.:. Halo 3: ODST .:.
Dedicating this post to the recently released Halo 3 ODST, a game i sooo wanna get but because of A-Levels i cant (again...).
Earth, no loner as solitude as it used to be, now has covenant feet all over it. Events on the ring world Halo 2 has led them here, and now its a fight for the artifact, lying deep within the city, New Mombasa. The situation down on the soil is getting hot, its a fight they cant lose, a fight on their homeground that they must win. And now, the best is called into action...
The engines roar as Black Inforce Orbiter cruises amongst the clouds. In the Drop Bay, they wait in their pods for the launch command, while their commander give them a pre-fight preps. They have been hand-picked, intensively trained, posessing skills close to their genetically-enhanced superiors the Spartans, they are the Orbital DropShot Troopers(ODST), aka Helljumpers. Their purpose, to "jump" into hell to provide reinforcements to their comrades in the heat of battle.
Reg fiddled in his pod uncomfortably, eager to get into action. He heard the commander pod's door slam shut, meaning its time. The battle coordinator's voice rang thru the bay,"Launch is a go." The commander screamed into the comm,"Time's now. Giv em Hell!" Before Reg could reply, he heard the latch above his head went click, followed by the thousands of Gs acting on his body.
Pods flew out from the bottom of the Orbiter, like flies dotting the sky. Reg's pod start to shake, as it experiences friction with the atmosphere. The cooling agent on the outer surface of the pod sizzled in the heat. It was his first mission, but given the urgency of the situation, rookies are still soldiers. He peered out the visor infront of him, all the black pods are now a flary red, shooting downwards like stars. Suddenly, the pod infront of Reg exploded in a mass of blue flame. They are now helpless against the covenant anti-air fire, but that was part of what they are taught, they would be lucky if they were to even touch ground. Even so, sweat trikled down Reg's face. In the midst of the blue plasma bolts, Reg spotted the covenant mothership, its gleaming silver surface standing out in the orange horizon.
Suddenly, a blue ball appeared infront of it, and growing. The mothership was immediately engulfed in it, a slipstream jump. The covenant must have found what they wanted, and ran. But the blue ball kept expanding, something Reg was not prepared for. The ODSTs are in trouble. While too small to be able to slipstream jump, the distortion in space could throw them severely off course, apart from scrambling their systems. Reg could only watch in horror as the blue wave approached him. His systems immediately crackled dead upon impact, his pod sent in a spiral by the force. Reg was experiencing more Gs than he was ever prepared for. His last thought was of him wanting to throw up, before he blacked out.
Opening his eyes slowly, Reg found himself still inside his pod. He tugged open the safety belts, gave the pod door a hard punch, sending it crashing to the floor. He was disoriented, but he knew the foremost step to execute upon landing. He picked his silencer rifle, and ran towards the dark. A hovering sound soon came to ears, followed by sight of the covenant cruiser. Its starboard plasma cannons flared, releasing more than enough plasma charge on the pod. Reg crouched in the dark, seeing his pod disintegrating, had he not been fast, that would be him in it. He waited for the cruiser to slide off, before he stood up from his cover. He loaded his rifle with a satisfying click, and now his mission objectives had changed. He had to find his teammates, and survive.
Done. Yay it was fun typing it. I ssssoooooo wana play tis game!!! arrrhhh!!!!
