Chapter 2: Limit

Swifter burned the floods trying to flank him, and whacked the ones that got close enough to kill with the beam. He ran out of ammo for the beam, so he threw it at an flood knocking it back.

There were probably 120 in that hanger and he knew he had no chance of surviving the creatures. He whipped out the energy sword and slashed enemies that got close enough for him to swipe at. A flood swung its massive claw at Swifter, but swifter jumped to the side and impaled it as it ran at him.

The floods suddenly stopped attacking him when the number was down to 114, and instead they fought each other to the Heretic drop ship that Swifter's leader was going to escape in. Only 30 could fit in it but 20 clung to the sides. It flew off, 24 floods jumping at it and falling to their deaths. The floods took the drop ship and escaped.

The remaining forty came at swifter ready to tear him up. Swifter jumped back, to find a fuel rod cannon near his feat. He picked it up and used its last 5 shots on the flood advancing.
Only 14 flood were left. They charge and swifter did a tornado like spin and killed four in one swing. The other ten decided to slow down and advanced slowly.

Swifter threw a plasma grenade on the two middle blasting 6 of them down. 4 were left. Swifter slashed one in half and blocked a attempt the grab him from another. The claw was slashed in half. Then swifter finished the claw man with a stab through its ugly head. The last two ran at him and he did a back flip and then sliced the first, and then stabbed the second in the stomach, and then slashing the seconds head off. The first scratched him on the back leaving a bloody claw mark.

"ouch!" howled swifter turning around

The first one leaped at him, and swifter stuck out his sword in front of him impaling the flood warrior. Swifter kicked him of his sword and then slashed him multiple times, until he was dead.

Swifter sank to his knee's panting once more.

"brave one, you must bring the truth to the covenant and retrieve the oracle" croaked a voice. It was the heretic leader.

"Leader!" said Swifter trotting to the leaders body.

"bring this information to the covenant elites" said the leader handing him a data orb.

"it tells the truth about the great journey, but first get off this station the storm will knock it down in 10 hours so you must fly with an banshee before 7 hours or you will have no chance of surviving the storm, fly to the southern hanger and beat the flood to the last heretic drop ship!" said the leader blood dripping from his mouth.

"I will go now" said Swifter turning to the nearest door. Swifter entered the bloody corridor, and he began his long journey.
