9 reviews. One short. Oh well, I'm bored. Here's the last chapter before the Spartans return to reach.
Disclaimer: Read the last chapter, moron. Do you think that anything has changed since then?
...
-4 years prior-
Thor smashed the gravity hammer into the skull of the brute. Ghost dispatched of the elite stealth team. A squad of hunters appeared and fired at the MAC gun behind them. Some drones attacked from the other side of the MAC. Thor jet packed in front of the MAC.
Just as the MAC fired.
Thor didn't even have time to realise he was dead. The MAC tore him apart, blasting some of him into space while the rest of him fell to the ground. Ghost saw this happen, and didn't even have time to think.
He just ran.
-End flashback.-
R jumped into the Corvette, and instantly opened fire. The Arbiter drew his blade and charged. C dropped down and fired his rocket launcher, missing entirely.
-Meanwhile-
A marine opened fire on a grunt. They were both killed by a random rocket launcher.
-Back to the story-
The Arbiter realised he couldn't beat the Spartans, so he dropped and played dead. Luckily, R was busy and C was an idiot, so they didn't realise he was alive.
-5 years prior-
Reaper was handing out weapons to the rest of Undead. He offered Fate a plasma pistol.
"No thanks," Said Fate, "I'm allergic to plasma. If any touches my skin, I could die."
-End flashback-
R walked into the hanger, preparing for a large battle, only to find it empty.
"What the hell?" asked C.
J answered. "Oh, it seems that the entire Covenant is asleep."
R's eye twitched.
"You mean I set the diversion bomb, activated my camo and hacked the mainframe for nothing?"
"...Yeah."
-Meanwhile-
Arbiter was attempting to sneak up on the Spartans, but was thrown backwards by a sudden explosion.
-Main Story-
"YOU COULD HAVE FREAKIN' TOLD US THAT EARLY, YOU MOTHERF-"
"R! Language!"
-Two hours later-
"C? Are you still alive?"
"Barely..."
-Another two hours later-
"Here's an idea, use R instead of a bomb."
-Another two hours later-
"Covenant are heavy sleepers
-Another two hours later-
"...AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR-"
C snored. R stopped, and then went to wake him up.
"I got it out of my system."
"About time."
R went up and opened the hanger. A Pelican flew in.
-Meanwhile-
Arby slowly woke up, looked around, and ran to wake up the Covenant.
-Main story-
"Powder Keg is delivered." Said Jorge.
"I thought it was a Slip-Space bomb"
"We lost it. So we got all the Gunpowder we could find and put it in a keg."
"..."
-Meanwhile-
Hunter swore. The Falcon had run out of fuel. He hopped out and walked 2 metre's before he got the message.
"Evacuate! Old Samantha is being overrun! They're everywhere! All forces, evacuate to New Ale-"
At this stage, an Energy sword could be heard activating, and whoever sent the message screamed.
Joyeuse, troubled, suggested that they help evacuate the city. Hunter didn't see why. He lived by one simply rule: Get the job done. Even when with Reaper, who had "tamed" him to the point that he didn't shoot anything suspicious if there was confirmed human survivors nearby, couldn't make him go out of his way to save someone. With the exception of Reaper himself, of course.
-3 years prior-
Reaper curses himself. The slight delay had caused him to pause long enough for the Covenant to separate him from the rest of Undead. A swarm of drones ambushed him. Reaper pulled out his Assault rifle, and started firing. He was careful to make sure he didn't hit Grimmer Then Most. He thought about how long it takes to say that name, realised that if someone wrote about his life, they would have to write that name several times, and decided to call the Engineer GTM. Soon after, a squad of Elites swarmed him. Reaper stabbed one with his knife, spun around to kill another, ducked an Energy sword, disarm elite with said energy sword and picked up the sword. He quickly impaled the remaining elites.
He ran up and saw Undead.
Just in time to see Fate die.
The plasma fit under her helmet. Her throat contracted, and she slowly suffocated. Like a true Spartan, she fought to the end. She launched a grenade towards the grunt that fired the plasma, then turned around and stabbed a brute.
Then she fell.
-End flashback-
J swerved in close to the Corvette's cannon, which R had for some reason not deactivated when he hacked the Corvette computer system. The plasma missed him, and tore Desert Joking apart.
-Meanwhile-
R quickly fought his way to the control room, Set the refuelling course and set back for the hanger. It wasn't until he was halfway back that he realised that he had hacked the ship, and could have done it from the hanger.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
"R! We're under attack!"
-Meanwhile-
J's sabre had taken major damage. The oxygen in the cockpit was leaking out and if it wasn't for his helmet, He'd be dead. He shot down a Banshee that was trying to escape.
Another Sabre pilot yelled "In space, no-one can hear you scream!"
Then he heard a high-pitched, girly scream.
-Two seconds earlier-
The Arbiter decapitated a random marine and threw his body at another. The large Demon fired at his comrades. Arby grabbed the smaller demon by the throat and pulled him into the air. Then he took a few steps forward and held the demon outside of the hanger. The demon screamed.
-Meanwhile-
R killed a grunt, and then saw Arby holding C. He ran up and attacked Arby. The Arbiter dropped C into space. J's sabre flew down to get him. R punched Arby twice, then knocked him into space.
-Meanwhile-
Arbiter had his shields up, and they retained enough oxygen for him to get into Reach's Atmosphere. He dropped down and latched to the human vehicle, then smashed the cockpit screen. The demon inside blinked, then punched Arby. The Arbiter pulled him out of the vehicle and threw him into the air. Then he leapt onto him. He engaged the two demons in freefall, punching one of them before whipping around and kicking the other. The demon he kicked fell at an angle and was soon to far away to hit Arbiter. Arby grabbed the other demon punched him three times before activating his energy sword. Before he could stab, the other demon threw a knife at him. Arbiter roared in pain, before noticing how close the ground. Arby stood on the demon, forcing his head down to increase the speed of descent. Before making impact with the ground, arbiter jumped off the demon, forcing him into the ground.
-Meanwhile-
Jorge fiddled with the powder keg for a few seconds, before swearing.
"What is it?" asked R.
"I have good news and bad news. The pelican is too damaged to fly, so the only way of this slag heap is gravity."
"And the good news?"
"That was the good news."
Jorge removed his helmet and dropped it.
"Bad news is, the timer's fried. I'm gonna have to fire it manually."
"That's a one way trip."
"We all make it sooner or later. Better get going, Six, they're gonna need you down there. Listen, Reach has been good to me."
Jorge removed his dog tags and handed them to R.
"Time has come to return the favor. Don't deny me this."
Jorge picked R up and held him near the edge of the hanger.
"Tell 'em to make it count."
Jorge threw R out of the spacecraft. After falling some distance, the bomb activates. R fought to hold back tears as he thought of Jorge.
The Bomb tore the Supercarrier in half. All the covenant on-board died instantly.
-Meanwhile-
Hunter watched the Supercarrier explode. His orders, to find a easily-defended position to hold off the Covenant, where pointless now.
Then they came.
-Meanwhile-
"Slip-space Rupture detected."
R muted Auntie Dot.
-Meanwhile-
"What is that?"
"Slip-space Rupture detected."
-Meanwhile-
"No freakin' way..."
"Slip-space Rupture Detected."
-Meanwhile-
"It's the Covenant!"
"Has anyone got a visual?"
"Slip-space Rupture detected."
-Meanwhile-
"They're everywhere!"
"Must be the whole damn Covenant fleet."
"Slip-space Rupture detected."
-Meanwhile-
"All forces, evacuate the bloody planet! Get the Civilians off. All forces, Spartans included."
"Slip-space Rupture detected."
-Meanwhile-
Hunter took one look at the Covenant and knew. Reach was lost. He started walking to New Alexandria. The he saw it. A falling figure. He quickly checked his radar to see who it was. Then he stopped.
Spartan B312
Reaper.
-Meanwhile-
R heard a scream over the radio. Then a familiar voice.
"Reaper, Is that you?"
Then he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
...
Yes, R is Reaper. Don't act all shocked.
Also, If you're wondering, the scene before Jorge's death is to emotional for jokes. That's why there is none.
Finally, i am aware Jorge called R Six in this chapter. If you think about it, R still is Noble Six, and since no-one knows R's real name, Six is the best I had.
