The Profit

Everyone comes out of the base to meet a section of the resistance force.

"Sir the Arbiter is here," said a soldier.

"Who's the Arbiter?" asked Ulrich.

"He is the one that will lead us to victory over X.A.N.A." said the Elite.

"Maybe we should handle it," said Yumi.

"You handle X.A.N.A. that's absurd you're only children," said the Elite.

"Well those "children" just saved your behind from the flood," said Master Chief.

"Is this true?" asked the Arbiter as he stepped forward.

"Yes, it is true. If it wasn't for these humans then most of our forces would have been lost," said the Elite.

"Well then, come we have the profit in sight," said the Arbiter.

The soldiers from the base and outside merged and everyone walked off. The shuttle that the gang was in had completely submerged itself in the water. They walked for about an hour before coming upon a drop ship that had landed.

"In there," said the Arbiter.

"Are you sure?" asked an Elite.

"Yes, the Profit is in there," replied the Arbiter.

Everyone got their weapons ready and spread out. Slowly the group moved in on the ship. Then the Arbiter gave a signal and one of the Elite's ran into the ship. There was an eruption of gunfire and the Elite was thrown out of the ship. Another soldier ran to his aid.

"He's dead," said the soldier.

A black Elite on X.A.N.A.'s side came out of the ship and shoved its sword into the resistance Elite's back before it could get a shot off. Razor took aim and shot the Elite in the head with his assault rifle. The black Elite fell over but it wasn't dead yet. It slowly tried to get up. Yumi tossed a grenade and it fell next to him.

"Yumi you should wait until there's a group," said Ulrich.

"Just watch," said Yumi.

The black Elite saw the grenade and mustered up enough strength to stand and move away. This gave Razor a clear shot. This time the Elite fell over dead.

"Like I said just watch," said Yumi.

"Wait I thought you pulled the pin," said Ulrich.

"No, it's a remote detonated grenade," said Yumi.

Another signal was given and the group slowly moved in. Then another black Elite stepped out holding someone. He was bound and gagged, he also seemed dead.

"Any attempt to enter this ship will result in the death of this boy," said the Elite.

"Jeremy," said Odd in shock.

"That is Jeremy, said Yumi.

The Elite walked back to the entrance. Ulrich then ran at it and stuck his sword in the Elite's back. The Elite dropped Jeremy and whipped around. It picked Ulrich up by the throat and tossed him into the group. While the Elite was doing this Odd snuck up behind him.

"I wonder, do you know what it feels like to have your chest ripped out from behind?" asked Odd.

The Elite whips around and then Odd pulls the trigger on his shotgun. A loud bang rips through the air and the Elite falls over with a huge hole in his chest and green blood started to coat the ground.

"Why do these guys have to smell so bad when they die?" asked Odd as he plugged his nose.

"Odd you should look at yourself. You have green blood all over you," said Yumi.

Yumi went to Jeremy's side and Odd looked at his clothing.

"Aww, this is going to stain," said Odd.

"Anyone got an air freshener?" asked Tara as she came over to Odd.

Yumi had untied Jeremy and had him sitting against the wall.

"Jeremy, are you ok?" asked Yumi.

Jeremy didn't say anything. His eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow.

"He must have taken a pretty good beating," said Ulrich.

"Hey guys you should come take a look at this," said Z as she looked back at the others.

Some of the resistance forces moved in to see what Z was talking about. As soon as Z turned around she was hit by and energy blast and was thrown backwards.

"Z!" yelled Razor as he ran to her side.

Gunfire erupted from the resistance forces. When gunfire ceased they heard laughing. Then a figure came into view.

"Did you really think that you could kill me with those weapons," said the Profit.

No one said anything they just opened fire again. The profit put her hand up and all the bullets stopped and dropped to the floor.

"You are so foolish. The resistance will not survive with me alive," said the Profit.

"You will surrender to us," said the Arbiter.

"I think not Arbiter, I knew you were coming and I know what you are planning to do," said the Profit.

Back with Razor and the others.

"Z wake up, you have to," said Razor.

"I think what ever hit her stunned her," said Yumi.

"Well, you saw what they did, not a single bullet hit that floating person," said Tara.

Razor then stood up and grabbed his gun.

"Brother don't be stupid," said Tara.

"I'm not," said Razor as he cocked the gun.

"You know he reminds me of someone," said Yumi as she looked at Ulrich.

A wide smile spread across Ulrich's face. Razor on the other hand was aiming at the Profit from behind the group. He had a clear shot between two Elite's.

"You will not stop X.A.N.A. his plan is fool pro…BANG!

The profit stopped dead in her sentence. Everyone watched as the profits head blew off and her body fell out of the chair lifeless.

"Damn, now that's what I call a shot," said the Arbiter.

Then another soldier runs into the ship.

"Arbiter, the resistance army and X.A.N.A.'s have collided and request your assistance," said the soldier.

"Tell them we are on our way," said the Arbiter.

Since Jeremy and Z haven't awoken yet, two soldiers carry them. Everyone else keeps walking.
