Halo Advanced-Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't (but I really wish I did) own the game Halo 2(I do, however, own a copy ) or any of the characters in the game. I do, however own Rellik, my character.

As Rellik landed on Cairo Staion, he began to wonder; What if this is a mistake? Why don't we just settle our differences? Why must we fight? It all reng through his head. He got so imeersed with himself he almost couldn't hear the Artbiter saying, "Is there....something wrong?"

Rellik raised his head and looked away. "Forget it. You probably wouldn't understand anyway."

The Arbiter gave a suprised look and said, "Are you sure? Please, tell me what's on your mind."

Rellik looked back at the Arbiter. "Woulndn't it be easier if we side with the Humans and crush the Brutes together?"

The Arbiter responded, "Well, we could do that... The Prophet Of Liberty only said "infiltrate". This could mean we are free to side with them."

Rellik looked at the Arbiter, saying, "Good point. Well, we'll need a plan."

The Arbiter grinned at Rellik. "OK, here's what we do..."

ooo

Once again, the Marine spoke into the speakerphone. "The Phantoms have boarded, and the troops are holding position just outside the door. Prepare to engage!"

The Master Chief picked up a Battle Rifle and walked toward the bay door.

The Marines all pointed their weapons in the same direction.

Johnson said, "As soon as that door opens, let 'em have it!" (A/n: I know, it's from the game, sue me....)

ooo

The two Elites finished making their plan. The Arbiter said, "So, sound good?"

Rellik responded, "Yeah. Just one thing.... I'd like to go this one alone."

The Arbiter gave a suprised look, then said, "Sure. This one's all yours."

Rellik said, "Thanks. Remember, you can still sneak up behind them and follow through with the plan."

The Arbiter got back into one of the Phantoms, saying, " Thanks. I'll keep that in mind."

ooo

The door exploded, sending bits of shrapnel everywhere. The only thing the Master Chief could hear was the hail of bullets, the pained cries of the Covenant, and the hollering of his fellow Marines.

One of the Marines noticed something strange. "Hey, one of them is retreating!"

The Master Chief saw an Elite in golden armor trying to retreat. The Elite shot a Carbine round at the same Marine who noticed him. He fell over, groaning in pain.

After the long battle was over, few survived. He looked at the Marine he saw earlier and said, "You owe me five bucks."

ooo

" But what about our orders?"

The Arbiter leered at him and said, "I'm following orders. I'm just....following them in a special way."

The Elite commandeer gave him a wierd look and said, "OK.....you're the boss.....Just...What is it that you have planned?"

The Arbiter looked at him and said, "We're going to side with the humans."

The Elite was completely blown away. "WHAT?!?!?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!?!"

The Arbiter looked at him strangely and responded, "No. I'm the Aribter. Nice to meet you."

The Elite gave him a strange look before he realized it was a joke. "Ha, ha....Very funny. So, why are you going to the back of the station?"

The Arbiter responeded, "I'm going to see if I can find a certain human. You see, he will recognise me when we see each other."

The Phantom landed, and the Arbiter jumped out. The Arbiter's radio started picking up a signal. Th voice was garbled , but it soon fixed itself. "Arbiter! Arbiter, are you there? This is Rellik. I'm in position. Tell me when."

The Arbiter responded, "That is good, Rellik..I am about to met the humans. I will tell you when I'm ready in code so you know it's me."

Rellik responded, "How will I know?"

The Arbiter said, "You'll know when I have compromised our little peace treaty."

Rellik said, "OK. Over and out."
