Christian fired a rocket into a group of 17 pure forms, and destroyed them all. I "Skated" down the pyramid as I blasted my SMG at thousands of infection forms following me. Christian followed as he switched to his Spartan Laser. A pure stalker jumped at my face. Christian was sly enough to destroy it as I matrixed under the laser, fell and started rolling down the great pyramid. When I got up, I blasted five shotgun shells down on a group of carriers.
It had to be about midnight here, but still kind of sunny. Emily picked us up at the bottom and we took of. It gave me a minute to sit down and think. Christian reloaded and cleaned his weapons. Then leaned back and took off his helmet. As I did the same I tried to talk to him. "So Christian, how was the mission?" I asked.
He said nothing as he loaded his weapons.
I sighed as I did the same with my weapons. "God you're a dick."
"Alright you two, we still have to pick up Bryce in Tokyo, and Brady in Manchester. Brady's first, and we'll be approaching Manchester in 3 minutes." I loaded. I'd have to drop down first because Christian is a pussy. I prepared and I saw the ground. There was some intense fighting going on. And I saw a scarab, killing flood. I was relieved. I prepared to jump. But then something happened that hasn't in four years. That name rang in my head. The god damn name rang in the darkest, deepest corner of my head.
Didact…
I wet into a short shock and fell out the opening to the ground. I could barely control my reflexes. I saw a combat form vault so high and it latched on to me. "You bastard, get off!" I struggled. It shot me with a plasma pistol. I grabbed my combat knife and stabbed it at least nine times before it fell dead.
As I landed on my feet. A Marine stood behind me. "Just in time for the party." he said.
"Yeah, and it looks like I'm the guest of honor." I said as I blasted my way through streets of flood with this very capable marine. "Do you know where Brady is?" I asked.
"Yeah, he's in that facility over
there." The Marine pointed. We battled for at least fifteen minutes
until we busted into the facility.
"Brady! Where are you!?" I
yelled.
"Yeah Kyle I'm here!" I turned on my light and found Brady at some console control. "Check this out. I have access codes to 67 I.C.B.M's. And I have targeted them all. I just need to get into contact with Lord Hood or Rtas. Let's check out the scene." Brady finished.
I fell backwards at what I saw.

"Just In time for the party." I said as A steel colored Spartan landed right behind me.
"Yeah, and it looks like I'm the guest of honor." He said as we blasted through countless flood. Going through the streets.
"Do you know where Brady is?" He asked.
"Yeah, he's in that facility over there." The Marine pointed. We battled for at least fifteen minutes until we busted into the facility.
"Brady! Where are you!?" He Yelled.
"Yeah Kyle I'm here!" He turned on some light and found Brady at some console control. "Check this out. I have access codes to 67 I.C.B.M's. And I have targeted them all. I just need to get into contact with Lord Hood or Rtas. Let's check out the scene." Brady finished.
The Steel Colored Spartan fell backwards. There were ship scraps everywhere. And flood ships steadily rested in space. I opened up a COM and looked for a signal. I found one.
"Hello anyone, this is Convoy Sierra Charlie coming in." I said.
"Sierra Charlie? It's great to hear from you, this is Cortana from the Twilight Liberty." She said.
"Are you all that's left?" I asked hesitantly.
"No, we still have Rtas and the Shadow Of Intent." She replied.
"Ok, well we've linked up with three Spartan IV's, we're going to head to pick up the rest and then go to Chernobyl. We only have so much time. Sierra Charlie, Out." I said as I left the transmission. "Brady, set those timers for one week. We're leaving." I said.
The Spartans and I battled our way towards the Phoenix as the Spartans called it. We sped towards the Scarab and I saw Usla. I stuck out my arm and grabbed his wrists. Yagip clutched onto his leg and they both climbed on. I then counted, 3 Spartans, Usla, Yagip, and Myself.
We Spent the rest of the day picking up the other Spartan. As we approached Chernobyl, I could feel the cold mixed in with flood gunk. I clutched the crystal we still needed to deliver. We were on the brink of defeat. In so little time we have lost so much. But I still have a job to do, and I will get it done.

John loaded his assault rifle and slung it. What caught his eye was a shotgun lying next to him. Perfect for the flood. The Chief soon found himself blasting through a sea of flood. He ran and jumped to avoid infection from this beast. At least two hours passed as John was backed up to the edge of a gorge. A group of sentinels fly up and blasted the flood. Then turned their sights on John.
"Fuck." John cursed as he blasted the group with assault rifle fire but to no avail. John juggled running and shooting, and got short advantages when flood came to duke it out with the machines. "Karovel! This is the Master Chief, how close are you from my position?" John asked over the COM.
"About a half a click away." She replied.
"Prepare for battle, we got sentinels coming fast." John shouted.
"Damn, Chief, we're already dealing with it, we got huge ones, much bigger than the little ones. We need your access code for the bomb, we have it set up, we have to get out off here!" Karovel yelled. John heard subtle automatic gun fire from across the gorge.
"It's 834B-59L-263MY." John said, and wondered why he didn't use that in the first place, and cut off the COM. John spent ten minutes speeding to the other side of the gorge until he was back with the marines and elites. Finally on top of the structure, John found time to talk to Karovel. "Alright, so you set the bomb, now we need to get out of here. What do you suggest?" John asked.
"Well we've packed up almost everything, I think we should go now, before even more of those things show up." She said.
A Marine busted in the control room. "Sergeant! We have something big heading towards us, and I mean really big." He said with fear.
"I'll check it out." John said as he went outside and grabbed a fifty cal. As he zoomed in, he saw a gigantic machine covered in flood gunk. It had six legs, and infection forms and pure forms were pouring out of it. As John handed back the sniper. He grabbed a shotgun, a jackhammer launcher, some C4 explosives and head over to Karovel. John handed her a timer. "If I'm not back in five minutes, leave without me." John finished as he took a banshee and flew off into the deadly new challenge that awaited him.
