Chapter 3

"Sir" Mike said as he burst through the general's door "we've detected a slipspace rupture"

"Of what origin" asked the general, fearing that they were under attack

"It's not of covenant origin sir but..."

"But what mike"

"Sir… it's current trajectory means it's coming out in atmosphere."

"Slipspace rupture… in atmosphere?" said general o'neil dumbfound "that's never happened before" the general thought for a few seconds.

"What else do we know thus far mike" asked the general

"Not much sir" replied Mike "but we can presume where it's going to land. The signature coming through tells us that the ship is damaged and won't be able to stay in the air for long".

"We will check the crash site then it's probably a evac ship from imber" said the general "notify recovery team 4 please"

"But sir we're picking up spartan IFF tags i have reason to believe its Sapphire".

The general smiled "Then" the general said "get stryker to intercept the vessel when it crashes"

"Yes sir" said mike with a nod and ran of to get the spartan.

"ZACK WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO" shouted Wolfo

"I'm trying to come out of slipspace and to keep our trajectory accurate were coming out of slipspace in atmosphere."

"GOOD PLAN ZACK, GREAT FUCKEN PLAN"

The ship started to shake violently, waking up Mark, Shark and Aerial

"What the hell is he doing?" asked Aerial before being thrown across the room. "Aerial" shouted Shark walking over to her to pick her up "c'mon lass no sleeping on the job"

"Ok" said Mark "let's find out what's happening spartans" Aerial and Shark looked over to him "activate the magnetic treads on your boots"

Wolfo burst into the room

"The roof is more magnetic than the floor, security feature. Inertial dampeners are on now" at that moment shark flipped upside down.

"Whats happening" asked mark

"We're exiting slipspace and making one hell of an entrance" said Wolfo with a wolfish grin.

"Why's the ship shaking so bad?"

"IT'S ALL ZACKS FAULT" Wolfo Shouted as he stuck himself on the roof of the ship

"Actually" Zack said projecting himself onto the roof "it's your fault for making me go to slipspace in atmosphere"

"Exactly, your fault, it was YOUR idea remember?"

Zack sighed "fine then, were coming out in one minute"

Zacks AI smiled "according to my calculations were coming out of a mountain"

Wolfo started to laugh like a maniac then

"Dear god we're screwed" said Aerial

"Yeap" said Shark "any last words?". "It's been an honor serving with you team" the ship started to shake more violently

"Coming out of slipspace in 5" said Zack starting to count down

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"What are the coordinates Mike" Shouted stryker over the comms

"It's 10 clicks east of here" said mike "after that there's a 10 click radice where they could land and sir i highly recommend staying out of the blast radius this ship honestly looks like a piece of duct tape is holding it together" Stryker sighed

"Why did they give us the most run down falcon at base i mean COME ON" Suddenly their was a loud rumbling that could be heard over the falcons engines

"Mike" said stryker "is that the ship were expecting"

"Mabey sir" said mike "but we can't be certain" as he said this a gaping blue vortex opened up on the side of a mountain ahead "that must be them" said stryker "can you get the trajectory riley"

"No" said riley "Because i'm an AI and to stupid to do"

"Riley!"

"What it's obvious where it's going you can do it"

"Riley i swear to god"
"Fine fine, jezz, its current trajectory will take it 1click west of here" Stryker sighed

"Was that so hard" said Stryker while Mike told the pilot where to go

"Yes" said Riley

"You better not do this when you're with Sapphire" Stryker said sternly

"Of course not mother" Riley said, his hologram grinning in Strykers head

"Sir" the pilot said "where 500m away from their theoretical point of impact"

"Good" replied Stryker "we'll wait here 'till they land"

"ZACK WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THAT DUCT TAPE?" Screamed Wolfo Maniacally

"Wolfo calm down" replied Zack rather calmly

"OK, ok, But that duct tape sure works wonders" replied Wolfo who had calmed down significantly.

"Hold on a second, this ship is held together by DUCT TAPE!?" screamed Aerial

"Only some parts like the engine and the hull"

"Well" said Shark "we are screwed"

"Not if that falcon down there has anything to say about it" replied Wolfo

"Speaking of which i'm gonna pull up so we don't blow them to pieces" said Zack pulling up at the last second. The ship started to streak into the sky trailing fire behind it. The duct tape on the hull of the ship started to catch fire as the ship exited slipspace and parts of the hull started to fall off. "Hold on" Zack said calmly

The ship reached the top of its upward arc and started to hover in place.

"Well" said Mark "that went better than i thought"

"Hate to break it to you but we have incoming flak fire, it's of covenant origin as well"

"Covenant on Reach how the hell did they get here?" said Shark

"What happened when we were in slipspace" asked Mark to himself

"Well they seem to have giant towers set up in a circle formation" said Wolfo

"More importantly" interrupted Zack "the engines are starting to fail so i'm going to land now, maybe that falcon will help us"

"When this is over I want my ship repaired"

"If you're still alive" muttered Aerial. The ship started it's descent while trying to avoid the incoming plasma fire. They had almost reached the ground when one of the engines took a glancing blast.

"Sir they're coming right at us!" shouted Mike

"EVADE, EVADE, EVADE!" shouted Stryker. The falcon swerved to the left, going sideways and almost throwing Mike out.

"Please " said Mike "don't do that again"

"Come on" said Stryker ignoring the marine "we need to catch that ship Riley trajectory"

"Well it's simple" said Riley "what goes up must come down"

YAY FOR CLIFFHANGERS, anyway please say if you like the long word length or if we should keep it short or any other bad things,soon we will have all the characters merge so there's less change, anyway THANKS FOR READING, PLEASE REVIEW AND SEE YA LATER
