Until The End: Chapter 1

~Humphrery's POV~

My side hurts like hell as I lay on the ground, unable to move thanks to the sniper round that struck my side. I thought my armor and its shields would have stopped it but they must have used armor-peircing rounds, by this point I've lost feeling in my tail and hind legs.

I look to my right to see marshall inside our downed pelican...crying into bumblebee's now lifeless body as Spartan-698 provides cover-fire, with a now empty hydra launcher which he drops and gets a railgun, from a piece of the pelicans wing. Bee was like the responsible big brother to marshall. Marshie had always saved someone when they were in need but due to the sniper round that had peirced bee's armor and struck his heart, marshall failed to save someone in need.

I manage to drag myself over to some cover and here a cry of pain, when i turn around I see marshall with an energy sword in his side which is then pulled out and then used to stab S-698 in his helmets visor when he turned around to see if marshall was alright. An elite zealot, removes his energy sword from my brothers helmet and throws his body away.

~Zealot's POV~

I walk over to the almost dead wolf "I shall be favoured by the covenant high-council when they learn I have defeated this heretic. I will become the one that will be talked about for ages to come..." I stop and look down at the wolf who is struggling to bring his arm up and shoot me with his gun "I AM THE ONE THAT ENDS THE LEGEND OF HUMPHRERY ALPHA!" I bring my energy sword down to deliver the killing blow...

-A few weeks ago-

~Marshall's POV~

Sips my coffee while sitting on the lounge "Thanks again for letting me stay here humphrery and kate" I smile.

"Don't mention it marshie, I'm just glad ryder let you have the time off." Humphrery walks over and scratches behind my right ear, making my left hind leg give a stray kick. He stops scratching and sits beside me. "I mean sometimes you work so hard, you could honestly pass out."

"Like someone else I know" Kate looks at humphrery.

"Your right. But I can't help it that ONI can be a complete and utter pain in the ass." He sighs in defeat.

"Marshie-mellow!" I smile at the nickname as roxy and moonlight run up to me, I only have just enough time to put my coffee down as the two pups crash tackle and hug me.

I smile and hug back, "My gosh you two have grown since I saw you 3 months ago, and I have a gift for you both. Sit on the lounge and close your eyes," they do as I say while wagging their tails. I put a collar with a high quality toy replica of my pup-tag on both their necks, a turquoise collar for roxy and a black collar for moonlight. "Open your eyes!"

They smiled so hard when they saw their gifts, both their replica's lit up and my actual pup-tag lit up, "I've given you both a replica of my pup-tag with the ability to talk to me using them, so when your in trouble just yelp for help and I'll be there!"

"Marshall, you are too kind." Said kate smiling.

"Um humphrery, whats that?" I point in the direction of the small robot thingy floating above his shoulder.

"Oh hey stinger, um marshall meet stinger, stinger meet marshall. And stinger here is an A.I" He said before stinger disappeared and reappeared near me.

"A.I? Whats the 'A' stand for?" I reply confused.

"Artificial."

"Whats the 'I'-

"Intelligence."

"I remember now," I say embarrasedly "Rocky has one on his laptop. I can be really air-headed sometimes."

"Don't worry about it, marshall. Happens to the best of us."
