Who's ready for the second to last chapter?! Yes, it's sad, but also very exciting! And sorry I took so long, life is getting very busy lately. But I will finish this, promise!

Anyway, the answer to the questions. For the minor OC the answer was yes. On the ship The Mona Lisa. You can read all about it in the book Halo Evolutions that is full of short stories. For the Major OC the answer was someone we haven't met yet. (Though some of you might know him, let me know if you do!) Also, I am not switching to Nafalis's POV right away, so until the first page break it's from Chief's POV, but than it changes to Nafalis's POV. Anyway, enjoy.

Chief felt his feet hit the ground below him and he looked around in the barely lit room he stood in. He could see A'ala's figure start to stand up a few feet away from him. He felt himself tense at the sight. This was the last time he had to kill this bastard. At least, he hoped so. He looked around him to find Nafalis, but he could not see her. He narrowed his eyes and tried to get a better look, but he still could not spot her. He looked back over at A'ala to see him gone. He grabbed his pistol and cocked it, scanning the room for A'ala's form as he backed up. He froze and his body became ridgid as he backed up into something, something that was not a the wall. Chief slowly looked up to see the brute standing behind him. Shit! He whirled around and let a round escape his pistol, A'ala let out and angry growl and grabbed him by the throat.

"We meet again Demon," he hissed. Chief growled right back at him as he tried to pry his hand away from his throat, but it wasn't working. He coughed as he continued to try and pry the hand away, but it merely tightened. Chief coughed three times and gasped for breath. A'ala gave a smirk. "How gratifying to know that the demon died at my hand!" He let out an evil, dry chuckle and squeezed tighter. Chief gasped loudly and pulled on his grip. That's when something made contact with A'ala's skull.

...

Nafalis pushed herself to her feet to see Chief being held up in the air by that Brute A'ala. She glared and looked around her. She grabbed the first thing she saw. She notice that it was a a very large rock. She turned back to look at them as Chief made a gag/cough noise. She tossed the rock at them, hitting A'ala right in the face. He looked over and growled, letting Chief drop to the ground. He started over towards her. She gulped. Shit, now what? She gasped as the light suddenly went out. A huge hand grabbed her and pulled her in one fast motion. There was a loud crash! and Nafalis heard two gunshots. The light came back on and she saw Chief holding A'ala in a headlock. But than who was holding her? Nafalis looked over.

"Hi," came a very firm, but kind, voice. Nafalis raised an eyebrow at the man who stood behind him. "I'm Simmons, I thought you might like some help. AH!" He jumped out of the way of a bullet, pulling Nafalis with him. "Whoops." Nafalis gave him a funny look, what was wrong with this guy? She looked back over at Chief as he and A'ala fought. A knife made contact with Chief's shoulder. Nafalis let out a gasp of surprise and stood up, heading towards him. But Simmons grabbed her. "Oh no, I don't think so." Nafalis stared over at Chief as he pulled out the knife and stabbed A'ala in the neck. It didn't look like Chief was too hurt.

"I don't think so," Chief hissed as he punched A'ala in the face. A'ala growled and went to grab Chief. Chief quickly grabbed the knife and stabbed him in the head, leaving the body to fall to the ground. Nafalis smiled a bit, but Simmons still didn't let her go. That liquid started to surround Chief, he looked around at it before turning back to her. Nafalis pulled on Simmons's grip, but it didn't let go.

"Chief!" she called after him. "No! Let me go! CHIEF!" But it was too late, there was a bright flash of light and Chief was gone. Nafalis fell to her knees, Simmons finally letting her go. She stared at where Chief had once been, but now he was gone. They hadn't known each other very long, but he was her friend, and now he was gone. She clenched her fist. "Why didn't you let me go?" Her voice was very quiet as she questioned the man behind her. He grabbed her by the ribs and pulled her too her feet.

"I don't know," he told her. "I just, didn't." Nafalis huffed and shoved passed him.

"Just show me the way out of here," she told him. "I can do the rest." Nafalis picked up a pistol from the ground and put it on her hip, turning to Simmons and giving him a serious look. Simmons gave her a funny look, as if he was surprised by her. "I will find a way to him, I don't leave my friends behind. Ever. Now, which way?" Simmons didn't move for a very long time, and stayed silent. But soon he walked over towards her.

"I get to come with you," he told her. Nafalis growled and nodded sharply.

"Fine," she grumbled as Simmons walked passed her and she followed behind him. She really didn't want this guy to come with her, but it didn't seem she had a choice if she wanted to get back to Chief. They walked through winding hallways and in and out of different rooms. Nafalis narrowed her eyes, she had to find him. Though how she would do it, she didn't know.

I know, it's short. But I don't have a whole lot of time to write it so I can't make it as long as I normally do. I'll try to write the next chapter as soon as I can. Also, I'm not doing a question at the end of this chapter because the next one is the last one. Anyway, I have to go now.

Thanks for reading and please review!
