Finally, I never thought I would write chapter 10, but I did. I'm so proud of myself. Anyway, I don't think this one was great. I didn't like the last one that much either. I hope you think differently, cuz I don't want to be the author of a sucky story. If you dare, read the chapter and review later. Thanks to all those who reviewed!

After locking her helmet into place, Linda raises her sniper rifle and aims at her enemies. She fires at one of the elites and easily penetrates its skull. The bullet rips through the other side of its head and lodges into the head of another elite behind it. The remaining forces gasp in horror as they watch the two bodies fall limp on the metal floor. They point their weapons towards the two Spartans and immediately open fire.
Knowing that Linda won't be able to dodge the incoming fire, Master Chief jumps in front of her and shields her using his body. "Linda, you can't fight like this. Go hide somewhere, now!"
"I want to fight, John. I'm staying here," she says coldly.
With no time to argue, Master Chief spins around and shoots into the crowd of aliens. He hears a warning alarm inside his helmet signaling that his shield is low, and hides behind a cargo crate. Linda does the same, taking shelter from the scorching plasma and razor-sharp needles. The ringing sound of the needles ricocheting off the steel echoes through the air as Master Chief impatiently waits for his shield to recharge. Linda reloads her sniper rifle and then looks at him. "They aren't that tough. This'll only take a few seconds," she remarks sarcastically. Master Chief just ignores the comment and continues waiting.
They are both taken by surprise when an elite jumps over the crate and lands in front of them. Wielding two plasma rifles, he begins to shoot at the two soldiers, hitting each of them with accuracy. Without hesitation, Linda empties her entire magazine of sniper bullets into the chest of the elite, tearing its armor and shield to shreds. Linda just smiles at Master Chief as their enemy collapses into a puddle of its own blood. He exchanges his weapon for the two plasma rifles and jumps out from behind the crate.
Picking up two plasma rifles he found on the ground, Master Chief rolls out from behind the wall and begins to fire at the brutes. One of the guns overheats, taking him by surprise, and slightly burning his left hand. He pays no attention to the pain as he continues to slaughter the ape-like foes. Kelly soon follows him from behind the wall and runs to catch up with her squad leader. "Don't worry John, I don't die easy," she says while reloading her shotgun.
"Don't worry Linda, I don't die easy." Master Chief fires the plasma bolts at the grunts, easily burning a small path through the group. He jumps into the air to evade their shots and returns fire on them, again killing more of the enemy. In mid-air, he turns around to find one of the grunts shooting at Linda. At the time, she was too busy reloading her sniper rifle to protect herself. So, to save his teammate, Master Chief shoots one of his plasma rifles at Linda's threat, and continues his killing spree with the other. Within seconds, there were no aliens left to challenge the two Spartans.
"You okay?" asks Master Chief.
"I've been better…" replies Linda.
"Let's go, I'm bringing you to the infirmary," he commands.
Unwillingly, Linda lifts herself off the ground and limps over to Master Chief. He throws her right arm over his shoulder and helps her out of the Landing Bay. With their weapons at the ready, the two Spartans make their way down the steel-plated corridors of the Mohican. They reach the infirmary with barely any conflict and the head medical officer confronts them as they enter through the doorway.
"Lakewood, she's got a plasma burn on her leg. I already filled it with some bio-foam, but it needs some more attention. Radio me when she's healed, I'm going back out there," states Master Chief.
"Yes, sir," says Colonel Lakewood as he salutes Master Chief. He takes Linda's arm off of the soldier's shoulder and wraps it around his own. He takes her into the medical cryo-room and places her into one of the cryo-tubes. "Just relax. This won't hurt."
::Good luck, Master Chief:: says Linda before she falls asleep.
With this, Master Chief takes off down the hallways of the command-ship gunning down any opposition in his way. Upon reaching the MAC firing station, he reaches into his helmet and pulls the AI chip out, then inserting it into the computer. "What was that for?" asks Cortana.
"Just believe me, I have a plan."
'He always has a plan.' She just shakes her head and sighs.
The doors to the MAC firing station explode inward, to reveal four brutes charging into the room. Picking up the closest weapons, the marines begin to defend there station. Master Chief joins the fight, starting on the front two opponents. With all of the combined fire, one of the brutes was killed quickly, leaving only three to fight. Carbine, plasma, and brute grenades are fired into the station, killing two of the marines and slightly damaging the equipment.
Master Chief throws a plasma grenade at the brute in the back, and manages to stick it. The brute's body parts are thrown throughout the station as the grenade explodes. The other brute is taken by surprise, and is also killed by the explosion. The marines were able to handle the final brute and afterwards got back to their positions.
Pushing the severed arm off of the keyboard, Master Chief looks back at Cortana. "That was disgusting," she says to him. "So, that plan of yours…"
He begins to type some sort of code into the computer. "Listen closely, here's what I need you to do."
