Hello, this is my first fan fiction. I hope you enjoy it. It takes place during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved.

The Phantom flew towards the desolate moon. The moon was just big enough to have an atmosphere. It circled very close to the ancient ring-world, Halo. The Covenant ship was going there to search for an ancient artifact left by the Forerunners in a mysterious temple-like structure.

"The artifact is said to be on this moon," said an Elite. He was a Special Ops Elite, clad in black armor. Before him were eight other Special Ops Elites and tweleve Special Ops Grunts. The Elite's name was 'Osoolazumme.

'Osoolazumme looked at his Elites. He was the highest ranking Sangheili, as the Elites are known as in their own language, there, so the other Elites were all under his command. "We will go into the Forerunner temple and search for the precious artifact," said 'Osoolazumme. He raised his fist in the air. The other Covenant cheered.

I will not fail the Prophets, thought 'Osoolazumme, I will find the artifact.

"This mission easy!" said a Grunt.

"It may seem easy," said 'Osoolazumme, "But it may get hard. The temple is unexplored. We do not know what lies behind it's walls,"

The Phantom landed. The Covenant warriors dropped out of the ship.

'Osoolazumme activated his Energy Sword. The other Elites were armed with Plasma Rifles and Covenant Carbines. The Grunts carried Fuel Rod Guns and Neddlers.

They approaced the ancient Forerunner building. It was massive.

"Engage active camouflage," said 'Osoolazumme. The Covenant soldiers turned invisible.
