eject from him. One smacked into each of the banshee's destroying them as they fell onto the phantom the same time the last two missiles hit the phantom destroying them all in a fireball of explosions.

Closing in on the convoy he started ripping through them with his guns, teeth, and claws not caring if they were all killed, or if he missed them completely. He only wanted to cause damage and stall which was what he did. Running past the wrecked convoy and outside the city into the distance he stopped on a cliff to survey the area. Looked down at eight alien structures with a covenant ship hovering above.

"Zack where are you heading and what are you thinking?" questioned Dr. Anders

Bridge of Spirit of Fire

"Zack do you intend to take on a well defended covenant base?" Asked Dr. Anders before she saw a message from Zack appear on her screen.

: Nuke requested:

"What? Admiral!" She stated looking over her shoulder at Capt. Cutter who was looking at the message as well. "Granted. Send a nuke to Zack's coordinates on a pelican" he ordered

"Admiral!" Shouted Dr. Anders in shock. "I trust him. If Spartans can do it then, so can he. Plus, I have another objective for him while he is on that ship" he answered giving the authorization to Serina to hand the package. At the launch bay a pelican was being loaded with a nuke in the cargo compartment before being sent down in a rapid speed to Zack's location as Cutter explained his plan.

Jenkins POV

Right after the pelicans dropped of their rides they take off through the city in a small convoy. Chain guns in the front and rear with the passenger vehicle in the middle. It was pure luck that they rank into no tanks but only a few small patrols and patrol vehicles that spray of rounds and speed made it easy for them. But according to command they were supposed to link up with other squads towards this priority target, but they ran into none. That was not a good sign. Plus they were getting close to the destination as some of the scenery was turning from buildings to trees.

Zack POV

Strolling back and forth he was waiting for the pelican to reach his location as he saw the Spirit of Fire and her two escorts creep closer. It only took a few more minutes but now he can see the pelican hovering above him as it slowly lowered down. The back of the pelican ramp opened to show two marines at the edge of the door setting up the cables and making sure it would hold the grey rectangular metal box.

"Dr. Anders said to lower it down onto him. It would lock onto his body automatically through a magnetic lock" yelled a marine as Zack staid in place to make sure it locked onto a great spot. The marine pressed a button on a device which slowly lowered it down to Zack's back. The nuke had finally reached Zack and locked into place in the middle of its armored back. The hooks unlatched from the nuke allowing Zack to quickly adjust to the added weight before he took off down the road toward the enemy Covenant base. Getting closer he could see the Covenant prepare for his assault before his comm went off with Dr. Anders on the line.

"Zack, we have an emergency distress call from your previous group concerning their priority mission. Hurry this up so you can assist them!" she snapped. Hearing this he kicked up his speed a notch. Coming closer to the enemy shield barrier a massive amount of plasma rounds came down upon him forcing him to dodge what he could and what he couldn't his shields toke it in. A large plasma round smacked dead in front of him causes a cloud of dust before he jumped right through it with a burst speed. Right after he pasted through the shield barrier it allowed him to fire back with vengeance. Compartments all over his body armor opened shooting out numerous of small missiles striking all over the Covenant base and forces causing massive amounts of explosions. Turning his Gatling guns on he aimed for the generators sending it up in explosions causing the wrecked Covenant Spire to shake as the shields went off.

Spirit of Fire Bridge

Once seeing the shields go down Cutter gave the order to unleash a massive but quick bombardment at the spire and ship before retreating the fleet to a safe distance.

Zack POV

Laying low as the area was smacked with a bombardment from his fleet, he waited until it was finished before making his next move. Finding a hole in the barely standing structure he jumped inside and killed his way to a landing pad while detaching strange small circular devices along his path. The Landing pad on the top allowed the transportation of troops and supplies to and from the Covenant cruiser through the power of a strange lift. Jumping into the middle of the pad he tensed hopping the lift would work before he was lifted off his feet and into the air towards cruiser.

"Good work Zack. Once you get inside you are going to want to head to the center of the ship. It would cause the most damage and get what we talked about. I don't care how you do it, but we need that engineer" spoke Dr. Anders

Inside Covenant Cruiser

Landing in the storage bay with a soft thud Zack immediately jumped to the side to prevent others from noticing his presence. Activating a device parts of his armor plating outline and joints of his started glowing a light blue.

"Your anti-gravity and shock suppressors have been activated. It should make traveling through places a lot smoother and stealthier. But it also increases the weight upon yourself in compensation so be careful" warned Dr. Anders. Zack sending her an acknowledgement continued by leaping through the halls of the ship in complete silence. The only trace of him being there was an indent of his footprint. It was amazing to see him run through the halls without anyone noticing him. Using this chance Dr. Anders also started to record every sighting that his visor captured. More data means more funding after all. Once he got deeper into the center the ship the number of aliens crossing through the halls started to increase at a high rate. It was only a matter of time before he was caught.

Stepping into the shadow near a corridor he watched as grunts walked past him ignoring the lights on his armor thinking its part of the ship. 'Are all grunts really that stupid' was the thought flying through his head before an elite was walking past him a released a startle yelp. Acting quick before he could cause a scene he latched onto his neck with his teeth and with a swift tug he snapped his neck. Unfortunately, that was all that was needed as everyone noticed him and started firing at him. Sprinting down the halls firing his Gatling guns he continued a little deeper until he found the perfect area to place the nuke. What looked to be some type of prisoner holding blocks.

Smashing a pad to open a door he opened the door for the holding cell he saw elite holding an energy sword standing in the middle of the room. To the left he saw that he was guarding a cell that was being worked on by two engineers which strangely contained a female wear the clothes of a standard scientist having short brown hair and eyes, and a very light brown skin. Facing the Elite, he kicked back destroying the entry pad for the door locking the entrance down.

Releasing a roar in a form of a challenge the elite charged at him with his energy sword held high. Crouching low he waited until he was close enough before leaping at him once he was within 10 meters slamming the elite on his back with a pounce. The elite brought his sword up only for Zack's paw to slap it away from his grip. Using that brief opening a dagger activated on his wrist to which he used to stab at him towards his head. Dodging his head to the side it only slashed the side of his face over his right eye cutting through to his visor and injuring him a bit. Roaring in pain he slammed his paw down on that arm making cracking sounds as the elite was now yelling in pain.

Snapping at the elite's neck he gripped it with a tight hold before he gave it a mighty few yanks only to stop when he heard a snap. Keeping the body in its grip he tossed the body over his shoulder as it hit the wall with a thud. Turning away from the corpse he walked over to an empty cell he placed the nuke inside and arming it. Seeing that his primary task is down he turned to the two floating but frighten engineers.

"I'm resetting your suit to hold them" spoke Dr. Anders as his twin guns collapsed in to connect to each other before turning and holding next to his back horizontally closer to his back. From his shoulder armor parts moved from the side revealing a device contain a few small holes on it. In a quick burst of pressure two darts shot out and struct the two aliens in the neck putting them to sleep. Walking up to them he rolled to his side allowing for his back to magnetized to their floating devices before standing up to adjust to their weight.

Once he had the two fully readjusted on his back he moved over to the scientist's cell. Slashing the panel holding up the barrier for the cell he disabled it allowing the doctor to come walking out in a stun trance.
