Eric Nylund

            The last of the Halo series, is halo first strike.  It's about Master Chief and is aid Cortana. They both escape the destruction of Halo, were they are stuck in a Longsword fighter in space. Soon they find more survivors including Sgt. Johnson an ODST named Cpl. Locklear, and a Pelican drop ship. While there waiting patiently in space they come upon an Covenant Fleet. Master Chief sees an opportunity of escaping instead of dying out in space, and that crazy plan leads to intercepting a Covenant cruisers but not any cruiser but the Covenants flagship. 

              

                So they decided they are going to half to capture the flagship. As Cortana pilots the Longsword the other pilot flies the Pelican right at the flagship. Cortana crashes into a hanger an it becomes a blazing firefight. Eventually Master Chief gets to the bridge and encounters the commander of the fleet. They fight hand to hand and Master Chief finally knocks him out. While that is happening, Cortana gets into the Ascendant Justice systems were she hacks in.She immediately cuts air off in some sections of the ship to kill all the enemy's inside. They commandeer the ship while the rest of the Covenant fleet watches, because they have orders not to fire on their own flag ship. Soon Cortana mans the ship and goes into slipspace heading to Reach because they got his weird distress call. 

 

              As the Chief comes out of slipspace he lands on the surface of  the planet were the distress signal was found. Soon he discovers a team of Spartans and  Vice Admiral Whitcomb. Whitecomb tells the Chief that Dr. Halsey is trapped underneath Menachite Mountain, cause of Covenant forces and search parties looking for any survivors. As Chief and his Spartans were getting ready to rescue Dr. Halsey,Whitcomb places and sets a thermonuclear mine. The chief and his Spartans rescue Halsey, and also a few extra Spartans. Soon when Chief and the rest return to the Ascendant Justice, Cortana informs them that the Covenant accidentally discovered the location of Earth and is plotting an armada of ships to invade Earth and destroy it within weeks. The Chief and his Spartans are going to half to decide to either ignore it or make a first strike.
