MS: Hey guys, MS here! Hey, sorry for the delay, went through a few things, but now I'm back! Well, time to get started with this new chapter!
(note: a few people have been asking me about whether or not Master chief would be in this. I thought it over and decided against it. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty good idea, it's just that I don't know how to write that down)
Will and John were now walking into the large container. Needless to say, the place seemed bigger on the inside than on the outside. The place wasn't big, IT WAS FREAKIN' HUGE!! It was loaded as well. From what they could see, there were rows and rows of UNSC vehicles, weapons, equipments, computers, and everything that would make someone with a devious mind practically implode. John started walking along, looking at the vehicles. "Well, this is interesting." He said. "Wouldn't you think so, Will?"
No answer.
"Will?"
No answer.
From lacking an answer, John turned to see Will practically drooling at what he was looking at, despite the helmet being in the way. He walked up to his friend and started waving his hand in front of his face. "Hey dude, you there?" He started snapping his fingers. "Helloooooo." He even tried slapping the back of his head, and still no response. "Damn, the lights are on, but nobody's home." Suddenly, however, he started to hear a faint whisper. "S….sa-scara-sa…..sasasasca……" was all that he heard.
John was getting annoyed at his friend's incoherent babbling, so he turned his head, and saw just why his friend was like that. What he saw infront of him was a hologram, showing a large, four-legged structure, bearing the Covenant insignia. Below the hologram was a computer scrolling through information. John went up to the computer, and realized that the information was on how to build a scarab.
"Pretty cool."
"Cool!! This isn't cool! IT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!"
"Ok, ok, calm down. Well still, I think you're overreacting."
Will gave him a questionable look. "Why do you think that?" John stood a while, trying to hold the urge to punch his friend for his stupidity. "Dude, we're in the manga Naruto. The manga is about magical ninjas, somewhat-medieval era setting, and legendary demons. Not really the setting for advanced technology."
"But-"
"Not to mention, they don't even know about firearms, even ancient ones such as the blunderbuss. How do you think they're going to do this?"
Will stood there, trying to find an answer. "Well," He began. "They have tv's, vending machines, surveillance cameras, and a lot of other things, so I'd imagine they would have the technology for this."
"Will, really. These things can't even measure up to WWII warfare. I'm sorry, but it's just not enough."
Will just stood there, looking at the ground. John gave a heavy sigh, thinking about how much of an asshole he just acted like. "But….suppose that we could make it from the materials in this room. Sure, it wouldn't be that advanced at from Covenant technology, and hell, I'm no mechanic aside from working cars, but maybe after a bit of trial and error, plus a bit of help from the village, we COULD succeed in making something." Will smiled at the thought. Ever since he saw the Scarab from the second game, he would go on about how sweet it is, and how it should have been a playable vehicle. A thought suddenly clicked in Will's head. "Wait, there was a purple container beside this one, right? Well, it's more than likely Covenant stuff, so why not use that?"
"………………………"
John then proceeded to hit himself in the face against the wall for his own stupidity. "Well, I guess that can work." He said, showing a slight dent in his helmet. "Err….right." John started walking out, until something caught his eye. From what he could see, there was something else in the large container: a large tube, and it looked VERY familiar. He then started walking towards the tube, and put his hand on it.
"Cold to the touch."
He looked to the side, and saw a small panel. He took it off of the wall and looked at it.
Cryotube no. 2623-13B
Subject: Spartan-1337
Status: Contained
Destination: Harvest for reconnaissance mission
"I don't believe this." John thought.
"Hey Will, come over here!!"
Will sprinted towards his friend.
"What?! What is it?!
He only saw John smirk.
"Looks like we got some backup with us."
MS: Look, I'm really sorry this chapter is short, but it's pretty late right now, and I want to sleep. I just REALLY wanted to post this. Well, I'll get back to work on this in a little bit. Hopefully, nothing else will put me into the position of labeling this as 'discontinued'. -_-; Damn flamers. I know it's customary for someone to say their ideas, but REALLY! Also, I'm happy, because Halo Reach beta is supposed to come out. Whoohoo!!! Also, I'm thinking about doing a chapter making the setting towards Reach, like I made it from Halo 2 to 3. If you guys think I should do this, let me know. Well, c'ya!
