Isunusi.

Halo. Log XIII. - Miranda Keyes.

-Typing in bold means another language-


I rushed down the hall and into the boarding bridge that connected to Chae's ship.

I almost ran into and probably over some unggoy's.

"Kenny! Kenny?" I called out, Gewn appeared first though. "Gwen! Gwen! Good, it's bad! Very bad! T'vvae is planning an-" Gwen shushed me. "Quiet. Their holding a meeting, keep your voice down, and Kenny's back on the ship." I sighed, "Fine, fine, but it's an ambush! Chae is following T'vvae's orders! It's an ambush!" I held my hands out in a strong gesture that it's true.

"Wha- Ambush? Since when!?" She yelled. "Ol'bay just said the mission was to ambush the UNSC! Said since they came here it was to gain the UNSC trust and then ambush us!" I said trying to get it all out so we can stop this meeting.

"We need to get in there!" Gwen said, her and I both rushed up to the rooms door. "Hold it, only UNSC allowed." He said. "Gwen, go in." I looked up to her. "But I don't know wha-" I pushed her forward. "Go in!" I shouted at her and she finally went in.

I sighed, this might not go well.

Gwen's PoV

"Sir!" I said coming face to chestwith Chief first after Isu pushed me in. "Er... Excuse me, Chief." I stepped out to the side. "Sir!" I said, saluting her. "What is it private?" Commander Miranda Keyes said. "Isunusi came to warn you, the guard wouldn't let her in though, she keeps repeating Chae and his squad are here to ambush you, in hopes to take us down from the inside I believe." I said sternly.

"What?" Chief, Cortana, Keyes and the few marines in the room looked toward Chaeand the Elites. "Where is Isunusi, human?" Chae said in a deep tone. "Outside the room." I answered. "Bring her to-" "Is it true?" Chief asked. "Are you planning an ambush from the inside?" He added, Chaegrowled. "Bring Isunusi here." I looked to Keyes, she nodded once.

Turning around I opened the door. "Isu, Chae wants to see you." I said.

Isu came inside the room, sadly her leg and other mechanical parts of her limited her mobility, which made her seem... odd, different then the Elites in the room.

"Is it true, Isunusi? Are they planning an ambush?" Keyes asked. Isu nodded. "Ol'bay told me when we waited for your return, said that the mission here was to gain trust, then ambush the UNSC from the inside, making it nearly impossible to reclaim the position you are in." She answered formally.

Chae seemed to growl but, kept it low. In a strangely dark tone Chae addressed Isu in their language, leaving us confused.

Chief walked up to Isu. "Isunusi, are you sure?" He asked, interrupting Chae's angered conversation. "Ol'bay said... He said T'vvae told Chaethat it was my plan, my reason for escaping with you..." She answered. "Your plan?" Keyes said.

"It truly wasn't, I only discovered this a few moments ago, then rushed here to warn you, I didn't know if was going to happen today or tomorrow, all I know is that T'vvae, the bastard, told Chae it was my plan, but I haven't even had contact with any sangheili orunggoy since I arrived here!" She exclaimed.

Miranda, having no experience with Isunusi what so ever, looked toward Chief.

"She's never lied before, and she always seemed to be right." Chief answered. Keyes looked in deep thought, Isu looked worried and Chief stood there awaiting Keyes decision. "Are you sure?" She asked. "She's helped the marines, Captain Keyesand me, never once she lied." He replied quickly and confidently.

"Very well. Marines, exit the ship, push them out." She turned and walked away.

Isu sighed, Chief watched Chae and the Elite's for any cheap shots.

I walked out and back onto our ship, Chief and Isu were still inside.

Isunusi's PoV.

Chief stood behind me.

"This could get bad fast, we need to go." He said. "Isu, if I return without the head of your demon I will be sentenced to dishonor and possibly death, your compassion is what I rely on, what I've always hoped for, give me the demon and we will leave this ship alone and we will be saved." Chae looked at Chief who was slightly aiming a pistol at him.

"I cannot do that, even if I wanted to Chae, this 'demon' is the humans last chance for survival, if I betrayed him I would loose everything I've worked for... and I accept him as a friend, a good, loyal and protective friend. If my brother knew how he protected me, even when we faced the parasite, he would swear a life-debt to him, Master Chief has saved my life more then once, I will not betray that." I answered sternly as Chae sighed with a growl.

"Then you are truly lost, from the great journey, the prophets and our purpose, you are no longer sangheili, Isunusi, you are what you fear, you are human." Chae said. "But I still cannot leave without the head of this demon, or of the humans commander." Chae aimed a plasma pistol at him and Chief instantly fired at Chae which killed him and caused a battle with the Elite's in the room.

"Isu, out!" Chief said, marines rushed in to aid Chief.

My uselessness was beginning to bother me. I couldn't do the little bit of fighting I normally could do.

Gwen was already inside helping. I was outside awaiting their return when Ol'bay and various other Elite's came from behind me. Upon turning around I came in contact with a charged plasma pistol.

"You told them... I knew you would after you left so quickly... I am sorry Sun-Sata, I truly am." I closed my eyes.

With the sound of a pistol going off I jumped, Chief stood there with a overheated plasma pistol as Ol'bay fell dead.

"You alright?" Cortana asked from the nearby terminal. "I'm fine, Cortana, thank you... again Chief." He nodded. The remaining Elite's were rounded up and forced back to their ship and thanks to Cortana pushed away from us.

Keyes daughter, Miranda approached me. "Isunusi? You are right, from what it sounds like, you are right again." She smiled. I nodded. "I heard what happened to you when you were trying to save my Father." She said as we walked to the nearest window with Chief, Cortana, Gwen and the rushing up Kenny.

"I appreciate what you've done." She added watching as Chae's ship vanished from sight, "With all do respect Commander Keyes, I haven't done much, if it wasn't for Kenny, Gwen... and Master Chief I would have been dead long ago." I looked up to her. "Still, you are the first, and apparently youngest sangheili to ever aid us in any way." She looked to Kenny who was panting, it made me smile.

"I heard... gun fire... heard... about attack... is Isu... alright?.." He panted bending over. "Fine Kenny, glad you could make it." I smiled widely. "And Private Kenny Jason I presume?" Kenny stood straight and saluted her. "Yes, Ma'am." Gwen smiled at the quick recovery. "You both have been sticking by each other throughout all of this?" She asked, with that Kenny and I both answered in unison. "Through better or worse!"

"Isunusi, how would you like to be the first sangheili to ever be an official marine in the UNSC?" Obviously Kenny, Gwen, Chief, Cortana and her saw my face light up immediately. "I would be honored!" I said excitingly.

With a grin Keyes put her hand on my shoulder. "Welcome to the UNSC, soldier."


Halo. Log XIII. - Miranda Keyes.

Author's note:
Terribly sorry the Ambush isn't what you expected but I needed a way for Miranda to enter, Chae to leave... life... forever... Isunusi to become the first Sangheili marine in the UNSC and that's pretty much it.
I do understand I am not following the Halo story bit by bit, event by event, but that's the point of a fan fic. Enjoy, RandR!
