Chapter 4 A Clue
The stolen cruiser blasted of into space as Halo 3 exploded.
Somewhere far… far… away in space.
343 Guilty Spark was floating along thinking of a plan to trap or kill the Master Chief. He had to save the last Halo from destruction. The Monitor was only 3000 miles from the 4th Halo planet. It turned on its small engine and slowly went on.
Meanwhile…
"Do you know how to drive this thing?" the Chief asked.
Yea, just give me a sec. Wait it's not working. The ship is driving itself. I can't override the system!
"Where is it going?"
To… the last Halo. Why does the Covenant want to go there?
While the conversation went on, 3 Commander Elites quietly came in. They were just about to attack when MC turned around and swiftly disarmed an Elite. The other 2 started slashing and stabbing The Chief. But he was too quick. He blocked one and then stabbed the other right in the stomach. It fell to the floor squealing in pain. The last Elite was too furious to concentrate. It slashed wildly trying to hit MC. Dodging and jumping, MC looked like a martial arts expert in a clumsy green suit. Finally, MC he was able to take the Elite out with one fast jab.
O god. I forgot to check for any life forms. The scanner indicates that there is at least 30 more Covenant life forms on this ship.
"O great. Now you tell me. Set a nav. point on where the most Covenant are."
Every one of them is in the… Armory.
"So I assume they know I'm here."
With 2 plasma swords in hand, MC went to the Armory. Noises could be heard from inside.
"Its sounds like they are mostly Grunts and Hunters."
First, MC threw 3 frag. grenades. When he heard screaming, he charged in. It was hard to see in the smoke but he was still able to kill 2 Hunters and 9 Grunts. There were 3 Hunters and 15 Grunts left. They were all surprised that a human was wielding 2 plasma swords.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It's gonna kill us!" one Grunt yelled. He started running around the room like a maniac. The rest followed. The Hunters however did not move. Master Chief, being the impatient one attacked. All 3 jumped at him. The biggest Hunter was impaled upon one of the plasma swords and instantly died. Now MC had only one sword left. WHACK! A Hunter smashed it's shied against the Chiefs head. His shields were instantly depleted. He ran out the door and threw a few frags. MC waited for his shields to recharge and then charged in again. Only one Hunter was left. With no trouble he cut through the tough armor and flesh.
"Are you sure there are no more Covenant?"
Yes. Positive.
The 2 returned to the bridge.
The ship is still driving itself. No matter what I do. You should use one of the covenant cryo tubes.
MC didn't want to. He was fascinated by the Covenant's advanced technology.
"Make sure you record all the Covenant's ship schematics and other things like that. The UNSC would definitely want to know this."
I know. Cortana replied.
2 weeks later.
The alien cruiser finally arrived at the last Halo. It slowly descended to the ground.
Meanwhile…
343 were already on Halo 4. He had prepared a trap for MC.
Back to MC…
"How do we destroy this planet? Control room again?"
Yes. That is the easiest way. Let me set the coordinates.
They disappeared and reappeared in the control room, but 343 was waiting for them. There was another robot that was identical to 343.
"I am monitor 345 of this Halo planet." The robot said.
"Crap. Another one." The Chief grumbled.
"You have come to this planet without granted permission. You must be destroyed."
20 Sentinels started attacking MC. In no time, his shields were depleted and he was losing health. The chief forgot to take a weapon from the armory. Cortana quickly teleported MC back to the cruiser. He grabbed a plasma pistol and some grenades. They teleported back. It was a difficult fight for MC. Only 8 were shot down before he lost his shields again. Master Chief ran out the door trying to recharge his shields but the Sentinels followed him. In his last resort, MC threw all his plasma grenades at the Sentinels and started running. Luckily most of them stuck. All the Sentinels were destroyed but 343 and 345 were nowhere to be seen. Before teleporting back to the Covenant cruiser, Cortana spotted a blue disc. MC picked it up. Cortana was shut down a while because all the teleportation drained her energy. Up on the cruiser, MC stuck the disc in the main computer. On the screen, a map of the galaxy appeared. Every planet was labeled with it's inhabitants. Cortana could see Earth and the 4 Halos
Looks like they didn't update this map. Cortana said pointing to the 4 Halos
"Look over there." MC pointed to a fairly large teal planet. "It's labeled Forerunners."
Looks like we found the planet.
