ESCAPING REACH
Chapter 2
"The Outpost"
Present day (Aprox. 1 week after the fall of reach)
Outpost Rook 1 mile outside of ONI's King base.
Nika woke up breathing hard she looked around the room her heart racing. She looked to the right and then saw the Scott laying on the cot across the room his mechanical arm hanging off the cot. She got up and walked up to his little bed and put his arm back on it she stroked his face. "Im…so…sorry." She looked over to his helmet with it's broken cracked visor. "Dammit."
Nika cracked her back as she walked out into the main area where there sat a few more Spartans. It was only a few of the other Spartans who had gathered there for safety. The three that were there looked at her, the first one to speak up was a Spartan in Blue and White armor. "Hey hey Nika thought you'd be enjoying your little nappy nap." "Don't start Avacyn." A spartan in rose armor got up and grabbed Avacyn's shoulder. "I think she had the dream again just lay off ok Avy." "Oh…alright." There was another Spartan in the corner his helmet was off he looked like he was meditating he eye'd Nika as she walked past him and up to the roof of the outpost.
It was very dark outside, the rain had stopped she took a deep breath looking over the worn landscape. There were craters and flaming wreckage along the Desert Mountains. "It's pretty nice huh?" The tan and brown armored Spartan stepped next to her. "Oh…Hey Moa." "You're distressed. Was it the dream?" Nika sighed. "Yeah it's all my fault Scott lost his arm, his legs, and his face is all scarred up." The Spartan addressed Moa patted her back. "Everything happens for a reason Nika. Just like we were all intended to meet here. For a higher purpose." Nika turned to look at Moa. "Whats our higher purpose? To join the rest of our dead friends. WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE HERE!?"
MEANWHILE…
A mountain range on the outer perimeter of the outpost.
Three Spartans moved through the rocks patrolling for any form of Covenant forces near the rock, the female one in the Blue and yellow armor sighed leaning against a rock. "God damnit, I at least thought we'd see some action." Another in brown armor, the leader of the group, just looked at her then spoke to her he was irritated with her and the other Spartan. "Just chill the hell out Sam. I'm like tired with this bullshit you and your brother pull." "Oh boo fucking hoo Romeo you're always complaining about nothing. Chill out." Then Samantha continued down the path. Romeo followed muttering under his breath. "Annoying cunt."
The two continued till they came across the third member, a white and red Spartan stood there juggling a grenade in his hand, waiting for his team to catch up. "Heh it's about time sis." He caught the grenade and holstered it. "You were always the slower one." "Fuck off Ben!" Samantha punched his arm as she walked by. Romeo came up, Ben could see he was angry by his body language. He was good with that kind of stuff. "Sup Romeo. What's got you all fired up?" "Your sister." Ben looked over to Samantha. Then spoke out in a sarcastic tone. "Really she's such an angel." "Yeah she's soooooo god damn sweet. Anyways let me just say the same thing I told her. I'm tired of both of your guys immature behavior. I'm tired of the shit you two pull. It's a cancer to the team and you both need to stop before you get us all killed." Ben laughed at that statement. Romeo was such a Dick if you asked Ben. He hated the guy. "Yeah whatever Romeo. Can I just say…" "GUYS I FOUND SOMETHING!"
"It's something alright." The group stood above a ridge looking down they found a large enemy camp. "Holy shiiiiiiit." Romeo was astonished by the size of the camp, there were so many Covies. It was a terrible sight. "We are so f'ed in the B." Sam and Ben were over talking. "Can you believe this guy?" "I'm resisting the urge to push him down there." "Oh my gosh we so totally should." Romeo walked back over. "Man. We should really get back to the outpost. We need to report this to Nika." Ben sighed. "Awwwwww looks like no fun for us." Romeo just smacked Ben's helmet. "Shut up! Lets go." Romeo started walking away Sam and Ben hesitatingly followed their so called "Captain" back to the outpost.
Back at the outpost.
"NO WAIT IM SOR-ajnguebvjbn" "YOU LITTLE IDIOT!" Avacyn was pinned against the wall by Nika. "I swear one of these days im going to bury a sniper bullet in your damn head" Hearing that enraged Avacyn. He kicked her back. "F-YOU! JUST! FUCK!" Avacyn grabbed his helmet and walked out. "What crawled up his bum?" Rose stood in the doorway. "What was that about?" "Nothing your little friend just does not know when to stop." Rose put her palm to her face. "Listen I know he can be a little bugger sometimes, but he's been through a lot." "Really? How so?"
A/N: Hey guys first of wanted to say that me and the fellow author plan on setting every Saturday as a update day. The third chapter may go a bit over the dead line, but it will be a long one. I also plan on adding the armor schematics later on. THANKS FOR READING!
