The LoneWolf
Spartan-X013 was looking around the small apartment he ducked into in order to hide from a Covenant patrol; he takes a quick look around the room and notices that the bed rooms closet door was slightly ajar.
The Spartan walked over to the door and opens it pointing his Ma37 assault rifleinto the closet to find a cowering little 6 year old girl, The Spartan puts his sidearm on his hip and looks at the girl. "Come on out honey," he says to her softly, "I'm not going to hurt you."
After awhile the little girl walks out to him and hugs him starting to cry.
"Shh it's alright little one, ill protect you" he comforts her as she clings to him
The girl looks up at him with light blue eyes; he gently pats her white hair. "M-my names... Luna," she stutters.
The Spartan smiles lightly, though she couldn't tell if he was because he had his standard issued Scout helmet on. "My name is Luke but you can call me Wolf if you want to."
She begins to calm down after the exchange. Luna nods, "Ok Mister Wolf are you going to beat up the bad men that want to hurt us?"
Wolf nods, "Yes I am Luna so you don't have to worry alright?" Luna nods and holds on to him.
A Covenant patrol enters the building Luke entered. Zagyag a veteran Grunt faintly hears someone talking from one of the rooms on the floor he was ordered to search. He tightens his grip on his fuel rod cannon and heads towards the door.
The door opens slowly and Luke puts Luna into the closet. Luke draws his pistol ready for a fight as a veteran Grunt enters the room his plasma pistol searching the room and sees nothing Luke had activated his active camouflage which would keep him hidden.
Zagyag barks in his native language and turns regrouping with his search team and leaves not bothering to search an empty room.
Luke's active camo sputters out fortunately after the grunts had vacated the room. "Damn experimental tech," he mumbles to himself. He opens the close and picks Luna up. He moves quickly making his way to the roof of the tall building, "This is Spartan-X013 call sign LoneWolf I need an evac at my location, I have a survivor," he reports over his com, as he works his way up the stairs.
"Roger that Lonewolf this is Sierra Tango Bravo we have a Falcon in route to pick you up," a voice replies over his comm.
Luke smiles and sets Luna down, "Luna the UNSC medics will take good care of you alright?". his hand rests on her shoulder to reassure her that they were going to be ok
Luna nods and hugs him, "I'll miss you Mister Wolf" she says sad at their parting. He tussles her hair and takes up a watch at the only entrance to the roof.
A little while later the Falcon lands and a Marine gets off and looks at the Spartan holding the white haired blue eyed girl "I'm sorry sir but there isn't enough room for you and her". He says gruffly.
Luke looks at the Marine then back to Luna, "Then take her" Luke says as he hands her to the man. He turns to Luna, "Luna you'll be fine I promise you" he says to her and gives her his good luck charm, a tooth from an elite he killed, on a small bead chain.
Luna smiles and takes it and is loaded on to the Falcon, The Falcon's engines roar as it lifts off and starts to fly away Luna's little hand waving goodbye before being pulled back in by the marines.
Just as Luke waved back to her, a round from a fuel rod cannon smashes into the side of the Falcon. "We're hit," he hears the pilot shout over the radio. Wolf shouts, "PULL UP!" He feels his heart falling with the Falcon. Smoke billowing from it the Falcon swerves away from direction of UNSC lines.
Wolf runs to the edge in time to see the Falcon go down in a Covenant hot zone, farther behind Covenant lines. He looks down and sees the group of Grunts from before one holding a Fuel Rod cannon. They regroup with a larger group that included roughly 4 more grunts and Elite. They begin moving in the direction of the crash site.
The light of the sunset shines slightly off of the Black Spec Ops Zealot Elites armor as he turns to the grunt that fired his Fuel Rod Cannon at the Falcon.
"What is your name Grunt?". The Elite says to the Grunt his mandibles moving slightly as he spoke in low tone
Zagyag gulped and looked up at the Elite "My…My name is Zagyag Excellency" The Grunt says nervously as he slightly bows showing the Elite respect.
The Elite looked him over and clicked his mandibles together which is like a shrug of the shoulders. "I want you and your team to join me and my squad to the humans vehicle to check for any survivors" The Elite says gruffly
Zagyag nodded and followed the Black Ops Zealot as the sky started to turn black, the grunts bark slightly hardly being able to see their leader as he walked through the shadows only a little light would shine on him as he walked towards the crash site.
Wolf grimaces at the thought that Luna could be alive among the wreckage scared and alone only to be found not by the UNSC only by the Covenant bastards that shot her and the falcon down only to be killed by plasma bolts.
Wolf turns his com link on, "This is LoneWolf the falcon was shot down I'm on my way to the crash site to find any survivors and bring them back to Base over". He says to the coms officer a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Roger that LoneWolf don't take long the Docs want to give your suit an upgrade over" the coms officer replied calmly.
'Scientists' Luke thinks to himself 'they always want to mess with my suit or give me some experimental tech they want me to test i hate them'. He thinks to himself "Roger that I'll see them once I'm done". Wolf replies as he shuts his com link off.
Wolf turns to the stairs and slowly moves downstairs trying to be as quiet as he can incase there are anymore patrols, 'She might still be alive, but not for long if the Covenant reaches her first...'.
