A/N: So, I've decided to not rewrite that chapter. I think it's okay for now. But the question still stands. How should I write it exactly? What do you guys want? Both of their points of view, or just Rai133n's? I NEEDS TO KNOW! XD

Disclaimer: - . I hates Da disclaimer. Reminds me I don't own something I want.

"You had no right!" "I don't need the right to do something I knew was the right thing to do!" "You can't just go around killing innocent people!" "Innocent? They weren't innocent! They were going against the UNSC!" "No. You've been twisting things to your liking. And when they don't go well, you get rid of them. Just like Adam." "This meeting is over." Footsteps leading away. "Don't pretend you didn't kill him! Don't pretend he wasn't your son!"

The lift is fast and swift, but not so much as for the Chief to not ask me some things.

"How did you survive the glassing?" He asked me.

"I'm not sure. All I know is I'm lucky to still be alive." I responded.

In truth, that was a lie. I didn't know the how, but I watched as the whole planet was glassed. Even know I can still see the bodies of dead soldiers and enemy covenant. But what terrified me the most was watching those still alive burn. The memory still plays on my mind from time to time. And usually, as Sparklez would put it, I tend to not respond or have a harsh attitude towards others afterward.

The surface was a burning red and black. Even know I can still see where people had burned. The images haunt me. As the chief walks forward, carefully scanning the way with his gun, I see the signal and where it had come from. And instantly I know that that is not the way I want to go.

"Chief?"

"Yes?"

"You said you had a way off this planet?"

"Yes."

"What kind?"

"A ship."

"Alrighty then. Can we go there?"

I know that if anything, he might want to inspect the signal. But I know that what's over there I don't want to see. I don't even want to go near it. All this time and they've left me alone. But then they got the Chief here. And...

"You're leaving?" "Yeah. They said they have a special mission for me." "A special mission? But..." "It's okay. Everything will we okay. They said it'll be easy. All I have to do is accompany some supplies. No problem. Right?" Footsteps. "Timothy. Captain wants to see you." "Alright. Thanks Rachel." Footsteps leading away. "Okay. I'll be going Rai. Don't wait up. It'll be over in no time." Footsteps leading away. Door closes. "You have no idea Timothy. They don't plan on you coming back."

Thanks to the heavens, The Chief didn't go any closer to the signal than I wanted to. He scoped it out from far away, and, seeing those things, must have decided it best not to get any closer.

It was when the static burst in the comms that I snapped back to reality.

"Chief. We seem to be picking up alien chatter. What is down there?" An unknown voice to me said.

"A new enemy, sir. And a surviving AI."

"Another enemy? First the Covenant. Then the Flood. Now this? What are they called Chief?"

"What did you see?" "I'm not sure. I can't remember." "Here." "What is it?" "It'll help you sleep. We can access your memories that way." "Is it safe?" "Yes." "Okay." Pause. "Go back to Stardust Mission Delta. Are you there?" "Yes." "What do you see?" "My team." "What else? Who all is there?" "Clementine, Rodenburg, Smith, Hankans, and Hemming." "Okay. What_" "There's someone else there too." "Who? Who else is there?" "Emry. Charles Emry." "Okay. What is your team doing?" "We're looking for something. Special mission. We're supposed to retrieve the supplies and escort it back." "What_" "I can't see it anymore. I'm losing it." "Focus on your team. Are they talking?" "Yes." "What are they saying?" "Clementine. She's talking about how when we get back she's going to be the first to shower. Hankans isn't talking, Neither is Emry. But Hankans is the one leading the group, he hasn't talked to us since the mission started. Clementine walks next to him. Smith is saying that if it was any greener he'd go blind and Hemming is muttering about a bad feeling." "What is Emry doing?" "He's walking by the group. Not with us. But along side us. Like a Shepard." "Okay. What happened next?" "Hankans told us to stop. First time he's spoken to us. We all pull our weapons out, and we can hear it. There's rustling in the leaves and trees around us. We can't see it. We can't see anything. It's like ghosts or something." "Go on." "Hemming starts shouting, and then Smith. Rodenburg. Where's Rodenburg! Emry's disappeared too! He just vanished! I turn and look at Hemming, to see why he's screaming. But there is no Hemming. Just...just. Oh my god. He's dead. Smiths' dead too! Clementine and Hankans are running, I follow after them. But I can hear it! It's behind me! No! It's on me! Oh My God! OH MY GOD! No! HELP!" "Get the medical team stat! Lipton! Respond Lipton! We're losing him!"

"Unknown sir."

"We're sending in a pelican to bring you top side. Standby."

I keep on eye on the signal. I know what they are. And even though I know what they are, I can't fight them. I know what, but not the who. I can't access that data right now. It's being blocked.

. . .

"Did you get a glimpse of it Chief?"

We're on the bridge now. Sparklez floating around the room aimlessly. One of the crew keeps looking over at me. Chief had put me on the pedestal. So now I had access to the ships controls. I can't help but be happy. After all this time, I'm not alone anymore.

"No sir."

"Great! How are we supposed to fight these things then!"

I turn around to face them.

"You don't."

"What?" He asks as he turns and looks at me.

This is the first time the whole bridge has looked at me. And I can't help but stand taller.

"This may be a new species to you, but to me they're not. Right now, you don't fight them."

"And exactly who are you?"

"I'm Rai133n. The only survivor of Reach."

"Survivor of Reach? We have plenty. Plenty of people got off of Reach on time."

"I meant the only one alive AFTER the glassing. I was still on the planet."

I turn to the Chief.

"This species particularly takes to hot climates. But it can survive in the cold. It inhabit the planet s that were glassed by the Covenant. Consuming anything it can get ahold of. You can't fight them now. They'd only kill the rest of you off."

I look a each person in turn.

"This is not a war we will win."

"Then what do you propose we do?" The Captain asked.

"Run. For now, we prepare."

"And do you mind telling us what they're called?"

I smile. "Sure. Sparklez?"

The small orb stops in the middle of the room, and a dark, deep voice is emitted throughout the whole ship.

"THE IMPERIAL ARE COMING"
