TERMINATED
A/N-I'm hoping to make each chapter longer as I go, because I relies their pretty short.
"Chief, Chief, wake up Chief."
Master Chief slowly got to his feet and looked around.
"Where are we?" he asked
"In some sort of force cage" Cortana replied.
"How long have I been out?"
"Not sure, at least a couple of hours."
Just then the captain of the Adelaide walked through the sliding doors in front of Master Chief.
"So, I trust our accommodations are fitting for you?" he said in a mocking voice.
Master Chief just stared at him.
"Not much of a talker I see. Well, you see, I have been instructed to terminate you, but I'd hate to make a mess, so instead I'm going to use a method I like to call Albuteral. Its never been tried before, so you'll be the first. You should be honored. We will release clouds of gases into a small room with you. These gases will slowly rip apart every molecule in your cyber-body or whatever you want to call it, literally rendering you into thin air. No mess for us to clean up."
The captain eyed him curiously waiting for a reply. When it didn't come he simply turned around and started to march off.
"Oh, and one more thing, we are testing it on you because we need to make sure it works before we bring it into full scale battle."
Master Chief looked up at him and simply said, "Battle?"
"Yes, we are going to attack this Sideras 2 of yours. We have more then enough men to take out this space station, but a whole planet? Impossible, it could take years to finally rid the planet of your scum, and far too many men. This way we can just bomb the planet with Albuteral and get it over with. Plus it will be nice and clean when we take over. Take him away."
The force cage hovered off the ground and proceeded down a series of hallways until it stopped in a small room. Master Chief saw the blast doors he came through shut and then the force cage deactivated. He looked around and took in his surroundings. He was in a small oval room with windows along the sides. He could see stands through the windows. They were going to make a show out of it, either that or so the superiors of the Covenant army could see if Albuteral worked for themselves.
He could see the captain leading some Brutes to a place to sit. He didn't look very happy about it. Then a voice came over the intercom.
"You ready to die Spartan?"
"Always ready" he replied
"Ya? Well we'll see about that.
Master Chief looked around and saw that gas was starting to fill the room. He looked up and saw a vent above his head. He figured it was used to vent the gas out of the room. The room was filing up with gas and it was starting to eat away at his armor. He reached up and pulled it open and jumped up.
The captain put on glasses specially designed to let him see through the clouds of gas.
"Yes, it worked! Huh, wait a second…" he said as he saw the opened vent.
"Smart son of a bitch" he said.
"What is it sir?" a soldier asked.
"He's in the vent." Activate the fans and suck the gas to him. He hasn't escaped us yet."
"Yes sir."
"Chief, you better hurry, it wont take them long to figure out we escaped." Cortana said.
Just then they heard the alarm go off.
"See, I told you. I checked the lay out of the ship and, unfortunately, you were right, it is used to suck the gas out."
"But that means…" he was cut off by the sound of fans activating.
He turned around and saw gas coming his way. He started to crawl quicker, but the gas was getting closer.
"Chief, we can't get away like this, I hope you have a bright idea."
"As a matter of fact" he said as he punched through the bottom of the vent. He pulled on the metal making a hole large enough to drop through.
He fell through and ran through the blast door and slammed it shut.
"Nice plan" Cortana said.
They were in what looked to be a weapons locker.
"Perfect" he muttered.
He took out two plasma guns, a Covenant Carbine, and some plasma grenades.
He opened up the next door and was in the control room. This was where they controlled the gas. The captain was gone but an elite and a grunt were still there. The grunt spotted him and yelled in an alien tough. He quickly took him out but the elite stated shooting at him. He rolled out of the way and one of the shots hit a control panel behind him. Master Chief through a plasma grenade at him. He ran out the door and Master chief heard a large boom.
Then suddenly a red light came on above the door. Master Chief went to the damaged control panel and uploaded Cortana into it.
"Mind telling me what's going on?" he said.
"Oh no, this console controlled all the venting in the ship" she said.
"And?"
"And when the console got hit it opened every vent in the ship!"
"Which means the gas is going to spread through the whole ship?" Master Chief asked.
"Exactly"
Meanwhile on the bridge of the Adelaide…
"Captain, you need to see this."
"What is it?"
"Come see for yourself."
The captain walked up to the pilot and eyed him curiously. The pilot simply pointed at the screen on the console. The captain looked at the screen and his eyes widened.
"Do you think it's just a computer malfunction?" The pilot asked.
"When did this alert first appear?" the captain asked.
"About three minutes ago sir, why?"
"Show me the security feed in the gas control room four minutes ago"
A picture came up and for a while nothing happened but then he saw 'the demon' walk in and shoot the grunt, then roll out of the way of the elites shots causing them to miss him and hit the control panel.
"Show me it now." He ordered.
"Yes sir."
The picture came on and the room was filled with gas.
"Show me the hanger."
The picture came up and, thankfully, the hanger was gas free.
"Give the order to evacuate the entire ship. We're lucky most of the crew have gone to attack Sideras."
Back with Master Chief…
"Now where are we?" Master Chief asked.
"Looks like the mess hall." Cortana replied.
Then a voice came up on the intercom that was unmistakably the captains.
"Attention, a highly lethal gas is spreading through the ship, all personal are ordered to make their ways to the evacuation ships."
"Took them long enough to notice." Cortana stated.
Master Chief had only taken three steps when Cortana yelled out.
"Look up there, Chief!"
Master Chief looked up and gas quickly leaking out of a vent.
"It's spreading quicker then I thought it would. Cortana said. Chief we have to leave, now!"
He started running to the nearest door but when he was about seven steps away an elite came running through the door and was disincarnated right there in front of him. Then the gas started to poor in, he was surrounded on both sides. Master Chief turned and ran to the only other door.
"Chief, that's an airlock. Give me a second… okay, there's a walkway out there that will lead to the crew quarters, right next door to the hangers. Lets just hope it isn't filled with gas."
On the bridge…
"Sir, we've done every thing we can to contain the gas, but there's nothing more we can do."
"Good job soldier, everyone get to the hanger."
"Sir look."
The captain looked where the pilot was pointing out the window and saw the last thing he wanted to, the demon walking along the walkway.
"Holy Prophets, why won't he just die?"
"What are your orders?"
"Just get to the hanger, the gas will finish him off."
Just then there was a strange noise from the ceiling.
"Sir did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
Then it happened again.
"That."
"What is that?" the captain asked himself.
Just then gas started to filter into the room from every direction. The captain watched as every pilot in the room disappeared before his eyes. He ran to the door into the dormitories and yelled for the pilot behind him to come, but it was too late, he died. He ran through the door and locked it behind him.
Just then the airlock door on the other side of the room opened reveling Master Chief.
"You, demon, you're a tough one to kill."
The captain quickly reached back and pulled out his plasma rifle and pointed at Master chief. He did the same. Master Chief ducked inside a closet and the captain jumped behind a bunk. They traded shots until the captain lobbed a plasma grenade into the closet flushing Master Chief out. He jumped behind a bunk. Then the captain yelled out.
"I never caught your name."
"Master Chief" he yelled back.
"Not even going to ask me mine?"
"Not interested."
"I'll tell you anyway, it's Aerosol."
Master Chief replied by throwing a grenade at him.
"That's what happens when you try to start some small talk. I'd love to stay and lob some more grenades, but I have a ride to catch."
With that he ran through the door and locked it behind him.
"Chief, we need a way to get through that door. Give me a second to upload the layout… okay, try lifting up the third floorboard from the right. Master Chief pulled it up and there was a bomb underneath it.
"They really should keep better tabs on counterfeit weapons smuggling." Cortana said.
Master Chief placed the bomb on the door and set it for 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, BOOM!
The door blasted open and Master Chief rushed in to see the captain's shuttle take off, and gas filling the room from every direction.
Master Chief looked around and saw a banshee in the corner of the hanger, gas closing in on it. Master Chief made a dash for it and jumped in. He took off and sped away from the Adelaide. Then the Adelaide drifted into a large asteroid field where it got battered into dust.
As Master Chief drifted in space he had one last thing on his mind… should he continue on his mission to space station 64 or chase after Aerosol, and help at the battle of Sideras.
A/N-As you can see this chapter is even longer then the last. Yet again, I ask for your help, what should Master Chief do, continue on his mission or help at Sideras? Just know I have some pretty interesting things I plan to do with this story if he goes on with his mission. And, please forgive me for any spelling mistakes, it's 1:30 in the morning.
Irish trinity-Thanks a lot for the review, good to hear from you again. As you can see, I make longer chapters every time.
Scorptank-I know, I'm working on making them longer.
