Chapter 12

Welcome old and new readers to The new life. Last time I left it off with Mike screaming like a girl for being eaten to by a holographic dinosaur. Now its time for another epic fight with the Covenant. Now on to the fic!

Disclaimer: For the last time, I don't own anything that is Naruto or Halo related in my story. Geez you guys keep bugging me to no end.

Jamie was still running away from the dinosaur. Sure she knew that it was fake after she could still hear Mike screaming at the other end of the training room. The other two member of gray team was already gone. Jai was some how stepped on while's Adriana ran into a tree while she was watching Jai getting stepped on. When she started running again she didn't notice the giant log tied to a vine swinging right into her body causing her to fly through the air and land right into the T-rex's mouth. So now most of the trainees except for Jamie were already back with the Sarge and Naruto. Everyone was watching how Jamie was going to get rid of the T-rex. Kelly on the other hand was flirting with Naruto. Naruto was flirting back while he had a clone pay attention to what happens to Jamie.

"Do you not have any good ideas on how to get rid of that thing Cortana?" Jamie asked as she narrowly dodge the attempted bit to her head.

"I have no such data on how to defeat a dinosaur in my data bank. Perhaps you can be the first to give out such method." Cortana said to her.

"The first chance I get, I'm going to get rid of you and get a better AI." Jamie mumbled to her self.

"Then I will send a report to Halsey and inform her that you request to replace me. Also duck in two point five seconds." Cortana said.

Jamie took her advice and ducked as the T-rex tried eating her again. She turn her head to see the T-rex's mouth stuck between some trees. Jammie was still running at full speed as she signed in relief as that was over. Then she felt as though she was running on thin air. She looked down to see that she was actually running in the air as she ran off the cliff.

"Aw fuck." She said before gravity took affect and she started plummeting towards the ground.

"Did I forget to mention that there was a cliff ahead of us? My mistake." Cortana said in what Jamie would soon call it, her sarcastic tone.

Jamie started to look around to see if she could fine anything to grab on to. As she continued to look she saw a clone appear next to him. In one of his hand, he had a bowl of steaming hot ramen and in the other, he had a jet pack.

"Here this should help." The clone said as he tossed the jet back in front of her. She grabbed it as the clone dispelled it self.

With the rest of the trainees, they were starting to make bets on how she was going to finish the course. Kelly on the other wand was flirting with Naruto.

"Now that I know that you actually the real Naruto..." She said with a predatory grin. Naruto knew that look all to well, he was giving that look to her as his acceptance to the challenge.

"You know, if you showed up a few years earlier, you and me would be things that everyone talks about."

"About what my dick size is or all the sex we could be having?"

"Or all the skimpy clothes that I could have posed for you. I do have a nurses outfit that I think is a size to mall..." She said to him while fixing her breasts since the bra wasn't helping. She got the reaction she wanted from the other mail populace as they all shot back my a nosebleed at the sight her impressive bust moving.

They continued there banter for a while, not noticing the group slowly dwindling down from blood lost or running away to fix a growing...itch that was developing within their loins. Kyuubi came into the training room holding some bracers from the armor. She noticed that Naruto was talking to Kelly. Now Kyuubi did was used to women flirt with Naruto, but not women who are trying to feel up her love one. Her teeth started to grind a little as she saw Kelly getting a little too touch for her liking. She walked up to them and 'accidentally' bumped Kelly out of her way. Naruto raised an eye brow at that.

"Oops sorry Kelly I didn't see you there." She said with a fake smile. "Anyways, Koi I got you some new bracers, its from the new armor that the good doctor is working on. These are the prototype."

Naruto looked at the new bracers with interest. They looked the same as the forearm armor that he had on right without the added hand glove armor on it. He place one of them on to get the feel for them. They felt slightly better though they were heavier than the last. It was slight thinner for more movement. When he flicked his writ the blades shot out quickly. Naruto looked at Kyuubi for an answer, but was met with the ever flirtatious Kelly.

"Now that she out of the way..." She said. "How about you and me leave this place and get something to eat?"

Naruto would have said yes, but Kyuubi shoved her out of the way. He sweat dropped as he saw both women started to argue about them shoving each other. He shrugged and went back to watching how Jamie was doing. He saw that Jamie was flying through the air looking for the stupid finish line while dodging flying objects being thrown at her. Naruto was impressed that she was dodging everything was going well. He looked back to see if the girls finally calmed down. Instead he saw that they were still arguing and it looked like they were about to start a cat fight. He could see the irritated look on Kyuubi's face and Kelly slowly grabbing her SMG's on her hips. He saw that Jamie was also flying towards the mountain that had the finish sign on it. She was about to reach it before an explosion erupted in the room and the simulation was immediately shut down. The room became back to it barren room. Jamie's jet back also disappeared and she started to free fall from the ceiling. It wasn't as high as the cliff so she just let her self fall till she landed on the ground and created a small crater.

Out side the ship

Out side of the Pillar of Autumn, the small war ship that was sent here was firing at the ship and was sending out the smaller drop ships to start boarding the ships. The General that was in charge was suiting up his armor as he was giving directions. He may have been one of the weakest, but he made up for it with his intellect. He was the general that made most if not all the battle plans since his plans always follow through, even if there are casualties. He ordered the rest of the troop to start boarding the ship on the other side and while the first wave of troops will give them cover fire. He will board the ship on the second wave. He took out his plasma sword and clipped it to his hip. He was ready to board and utterly destroy the Spartans. Or so he thought.

Back on the ship

Everyone was already in motion in trying to stop them. Captain Keyes was barking orders left and right as more explosions were erupting around the ship. He ran towards the PA system and made it to be heard all over the ship.

"Attention all personnel, we are under attack by the Covenant. All soldiers are ordered to arm and defend the ship. All Spartans are under my command as of right now. Halsey has been sent to a remote location that only she knows. All Spartans are to suit up and help with the soldiers." Keyes yelled before it was cut off.

Everyone in the train room bolted out of there, the Spartans all went to the armory to suit up. Since Jamie was already in armor, She ran ahead towards the bridge. Naruto put the other bracer on and ran out of the room towards on of the near by explosions. What he saw a small pod that crashed into the side of the ship. He crouched down and flexed his hands as he got ready for what was about to come. The pod opened and steam came out of it and out came a few grunts two elite's and one Jackal came out of it. Naruto jumped to the side as the grunt started to fire at him. He charged at the at high speed, but was slow enough for them to see him. He jumped towards them as the blades started to come out and was about to pierce the flesh of grunts.

The Bridge

Captain Keyes was still on the bridge as he was monitoring and trying to make a plan on how to stop them. So far the covenant were coming from all sides, half of their guns were offline or destroyed and from what he could see in the camera feed, the soldiers will soon over matched as there are more Covenant troops than the soldiers can shoot down. He heard an explosion behind him, with his all his training in the Marines, he was still fast with him pulling out his pistol and aiming it at his target. He lowered the pistol as he say that it was Jamie coming in. Well, he only knew Jamie's nickname.

"Chief, glad that you made it here in one piece. Plug in Cortana into the systems so we can have a chance on saving the ship and making it to the rest of the UNSC fleet near earth." Keyes said as a pillar rose from the floor.

Jamie nodded and took out the chip that Cortana was stored on. She placed her on the pillar and a hologram of Cortana appeared. Keyes told Cortana to download all information that is stored on the ship to her data base and formulate a plan on any possible action that they could do. As the three waited for Cortana to say something Kyuubi appeared in a white cloud. Keyes was about to point his gun at her, but was stopped by Jamie.

"Kyuubi what do you want?" Jamie asked.

"I was wondering as to why we haven't started to evacuate the ship?"

"Why do we need to evacuate, with Cortana here we will have a plan to stop them." Keyes said. All he saw was Kyuubi shaking her head.

"No you won't. With this may troops, you don't have enough soldiers to stop them. If this keeps up then everyone will most likely be slaughtered." After she said that, Cortana was finished with download.

"Actually she is right. The amount of forces that is boarding this ship and based on the damage on the ship, there is about six point three five percent and declining that we will win this battle. I recommend that we abandon ship and head towards halo were we can use to find a way back to the forces."

"Wait make an estimate on how long before all of the Covenant is on this ship."

"It will take them about five minutes before they are all inside the ship." Cortana said immediately.

"Cortana I want you to start the self destruct sequence for the ship and head down to that Halo looking thing there."

"What about you Captain Keyes?" She asked.

"I will join you after I make sure that everyone is still on."

Cortana nodded and disappeared back into the chip. Jamie placed Cortana back into her suit, She looked at Keyes for a second before she made sure that Cortana could not hear what they were about to say.

"Your not going to leave are you sir." She said with the voice augmenter on.

"No I won't be. I will be trying to land the Autumn on that thing. Besides, a good captain always go down with his ship. " He then handed her his pistol. "Sorry I don't keep it loaded."

Jamie took the gun and left. She nodded and headed out of the bridge. Keyes looked back at the monitors and sent out a message to all soldiers to abandon ship and head over to what he called the halo. He then override the auto-pilot and took manual control. He pulled up the time and waited before he started to steer the ship himself.

"Well, it was a good run. On the bright side I will go down while taking some of them with me." He thought to him self.

Kyuubi took that and left to go back into Naruto's body as she wanted to get ready for when they land on Halo. She said her good bye before she left. Jamie gave a salute to her captain as she headed out of the door. As Jamie was heading out the lights went out in the hallway. The suit turned on the flash light that was equipped in it and it filled the room with some light. She turned her head and found that there were some grunts looking around in the dark. When one of the grunts noticed the light, all of them looked at her before they yelled and started to run from her. A sweat dropped on her fact that they were running away from her before they even fought. She walked passed them as they were running around in circles. When she walked through the other side she saw that Naruto was standing there with the blades of his bracers dripping with the blood of the enemy. He held the Elite round its neck and was held off the floor. The Elite was struggling to loosen Naruto's grip. Naruto just gripped it's neck harder. His grip continued to tighten as he raised his other hand and let the blade slowly come out. The Elite saw the blade and knew then that it's life was about to end. Naruto didn't even bat an eyelash as he plunged the blade into the Elite's heart. Blood splattered on his face, but he didn't flinch. Jamie wasn't really affected as she saw Naruto kill it. It was the enemy and she was taught not to show mercy to the enemy.

"So what's the plan Jamie?" He asked her as he dropped the corpse on the ground.

"We are to abandon ship and head over to Halo." She said as he picked up one of the plasma rifles that was dropped from the Elite.

"You mean the thing that look a giant metal ring outside of space?" Naruto asked as he wiped the blood from his blades. He was surprised that the blade held against the plasma blade.

Jamie nodded and started heading down the corridor. Naruto followed her lead as he watched her back. For a while they met no resistance as they made their was towards the escape pods. That changed when they turned to one of the doors it held Grunts,Elites,Jackals and a Hunter there. When the Covenant turned to see who was entering they saw them. They all stared at them for a few seconds. Naruto then broke the awkward staring contest with a nervous chuckle.

"Sorry, wrong room." He said as he pushed the button for the doors to close. The door was about to close before an Elite stopped it with its hand and said one word.

"Fire..."

The Hunter fired off a a giant plasma bullet at Naruto. Jamie Jumped to the side while Naruto raised it hand and caught the bullet. Jamie's eyes twitched at that and grumbled show off under her breath. Naruto looked at he bullet for a second before he threw it back at the Hunters barrel. The Hunter turned its head to see what happened while the rest of the occupants Tried to get a way. The doors closed and Naruto sealed it before they heard the boom. Jamie sighed and they continued to head out towards the escape pods. They met up with Kelly along the way before they were pinned down as Some Jackals and Elites were firing at them. They were in the corridor just a few levels below the pods. Naruto was trying to find the Elites that were invisible at the moment. They were annoying him to no end with all the shots and cuts he was getting from them. Kelly was making cover fire for Jamie as she was slowly making her way towards the stairs to the next level. Right now she was firing up at the Jackals that were blocking them. Their shields were slowly wearing down with each round Jamie fired. She found a plasma grenade that was near her and picked some of them up. She counted them and threw one of them at the Jackal's feet. It tried to get it away as the others ran, but the grenade exploded and killed one Jackal while it injured the one close by.

"Can we please hurry this up? I think I just heard the ship say we got 30 seconds till the ship blows up!" Naruto yelled as he ducted under the swing from one of the Elites and stabbed it in quick successions to its chest before it fell.

"Well then why don't you actually help then and not be swinging around like a mad man?" Kelly said as she continued to give cover fire before she ran out of of bullets. "Shit, Jamie sit tight I'm reloading." Kelly didn't notice the up coming Plasma sword heading towards her. When she looked up she had half a second to dodge. She moved her head to the side as used the but of her gun to hit who ever was swinging that in its knee. The camouflage disappeared and the Elite fell down to one knee. She hit it over its head with her elbow a couple of times before it's blood was smeared all over the floor. She finished reloading her guns and started shooting again and took out the last two Jackals and allowed Jamie to head up the stairs. Kelly soon followed as she made another complaint at him.

"Hey I am helping here its just that..." Naruto ducts from a swing. "You guys don't have to fight invisible people!" He blocked the Plasma sword and stabbed the Elite that was behind him. Then he pivoted and stuck both of his blades into the face of the invisible Elite's. He saw them fall before he jumped back as a green bullet was fired at him. Naruto looked to were it was fired and up on one of the levels was the General him self. Naruto narrowed his yes and watched as the general jumped down and landed in front of him with what looked like a the Covenants version of a rocket luncher except that the ammo was all green.

"Kneel before me whelp and I may let your death be painless." The general said.

"Hmm how about no. You see my legs are hurt and I can't really kneel right now..." Naruto sad as he turned to his side as another rocket was fired at him and passed by him. He could tell the general was a little angry at the remark. He continued to dodge the rockets before the general ran out.

The General growled in anger and threw the gun away. He unclipped his Plasma sword and activate it. Naruto flicked his wrist and let the blades drew out. He noticed that they started to glow blue as they were out. The general wasted no time to charge at him while he was distracted. Naruto turned his head to see the blade approaching his face. He brought up his blade to block it. Without missing a beat, he used the blade slide off to direct the plasma sword to one side and slide the blade off and used his other hand to plunge the blade into the Generals skull. The General tilted his head to the side for only the blade to cut his cheek. The general kicked Naruto in the chest to give him some room. He took out a plasma grenade and activated and quickly threw it at Naruto. The grenade was split in half as Naruto sliced it with his blade. Naruto jumped into the air as it flew through some hand signs. When Naruto finished he yelled out Katon: Dai endan! He took a deep breath and a fire ball was shot at the General. The general kneeled to the ground as he raised his forearm ans activated a shield that he brought. Naruto frowned when he saw his fireball didn't break through the shield. He crossed his fingers and yelled Kage Bushin no Jutsu! Ten clones of Naruto appeared and they all made a Rasengan in each of their hands. The original started to channel wind chakra into his, two clones lighting, two water, two fire, two earth and the last two from what he was trying to do was the black chakra from the menacing ball. The clones all dived down and towards the Generals shield. Each one of the closed Rasengan's that hit it cracked till the earths one broke through it. The original smirked before he hit him with his won and tore through the body. Naruto pulled his arm out of the Generals body.

"You think you won?" The general said as he could feel his life fading. "This is only the beginning. Hahahaha." Naruto raised an eyebrow as to why he was laughing before he heard the beeping that was coming from Generals hand. Naruto bolted out of there before it exploded.

The room exploded as he jumped up to the escape pod level. He saw that Jamie was shooting down the grunts and that Kelly was fighting off Elites by hand to hand. He ran up to them while he stabbed two grunts that got in his way, rolled over the back of an Elite and stabbed it in the neck and then sweep kicked the Jackals that were blocking some of the pods. He stomped on their chests and crushed them. Naruto Picked up the injured Marine that was on the ground fighting off some grunts and threw him in the escape pod. He told Jamie and Kelly to get in there also. He picked up one of the rifles that littered the floor and started shooting to give the cover. Jamie nodded and called Kelly to head over to the pod. Kelly round house kicked one of Elites in the head and flipped back towards the pods entrance. Naruto continued to fire and pick up the guns to give them time to enter. He threw a stray grenade at them as Kelly entered first then Jamie. He shut the door and hit the ejection button for them to take off. Jamie and Kelly both turned to look at him with wide eyes. They slammed their fists at the door as the pod shot off. Naruto waved at them with a smile as he watched their pod safely enter the Halos atmosphere. He turned back at the approaching group of Elites. They did't look happy. Naruto cracked his neck and flexed his hands as he watch them get ever closer. They all heard that the ship was approaching the halo atmosphere and the ship was about to be destroyed in twenty-seconds.

"So...who's first?" he asked them as he took out a tri-pong kunai with a special seal attached at the handle.
