[quote]Prolouge[/quote] "Are you sure you want to do this sweetie?" My tear-filled mother asked. It was going to be hard for her, since I was the only company she had besides her friend Margaret. "I'm sure. If I can stop the Covenant destroying us, I'll be happy" I whispered to her. More tears streamed out of her eyes as I hugged her. "Don't worry, I'll come home. I won't let the Covenant take another family member away from us". I knew it was venom saying those words, but it although it made painful memories return, it quelled her crying for the moment. She took a deep, shuddering breatheand looked me in the eye."Alright. Go. Make me proud. When you come back bring me a Grunt head" She finished with a smile. I smiled in return, and picke dup my duffle bag. As I walked the four kilometre journey to the nearest UNSC Base, I felt my heart soar. [quote][i]Chapter 1: Meet the ODST[/i][/quote] "Get over here son!" called the voice of the Staff Sergeant. I looked up from the gruesome training every new recruit in the corps received. "You've been chosen for some special training. You've been reassigned to Reach". Reach. Home of the UNSC's military core. The home of all the weapons and ships we could muster. Wondering why I had been re-assigned, I got up quickly and travelled to my room. My 3 roommates were out training. I wondered what my roommates would think when they got back. Probably grateful that there wasn't another person in the small room for the night. Sighing, I gathered up my small amount of personal belongings and put them in my backpack. As I left the room and walked down the empty hallway, I heard someone grunting in annoyment. I peered into the room, and saw another recruit closing a suitcase. "Need a bit of help?" I asked. After the suitcase was closed, He gave me his thanks. "Why are you leaving?' I asked him. He told me he had been re-assigned to reach. As I exited the room, I muttered to him "See you on the flight out". I left him in a state of confusion. When I arrived back at the training grounds, a tall man in jet black armour stood next to the sergeant. His head was covered by a dark helmet, matching his armour. "So this is the boy?" he said dryly. The sergeant nodded. "This is him. You ready to go kid?" he asked me. I nodded quickly. The sergeant laughed. The man in black armour gestured for me to follow him. As we walked towards the transport, I heard several marines whisper something about an ODST. I wondered what that meant. As we approached the Transport, I noticed the other solider with the suitcase was with us. I waved in his direction. The man in black armour nodded. "You better get to know one of your new teammates". Later that night we boarded a UNSC frigate, christened [i]Lunar Sunshine[/i]. I read up on the ODST's and learnt that they were the elite soldiers of the UNSC. Something a simple city kid would never achieve in their lifetime. And that was me. A young 17 year old metropolis kid who had heard the horrible incidents that occurred on Harvest, Green hills and all the other outer colonies. As we left Earth's atmosphere, I knew that my life would change forever. [Edited on 05.30.2012 1:41 AM PDT]
