Chapter 1: Fresh Meat
Time: 1200 hrs
Date: June 6 2567
Location: New Visegrad, Reach-II
A jet black Pelican dropship flew through the blue skies of Reach-II to the new Spartan training camp set up in the New Visegrad area transporting a single Spartan recruit and four ODST guards. His cold blue eyes and light skin penetrated his ODST guard's helmet as he glared at the blue visor.
"When will we get there?" asked the recruit as he began to smile.
"Three minutes," announced the pilot over the comms, "might want to fasten yourself in."
"Got it," replied the recruit as the Pelican approached a gray building in the middle of a green forest, "Tyrannus activate."
"Gladly," replied a disembodied voice as a blood red holographic tyrannosaurus rex appeared in front of him, "good day young Saber, what can I do for you?"
"Check and see if he is here," replied Saber as he smiled happily, "check if my brother is here."
"Sadly I can not do that," replied Tyrannus as he disappeared, "had you been talking to my source A.I then it would be a different story."
As the Pelican's bay door opened Saber began to exit and walked towards the building's doors as he passed a Spartan in black and red Mjolnir Hayabusa armor.
"Hey fresh meat," remarked the Spartan as Saber glared at him in anger, "looks like another recruit who thinks he is tough enough for the meat grinder."
"What was that?" roared Saber in anger as the Spartan smirked beneath his helmet.
"The meat grinder is the nickname for these training grounds," replied the Spartan as he led Saber into the building to meet his fellow recruits, "and we call every recruit fresh meat, I am from the previous class of Spartans to have trained here and I was trained by the class before the one I was in though I guess it does not help that I had extra training beforehand."
As the senior Spartan class stood in front of the new arrivals a plump drill sergeant with scars across his face entered the room and saluted the senior Spartan class.
"OK," roared the drill sergeant as the recruits stood at attention, "THE FIRST RECRUIT INTO THE MEAT GRINDER WILL BE SABER STRYKER SO WHICH SPARTAN WILL TAKE HIM ON?"
"I will," replied the Spartan in red and black Hayabusa as Saber stepped forward, "this will be fun."
"Indeed it will," commented the drill sergeant as the duo enter the meat grinder's training room, "indeed it will."
As Saber and the Spartan enter the training area the Spartan removes his helmet revealing brown hair, light skin, and cold blue eyes.
"Welcome to the real meat grinder kid," remarked the Spartan as he stood behind saber smiling, "this will be very fun."
Saber angrily turns towards the Spartan to find the face of his older brother, Cipher, smirking.
"Cipher?" asked Saber as his eyes widened in fear.
"Like I said little brother," replied Cipher as he equipped a training blade, "welcome to the real meat grinder."
As Cipher prepared to lunge Saber began to perform a defensive stance ready to block Cipher's attacks.
