When Fire Fell From The Sky[Chapter 1&2]
Chapter one
[2526 3rd of February. Planet:Harvest.]
Looking into the night sky Sergeant Adian Priest stood on the spot where his wife died. Looking into the stars wondering if his wife felt pain before she died. It seemed so long ago that he was in love.
He was fresh out of the marines. She was a nurse who gotten a good job offer out on Harvest. Soon both of them found jobs. He joined with the local police force. Soon was put in charge of a Tactical Response Unit. His team were well trained for counter terrorist, hostage situations and contraband seizures.
Both of them had spent three years on Reach before the unthinkable happened. The Covenant Invasion of Harvest. Yet it was not them who killed his wife. It was a man who he swore to bring to justice.
He brought one plastic rose, laying it on the spot where his wife died. His face was full of grief as he remembered that last day together. His helmet radio came to life."Alpha Wolf this is Black Wolf two-four, You OK ?" He brushed the tears away. "Copy Alpha Wolf is heading back to the den." He left the broken street where a medical clinic stood.
His black tactical armor had seen extensive use. It hid him as he slipped away in the night. Rubble lay every where as he traversed this wasteland. As he left New Athens business district staying in the darkness. Yet he could not stop the flood of memories from the past.

[Chapter 2] [Harvest February 4th,2525. Kazan Plains] Adian Priest had slept little as the sun crept over the mountains far to the east. His mind in turmoil as he watched his wife die in his arms. Also a team member was dead. Both his fault. The news was bad all over. New Athens had become one of many cities to burn on Harvest. Most of Harvest was undeveloped. It was being used for Agriculture. NAPD tower had been hit as well from reports of surviving police officers. Pelicans would fly in dropping off wounded survivors or those who needed a ride back to get the wounded out. In this camp were about twenty or so NAPD officers who managed to get out or were rescued by the UNSC. Others who made it out were being directed to other camps or places that would be safe for the time being. UNSC forces were too few to halt the enemy juggernaut. Even so they were trying to rescue as many as possible before the enemy overran everything. All he could think about was to go out rescue some survivors. His attention was here with the Doctor. Captain White placed a hand on his shoulder." Sergeant when was the last time you ate. ?" reaching out a hand to the sitting man. Taking the Captains hand Adian got up awkwardly stiff bruised and beat up from yesterday. " I ..do not remember." White patted his back." I have a plan on what we are going to do. You can count on the fact i too have been up all night listening to reports." They both walked to the Captains tent. An orderly set out some orange juice with two MRE's. Captain White looked tired but his face did not show it too much. Both of them sat down to eat the meal. Adian did not even know what it taste like." You are a good leader. Right now that's what those men need. I looked up your file. Four years in the marines. Three with NAPD as a S.W.A.T team member. Allot of good comments from the Captain and Lieutenant who said you were the best of the best. I am sorry to say you are now in Command of whats left of NAPD. The rest are dead or too wounded to take command." Adian simply ate understanding the situation. Adian finished set the empty MRE aside." I want to get survivors out after we talk with the Doctor. I will do what i can to help out the UNSC." Captain White leaned back with a face full of worry." So do i, but the enemy is not making it easy. Currently i am trying to get out any Civilians out of New Athens. I would like you to head to the NAPD tower to find out where any survivors are. Emergency services are linked there so you should have no problem in finding out the situation. It will be a hot L.Z. when you go in. Good thing is you will have support from Marines." Adian sat back in his chair with the orange juice drinking it slowly as both men listened to the Com chatter over by a near by radio.Each man thinking over all that happened. Adian knew that what they did now would mean survial for every one against these Alien invaders. [Edited on 08.29.2012 1:05 PM PDT]
