Chapter two: We're going
Back to Reach
The lights dimmed in Lt. Hanks and Lt. Kickers quarters. Kicker lied down on his cot and noticed that Hanks was on Fleetcom. Kicker asked him whom he was talking to. Hanks looked over his shoulder half way and said the Chief. "What'd he say?" asked Kicker. "He said all helljumper units are leaving with him tomorrow at 7:00 p.m." Replied Hanks.
"Oh." Muttered Kicker under his breath. Kicker remembered what had happened at Reach. He always regretted leaving the Chiefs Spartans on Reach but he was wounded by a plasma pistol shot to the leg. So he was dragged back to a Pelican dropship. "He said he wants us down in training course 5 for level 7 training. So get ready." Hanks said. Kicker really didn't pay attention to what he had just said so he put on his battle uniform and went.
Kicker started off another chat on the way down to the training course. But this time he was serious. Kicker always feared going back to Reach after what happened. "Do you really think we should be going? Maybe we should just get a transfer to a different station or something?" Stuttered Kicker. Hanks thought about this weird sudden question and said no. Kicker took a deep breath and sighed.
The two entered the training course. They saw John and many other helljumers. Standing on top of a pillar was John aiming a Covenant plasma rifle at Kicker. Kicker got a puzzled look on his face. He then got what was going on. He put on his helmet and dove to the right. John had started firing on him.
