Chapter 3: Will you be mine?
//MJOLNIR Battle System Diagnostic //: Complete
It had been three months since Karen got the armor. Nothing had changed much. She grew three inches, mostly due to the enhancements, she was now 5' 7" with one more predicted growth. She was still, if not more, despised by the squad.
"Watch out!" yelled Nephritis. Blue streaks were piercing the darkness of the Thandon night. "Got it." Karen fired short bursts from her Battle Rifle in to the approximate direction of the shots. She saw what she wanted. The flare of an Elite's shield was visible to all. Immediately thirty more Battle Rifles rattled at the Elite. "No life signs, he's dead Karen. Good job." "Thanks Nephritis," replied Karen. Then in a flash the surroundings flashed and disappeared around Karen. The master chief walked through a door nodding his head in improvement. "Good, you showed you could handle an Elite. The tactics you used were perfect having a 'spotter' is good. Also," turning to Karen, "You have an AI with you. Let's see how you fare with this." Instantly two Elites pooped up along with three Jackals and five Grunts. "Let's see how you'll do," the chief said with a hint of amusement in his voice. The ten figures disappeared going to their positions in the simulation. A horn sounded signaling the start. Immediately the five Grunts came charging out of the darkness. Karen along with eight others instantaneously pumped them full of lead. In the background three plasma shields flared up. The Jackals were coming. "They'll be harder," she called. One of the Jackals decided to charge-up his plasma pistol. "Fire a rocket Brian!" Two seconds later the tell tale Thump! Of a rocket launching was heard. The rocket was aimed at the middle Jackal so as to do the most damage to them. When the rocket hit a huge flash went up along with dirt going fifteen feet in the air. The one charging-up was dead along with the middle one. The one on the left was mortally wounded but managed to shoot at an exposed Spartan 'killing' him instantly. Minutes went by but the Elites never came out of cover. "AAAAHHHH!!" Karen heard squad member scream and turned to see that the two Elites had flanked them and came from behind. Blue streaks started hitting other members of the squad that were closest to the Elites. Before Karen was hit she saw one Elite pull out a plasma grenade and ignite it.
It was over all of the squad was 'killed' with one Elite still standing unharmed. "You did well seeing as that was the first Covenant basic assault squad you had ever seen." Moans of disagreement were heard from almost all of them. "Don't worry. we're done for today." Sighs of relief came from the squad as the under suits were reactivated. As Karen was leaving the simulator she heard somebody call out her name. "Karen wait, Karen!" She turned around to see that it was Brian, the rocket launcher of the squad. "Huh?!" she replied. "I want to ask you something." "What is it?" "Uh. do you. um." "Spit it out," she said bluntly. "Do you have a boyfriend?!!!" he blurted out. All nearby turned to see if what they heard was true. A popular person like Brian asking Karen to be his girlfriend? Nah, couldn't be they thought. Karen was taken back. She was pretty, very pretty actually, but who in their right mind would want to ask her out. "Huh?" was all that she could muster. "You heard me," he gathered his strength and asked again "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No, of course not," she replied. "Well I want you to be mine." "I don't-" "I want take no for an answer." The blond hair, sun tanned boy had a small smirk across his face. "A-Are you sure?" she replied "Yeah of course." Brian stepped forward and took her hand. It wasn't very romantic with the armor gloves but it was already farther than she had ever gotten into a relationship.
