Chapter 3:The Flood
The master chief and the two marines with him silently and stealthily crept through the halls of the weapons research facility. They came to a locked door. Mathew searched through his equipment until he found a decoder.
He punched in the numbers that showed up on his decoder screen onto the main code computer on the door as he flung his belt fed MG-28 machine gun over his shoulder. The master chief raised his silenced machine gun at the door while Evans raised his shotgun, having decided to conserve the little machine gun ammo he had left.
As the door flew open, a horribly mutilated elite fell the ground. One eye had been gouged out, its head spit open vertically and its chest ripped open with its organs hanging out. They were all un-easy, as they knew a human couldn't do this to an elite.
They were even more terrified when they looked into the room. Horribly mutilated covenant littered the ground. A jackal had been hung by the neck to a support beam with its own intestines. A grunt had been impaled to a wall by a dead elites arm bone, which was bloody and had muscle hanging off of it.
Even a hunter lay dead, lying with its shield arm ripped off, and the spikes from its back stabbed through it. "I've got a real bad feeling about this." Mathew Trimboli said warily, his machine gun now levered to blast anything they might encounter. Plasma scoring covered the walls and ceiling.
They were all now scared. Even the master chief was extremely un-easy. They slowly walked around the room. Then they noticed something move behind a bunch of crates. They slowly walked up to it, ready to fill it full of lead. Trimboli pushed the crates aside.
It was an elite. It was huddled in the corner shaking. This made it even worse. Anything that could scare an elite, they didn't want to meet. The elite looked almost happy to see them. It didn't even bother to try to attack them. Luckily, the master chief had a translator. He handed it to the elite and spoke to it.
"What did this?" The chief asked the creature. " T..T.they came out of nowhere! We were just guarding the weapons cache and the ventilation shafts just bust open, they caught us off guard! In the fighting and chaos I managed to hide! They even got Moanyeikja'har!" It explained nodding at the hunter he just mentioned.
" Please, take me prisoner! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE WITH THOSE THINGS!!!" It hysterically pleaded. " We should take him. We might get lost, and he probably knows his way around." Evans said. " Yeah, besides, if wanted to kill us, he would've done it already." Mathew told the chief. The master chief thought about it for a moment.
"Alright, you're coming with us. But try anything and we're killing you." The chief said to the terrified elite." Thank you! I wont try anything!" The elite thanked the marines. " I thought you wouldn't take human help because it's against your gods?" Evans asked.
" If the gods were protecting us, those things wouldn't have murdered our squad." The elite said. He slowly got up. The elite led the group, Trimboli and Evans on either side of it and the chief behind it should the elite try anything. The elite stopped. They all stopped. It walked up to a door and opened it.
The marines followed it into what appeared to be a covenant weapons room. The elite picked up to plasma rifles. The marines aimed at it as it turned to them. But the elite never opened fire. It simply walked back out of the room again. They looked at each other, shrugged and followed it.
" Don't worry, I'm not interested in killing you. As of now, we're allies. I will not survive without your help, and without mine, you wont get far." The elite said to the marines. " Well, since we aren't trying to kill each other, what's your name?" Trimboli asked the elite.
" Minjohj'arad is my name." The elite replied. " Cool, I'm Mathew Trimboli, or Matt for short." The marine said to the creature. " I'm Tony Evans. " The other marine replied. " And the cyborg here doesn't really have a name, so we call him by his rank of Master Chief." Mathew said to it.
They went into a large room with many doors. They stood there for a moment thinking of which door to choose. Suddenly, one of the doors was rammed by something on the other side. They all levered their weapons to that door, all of them sweating. The door flew open.
Hundreds of small, tentacled sphere shaped creatures emerged. The marines and the Elite wasted no time. They opened fire, a thick layer of bullets and plasma raced towards the creatures. They killed most of them. Then something else emerged.
It was tan in color, dismembered and had one arm, tentacles where the other would be. It held a human machine gun in its on arm. It opened fire. Trimboli and Minjohj'arad dived behind an over-turned crate for cover. The chief and Evans hid behind some covenant energy shield.
They all opened fire on it. It jerked back from the bullets, its green blood spraying everywhere as it fell over dead. More emerged, some of them missing limbs, others with rips in them. Matt and Minjohj'arad reached for some dead jackals shields.
They activated them, pulling back and firing at the beats' as the creatures weapons either missed, bounced off the shield, or slightly depleted it. The master chief and Evans ran out of the room being protected by the shields. Then Trimboli and Minjohj'arad backed out of the room firing.
Matt locked the door and made several layers of titanium barricade doors block it, making escape for those creatures impossible. " What the hell did we just fight?!" Evans shouted." I do not know." Minjohj'arad replied to the marine. " We have to get out of here!" Trimboli exclaimed. " We must find the others first." The master chief told them.
Meanwhile, Justin Anderson was alone, wandering through the halls with his shotgun flung over his shoulder. He whistled as he walked up to a door, not knowing what is on the other side. He opened the door. In the room where three of the zombie like creatures eating a jackal. They looked up at him. He looked back. Quickly he shut the door and jammed it, then pushed several large crates in the way.
He then turned his back to a wall, breathing heavily, his heart pounding very fast. He then turned and ran down the hall. He made a sharp turn and ran straight into Trimboli, they both fell to the ground.
" Jesus Justin, watch where you're going!" Matt scolded. " I'm sorry, I was running from, uhhh, I don't know what it is, but it aint friendly and I don't like it!" He told them. He looked at the elite. " You're letting him have a gun!!! Two even??? Are you nuts?" He exclaimed. " This elite is an ally, right now, we have more to worry about then covenant." The chief said. " You mean, those things?" He asked. " Yes, those things!" Matt scolded.
" Everyone but me was murdered brutally in he squad I was in, so I hid. Then these soldiers found me. As of now, we are friends." Minjohj'arad said. " Okay, then lets get the hell out of here!" Anderson pleaded.
Meanwhile, Vasques and Duke where wandering through a hall. They came to a door. Duke pressed the open button. The door swung open. His eyes widened in fear, as he stared at on of the creatures. Before he could react, it jabbed its razor sharp tentacles into his chest and out his back.
Blood started to ooze out of his mouth as the creature lifted him with its tentacle, Victoria frozen with fear. It violently jerked its tentacles and tore his upper body from the lower part. His top half hitting the ground blood and organs spilling from is upper torso. The creature flung his lower half away.
Vasques turned and ran as fast as she could. She turned the corner right into another creature as its tentacle swished past her neck, its sharp edge slitting her throat. She fell to the ground holding her neck, trying to gasp for air. She slowly closed her eyes for the last time as her neck continued to bleed.
