-This takes place in Halo 2, when the Covenant kill the Heretic Leader, and they get attacked by floods, In a Heretic Elite point of view.
The Heretic elite Swifter, was panting. He had been on the run for awhile now, trying to escape the Covenant elites and the flood. His carbine had only 10 shots left, so he was extremely worried. The robots were little help to the Heretic but their Sential beams were extremely useful against the flood. Swifter was clenching his carbine, he was in a corridor, Flood blood was spilled everywhere, and elite blood was there too.
A dead covenant warrior was sat in a corner an Flood planted on his face, plasma rifle in his hand and a energy sword at his side. Swifter picked up the energy sword and then picked up a sential beam that was in the corner.
He had to get out of there and to the drop ship or he would be flood prey. He happened to be in the infested laboratories, and fought off the first two waves of floods. But now he found that he was in no condition to fight more of the hellish creatures. The Covenant came first, like ghosts they used there camo, snuck in and killed everyone of his comrade elites.
Swifter met the brave covenant warrior, in a infested lab abandoned by the arbiter, probably because there was to many and the warrior told the arbiter to go on. Swifter came in and helped him and they formed a unexpected alliance. They held off the waves side by side until one hunter flood came in and slaughter his unexpected ally.
Swifter swore to avenge his Covenant friend. Swifter stood up put his carbine on his back and pulled out the beam. He headed up the corridor, took a left by a very gruesome scene of one of his own grunts with its head torn to pieces. Swifter pressed on until he reached a operation room.
A dead Spartan was in the operating bed his are green, and the paint peeling. His helmet said 104. He was Spartan 104. Swifter had heard about a Spartan that was called Master Chief, the Covenant called him the "Demon". Swifter pushed the button to enter the next room.
The door opened the sign said Hanger, Swifter entered the hanger, and saw his leader fighting off the Arbiter. Come on win! Swifter thought. Then the Arbiter acted swift and stabbed the real Leader killing him.
Swifter grew furious, and bellowed, the Arbiter looked up to where Swifter was standing, and pulled out a Beam Rifle. Swifter leaped down drawing his energy sword. The arbiter did the same.
" So heretic how does it feel to have death at your throat" Taunted The Arbiter. They circled each other like wolves.
"pretty damn good arbiter!" Swifter Growled
"oh really?" The arbiter said making his swift uppercut.
Swifter blocked it their swords clashed. The Arbiter did a back flip, and turned to find a covenant drop ship pulling into the hanger. He jumped to the top of the drop ship.
" I'll remember you heretic, have fun…" the Arbiter said throwing him a key card.
It was a banshee key card.
"good luck!" the Arbiter saluted flying off.
The doors busted, and the flood flooded into the room. Swifter clenched his teeth preparing for impact. He pulled out his beam, and readied himself for the biggest battle that he has ever fought.
