Chapter 2
Rebel Covenant
Fallen Hero
The Elite walked around them, keeping them as still as a statue. Another three elites came out and armed with plasma rifles and one of them with a sword. "Do not worry, we will not harm you, but you must help us."
"We can't we have a…" Thomas' mouth was quickly covered by Lloyd's hand followed by a nod to the Elite's request.
"Very well follow me." As the Elite turned his back and walked forward into the Installation Lloyd signaled everyone to keep their mouth shut. The four elites and soldiers walked in and armed themselves. The strange elite led the group and the elites suddenly camouflaged.
"What the hell?" yelled Thomas.
"Do not fret, we are only invisible for a certain period of time." The elite pointed to Hoover. "You, the one with the long weapon. As my brothers and I attack you must defend us from long range, it is necessary." Hoover nodded and crouched into a position where he could aim into the room that was sealed by a door.
"What about us?" asked Lloyd.
"Stay here, we will need you three later." the elite answered. "Let us attack brothers." The elites moved in as the two-way sliding doors opened. The room was a tan color, and in it waited a bunch of grunts and jackals loyal to the Prophet. The elites slaughtered the grunts in combat. The jackals and their shields continued avoiding the elites. Hoover took them out with haste as the elites signaled the four to move in.
The elite walked towards Lloyd. "You must be the head of your team." Lloyd nodded. "I have something to show you. Are you familiar with the armor your chief wears?" asked the elite.
"I'm sorry, what chief?" asked Lloyd. He looked at the elite as if the elite was suspicious.
"The one you are on a quest for. They call him 'Master Chief'. We have found the Prophet's research stored in a computer and we were able to record it. We, the rebels were able to duplicate it, but it is not for us. From what I have seen, this armor can make a single man so powerful, but they must go through the grueling process of training. Our scientists have found ways to get around this and instantly plant the armor on a human being."
The four soldiers looked at the savage creature like he was crazy. "How the hell are you going to make us as strong as Master Chief in just a few seconds?" asked Lloyd.
"First of all you will not be as strong as Master Chief, and it will not take a few seconds. You may think we are just stupid low thinking aliens, but we do have some very useful knowledge. Please, let us commence, we must hurry." The elites and the soldiers went on and covered each other.
"I wonder what this guy really plans to do." whispered Hoover. He was talking to Raven, but Raven had stayed focused gripping his battle rifle, waiting for any surprise attack.
"I am wondering if out sergeant knows about this, and if we can get to where these things are taking us, alive." answered Raven. Hoover took his eye off of the spot he was supposed to cover everyone from. That was enough time for the Brutes to jump from the ceiling and attack them.
"Oh shit!" Hoover said as he looked back. He saw a Brute with a flag aiming at them ready to fire a shot. There were also another five waiting behind them with Plasma rifles.
"Spread everyone!" the elite commanded as the Brute shot from his weapon. The shot created an explosion as it hit the ground. "Defend yourselves!"
Hoover ran as fast as he could to take cover and snipe these bad boys out. Raven scoped in on a brute with a Plasma Rifle and fired on him. He kept shooting him in the chest but the brute would not let up. Suddenly, Thomas jumped in with the shotgun and shot the brute two times as it finally died. Raven looked at his battle rifle. "Damn, I wasted a whole clip on just one of these furry things." said Raven. Thomas pushed Raven out of the way and was sent flying about 15 feet back. Thomas let out a cry of pain.
It was a brute that launched Thomas across the room and it was closing in on Raven. Raven lay still on the floor not knowing what to do. Suddenly a shot was fired at the brute and it came from Hoover. The shot provoked the brute to look at Hoover and to tear his attention away from Raven. The elite with the sword swiped at him from behind which killed him. Raven asked, "What about the one with the flag?"
"Do not worry, I have taken him out." answered the elite. The other brutes were also dead but Thomas lay on the floor. Lloyd was no where to be found. The elite with a sword searched for him while the other two with the rifles looked on. He found him behind a box, hiding in fear. He snarled at Lloyd and said, "Coward."
"We have cleared the area, let us find the beacon in this room that will take us to our secret base." the head elite said quietly. They all went to the beacon and it transported them to a mysterious room.
While the soldiers were with the elites and completely separated from their mission, Master Chief lay in a small room sealed off by a Plasma shield. He was to stay there for as long as the guards were ordered for him to stay. Little did Chief nor the soldiers, Lloyd, Thomas, Raven, and Hoover know they were in the same installation, with their fates about to intervene with each other.
