against all odds
Sgt. Forge looked at the pillar of light shooting out of the ground, he would be dead right now, had Ellen not sacrificed herself. He began to crawl toward it, slowly painfully, until he reached it and went through it himself. He found himself lying on his back on a small beach when he exited it. He could hear voices around him, but he had no energy left to look around him, he knew he was about to pass out, and right before he did, he saw a silhouette above him, then everything went black.
Forge's POV
I woke up in a small room, lying on a bed just barely large enough for me to be on. I tried to sit up when someone said "You shouldn't move to fast." I propped myself up on my elbows instead and looked in the direction the voice had come from, and saw a girl, who looked to be at least twenty-one, with blonde hair and blue eyes. "And, you are who?" I asked. "Oh, my name is Aryll." she said to me. "What's your name?" she asked. "My name is Sgt. Forge, but just Forge is fine." I answered. She looked at me with confusion. "Seargent? Seargent of what?" she asked. 'Man, she is full of questions, well I guess I am to, considering I have no idea where I am' I thoght. "To answer your question, the UNSC." I answered. "The UNSC, what's that?" she asked with another look of confusion. "Well, it's kind of hard to explain." I answered. "Where am I, Anyway?" I asked her. "This island is called Outset." she answered. "Outset? never heard of it." I said, shaking my head.
