I do not own halo but I do play the game a lot.
Some Brutes, Jackals, and drones surrounded a boy ready to strike. The lead Brute thought 'no kill like over kill' as he smirked
The boy looked up from the ground and the Brutes his eyes had turned blood red. That wasn't the only thing that had changed on the boy's body, his canine teeth had grown to points and so had his fingernails. He almost seemed inhuman by now. The entire covenant squad had surprised looks on there faces. They had never seen anything like this. They all shot at him but he dodged them with speed that was beyond what even the SPARTAN-II could do. He jumped and kicked off the wall and scratched the lead Brutes face breaking his neck in the process.
The rest ran like hell. He changed back to his usual blue eyes and smaller teeth and fingernails. He picked up two plasma rifles and a beam rifle the covenant had dropped. He started walking but soon the ground began to shake.
He climbed a fire escape and found what was making the mini earthquakes there were four Hunters, a few Grunts, 3 high level Elites, and a female human soldier. She didn't seem to be there prisoner, she didn't have the eyes and she was carrying a shotgun.
"Nobody move" the boy said. The entire squad underneath him stopped.
"Who is there?" asked the Elite that seemed to be in charge.
"Why do you have a human with you" the boy asked
They all searched for were the voice was coming from but had no luck.
He aimed the beam rifle at a building and shot. The beam bounced of the building, then another, then another, then hit the ground next to the lead Elites foot.
"Hey if you're human then we need not quarrel"
"Sure"
"It's true" this time it was the soldier that spoke "there prophets have abandoned them. We now have a treaty with them."
"Alright I'm coming out, any body shoots in my general direction and I'm going to blow there brains out, got it" the boy said. He climbed down the fire escape muttering profound things.
The boy rounded the corner to show himself and the soldier was very surprised. He was a child of no more then sixteen or seventeen. He was his skin was creamy white the kind most girls would kill for although he looked nothing like a girl, he had nice blue eyes, and short jet black hair. It didn't look like he had much muscle mass, so she wandered how he carried that heavy beam rifle. His cloths were almost new and didn't look like he was out here that long. She walked over to him. He had two plasma rifles in his hands.
"Can I have those guns" she said to him. She held out her hand.
"No"
She looked at him in even more surprise. "Excuse me"
"Learn English lady, I said no" he said "its about to get dark, we should find a safe place to set up camp. There was a squad of Brutes and there underlings around here earlier. I scared them off."
She looked at him like he was a nut job. "Sure you did"
"If your done arguing with him lets move" said the lead Elite.
"As much as I hate to admit it he's right we need to find shelter" she said.
"I saw a place earlier. Its not far" said the boy.
"What is it a garbage dump, that's all that's left of this area" she said.
"No, a hotel that hasn't taken much damage." He said
"Don't you think the enemy will look there first?"
"No it's too big. The Brutes I have fought are lazy and very stupid. They might search the first two floors then say it's clear, or send the underlings to check the rest, but that's if they look at all."
"He has a point" said one of the lesser Elites.
"Lead the way" said the Elite in charge.
He led them to a store first.
"We don't have time for this, kid"
He ignored her and walked into the store. The squad followed except the hunters, not liking the kid pulling there chains. He grabbed a shopping basket and went to the candy isle.
"Typical kid" the soldier commented
The boy sighed. "I'm getting this because it doesn't spoil easily and it does not have to be refrigerated, ok" he put an emphasis on ok.
She just about hit him. "What's your name kid?"
"Bryan, you"
"Samantha, you can call me Sam" she said.
He now had a half of basket of candy. He walked to the back of the store.
"What do we need back here" she asked
He walked into the sporting goods isle "thought u could use some ammo, what does that thing take."
"Eight-gauge"
He put a bunch of it in the basket and walked away. Just then he found something that interested him. He picked it up quickly and hid it. "Come on we got to get out of here"
"Yeah let's go"
he lead them to the luxuries Skyy Hotel which he was right there wasn't much damage to the hotel but a lot to the road leading to it oh and he forgot to mention the big rig blocking the entrance. He led them to a hole the hunters could barley get into.
Surprisingly there was electricity in the hotel so they rode the elevator to the middle floor, hunters in two everyone else in a different one.
As they walked through the hall one of the lesser Elites turned off his shield and tapped Bryan on the arm. They both stopped in the hall. "Why did u not get punished for disobeying your superior like you did?" The Elite asked.
"You talking about the gun incident" he said he still had all of his guns. "I'm not in the army that's why"
"How can you not be in the army everyone must join the army" said the Elite in shock.
"Is that what you guys think? Is that why you guys used to attack every human you could find, you thought we where all in the military." Bryan asked.
"Well yes that is the information we were given" said the Elite.
"Well your information was wrong, we have many jobs and only about five percent are in the military, and we have an age requirement of seventeen before you can get into the military." He said
"By the rings. You mean I have been killing civilians. My once proud race have been killing in cold blood"
"You really didn't know, did you" he said not believing it
"Your soldiers were so easy to kill, I-I could not tell the difference." The Elite said. He had now what looked like black ink running down his face, Bryan guessed they were tears. "What have we done?"
Bryan looked at the Elite with surprise. 'This guy really didn't know' he thought. He knew what it meant to do things he wished he could take back, but he didn't dwell on the past.
He turned around and left the crying Elite in the hallway. After he got in the room he put a fist clean through a wall.
Sam ran in to see what happened. All he did was give her a dirty look and got into bed.
"What the hell was that look for." She asked impatiently "I have no idea what you used to be, and from the look you just gave me, I'm guessing spoiled little rich boy…"
He cut her off "you don't want to know what I was, what I still am." He was piss off. "I think the water still works. Now I'm going to bed. Good fucking night." With that he rolled over.
She was a little shaken up. Why was she so afraid of some kid, she had went through hell with basic training and had been sure her drill sergeant was Satan, she had also in several battles with Elites and Brutes, yet this kid scared her more than anything she had ever been through. She went into the bathroom and the kid was right, there was water. She stripped down and took a nice shower.
xxXXxx
It was the next day and they had woke up a half hour ago. Suddenly they heard plasma gun fire; Bryan went to the window and saw that a small squad of humans was taking on a big squad of Brutes. He noticed that a that the humans had made a circle around a young girl, maybe two years younger than himself, and was trying to fend them off.
"We have to do something." He said
"We will do nothing." Said the lead Elite. "That is not a battle we can win."
"Fine I'll go by myself"
"You will do no such thing" said Sam
"You don't want to be apart of this, you have two minutes to get out of here then I'm going down" he said meaning every word.
"Fine it's your funeral" the lead Elite said. They all walked out so that only Sam and Bryan were left.
"Be careful" she said
He just stared out the window so she left. She didn't expect to see him again.
The last human soldier fell leaving the girl unguarded and sitting in a pile of their blood. One of the Brutes smirked, he then rushed at her. Bryan took out the beam rifle and shot the Brute in the head in less than three seconds. He shot two more before the Brutes found his hiding place. They shot at him with there plasma rifles but didn't hit him. He killed five more before he ran out of ammo. He tossed the rifle aside and took out his plasma rifles. He then jumped out the window at ten stories. He landed gently on the ground which shocked the Brutes. Some rushed him. He quickly shot them wile jumping over them. After about a minute they fell.
One of the Brutes ran up to him and knocked the plasma rifles out of his hand then continued the knock him into the wall. He fell hard and the Brutes thought he was dead so they turned back to the girl.
The Brute that hit Bryan into the wall felt something digging into his neck, and with a sickening crack the Brute fell limp. He was then thrown into the air, hard, and didn't hit the ground anywhere near where he was thrown from.
The rest of the Brutes looked at the killer of their brother. It was Bryan but in his demon look alike form. He looked at the remaining ten Brutes with his blood red eyes.
The nearest Brute turned to fire on Bryan, but when his eyes were red he saw in slow motion. These Brutes would be no match for him. He ran up to the Brute and brought his hand up in an uppercut slash, breaking open the Brutes chest cavity and slicing its throat in one solid movement. The attack sent the dead Brute up and back a little.
As useful as his razor sharp claws were he could not make a fist, making his usual fighting style useless. Two more Brutes rushed him, but he easily cut them to ribbons.
He noticed some Ghosts were coming.
xxXXxx
Sam was walking with her squad when suddenly a dead Brute dropped in front of them. They looked up and saw no sign of an air vehicle. "You don't think that Bryan did this do you."
"He couldn't, could he?" asked an Elite.
xxXXxx
Bryant got close to one of the Ghosts and jumped on it. He knocked the brute off and smiled as it hit the ground at high speed. He sped towards the girl and grabbed her putting her behind him on the Ghost.
She was surprised to say the least. She thought she was going to die a few seconds ago.
