Captains Log 2

When we got back to Earth I remembered the space station that we left at wasn't that high-teck. I laughed at that thought. I walked over to the phone terminal. "Operator, could I please have Mrs. Cornelia Leonhart?" I asked. "Right away." she said. The phone rang. "YES!" she moaned. "Cornelia?" I asked. The screen came on. She was sleeping with another man. "Leon!" she gasped. "So this was what you were doing while I was gone." I said. No hun that wasn't it. It's just that you weren't here." she said. The man got up. "Wow I see why." I said. He smiled and nodded at the camera. "Thanks." he said. "Leon." she said. "That's ok I haven't seen you in three years and sometimes I've been busy that I can't call you, I'll send the divorce papers over or would you like me to just come over and drop them off?" I asked her. "Just send them I'll give them to the department tomorrow."She said. "Good bye Leon." she said. "Good bye, Cor-" I said but got cut off by her turning off the monitor. I walked away.

Meanwhile, at the Military Academy

I broke my world record that I did two years ago, I believe that deserves something but no my instructors didn't do anything they just patted me on the back and said good job again. Well after that I watched Elea's team come I also saw her communicator. She smiled and walked by. I stopped and ran up to her. "Hey!" I said. About Three girls looked back. "Commander Elea's Communicator!" I yelled. She stopped and turned and faced me. "Commander Leonhart?" she said. "Where is Commander Elea?" I asked. "The Commander had a little personal business that she had to take care of." She said. "Alright can you give her this message then?" I asked her. "Yes, what is it commander?" she asked. "Tell her that I want to see her in the Chief's office." I said. She nodded and smiled. "Will do." she said. I smiled back. "Thanks." I said. She walked away. I walked down the hall to my room that the Chief gave me. I unlocked the door. "WOW." I said. The room was so beautiful I could see the mountains covered with snow, but I knew that it was an hologram that you could change compared to your mood. Also the bathroom had a shower that wasn't mounted to the wall and it had a hot tub right in a hologram room. I took off my shirt and lied on my bed. What a long day of re-training. The phone rang. "Hello?" I asked. The telephone screen came on it was the Chief. "Hi Chief." I said. "Do you like your accommodations?" He asked. "Yes Chief, what is it that you wanted." I asked. I got up and walked over to the screen. "We are having a farewell party for you and your men." He said. "Will Commander Elea's team be coming too?" I asked. "Yes, oh and you dress uniform is there in the bathroom, see if it fits properly." He said. "Thanks Chief." I said. "Only looking out for the man that saved my life two years ago." He said. I smiled. The screen went black and disappeared again. I walked into the bathroom. I looked at the uniform it looked like a SeeD uniform but it was in black, not blue. I sighed and turned on the shower.

I let the warm water run down my head. Just as I was getting relaxed, a knock on my door knocked me out of my trance that I was in. I was listening to Beethoven's, Sonata No. 14 "Moonlight". I turned off the water and grabbed a towel. "Who is it?" I asked. "Let me in Commander Leonhart." A familiar Voice said. I looked to see who it was. It was Elea's communicator. I opened the door. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing Commander I just wanted to see you." She said. "Wow nice room, I have the same one except that mine's not this big, and doesn't come with a hot tub." She said. I smiled. "Oh commander were you in the shower?" she asked. "Yea." I said. "Sorry, go ahead." She said. I walked back into the bathroom. She sat on the couch. I walked out of the bathroom with a black shirt, with a white unbuttoned shirt that had the sleeves rolled up, a pair of jeans that were faded on the thighs, and a necklace that had a red stone on it. "Commander I thought that you had a party to go to?" She asked me. "Ah, I didn't want to go to that party that had all the snobby rich people and all my commanding officers." I said. She laughed at the thought.

Outside

"You know I don't even know your name." I said. She smiled. "It's Erica." She said. "Leon." I said. "Commander Leon Leonhart. Sounds like a military commander's name to me." she said. I laughed. She smiled. I walked over to the fountain. "Ah, what a cool night." I said sitting down on the bench. "Yea, sure is the sound of the water makes it seem peaceful." she said. "Yea but there are a lot of evil people around at night." I said. She looked the other direction. "Commander, there is something I must tell you." she said. "What?" I asked looking at her. "Letro, he's not in command of the Halo that we are to attack tomorrow he's...dead." she said. I looked at her. "WHAT?" I asked. "I found out from a friend that lives on the planet, she almost died giving me that information, but she's safe, I need to help my friends there and if I die doing so let them know that I died for them." she said. A tear ran down her face. "Erica, Letro's not in command, then who is?" I asked. She looked up at me. "It's..." she said. Then her head fell on my lap. She was shot in the back of the head died instantly. "Erica?" I said shaking her. No response. I picked her up and ran into the quad, were the party was. I rushed up to the Chief. "Chief, someone shot her." I said running up to him. "Please someone call the hospital or something, quick!" I yelled. There were screams from everywhere. Elea ran over to me. "Leon, what happened?" she asked me. "She told me that Letro was killed and I asked her who was then she fell on my lap dying." I said. "Monta.." Erica whispered. I looked at her. "Montab..." she said adding a letter. "She's trying to tell me who did it." I said to Elea. She looked at me. "Montaba..." she said. Then she closed her eyes never to open them again.

Two days later, back in space in our new ship

I walked down the hall and into the command room. Elea was already sitting down watching incase of errors. "Your men work hard, you must be proud." she said. "I am it's just I looked up information on the person that Erica said before she died, there are no records of that person existing." I said. I wonder what she meant by that. "Arriving at planet ZX14295, also known as, Planet X-14" My communicator said. I looked up a beautiful planet that circled a binary star. The most beautiful planet that I've seen since earth. But little did I know that this planet was a time bomb.
