A/N: Ack! I'm sorry about not updating for a bit. Schools been chaotic, and I've also had Fencing 2 days a week for 2 hours straight. -.-'

And I've also decided that this will become a ChiefxOC fic in later chapters(With a tad bit starting here in chapter 3).

Heres the next chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 3:

"Outskirts"

Slinging her shotgun over her shoulder, Kira exhaled slowly as she leaned against a wall for a moment, her mechanical hand flexing slightly.

'This mission would be a hell of a lot easier if I were to use my force powers and lightsaber..But what would the UNSC do, if and when they find out..? ' She thought to herself.

"Aliit ori'shya taldin. " Kira muttered under her breath,as she walked over towards the Chief, causing the Spartan to roll his eyes slightly beneath his visor at Kira's frequent use of her native language.

" Mind translating, Sergeant? " The Chief asked.

Kira chuckled softly as a small smile tugged at the corner of her lips. " 'Family is more than blood.' " She explained, with a slight shrug. " It's a old Mandalorian proverb I was taught as a child. " She added, taking her shotgun off her shoulders and reloading it.

The only response Kira got was a slight nod as the Chief made his way past the now ruined Zanzibar Hotel.

The young, six foot one sergeant rolled her eyes at the Chiefs lack of response as she followed a few paces behind him towards the second pelicans last known position.

Looking over the Chiefs shoulder, Kira smiled slightly as she spotted Sergeant Stacker coming out to greet them.

" Chief! Glad you could make it, the crash site is on the other side of this hotel, Chief. The Covenant's crawling all over it. Follow me." Stacker said.

" ...Always on the move.." Kira said, as she and the Chief followed Stacker into the darkened hotel.

A low chuckle came from Kira's right. "No argument here, Sergeant. " The Chief said, giving her shoulder a light squeeze before moving deeper into the ruined hotel.

" Stay outta sight. " Stacker whispered, hefting his battle rifle onto his shoulder and taking aim.

Kira gave a quick nod in acknowledgement and crouched down, her back pressed firmly against a wall. " Here we go..." She whispered softly, gripping her shotgun as she waited for Covenant troops to show up.

"Enemy contacts, dead ahead! " another marine shouted, as two Elites and five grunts came up the hallway, allowing complete chaos to ensue.

" Mir'osik! " Kira snarled, as she spun on her right foot to avoid being stuck by a plasma grenade. "Why don't you chew on this? " She added as she fired a round from her shotgun into the face of the last remaining Elite.

" Nice shooting, Sarge. "

Kira blinked slightly as she looked towards her left, then smiled. " Nice to see that you're still alive, Snipe. " She said as Private Adams walked over to her.

" Hell, Sarge. It takes more than a few groups of those Covenant bastards to take me out of the fight. " Adams quipped, as a cocky grin spread across his face.

Kira laughed as she brushed a loose strand of hair back behind her ear. " No. You're just one god damn lucky bastard. That's all. " She retorted, before turning back towards the Chief. " Let's move out, Sir. " She said as she moved past him.

The Chief gave a silent nod as he followed Kira. ' Even in that military uniform she still looks..' He blinked beneath his visor and shook his head slightly to rid himself of the thought that had begun to form in his mind.

Kira grinned sadistically as she saw a group of marines in a warthog, heading towards their position.

" Special delivery from Commander Keyes, Chief. " One of the marines stated, as he jumped out of the passengers seat.

" Alright. Let's get this show on the road..." The Chief muttered as he climbed up into the drivers seat.

"No argument from me, Sir. " Kira said, as she climbed into the passengers seat with her shotgun slung over her shoulder.

" The highest concentration of Covenant troops is directly below the carrier. I don't think they want you to get on board. " Cortana said as she continued to sort through the data she was collecting.

Kira grinned sadistically again as she spotted a ghost heading towards them.' The Chief is gonna have my head for this...' She though dryly to herself as she gently rested her right foot on the edge of the warthogs foot step. 'Here we go...' She thought as the Ghost came in closer. Kira looked back at the Chief and grinned.

" If you'll excuse me! " She said, as she leapted out of the Warthog and grabbed hold of the Ghost's rear as it flew past.

" What the hell?! " The Chief said in disbelief, as he watched Kira leapt out of the Warthog and grab hold of the Ghost. " ...Insane woman.." He muttered under his breath as he continued to drive to the next objective.

"Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur..." Kira snarled as she curled her mechanical hand into a fist and slammed into the head of the elite driving the ghost, sending him skidding across the pavement. " Here's where the fun begins..." She said as she settled into the drivers seat and took off, following the warthog that was now in the distance.

" Now I'm beginning to think that Sergeant Solaris is just as insane as you are Chief. Especially after that stunt she just pulled. " Cortana said, giving a soft chuckle.

The Chief scowled at Cortanas comment as he gently wrapped on the side of his helmet to shut her up, only earning a quipped reply in response.

" Fine, fine. No need to yell. " She muttered under her breath.

Biting down on her lip slightly, Kira hit the acceleration to try and catch up with the Warthog. ' Oh boy..The Chiefs response to my stunt should be interesting...'

Scowling slightly, Kira pushed all thoughts aside and continued to follow the Chief's Warthog along the beaches of Metropolis...

A/N: Ugh. Didn't realize how hard it was to write that chapter..-.-' And I'll be honest, I'm not overly happy with it, I may even rewite it. And I still hope that the Chief isn't OOC. If he is PLEASE let me know.And I also hope that Kira isn't turning into a marysue. (Shudders.) R & R please! Edit: Did some editing to the chapter. - EE( aka: Rev.)
