I am so sorry for not updating sooner...life,school, and other stuff. Hey I have a life.
Chapter 3 "Well I'll be a Monkey's Uncle."
The Flamingo had gotten on to the Earth's surface...and was near the detected destination. Master Chief was checking his weapons for any flaws, or reloaded ammo.
Johnson was in the cockpit with the pilots, and the Marines where seated, waiting to get off the ship.
"Sir...2 minutes before arrival." One off the Pilots said.
"You hear that Marines?! 2 minutes! Check your weapons and armor...because there will be no bathroom breaks on this mission! Any questions?"
"I got one."
"What is it Delton?" Johnson asked.
"What exactly are we looking for? And how long will we be staying?"
Cortana answered for Johnson,"We'll be staying for 2 days maximum. This is a search and rescue mission. Whoever and whatever we find will depend if we stay longer or not. When we arrive, look for any signs of other marines. If you find anything, contact Master Chief or Sergeant Johnson. Understand?"
"Sir yes sir!" replied Delton enthusiastically.
"Alright marines...we're here." Johnson announced.
The Flamingo's back entrance opened up to a snowy landscape. Master Chief, Johnson, and the Marines headed out, clearing the landing zone.
"Hold your positions!" Johnson ordered.
Master Chief was looking around the camp site in which they landed.
"Yep...there was definatly signs of activity here." Cortana said.
"Cortana, this is Miranda Keyes, what are you seeing?" she asked.
"The camp site is in total ruin. It looks like there used to be Mining of some sort. From what I can tell there was a huge attack...in which many did not survive." explained Cortana.
"Search the area Marines!" Johnson again ordered.
The marines dispersed through the camp site, Master Chief was with Johnson on one side, the Marines on another.
"Look at this mess Chief." Johnson sighed. He was referring to 3 dead bodies, with opened up holes through their stomachs. It was a bloody site.
"What kind of sick bastard would do such a massacre?" Johnson said.
Cortana replied,"It looks like something came out of the stomach, meaning they where killed through the inside of their bodies."
"Sarge! Come look at this!" One of the Marines shouted. Master Chief and Johnson ran to meet with the other marines. When they arrived, they saw something interesting.
"A hole in the ground!" Johnson exclaimed.
Master Chief and Johnson looked into the hole. It looked to stretchthousands of feet underground. It was dark, so Master Chief turned on his light to look more downward. It was no use...they could not make out of what was down there.
"Alright...who's going down there?" Johnson asked, "Tagle?"
"No way sir."
"Harbor?"
"That goes for miles and miles! I'm not going down there."
"Benford?!"
"You must be crazy sir..I'm not going."
"Sanders?!?!"
"No way in hell sir."
"Is there anyone here who aren't chicken enough to go do-"
Master Chief suddenly went in the hole and slided down. With his light on, he could now see a little bit better as he got farther down.
He finally arrived, with his Battle Rifle aimed, he looked around to find a huge surprise.
"Uhh...Sergeant...I think you may want to come down here...." Cortana said.
With that, Johnson and the Marines tagged along ropes in the edges of thehole so they wouldn't go down as hard. They slided down...with bumps along the way.
"w-w-h-a-t-t a-a b-b-u-m-m-p-p-yr-r-i-d-d-e!" shouted Harbor.
When they arrived...Johnson knew what Cortana was talking about.
"Holy Mother of God." Johnson said.
"Cortana...what did you find?" asked Miranda Keyes through the communicator.
"It's a pyramid, Admiral." Cortana said softly.
"A pyramid?!" exclaimed Miranda.
"Yes...a Pyramid..one of the last ones I suppose." Cortana replied.
"Sergeant...do you still want to continue?" Miranda asked.
"We've literally come way too far to come back...we're going in." replied Johnson.
"Understood Sarge...report anything that you find. Miranda out."
The Marines, Johnson, and Master Chief made there way to find an entrance to the pyramid.
