Nikki Hatake- Thanks for the review and the compliment. Here's that update!
A/N: Just to re-cap, this is a Halo/ Star Wars crossover. And I can guarantee that more familiar Star Wars characters WILL be coming into the story in later chapters. And there will be a tad bit of flirtation between the Chief and Kira Solaris in the end of this chapter. Just a warning in case you cannot stand any type of romance.
Chapter 2:
"After Math."
The sudden calmness after the chaos, death and destruction that had occurred in the battles of the Outskirts, was unnerving to say the least, but Spartan-117; The Master Chief, seemed unfazed by it all; the yellow-ish gold opaque visor obscuring all visible emotions, if any.
Looking about and surveying the damage done, a soft string of foreign curses coming from the right caught the Spartans attention.
" Di'kut. I should been paying attention to where that armored shield was going." Kira cursed softly, getting to her feet as she brushed the dust and dirt off her sleeves.
Slinging his Battle Rifle over his shoulder, the Chief made his way over to where Sergeant Solaris was standing.
Kira looked over at the seven foot tall Spartan and a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. " Nice of you to drop by Chief. " She said.
"Sergeant." the Chief gave a slight nod in Kira's direction, causing the young sergeant to roll her eyes at the gesture.
" A bit blunt now, are we? " She asked, the sarcasm dripping from her voice.
Choosing to ignore Sergeant Solaris's sarcastic quip, the Chief spoke in a calm, collective voice.
" Whats the sit-rep, Sergeant? " He asked, dead-pan.
Kira's eyes suddenly lost their mischievous glint, as she scowled. " The Covenant has completely over run my squad, Sir. Whether any of my marines are alive; I don't know, I haven't seen any other survivors. "
The Chief nodded slowly, taking in the information that Sergeant Solaris had provided him. " Alright. We'll pick up any survivors if we find any. Right now, we need to get moving. "
Kira gave a bit of a smirk as she picked up her shotgun off the ground as she followed the Chief through the doors that the hunter's had conveniently broken down.
" Let's kick some Covenant ass, then. " She quipped, reloading her shotgun in the process.
" The second downed pelican is somewhere in the northeast section of the Outskirts. Near the Zanzibar Hotel, actually. " Cortana stated, from within the Chiefs helmet.
Kira snorted slightly. " You could have just said that the pelican was near the Zanzibar hotel, instead of making me think. " She said sarcastically, causing Cortana to sputter slightly at the sergeant's comment. Kira chuckled softly at Cortana's reaction as she took out her binoculars from her backpack and focused in on the next area.
" Lovely. We have snipers. " She said, scowling.
" How many? " The Chief's voice drifted in from somewhere behind Kira, as she took a second look and made a quick count of all the snipers.
Five snipers, no six.
" Six of them, Sir. " She stated, as the Chief made his way over to Kira, reloading his battle rifle as well.
" Whats your secondary weapon, Sergeant? " He asked.
" A magnum, Sir. " She said, earning a slight nod in response.
" I'll take out the snipers, you cover my back and ensure that there are no more ground troops around to ambush us." He said, glancing over towards her.
Kira gave a quick nod in response, then looked around. A odd sense of dread knotted itself in her stomach. ' I have a really bad feeling about this..and I sure as hell don't need my Force Sensitivity to tell me that. ' She thought dryly.
" I have a really bad feeling about this.." She whispered quietly to herself. " and I hope that my Force Precognition doesn't come and bite me in the ass again.." She added in an even quieter whisper.
The Chief glanced over towards Kira and scowled slightly from behind his visor.
"Focus on the battle, Sergeant. " He said, somewhat harshly.
Kira shook her head. " I'm telling you sir, something bad is going to happen. I know it. " She said grimly.
The Chief gave a bit of a frustrated sigh. " I need you to focus. Ignore these 'Bad feelings.' that you're having. That's an order, Sergeant. " He said, in turn; earning him a glare from Kira.
" Fine. I just hope that my precognition doesn't come and give me a good swift kick in the ass..or you will be without back up, since I'd be knocked unconscious due to my precognition. " She stated, causing the Chief to stare at her for a moment.
" Precognition? " He asked, slightly confused.
Kira grimaced slightly as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Yeah. It's a real pain in the ass. It always seems to kick in at the worse possible moment. " She muttered darkly.
" Oh. " was the only response that Kira got.
She nodded slightly. " There's two definite signs of when my precognition will kick in. I'll have a sudden chill go down my spine, and then my eyes will glaze over. And if both happen, I need you to catch me before I hit the ground. " She explained, giving a slight wince in the process.
He nodded in acknowledgment. " Fine. But I still need you to watch my back. " He said, loading his battle rifle for the second time.
Kira didn't respond as she started to look around the area that they currently occupied. Looking to her left, Kira smirked as she saw a ledge sticking out; a perfect place for sniping. She smirked even more as she looked over towards the Chief.
"Sir? Do you think that you could lift me up so that I can get up onto that ledge to take out those Jackals, using your sniper rifle? " She asked.
The Chief pondered her idea for a moment before nodding in agreement, as he came up behind her, and put his hands on her waist, lifting her up into the air just enough for Kira to grab hold of the ledge and pull herself up without being spotted by any of the snipers.
She looked down at the Chief and smiled slightly. " Thank you, Sir. Could you pass your sniper rifle up here? " She asked.
The Chief gave a curt nod as he lightly tossed his sniper rifle up to Kira.
Kira grinned mischievously as she caught the sniper rifle and took aim. And in that moment, for the Jackals; Kira was god.
She gave a bit of a chuckle as she quickly took down all but one of the snipers.
Cortana snorted. " I was so sure that your profile said that you were an ace sniper. " She said sarcastically.
" Two words, Cortana; Bite Me. " Kira quipped through her radio, as she took out the last sniper.
" Women.." The Chief muttered under his breath, as Kira stood up, then jumped down and landed beside him. " But nice work, dealing with those snipers. " He added.
Kira chuckled softly as she handed the sniper rifle back over to the Chief, then picked up her shotgun and slung it over her shoulder, as she walked along side the Chief. She snarled under her breath as a sudden cold chill ran down her spine.
" Bloody hell...Not now..." She muttered, crossing her arms lightly.
"Sergeant? Whats wrong? " The Chief asked, tilting his head slightly.
Kira didn't answer, as another chill ran down her spine. "Stupid god damn..." She trailed off, her eyes starting to glaze over.
"Solaris, What the hell is going on?! " He asked again, trying to get her attention.
Finally, Kira looked over at him, her eyes completely glazed over. " It's my precognition...And it's about to--" She started to say, before collapsing onto the ground, completely unconscious.
Several visions flooded into Kira's mind, but only one of them managed to stand out.
Delta Halo.
As her visions finally came to an end, Kira let out a string of foreign curses, mainly in her native language of Mando'a. " Di'kut! Mir'osik! Dar'yaim! "
The Chief blinked a couple times before walking over to Kira, and kneeling down beside her. " What did you see? " He asked softly, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
Kira pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, before looking at the Chief. " There's another Halo installation out there, Sir, " She whispered softly.
He cursed. " Shit. Are you positive? " He asked.
Kira winced slightly, and nodded. The Chief cursed again.
" We should get moving. The longer we sit here, the longer the war will rage on. " Kira said, getting to her feet.
The Chief nodded in agreement as he gave her shoulder a light squeeze before getting to his feet as well. " No argument from me, Sergeant. " He said, giving a low chuckle.
Kira smirked again before speaking. " Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur. " She said, causing the Chief to stare at her in confusion.
" What the hell did you just say? " He asked.
Kira stifled a chuckle before responding. " All I said was ' Today is a good day for some other bugger to die.' in my native language. " She explained, giving a lazy shrug of her shoulders.
The Spartan gave another low chuckle. " Nice. Alright, Sergeant; let's get going." He said, heading towards the location of the second downed pelican. Kira grinned mischievously and gave a mock salute.
" Yes Sir! " She said, suppressing a laugh.
The Chief shook his head and sighed. " You're a real pain in the ass, you know that? " He said, glancing over at her.
Kira laughed at that. " Honestly, I've been called worse, Sir. You'll have to do better than that. " She said.
He shook his head again. " Don't even start with me..." He trailed off, somewhat amused.
Kira chuckled softly and nodded. " Of course Sir. Because you know that you'd lose. " She said, as she slowly started backing away from the Chief.
He glanced over at Kira, but said nothing as he began walking towards the next target site.
Kira chuckled softly as she slung her shotgun over her shoulder and followed the Chief through the Outskirts of Metropolis.
A/N: Oy vey... Didn't realize how long this chapter was. I must admit, it looks shorter on paper. xD But I'm pretty happy with it. And we'll definately see Private 'Snipe' Adams again...He isn't dead..Yet... ...and I also hope that the Chief wasn't too OOC...If he was let me know, please! Enjoy this long chapter! R & R please!
Edit: Changed a couple grammatical errors in this chapter.
