Chapter One
Prologue
(Sorry if this chapter is kind of short……..)
Corporal Tyler Jones was cleaning his MA5B aboard the UNSC destroyer Johnson when the call for ODSTs came in from New Mombasa. Tyler quickly reassembled his rifle and dressed in the usual black ODST armor.
He ran to Hell’s Waiting Room, as the ODSTs called it. In the room contained 400 pods, each with a troopers name on it.
Tyler got to his pod as the other 399 troopers got there. Tyler strapped into the pod and checked his weapons. He had his standard MA5B assault rifle with 15 clips for it and his silenced SMG with 10 clips for it.
He also had his trusty M6 Socom Magnum with 5 clips for it. He looked at the timer at the top of his pod and it was reaching the 20 second marks.
He braced himself for the drop. 5….4….3….2….1….0. All the pods plummeted from the destroyer and started going down to New Mombasa. Tyler looked out his viewport and saw a Covenant carrier about to make a Slipspace jump. Tyler’s eyes widened and he yelled to his squad leader, Alex, over the radio.
“Dude, That carrier is going to suck US in with it! Tyler heard Alex yell to other squad leaders about it and Alex came back to the radio.
“Dude, USE YOUR ROCKET FUEL TO GET AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS POSSIBLE!” Alex yelled.
Tyler yelled back, “OK!”
Tyler hit the button to activate the two fifty gallon tanks of extra rocket fuel. He started moving away from the carrier and suddenly he heard a loud sonic boom.
Alex yelled, “IT JUMPED AND WE ARE GETTING SUCKED IN!
Alex started to say anything else, but he was sucked into the collapsing Slipspace portal. Tyler felt his pod start spinning and heading for the portal. He started to yell, but his head slammed against the side of his pod and he was knocked unconscious.
