Chapter 4:John meets John.
(Master Chief's POV)
Master Chief ran through the entire forest to find a good place to let the dog rest until he wakes up. At least Chief was greatful that the biofoam he had was a second gen. biofoam,unlike the one that the O.D.S.T had this one's healing effect is permanently taking off all of John's worries,the one the O.D.S.T guys had was a first gen. which made the healing effect temporaly,and if thats the case he would have take the urge to find some medical help within hours before the effect wore off. But leaving that out of his mind he finally found a cave to put the sleeping shepherd on the ground resting. He quickly entered the cave and putted the dog gently in the ground to avoid hurting him or waking him from his rest. And as he waited he sitted next to the dog until it wakes up.
(John's POV)
Time slowed down when he was fighting Hougen believing this was his end,but amazingly he felt that the pain he used to have had stopped and he felt more better than wounded,stronger than weaker,he felt he was healed like he had never fought Hougen at all and he didn't fell any sign of being dead instead he only felt asleep. John didn't wait as he slowly opens his eyes,his vision was a blur he couldn't see straight and he saw only darkness. His vision started to gain visuality again and he noticed he was in a cave,he felt uneasy,last thing he remembered was fighting Hougen in the snow and now he was in a cave wrapped with bandages and his body was clean without any sign of blood and the big wound just disappeared. He was curious at that moment until he turned around and gained an horroriffic sight of something he never knew he was gonna see in his life. He had seen a lot of humans before,from soldiers to civillians and all type of doctors,scientists even goverment type of humans,from big to small,but what he was witnessing was the unnatural. A huge human that stood 7 feet tall with a strange green armor from head to toe with a strange golden visor covering his face and a strange gray weapon in a very odd shape in his hands was standing tall in front of John. John instantly growled at the monster in his eyes and then the monster looked at him with no expression at all. John felt very disturbed at this expressionless face of the monster. But without hesitation he kept growling at the monster.
(Master Chief's POV)
The dog was growling at the Chief like he sees him like somekind of monster. The Chief then noticed that the dog was not just looking at him but at his assault rifle as well,he though that the dog must think he is somekind of a threat to him so with no sign of hostility John putted his rifle down in the floor and carefully raised hi hands as a sign of surrendering to make the dog to calm.
"Easy boy I'm not here to hurt you."those were the only words Chief said.
"Can it you...you monster!"the dog said clearly.
John was confused,he just heard the dog talk to him but again he has seen way more weird stuff than this. So John decided to say the most epic words when he heard the dog talk.
"Did you just talk to me?"those were his words.
"You can hear me?the dog asked.
"I guess thats why I'm asking."he replied.
"Who are you and why do you took me away from my pack?"the dog asked really pissed.
"I don't know about your pack but I do know you got almost killed and I just got you to treat you with medical supplies and took you here to rest."Chief said.
The dog looked more calmed now and dropped his defensive stance.
"Oh...well...thanks and sorry for snapped at you."the dog apologized.
"Is okay. My name is John-117 Petty Officer of the Navy UNSC they also call me Master Chief."the Chief introduced himself.
"Your name is John?"the dog asked.
"Yes."the Chief confirmed.
"My name is John as well."the now introduced John said.
The Chief was now impressed a German shepherd named John,he reminded John as himself but in dog form.
"Well is nice to meet you John."he greeted.
"Likewise. Hey you are a human right?"John asked.
"Yes."the Chief nodded.
"Oh well that's a relief."John said relaxed.
"So are you read to head back to your pack?"Chief asked.
"Not quite."John said.
"What you need?"he asked.
"Who are you? What's your story? What is the UNSC? And what are those weapons?"John asked with curiosity.
Master Chief felt a little uneasy at this but he decided to tell John even the most classified information of everything there is to know about the UNSC,the programs,the technology,the missions and the main objective of the UNSC.
"You better take a seat,is quite a long story."The Chief said as he started from the beginning to end.
As he told John the story of the UNSC (United Nations Space Command),the Covenants,the human-covenant war and the Floods,the spartan program,the marines,the O.D.S.T (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) and the ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) he explained as well about the Prometheans,the Didact,the events about how the covenants spend the time invading the planets to gain control over them and glass them from existance. How they glassed Reach and killed millions of lives including wild life. How the Flood outbreak started. Explaining every single detail about the wars they spend in space. And he decided to explain his life as he finished the last details about the Didact. Of how he was putted in the Spartan program from age six. Of how he became the man he is and how he was putted on the toppest of the spartan program with tree other members Kurt-051,Jerome-092 and Frederic-104 and how the four of them became great leaders in the spartan program and the dissppearence of Kurt-051 and how he was claimed dead and ended explaining his companion and good friend Cortana his A.I of how she sacrificed herself to stop the Didact after all the journey together. As Chief finished the entire story and all his life. He explained how he got here in the year he was now. All of this made John to feel bad about Master Chief,all the pain and horrible memories and stuff he had gone through. It mad John realized that in life not every human is evil that there is so much more humans that actually have a good heart. But not only sadness filled John's heart but total respect of Master Chief. John now knew that standing before him is a real hero,a real legend like Riki and Gin and is living to tell the stories.
"That's a very amazing story. I don't know how to react now that I'm in front of a brave soldier."John said.
"You are quite brave. So should we head out?"Master Chief asked.
"I'm right behind you. Or do you want me to lead you?"John asked.
"Lead the way,I've got your back."Master Chief signaled.
And with their heads and heart high in the sky both Johns headout towards Gajou to find Weed and his pack.
(Weed's POV)
Weed and the rest of the pack hid inside a shed to spend the night away from the snow storm and after Rocket save him and GB the pack accepted Rocket as a member without judging him anymore. Weed still couldn't sleep he was still thinking about his father and was still worried about the newcomers Hiro and Reika specially Hiro who barely made it out alive from Hougen. Jerome came out of the shed still worried about Weed and asks him if he was really okay.
"Weed are you sure you alright?"he asked.
"Not to much. I'm still worried about my father you know."Weed replied.
Then Rocket and GB got out to see what is happenning.
"That's what this is about? Weed don't worry we will save him. Once we gather more males I'm sure Hougen would be begging to live."GB said.
Just then a certain Labrador mix came running towards Weed
"Hook is that you?"Weed asked as he sees Hook.
"Weed I've got terrible news."Hook said a little sadden.
"Come inside."said Weed so Hook could stay away from the cold.
As they come inside Hiro was recovered and every dog gathered to hear Hook's horrible news.
"What are this news you have?"asked Jerome.
"Is...is John."Hook said in a depressive tone.
"What,what happened? John what?"Hiro instantly said in anger.
"He...he is dead Weed. Hougen beat him up to death."Hook pronounced as tears began to fall from his eyes.
"What? No that's not true. That bastard of Hougen. John promised he would comeback."Hiro said in rage while he was crying.
"Are you sure Hook?"asked Weed.
"And you coward stood there watching and ran away instead of fighting? What kind of soldier are you."snapped Jerome at Hook.
"I tried but he told me not to help him. That he was better of by himself."Hook said while his tears fell.
"JOHN! WHY HIM! WHY NOT ME INSTEAD? THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!:yelled Reika blaming herself.
"Is not your fault it's Hougen's fault. ALL OF THIS WAS HOUGEN'S FAULT!"Hiro said in anger.
Tears fell to the ground. Jerome started to howl outside. And Weed joined him. When Rocket was about to join Hook stepped in his tracks.
"Hey aren't you Rocket?"Hook asked.
"Yes I am."Rocket said curiously.
"You were Hougen's spy with your brothers."Hook said.
"Yes,why?"he asked but more nerviously.
"You didn't heard?"Hook asked again.
"Heard what?"Rocket's eyes started to filled with tears.
"When your brothers came back Hougen accussed them for betrayal and he demanded to execute them brutally. He killed them."Hook mentioned.
"No."Rocket was now sad.
Rocket cried out after hearing about his brothers deaths.
"I swear I'm gonna avenge you two."he said to himself after he started to howl at the sky as well.
Later every dog in the pack howled together about the recent news with sadness in their hearts and pure hatred towards Hougen.
(Master Chief's POV)
The two Johns ran the entire way from the cave to the path that Weed was heading but then they started to walk to get more energy. But both of them are quite the tireless type so running wasn't a problem. While walking Chief picked up a visual contact in his mobility sensor and it was colored blue to notified as friendly and he stopped as soon as the bushes started to rustled. John took a defensive stance after two familiar Borzois stepped in front of the pair. The Borzois stopped as soon as they saw both Johns looking at them.
"You two,what are you disgusting spies doing here?"John growled at them as they backed away a space.
"Is okay John stand down, I know the light brown one."Chief clarify till John calmed.
"You can understand us?"the darker one said.
"Yes and I've met your brother before."Chief stated.
"Yes,I'm Jet human sir and this is my brother Missile and we have another one called Rocket but he left us behind."Jet introduced.
"Let me guess the orange Borzoi."said Chief.
"Yes,have you seen him?"Asked Missile.
"Yes before I met Jet here,I saw him running behind a pack of other dogs,but catching up,you three must be fast."said Chief as compliment.
"Yes."said Jet.
"Nice to meet you two."said Chief.
"But not me,I still got my eyes on you two good for nothing mutts."barked John at them.
"Oh yeah sorry for the events before John. After the human here saved us from Hougen we changed our ways."said Missile.
"You know them?"asked Chief.
"Yeah,the three of them worked as spies from Hougen. You saved them?"asked John in return.
"Yes since Hougen ambushed them unfairly I took quick action there. And I think they won't go back to him."Chief stated.
"Alright I respect you,this guy you see here is named Master Chief also known as John-117 and he is the real deal here so don't mess with the guy."John introduced.
"Your name John as well?"asked Jet.
"Yes but call me Chief,just to avoid confusions."Chief said to them.
"We'll do."Missile said.
"So shall we continue our way?"Chief asked John.
"Let's."John agreed.
"Wait...can we come with you two."asked Jet.
Chief and John looked at each other and looked at the Borzois again.
"Besides speed what other good stuff you are?"asked Chief.
"Well we can infiltrate enemy lines and we can attack in sync."said Missile.
"What do you think John?"Chief whispered to John.
"Okay you are aboard,but no tricks. Got it."said John.
"We sure do."said Jet.
"We appreciate for you to accept us."continued Missile.
"Alright then let's continue towards Gajou. John lead the way."said Chief.
"Sir,yes sir."said John as the four of them continued their journey.
Cool hah the two Johns are now besties and Missile and Jet got a second chance in the good side. Now the four of them travel together not knowing that they are getting closer to Weed and his pack than they think. Stay tune for Chapter 5.
