"As the battle on the Desert World raged on, the Covenant Units advanced on the lone UNSC Team, Alpha Squad. After 2 years the bloodshed had turned from Battle of two armies, to two factions when the UNSC and the Covenant army moved on. Alpha Squad was the last of the human faction and were against countless numbers of Covenant Soldiers. Even though the odds were stacked completely in the Covenant's favor, they fought hard and true, all the way until the end. This is their story." - Admiral Stanforth Whitcomb

As Pvt. Hunter looked amongst the rest of his comrades, and saw the approaching Covenant in the distance, he began to consider, that they were all Privates, and he needed to take charge, his fellow comrades were beginning to go into shock. He still had his last shred of sanity with him, and he wasn't going to lose it to those goddamned Covenant bastards he thought. He sent Pvt. Jenkins to carry the wounded Pvt. Church to the top of the hill. Although still alive, he was barely hanging in. He'd be lookout from a safe position. Pvt. Jenkins came back, and crouched down, just so he could between a rock on his left and a wall from the ruins on his right, looking through the gap. Pvt. Hunter took his MA6B Pulse Action Assault Rifle by the barrel and drew a plan in the ground. He looked up, "Understand?"

Pvt. Hunter stood with his back to a wall, sighed, and keyed in over their encrypted COM Channel. Pvt. Cowell had did well setting this up, and didn't miss a beat. He was happy to have him with em'. "Alpha team, update every 10 minutes; Hunter out." He waited, gripping his MA6B and began to pray. "Sir, something's coming" Pvt. Church keyed in.

"What is it Private?"

"Sir, 2 Wraiths, coming in fast, looks like they have aerial support in looks like, I'm counting 3...4..9 Banshees sir; Course of action sir?"

"Conceal yourself, find anything; hide amongst the sand if you have to."

"Yes sir, Pvt. Church out"

"Alright Alpha team, time to finish this fight, Church has reported 2 Wraiths and 9 Banshees scouting us. Our plan might not work, we weren't expecting heavy artillery, but they might just make it work." Pvt. Hunter said over the COM. Pvt. McClellan started to stutter over the COM but managed to pull himself together and put together his words of fear "Si... sir, I'm see.. seeing -he gulped- 3 or 4 drop ships, all carrying Hunters, and, I can see one Elite, wearing gold armor, guessing a Commander or Fleet Master."

"Well then, guess we'll have ourselves a real fight then eh?" Jenkins piped in. "Hey McClellan, see anything else through your Oracle Scope? If we survive this I'll give ya’ a good sum of money when we get back to HQ if you take some practice shots at those Hunters."

"Damnit soldiers, pay attention." Pvt. Hunter sputtered. "Pvt. Alexander, you've been quiet. What's wrong?" Hunter paused, and waited 5 seconds. "Alexander, are you there? Report!" Hunter waited 3 more seconds. "Church, get me a fixed location on Alexanders whereabouts, quick!" Just then, Hunter looked up, and saw an elite standing there, mandibles spread wide, looking just like a smirk up some sort. He heard gunfire in the distance, and a wild roar. "Sir, 5 Hunters down, they were unprepared, 3 drop ship loads left. And one pissed off Hunter, lost track of ‘em, probably behind that cliff hiding. And.." the transmission ended with McClellan's screams, and the sound of a wild roar. "Dear lord, what are they doing?" Pvt. Hunter started to sprint up the hill where Church lay hidden. He grabbed his pack from him and began to yell "Church, you never did tell the Lieutenant why the Covenant was focusing on you..." Hunter's eyes widened as he pulled a sphere object from it. He threw it down "CHURCH, YOU FOOL! We were wiped out because of your "heroics" as you might call it." The Elite that Hunter had met earlier looked at the object, stared at the two of the, shot Church in the head, and then Hunter, once in each knee cap. Hunter screamed in agony, crying, looking up, he saw something then mumbled "The other world, it's lovely..." then... a flash of light, and a glimpse of a Covenant Cruiser in the sky, then, everything, gone.
