CHAPTER 10 HALO
"Alright love birds time to get up." Sakura said as Naruto opened his eyes and looked over to see Hinata asleep on his shoulder and his arm around her, as she slowly woke up.
Hinata looked over and saw Sakura then looked over at Naruto who she was leaning on and she went scarlet and shot to the other side of the couch they were on.
"alright Naruto hope you had a good night but go back to your room and get ready the rest of the squad is getting unthawed and gona meet us in the briefing room in 30 minutes." Sakura teased as she looked at Hinata and watched her look down and blush more.
"well I am sure it wasn't as GOOD of a night as you had but it was enjoyable." He teased back as he got up and went to the door as Sakura got flustered and was about to yell at him as he was walking out the door and looked back and winked at Hinata, which caused her to become even redder if it was possible.
"OK TELL ME EVERYTHING." Naruto heard Sakura yell from the other side of the door and he went to go get his gear and head to the briefing room.
As Naruto and Sasuke entered the briefing room they saw that the rest of the squad was already there.
"alright "yamato said "now that everyone is here we can get started."
"but first did anything happen while we were under." Kiba interrupts
"why you ask?" naruto answered
"well there just seems to be something different with you four is all." Kiba said
"hehe, if only he knew." Laughed the fox.
"shut up" naruto said back to him.
"Well we did have to go ground side for a bit, and I almost died again so nothing to unusual." Naruto half chuckled
"yes I got the report on that good job there and too bad you weren't able to bring the Spartans back they would probably be helpful now." Yamato said
"sorry it's just like I said I get a feeling something happened." Kibe finished as he looked over at the girls and they blushed and looked away and Ino walked over and started to whisper to Sakura.
"Well then if we're done gossiping I need to pass word." Yamato started up again, and everyone shut up and looked at him.
"good now first off we will be coming out of slip space shortly and we have no idea where the hell we are so they unthawed us in case it is not friendly and we need to fight, other than that I got nothing so get your shit ready and prep your pods. We should be coming out of slip space within the hour." Yamato finished
everyone went to go prep and ino could be heard yelling under her breath at sakura and Hinata "alright you two spill it, tell me everything" as they all left the briefing room.
Naruto went to grab his gear and bring it to his pod just in case. He was in his room putting his shit In his pack when Sasuke walked in "hey thanks" he said
"for what?" naruto asked
"for not telling everyone what you walked in on." Sasuke said
"well I just figured it better we keep that among the four of us. I was trying to repress that memory thanks for reminding me. But besides I assume everyone will know by the time we exit slip space any way no need for me to tell them." Naruto chuckled
"what do you mean?" Sasuke said with a bit of fear on his face
"don't tell me you didn't hear Ino ask Sakura what happened. I am sure she is telling her all the 'juicy' details this moment and she will tell everyone else, you know how big a mouth there is on that one." Sasuke just went pail and the look of horror on his face was only matched by the look of sickness.
"well I um I I am gona go check and see what Sakura is packing for this. Ok well… ah… see ya." Sasuke stutters as he dashes out the room, and naruto gets a foxish smile across his face and he goes back to packing.
"well thought he would never leave" naruto heard from the other side of the room
"what who's there?" naruto asked as he looked around
"who do you think over here" naruto heard the fox's voice again and looked over to his shelf and saw a redish orange 3D hologram of a nine tailed fox on his data pad
"what the hell how did you get on that?" he asked the fox
"well I been figuring out new shit ever since I got charged up, like jumping over to electronic devices for a short period of time. But my main core is still within you so I have to return to it but hopefully I will be able to figure out how to jump everything over to something else no offense but I don't want to be stuck in something that has a short life span like yours." The fox explained
"well thanks for the vote of confidence" Naruto said while rolling his eyes
"well you are pretty reckless when it comes to dangerous situations and I been around for millennia and what maybe 60 years seems pretty short to me." The fox said
"well whatever you show up for a reason other than to show off your new trick?" Naruto asked
"well I could of told you in your head but I wanted to test this out as well but I got a bad feeling we are coming up on something horrible so get ready." The fox explained
"Horrible like how so?" naruto asked nervisly
"I don't know it seems to be in the corrupted memory the covenant fucked up, but it's bad." The fox said
"so extra ammo and grenades then?" naruto joked
"yes as much as you can carry" the fox said seriously which made naruto wince a little
"damn then it might actualy be something bad" naruto thought to himself
"yeah I am not sure what but it is a feeling worse than anything the covenant had ever done to me to get the info. Oh and I can still read your thoughts I am still inside your head remember." Fox said to him
"damnt can I just have a little privacy in there." Naruto complained
"sorry I just can't help but listen to your thoughts I really got nothing else to do in there." The Fox said with a shrug
"asshole" Naruto thought
"I heard that" the fox said
"I know, now just let me pack" naruto said as he grabbed another shotgun shell bandolier and extra mags to go to the ammo supply and get extra shells and rounds
"sorry I will let you get back to prepping" the fox tells him
"and I will do what I can to help us survive whatever is to come" the fox thought to himself, as the hologram disappeared.
PREPARE TO EXIT SLIP SPACE was heard over the PA system.
Naruto heard that and started to quicken his step back to his room from the ammo supply to get his gear. As he started down the hall toward his room he felt the ship come out of slip space and then he was thrown against the wall from something hitting the ship. IMPACT WE ARE UNDER FIRE ALL COMBAT UNITS TO YOUR POSTS. Was heard over the PA system
"no shit bitch." The fox said as naruto started to stand up and shake head
"couldn't of said it better myself." He replied to the fox as he got up and started to run toward his room. As he ran into his room he saw Sasuke already geared up ready to head out the room
"dude where the hell were you at? we gotta get to our pods like now." Sasuke yelled
"yeah yeah yeah I know" naruto says as he throws his extra mags in his pack "I will meet you down there" he says as he throws his armor on
"ok" sasuke says as he heads out the door. A few min later naruto finishes getting his gear on and heads out the door
Naruto hears WE HAVE BEEN BOREDED WE HAVE BEEN BOREDED EVERY ONE EVACUATE. Over the PA
"well guess that means we should get to the pods now." The fox said to him
"you think" naruto replied as slung his rifle behind his back and pulled out his shotgun "up close and personal I like it" he said as he ran down the hall and turned the corner into the chief.
"chief good to see you" naruto said and as he said that an elite came around the corner from behind the chief "watch it chief" he said as he side stepped the chief and leveled his shotgun and put a buck shot in to the elites chest
"hey Namikaze where you at" Naruto heard Kakashi's voice over his radio
"yeah hey it's Namikaze" Naruto called back
"hey you need to get over here so we can jump" Yamato said
"go without me I will meet you groundside." Naruto said
"what no way" Yamato argued
"I am with the chief I will meet up with you ground side." Naruto began to argue
Then he heard cortana come over his radio "this is cortana go, the chief and I are with Namikaze and we will meet you on the ground."
"roger that mama" and his radio cut off.
"well chief lets go kick some ass" Naruto said with a evil smile
"kid what the hell you doing we shouldn't be around those two for to long." The fox warned him
"why not" Naruto asked
"cause I don't want her to realize I am here" fox said to him
"thought you said you shielded yourself from detection?" Naruto asked
"yeah but still she might get a wiff of me if I am around her too much." Fox warned
"well we are stuck with them for now, so just deal with it and stay low alright." Naruto said
"hey Namikaze you good back there?" the chief asked as he ran down the hall way
"yeah chief I am good." Naruto called out as he ran to catch up with him.
They ran down the halls trying to get to the escape pods. Naruto turns a corner and runs smack into a jackal with a shield. He grabbes it by its beak and punched it in the face then twisted and heard its neck snap, and throws it against the wall by its head, and they began down the hall again and come to a group of marines pinned down by a group of grunts and an elite.
Naruto reached down and grabbed his pistol and started picking off grunts while the chief started to fire his assault rifle at the elite and watched its shields flare and its blood spray across the wall and floor. They started running down the halls again and got to the escape pod deck
"hurry chief that's the last pod" cortana yelled as the roof above the chief collapsed behind him and trapped naruto on the other side of the wreckage
"Namikaze you good back there?" the chief called back
"cough, cough, yeah I am good, go on I will meet you ground side I will head back to the jump pods and see you down there." Naruto called from the other side of the rubble
"you won't make it to the pods in time they are six levels down." Cortana said as he turned around to leave
"yeah, yeah just leave that problem to me and get the hell off this ship and I will catch you later" Naruto yells back as he runs back down the hall.
"hey kid she is right we won't make it down there in time the stairs are too far and its to many levels down" the fox says
"who the hell said I was taking the stairs." Naruto said as he stopped at an elevator door and flipped off his pack and pulled out some C4 and placed it on the door
"dude you're not thinking what I think you're thinking." The fox asked
"Thought you could read my mind so why are you asking?" naruto said with a grin
"just making sure it was right it's just so crazy I didn't want to believe it." The fox said as naruto went around the corner and blew the door and walked around to the blown open door.
Naruto looked down and said "going down?"
"dude if you kill us I will haunt your soul." The fox told him
"You already haunt me now so whats the difference? But if we make it you owe me 20 bucks." naruto said as he jumped on the elevator cable and started to slide down to the helljumper pod deck.
He came to a stop in front of the door and started to place a little C4 on the door and slide down a bit to blow it. BOOM was heard and he climbed back up to a half blown open door and went pushed the door far enough open to get through.
As he climbed through he saw a line of jump pods and saw his still there waiting for him
"ok where's my 20 bucks?" Naruto asks as he runs over to his pod
"well I would but I don't have money I am an AI remember I have no use for money." The fox told him
"wait then who the hell is gona give me my 20 bucks?" he asks as he gets in his pod and the door closes
"just when I think you're a genius with that escape, you go and prove me wrong." The fox says with a sigh of annoyance
"well fuck you, your stuck with this idiot whether you like it or not." Naruto says to the fox out loud as he pauses for a second and realizes he just called himself an idiot
"what just realized you called yourself an idiot?" the fox smirks
"shut up" he says as he hits the launch button to his pod
"only stuck with you, till I figure out a way to put myself on a chip or something, then so long sucker." The fox tells him
"well I feel loved, fine I aint talking to you till we hit the ground." Naruto says with a childlike attitude voice
"really the silent treatment your so juvenile… hey I am talking to you answer me damnt... Such a child." The fox said as Naruto felt his pod hit the atmosphere and his pods chute open and then detach, and then his boosters engage and hit the ground
"alright now you were saying something?" naruto asked
"fuck you" the fox said to him
"hehe you gona be nice now?" Naruto asked
"let's just link up with someone and find out where the hell we are. Looks like there is a life pod at the end of this valley, lets go find them." The fox says with annoyance in his voice
"well sounds like a plan" naruto says as he grabs his battle rifle and heads off towards the life pod.
