Hello! I would like to warn you that-
Holo: im the main character for most of this chapter!
I walked down the hall, trying to think of a saying that described how I felt.
...Aha!
"Out of the frying pan and into the fire"
not quite right, but it would work.
My back was the pan, my head was the fire.
"Why was I so careless? 15 minutes! I had them out for 15 MINUTES!" I yelled at myself.
The safe time limit for all six Knights was 10 minutes.
After that I would begin to slip into insanity.
Marco had told me it would take 20 cycles, or minutes, for me to be unable to recover.
My back shot another bolt of pain through my body, and the forerunner symbols glowed a light blue.
I had those carved into my back by Marco, so I could always call them.
It was my mark of maturity.
I fell down to my hands and nee's. I tried to stand, but had no energy in my legs.
I heard someone coming.
One of the Spartans coming to take me down?
No...it was too light.
A hand touched my shoulder, and I lashed out, but failed to hit anything
"Its me!" A women's voice spoke.
The ONI agent.
"Why should I trust you anymore than everyone else? I don't even know you name!" I yelled, and I coud feel myself running out of energy, my eyes loosing their sight slowly.
The ONI agent stayed quiet for a moment, and I couldnt tell if it was from shock or not.
I heard a deep sigh, and then she spoke.
"My name is Holo."
I pushed myself off my hands, and slumped on the wall.
"Nice...name..." I said, then the blackness over came my eyes, and sound started fading.
The last thing I could truly hear was Holo yelling for medics.
I walked down the well light hall, heading for the Marlovent's bridge.
I had just come from the medical ward.
They said Nick would be all right, and that all he needed was some rest.
It took them a little to convince me.
Now that I think about it, I wonder why I found it hard to leave him.
I pushed the thought away for later, right now I needed to focus.
I walked up to the door. It took a quick scan of me, blinked for a few seconds, then the door opened.
I walked in, and as the door closed behind me I started walking towards the holo-table in the middle of the room, where a orange-red haired man stood.
That was the Captain, Kent.
He heard me, and looked up to greet me.
"Welcome to the place where everything happens, Holo, if I may call you that." He said with a genuine smile.
"Its my pleasure, and yes, I would prefer to be called by my name." I said as I walked up to the holo-table,and a hologram popped up.
He looked like a old-world Mafia leader, fancy suit and everything.
"I ditto the Captain." he said, with a thick french accent.
"This is Vex, the ship AI" Kent said.
"Nice to meet you, Vex" I said
He nodded his head, and Kent spoke.
"We are heading to meet Infinity, the Cove has built up a large force of ships."
"And it need's two infinity class ships to deal with it?" I asked, caught off guard by this fact.
"Its a rather big Fleet, Ma'am." He said, a look of concern on his face
Well this was a wrench in my plans.
"Then I have a request." I said as crossed my arms across my chest.
"Ask away." Kent said
"I would like to have one off your men transfer to my ship, Endless Shadows."
he raised an eyebrow.
"Who?"
"Nick Jackson."
His face tightened a little.
"Thats asking a lot from me." He said "He's one of my best fighter."
"I am fully aware of that, and I need his skills for my objectives."
he sighed explosively.
"I guess I don't really have a choice, do I? you are after all, ONI's heir. Osman would make it happen ether way..." He paused for a minute
"I'll send you his files." He said
I shook my head "No need. I already have them." I looked at the holo-table "R, pease show yourself."
A solid black hood appeared, with one bright red snake eye, glowing on the left side of the hoods cap there was nothing but black everywhere else.
He looked at the captain.
"Your encrypting systems are rather..." he paused as if thinking about a word "...Poor, and that's sugar coating it." his voice sounded a little deep a poisonous as if any word could be your demise.
Vex popped up.
"You dare say my security systems are POOR?!" He yelled, his face purple.
R looked at him.
"Yes. It was quite easy to get in."
Vex stayed quiet, and calmed himself.
"everything easy for you 7th gen AI's isnt it?
R did not reply, instead he turned to me and said "I'll be waiting in the ship." His voice was genital this time. Then he waked off the edge of the holo-table, and disappeared.
"That was...intresting." Kent said, his eyebrows raised in surprise. he looked at me. "Anyways, Nicks yours now. take care of him for me, will ya?"
I simply nodded.
"Thank you captain." I said, then turned to walk out the Bridge, going back to the Medical ward.
Time to see if he had woken up.
I opened my eyes, and everything was fuzzy.
I blinked a few times.
There we go.
I looked around. I was in a bed, an IV in my arm.
The Medical ward?
"You awake, finally?" a mans voice said
I looked towards the source.
It was a man in what looked like a grey undersuit. He had whitish grey hair. His back was turned to me
"Who are you?" I asked.
"You don't remember me, I take it." He said.
"No, now who are you?"
He turned around.
The first thing I noticed was the robotic jaw.
Then his eyes.
Oh dear god.
It was the man who had taken me down when I had first met the UNSC. I had almost killed him.
It was Raiden.
MAJOR cliff hanger suckers! it feels SOOOOO good to finally get MGS in. a quick warning to the strict fans. im not all to shure of raidens personality, so im just kind of going with my own version, if you dont like it, dont read it.
