AN: I forgot to add this to Prologue. I don't own Halo or any other story/thing i put in here. Masheen, while I enjoy reviews that help, keep in mind, idk why the Arbiter defected, so i made a reason up. Deal.

Chapter 1

Thel 'Vaduumee


As Six looked around in shock, she noticed that Syri had stopped moving. As a matter of fact, he was grinning. "What is wrong with you?" she demanded.

"Who, me?" he asked, looking around, acting like she was asking someone else. "I'm the one who started the Covenant Separatists," he answered. "I was captured roughly ten years ago. I offered to train their Sangheili, that's the Elites," he added, noticing her look of confusion. "I knocked several out, because a Prophet thought I was lying. One condition that I demanded, that they think for themselves."

"Indeed, Syri. And it is good to see you again," said one Elite.

Predictably, Six attacked, only to be pinned by Syri. "Is he attacking?" he asked, sighing.

"No.." she answered, reluctantly.

"Why would I attack friends?" asked the Elite, hurt.

"Oh," said Syri. "Just remembered. Six, this is Thel 'Vaduumee, the Arbiter. You happened to attack the one Elite who was willing to help us off this rock."

Six blushed, embarassed. "Just follow us, and don't attack anyone, alright?" asked Syri. "They don't really trust you."

"And they trust you," snorted Six, disbelieving.

"Yes, they do. Because I trained them, and was trained by them," he answered, flatly.

Six shivered at the look in his eyes. Syri turned, and walked up to Thel, and started to help clear the Covenant Loyalists from the local area. After about an hour of hunting for the Loyalists, they turned, and walked back to Six. Thel sent a transmission requesting evac for a Demon, his Sensei, and the troops who accompanied him. After ten minutes, they were loaded, and were enroute to Thel's ship. They got there after flying for about three hours. Syri disembarked, and a line of Elites awaited outside. They remembered as well, and were glad to have the Arbiter's Sensei there as well. Six found out how not trusted she was, when she was immediately surrounded by silence, when she disembarked. "She is alright. She was fighting to save Reach and herself, remember," said Syri.

They relaxed, and welcomed her to their ranks, despite what she'd done. Syri walked away with Thel, after watching the Sangheili take to Six. "Hey, Six!" he called. "You get a name yet?"

She looked at him, then shook her head. "Good!" he called. "You're name is Sentoki, it means fighter!"

"Finally," she yelled back. "I've wanted one for a while. What's the language?"

"2012 Japanese!" Syri called to her. "Got a meeting, see ya!"


As Thel and Syri walked together, Syri became very serious. "Anything go unaccording to plan?" he asked.

"No. We've detected some wormholes, however," answered Thel.

"How big?"

"Roughly twice the size of Reach."

"Dammit. Any idea how far it goes?"

"No. We don't have that technology yet."

"Possiblity of avoiding it?"

"None. We will pass through it regardless."

"Damn. Well, we better tell Six. Fuck, I'm really not looking forward to that. There is so much we just don't know," said Syri, pacing. "Why a wormhole, right now? Everything was according to plan up til now. Then we look a wormhole straight in the face. Dammitall, why does our luck suck so bad?"

"I don't know. All I know is, we better get through that wormhole straight, or who knows what will happen," replied Thel.

"Your pods work? Stasis and all?" asked Syri, suddenly getting a germ of an idea.

"Yes. Where are you going with this?" asked Thel, confused.

"How many?" asked Syri.

"Enough for you, me, Sentoki, and the Sangheili in the crew. Why?" answered Thel.

"Arbiter, I request that all Sangheili, including yourself, be put in stasis along with Sentoki and me," requested Syri.

Arbiter's eyes widened. "Wait, you mean-"

"Pass through the wormhole in stasis? Yes," said Syri.

"Consider it done, Syri. See you when we wake up," said Thel, rubbing his hands together.

An hour later, Six knew, and was in stasis, as was every Sangheilian on board. Twenty minutes later, they passed through the wormhole.


AN: Mwahahahahahahaha! I evil. CLIFFHANGER! Hahahaha! I am enjoying myself way, WAY too much. Remember, I don't own any of the characters except Syri. Everything else is owned by Bungie. BUNGIE WILL ALWAYS OWN HALO. THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE. Even though it's no longer true.

Cheers,
