==Plot synopsis==
'''''Halo: Helljumper Issue One''''' is the first of the five issues of ''[[Halo: Helljumpers|Helljumpers]]'' limited comic book series. It was released on July 22nd, 2009.<ref>[http://www.marvel.com/catalog/HALO~colon~_HELLJUMPER.2009.1 Marvel.com Catalog - HALO: HELLJUMPER #1]</ref>.
The story begins at an ODST drop above the planet Ariel, with information on the ODSTs' mission: to respond to a distress signal from the colony. The narrator, [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]], talks about how they are always alone during a combat drop. The story then jumps back in time to an archaeological colony on the surface of the planet, where a doomed researcher escapes a deadly Covenant attack on the surface, stammering inside a structure to call for help.


Later, on a [[UNSC frigate]], Romeo and [[Michaels|another Marine]] talk about the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan project]], with Romeo claiming that stories about them are fake. Another ODST, named [[Brimley]], comes in and tells them of how his friend [[Langston]] was killed by [[John-117|a teenage Spartan]] severals years before, after he was bullied into fighting with four other ODSTs. Romeo laughs, making fun of Brimley's friend. The two get into a fight, which is soon broken up by [[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]]. Their superior officer, [[Master Sergeant]] [[Frost]], soon intervenes and confines Romeo and Dutch to their quarters as a result of the fight.

'''NEW STORY! NEW CREATIVE TEAM!''' Comics legend Peter David and up-and-coming artist Eric Nguyen bring a whole new HALO story to life! When the colony planet [[Ariel]] sends out a mysterious distress signal, it’s up to the [[UNSC]]’s elite, highly skilled special-ops Marines, the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s from the [[105th ODST Division|105th]], to find out what’s happening.

The story then jumps back to the fight on Ariel. The ODSTs land, as Romeo talks about how Dutch and wife, [[Gretchen Ketola|Gretchen]], met. A brief flashback, back at the ship, shows Dutch viewing a recorded video message from her. The scene cuts to the ODST squad regrouping at the main settlement of Ariel. They find that the area is desolate, with no signs of fighting or bodies left. The narrator expresses his surprise at this, commenting that it isn't how the [[Covenant]] usually operate. After finding Covenant footprints, the ODSTs find one lone [[Charles (civilian)|civilian]] body in the colony's transmissions building. The story concludes with Romeo questioning the loneliness of the planet, and the words "To Be Continued..." at the bottom of the page.

Meanwhile on a [[UNSC Frigate]], Romeo and [[Michaels|another Marine]] talk about the [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan project]] and how stories about them are fake. One of the stories was when the Master Chief was young, just after the augmentation on the {{UNSCShip|Atlas}}, he was bullied into fighting with four other ODST's and killed every one of them. As the story stops Romeo and a Marine named [[Brimley]] get into a fight, but it is soon broken up by [[Taylor Miles|Dutch]]. Their superior officer, [[Master Sergeant]] [[Frost]], confines Romeo and Dutch to their quarters because of the fight, and the story then jumps back to the fight on [[Ariel]] as the narrator talks about how Dutch and wife, [[Gretchen]], met, and shows Dutch viewing a recorded video message from her. The scene cuts to the ODST squad who have now landed on Ariel and they find that the area is desolate, with no signs of bodies left. They find one lone civilian body but he was killed by natural causes. It then concludes with Romeo questioning the loneliness of the planet, and the words "To Be Continued..." at the bottom of the page.
