Thanks for the reviews. And, as the last two installments, I don't own any of Halo. Bungie, and Eric Nylund do, though. The original characters, are, however mine. And I'm sorry for the words being combined sometimes, dunno what's going on, when I submit them they don't have that problem, at least I think. Any way, enjoy the third chapter.

The cruelty of the Marines and Helljumpers were unbearable. They were only children, but what they did to Sam. It wasn't excusable, they haven't even reached ten yet. The ones who did commit those acts were going to go through court martial procedures tomorrow. Halsey sighed and then heard a beeping sound, she turned to her monitor to see who was calling, it was Sargent Jack Foley. He opened his mouth to say something but she immediatley cut him off.

"Are the kids still alive?"

"Yes, as your aware, we were able to reduce the side-effects of the augmentations since the last time this was done. They have no memory of the incident today but their old memories remain intact. Michael is showing more enhanced reaction timing than the others and Sarah ended up being the most agile of the group. But Sam and Delano still seem normal. Well, except for the fact of how trusted Delano is. The group is gathered in the briefing room for when your ready to address them."

"Thank you, Jack. Tell them I will be with them shortly," she disconnected Foley and looked up at the ceiling. This time, she would tell them the truth, about their colony, their families. Maybe they would want vengeance for their families and friends, it was strong motivation, maybe not for the longest time, but it would do for a while. Besides, what choice did the four kids have, that's all they were despite their new augmentations. She shrugged off her thoughts and got up from her seat.

After a large gulp of the coffee that was on her seat she turned and walked out of her room. The whole three minute trip to the briefing room she thought of what to say to the new Spartans. The door to the briefing room slid open when she stood in front of it and she took her seat at the head of the table.

Delano stood up from his seat when she had took her own. He carefully looked her over and had became infuriated.

"Who do you think you are, Halsey? You can't just kidnap us!" Halsey looked down and sighed.

"Please, Delano, take your seat," he eyed her and slowly sat back down in his seat. She stood up and began to address them.

"You four people have been selected and been drafted for a special project called: Shadow Spear. Essentially, this is a new group of Spartans. The Spartan's, much like yourselves, went through physical and mental augmentations to become more deadly and efficient than even the Helljumpers, the roughest group in the Marines. In more large-scale situations you will be joining some of the Spartan's to accomplish a mission, or secure an area or person. Is there any questions so far?" Sam looked around the room and then back towards Halsey.

"Why us?" Sam spoke up. Halsey looked at him and answered his question.

"We're not sure how, but you four stick out among the crowd. You have the potential to become the four members of Shadow Spear that you will eventually be." Sarah raised her hand. "Yes, Sarah?"

"Why did you take us now, we're just kids, I mean?" Halsey sighed.

"Your colony was destroyed shortly after we had abducted you. We had received information on an enemy fleet nearing your home. So, we acted as fast as we could and obtained you." After it was said, the kids exchanged painful looks. They had a home there, had a family, a life. Now, they would have to start a new one, a life that was more painful. But, the people who destroyed that old life couldn't be forgiven. Delano arose from his seat.

"I'll do it," the rest looked at him and then they stood up in unison. They nodded at Delano and he smiled. "We'll all do it."

"That's good, your training starts tomorrow. Good luck, Shadow Spear." Halsey nodded and walked out of the room. Promptly after, the children were shown to their rooms. Tomorrow would be a hard day for all of them, but deep down, they knew it had to be done.

Newer chapters are going to take longer for me to put up, seeing as this was all I have from what I started a while back ago. I hope you liked it.
