Kulu ended the video when they left the cave.

"Amazing, the endurance this young one has and the strength is incredible for a child to skillfully possess." The commander said. His name is Kaman.

Kulu could not help but smirk at Kaman's amazement, "Thanks I'll be sure to pass on your complements." Kulu said as he blew out a smoky ring.

The doctor entered the tent, "I finished removing the shrapnel, and she woke up then fell right back asleep."

"So it went off well?" Kulu asked.

"Well she woke up when I removed the last piece of shrapnel. I suspect the reason she stayed asleep is because of exhaustion."

"Thank you for your report. Now please leave and check on her soon." Kaman said, with that the doctor left, leaving Kulu and Kaman sitting and smoking together.

"Any new human activity?" Kulu asked.

"Yes, some scouts spotted some humans wandering near here and we have to be careful. For if they find out we have a human, no a human child here they might want her back."

"Your right, the human who attacked her earlier was alone. And it may have been different with another solider but each human is different. They will each follow a different path on different situations, different emotions, and each will have a different outcome. That solider who attacked her was following his own opinion he never cared, but others might."

The doctor rushed into the tent breathing heavily.

"What is wrong? Takn tell me what happened!" Kaman ordered.

"Sirs, the child…"

"Yes what about the child?"

"The child is gone and there are humans in the camp! They're attacking sirs!" After the doctor finished, Kulu, Kaman and the doctor, Takn heard gunfire from human weapons and……… a child's scream.

When Kulu heard the scream he bolted out of the tent to fetch his armor. Oh by the Forerunners what is happening!? Another scream was heard it was also the child's. Don't worry young one I'm coming!


20 minutes earlier.

There were 5 soldiers based on a nearby hill and one was looking at the covenant camp through infrared binoculars.

"There," the soldier pointed. "In the tent in section 4. Human life form detected, and judging by its size I'd say it's the person we are looking for."

"So who are we looking for again exactly?" a young marine with sandy blond hair asked.

"Were you awake in debriefing? It's Spartan -111, Mary although she hates that name. She is one of the last few Spartans left alive.," the soldier looking through the binoculars said.

The captain, messaged Ajax, the team leader. "Ok listen up men, you go in there, get her, then get out."

"Yes sir." the battalion said.

"Move out."

The group stalked around the perimeter of the camp, slowly making their way to the medical tent, and swiftly avoiding any elites.

"Ajax?" the captain asked.

"Yes sir."

"Is the Trojan Horse going smoothly?"

"Trojan Horse is done."

"Good move on to 'Rescue Helen of Troy'."

"Yes sir, now retrieving 'Helen of Troy'." Ajax finished. Ajax slipped soundlessly into the tent and saw Mary. "Hey boys."

"Yah." the group replied.

"I've found Mary and her back has been treated on, oh man, her back is pretty torn up. Poor girl, she probably was surprised by a frag and got hurt."

"Well hurry up Ajax!" the sandy hair soldier.

Ajax picked up Mary and her eyes fluttered open and then she panicked, she the started trying to worm herself out of his arms.

"Stay away from me. Let me go." she said, she was still drowsy from the pain medication.

"Calm down," Ajax said, he grabbed her glasses and slipped them on her face "here with these you'll see we're all friends here." but with her vision clearer she was in even more distress.

"Let me go! Let me go! Hel-" she started to shout but was then silenced.

Ajax rushed out of the tent holding Mary as she struggled for freedom. They turned the corner as the doctor approached the tent. The doctor looked at the ground and saw footprints, humans! He quickly peered into the tent, Oh shit. He then walked away.

The doctor approached a guard, "Humans have entered the camp and they have the child. Bring it back alive or we'll most likely face Kulu Gammee's wrath."

"Right." with that the guard rushed toward the medical tent. While the doctor ran to the other side of the camp to tell Kaman and Kulu what was happening.


Ok review of my day so far……… Reach was glassed, we crashed, I saved an elite, I was almost killed, the elite saved me, I found out his name was Kulu Gammaee, and now I've been captured. Ugh what a day…………… I'm hungry. I just kept squirming.

"Stop squirming do you want me to drop you?" the soldier named Ajax said.

That's the point you idiot. I then got one of my legs free; I then calmed down, chose my target, and waited.Your going down, you big behemoth.

"Thank you."

"We have to hurry or the split-jaws will noticed that we ran off with their prisoner." a young soldier said.

"Right." Ajax turned his head. No, thank you. I aimed and landed a nice, hard, and probably an incredibly painful kick. I was slightly impressed because he didn't even scream, but he dropped me and fell to his knees holding his crotch. I sprinted but was tackled by a young sandy hair soldier.


(Point of view-sandy hair soldier)

I have to admit her aim was true and I know Ajax is built like a Spartan, but………… oh shit that had to hurt! Ajax let go but I caught her and she began to put up a good fight.

"Oww my balls…." Ajax groaned.

"Skrai!" an alien yelled.

"Damn they found us sir!" I yelled.

"Keep shooting!" Ajax yelled " Base, Base come in here we have a slight problem."

"State your problem." The base replied.

"The Trojans are attacking! I repeat, The Trojans have located Helen of Troy and boy they want her back."

"Get her out! I repeat, Get her out of there, now!"

"Cadet!" Ajax shouted at me. "Get her out now!"

"Right sir." I began to drag her with me to the edge of the camp but she wouldn't stop squirming.

"Please stop moving! We are trying to save you! You idiot!" I told her.

"No! No!! No!!! Let me go!!!!" She shouted and screamed for help, poor kid she must be scared. She turned her self around and screamed loudly. The whole camp probably heard that scream. My ears felt like church bells were ringing. Her struggling continued, and she said something very strange, " Gammaeed!! Help!" This surprised me, who is Gammaeed? A split face…… No, could it?

Plasma and bullets flew by me, and time felt slowed, when I looked around I was left. Many were dead some injured, grass was burning and also flesh, but why wasn't I dead. All of them looked trigger happy, but didn't shoot. I looked at sierra -111, they wanted her alive. At the rate of her squirming she wouldn't break free. I heard heavy footsteps; Mary stopped moving her eyes followed the moving split face. I gripped tighter just incase she bolted, I saw the squid face she was looking at.

The creature was roughly 8 maybe even 9 ft tall, dark blue maybe even black skin it was hard to tell underneath its blood red armor. I hope my camera catches all of this. This one most likely was a higher rank; it had a bandaged side, which was fresh. Sierra -111 saw that and she tried to get out.

Her squirming got her arm free she glared at me with ice cold eyes that could pierce your soul. I then had a flashback I was back at base, it was the locker room, and we were talking about the Spartans…

"I don't see the big deal. They are just kids." I said

"Oh really…… could a normal kid kill you without even trying?" an ODST said.

"No, I guess not…" I said. The ODST, they were hard as nails, but so many were actually killed by the Spartans, and not the enemy.

"I heard that they could kill you, maim you, disarm you and more with only arm or leg free. But if you ever find yourself fighting one, or holding one. Don't let them get a arm free, an arm is about 10 times worse than a leg."

Sierra -111 then entered the room, she scratched her head and asked, and "I'm lost" Ajax took her out of the room.

"What about that one?" I asked, I was talking about Sierra -111.

They all went pale. "She is one of the more dangerous ones. Smart as a whip that one is. Her main weapon is her appearance, and she has excellent aim. Also she is double jointed and flexible." They said. Charlie was like a man who saw hell and came back a changed man, he then spoke up, " Although they are still in training the first thing they learn besides teamwork, is how to kill without a weapon," He walked up to me, "if you ever fight that one just pray she is on a merciful day, so she can kill you swiftly."

I came back to the present and she was still glaring at me, this wasn't one of her merciful days. Her lips made the words ' I'm sorry' and I felt a hard jab in my stomach, I wanted to curl up but then her arm turned and her elbow was sent to my chin, and she elbowed my chest. My grip faltered for a second but I still held on, I kept backing up and she aimed for my shins and knees. That one split face moved in slowly but never got close. She wasn't the strongest one but she had a deadly aim, already several of my ribs were broken, I was bleeding from my nose and mouth. I felt a painful jab in my knee and heard a bone shattering sound; Sierra -111 had finally shattered my knee. I gave out a cry in pain, and I let her go. I fell next to Ajax, who was still alive but just hanging on by a thread.

She ran and was grabbed by the alien, she looked back at me and moved her mouth again and formed the words, 'I am sorry'.

"Ajax……" I said coughing up blood.

"Yah…" He said weakly

"It's time for Troy to burn…"

He gave a weak laugh, "Yah I guess it is." We looked around at they were closing in.

"Goodbye………Ajax." I said.

"Goodbye………Odysseus." Ajax said.

They came closer to finish us off but it was time to make them pay for what they did. "BURN IN HELL!" I yelled

"YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!" Ajax yelled.

"Everyone! Run!" She screamed, I looked at her as she latched onto the one with the cape with fear in her eyes.

3...

The alien looked at her it shouted, "Fantal! Fantal!"

2...

He picked her up and ran, they wont make it. The explosion would take a good chunk of the camp out. Taking most of the bastards with me. I thought.

1...

My God…and Lord Jesus Christ… have mercy on her. I closed my eyes, and wondered what heaven would be like.

Boom.


Kulu picked me up and ran like hell the last thing I heard was ' Burn in hell!' was the last I heard, before they were enveloped in a bright light. It was like the light that I saw envelop the other S.I.T.'s. Kulu was running like the devil himself was on his heels, I looked around everyone was running and even jumping like the ground was caving in. I felt the heat on my face, I looked in front of me and we were barely half way back to the medical tent. My arms were wrapped around his neck and he held me like I was a small child.

"We're not going to make it." I said, I was fearful and I was crying. I buried my face in his shoulder.

"We will, your not going to die." Kulu said. He held me tighter as the heat got closer. "I promise…"

"Gammaeed… I'm scared." I started to whine like a scared child.

Kulu had panic in his voice. "Don't cry young one. I'm here"

I looked behind us and the light slowed and the force of the initial explosion came. Kulu quickly buried my head against his chest and we were thrown and I drifted into a dreamless sleep. I opened my eyes and saw the morning sky. The familiar smell of burning flesh got me up. I looked around in a panic.

"H'el! Gammaeed! Kulu! Kulu where are you!" There were many dead, and the smell of burning flesh was heavy in the air. I looked at all of the bodies and none of them were Kulu. Maybe we were separated during the explosion… but whatever the case may be I got some distance! I had been blown to the farther side of the camp.

The ground was charred and still burning, the trees were dead and it looked like a horror movie. But the smell of burning and rotting flesh was so horrible. My stomach couldn't take it anymore. I leaned against a tree and vomited, the little food I did eat was now on the ground.

"This sucks!" I shouted "I WANT MY MOMMY!!" and I meant that, for my mom was the only thing in the world I wanted to see.

I turned around and saw the only vaguely familiar thing, the medical tent it was completely untouched by the blast. And next to that was Kulu.

"Gammameed!!!" I ran up to him, he was still breathing. His head moved back and forth and he was slightly moaning.

"Gammameed…Gammameed…Wake up." I pushed him slightly as I said it.

"Kelia…I'm still sleeping." He waved his hand up.

"Wake up!" I said. He pushed my face away and I fell back.

"Kelia go… bother someone else."

Now I was tired of him calling me Kelia, "Kelia? Gammameed, who's Kelia." He finally woke up, Finally!!!

He sat up and stretched, his hand ran against his mandibles, it reminded me of what some people do when they wake up. Huh I guess alien or human it's universal.

"Kelia was my daughter, but sadly she died before her 15th year." Kulu said solemnly

"Oh, I'm sorry." I said.

Kulu looked at me and saw my downcast face, "it's not your fault," he patted my head which brought my spirits up, "actually I should be thanking you."

"Why?" I asked like a 5 year old.

"Well you saved me and many others. For if you had not told us to run we would have died."

I hadn't really realized that, "well I'm pretty amazing aren't I?" I said to Kulu filling with pride.

Kulu laughed, "why yes, yes you are…" he paused, "ummm young one." he asked slightly puzzled.

"Yes Gammaeed."

"What is your name?"

With that question I realized that I never told anyone my name, "well I'm Mary."

"M-air-ee," Kulu tried to pronounce my name, "Mary.. Well that's a nice name." he finally got it right.

"Well I don't really like it…." Man I wish he could give me a name…that's it, I'm a freaking genius. "Well I have a suggestion."

"Lets hear it."

"How about for convenience sake you give me a better name."

Kulu sat up, crossed his legs, and thought. "Hmmmm…." he snapped his fingers, "yes I have a better name for you. I wanted to name my daughter this but my wife got to pick the name."

"What is it?"

"Aeia." At that he smiled, and that name was pleasing to my ears also.

"I'll take it!" I was so excited that I stood up and noticed that my poor clothes were becoming less and less like clothes and more like tattered pieces of cloth sown together.

"Aeia go to the medical tent and get looked over, also grab your bag then wait here. H'el will be waiting for you." With that he stood up and began to walk away.

"Wait!," Kulu turned his head, "where are you going?" I did not want to be alone.

"I need to see someone, don't worry Aeia you'll be fine." He turned and was hidden by the other elites, and tents.

I ran inside the tent, grabbed my 'diary'. I started to speak, "Log entry title: The Second Day on Halo. This is what happened….."

This means in thought or in head…

This means flash back it might change because I'm a fickle person.

This means… well I haven't chosen what bold will be and might not use it so yay!

HALO!!!!! Ok my peeps……(note for those people who do read this I will never say peeps again) I finally completed chapter 4.

OK the pronunciation guide: Kelia- Key-lay it sounds like that

Aeia- Iea and that's really it

Kulu- Coo-lu yah it sounds like that

H'el- ok its not Hell, but Heal got it.
