Viper's Team and Past

Summer Solstice, Cafeteria

August 23, 2552

As Viper grabbed his tray of food and went to the far corner of the cafeteria, some of the civilians and soldiers were staring at him, either in awe or fear. 'Of course this would happen'. Viper thought. Ever since the first Spartan 3 entered the war, most people saw them as invincible soldiers, while the rest saw them as ONI pets. As Viper was eating, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around to see a 17 year-old man and a 6 year-old girl holding trays of food.

The older one asked, "Excuse me, but is it ok me and my sister sit here? All the other tables are full," Viper said nothing, but nodded, allowing them to sit across him. Normally he would politely say no, but since he had a soft spot for kids, he made an exception.

As they ate in peace, the girl asked Viper, "Where are we going, mister?"

Viper stopped eating and said, "We're going to a place where the covenant won't find us."

After a couple of minutes he finished his meal and put the tray on top of a table and looked for his teammates somewhere on the ship. After wandering the ship for 30 minutes, he found Marcus bench pressing twice his own weight. 'Something tells me that some people tried to tell him not lift that much, but he's hard headed like that."

He knows that Marcus, once his mind is set to it, it's almost impossible to persuade him, but when he’s with his team, he's calm and cool, even in the most dangerous situation. This was proven when a covenant army charged an evacuation site and the only support was 6 scorpions and 12 warthogs. They were able to stop the covenant long enough to get all the colonists off world, but when a scarab showed up, Marcus grabbed a couple of grenades and boarded the scarab and destroyed it before it could shoot down the evac birds, saving everyone onboard. The armor he wears is a recon with the color red and silver highlights and his rank was a Brigadier.Marcus carries a M392 DMR and a M6D pistol and has sprint,making him the team runner.

As Viper continued to look for the rest, he found Andrew and Ryan in the ship hanger talking to each other. Ryan was timid around new people, like the team when he first join, but afterward, he warmed up to them,he wears a white eod armor and has a warrant officer insignia on his chestplate and uses armor lock. he carries a MA37 assault rifle and a rocket launcher.Andrew was the more quiet type of person, but isn't afraid to speak his mind once and a while. Andrew has the rank of captain and wears a dark orange cqc armor with a evade armor ablility and carries a BR55 battle rifle and a M45 tactical shotgun,making him the team the close quarters combat expert. They are the perfect pair when it comes to fighting.  They're both experts in demolition and hacking. They would be seen working together in any type of scenarios. He gives a quick hello and went to look for the rest of them.

He walked to the hangar and saw a group of civilians and soldiers in a circle surrounding someone, so he went in that direction and saw what the commotion was about. Viper saw Brandon and Blake arm wrestling each other. Brandon was a smart mouth and Blake was lazy, but when given orders, they both do it without hesitation. Brandon is a Commander ,wears a ODST armor with the color gray and has a jet pack.He carries a SRS99C sniper rifle and two M6D pistol.Blake, As a sergeant, wears a forest green operator armor and uses a hologram ablilty and uses a M45 shotgun and a M6D pistol. Even though they are partners, they will try to prove they are stonger to the others.As Viper got closer he heard one of Brandon's smart mouthed comments.

"After I win I’m going to find 100 Blake look a like, put them in a room and throw you the world's creepiest surprise party," he said as he pushed more onto Blake’s arm.

Meanwhile

As Pinkie Pie was closing up shop, her hair became frizzy for some unknown reason. Twilight knocked on the door and saw her hair.

"What happened to your hair?" She asked.

"My Pinkie sense is telling me that somepony is throwing a party without me," Pinkie says.

"So I guess this is one of your new senses, huh?" Twilight asked. Pinkie only nodded.

Back on the ship.

As Viper left the other two to their little game, he found Jaeden and Alex holding back Luke from hitting an O.D.S.T in the face. Alex was a Major and a scout of the team. He was also smarter than any other Spartans in the U.N.S.C in the war. He is known to use the enemies’ weakness to his advantage. Alex wears a E.V.A armor with the color dark brown and has active camo and sports a modified assault rifle,which uses plasma infused rounds, and a longed barrel battle rifle. Luke and Jaeden were the two new soldiers in his team.  Jaeden, a private, wears a Grenadier armor and has a dark yellow color. he uses a M319 grenade luancher and smg, he has a heart of gold and will never leave anyone behind.  Luke was known to get angry when someone makes fun of his team or tries to hurt them . Luke wears a military police and was a lieutenant colonel. he uses a prototype smg which fires heated 5mm round that burns armor and skin upon contact and a pistol that uses semi or three round burst.  after breaking up the fight, he left.

He started to look for Callie, the team’s medic and comms officer.she wears a air assault armor with the color sky blue. her weapons is two experimental smg that fires 5mm plasma laced rounds.Callie was free spirited to a dangerous degree, like when it’s a new vehicle she will take it for a test drive, mostly ending up breaking it. She is known to go insane once provoked.

The rest of the team tends to avoid her when it happens. He found her in the armory, cleaning her weapons with a smile that could rival the Joker’s, sending a shiver down his spine. Viper left without making a sound.

Then there was him. When he was an 8 year-old when he appeared at a couple’s doorstep, they took him in and called him their own son. A year later the covenant attacked the planet he was on. In order to save him, they put him under a bunch of debris before a pack of brutes came in and killed them. After that they ate the bodies while he watched. When two marines found him he was shaken to his core. When ONI gave him a choice to fight them, he didn't give them a second to say anything. the day before he got his augmentation, he asked for the spartan 2 augmentation, this dumbfounded the scientist, but given him the spartan 2 augmentation,thinking that having another spartan 2 could help push the war into their favor, in which he survived. he wears a Hayabusa armor and has the commander insignia on his chestplate. his weapon of choice also dumbfounded ONI, he uses a WW2 era mosin-nagant sniper, which fires a explosive 7.62 mm round and a silenced smg,used by ODSTs when dropped behind enemy lines.

In 2549, he was a survivor of Arcadia. He was diagnosed with P.T.S.D after the battle. He doesn't know his real family, only thing was a small necklace with the letter 'A.J and Big M' was etched into it. After a while he felt the ship shake, telling him they exited slip space. He then heads to the bridge, putting the necklace away, hoping to find answers about his past.
