Chapter-10 The Other Side of the Coin
Disclaimer: Hagh… No for the love of Master Chief and his sweet sweet buns. I do not ow-
Who the fuck are you?! What are you doing in my story!?
Oh why hello there again Ash did you really forget sweet old Mr. Pool?
Ohhohohhoh fuck no. I am not dealing with you Wade! I already have an idiot who annoys me.
So do you want to do the disclaimer then?
… You have made your point. Continue on.
Ehehehehem! This fanfiction is the property of Humble Servert and as a result he has certain rights to it. That being said he does not own the Halo franchise nor any other franchise he and I decide to use for it.
He and I? Wade. What the hell do you mean he and I?
If you paid to read this fanfiction well… I just don't know what to tell you. Maybe go fuck a sheep. They supposedly have the closest vagina to human's out there. That should make you feel better.
Wade! This is still a teen rated fic!
Well stop pussy footing around and make it M then. Give it some gore and sexiness!
No! I may end up alienating a part of my viewer base on this story! Also the bad moments are normally so far apart it doesn't need it.
You think people like Halo for its shooting? HA! No they loved it for the fact that they could make alien bastards bleed neon blood and make them suffer and scream in terror away. The satisfaction of killing a bunch of living things to make their dicks hard and ready to masturbate!
Wade. Get the FUCK out. You haven't even been here 5 minutes and you already threatened the rating of this fic.
Yeah no. I locked the door and made it so that if you try to leave your whole house blows up.
YOU WHAT!?
So you have your choices.
You realize I am going to fucking murder you, many many times. Correct?
But that's the fun of messing with you! I disrupt your schedule to fuck you over for fun, you try to kill me! It's a win-win situation!
Gagafraga RAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH! FINE! Whatever! Start the fucking story already!
No.
What?
No.
Why?!
Because I want my own story.
Are you mad? I already have 3 in the works already! Sure this one is going to be ending soon and the other will be taking a season break not long after but why in the name of God would I give myself the torture!
Alburquerque 1994.
What? 1994? I wasn't even awake that year! Also hurry your point up. We are 452 words in and we haven't even started.
460 now.
FINE! You get your story! AFTER!
Yay! On with the show folks!

DRATANA ALPHA GET READY FOR MAIN OS REBOOT
"Of course ZERO."
"Yeah, yeah wake his ass up already."
REBOOT START
"GAGH! COUGH! HAAGH HUFF! PUFF! OH SWEET MOMMA THAT HURTS!" I screamed out in agony as I woke up. Ow… Everything hurts…
I looked around and noticed I was in the middle of some… Purple place? "Where the hell am i?"
"Ah. Master it is good to see you up." Dratana said in my head.
"Dratana? What happened? Where am i?"
"You screwed up and got caught in a time-space event that not only sent you across space but time as well." An unknown voice replied.
"Huh? Dratana… Who?" I asked in confusion before a sharp pain burst in my head and memories came rushing back into me.
"Ow… was that necessary Alpha? Really? Also… Why the fuck did my memory of you get wiped? Who the fuck wiped my memory in the first place? Why in the name of God is this being so screwed up for a simple hold the hand universe mission!?" i yelled out in frustration.
"Call the Prophets! The creature has finally woken up!" I heard from behind me in Sanghelli.
I turned around and saw an Elite in Royal Armor order away another one before he hesitantly walk towards me with his staff pointed toward me. "Who are you? Why did you land on our sacred High Charity."
I looked at him, and then at the stick, and then back to him. "You are kidding me right? You honestly think you can hurt me with that thing?" He growled and started to reach for the energy sword on his hip. "Oh hold your horses you stupid prideful idiot. I know Sanghelis are powerful prideful warriors." I stared before I appeared behind him with my sword drawn at his neck. "But at least recognize when a far better fighter than you stands in front of you."
"Grr… I accept my defeat. Kill me." He replied in defeat.
"Ya… No." I replied dismissing Dratana in a small flash. Before knocking him out with thwack at the base of his neck. I then heard a rush of steps coming in my direction and before long I was surrounded by hundreds of Elites. I could even spy Jackals far away with Sniper Rifles.
One of the Elites came closer and showed a small device in his hand. In it popped up a small hologram of Truth. "Hello traveler and welcome to High Charity. Who are you and what do we have the honor of you crashing into our sacred city?" the hologram asked.
"That? Oh I kinda got stuck in the middle of a slipspace accident and well… it did not end well for me." I replied motioning to the small crater behind me. "As for who I am?" I replied before grinning viscously. "I am hurt Truth. Do you not remember me? Or is it that you wish for me to slaughter your guards for this oversight of yours?" I laughed evilly.
"You!" he exclaimed in shock as he recognized who I was. "Guards! Escort this man to my personal chambers now!" The Elites looked at each other in confusion before they followed their orders. I was then escorted to Truth's chambers where I saw a face only a stupid mother could love. The corrupt lying High Prophet of Truth. "Leave! This is to be a private conversation." He ordered.
I watched as the Elites walked away before turning back around to see a rather angry and scared face. "Why? Why are you here?! You said I would never see you again and that you would leave me alone! So just get what you want and leave!" he growled out.
"Hehehehehehehe…" I started out. "hahahahahahahahaha…" I continued before putting some actual power into it. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed shaking the room with just the sheer force of my power. I then glared at the pathetic fool. "Since when did you grow cajones you cowardly piece of shit? Unless you forgot who exactly made sure you got that fancy hat? You still owe me Ord." I growled back at him.
He bowed slightly and then quickly shot me with a hidden weapon in his gravity chair. Which of course did nothing. I then walked up to him slowly and purposefully before grabbing hold of his neck. "W-what do y-you want?" he asked in fear.
"Good boy. I am going to be hanging around High Charity for a while. Any favor I ask? You do it." I replied before letting go of his throat. Speaking of which. First favor you know that Sanghelli Fleetmaster you plan to execute? Make him an Arbiter. You and I can have use of him yet." I replied before starting to walk away.
"How do I explain you?!" he asked in slight despair.
"Ha. You are the Prophet of Truth no? Make your own truth." I replied before leaving the room. A soon as I left, I teleported to a nearby rooftop.
"Hagh… Well that was close." I sighed comically.
"Well played Master" I heard Dratana speak.
"Yes. Great cover for the fact you royally screwed up and now you are on High Charity." I hear Alpha add in.
"I would argue. But I honestly can't. I timed that jump wrong. I guess I hang with Thel until I can meet back up with John and the others. I hope Rex can keep an eye on them until then. Welp… I suppose on the bright side I don't have to deal with that stupid Gravemind on Delta Halo after all." I replied. Though honestly I still had a bad feeling.
Gas Mine above Gas Planet Threshold a few days later.
"And continue our march to glorious salvation!" I heard yelled as I woke up from my nap.
"Huh? Wha?" I replied in sleepy confusion. "Are we there yet?" I opened my eyes slowly to the Arbiter having a pissing contest with Mr. Half-Jaw. "Oy if you two are done measuring each other's dicks are we there yet?"
The two warriors growled at me. "Yes holy one. We will reach it in the next few minutes. Are you ready?" Half-Jaw replied with mock respect.
I stood up and armed Dratana in my hands. "Good and yes I am. Arbiter, my mission is to back you up; so you have command for what we do. Other than that we go in and do your mission. Understood?" I replied.
Arbiter gave a slight bow. "Yes holy one."
"Hagh… Please don't call me that I hate being called such things." I replied visibly deflated.
"Leader, there is no doubt: the storm will strike the facilty!" I hear the comms.
"We'll be long gone before it arrives." Rtas the Half-jaw replied. I hear the raging winds outside our ship as we lurch. Somehow I am doubting us leaving before the storm hits. "Warriors, prepare for combat!"
We then start to file off the ship and we land on the deck of the station and we close into the facility. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this place?" I asked as a vague memory flashed in my head of green goo.
45 minutes and One Epic Banshee Fight Later…
"Ow… Why the hell did they always aim for my ship? I mean come on! They blew up 3 of the Banshees I was riding…" I complained covered in ash and cooled plasma.
"Just be glad you are as hardy as you are. Also why complain? You can fly with those wings of yours." replied Arbiter.
"It's the principle of the thing!" I replied.
The door finally opened up and we went inside. Rtas and I pause and sniff the air. "What is it?" the Arbiter asked.
"That stench… I've smelled it before." Rtas replied.
"I as well. But it can't be. This is a refinery facility from what I've seen. What would be the point of keeping more here?"
Oh sorry I ate too many chimichangas, I think I might make a Gastly on accident with how deadly those are...
Wade. Was that really necessary?
It was as necessary as you skipping an entire level because you were too lazy to write it out.
It had no reason to be a part of the chapter and the Flood part is the one with the real story over this mission anyway.
Oh please you mean like how you use these 4th wall breaks like a crutch when you get lazy?
I… Have no reply for that. At first I used them as comedy material but now? Hagh…But this getting far too meta! At least wait to bash my writing style UNTIL your story!
May I at least add an idea?
Sure. What is it?
Flying Pikachu.
What?
Flying Pikachu. Do what you will with it.
That is a stup… I mean I could make it work but that is just another char…
Cameo.
"What do you mean?" Rtas asked.
"Let us hope that I am wrong. But if I am right-"
"Leader in here!" an Elite interrupted from the next room.
We walked into the next room looking below us and hearing the screams of terror and pain. The Heretics were killed savagely in a fog that barely made them visible. The roars of the attackers sounded far more familiar than I cared for.
"By the rings. What is that?" an Elite asks in awe and fear. The grunts whimper in fear before the other elite quiets them. The creatures finished killing the heretics below us and went into another room. "It's moved on. Quickly, before it returns, let's find the heretic leader and finish him off."
We moved on to next room and saw deformed bodies strewn across the room. I got close to the one of the corpses and examined it. "Craaaaaaaaaap…" I sighed as my suspicion was comfirmed.
"What is it?" the Arbiter asked.
"I was right this is the F-" I started before I was interrupted by a glowing orb entering the room and showing a hologram of the heretic leader.
I ignored the conversation and went on to burn all the corpses. Having a flame breath can be rather convienant. I burned the last corpse when I got the tail end of the conversation. "Get in line." The heretic leader laughed.
Crelelilycreee!
I look toward the sound as I see dozens of those bulbous menaces start to swarm from the walls. "Shoot them!" Rtas orders as they start to clear the room.
"I thought so…' I sighed before I started to shoot the disgusting things. Since I destroyed all the bodies it didn't take long to clear out the room. Once we cleared the room the door opened up.
"Go Arbiter, Orginator! We will follow when our reinforcements arrive." Rtas ordered us.
"Very well we shall persue after the heretic leader." Thel replied. He then turned to me. "Come we have pray to hunt."
"Lead the way Arbiter." I replied with a smile. Which immediately went away when I noticed the room we entered was actually a giant elevator surrounded by specimen jars. "Uh… Word of warning. My motion tracker is going crazy. The moment we activate this elevator we will be up to our necks in Flood…"
"It will be no matter we will cleanse this place of the wretched parasite." He replied pressing the button.
Graooooo!
A combat form jumped onto my back. "Agh! Get off me yo-"
Sssssssss
"Please tell me that it doesn't have Plasma grenades stuck to it…
BOOM!
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as I went over the edge and conveniently got implanted at the entrance to the bottom.
A few minutes later outside
"You finally gonna explain why the fuck you THREW A PLASMA GRENADE AT ME!?" I yelled at the Arbiter.
"I saw you were going to get infected. How was I to know you were immune?"
"THE FUCKING FULL BODY ARMOR THAT SURVIVED GETTING BLASTED BY YOUR SHIPS!"
"So why complain? It is not as though you got hurt. You got up immediately afterwards."
"But I did get hurt. My feelings that is."
GRooonnnn
"Kill the parasite!"
We looked ahead and noticed heretics fighting against the flood. A phantom swooped in and killed all of them with plasma fire. It then centered itself over the bridge and dropped off reinforcements. Rtas rejoined us and we started pressing into the next part of the complex.
"Leader, the storm is about to hit! We cannot maintain our position!" I heard the pilot warn on our coms.
"Bring the Phantoms closer to the mine. We're not leaving until the leader of these heretics is dead. Arbiter, the flood have spread throughout the station! We don't have enough troops to manage such a large infestation. Find the leader of these heretics, kill him now!" Rtas ordered.
THUMP!
We stilled as we heard the loud sound. "The hell was that?" I asked.
THUMP! THWUMP! BANG!
Behind us we saw a large dent on the other side of the bridge form at the door.
CRACKBOOM!
It cracked open and massive amount of flood started to poor through. "GO!" I ordered as I drew Dratana. I lifted her above my head then grabbed the handle with both hands. "To those I granted my undying oath I shall protect! To those I swear oblivion I shall cut down! OBLIVION! OATHKEEPER!" I yelled as activated her shikai form. Forming a nasty looking black katana schimitar and a massive broadsword bathed in white and gold.
"Very well." The Arbiter said in respect for once as he and the others went ahead.
"Good hunting!" I heard Rtas add.
The Flood shambled in front of me. Getting closer and closer. "You ready Dratana?" I asked my trusty blade.
"Of course Master. Want me to put on the soundtrack?"
"One second. Getsuga." I started before raising Oblivion behind my back. "Tenshou!" I finished before letting loose a slice of energy destroying the bridge behind me.
"Now."
Cue "The Only Thing I Know for Real" MGR: Revengance soundtrack
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Ash roared at his enemies. "Let's do this bitches!"
Ash rushed in and started cutting not only the flood but the bridge behind him. His swords followed in an almost melodic motion. Swords of black and white destroying everything. To seal it all Ash had a grin that put the Joker to shame as he started to get covered in green goo.
Ash then jumped into the air and spun. "FLAMETHROWER!" he yelled as he became a flaming wheel of death. Then a small white sword with a chain attached shot out from the flame as Ash use it to swing around the bridge showing off the true nature of Oathkeeper as a fusion sword. Swinging around the bridge like a demented spider slaughtering the Flood.
As the last flood fell to its death Ash stood in glory dripping with green goo. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed maniacally before he heard another hoard coming soon. "ROOOOOAAAARRRRRRR!" he roared before rushing inside.
With The Arbiter and others
Thel slams his fist against the doorway the heretic leader locked himself in. Rtas and the others joined him not long after. "Arbiter, where is he?" Thel pointed to the doorway Rtas inspected it before cursing. "Stinking Floodbait locked himself tight. We'll never break through this!"
Thel noticed a hologram of the station and started to study it. "Then we shall force him out."
"How?"
"The cable. I'm going to cut it."
BOOOM! "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" A large explosion reverberated throughout the station, Then a nearby part of the station glowed red on the hologram map showing multiple error messages.
"What happened!?" Rtas asked his Phantom pilots.
"One of the sections of the station just exploded. A large monster of flame burst from the section and basically obliterated it."
"It would appear that the Originator has done his part." The arbiter replied. "Get everyone back to the ships! I will regroup with Ash and finish this mission!"
"Warriors return to the landing zone! The Arbiter is going to continue upward, cut this station loose, and scare the Heretic from his hole!"
"Take my blade. I doubt the cable can withstand its bite." Rtas said before retreating with his troops.
Then Flood started to flood in from above. "Wretched parasite." Thel cursed before turning invisible and rushed for the elevator. He pressed the button and rose.
As he reached the top of the elevator he saw… a weird yellow creature electrifying Flood forms. Also it was held up by balloons and was floating slightly.
"What in the rings?" Rtas said flabbergasted at the sight.
"Pikachu!"
That was kinda it really. Station gets cut down. Ash and the Arbiter rejoin up and kill the Heretic leader. They even bonded a little. Though not that much god knows you pervs already have Arbiter x Master chief out there.
... Hagh, I am too tired to deal with anymore. Fine sure. That is how the chapter ends a fucking Pikachu pops out of nowhere and the end. I have a headache. Now then… GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!
AN: Hi… Ugh it was a real Journey to get this chapter out… Oh well at least I got it out. Sorry about the huge delay life just loves kicking me in when I am done. Which is referenced by the fact I am now out of job and almost got stomach cancer because of genetic super bacteria and milk. Anyway… I will try to get to the normal schedule as soon as possible I promise… again.
I actually got reviews from more people.
GodOfBacon: Why thank you good sir,
FlashedRook7: Believe it or not. There is actual reason for that.
