Chapter 5! Woo hoo!

The missile was flying through the headquarters, making Jackals and Elites dive for cover. It exploded on the wall, hurling chunks of debree across the room. We ran down a thin corridor, then another one and another one. And another one. I couldn't figure out how people could find their way around this place. We finally came out a door to another big room. It was the main headquarters room again.

'Great,' said Torbei.

I turned around and ran back down the hallway, taking the doorway that we didn't use before. It was the mountains around the Control Room, so I kept fleeing. I had to get as far away from these parasites as I could! I could hear Torbei and Rinyo's shouts behind me, but I didn't stop. All of the mountains looked the same, just rock, snow, rock, snow. It got annoying, because it was so cold. Just when I was about to stop running I had to. There was an enormous canyon in front of me. Pebbles bounced down the cliff face as I skidded to a halt. The pebbles rolled down to yet another battlefield, where the parasite, Covenant and humans were fighting. I could see a little Grunt dancing around and shooting his pistol aimlessly. I could also just make out what he said.

'I doing it! I'm shooting! I'm doing it! Yaaa-'

BOOM!

It wasn't pretty.

'Hey Grunty!' a voice yelled from behind me.

I fell forward, but Rinyo grabbed me. Then he fell forward, but Torbei grabbed him. Us together was too much for him to hold, so we all toppled off the cliff. We fell and fell and--

WE INTERRUPT THIS STORY JUST TO ANNOY YOU AND TO MAKE IT MORE SUSPENSFUL!

fell and fell. It didn't actually hurt much, judging by how far we fell. When we landed at the bottom, that battlefield I saw from the cliff was now empty. But I noticed a human on the other side, who was chanting something. I think it was this:

'Celebrate good times, come on! Da na-na-na na na na-na!'

I fired my pistol at him and killed him. Now we didn't know what to do. It must have taken a miracle for us to get saved. And that miracle happened. To our relief, a dropship flew over and picked us up. When we got in we couldn't stop thanking the Elites inside. That is, of course, until they threatened to fill us with plasma. The Elites also knew about the parasite, so they showed their plan for destroying it. A Specops Elite pulled up a table with a cloth over it.

'I will now reveal the master plan,' he said. 'It will make sure the parasite is destroyed, and won't come back.' The Elite pulled away the cloth, revealing a small action figure of a combat form. 'This will be my test subject, which I constructed myself. See? The arms move! And when I press this button, it uses a melee attack! Isn't it cool?'

Another Elite kicked his leg under the table and gave him a threatening look.

'Ow! Okay, back to the subject. I will now show you the master plan in action!'

The Elite took a deep breath and...hit the parasite toy with a mallet. Everyone looked at him blankly.

'Some plan!' I yelled, and threw a needle from a needler at him.

That was a bad move. But by astonishing coincidence it stuck on the plasma grenade he had on his armour, and detonated.

Thanks for all the reviews everyone!
