Chapter 4-The Damaged Soldier and the Base
The man stuck on the spike was breathing and trying to speak. Corbin walked up to the impaled man and said "Can you hear and see me?" the man nodded, looking at Corbin with a pale, blood drained face. He was struggling to say something but couldn't. Rob felt sorrow and remorse for the man, the rest of his team just left him there to die a very painful death. "Donald, come here." Taylor said with a faint whisper, making the team jump. Taylor had never shown feelings for other people. It seems that Taylor had changed since Leon's death. "Yeah what do you nee…"Donald saw the man laying there. Donald started to cry. He had never seen something so horrible. He knew that the covenant were evil beings, but he never thought they would do this. This was all to much for him. Donald could not hold back his psychic power anymore. Donald fell to the ground, crying, a huge black aura forming around him. He started remembering of the time he was captured by the covenant. He remembered being in a room, with no walls or windows just nothing…Blank. Donald found a way out of the room, bumping into a grunt. The grunt didn't say anything or do anything.
Donald noticed, that the grunt, was…frozen. What type of covenant species would be able to freeze other beings? "Guys, come here, I found something" Donald said, putting force behind his voice. The team walked to where Donald was standing, and noticed that there was a grunt, that remarkably, wasn't moving or speaking, all it was doing was moving its eyes around. "What the hell is up with this grunt?" Corbin asked, with great puzzlement in his voice. How could something be transfixed, or frozen like this? The covenant, although advance in technology, wasn't able to do this. "I don't know, I just stumbled upon this grunt, and it froze." Donald remarked, with great frustration in his voice.
"It's the flood." Taylor whispered. He remembered, when he had been attacked by the flood about a year ago, that they had the power to…somewhat freeze living things. "How do you know this?" Rob said, with the utmost annoyance, for Rob was always the smartest. "I was attacked by the flood a while back, they had a power to freeze living stuff. hats why I think that this covenant base sent so many men here, because the flood had invaded them." Taylor leaked out so fast, that he had to repeat for the team again.
"I think we should keep moving." Corbin gasped, not wanting to think that the flood was here. The team continued into the next room, running into a full frontal attack, for the covenant were fighting the flood. "What are we going to do?" Donald questioned, thinking what the whole team was thinking. "We should help the covenant." Taylor retorted, with a great reluctance. Taylor thought that if they helped out the covenant, that the covenant, would possibly help them out. "I agree with Taylor" Robert said.
The team launched themselves in battle. Taylor saw a energy sword laying next to a dead elite, so he took it. He ran towards a giant mushroom looking flood, and sliced it in half, greenish-grey blood spewing out of the being. The being exploded. "I got you" Donald said, jumping in front of Taylor, putting an aura around the both of them. Corbin was sniping flood in from up a higher level of the room. He shot a flood with tentacles right in the head, watching blood splatter the walls behind it. He saw pieces of brain on the floor, It made him feel like he was at home. Rob went into the furor of the battle, with a brute shot, blowing up a team of flood, watching bloody pieces of brain, and organs flying every where. "Now that's what I call over-kill!" Rob yelled, laughing. Donald went to the right side of the room, were a group of grunts and a few elites were being over run by flood. He telekinesis the covenant out of the way, and sent psionic spikes at the flood, watching them get impaled, seeing blood seep out of the middles of the flood. The covenant forced looked at Donald, and turned to fight the flood.
"BAM!" a door from the far part of the room busted open, giving entrance to about ten brutes. They came in and started ripping heads off of the flood, left and right. Behind them, was a elite looking figure, suiting silver armor, and carrying a energy sword. He started to slice the bodies of flood, in half, watching blood squirt from the middle of the beings. The team joined together, in a square, and started shooting flood, in all four directions. It started to seem that they were being over run flood, when a unearthly noise sounded through the base, and as soon as the flood came, they left.
"What the hell?" Rob shouted, wondering what the hell just happened. He looked around, and saw greenish-gray blood splattered just about everywhere in the room. Among the blood, there were fallen elites, grunts,and three brutes. The covenant forces in the room, looked at the team…wondering what they should do.
"Prophet, what should we do?" A little grunt squeaked out. That was exactly what the team was thinking. Donald thought to himself that if they did not join them, that he would have no problem taking them out. "You Spartans," The prophet pointed at the team, "You have helped us in a great time of need," The prophet continued, "We need your help in the future." The prophet said. "Thank you, will you join us, or should I say, can we join you?" The prophet asked, with great wisdom. It seemed that Taylor's plan worked.
"We accept your alliance, good to have you aboard." Taylor said, with a giant smile on his face. This seemed like a beginning alliance with the covenant forces. This meant, that we could kill the flood. The flood, looked like they are going to take over the universe.
"We should move on" The prophet commanded, watching the small force of covenant get in a order for him. "We wish you to lead us,Spartans" The biggest brute shouted in the group. The team soon felt themselves glad to have such force on there side. "Yes, lead us Spartans, it would be a great honor." The prophet whispered.
The team lead the force into the next level of the base, to find that the room had been splattered in covenant forces. In the middle of the room, stood a great beast, blood flowing from its mouth.
