Chapter 1: Forces Joined
"Gentlemen!" the old vampire announced, "This is the dawn of a new era! Now that we have gained control of the alien race known as the Covenant, we can take over this world and the next!"
"Kain," a large red creature who used to be a man called, "Once I get the Zarok spell book from my quarters in Kensington, we can also create an army of the undead as well."
"Very good, Palethorn, that be our first accomplishment." Kain agreed.
"Two armies!" a metallic monster exclaimed, "We will be unstoppable!"
"Calm yourself Rez," Kain said softly, "First we will send a Covenant force to Kensington and retrieve the Zarok spell book."
Then the three bad guys laughed maniacally in unison.
While in cryo-sleep, the Master Chief suddenly disappeared. He woke when he hit a hard ground. He slowly worked his way into a standing position.
'Where am I?' he thought.
The place was barren. It had a crumbling palace in the distance and cliffs surrounding it and him.
"Where am I?!" he yelled to no one.
But someone answered, "Nosgoth."
He turned and grabbed his assault rifle from his belt, aiming it at the strange blue creature.
"Who and what are you?" Master Chief interrogated, "Covenant?"
"Covenant?" he chuckled, "No. I am Raziel. A soul reaver."
"Soul reaver?" Master Chief thought it was a joke.
"You mock me?!" Raziel's tone grew harsh, "No matter, you are about to perish anyway."
He lunged at Master Chief and he readied his gun towards Raziel, when a heavy body fell on top of the both of them.
Master Chief sprang up and aimed his gun at the intruder. Raziel crouched into an attack position.
It was a skeleton. He stood up and brushed himself off. He had one right eye, no jaw and wore knight's armor. When he saw the Chief and Raziel, he held up his hands and said in an odd voice, "Don't shoot!" When he spoke, it sounded like he was slobbering all over himself, but he was a skeleton and could not.
"I'm Sir Daniel Fortesque." He said, "I've come to fight the battle with you!"
"What battle?" Raziel asked easing out of his position.
"The big battle! The bad guys united and we must stop them! The Almighty Player commands it!"
"What are you babbling about?" Master Chief asked lowering his gun.
"Who is your sworn enemy?" Sir Dan asked him.
"The Covenant." He answered with no hesitation.
"You?" he pointed at Raziel.
"Kain."
"And mine is Palethorn. They have all joined forces and is going to take over our world!"
"What is this?" said a voice from behind, "Night of the Living Dead or Robocop?"
Everyone turned to see a large gecko standing on two legs.
Master Chief raised his gun again, Raziel got back into his position and Dan drew his sword.
"Hey, hey, no offense. I'm Gex. I heard what the skeleton dude was saying. That means if I'm here, Rez is in the plot too."
"Rez?" Sir Dan questioned.
"Yeah, really creepy metal guy. You don't wanna meet him."
"Okay then," Master Chief said, "If we're here to stop our villains, then let's go. I can call the UNSC to bring us a Warthog and-"
"You are going to call for a pig?!" Raziel said getting raged with aggravation.
"Temper, temper." Gex teased.
"A Warthog is a vehicle, a car." Chief explained.
"Car?" Raziel and Sir Dan said in unison.
Gex laughed as Chief explained again, "A mobile transportation device. It's a lot faster than walking."
"No, let's walk." Dan suggested. "We want to sneak up on them. It sounds like those things are loud."
"Wait, we don't even know where they are!" Gex said.
"I know Nosgoth like the back of my hand. I can lead us through." Raziel boasted.
They argued for a while until Master Chief yelled, "Fine! Who's ever area we are in, that's who will decide the way and our means of transportation."
Everyone turned to Raziel. He said, "Where are we headed."
"Palethorn, I know he'll head back to Kensington for his spell book." Dan said, "He's going to try and make an undead army. Kensington will be to the east."
"Good. Eastward then." Raziel said and began to walk. The rest followed.
