Six POV

Timeskip to next day.

By the time we got to Harvest I had, just about, gotten over the shock of the news.

"Reach..."

It was a shock, to say the least. Knowing I would be going back to the planet that I watched burn, to the planet where we all fought hard and still lost in the end..

I shook my head as I tried to banish those thoughts, for now I can distract myself with destroying the rest of the insurrection on the other planets. I couldn't think of Reach and let it distract me, it could get me and Connie killed.

"Connie, you ready?"

"Yeah, just about. We got everything we will need?"

"Yeah, you made sure to grab your knives and holo unit right?"

She looked at me like I was an idiot, "Like I would leave without them, do you think I'm some kind of idiot?"

I shook my head lightly, "No, I just wanted to make sure. Once we get down there its only going to be the two of us, and Omicron. We are gonna have very limited ammunition, so we need to try and save up, go with close combat if its possible."

She shook her head, I could tell she was slightly confused, "Why would they set up a base on Harvest anyway? And why didn't I know about it in the first place?"

I strapped a knife to my shoulder, "They most likely thought that you could betray them, and that if you did they didn't want you to have all the information. Why Harvest, is obvious. The Covenant and UNSC fought over it for years, that means a lot of dead marines and aliens, and a lot of abandoned or nearly destroyed equipment. Both the Covenant and UNSC pulled the majority of their forces off the planet, why I'm not sure. Can you see why they would come here now though?"

Connie nodded slowly, seemingly troubled, "Yeah... with all the guys that died here, and all the vehicles they could have left behind or just not have had the time to fix... for both the UNSC and Covenant... Even if its broken covenant vehicles, they could still scrap em and use them for spare parts."

I nodded at her in approval, "Exactly. Here they could get weapons, ammo, vehicles, all of a UNSC or Covenant nature. And I have just the slightest feeling that when they pulled off of Harvest, they didn't take every single last piece of equipment with them." Connie sighed.

"So, they should be pretty well armed, while we on the other hand only have a handful of weapons and ammo to fight them with.."

"Yeah. As soon as Omicron finds them, we should go. We should be able to land pretty close, even with all the tech they got they shouldn't be able to pick up a Prowler."

She nodded in agreement, just as she was about to say something however Omicron popped up, "Agents, I was able to find the location of the Insurrection hide out, I will get us as close as possible without them noticing us."

"Seems he already found it. Hes pretty good at what he does, isn't he?" I nodded slightly in agreement.

"Yes, he is. Its a good thing hes around, I wouldn't be able to pilot this and I have a feeling you aren't able to either."

"Your right, I wouldn't be able to. Now, anything else we should grab?"

"Hm, no, we already got all the explosives. Maybe try to grab any weapons or ammunition while were down there, would be a shame if it all went to waste."

"Alright, you say so."

Omicrons hologram showed up in between us, "We have arrived, I got us close but your still gonna need to be careful as you make your way in, of course. I will stay in the ship and make sure that no trouble arrives without you knowing it."

"Thank you Omicron. Come on Connie, lets go."

"Alright."

Once the door had opened we hopped down, staying low we approached the Insurrection base.

It had few soldiers on the walls, said walls seemed to be falling apart. In fact, it seemed as if the whole base was falling apart. I figured this was most likely a base abandoned by the UNSC which the insurrection then proceeded to take over, this must have been the only choice they had, I had a feeling if any of the other bases were in better condition, they would have picked em. They could only place so many soldiers on the wall as well, without having the risk of the troops getting themselves killed or making the walls condition worse.

I climbed up first, sticking to the shadows and paying attention to the enemies movement. At the moment only two men were on the wall, and once they were both looking away from where I was, I hopped up, taking out two tomohawks and throwing them, the helmets offering no resistance as the tomohawks sharp blades sunk into their heads, breaking apart the skull and cutting into the brain. (AN I don't know why but that felt detailed when it didn't need to be xD)

I collected the tomohawks as Connie hopped up onto the wall. We hopped down, sticking to the shadows and going our separate ways. Connie's objective was to try and get more supplies, ammunition, food, water, whatever we may need. I, on the other hand, had to go and check the computers, if they even had any, for information. See what I could find. If there was anything of interest I would be able to download the information. If I get any info that's worth while, my next objective is to kill whoever is commanding the soldiers here before setting bombs around the base to blow the base sky high.

I could just skip to blowing the base sky high, but there was no guarantee that he would still be in the base by the time I blew it up, along with many other possibilities that involve his possible survival, such as a bomb or two being duds or someone coming across them and deactivating them. So killing the leader, was simply a way to be careful.

I stayed in the shadows, making sure I had at least 15 feet between me and the nearest soldier. As the instructors had always said, better safe than riddled with bullet holes.

They were rather blunt and didn't really care for good sayings.

I reached a building in the center of the base, it was in decent condition, considering the circumstances. Not too much of the wall had crumbled away, though many sections of the wall seemed ready to collapse. I slowly and quietly opened the door, stepping in and looking around. I only saw one soldier in the room, he was sitting at the only computer in the room. It wasn't surprising that they couldn't find much usable tech that was more, delicate. In fact, it was a surprise they even got one.

I slowly moved towards him as he typed away on the computer. When I was ten feet away from him I thought I could see his shoulders tense. For a second, I felt confusion, then I looked at the computer screen. It had my reflection in it.

Not wasting any more time on stealth, I darted forward and clasped a hand over the guys mouth, taking out a knife and sliding it across his throat.

I looked at the computer before looking away immediately, feeling disgust on what was on there, "What in the actual fuck..." I looked at a pair of dog tags next to the computer and picked them up.

"Maxwell Tucker... what a fucking pervert." I quickly got rid of what Maxwell was watching and starting searching the computer database. I kept finding more files that seemed to have been downloaded by Maxwell, as well as files downloaded by some Jackson Donut.

After an hour of fruitless, and scarring, searching I found a few more interesting files. I quickly read them before I took out a black rectangular stick, plugging it into the computer and downloading all the IMPORTANT files. I was especially careful to stay away from the files-that-shall-not-be-named.

I ran out, before making a left turn, deciding it was more likely that the leader of this base, wasn't far away from the building with the only computer. You would think they would have had more security anyway...

I found another building, lights shining in the windows. This building was in the best shape, only a few parts of it looked like it was gonna fall apart, even fewer parts of the wall having fallen off.

I made sure I wasn't seen as I walked up to the building. I looked in and saw five men. One was sitting at a desk, studying a plasma rifle. The other four in the room were armed with shotguns, ready to fight at close range. I needed to make sure I dealt with him...

Jackson Donut's POV (Didn't expect something like that I bet)

I looked down at the humming blue weapon. I had earlier shot a hot ball of plasma into one of my soldiers asses earlier, and I wanted to figure out how exactly it works. I always wanted to know how these alien weapons were, dreaming that I was firing white hot balls of plasma into the masses.

Suddenly the lights went out and we looked around. One of my big and strong men (AN It physically hurts to wright like this, but I'm also laughing at the same time.) went outside to see what happened. After a few minutes of silence and no sign of him coming back, the others quickly backed up towards me.

Yet soon, I heard three sickening thunks, and I watched in horror as my burly body-guards went down, each with a tomohawk in their head.

I turned to where it seemed the weapons came from, only to find myself on the business end of a gun. I jumped back and got onto my knees and started to beg, "PLEASE! NOOOOO! DON'T KILL ME! DON'T RIDDLE ME WITH HOLES!"

He just stared at me for a second, "What the fuc-"

"PLEASE DON'T DO IT! DON'T FILL ME WITH YOUR WHITE, HOT-" And suddenly there was nothing, the last thing I had heard was a sudden BANG.

Six's POV

I shivered as I was further scarred mentally by what he had said and what he was going to say. I picked up the dog tags and sighed, "Figures... Jackson Donut, the guy who had some pretty scarring videos of his own on that computer... I just did the universe a favor." I walked out, but not after making sure to plant a bomb right onto Jacksons head.

As soon as I was done there, still slightly shivering at what he had said, I ran around, placing bombs in the needed positions, occasionally killing a soldier and hiding the body when need be. Though I killed a few extra as therapy for Jackson...

Once I had placed all the bombs and was sure they were all armed I made my way over to the armory to help Connie get more weapons.

Once I arrived I saw that she had just gotten there as well, and had several duffel bags full of food, "I'll handle the weapons, you just make sure to watch my back." She nodded as I ran inside and froze.

"They certainly found the mother load..." Lining the walls weren't just UNSC weapons. Brute shots, needlers, plasma rifles, needle rifles, by the dozens. I shook myself out of my shock and started grabbing grenades, tossing frags, spiked, plasma, andincendiary's into the bag. Once it was filled to the brim I grabbed a shotgun and two BRs, throwing them into a bag. I put all the shotgun ammo in the same bag, before filling my last bag with assault rifle and BR ammunition.

I ran out, carrying my bags, "Alright, no more stealth, just run!" We both ran as fast as we could with the bags getting in our way.

When we got to the wall someone spotted us, I started to hear yelling as they realized their base had been infiltrated. We both quickly got over the wall and ran.

Once we were a safe distance I took out the detonator and looked at the base. My thumb pressed down and as soon as it did, boom. The whole base went up in flames, explosions going across the entire place. I felt a certain dark satisfaction when I saw Jacksons building go up in flames.

We both ran back to the prowler, storing the supplies as Omicron took us off of Harvest and into slip space.

Next stop, was the unknown planet...
