Halo
Chapter 3
The group was now on its way to Lockout to investigate an attack. They didn't know what attacked the base, how badly they attacked the base, or even if they were still there. All they knew was it was not good. "When will we arrive?" said Possum. "We should be arriving in a few minutes," said Master Chief.
They reached this huge blue science facility. It was frozen over. There was no sign of life. They finally landed. They opened the door of the Pelican. A loud hiss of air erupted out of the Pelican. "Where is every one?" Said Possum. "Most likely dead," said DeathA.
They started to explore the facility. "What the…" DarkDeath said. "What is it," said Possum. "Dead bodies… Everywhere… And they're not human." DarkDeath said. "Could this be the Flood that the marine in Coagulation was talking about?" Asked Possum. "Might be." Said DeathA. "Lets scout some more," said Spartan 117. They scouted a little farther, and then went up some stairs. They came across a laboratory. In the laboratory, it had many big containers. "What are they?" Asked Possum. Whack! "How the Hell should we know! We just got here!" DeathA yelled. They examined the big container some more. "Quiet, I think something is in this container," They checked the container with caution. They saw something squirm inside of it. Then more of them squirmed. The container began to shake. "What the Hell is in there!" DarkDeath yelled. "I don't know, but I'm not going to let them get out alive!" Possum exclaimed. He pulled out his shotgun, and blew the container to bits and pieces. But he didn't even kill one of the creatures. "You let them out! You fool!" Spartan117 yelled. "Good going!" yelled DarkDeath. "What did you do that for?" Whack! DeathA hit Possum. "Jesus Christ! They're everywhere. It's the Flood!"
The Flood started crawling over the walls, and around the floor. "Don't let them touch you!" yelled DeathA. "Fire at will men!" yelled Master Chief. Possum started shooting with his shotgun, killing the entire Flood that came near. DeathA took out a Magnum, and shot at a flood that leaped towards his face. DarkDeath took out his SMG and obliterated the Flood near him. The remaining Flood broke open the rest of the containers. "Retreat!" yelled Master Chief. They ran out of the room, and ran down the stars. They ran across the whole facility.
They reached a small room. "Is everyone all right?" Master Chief asked. Everyone nodded. "Good". Master Chief then started radioing for help. He finally reached base, and called for reinforcements. He gave them their coordinates. "They should be here in 10 minutes," said Master Chief. " Ten minutes? We don't have 10 minutes! Did you see those things?" Possum said. "Yes, I know. But it's the only way we can possible survive. If we go out there, its death for sure," Spartan117 said. "So we wait," said DeathA.
As they waited for the arrival of their backup, they knew the flood was out there looking for them. Then they started hearing thumping sounds. Thump! Thump! Thump! It started getting louder. "Get ready men!" Spartan117 said. "They're coming!" Yelled possum. Boom! Boom! Boom! The flood started slamming against the door. Then they heard a loud blast of air. "They're here!" Yelled 0blepf. "Our backup has arrived!" Then all of a sudden, they heard a loud blast, and smoked covered the entryway. They all walked backwards, and then there was a shadow. They raised their weapons. It was another Spartan. His name was Sergeant Chainsaw, and he had a group of marines with him. "Lets move!" He yelled. They followed him through the path of smoke. The flood started jumping after them. The flood got closer and closer. One flood leaped out, and attached itself to a marine. The marine fell. He started shaking on the ground. Then he started to change. He became a Warrior Flood. "That's what those things do? Don't let them touch you!" 0blepf yelled. "Oh, ok, thanks for telling me, I was planning on walking over and saying hi to them!" Yelled possum.
The flood started picking off more marines. And that made more Warrior Flood. They reached the Pelican. They were about to enter it, but then started to fall back when they realized it was covered in the flood. They ran to the edge. They were surrounding them. "What are we going to do!" yelled DarkDeath. "Fight…" Said 0blepf.
