Chapter 3
: Friendly Sparring
5: Spartans are the only ones qualified for wearing of Mark V and the Mark VI MJOLNIR armour, as normal humans can not withstand the increased power.
"This? This is something I am most proud of, this is the Spartan laser, bring in the test," in came a scientist.
Driving a wraith.
The scientist inside ran for cover, as did everyone else, except for Dr. Blaine, who pulled the trigger. For several seconds there was nothing except a ringing that ascended, until, a red light Flew from the laser, completely annihilating the Wraith.
"We'll take it"
Three days passed on the Isolation, they fitted the Spartan laser to the warthog they had been fixing. They got three bubble grenades, each. Ziizika and Bryce stayed as far away from each other as possible. And Roger had taken to watching the ODST Sparring cage. That had been installed on the ship. Normally, on a Heavy ship like Isolation or the Pillar of Autumn they wouldn't install things that could end in the injury. But in this case, the Vice Admiral had personally requested them. Unlike most women, she enjoyed watching small sparring matches, and it kept the ODST's from resorting to chess. Then two people came into the room, for a match.
Meanwhile on the other side of the ship, in the bridge, the Vice Admiral was setting the slip space coordinates for a system near the one they were heading for. Which they would go to first. An ODST ran in.
"Its Ziizika and Bryce Ma'am, their going to the sparring cage. "
The Vice Admiral ran, on the way, she noticed the amount of ODST's that were heading to the sparring cage and thought 'things sure spread fast around here'
As she entered the room, she saw Roger sitting on a bench near the cage, easily able to see the match that was about to take place.
"Can't you stop this?" she said to Roger, who turned to her, and gestured for her to sit down.
"It's best not to get involved ma'am, if their going to kill themselves now, its better than killing each other in the middle of a battlefield." The Vice Admiral just stared at him, eyes wide, jaw open, grasping for words.
"How can you be so heartless?" she said after much stuttering.
"I'm not"
Bryce flexed his arms, and shoulders, jumping up and down to get himself pumped, he was wearing black Trousers like Ziizika, and no shirt unlike Ziizika "I'm gunna knock that pretty head off you missy" he said, cracking his knuckles before pulling on his gloves.
"That's what you think Compadrè" Ziizika replied, beating her gloves against her black tank top. A marine walked in between them, and stated the rules, which neither of them intended to follow. This was a Spartan match now.
"Rule 1, no grabbing, Rule 2, no biting, Rule 3, after a three count your out, rule four, no strangling, rule 5 no foot to nuts contact these are the five ONI rules in fist to fist combat in this vessel, please obey them. "
"Yeah whatever" both of them said together, and got into fighting stances. Bryce jumped side to side like an idiot, while Ziizika watched his every move. Bryce did a barrel roll, and attempted to knock Ziizika off balance with his foot, but Ziizika sidestepped, leaving Bryce's foot to crash into the side of the cage, making a dent in the three-inch thick Iron bars. Ziizika's foot came crashing down towards Bryce, but he grabbed it, twisting it and so twisting Ziizika in the air, a bell rang out,
"Rule 1 broken, cease fighting." Called the marine, who was banging on the cage. Ziizika stood, again, and with Bryce still clutching her leg, grabbed his arm, making for an un-natural grappling contest. Bryce's foot came lashing into Ziizika's back, making her cry out in pain and let go, but during this, Bryce had let go of her leg, and so both were free of each others death grip.
Ziizika's palm came crushing into Bryce's Kidney's, making Him fall backwards, and clutch at the area. But managing also to keep himself up. One hand threw to the other, as the fist to fist became a literal fist to fist, until Ziizika's arm caught Bryce on the side of the face, causing him to loose focus for a moment. Giving Ziizika enough time to knee him in the crotch, which is really unfair to a guy. Bryce fell unconscious from pain, and understood only then why she disliked all authority but for Roger.
Roger ran into the cage, and grabbed Ziizika from Bryce, who was starting to gain consciousness. And Ziizika stopped,
"This is not the way to fight; this is a Friendly Sparring Session" Ziizika bent, and helped Bryce up, who mumbled Sorry to her on the way up, as soon as Ziizika left him to stand on his own, he fell onto one knee, and clutched his Kidneys,
"Looks like I'll be pissing blood tonight" said Bryce, as he got up again, and limped away. The Vice Admiral followed and directed that Bryce be taken to the infirmary.
Two marines who witnessed the match just stared at the area where two of the greatest super soldiers just battled it out. One of them, who's name was Dave suddenly said,
"What a rush"
