Halo: The Truth of Noble Six
Chapter 4: The End
Location: Reach
September 1 2552
Esztergom Space Port boy I was happy to see in the distance.
Emile said eta was about five minutes. I saw the marines they were scared and I don't blame them.
I mean we are stranded on a planet with covenant glassing the planet with only one way off the planet.
Surprisingly nothing happened on our way there. We landed and found that the base had no covenant presence in it.
Then we found our ticket off this planet. We found a Halcyon-light class Cruiser it was a little damaged but apparently they were working on repairs but then the covenant attacked Reach.
The base also had automated defenses but we had to set them manually. We had finally had set them all up.
There was also a working MAC cannon. All of a sudden on the radar showed multiple Covenant ships closing in on the base.
Emile then said we won't make it without help from the Mac gun.
I then looked at Emile and I told him to take off his helmet.
He looked at me weird but he complied and took it off.
I also at the same moment I took off my helmet. Before he could say anything I caressed and kissed him.
He didn't seem to resist and I definitely enjoyed it.
After our intimate moment he looked at me but didn't say anything and put his helmet back on as did I.
He took off his tags and said I love you and wanted me to keep them.
I said of course I will. He ran to the Mac gun and I got on the ship and got ready to fly.
Emile started shooting a bunch of ships down and I was ready for lift off.
We were ready and then Emile he said he wanted us to go on his mark.
Before he started I said over the com I love you.
He said I know you do because all of the ladies do he said jokingly.
Then he started counting down three, two, one, mark.
We went full speed towards space and I looked back and still saw the Mac gun still shooting so I had hope.
Hope that one day I might see him again.
We still weren't in the clear and something was wrong with the slip space drive engine.
I told one of the marines to go see what the problem is. We were holding off the covenant the best we could with the guns.
I asked how close are we on fixing that engine she said almost done.
We were suffering heavy damage and couldn't last much longer.
Then I heard done and I immediately initiated slip space.
Then in a flash we were gone and I felt like the biggest weight just fell off my shoulders.
Then it hit me Emile was going to die so I took off my helmet and started to cry and just sat there crying.
One of the marines came to me and said that the covenant doesn't appear to have followed us so we were in the clear.
The marine also said we had suffered a lot of damage so we lost most of our power.
I didn't care though I could only think of Emile even though I only knew for a short while I missed him so much. We were in the sol system and we estimated eta two weeks away from earth. End
