Ochaco smiled as she finished tying her hair into a ponytail. She looked in the mirror and gave herself a look over before leaving her quarters.
I wonder what Chief is up to?
She made her way to the turbo lift and entered.
It had been several days since their mission ended with them exploding a moon.
She was relieved to see the Chief lose some of the tension that bugged him and talks with her more casually."
I wonder if he will like my hair?
Ochaco's eyes widened.
NOPE! NOT GOING TO THINK ABOUT THAT!
She looked out at the hanger of the infinity and caught Bakugou harassing some technicians.
She frowned, and uncomfortable feeling forming in her belly.
Ochaco grunted as her head throbbed suddenly.
An image appeared, and for a split second, Ochaco thought it was of Bakugou.
It was.
Just not Katsuki.
Her hair was longer, retaining the same spiky texture of Katsuki's. Her smirk was strong, and her face sinister.
Ochaco then felt a flood of emotions enter her.
Fear.
Anguish.
Loneliness.
Loathing.
Her head stopped hurting, and she felt a tear escape.
Does Bakugou have a sister?
She knew whose mind this was from and that only made her more anxious.
She knew that he had some connection to Bakugou. The way he examined him, there was something there.
The Turbo lift door opened, and Ochaco exited the bridge. She smiled genuinely as she saw the captain. Her smile increased when she saw the Master Chief.
"Captain." She spoke with a smile.
Aizawa nodded and sipped his coffee.
She turned to the Chief. "How are you, sir?"
"Tired."
Ochaco laughed. "Same."
Aizawa eyed the two before speaking. "I have news."
"Good or bad?"
Aizawa sighed. "Both."
He typed several commands on the console, and an image of a massive arena appeared.
"The top brass have ordered a special sports fest."
Ochaco's eyes widened, "I don't understand; the sports fest isn't supposed to happen for another nine months?"
Aizawa nodded. "You're correct; this isn't a traditional one."
"What's the sports festival?"
Aizawa chuckled. "Sorry, they added it after the war."
He pressed a few keys, and videos appeared of the sports fest.
"Every year, there is an event. Every student of U.A. participates. Everyone competes in events. There are three main events and several small side ones. The first two change each year, while the final one remains the same. Tourney fight."
Chief watched as several students engaged in combat.
"The purpose was used as a constant showing of the UNSC. By showing off just how strong each new year of soldiers was, while also being a way for the public to feel secure by seeing how strong their new defenders are."
Chief turned his head to Aizawa. "How many Spartans are there?"
"Not many. General forces are included. Different events are made to keep it from being a blowout for the Spartans. Fighting with Grasshoppers, giving mechanized exoskeletons to the non-Spartans that gives them roughly equal footing, and their own events. But the main event is the Spartans."
Ochaco spoke up. "They have it once a year, around the half-way point in the first semester."
"So why are they having one now?"
"He looked at Chief, "It's because of you."
Chief's head tilted. "What?
"You never competed in the sports festival, seeing you were on ice. The big brass wants to capitalize on this. Want to show everyone that the Master Chief has returned."
"But why a sports fest? Who will compete."
1A, 2A, and the Shiketsu elite."
Ochaco's eyes widened. "Shiketsu?!"
Aizawa nodded.
"When will this event take place?"
"In a month."
Chief's hands stopped their movements.
"Do...are the Spartans allowed to use their armor?"
Ochaco felt immense anxiety flow through her. Her chest tightened, and she struggled to control her breathing.
"Typically, no, but with this being an all Spartan, I believe so."
The Chief nodded.
Ochaco felt the tension fade away, relief takings its place.
"The fleet admiral will be making the announcement tomorrow; I wanted to give you two a heads up beforehand," Aizawa stated. "Our old group will be there."
"All of them?"
Aizawa nodded. "Nemuri, Tensei, Hizashi, Snipe, Emi, and I will be there."
Chief tilted his head and stared at him.
"And?"
Aizawa sighed. "And Mitsuki."
Ochaco felt the tension return, this time is coiled in her stomach and didn't leave.
"You both should have received an itinerary; you should go over it and become familiar with it."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
Aizawa nodded. "Dismissed."
Chief walked briskly out of the bridge, Ochaco following close by.
They both entered the turbo lift. Chief pressed his floor and Ochaco her.
Ochaco waited until the turbo lift entered a dark area and pressed the stop button.
"Commander?''
She turned to him. "Sir, what's bothering you?"
He tensed his hands.
She felt part of him hesitate, while the other part wanted to speak.
"Is it about meeting that woman the captain spoke of?"
Ochaco felt the pit in her stomach grow large as the Chief's hands tensed.
"Sir?"
Chief looked around.
"No one can hear us. This part of the ship has no radio signal. Complete privacy."
He tilted his head. "And what happens if someone tries to use the lift?"
"A message saying it's in use will appear. No one will question it unless it takes too long. I'd say we have about an hour or two before someone notices it."
He stared at her. "How do you know that?"
Ochaco smiled. "I need some alone time now and then."
Ochaco sat on the ground, patting the floor next to her. Chief stared at her before sighing and joining her.
They sat in silence for a few moments before Chief spoke.
"What would you say, in your professional opinion, are the most outstanding things about Katsuki Bakugou?"
Ochaco's eyes narrowed, and she frowned. "His anger. His drive. His...ferocity. He acts like a wild animal but remains in control. He's feral and doesn't care about what other people think and feel."
"Just like his mother."
Ochaco's eyes widened.
"M-Mother?!"
"Her name was Mitsuki. It seems her husband took her last name."
"Y-Y-You were on the same squad as Bakugou's mom?!"
Chief clenched his hands. "We were raised on the same planet."
Ochaco's eyes widened further. "She was on Reach?!"
"Her parents were high ranking officers at the time. ...Director Midoriya was close friends with her parents and asked them to be stationed on Reach to assist with the Spartan project."
She felt that he was keeping something back. It was eating away at him. Gnawing away at his self.
"What did she do to you?"
Chief tensed. "I-Uh."
She placed a hand on his shoulder. "Its okay, you're safe with me."
He looked at her before staring at the door.
"I knew her since we were both children. Saw her almost every day, even went to the same school for a while."
"You were on Reach as a child?"
"Yes."
Before she could speak, he stopped her. "I can't tell you why. I… I can't."
She felt the anxiety skyrocket and let it go. "Okay. Tell me more about her."
He sighed and she felt the anxiety fade a bit.
"She is an identical version of Katsuki. Down to the smirk. He even looks like her, the difference being she had long hair."
Ochaco hid her shock as the images from earlier reared into her mind.
"It was… difficult. She was a very...hard person to be around. That continued until the last mission I ran with her."
"She….."
She felt him shiver. "I… I don't want to see her. I… can't."
Ochaco watched as her hero felt powerful anxiety at the thought of meeting his former teammate again.
What did she do to you?
"You don't have to."
He turned to her. "I don't know if I'll have a choice."
"Then I'll help you."
He looked at her. "What?"
She smiled at him. "I'll help you!"
He stared at her with disbelief.
"If she comes close or wants to speak with you, I'll ring your comm and call you over. You can tell her its "official business." and you'll be free!"
He stared at her as she smiled radiantly.
"How do you always do that?"
Her eyes widened, and she looked at him curiously. "What do you mean?"
"Shine brighter than a star."
Ochaco felt her cheeks turn darker than Todoroki's hair.
"I, uh. Sorry."
Ochaco waved her hands, "Y-You're fine!"
"You said it would take an hour or two for them to notice the lift missing?"
Ochaco blush went away as she looked at him curiously. "Yes."
He leaned his head back against the wall and sighed. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to test that theory."
Ochaco smiled and mirrored his movements.
"Yes, sir."
An hour and forty-five minutes later, the lift arrived at the destination.
"We have a mission tomorrow; I will send you, Tokoyami, and Asui the details."
Ochaco smiled. "Yes, sir."
He nodded. "I will see you later, Uraraka."
He entered his quarters, and Ochaco reentered the turbo lift.
She smiled the entire time as she made her way to her room.
The door opened, and she saw Asui.
"Hey!"
Asui turned and smiled. "Nice to see you."
Ochaco smiled. "Did you get the update? We have a mission tomorrow."
Asui fidgeted. "Oh, I, uh, I can't come."
"What?" Ochaco asked.
Asui tapped her fingers together. "Uhh, Tokoyami, and I have to assist Kirishima's team for a mission."
Ochaco narrowed her eyes. "What kind of mission?"
Asui hid her nervousness just barely. "An escort mission. A high-ranking diplomat is arriving for a conference. Kirishima needs extra hands, so we were pulled in."
Ochaco sighed. "I wish I was let in on this knowledge."
"It was a last-minute thing."
Ochaco smiled and shook her head. "I understand, Chief and I should be good."
"I mean, he is the Master Chief."
Ochaco beamed. "I know! It's so cool!"
Asui cleared her throat. "I have to get going; see you soon."
'Bye!" Ochaco waved.
Asui shuffled down the corridor until she was away from Ochaco.
Sorry Uraraka, I had no choice.
Earlier
"Sooooooo, Asui." Mina chirped.
Asui gulped.
After she had spilled the beans, Mina and the rest of the girls whisked her away to a private room.
Mina's smile had grown into something terrifying as she spoke.
"What is this about Uraraka seeking out the Master Chief?"
Asui tapped her fingers together. "It wasn't a big deal. He disappeared after the mission, and she went to find him."
Mina's eyes shined. "Okay, are you sure that's all that happened?"
"Y-Yeah."
Mina's smile increased. "You don't sound so sure, Asui."
Tsuyu waved her hands. "I-I mean, I did see them talking to each other."
"What did they say?" Jirou asked.
"I couldn't hear, only see."
"What were they doing?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"I don't know if I should say. It was a private moment." Asui whispered guiltily.
"Tsu, you have to!" Hagakure exclaimed.
"PLEASE!" Mina begged. "YOU KNOW SHIPPING IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE! I'LL DIE IF YOU DON'T TELL ME!"
"Drama queen," Jirou muttered.
"PLEASE!" Mina and Hagakure begged.
"I-It wasn't too big, I guess," Asui replied.
"What happened?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"I went after Uraraka after she left Tokoyami and I. When I found them, she had him in a hug."
"WHAT?!" Mina and Hagakure screamed.
"Then they sat on the bench; the Master Chief looked like something was really bothering him. Whatever she said seemed to make him feel better. They held hands the whole time."
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHH! THAT'S SO ROMANTIC!" Mina screamed.
"THE FLUFF! MY HEART!" Hagakure swooned.
"That is pretty sus," Jirou stated as she saw that Mina might have a point.
Mina threw her hands in the air. "AND I BET YOU THEY BOTH DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY LIKE EACH OTHER!"
"What makes you say that?" Jirou asked.
"Because Uraraka is too caught up in hero worship! And the Master Chief is a guy!"
"What does that have to do with any of this?" Jirou snarked.
"Guys are dense." Hagakure stated.
All the girls sighed. "That's true."
"I had to ask Shoto on our first date. I found out he was so nervous and wanted to ask me out for so long." Yaoyorozu said with a smile.
"SO! Let's get them together!" Mina exclaimed.
Yaoyorozu shook her head. "Even if I were for the idea of setting the two of them up, I'm not sure it would be a good idea right now."
Jirou rose an eyebrow. "Why?"
Yaororozu smiled softly. "First, I think we should have faith in Uraraka. She knows how to go after what she wants."
"That is true," Asui stated. "She fought hard to get into 1A and even got transferred from 1B."
Yaoyorozu's smiled died down. "And the second, I don't think it's a good idea to try and push them together, especially the Master Chief."
"Why?" Mina asked her voice calmer.
"Think about it. He woke up, everyone he knew is twice his age, have families, and lost the person closest to him. His world has shifted drastically. I don't think it would be healthy to try and force something between them."
Mina smiled deviously. "Ahh, but there's where you are wrong. They already HAVE a connection! You can tell, from the announcement of our teams, to what Asui just told us, somethings already there. All we would need to do is give them a little more...more of a push."
"She's got you there," Jirou replied.
"Okay, how about this. Whenever it's not suspicious, just ask her about Master Chief." Mina stated.
"Why?" Jirou asked.
"It gets her to think more about how she feels about the Master Chief! It makes her examine what she feels and why!"
"That's...actually a good idea," Yaoyorozu said.
Mina smirked. "You may be the smartest person on the ship, but I am queen when it comes to relationships.
"But how do we do that?" Hagakure asked.
Mina smiled devilishly. "With Kirishima's help."
The girls looked at her questionably.
"Being the girlfriend of the squad leader has its perks, especially when I get to find out about missions ahead of time. And I know that Uraraka's squad has a mission in a few days."
"What kind of mission?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"A survey mission. They are going to a newly settled Halo ring and surveying it. It's clear of all Covenant forces and is not expected to have any difficulty." Mina replied.
She turned to Asui. "And my squad is running an escort mission, and we could always use the extra hands."
"How will you convince Kirishima?" Yaoyorozu asked.
Mina smirked. "I have my ways." She said with a hint of seduction in her tone.
The girls shivered. "TMI."
"What about the standard troops? How are you going to have them be alone when there are marines there?" Asui asked.
"Oh, that's easy." Hagakure chirped. "Since they are going on a low-risk mission, with plenty of back up a call away, it will be easier to have just the two of them."
Mina smirked. "Especially when I have Kirishima request for more troops."
Yaoyorozu, Jirou, and Asui shivered. "You are terrifying."
Mina clapped her hands. "Meeting Adjourned!"
Ochaco double-checked the cargo manifest, her eyes peering over every detail.
It would take them a few days to fully investigate the ring. More tedious than anything else. It would go quicker if they had Asui and Tokoyami, but she understood the importance of their assignment.
"We good to go?"
Ochaco smiled as the Master Chief entered the cockpit.
"Yes, sir!"
"Hit it."
The pilot nodded, and the ship exited the Infinity.
Chief sat across from Ochaco. "How long until we arrive at the ring?"
"About three hours."
"Are you nervous about the sports festival?"
Ochaco sighed. "How could you tell?"
"A hunch." He lied.
Ochaco let her smile fall.
"I...my quirk was never the best for combat; it still isn't. I could only go so far with what I had. You've seen the videos of Todoroki and Bakugou; I can't compete with them, or most of my classmates."
She thought of her parents, their cheering faces as she wanted to make them proud so desperately.
"I don't stand a chance against them. Every year I end up losing, and this year will be no different, except now it'll be even more embarrassing."
Chief felt sadness and worry enter him. He felt her anxiety wash over him. He clenched his fists as memories from his youth flashed before him.
He would NEVER allow anyone to feel that way again.
Something burned inside of him.
He would never allow HER to feel that way.
"Not this year."
She looked at him. "What?"
He leaned forward. "You are going to show them how strong you are."
She smiled. "Thank you,, sir, but it's not possible."
"I expect you not to talk that way during training."
She looked at him. "What?"
"I am going to train you for the sports festival."
Ochaco stared at him, her eyes wide, and her jaw dropped.
"You...are going….to train….me? She whispered.
"Unless you don't want me to?"
"I-I-I do! I do!"
OMIGOSH!OMIGOSH!OMIGOSH!OMIGOSH!OMIGOSH!OMIGOSH!OMIGOSH!OMIGOSH!HE WANTS TO TRAIN ME!
She smiled brightly, "I do! S-Sir! I-I-I always dreamed of training with you!"
He nodded. "Roger that."
He leaned forward and activated a nearby screen.
"From what I have observed, most of your classmates have offensive type quirks. This seems to be why they don't use weapons as much."
Ochaco sighed. "Yeah, their quirks are amazing."
"And that's what you'll capitalize on."
She looked at him with questions as he paused the video.
"With the exception of Ojiro and Asui, their combat training has been primarily quirk training. They rely on their quirk and a decent level of hand to hand training to carry their battles. However,"
He went to a different video, one showing the Mjolnir armor statistics.
"This is their disadvantage."
Ocahco looked at him. "Sir, how is that a disadvantage? Their armors are just as strong as mine. It's like a tank."
"And a straightjacket."
He went to another video, Ochaco scowling as Bakugou appeared without his armor.
"What do you see?"
She watched as he laughed maniacally, blasting through the air as he fought students.
"A big jerk, but a super mobile one."
The Chief swiped right,, and another video played, one of Bakugou fighting with his armor.
"And now?"
Ochaco watched closely as he ran headfirst and fired multiple blasts.
"Sir, it's the same thing. The only difference is now he has armor and he's not… flying… around."
"Exactly."
He pointed a finger at her. "You are the only person who can negate the weight effects of the Mjolnir armor. You are the only one in your class how can move around in your armor like it weighs nothing because you can make it weigh nothing. This gives you an incredible weight advantage and mobility advantage."
"But the armors have been built with neural interfaces? Weight shouldn't be a problem."
Chief shook his head. "Most armors still have natural limitations. They were built for more traditional combat, not airborne, over the top spectacles. The weight is not as great, but it is still there. Removing it will increase your overall abilities."
Her eyes were the size of dinner plates as she leaned back in her seat.
"I… I never thought of using it like that. I figured getting used to the weight of the armor was something I had to do."
"How good are your martial arts skills?"
She smirked and held her hand up, forming it into a fist.
"I trained under Gun-Head, a master of martial arts."
"Gun-Head, good soldier. Fought with him in a few battles, even helped him with some of his training."
Ochaco's eyes widened in disbelief.
Can he get any cooler?!
"I assume you primarily use grapples and takedowns?"
Ochaco nodded.
"That will be advantageous. The Mjolnir armor is bulky, which will give you plenty of room to grapple. And with your increased speed and mobility, coupled with your martial arts training, you will close the gap between you and your classmates."
Ochaco stared at him in awe.
He's the greatest soldier ever.
"Wait, if the Mjolnir armors weren't made for parkour and acrobatics, why can you and Asui do them?"
"I assume Asui has had her armor modified. By the looks of it, she has traded defense for mobility, something valuable given her quirk. As for myself, my armor is custom made."
Now THAT, that is interesting.
"When...When could we train?" Ochaco asked, hoping the eagerness in her voice went unheard.
"We can start once we've cleared the ring. We have roughly ten days for this mission. We can use downtime to train."
She smiled. "Yes, sir."
He nodded. "My pleasure, Uraraka."
"Hey, are you excited about the sports fest?"
He tensed. "Not particularly."
She felt fear enter her.
"Why?"
He shifted in his seat and fidgeted with his hands.
"I'm not one for the spotlight."
You deserve it.
"I'd much prefer to stay on the field, doing my duty."
She smiled. "Well, I am excited to see you in action!"
"You've already seen me in action."
"So?"
He stared at her. "You've already seen me fight; why get excited about seeing me fight Spartans?"
She smiled even brighter. "Because it's you."
He squirmed under her gaze and looked to the side.
She felt a flush move through her, and it was not from her.
Oh.
He's blushing.
"I-uh, thank you."
She felt something stir in her.
She wanted to make him blush again.
"Master Chief, sir?" A voice spoke over the intercom.
"Yes?"
"We are approaching the ring, sir."
"Thank you."
Ochaco put on her helmet. "Where are we landing?"
"Near the control center. We need to connect with the main computer; then, we can establish a plan for exploration."
They moved to the rear of the ship and into the hanger.
"It's weird. We will be the only people on the ring." Ochaco mused.
"Considering where Kirishima's team was headed, I understand."
Ochaco smiled. "I am surprised you didn't try to go. They'll be meeting up with your friend."
"We'll have plenty of time to meet up. He's tough, trust me."
The ship landed with a thud.
"I am returning to the Infinity. Radio if you need anything." The pilot spoke.
Chief and Ochaco nodded.
They zoomed out of the ship seconds later, their warthogs roaring as they traversed the grass.
Ochaco marveled as they rode around, the beauty of it taking her breath away.
"It's so beautiful."
"Yes, it is," Chief replied.
They rode for a while longer, not really hurrying as they took in the majesty.
Eventually, they arrived at the control area.
They exited the Warthogs and entered the facility.
"AH! WELCOME RECLAIMER!"
Chief and Ochaco turned and drew their weapons as a small floating orb appear.
"I AM THE MONITOR OF THIS INSTALLATION! YOU MAY CALL ME, TELETRAAN 1!"
Chief stared at the monitor, his body tense.
"AND YOU BROUGHT A FRIEND! HOW WONDERFUL!"
Teletraan 1 floated up to Ochaco. "IT IS VERY NICE TO MEET A FRIEND OF THE RECLAIMER!"
Ochaco and Chief lowered their weapons. "Uh, thank you?"
"MY PLEASURE! NOW, I ASSUME YOU ARE HERE TO CHECK ON THIS INSTALLATION?"
"Yes," Chief spoke.
"WONDERFUL! I AM SO THRILLED TO HAVE THE RECLAIMER INSPECT MY STATION! YOU WILL FIND IT TO BE WELL KEPT! IF YOU WOULD PLEASE FOLLOW ME!"
Chief and Ochaco looked at each other before following the monitor.
They entered a massive control room, dozens of screens and consoles littering the place.
"I HAVE KEPT THIS INSTALLATION SAFE SINCE ITS CREATION! I MUST SAY, I AM QUITE PLEASED WITH IT DESPITE HAVING IT ONLY A SHORT TIME."
"How long have you been in command?" Chief asked.
"APPROXIMATELY THIRTY-TWO DAYS."
"And how old is this station?" Ochaco asked.
"THIRTY-THREE DAYS."
The heads of Chief and Ochaco whipped to the monitor.
"What?" They both spoke.
"THIS INSTALLATION IS THE MOST RECENT INSTALMENT IN OPERATION: NEW DAWN."
"What is that?" Ochaco asked.
"I AM TERRIBLY SORRY, BUT I CANNOT DIVULGE THAT INFORMATION AT THIS MOMENT.."
"Why?" Chief asked.
The screens changed, each showing different aspects of Forerunner society.
"THE FORERUNNERS WERE THE GREATEST CIVILIZATION EVER KNOWN, AND THEY ARE NOW EXTINCT. BEFORE THEY PASSED, THEY PASSED THE MANTLE OF RESPONSIBILITY ONTO THE HUMANS, BUT ONLY WHEN THEY WERE READY."
Image of Chief destroying a Halo ring appeared.
"THE RECLAIMER HERE ACCEPTED THE MANTLE, ALBEIT INADVERTENTLY. WHEN THAT HAPPENED, OPERATION NEW DAWN WAS INITIATED. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO ME, I CANNOT INFORM YOU UNTIL WE ARE READY."
"We?" Chief and Uraraka spoke.
"WHY, THE OTHER MONITORS OF COURSE!"
Images of dozens of monitors appeared on screens.
"WE ARE PREPARING! AND I MUST SAY, YOU HAVE COME AT A MOST OPPORTUNE TIME."
"Why is that?" Chief asked.
"BECAUSE INTRUDERS HAVE INFILTRATED THIS INSTALLATION."
The room shook suddenly.
"OH MY. IT SEEMS THEY HAVE ACTIVATED THE PULSE SHIELD."
Who is on the ring?!" Chief exclaimed.
Images of Brutes, Elites, Grunts, and Jackals appeared.
"I BELIEVE THEY ARE CALLED THE COVENANT."
Ochaco's eyes widened. "How did they get on the ring without us knowing?!"
"THEY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, EVEN BEFORE YOUR STARSHIPS MADE CONTACT. I BELIEVE THEY HID DEEP WITHIN THE WATERS TO AVOID DETECTION. I ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR ATTEMPTS TO ACCESS THE TRIGGER."
Ochaco watched as the Chief went rigid. She felt the locket pulse and immense fear flooded her.
"W-Whats the trigger?"
Chief turned to her, his hands twitching.
"Where the Nomu samples are kept."
Ochaco's eyes widened, and her heart dropped.
"DO NOT WORRY. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN TO THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL THE SAMPLES; THERE IS NOTHING LEFT."
The Chief shuddered and relaxed. "Do they know that?"
"NEGATIVE."
"How many are there?"
Chaco gasped as images of a dozen starships appeared.
"There must be hundreds of them…" Ochaco whispered.
She turned to the Chief. "WE NEED TO CALL FOR BACKUP!"
"I AM AFRAID THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. THE PULSE SHIELD KEEPS TRANSMISSIONS FROM BEING SENT OR RECEIVED. IF YOU WANT TO STOP THEM, YOU'D BETTER HURRY. WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY MIGHT DO."
"Where's the armory?" Chief asked.
"RIGHT THIS WAY."
Ochaco and the Chief followed Teletraan to a massive armory, hundreds of different weapons around them.
"Sir, what are you looking for?"
Chief walked until he found a locked part of the room.
"Open it."
The door opened, and Ochaco gasped.
The first weapon was silver, with green energy leaking from it. It was imposing and large and radiated power.
"The Annihilator?!"
Chief grabbed the weapon and put it on his back.
He turned and grabbed the weapon next to it, Ochaco's eyes widening even further.
It was a large yellow weapon. It resembled a minigun but had a large rocket launcher located in the center.
"A RYNO?!"
"TWO OF THE DEADLIEST WEAPONS THE FORERUNNERS EVER CREATED. ONLY A FEW CANWIELDD IT."
Electricity sparked from the Chief's body and hit the two weapons. They hummed and activated, their power cores lighting up.
"That's correct."
He turned to Ochaco.
"We have to take the fight to them. Find the source of the pulse shield and destroy it; once that's done, reinforcements can get in."
She looked at him. "Can we win?"
He placed a hand on her shoulder, and she felt him smile.
"Of course, I still have to train you for the sports festival."
She smiled.
"Let's do it."
The Ryno maaaay be a reference to Ratchet and Clank.
Please leave a comment and have a wonderful day!
