But, so many of your heroes wear tights! Like Batman! And… Magellan!

    This is why Spartans do not take ballet. You will be shot first.

    dancing and water? You'll find plenty of both in 'Flashdance'

  54. FoxyMayo on May 5th, 2010 7:09 am

    Here is a man, enlisted into the combat forces against his own will. He did not believe in fighting, for he was but a dancer, seeking approval from those near him. His unit was called upon to defend a base against a well-known and well-feared Covenant military force. He figured that this may be the chance where he could avoid pointless slaughter and bewilder a large crowd with his graceful moves. He donned his pink armor and wore his lucky flower charm, and was sent on his way, along with the rest of his fellow soldiers.

    The base was bustling with soldiers, arming themselves and planning against the oncoming threat. The Pink Spartan looked down upon them from their dropship, he smiled from behind his visor and thought to himself Today, I'll be the hero. After they landed, the base's Lieutenant approached the Spartan unit and quickly briefed them of their current defense strategy: hold out for more reinforcements. But for how long? The army was getting closer and there were possibly thousands of them. The Pink Spartan approached the Lieutenant and said "Don't worry, I think we'll hold out."

    "That's… what I like to hear, Spartan," he said in a disgusted tone, eying the Spartan from head to toe and then he just walked away.

    Two hours passed, and the Covenant force was just beyond the hills, waiting. What were they waiting for? They could've just stormed the base and taken it with their numbers. They knew what was about to happen. They were all going to die. Everyone had a disdainful look on their face, but beneath the Pink Spartan's visor, he was smiling brightly, knowing that today he would be the hero. Today he would save everyone. Today he would get the approval he was looking for. The Lieutenant walked over to his soldiers with a sorrowful look on his face, "The Covenant just sent us a message, boys… 'We have four-thousand soldiers. Surrender your base or be destroyed.' So… what's it gonna be, do you want to retreat while you still have lives?" A silence broke over the crowd of soldiers, they looked at each other with a fear in their eyes. Four-thousand? Surely staying here would be suicide! But the Pink Spartan did not go silent. He immediately stood proud and straight, and said in a confident voice, "I will stay and fight, I have confidence that we will win this day, and we will go home unscarred!"

    The Lieutenant, knowing though that the odds were heavily stacked against them, upon hearing his moving speech, smiled. He smiled and looked upon the rest of the unit, "So, you boys wanna run away or are you going to stand and fight?" Each of soldiers, motivated by the Pink Spartan's short speech, stood up and said "I will fight," until all the soldiers were standing. And then they applauded him. The Spartan, looked around with surprise. Maybe this was the true approval he was seeking? The applause was quickly interrupted by the sounds of turrets being fired. The soldiers looked just over the hills to notice blue streaks arcing across the sky, right towards their position. Each soldier quickly made a run for cover, while the Pink Spartan dropped his gun and ran towards the source of the shots. The shots hit the ground behind the Spartan with a deafening boom, sending soldiers and debris flying in every direction. He turned to observe the carnage the blast had created, staring in utter shock for a moment before turning to be met with an oncoming wave of Covenant infantry. He shook in fear for a moment, and then he remembered what he was here to do. He quickly took a stance, he held the tips of his fingers together above his head and stood on the tips of his toes. The remaining soldiers and the Covenant looked upon him with confusion. The Pink Spartan quickly took a bow, spun around and hummed a faint melody…

    And he danced. He danced, with thousands of soldiers as his audience and a field of battle as his stage, and he bewildered them. He danced until his audience saw that there needed to be an early closure on his performance. He danced until he exploded into a fine array of crimson giblets.

    The entire unit of soldiers quickly fell to the Covenant's numbers.

  62. FoxyMayo on May 5th, 2010 8:38 am

    "Remaking" isn't exactly the word. "Pulled from my ass because it was three in the morning and I was bored" is more like it, actually.

    We should teach the terrorists ballet. Would make a helluva easy job for security.

    Evade looks pretty awesome when you do it with plasma grenades attached to you.

  95. Pupsrus13 on April 17th, 2012 7:50 pm

    Also, that Spartan USED to be a Spartan, then took a needle to the knee.

    Literally, look at their left knee.
