Ruby Walks with Sargent Johnson who takes her to one of the armories of the ship as they head there Ruby was still thinking on how she got there but before she could think on she heard johnson pressed a button when they got to the armory and then walks in. As they walk in Ruby saw a marine uniforms in different sizes, he takes one off and it looked like the right size for ruby.

"Put this on." Johnson ordered, as he looks out the armory incase any covenant were near.

Ruby holds the armor in front of her for a wile. "Ah why? I never wore armor in battle before." Ruby tells him as she holds the armor still wile putting down her syth.

"Ruby, I don't know what your world is like of whatever it's called, but trust me just put it on it will help against plasma."

Looks at sargenta Johnson a little confused. "Plasma? What's that?"

The Sargent let's out a sigh then, wile putting a hand on his forehead as he began to explain. "Oh for Fucks sake you dont even know what plasma is. Alright Ruby listen I'm only going to explain this to you one, plasma is very dangrous weapon the covanent use they can cause third-degree burns, this type of injury destroys the outer layer of skin and the entire layer beneath; the wound is cauterized instantly upon impact. Body fluids would be subjected to flash vaporization so in other words if it hits you and you don't have the proper armor well let's say your screwed."

Ruby, now understanding shivered a little that kinda sounded nasty and painfull, so she decided to put on the armor...but she looks at the Sargent.

"Ok...but...can I keep my cape when I were this." Ruby asked him with her smile.

Normally Johnson would say no. but right now he didn't have time to argue with her to tell her now. "Fine you can keep now. NOW HURRY UP AND GET THE ARMOR ON!"

Ruby jumps at his suddem shouting saluted a little scared. "SIR YES SIR!" as with that she goes to the back of the armory to put it on.

"Kids." Johnson said with a eye roll.

Then he heard banging on the door and saw some dents on it. Johnson knew what was coming as he gets a assist rifle and he aims at the door. "Come on you basterds come get some." And with that the door was blown off and johnson saw four Grunts come through the destroyed door and one elite and judging by its whote armor it was a elite ultra.

"There human!" A Grunt yelled pointing to Johnson, but before he could do anything Johnson fired at the grunt rattling with bullets killing him, the other grunts fired at Johnson as the elite fired at him along with them, Johnson was behind cover do avoid being his by the plasma being fired at him.

One of the Grunts walked down then around he was planning to flank the Sargent by going behind him. Unkown to him he was going were ruby rose is as he goes forther down he heard a grunt so he stops and lisens.

"Oh come on!" The Grunt heard the young voice that belonged to Ruby, he decided to get his plasma pistole ready as he walks slowly into the area were he heard the voice.

As for ruby she was getting the armor on, But some parts to her were kinda tricky to put on as she was now getting her cape on now the back of it.

The Grunt got to Ruby, he saw her and so with that he aimed his Plasma pistol at The young girl.

"Nighty night human" the Grunt says in his language, aiming still and chuckling silintly.

Ruby got the last of the gear on then and stans up straight "there that should do" as she was about to go she heard something charging, she turns to see a small alien, she saw its laser glowing zhe stared for a aile till he fired.

"Oh crap!" Ruby shouts.

As the laser comes to her she avoids it by rolling out the way fast, she then runs at the Grunt and dose jump flying kick to it sending it flying back when her kick collided with it's face making it crash into the metal wall knocking it out.

Ruby looks at the Grunt "So. This is a covanent these guys fight?" She looks at the aliens gear. she found most of it interesting as she picks up the plasma pistole and takes a close look at it...but then the Grunt woke up and sees Ruby.

The Grunt had wide eyes then "AHHHHH!" He screams and jumps up, in fear and being despret right now the Grunt takes out two plasma Granades "DIE!" the grunt yells.

Ruby had wide eyes as she runs away from the suicidal Grunt fast as it explodes killing itself but failing to kill Ruby who was looking at the spot the Grunt used to be in shock. Nothing remind of the Grunt but a blue blooded mess.

With Johnson he manage to kill all of the grunts but they were still one elite left and he was firing his Concussion Rifle that was firing heavy bolts of superheated plasma at the area Johnson was taking cover at.

Johnson reloads another clip into his assult rifle as he sighs "OK this guy going to be a problem" he says to himself as he makes a run for it wile avoiding the shots from the ultra as he fires at the Elite. The Ultras shields were to strong that the Assult Rifle was barley damaging the sheilds, the ultra then fires near Johnson who avoids the blast but it'd force sent him in the air and made him land "Damn it" he curses, but then before he could get up he saw above him the Ultra was aiming his Rifle at him. The elite looks at the Sargent for a wile taking his time to enjoy this and the Sargent notice this and showed no fear "oh come in what are you waiting for you split jawed bastered!? Waiting for me to beg? Well shame for you I don't do that"

Before the ultra fired to kill the sargent, a female voice was heard "JOHNSON!"

The elite turns to were he heard were it came from only to be Recive 3 shots from Ruby who was shooting her Crescent Rose. The shots were enough to make his shields go down, Ruby then runs up and dilivers a strong kick to the ultra''s Chest sending him stumbling back and dropping his weapon as he looks at the Teenage girl who was standing in front of the Sargent defendinghim.

Ruby glared at the elite "Hey you stay away from The Johnson! He's so far the only friend I made on this ship" The Elite looks at her for a wile but he then takes out another weapon and activated it it was a energy sword. Ruby could not help But look how cool it looks but she shakes it off she had no time to be intrested in the weapon of this Armored alien as the two glared at one another.

Johnson then gets up as he was holding his wound "Ruby be careful this is a elite ultra. They have heavy shields and thicker armor then a minor and a Elite major there deadly foes"

Ruby nodded, even though she has no idea of what a elite minor or major is "Got it"

at another part of the Pillar of autumn

A group if marines were pinned down. They were being fired at from all sides wile in cover from the Covenant Boarding parties they were relentless in there slaughter of everyone in the ship.

One marine panicked "We're dead! were all Fucking dead!"

A marine next to him grabbed his Coller and looks at him annoyed "Shut it! If we're going to die Fine! But have the balls to accept it with dignity!" He then let's the marine go gets out of his cover for a second and fired his assult rifle at the alien threats. But a Elite manage to get a lucky shot, shot the marine in the shoulder making him grunt in pain and held his wound.

"Well got to say if we're going out" a female marine says as she smirked "I get to go out taking some of these freaks with me!"

Before someone could reply to her they heard some explosions of human made granades going off killing a large portain of the alien threat, along with gunfire that killed the remaining enemy till there was silance one looked to who the one who could have saved them is. Only to see no one was there.

"Who did that?" He asked before he felt the ship shake along with hearing the captain on the speakersame telling everyone to abadon ship.

One marine thinks and got a idea "I think I know who, but we got no time to waste! we need to get to the Escape pods"

With that the Marines left the area to head to the escape pods as for there savior he was going his own way.

"You certainly do know how to handle these types of situations Chief" the A-I known as cortana said complamanting the spartan.

"I know" Chief replies to his companion as he reloads his rifle as he felt the ship shake when another boarding craft Hits the ship.

Back at the armory

the Ultra and Ruby crossed blades then the Ruby using her syth to block the elites energy sword. The elite was a skilled fighter and he had a fighting pattern Ruby Rose has not seen before so this was kinda tricky.

As for Johnson he was watching this, Sure he could help right now but he wanted to see what this Teenager could do if she is tuff enough to take on a Elite and if the elite gets the upper hand he will come in to assits her.

The Elite ultra tried to Slice Ruby''s legs off when he slashed his sword at her feet but Ruby jumps avoiding it and she dilivers a string hit to the elites helmet with the hilt of Crescent Rose makinh his dazed, cracking the left eye area of his helmet that it and exposing it's eye true eyes and looks at her. Ruby saw true hate from that eye she could see it.

Ruby Decided to try to reason with the elite, since if it has these advanced weapons it must be smart. but before she could say anything the elite suddenly turned invisible surprising Ruby who looks left and right.

"What the he Vanished!" Ruby said still kinda surpised.

"Wrong ruby he's cloa- DUCK!" he suddenly yells.

Ruby Then ducks in time before the elite could deliver a killing blow to her. She then rolled and she saw the elite raise its sword to kill her when he unclocked, Johnsom was about to shoot it to help Ruby till he heard a blast he looks to see that the ultra now had a large hole in his chest.

Ruby was shaking now she did not mean to do that she did that on reflax "Wha-what did I J-Just d-do" she stutters as she watched the elites body fall down dead making a thud noise as Purple blood was leaking onto the metal floor.

"You did what you had to" johnson said catching her attantion.

Ruby looks at him as some tear's were beginning to fall from her eyes "wh-what bu-but I killed him i-"

Johnson cuts her off then and puts a hand on her shoulder "Ruby, That Elite you killed deserved it, like all the others Covenant plus...they done a lot of horrible stuff to deserve any mercy"

Ruby looks at him wile wiping some of her tears away, then she asked him "why?"

Johnson then looks her in the eyes wile he explains it her "So many to list but...I'll tell you some they glassed City's filled with millions of innocent's without mercy, they killed who knows how many members of the human race and there determined to commit genocide to wipe us all out" Johnson looks at ruby who was still thinking on all this.

"I...I don't know if I can kill...I never killed before only thing I killed before were Grimm and that's about it" Ruby tells him as she looks at the dead Ultra elite body.

Johnson nodded in understandind, Well sorta since he has no idea what a Grimm is at all "Ruby the first kill always the hardest. But in war...you will half to get used to it since in war...the enemy will always shoot to kill. Ruby I I'm sorry that I half to put this much preasure on you but there's not much of a choice" he then stands up taking his hand of her shoulder.

Then the voice of the captain was heard on the speaker "all UNSC personal abandon ship! Abandon ship!"

"Well looks like we half to leave this party" he then turns to Ruby" come one let's go"

Ruby stands up then and picks up her weapon "OK Sargent Johnson I'm ready. Lead the way"

The marine sargent and Ruby then headed out the armory then and met up with a group of marines on the way they.

One marine saluted "Sir!"

Johnson dismissed him right now "At ease Marine. Now let's go ee need to get to a escape pod and fast!"

Without a word they agreed and runs then to get to a escape pod as ruby was thinking about the events that happened today.

at the Covenant ship known as the Truth and Reconciliation

The Ship master was watching as the boarding party he sent to the piller of autumn was going well, he feels this human ship like all others will fall from the might of his forces as his ships canons were damaging the unsc ship as well.

A elite walks up to his superior "Shipmaster. The boarding party has successfully killed lots of Vermin on that wreched ship!"

Shipmaster Lat 'Ravamee was pleased with this "Good. this is to easy"

The Subordinate elite went back to his post then, his bisness with his superior finished he now went back to one of the controls.

Back at the piller of Autumn

The marines and Ruby near the Escape pods area, But we're pind Down by a large group of Covenant that were blocking there way to the pods leading to a fire fight.

Johnson looks at his men wIle he has a granadeready "Come on Men were not dying here" with that said he throws it at then of course it kills a large portion of the grunts, it lowered most of the elites sheilds and the marines then returned fire on them killing most of them.

"Ill help to!" Ruby says as she aims at a elite that was shooting at them she was hasitant at first, But she remembered what Johnson said as she takes a deep breath and then she fired the shot hits the elite Minor in the head blowing a Chunk of his head off and sending it's blood flying onto the wall killing the Alien instincly killing.

One marine saw this then smiled "Wow! Nice shot kid"

Ruby looks at said marine "ah thanks...still I'm not used to this..."

"Don't worry you willget used to it" Johnson says as he shoots what's left of the Aliens.

Soon what was left of the Covenant forces were gunned down leaving a clear way for the escape pod, the Marines then run to it along with ruby who was the last to get in.

As they all got in Johnson turned to ruby "Ruby press that botton!"

Ruby nodded "on it!"

Ruby pressed the botton and the door to the pod was closing...but then 3 Blue plasma bolts came at her and hitted Ruby they went throw her chest plate hitting fleash Ruby fall down then.

"KID!" a marine yelled as he looks to who shot her.

He saw a Spec ops elite that Unclocked But before the marine could fire at the stealth elite the pods doors closed all the way and the pod lounched then along with others that were lounchef out the ship.

Johnson goes to Ruby who was holding her chest.

"Ruby! Stay still we need to see how much damage the plasma did" Johnson says as he told a marine to come.

"OK let me see" the marine said as he walks up out of his seat.

Ruby looks at the marine that moved her hands "What is-AH!" She yelps as she felt the marine touch them.

"Strange?" The marine medic said confused since he did not feel any deep wounds on her."Normally plasma dose more damage to organic skin" he then looms at the 3 places that the plasma bolts hit her and he saw they were only one digree burns "One digree burns?" He was now truly surprised.

"Everyone hang onto something" the pilot of the pod warns" since we're going to land on something soon!" He says as they were heading to what appears to be a giant ring.

"What the heck is that?" One marine suddenly says.

"I don't know but we're going to land on it" the pilot replies.

As for Ruby she looks at the Ring, she wonders what that thing was truly she really never seen something like it at all as she was so curious she forgot about her first digree burns right now.

Johnson then looks at ruby and yells at her "RUBY GET INTO YOUR SEAT!"

That made Ruby snap out of it as she headed to the seat as the pod flies towards the Mysterious ring they were coming in hot as they entered the rings atmosphere as they entered it heading towards a area of the rings. But unknown to her she will cross paths with a super soldier soon that was in another pod.

Note: Well here's Chapter two! Hope it's enjoyable.
