Well, I apologize for that last chapter, but I do not like battle scenes, they bore me.

I fired, and the round flew from the barrel of my weapon, down the vertical area of the Library, and hit Mathew in the head, killing him. The female grabbed the sergeant and jumped behind cover.

I hurled myself off the ledge, and landednear them. I silently crouched and walked toward their cover. As I neared the edge, the female jumped out and threw a punch at me. I grabbed her arm, and used her momentum, and my own strength to throw her over another ledge, and plummeting to the bottom of the very deep, very dark depths of the Flood-infested Library. I certainly didn't want to kill her, but I had to.

I raised myself off of the ground and walked back to where the sergeant was located. I received a few rounds from his rifle, but nothing with enough power to pierce my armor. I grabbed him by the throat, and hurled him to the same place as the female Spartan.

The next day, I was woken up by Guilty Spark rambling about hostile forces in the Library. I dropped to where the Sentinels were located, and were fighting the human forces who had invaded the Library to kill me, and I began to fight. I fought Spartans and I fought shock troops, I fought machines and I fought aliens.

But I had already seen my future, I already felt my time leaving me. This battle, I did not survive. This battle I did not lose. Not to humans, not to Spartans. I lost to the unwillingness to continue this pointless, most inappropriate war I was ever involved in. I fought to the end, slashing, punching, screaming, firing, but I gave in to the fact that, no matter how hard I tried to win, I would lose. If not to my own race, than to Sparks machines. But I changed...The End.

Epilogue: 076 felt truly sorry for the soldier that found his body in the rubble of the vast battle that had taken place just a day earlier.He felt vibrations above him. His hand shot up out of the rubble and bodies he was buried in. Parts of his gauntlet were falling off, and his hand grasped a young soldier's leg. The young man was immediately sucked down through the burning, stinking, rotting death he was marching on. He opened his eyes to see two red glowing orbs, and the last thing he saw was a powerful claw flying out of the darkness and piercing his body.


Hope you guys liked it. Sorry I ended so abruptly. Now its time to update CB&E.
