HTF Back Stories


"A soul that intrigues the mind, A past that changes your future and covers a darkened secret, Where do I begin with you son of my enemy?"

"No! Sh-shut up! Stay out of my head!"

"Yet you still resist the truth. What you have long forgotten."

Joining the Noble Team

"Hey, hey rookie."One ODST said nudging Tyson some as he tried to sleep.
"Wake up man.” he said before Tyson used his hand to push him off.
"Leave me alone. “he growled as he relaxed in his seat.
"It's time to go.” he told him in a hurt tone. Tyson looked over to him and mumbled as he got up to his feet. The ODST watched him as he headed over to get off the Pelican.
"What is his problem?" he wondered, looking over at a female ODST.
"Don't ask me.” she stated as they got up. Following him out they walked over to a small group of Spartans. They looked over at them as what seemed to be the leader, in a dark blue armor, approached them.
"You must be from the South Sector. Welcome to the group." he told them as Tyson made no gesture to them.
"Sir."The two ODST's saluted to them but Tyson did no motive as the blue armored Spartan looked over to him but said nothing.
"We'll be heading out to locate some rebels. We are waiting for our other two newest members so might as well grab something to eat while we wait.” he told them as the three headed out.
"That guy wasn't very nice."June said as Carter, the blue armored Spartan, looked over to him.
"Must be a Rookie" Jorge stated as Emile shrugged.
"Like I care they all die anyway."
"Emile go see what's taking so long on our new recruitments."Carter ordered. Emile only motioned head as if rolling his eyes before heading off to find out where their location was.
Tyson slowly pulled off his ODST helmet and held it at his side. Rubbing his short hair that needed a hair cut soon, he walked over towards the small food court to get something to eat as the other two ODST's walked up behind them.
"Hey you're not bad looking~" the female said now skipping the other ODST to Tyson.
"Why are you so grumpy? You're too cute to be mean.” she told him as Tyson snarled at her.
"Because it’s women like you who just toy with me. Now leave me alone.” he told her as he grabbed a bottle of water and headed over to the table with his food.
"Just leave him alone.” the male ODST said as she grabbed her food and went over to Tyson.
"Oh come on now. You have to have a better reason." she told him, sitting in front of him now as the other ODST sat down with them.
"You really want to know?"He asked her clearly not amused with this woman before him.
"Yes.” she told him as he ran his finger over his right eye and removed what seemed to be contacts. When he looked at them they saw his purple eye starring at them.
"Oh wow man, that's freaky." the male ODST said as the female kind of sat back from him.
"That explains a lot.” she said.
"Yeah you think?" Tyson said in a cocky tone as she only glared at him.
"Hey man I don't know why people would treat you bad over a different colored eye. Some women find that attractive." she told him Tyson only blinked at her before trying to put the contact back in but she stopped him.
"Keep it off it looks nice on you.” she told him as he stopped. A small blush appeared on his face.
"You....uhh...Think so?"He asked her as she giggled.
"Yeah purple is my favorite color.” she told him as Tyson sunk back now and smiled some.
"Oh my god you made the beast smile.” the male ODST told her, causing her to giggle again.
"There see? No need to get mad over stupid women.” she told him and took a drink of her water.
"Now that you are not grumpy anymore we can get to know each other handsome. ~"she winked to him as Tyson blushed suddenly.
"I can see how a woman can use you so easily." the male ODST chuckled.
"My name is Vixen. What's yours?" she asked him.
"Tyson." he answered.
"And I'm Zack."he grinned before taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Tyson huh?" she said and smiled at him.
"A charming name.” she said as they all ate together.

"Oh what do we have here? A potential lover? I wonder what happened to her."

"No, stop, just stop it...."

"There you are."Carter said as the three ODST's walked over to them seeing two new Spartans in the group. One who had Carter's helmet but his armor was maroon while the pieces to his suit were different while the other a woman. Black armor with a purple detail to it.
"Lets head out.” he told them as they went over to the three Falcons waiting for them. The Two Spartans went with the ODST's as Tyson sat across from them. He watched them as they sat there. As the Falcons took off into the air, Tyson enjoyed the view of Reach.
"Adrain...."he heard as Tyson looked over at the maroon Spartan.
"The name is Adrain." he told him, holding his hand to him. Tyson eyed at him until Vixen lightly whacked him in the leg.
"Don't be rude.” she told him through the coms. Tyson looked back Adrain and reached his hand over.
"Tyson."
"Tyson, nice to have you three on board.” he told him.
"This is Jesca my partner.” he said as Jesca nodded to him.
"I didn't think Spartans were so nice."Zack said as Adrain chuckled.
"Not all of them are but you don't have to worry about us. We have your back" Jesca told them.
"Cut the chatter over there." Carter told them as they reached their mark where the distress signal was coming from.
"I don't see anyone. Pilot lower the Falcons." Carter said as they went down and dropped them off. Going over to a blown up Warthog, they found the object giving off the signal.
"Why would they give off a signal if they're not even here?"Kat wonder as she held the object in her hand. Tyson stood by watching the surrounding area but his eyes glimpsed a movement in the distance. He couldn't tell what it was at first but he swore it seemed like something off a predator movie.
"Guys I think I saw movement over there.” he told them as Carter looked over to Emile.
"Let’s go move ahead, see if w can find anything." Carter stated as they began walking along. Jesca walked along with Adrain as Vixen walked along side Tyson.
"What did you see?" she asked him.
"I don't know what it was, it was like seeing glass move, blending in with the scenery." he told her.
"Huh...sounds like a predator." Zack stated.
"Will you shut up?" Emile said as Tyson glared at him from under his visor.
Walking over a ledge and into a house over a cliff, the house was a wreck as they walked through but the house next door has movement within. Lifting their guns they watched as one man came out with his hands in the air.
"On your knees! Now!"Emile ordered.
"Calm down, they're not rebels." Adrain told him as the man began talking to him in a different language. Tyson watched the group talk once more, not really paying attention to them.
"Hey~." he heard Vixen whisper as his eyes looked over to her.
"I'm getting bored of this. Let’s go on ahead and scout while they talk to this guy.” she said as Tyson thought about this.
"I'm down."Zack said before the two began heading off without the others. Tyson watched them before finally jogging after them. Reaching over to the building up the hill they stopped at the entrance, seeing marines killed inside.
"Oh god..."Vixen muttered.
"Looks like they were tortured." Zack said walking forward to get a better look at them.
"They must have been killed not long ago. Those Spartans should question those civilians some--"Suddenly an energy blade shot through Zack’s back and chest. Vixen and Tyson watched in horror as the thing Tyson had seen uncloaked itself before them. Vixen finally let out a scream as Tyson quickly took his assault rifle and began firing at will at it.
The Elite was unphased by the bullets as his barrier deflected them. Charging towards the two Vixen backed away but he grabbed her and tossed her into the room as Tyson quickly used his rifle and rammed it into the elite's face, knocking him back.
Using this opportunity he pulled out his knife and stabbed the elite into his neck but even with a knife embedded into the Elite he took his sword and sliced Tyson's weapon in half. Seeing himself with no weapon he dodged the elite's next attack rolling over to Vixen.
"Give me your weapon!" he told her as she fumbled to get it. When she tried grabbing it the Elite was on their case, his sword ready to kill Tyson. He looked up at the elite and suddenly flung his hand towards him. A burst of energy shot out and threw him back, impaling him into a hook on the wall.
The elite gasped for hair, struggling to get free. Tyson watched in shock as the elite slowly died against the wall. Slowly looking down at his hand he felt a cold sensation over his entire arm as he tried to figure out what just happened. He looked over to Vixen who was staring at him as if she had seen a ghost.
"Are you alright?" he asked, reaching out of touch her but she only smacked his hand.
"Don't touch me!" she yelled out as Tyson was thrown back by this.
"Vixen it's alright it's dead--"
"Get away from me freak!"she suddenly said as Tyson's heart stopped. Those words, those words filled his ear drums. He lost count how many times people called him that.
"Please..."he said reaching for her once more but she smacked his hand again.
"Leave me alone! Don't touch me!" she yelled in fear before getting up and running off.
"Vixen!" he called out as the Noble Team rushed in.
"Jesus."Carter said seeing the Elite and Zack dead.
"What happened here?"
Tyson only sat there, speechless but soon his face grew with regret, frowning now as he got up to his feet.
"Elite...killed Zack, Vixen ran off terrified.” he told them.
"Go after her. June, contact the Commander; tell him the Covenant are here."Carter said as Tyson began heading off to find Vixen. Adrain and Jesca followed quickly behind him. As they passed a small Garden section they heard a woman scream.
"Vixen!"Tyson said rushing off to find her. When they ran into the building and over to a window, they saw Skirmishers holding her down outside. A group jumping on her, tearing her armor right off and soon blood followed.
"VIXEN!" Tyson screamed out in horror as Adrain bashed the window out and began firing them off of her. Tyson rushed over to the door and down the basement to get to her but when he ran out he saw how badly they had damaged her. Her arm was ripped off, her body scratched up with gashes everywhere. Tyson slowly walked over to her, his eyes filled with horror as she was chocking to breath.
"End her suffering.."Carter said as they walked over to him.
"No! No she'll...she'll..." he tried to say when suddenly Emile went over, cocking his shotgun.
"NO!"Tyson said but Emile threw him back and quickly shot Vixen in the head, twice to make sure she was dead.
"Fucking pansy. Don't let her fucking suffer."Emile growled at him as Adrain went over to help him up. Tyson sat there on the ground, watching the mangled body of the girl who had any interests in him now gone down the drain just because of that incident in the other building.
He glared at the ground and punched Adrain's hand away from him and got up to his feet.
"Don't touch me. “He told him before heading forward, by himself.
"Let him go."Carter told Adrain.
"Let him cool off." The group began following ahead.

"Such a terrible tragedy, how it was your fault she died. Yet how much it filled that black heart deep inside your soul. How would Eris feel if she knew? If she knew what monster you truly are?"

"No, it’s not me, that's not me. I wouldn't be able to live with myself...if something happened to her...."

"Do not fear child, let the memories flow into me and drift peacefully amongst the current."

"You...You will not have me! You will not!"

And We Didn't Make It To Home Base....

"I'll handle the fire, Deliver the package to Autumn."Carter said to Emile, Jesca, Adrain and Tyson. They stood on a cliff, looking at the Pelican that Carter drove while Banshee's fired at him.
"There she is."Emile pointed to the Autumn in the disance.
"Race you to her.” he added before walking off.
"Stay behind us Jesca."Adrain told her as she looked at him.
"Don't worry about me Adrain." she said as she followed after Emile."I won’t get hurt."
Tyson looked up into the distance as Adrain placed his hand on his shoulder. Tyson's helmet was missing as his hair was hitting shoulder now. Unable to get his hair cut like he had wanted.
"You doing alright?" he asked him as Tyson frowned. They had been through so much. Watching both Jorge and Kat die, though he barely knew them, he only did his job, the only ones that were close to him was Adrain and Jesca. The thought of losing two who were like family to him through this whole war. He couldn't bear the thought.
"I just want to get out of here." he told him.
"And we will, together.” he told them as they made their way down.
The four jogged along the road. The enemies seemed endless as they marched forward. Jesca held her battle rifle and shot out any grunts in the head while Adrain carried his sniper rifle on his back and his dual pistols on hand. Emile took lead as they passed a station. Stopped by a group of Elites, Emile charged forward and jumped tackled one Elite and killed him with dagger. Lodging it into the Elite's throat. Jesca charged the second and shoved her gun into the Elite's exposed battle suit and fired into its abdomen. Adrain aimed and fired the other two elites. They all fell to their strength as they stepped over their dead corpses and pursued onward.
As they kept running along Tyson's eyes caught movement. When he turned his head, he saw another Spartan team, four of them running by as they didn't notice them but the leader, a female with black armor and teal detail did. She looked back at them as Tyson came to a slow stop. When the group stopped and turned around to catch up with them suddenly a large scarab came crash down, blocking the path between them and the Autumn. Tyson raised his hand but stopped; it was too late, no way could he save them.
"Tyson come on!" Adrain said as Tyson followed after them.
They came to a ledge leading towards the platform of the Autumn but suddenly stopped. A Scarab, a large four legged machine walked out from the opening. Standing on a ledge across their way it aimed at them. Carter flew by as the Scarab looked up at him.
"Damn it a Scarab."Carter said as Emile watched this.
"We can pass it.” he told Carter.
"No you can't it see's you.” he told them.
"Carter! Don't you dare do it!"Emile yelled but Carter ignored him as he fully turned his plane around and headed straight towards the Scarab.
"CARTER!!"Jesca and Emile yelled watching the Pelican ram into the machine, the plane blowing up on contact and the Scarab damaged. Adrain couldn't watch as the Scarab fell off the cliff.
"Damn you Carter!"Emile yelled out as he placed his hand over his head in frustration.
"We have to go!" Jesca begged Emile as she tugged his arm. He forced him to keep marching as the three finally reached the station.
"Adrain..."Tyson said as they kept moving.
"There was another Spartan team not far back. They tried to stop to follow but a scarab blocked their path." he told them as he stopped in his tracks.
"How many?" he asked.
"Four one was a female, Black armor Teal detail with ODST helmet.” he tried telling him. Adrain looked up and gripped his gun.
"Tyson I have an important task for you." he told them.
"Go back, find them." he told him as Tyson looked up at him.
"I'll be right behind you once Jesca is onboard the ship."
"No, we stay together."Jesca told him.
"This in not an option that is an order."He told her.
"We will be fine.” he added as he looked back at Tyson.
"Do this for me..."he said as Tyson nodded.
"It will be done." he told him.
"Good, I'll be with you soon.” he said as Tyson ran off, heading back.
Reaching back to the site where he last saw the group he looked for a way around the wreckage. It took him a bit but when he climbed over there was no sign of them. The worry grew over him as he climbed up on the higher part of the scarab but still no luck. Getting back down he may have passed them again as he headed back. Walking along he looked up seeing The Pillar of Autumn take off.
"Well shit, there goes the ride out of here..."he said hoping Adrain kept his promise. When he got closer to the base leading to the landing pad suddenly two elites showed up. One with a sword ready to kill.
"You got to be kidding me.” he said as the elite charged at him. Taking his pistol out he fired multiple times but to avail as the elite lunged at him but he dodged it in time for the elite grab him by his hair. He snarled now annoyed that they used his damn hair as a advantage. Taking out his knife, he didn't hesitate in cutting off the back of his hair, chopping off a finger from the elite. Getting free he used his knife and slammed it into the elite's mouth, and force the blade down. Before the second elite grabbed him by his head and lifted him up. His dagger pulled out, he was about to end his life but stopped, starring at Tyson's purple eye.
He kept his grip as Tyson struggled to get free, but this Field Marshall was intrigued by his colored eye. Something he didn't see from humans before. So he began walking off. Taking his soon to be trophy with him. As he walked off with the struggling ODST on the ground was Tyson's Dog Tags laying on the ground, covered in blood.
