okay, here's the 1st chapter. ENJOY!
blibity blah, blah. I don't own Halo.
Spacefan: Glad you like it! Thanks for pointing that out. I should have put in more about how independent she was and how the Hunter was impressed. Your thinking was correct. I hope you keep reading!
B.R. Wells: Well, yeah, it should have killed her, but... If she got killed then we wouldn't have a story, now would we? As the author, I do have the right to kill or not kill characters. Not that I'm trying to make a 7 year old invincible. And I made her use an MA2B Assault riffle just because that's smaller than the MA5B. Thanks for pointing that stuff out in your review and I hope you keep reading!
writer51: Maybe. Maybe not. :P You'll see sooner or later. Thanks for reviewing and I hope you keep reading!
Kulatu: Thank ye!
Shane1080: Thank you! I will!
NSA-Trooper: Did you die? I hope not. Sorry for any long wait.
Many Years Later
Captain Jacob Keyes sat in a cell of the Covenant ship, the Truth and Reconciliation. A number of covenant guards stood near the door, two Elites in cloak armor and another in a stronger, gold armor. That one held a plasma sword. A few grunts stood in front of the main door to the brig, and a hunter stood in the very back. Next to it, sat a woman. Captain Keyes was most surprised to see this. The Covenant didn't seem to have a problem with her, besides the fact that she was under constant watch. A traitor? Keyes wasn't sure. She seemed vaguely familiar, as if he'd seen her before, only when she was younger. But he couldn't remember where or when. And more importantly, who she was.
The hunter she sat near stepped off the platform and walked the length of the room, talking to one of the cloaked Elites. Glancing around the room, the woman stood and began to hit buttons on the hologram keypad to open the cells. The shields slowly began to disappear and the Marines all tried to run.
The gold Elite ran over, shoving the woman aside and quickly reactivated the cell shields. It turned and stared down at the woman, who calmly stood and brushed herself off, not making eye contact with the Elite. The hunter strode over and said something to the elite and it walked off. The hunter then turned to the woman, who looked him in the eye and didn't say anything. It opened its mouth to tell her off when the door opened. All guns turned to the door. It was another hunter.
"Yentam, you and the girl. Come on. There are human forces in the gravity lift room." it said in its odd language. The hunter, Yentam, gave the woman a warning look and walked out. The woman followed, glancing back at the gold armored Elite. They sneered at each other for a moment, then the woman disappeared down the hall.
"Find yourself a cloak suit." Yentam ordered as they entered the armory. The woman took a suit of armor, a different size than the others, off the racks and fit herself inside. She pulled a helmet over her head tucking her hair inside. The helmet was designed to look like the head of an Elite, but she had never really worn the armor. She had really never fought anything but robots and probes and remote controlled Ghosts and Banshees. The Covenant had taught and trained her for her whole life this way. And even though they knew that she knew if she tried to go against them, she was dead, they still watched her constantly.
The three exited the armory and made their way through the ship. The hunters stopped at a blast door, both of them eyeing her warily.
"If we have to go in there, then it must be getting hot. We've sent multiple cloaked Elites already, and they haven't answered back. So you may be spotted. Find a place to hide and shoot what you can." Yentam instructed. The woman nodded, then disappeared as she activated the cloaking device. The other hunter pressed a few buttons on the blast door and unlocked the door. It opened immediately and the hunters rushed in.
Assault riffle bullets sprayed their direction and the woman quickly dodged away. She pulled herself onto a Covenant crate and scanned the room. She aimed her plasma riffle and shot. The hunter was barely damaged. She pulled the firing mechanism again repeatedly, the Marines and a man in a green armored suit also firing upon the hunter.
From the side, Yentam tackled the crate, sending the woman sprawling. She immediately jumped to her feet and hurtled a plasma grenade at Yentam, which stuck to his shield. The hunter barely felt the heat as he charged at the woman, the plasma in his gun charging at a dangerous level.
Pinned up against the wall, the woman kept shooting. Yentam released the charged plasma and she quickly ducked, flattening herself onto the floor. She glanced up at where she once stood, a small black crater burned into the wall. Scrambling to her feet, she ran and passed a Marine, grabbing his assault riffle from him. She hadn't held one of these in a long time. Tossing the nearly spent plasma riffle away, she turned and fired at the still charging Yentam.
From the side, the green armored person shot the hunter in the head with a sniper riffle at nearly point blank range. The hunter roared, then crumpled and landed with a hard thud on the ground. Relief washed over the woman. She shoved the assault riffle back into the surprised Marine's hands.
"Who's there?" he yelped. She let the cloaking device fall. The Marines all pointed their guns her way, but stopped as the one in the green armor, obviously the leader, held up a hand.
"Drop your weapons." he ordered. She tossed three plasma grenades to the side and the plasma pistol on her belt to the ground at his feet. "Now, who are you and what are you doing?"
"My name's Gina." she said, taking the helmet off. The Marines either all gasped or tried their best to conceal their surprise. "And I'm talking to you." she added. A couple of the Marines laughed, but stopped quickly as a darker man gave them looks.
"How'd you get here, soldier?" he asked, making Gina jump at the tone of his voice.
"I've been here so long, I can't remember." she replied. The man glanced over at the one in green.
"Cortana, Master Chief, what do you think?" he asked.
"Your guess is a good as mine, Sargent." the man replied. "Cortana?"
"How long have you been here, exactly?" a woman's voice asked, not answering either soldier. Gina thought for a moment, counting on her fingers.
"Thirty four years." she replied finally. Some of the Marines gaped, but shut their mouths again as the Sargent glared at them again.
"Do you have any idea where the brig might be?" the woman asked. Gina nodded.
"I was just in there. Are you looking for that Captain?" she asked. The Master Chief nodded.
"Lead us there, please." he said. Gina nodded, and turned the way she had came with the hunters. She led the Marines and the Chief down to a blast door. Typing a few commands into the control panel, Gina unlocked and opened it.
The hanger was mostly empty, except for a few Grunts and Jackals on the bottom and middle floor. The Marines barged in, recklessly destroying the surprised Covenant. They reminded Gina much of herself.
The Master Chief picked a few Jackals off of the middle floor with his sniper riffle. He watched Gina from the corner of his eye. She grabbed a Needler off a dead Grunt and led the Marines on through the ship. She seemed familiar, as if he knew her a long time ago, before his Spartan training. He pushed his thoughts aside as one of the Marines yelled, "Fire in the hole!" and tossed a grenade at two Jackal guards patrolling the hall.
"You know, we could easily find the brig without her help." Cortana pointed out to him.
"I realize that." the Chief replied, stepping over the dead Jackal's corpse.
"Then what exactly might you be doing?" Cortana asked in annoyance.
"I'm trying to figure out who the heck she is, what she's doing here, and who's side she's on." Master Chief replied, equally annoyed. The AI sighed in exasperation.
"We're getting close to the Captain's signal." Cortana announced over the Chief's external speakers. Gina held up a hand a peeked around a corner. She turned back to the Master Chief and Marines, reloading the Needler.
"It's around this corner. The door opens automatically to motion." she informed them. "There are two cloaked Elites and another one with a plasma sword. The grunts should be easy to take care of." She pulled her helmet over her head again, then disappeared. Master Chief watched her armor shimmer as she walked around the corner. His motion tracker showed a few red dots disappear as he heard the grunt's squeals and barks. Signaling with his hand, he and the Marines moved in.
Cloak armor shimmered in front of him as Gina rammed into one of the Elites. It hit the floor with a thud, its cloak armor disappearing. The Marines opened fire on the new target, the rounds of their assault weapons blasting holes through the Elite's head. A plasma grenade flew out of nowhere and stuck to something un-seeable. The Marines all opened fire on the gold elite, but the bullets pinged off the energy shield. The Master Chief tossed a frag grenade and the enemy's shields flickered and died. The Marines continued the spray of fire from all directions and the elite crumpled.
Gina's cloaking device fell again as she punched in commands on the holo-pad. The energy shields doors disappeared and a random captive Marine cheered.
"Who is this? Friend of yours?" the Captain asked as MC helped him up.
"We're not sure yet, sir." Cortana replied. "She has been a lot of help, actually."
"I see." the Captain replied. "Right now we have more important matters to attend to. While the Covenant had us locked up in here, I overheard the guards talking about the ring world. They call it Halo."
"Yes, that's right." Gina replied, tossing an inactive plasma grenade from one hand to the other. "They say whoever controls Halo, controls the fate of the universe."
"Exactly." Keyes replied. "We have to beat the Covenant to Halo's control room. That is our first priority."
"Then we shouldn't waist anymore time here." MC said, reloading his assault riffle. The rest of the group nodded, picking up random Covenant weapons as they ran out the door.
"Might I suggest staying behind me?" Gina spat, ramming into a Jackal guard, stopping it from firing upon one of the Marines who had gone ahead. The Marine blinked and didn't reply. "I'll take that as an okay."
Well, abrupt ending (sorta). and it's a little late. sorry. I thought I would have a whole lot more up because I have nothing to do for the next few weeks, but being bored sorta gave me a tiny bit of writer's block. but it's gone now. I smashed it with a hammer! tee hee. see ya next time! COOKIES FOR ALL REVIEWERS!!!! (NOTE: cookies are virtual and have no taste.)
