While everyone was outside of the Docking Bay, Thomas said, "Do not allow the Clavoid Empire to destroy any of the ships on the Infinity Spartans. This is humanity's last hope after all."

Sarah said, "It seems like we have to go all out to save this Arbiter."

Master Chief said, "Former Arbiter."

Jiro 'Sravamai said, "Well now, trusting you is going to be hard."

Master Chief heard that and then said, "You might have a point."

Frederic-104 said, "We should get going."

Kelly-087 said, "Let's get the Arbiter on to one of those Pelicans."

Linda-058 said, "Agreed. Create an opening for us."

Sarah said, "Let's do this thing, Spartans. Protect the former Arbiter."

Jiro 'Sravamai asked, "Why don't we just fight?"

The leader of Fireteam Osiris, Jameson Locke answered, "There are too many. And we don't know where they'll come from. Also, bullets will be flying everywhere. So it is safer to just run."

Jiro 'Sravamai heard that and then turned around and shot the Clavoid that was about to attack them and Sarah said, "Well, it looks like you can't go back that way."

Locke said, "None of us can."

Master Chief walked out from behind the wall and started shooting at the Clavoid Empire and then they started shooting back and then Master Chief jumped back behind the wall and then said, "There really are a lot of them."

Locke said, "You had to choose to fight them."

Master Chief said, "No one else was moving. So why not be the first one to make the move?"

A member of Fireteam Osiris, Edward Buck said, "You really are insane. But now we know that we can't go that way now."

Jiro 'Sravamai said, "But they can have some fun from behind."

Everyone heard that and then the Spartans on the other side of the Docking Bay appeared and started shooting at the Clavoid Empire that were shooting at the main entrance into the Docking Bay and Sarah said, "Nice."

Master Chief said, "You always have to have a second plan."

Frederic-104 said, "Yep."

Kelly-087 said, "We learned that the hard way."

Locke heard that and said, "Meaning "her"?"

Linda-058 answered, "Yes. "Her"."

A member of Fireteam Osiris, Holly Tanaka said, "Let's not bring "her" up in front of the Chief."

Jiro 'Sravamai heard that and said, "Please stop talking about it. Now I'm wondering who this "her" is."

Master Chief said, "Her name was Cortana. My AI."

Jiro 'Sravamai said, "Sorry to hear about that."

Master Chief said, "Like you said before, let's stop talking about this topic."

A member of Fireteam Osiris, Olympia Vale said, "I agree. We don't need Master Chief to go AWOL again."

Master Chief said, "I never went AWOL. I just didn't trust you with Cortana. No, we didn't trust you with Cortana."

Kelly-087 said, "He's right. But now that half of them are attacking the Spartans back there. We have a chance to fight back."

Jiro 'Sravamai said, "I was just about to say that."

One of the Clavoids of the Clavoid Empire, Dandelope, a Clavern said, "Sir, we're trapped inside of the Docking Bay of their vessel."

The leader of the Clavoid Empire said, "Hm, the UNSC Infinity is heavily fortified, huh. It's a lot worse than the UNSC Path Life. Wait, they are a lot worse than them. My bad. I take that back."

Dandelope asked, "What would you like us to do? The Arbiter is aboard this ship."

Their leader answered, "Stay on the ship and kill them. A Vladimir is about to board the Infinity and is dropping off a Cyclops. His name is Wilhelm. You'll win the battle for sure."

Dandelope smiled and said, "Yessir. Everyone, we need to hold out till Wilhelm gets here."

Jiro 'Sravamai heard that and said, "You gotta be kidding me."

Sarah asked, "Who the hell is Wilhelm?"

Jiro 'Sravamai answered, "Wilhelm is a Cyclops type Clavoid in the Clavoid Empire. It used to be only Clavoids, but then the Forerunners abandoned them at the end of the Sangheili-Clavoid War. They are big and powerful."

Locke sighed and said, "And it's headed here."

Jiro 'Sravamai answered, "Yes. To kill me and to destroy the ship."

Master Chief said, "The UNSC Past Life chose the wrong people to fuck with."

Sarah said, "I noticed."

Kelly-087 said, "Let's do this."

They stepped out from behind the wall and started shooting at the Clavoids out there and then Dandelope said, "Don't let up guys. Everyone on this ship is our enemy for helping the Arbiter."

Everyone started shooting at each other and then the bullets were hitting their shields and then Dandelope saw that and then they took cover. A Vandeloid, Sacres said, "It seems that they have some enhanced shields unlike the people of the UNSC Past Life. you could kill them with one bullet."

Dandelope said, "I noticed that, Sacres. We're at war with a group of monsters."

Master Chief said, "They think that we're monsters."

Sarah said, "Could be true."

Locke said, "We'll see."

Buck said, "Well, we already know that. We survived against the Guardians."

Vale asked, "What do you think of our situation, Tanaka?"

Tanaka asked, "What should I say? We're either screwed, or we're enjoying ourselves while fighting to protect a species that once wanted us dead."

Jiro 'Sravamai said, "I had nothing to do with that."

Frederic-104 said, "Don't worry about a thing. It wasn't your fault. The Covenant were controlling your people. And you knew that."

A very loud noise appeared outside and then Dandelope smiled and then Thomas said, "Fire at that ship now."

They said, "Yessir."

They started shooting at them and then the ship flew close enough to the Infinity to get Wilhelm on and then dropped him directly on to the vessel and said, "Wilhelm has been dropped off. We're on our way back to base."

The leader said, "Good job Vladimir. Base out."

Wilhelm walked out from behind one of the Pelicans and then hit it and the Pelican flew out of the airlock and everyone saw that and then took cover and said, "Holy shit."
