And so the duel began and the twin swords clashed sending sparks and bursts of energy out from each other but in the end the elite's sword won over mine, because my sword splintered in to tiny shards which after being parted from the energy source disappeared before they hit the ground and the Sangheili's sword stabbed down towards my chest but was deflected by a knife that was throw from the other side of the room and it instead stabbed into my left arm which gave me the time to smash the elite in the face with my fist and the defeat him the his own sword.

Afterwards I ran towards Autumn but she waved me off "you have to finish the mission and anyways unless there is a swarm of brutes I'll be fine." As I look over her blood stained amour I say "Brave words from a girl who just got gut shot by two hunters." but I turn to go in and destroy the base anyways.

Thankfully there were no large clashes besides the odd grunt or two. And I was able the finish the mission quickly and get back to Autumn in enough time to kill the brute that was sneaking up on her with a hammer to finish the job the hunters started. After I showed the brute to her I said "I thought you said a swarm of brutes." laughing I grabbed her by the arm and took her DMR and assault rifle put them on my back with mine and took the energy sword and hammer into the woods so we would be safe when I blew up the laser.

On the way Autumn passed out and became dead weight so I stopped to check her injuries. As I was removing her breast plate to check if there was any broken ribs or large gashes she came to crying out in panic when she saw that her chest was bare and punching me when she saw me there. "What can't get any in with girls who are awake so you want to try with someone passed out!" she yells laughing even though she knows as well as I do why I did that.

So even though we finished our primary mission all ready we still had to wait another 3 days before the next chance to get picked up. And that might be five days Autumn doesn't have so we decided to go into the forerunner building to see if there was anything that might help heal Autumn faster. It turns out we found something worse.

As we started to limp inside the structure all around us the lights turned on of their own accord, and we heard a low humming coming from deep inside the walls. Half a click down the hall we started to find wreckage and dead jackals and grunts that looked like they had been burned by an energy of some sort and when we got to the first door that opened we went in to find a swam of these flying machines that immediately started to fire at us and the lasers that were fired shot through our shields like they were butter starting to melt our amour shortly after and when we turned to run we saw another large swarm flying towards us we were trapped...
