Remember this doesn't belong to me, this character actually belongs to Microsoft, and 343! And your welcome for the update on the story!

After what seemed like a short ride through the galaxy that seemed impossible with today's technology only took about three hours. I was rudely awaken by Jethro who hit me on the shoulder, he then gave us our briefing before we left the pelican. "Alright we're going to go through this canyon to the target base. The enemy has patrols during the night so that's why this is a day operation, and if they do it's just a few grunts from what I've read. Any questions?" Everyone stood quite looking at him ready to go. "Alright let's go team,"He yelled over the engine. Everyone got up from their seat and grabbed their guns. My smg was on my hip, and the sniper rifle was to my left near the wall, I grabbed the gun and left the pelican onto the hard rock platform. To then run after the spartans who ran towards the target before me, Jethro gave everyone their positions on the coms, "Alright George Sasha your on me, Dalina you give O'Brien backup in case he gets targeted." Great i'm stuck with Dalina, which could get pretty bad since she apparently has an interest in me. But that's not the worst part about it i'm being babysitted by Spartans again. We split up into two small teams and took different paths, Dalina and I took the path up while the others went down near the entrance. "Give us the signal once you dealt with the enemies on the turrets," Jethro gave me my orders, all I had to do was is kill anything on any turrets. As we found a flat platform on the side of the wall we were at we then set up for snipping. I pulled out any magazines I had for my sniper rifle out and ready for use, and I began to ready the rifle over the edge of the platform. I covered it with leaves so it couldn't be seen easily over the grass, and plants growing around the area. I looked into the scope using smart link for the first time in a while. I didn't even have to move my head to aim with this thing which was the best part about it. I always felt uncomfortable when aiming with the scope, the gun would be way too close to my face and would sometimes end up hitting me in the face if I didn't keep a good grip over the gun. While I smart scoped I noticed that this place was over protected with 4 grunts on turrets, and 6 elites on the smaller turrets. Life would be so much easier if they just allowed us to have just a few more guns on our side. "Hey jethro can you get george to take out a few of the big turrets," I asked Jethro.

"It could reveal our position, but if you're sure on it we'll wait for you to take the first shot," Jethro said angrily.

"Alright i'm going to take out one," I said aiming down at the enemy. I then breathed in but before taking the shot I exhaled. Everyone around the elite that I shot in the head panicked, and it got worse once george took out one of the large turrets. I then aimed down taking three more shots at the smaller turrets as george killed off another turret. Everything was going smooth from that point on, and soon we waited for them to get done on the inside. Dalina said, "How long do you think it will take them?"

"Probably a good 20 minutes or less,"I responded while watching the entrance. She stood over me but soon crept over me putting part of her weight on me as for the rest of the weight she carried herself so I wouldn't be crushed by her armor. I was stuck, and sweating under my helmet. I think she might actually be doing something for jethro, maybe she's here to kill me I wondered. "I think it will take more than 30 minutes," she said disturbingly. "I can take part of my armor off and we can have some fun for a couple of minutes, or I could take my helmet off and we make out with you on top of me…" This was making me sick, I never dreamed of doing someone like her. Nor did I want to she's way to manipulative, and she seemed crazy. She pulled the gun away from me and then began to turn me over, then she pulled her helmet off. She had dark tanned skin and black silky long hair, she put her helmet aside and slowly pulled mine off to see my face. She then rubbed her hand over my rough face down to my chin, and then resumed to kiss me. Luckily though Jethro got on the coms and said,"Get ready we're about to bust out of here in about 3 minutes and reinforcements are coming soon!" Dalina got up mad and put her helmet back on, I put my helmet on and gathered the remaining magazines that had ammo. Dalina said, "We can talk later Helljumper…." I didn't like what this meant, but at least I got away again from her this time, but probably not the next. We headed down from the platform and saw everyone and an elite running with them, so we also ran. As we ran plasma was being shot at us from behind and I was lagging behind to see who our target was. An elite female, I have never seen one before or even up close but she ran quickly towards the pelican. I then tried to run fast as possible with the sniper in my hands but in reaction to having to run I put the sniper on my back and then I ran somewhat a little bit faster but not by much. Sasha grabbed me by the arm and threw me back into the pelican and jumped in as well before the gate closed. I got up and then proceeded to the corner I was at to be screamed at by sasha, "Are you injured anywhere, wait you've been shot let me treat the wound!" I didn't know I was shot at the time till I could feel all the pain shooting through the back of my leg. I screamed in pain on the ship, I could feel it burning all over the wound, but soon after I stopped screaming and fell into a deep sleep.

I was drowning in muddy water, all that was near me was a big door. I tried to kick it open but it wouldn't budge, and the small room I was in began to fall over. But something was happening on the outside, the water was leaking out and I could feel the room I was inside of be thrown else were. Soon the door was being pulled open by someone, I looked for my smg and aimed towards the door fearing that a brute might be trying to kill me. To my surprise it was Cal, I put the gun down as soon as I saw her face. She then moved away from the pod and began taking her armor off. Each piece fell off one by one till she was only wearing her under suit. I jumped out of the pod to watch her further. She then walked to the side of the beach laying on the sand, I thought this was a swamp but I guess I changed my mind in this dream. Cal patted the ground for me to sit on next to her, I walked over to her and sat in the spot she patted on. She laid across the sand quietly while I sat upright, I finally asked her,"What's it like dead?" there was a pause for a moment and she finally said, "It's cold, lonely, and sleepy…."

"I'm sorry you died," I said keeping the tears in.

"It's okay, the missions been over a long time ago…. Why haven't you gotten over it?" She said questioning me. I have never thought about it that way before in along time. Why haven't I gotten over this….

"Stop acting so depressing it makes me depressed, but on the other hand what have you been up to?" She has never asked me this before, this felt so much more real than previous dreams. I responded to her question with the truth, "I've refused to become a spartan, and i'm currently watching over them and completing a mission that involves me protecting an elite who could possibly give us an upper hand against alien races when we have to fight them."

"Sounds like your the babysitter now huh, but you should rethink the spartan thing it could get you a name in the history books," She remarked.

"What do you mean i'll be like the master chief and become the hero of the galaxy," I said jokingly jumping up from the ground. I then looked at Cal who now had this sad face with a question behind it, "What else is on your mind?"

"I'm a nobody ODST, who is being threatened, harassed by these new guys. I read their files, there fresh Spartans fours who think they're privileged. I wish you could deal with them instead of me, but no one knows your dead, they all think you went MIA."

"It's okay to cry if you want too."

"I don't want too, it doesn't seem necessary."

"You know some people think that spartan two's act like machines but i'd have to say that you've proven that wrong besides being whiny about the spartans." I looked back at her and almost cried but kept it in."

"Come here," She motioned me to be on top of her, I moved towards her putting my left leg over her and standing over her. This part felt all too familiar to me, before I left each dream I would kiss her. I lowered my head towards her and we began to kiss, it wasn't a tongue to tongue it was just a simple kiss. I looked at her after backing away from her then went back into kiss her. But this time it felt more real, I could feel myself leaving her and finally awakening.

I awoke carried by Dalina, "What the hell," I jumped off standing but then feeling a sharp pain on my leg. "Mother of God! That frickin burns!" Sasha got up and put her arm under mine to keep me balanced, "You fell asleep from blood loss, you lucky I was able to patch you up." I was lucky I could see that the rag over my leg was covered in blood. I then got sasha off of me and moved to a seat to lay back and rest, but as soon as I rested someone unfamiliar said, "He's an interesting one." I looked up to see that an elite was onboard, "Oh your Kuhe, i'm your bodyguard I guess you could say."

Kuhe smirked and said,"You don't seem to be doing good at your job then, please do take care of yourself. I've been informed that i'm to train these four in the use of plasma weapons correct?"

I responded with the obvious answer, "Yes, my commander informed me of you, and that your to train these four, while I watch over you from a distance."

"That is good, is their anything I could teach you if your interested," She asked.

"Not unless you know how to revive the dead, then no," it then soon got quite and the intercom interrupted the quiet, "it's going to be a long ride but we'll be there as soon as possible we just have to pass 54 planets, until then get some rest people." It was going to be a long ride so why not take a nap.

Thank you all for reading again, I won't be updating the story quickly but expect at least an update once a week since it's the summer. Stay tuned for more.
