Hope everybody enjoyed the last chapter! Thanks for ALL of your reviews, I really apriciate them. So! Heres chapter 8! Enjoy!!
The pilot of Pelican Alpha-516, revved her engines climbed 20 Feet into the air and took off into the distance. James had left the 8 remaining Hell Jumpers behind, with a warthog, and orders to hold the newly established L.Z. Then, in order to make things easier to explain to his new allies Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku, he had told the pilot to bring them back to their universe. Inuyasha stood by the open hatch of the pelican. Sango was staring outside the drop ship with what seemed to be a look of awe at the speed at which they where now traveling. While Kagome held the child like demon, Shippo, while he stared out of the port side viewing hole. The monk however didn't look to well of, in fact Miroku seemed to look air sick. He tapped the Pelicans crew chief on the shoulder, and pointed out Mirokus condition. The crew chief laughed, reached into a pocket and pulled out a little bottle of air sick pills. The crew chief then walked over to Miroku and handed them to him. James clicked on his radio, in order to talk to the pilot. "We dropped out of the arch at these quordinates." Said James, as he sent the quordinates to her view screen. The pilot then checked his quadrants with hers and found that they matched. "Yes sir, we dropped out of that same area to." Answered the pilot. "Then that's where we reenter the Arch." Said James. "Aye, aye Sir!" said the Pilot. "You'll probably want to tell everybody to hold on back there. The ride in was a bumpy one."
James stood up in the back of the pelican. "Inuyasha, you'll want to step back from that door we need to close it or the air inside here will decompress." Said James. Inuyasha stepped back from the doorway, and the crew chief closed the doors. "The ride to our universe is a bumpy one. The pilot recommended that you strap yourselves in." James walked among them showing all, except Kagome, how to put the harness on. James and the Crew chief strapped themselves in near the door, next to Andrew who was still unconscious, and had been strapped to on of the roll out stretchers located underneath the Pelicans seats. "Here we go!" said the pilot over the intercom. The Pelican shuddered as though it had hit a wall, and then began to bounce and roll, making the Harnesses bite into everyone's shoulders. James noticed that during the bones shaking ride back to his universe, Miroku had grabbed Sango's ass. She had consequently slapped him, and James could still see the red imprint of a hand on his cheek 5 minutes later. This was a strange group indeed. Suddenly there was another bang, and again the Drop ship bucked as though it had run into a wall. "Welcome home chief." Said the pilot in his helmeted speakers. Miroku undid his harness and announced that he hated flying.
"This is Drop Ship Alpha-516, requesting permission to land. Over." said the pilot of Pelican Alpha-516, Alicia, to the New World's A.I., Ike. "Roger Alpha-516, we read you loud and clear and are ready for you in Hanger 12. "Over." Answered the A.I. "We also have visitors from the Arch. Inform the captain please." said Alicia, piloting the drop ship around to the starboard side of the enormous ships hull. "Roger, Alpah-516, request confirmed. The Captain will meet you in the Hanger himself. Over and out." said Ike. "You hear all that Chief?" asked Alicia to the Spartan located behind her in the belly of the Pelican. "Loud and Clear." Answered the Spartan.
"Wow!" exclaimed Shippo, looking through the porthole near him and Kagome. "That a ship?" He asked, turning toward James. "Yes. It's called the New World. It's a kilometer long, with a staff of over 1,000. It's one of the largest ships in the fleet."
Kagome and Shippo stared in awe at the enormous ship. They then scooted over so that Miroku and Sango could have a look. "This is no where near big compared to some of the covenant ships, especially the Elite ships." Said James. The two them moved over so that Inuyasha could have a look. He to stared in awe at the gigantic ship. "What was that?" asked Shippo, who was now looking through the porthole on the opposite side of the drop ship. James looked a saw it to, a shadow, black moving against black. It was there only for a moment before it disappeared. A Prowler, the Hand
Of God to be more precise. But James pretended not to have seen anything. Prowlers are always supposed to stay hidden. "The Captain of this ship is going to meet us when we land." James told them, "And i'm sure he would like to meet all of you."
As the Pelican cleared the shield that protected Hanger 12, Captain Alex watched as the Drop Ship turned toward him, and headed towards dock number 7. Alex was surprised that The Hell Jumpers and The Spartan had found life, but even more surprised at the Spartans decision to bring the aboard. There must be something else going on that he isn't yet aware of; he could feel it, but what? The Drop Ship touched down in the dock, and there was a clank as the docking locks grabbed hold of it, and held it firmly in place. The doors opened with a soft hiss, and the ramp leading into the Pelicans interior descended. A detachment of heavily armored Marines stepped forth, and swept the interior of the Drop ship with their rifles. It was standard precidior, just to make sure this wasn't some cleaver brute hoax. "Clear!" yelled the Lieutenant in charge of the Marines, they then stepped back, making room for Alex to step forward. As he did a giant stepped from the belly of the Pelican, the Spartan stood over 7 feet tall, and was clad in the Green metallic armor they where known to wear. The Spartan walked towards him and snapped into a crisp salute.
There ya go! Hope you enjoyed it!
