Somewhere above Africa.

We recieved orders that the covenant had touched down in New Mombasa, we're the last line of defense against these alien bastards. Dont know what good we're gonna do. Shit, even the MAC guns couldnt stop 'em, what chance do we have?

"ODST's load up and head to your Pods"

At least we get some new toys to play with. ONI really knows how to build a gun, these new M7's are pretty sweet and the M6G's they modded for us aint half bad either. Better grab a couple of grenades too, maybe a shotgun aswell. You know, for close encounters...

"ODST squads Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta head to your pods."

Still cant see why we gotta go down there. I mean i'm up for combat as much as the next guy and he's pretty gung-ho but this things fitted with HAVOK nukes. It'd save a lot of time and lives if we just dropped a couple and blasted those alien bastards away. But I guess the top brass dont wanna use up their expensive toys. Ugh, I hate those damn pods. No room to move, barely enough space to breathe. Its like they're stuffing us into coffins. Saves money i guess.

"ODST's hurry up damnit theres a war going on down there and you dont wanna miss it"

Sounds like the A.I getting pissed, heh, whats he gonna do? launch me outta the ship? I always get a weird feeling when the pods door shuts and things go dark. Its like I know I aint coming back but I do, always. This time feels different though...

"Pods launching in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Have fun boys and girls"

Good thing I got an iron stomach or i'd throw up and that aint fun when your wearing a helmet. The outer shell's burned off, I can see new mombasa, damn. The covenant really tore this place apart. Its sort of beautiful though.

"Ok people, standard procedure. Kill everything that aint human"

"Hell yeah. Feet first into hell baby!"

"Ooh-rah"

"Troops, open your your chutes"

I pull the lever, nothing happens, I pull it again and again. The chute wont open. I'm gonna hit the ground at over a hundred. There wont be enough left for a funeral, no open casket for me.

"Sarge, my chute wont open"

"You sure?"

"Yeah i'm sure"

"I'm so-"

I shut the comm off. What good are apologies now? I'm actually suprised at how calm I am. Maybe its the sun setting behind the city, sure does look beautiful.
my name is halonut117, says so on me birth certificate, but i dont really do much halo stuff so i thought i'd jump on the ODST bandwagon.
