Just so you peoples know the Covenant names… Lekgolo: Hunter, Sangheili: Elite, Kig-yar: Jackal, Yanme'e : Drone, Uggoy: Grunt, Jiralhanae: Brute, Prophets: Prophets.

The Master Chief looked down at the four golden Zealot Elites that were conversing under him.

"We need to find that human Zealous! The Prophets are not going to give us any more time." The biggest one said.

"I will Kleezmeer! I will find that girl if it takes my life!" The smallest said. He was short and had a high- pitched voice that irritated the Spartan.

The Elites quit bickering and sat down for a long nap. The Master Chief snapped his head up as a hand reached down and tapped his shoulder. There, sitting in the tree above him was a young woman. She smiled at him and swung down to his branch in the great tree.

"Hi." She said. "What did they say about me?"

He stared at her. She had light brown hair that flowed down to the center of her back, scars tracing her body and really creepy eyes. The pupils were slitted, like a cats, and they were a milky white. The whites of her eyes where pure black and they seemed to go right through him.

"Well?" She said impatiently.

"Are you the one they are after?"

"Yup."

Before he could reply she darted to the lowest branch and picked a feather-like leaf from the tree.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Just having some fun. This will create a diversion so we can get away."

She leaned down as far as she could and put the leaf on the nose of a grunt and tickled his face. The black spec-ops Grunt attempted to bat it away and hit an orange-shielded Jackal in the face. The Jackal returned the attack with a well-placed kick. The Grunt jumped upon his tormentor and, in the struggle, rolled into a Lekgolo (Hunter). The huge alien roared and turned around using his shield like a battering ram to knock the two aliens out of commission. The commotion woke up every alien and a huge battle struck out among the Covenant.

The women grabbed the Chief's arm and dragged him out of the battlefield.

"Common you big oaf! Let's go while they beat the crap out of each other!"

The women tugged the Master Chief along until they reached a clearing. The huge Spartan almost ran into her as she stopped short.

"What is it?" He asked.

She put her hand up to silence him. "Straight ahead there are three Kig-yar (Jackals) and a camouflage Elite."

The Chief looked ahead but all he could see were the three minor Kig-yar that she had mentioned. He looked down. "I don't see a…."

He looked around and noticed that the women had disappeared. The Chief scanned the surrounding forest and saw her creeping up on one of the Kig-yar. Just as she was about to smack it in the back of the head one of the other Kig-yar spotted her. The alien gave a surprised squawk as it put it's shield in front of it and began firing at the new threat. The Kig-yar that the women was sneaking up on emitted a strangled squeak as she forced the creatures weapon into the rough folds of it's neck. The women squeezed the trigger and the Chief could hear the aliens bones shatter. She then sprinted across the clearing and her fist connected with and invisible force. The Chief was surprised as anElite's purple-black blood exploded from its jaw.

'She's fast, too fast.' The Chief thought as he looked at her. The Elite roared at his tormenter as the camouflage generator failed and exposed the alien. The women took three fast steps and closed in on the Elite. As she went she wrenched a branch from a tree and smacked the Elite in the back with it. She smiled as the branch broke the Elites spine and the warrior slammed to the ground. But he wasn't dead, well, at least not yet. The women put her boot on the alien's skull and stepped down and its skull exploded, sending blood, fragments of skull and bits of brain into the air and all over the grass.

Her attention shifted to the two Kig-yar that stood in the middle of the clearing, stunned by what they had just witnessed. The women took an advantage of that moment to close in on them and she cracked their heads together. Their skulls caved in and she waved the Chief down.

He looked at her. "Who are you? Or more, what are you?"

She smiled sweetly. "Oh I'm just an ordinary Spartan like you. "

"WHAT!" The Chief exclaimed. "What's your number?"

"I'm SPARTAN 118, Admiral Kat Keyes." She smiled again.

The Master Chief found himself saluting to her. She walked off towards a large clump of trees.

"You don't need to salute to me. Your to cute."

He felt his face go red. No one had ever said that to him before. He watched as Kat pulled back some bushes to reveal a Spectre. Kat jumped In the drivers seat and activated the vehicle. He walked over and looked at her.

"Where did you get this?"

"Does it really matter?" She growled. "The only thing that matters is that we get out of here alive. Where is your HQ?" She asked.

He climbed into the turret seat and activated the plasma turret. "Just over those hills under the cliffs."

He held on for dear life as she accelerated towards the cliffs.

The Master Chief was hustled aside as Marines got Kat cornered.

"Who are you?" One marine asked as he and the others raised their rifles at her head.

"I am SPARTAN 118, Admeral Kat Keyes and I just saved the Chief's ass so you should be thankful." She growled.

The Chief pushed his way past the Marines. "It's true. She did save my ass… and she beat the crap out of three Jackal's and a camouflage Elite all on her own with no weapons."

The marine put his weapon down a bit. "Prove it."
