ME: Alright, time for some good old-fashioned in-space ass-kicking.
CHIEF:
"W-what?" One of the soldiers stuttered in disbelief. "Where the Hell did you gray people come from?"
John shook his head. "She's colorblind isn't she?" he asked the squad.
"Yep," Cortana answered before they could, to the surprise of everyone but him. "She...shows symptoms of being mentally incompetent and/or unstable as well."
"Oh my God, you saved us Master Chief!" A man with pink hair and a high voice exclaimed. "I'm so taking you out shopping later!"
"Alright people," Commander Carter thankfully interrupted, "we got a job to do here. The Covenant and Insurrectionists appear to be here on the Mother of Invention with the intent of capturing the Director and the Counselor. Master Chief, I'm sending you to the bridge to secure the HVIs at all cost. Nobles Six and Seven as well as the troopers will escort you there."
"Alright sir!" The squad leader yelled. "You heard him Chief, lead the way!"
"You can count on us sir!" Noble Seven added as the Chief checked his weapons.
"I know I can Charlotte-."
"What the fuck?!" Even John was surprised at Carter. "All due respect sir, how the Hell did you know my name?"
COUNSELOR:
"AWWWW!" he screamed through his gag. "LET ME GO!"
"HURRY!" one of the four short aliens carrying him exclaimed, completely ignoring him. "THE DEMONS MAY SEE US!"
"WHAT DO WE DO IF THEY SEE US?" asked another.
"DROP THE HUMANS AND RUN!" the first alien answered.
"BUT THEN THE CHIEFTAIN WILL USE US AS TOOTHPICKS!" a third protested.
"SO WE WILL HURRY UP AND GET OFF THIS SHIP, SO THE CHIEFTAIN " suggested
The Counselor sweated bullets as he thought about what would happen. Both he and the Director would have whatever information they wanted tortured out of the two, and then the Covenant would dispose of them. Or they could force both men to work on some project of theirs.
And the worst thing was they wouldn't be rescued.
ME: Thanks to you readers for your collective patience. Review and PM.
