Hello everyone, I've been MIA for 2 to 3 years now...the last story I typed was 5 years ago, almost 6. To be completely honest, I haven't done a story in a LONG time. I dabbled here and there, but I MIGHT get back into writing stories. Starting with this long dead fan made series of Halo. It's gonna be remade, re-typed, words, bleh. What ever you call this. I'm just gonna say "Redux". Anyways, ONWARD TO THE STORY!

Hell Jumpers: Prologue, Separation

UNSC Savannah

A squad of ODST nicknamed Hidden Dagger or "HD" for short was awaiting orders on the flagship UNSC Savannah. Three people looked at the map. The Covenant super carrier hovered over New Mombasa. One of the soldiers, nicknamed "King" ,African American, black cornrows, brown eyes, and a average build. He had a shotgun next to him along with a BR (Battle Rifle) both was suppressed to signify he was armed to be stealthy. He sighs and crossed his arms.

"Well...the Navy put up a good fight."

His partner next to him, nicknamed "Flak" Caucasian, blonde short hair, blue eyes, and a muscular build playfully punched King and chuckles. He was sitting next to a suppresed assault rifle and rocket launcher, he looked like the demolitions expert.

"Course they did, it's our home turf."

The next guy sitting across from them, solo nicked name "Eagle", Korean American, Black smooth hair, hazel eyes, and a sort of lithe build. He had a suppressed SMG (Sub-machine gun) and Suppressed Sniper rifle, indicating he was a marksman.

"Better late than ever, it seems."

King looked at Eagle and glares at him.

"How about you show some respect, Eagle."

Eagle threw up his hands shrugs.

"I'm just saying, King, they missed one."

Flak chuckles.

"Oh no, that one is for us."

Alarms went off, and the captain, nickednamed "Bark", average looking Caucasian, bald head and brown beard with green eyes. He was armed with a suppressed assault rifle and pistol.

"You know the music, time to get up and dance." He mockingly dance, and a female partner who had dark skin, shot black hair, and beautiful blue eyes. She had a average build to complment her look. She also looked native-american.

"Hello beautiful..." King said looking at the female.

Bark looked at King and "barked" at him. "Pods...NOW." He said in a commanding voice and the three soldiers got up and grabbed their helmets.

"Replacements?" The female asked.

"This late in the war, who isn't?" Bark responded.

"At least they listen-" She began but Bark cut her off.

"To me, and they're not gonna like what their gonna hear-" The female put up a hand.

"Orders are orders, Bark."

"Come on, Shraska...what could be more important than that ship...?"

Shraska poked Bark's chest armor.

"Our orders...and Bark? Call me Kat...I'll pass on that dance. But you CAN show me where to sit." She walks away.

Eagle and Flak looked at the female.

"What the hell kind of armor was she wearing?" Eagle looked at her.

"I don't know, I wasn't looking at her gear..." Flak responded and looked at Eagle's Sniper rifle. "Pfft, really?"

"Well, it's gonna be close quarters..." Eagle said in defense.

Flak took King's shotgun and offered it to Eagle. "Exactly."

Eagle pushed the shotgun away and King took his gun back.

"Damn it, Flak." King punches Flak on his arm in a joking matter. "And how dare you deny this beauty of a weapon." He looked at Eagle who rolls his eyes.

"Second to last, right next to mine." Bark told Kat.

"Cozy...." Flak started. "You gonna tell us her name, Boss man?"

"Miss, Navel Intelligence. Our new boss." Bark stated.

"Oh god...." Eagle said under his breath.

"So check your mouths...find your chairs and get set for a combat drop."

Bark walked away, and went to his pod. King chuckles.

"Well, let's wake up the rookie." King suggested.

Flak and King went to the sleeping rookie, who had his full gear on, helmet and everything. Nicknamed Jazy, None of the guys knew his face outside of ONI. Jazy was sleeping in his pod, his Suppressed SMG and pistol at his sides. Flak grabbed Jazy's head and shakes him.

"Wake up, Rookie. We're deploying soon!" Flak yelled, Jazy flailing comically.

"Gah! It wasn't me!" Jazy exclaimed and Flak sets him down in his pod.

"Relax man. It's just us." Flak offered a fist bump.

Jazy yawns under his helmet and fist bumps Flak. "Jeez, don't do that to me..."

Flak and King laughed and King fist bumped Jazy.

"Sorry man, you was just opened." King chimed in. "But, for real, get ready."

The two walked to their pods and Eagle gives a lazy to finger salute to Jazy. All the soldiers was in their pods and a computerized voice sounded.

"All ODST members, prepare to drop. Repeat all ODST members, prepare to drop."

The entire ship was going crazy, ODST troopers getting in their pods. Jazy was in his pod, it was dark. When the resistant windows switched on they could see the clouds and below, a war torn city. New Mombasa. The pods was re positioned from solid ground to open air, with a LARGE drop. A marine spoke over their communicators.

"We're black and have the plan down packed. Let's drop and rock!"

The comm chatter was going hay wire over with remarks and comments, but HD remained quite composed. The pods had internal lights. One Red light, Three yellow lights, and four green lights. The red light glowed ominously. HD squad and other squads awaiting for it. THe first yellow light glowed, going down towards the last light. The squads anticipated the drop, the yellow light hit, the hearts of everyone raced, nervous, but also excited. The third light hits, everyone closed their eyes and everything went silent for what feels like an eternity. When the yellow lights and red light flickered off and all green went across the board, The pods was released and their was cloud of pods dropping in on New Mombasa. The super carrier was primed for something big as electrical currents gathered around the ship. Kat spoke through the comm.

"Alright, mark the course change."

"What did she just say?" King thought his hearing was off.

"Mark!"

The pods adjusted their trajectory.

"We're WAY off course!" Eagle complained.

"We're headed exactly where I need to go"

"But we're going to miss the carrier."

The super carrier pulsed briefly.

"Radiation!" Flak warned.

"Did the covenant plant a nuke?" King asked.

"No, the carrier is gonna jump!" Kat said as a matter of fact. "It's a slip-space rupture! We gotta-

The ship jumps and a large EMP blast hits most of the pods.

"Losing power! King stated.

"Pop your chutes! We're going in hard!" Bark ordered, but Jazy's pod failed to pop it's chute, and another pod hit his, the pod spinning out of control. Jazy holds on to the sides of the pods, as the very image of his pod spinning made him lose his barrings and everything went black. The start of a bad day.
