Continuation of the previous chapter of course I do enjoy feed back even negative as it gives me advice and shows me what to work on
As my pod goes barreling violently through the atmosphere, shaking, and rocking, I remember my first drop back at the academy, it was the scariest moment of my life, I had collided with another pod. I tried to keep my cool but it was hard to when you think you're about to die. As I was lost in thought my body moved on its own, it was almost like instict to pull the rip cord for the chute. Once we were grounded, I finally open my eyes and ejected the door to gather my equipment.
I comm check with HQ before I check with Vivian just incase her landing got rough. After about 3 minutes into the mission we finally regrouped in a old shack in the woods the remains of the people that lived there was still right where they we murdered, "These god damned animals say they have honor when they don't even honor the dead", I say as I cover them with a tarp from outside. I sit down and look at my old friend, she was deathly silent like someone switched off the human side and only left a killer corpse... "Is everything alright" I speak to try and break the silence she looks at me and chuckles like what I asked was a joke, "Yeah, is everything alright with you is the question", "I mean I am as good as I can be after a week of me finding out my only friend from home is actually alive and after being threatened by a higher up not to get intimate with you".
As soon as I finish my sentence crouches and lifts up a finger signalling someone is above us I stand and listen after shucking my SMG and point it at the ceiling, I hear the rafters above us creaking as something walks across the roofing it get right above me and stops I move back slowly and aim at the spot where the sound came from it creaks once more but this time I burst at the sound with a thud soemthing hit the roof and rolls of the side opposite of the door, unable to see through the window what it was we make our way to the door and go around to the side and peak around the corner whatever it was it was leaning against the opposite side of a tree. I huff to build courage and flank aeound the tree it, was a Elite but not like the usual ones this one was slender and smaller and it was hilding something close. It looks at me with fear but remains silent, and it hits me that it is just a female and it was holding a child wrapped in traditional cloth, I stand watching as the life in her eyes starts to slip further into nothingness, she was in pain. A part of me wanted to watch her bleed out for all of the people that have been killed by the Covenant but the other part told me she wasn't part of the massacres that happened in this war, I decided to end her pain and pull out my magnum and point it at her face but before I can pull the trigger she hold out her child to me, "I dont know what you want me to do" somehow she understood and faced towards a tower of black clouds.
Our mission continues just with a minor set back as I make my way towards the clouds in about an hour to an hour and a half I arrive at a small campsite where at least 10 male Elite Warriors stood guard and the females conversate around a fire. I had something that they wanted so I wasn't afraid of being seen, I stroll into the camp and head straight for the giant main tent the as a fraction of males group around the females and the rest stand infront of the entrance with their swords at ready they are waved away by a older elite with a younger male standing behind him.
The younger one recognised me I could tell because he pointed and spoke in their native tongue, "You killed this childs wife and come to kill us as well do you not?" the elder speaks "Ah so you do speak english good and yes I did kill his wife but I do not come to kill you all I bring the child that she had" I say as I take off my pack and set it down on the ground and open the top fold revealing the child "Now if you don't mind I'm going to leave" I say as i turn to walk away but my path being blocked by 3 elites "Alright then I guess this has to end with someone dying right?", the elder chuckles and waves his hand ordering my death but before they could realize that i wasn't the one that is dying here a crackle from my partner's sniper zips through the air and rips through the skulls of 2 of the guards and clips ones jaw, completely obliterated it leaving him a mute, ones they realize I am not alone I flip a switch exploding the child launching shrapnel everywhere with a pink and red cloud of gory killing the rest of the guards luckly my armor is more advanced than theirs
