AN, this the final part of the Halo Ring arc in Wolf Effect


Wolf Effect

Ch 26. Patient Zero

Location: Halo, control room

Anthony's POV

It was a major shocker for so many reasons but what was the biggest was when we found Wolf-4's team Achilles

The main reason was that his team was supposedly went KIA to help us escape from Requiem but apparently when we keep finding more shit like this I think we may soon find a army inside of cryopods

Myself & everyone that was in the control room heard the door being hit hard which I could assume the flood are trying to get in so I looked at Sparks then asked "How many can you teleport out of here & onto the ships?"

Spark looked at me with his one eye then answered "since there are 18 of us that can't teleport & 6 who can my estimation would be 4"

I nodded then looked at Wolf-4 or better known to me as Prime "Alright I'll need both you & Ashley to get the those Spartans & have them back into the Spirt of Fire"

I saw them nod as they did so without question & Spark got to work on gaining access to the ring then I heard the Rookie speak "What about the people outside?"

Shepard answered that "I was able to use my helmet cam to alert them of the situation so if they aren't off by the time we get to the ships then I'm afraid we'll have to leave them..." she said it sadly but I understand that because if we allow a single spore to escape then the whole galaxy will be in danger

I was seeing some cracks coming through the door as the flood seem to be able to break it but my guess is that with a few powerful hits then that door will fall & we'll be wasting ammo on them so I yelled out "EVERYONE GET READY!"

Everyone go by the door except I stopped Halsey then said "I need you to stay close to the other two Spartans in there, once Prime goes then you go"

She was hesitant for a moment then nods "Very well but you & everyone else better be back alive you hear"

I smiled behind my helmet as she went over to the other 2 cyropods then I heard Sparks say "I'm in! Now I'll be setting up the coordinates to the Spirt of Fire for the team guarding the Spartans then the rest will enter into the Normandy"

Wrex grunted "yeah yeah, just do it already I don't think these things will wait forever"

I then saw Ghost come into view of my HUD as she smiled then said "Want to play one of your songs?"

Ruby walked right up next to me with her sword out as she said to me "Why don't you play that one song through the speakers? I think it'll be perfect for this"

I smiled more then Ghost selected the song »115 by Treyarch sound« I played it through the external speakers

The door was busted open & soon enough the horse of flood swarmed in just in time to see that Prime, Ashley, & the 2 Spartans get sent away to the ship

Ruby suddenly got out her Boltshot & started shooting at anything just to keep them back until one of the combat forms got too close she stabbed her sword right where the infection form was implanted at & soon enough once her Boltshot ran dry she just used her sword & was rapidly slicing & dicing them

Kaiser got out his Gravity hammer & started smashing any Flood that was close & if they weren't going to get smashed they would get blown away by the hammers Gravity effect which caused the flood to fly back into the rest of its mass

The Rookie pulled out his shotgun then yelled "My name is Jason Helon! And this is my shotgun!" He shot one of the combat forms as it fell down missing its upper body then he kicked a pure form in what it would be called a 'face' then shot it with his shotgun but when he was about to get jumped by a stalker he just pulled out his SMG quicker then any ODST that I've met & filled it with a whole lot of lead as it fell to the ground dead

Shepard, Liara, & Wrex were either using shotguns or biotics but so far the only ones using biotics was Wrex & Liara but Shepard was using a shotgun along with Wrex but so far they were holding their own as Liara & Wrex both sent a singularity which gave them a chance to blast the fuckers then fall back so they wouldn't get swarmed & repeat the process over again

I was using my grenade launcher to thin the whole mass out & that bought enough time for Halsey to get teleport out of here along with the last two Spartans as I saw the prometheans teleport as well which confused me until I heard Spark yell out "I'll need to know who's going next since the flood are closing in!"

I was about to answer until a tank form ran into me & pinned me to the ground but I had a arm free which I was going to grab my grenade launcher until it smashed it with his 'leg' but before it could do anything else Red team unleashed a hail of bullets onto the fucker killing it as they helped me up

I heard Kaiser yell out "Get Jason & Red team out then us!" He said this while ramming into a combat form & crushing it against the wall

Spark did as told before anyone could respond except for Jason as he just flipped the flood that was in front of him off

Soon enough it was just me, Ruby, Kaiser, & Sparks against the whole flood along with Shepard's team

I knew there won't be much use in trying so I looked at Spark "I want you to get everyone else ASAP"

Spark bobbed his head "I'll increase the capacity of the teleportation but be advise this action could result in the ring being destroyed"

Shepard looked at Sparks the replied "Do it!" Then I saw Spark fire off a blue laser which seemed to be him working on the order & I got my plasma rifle swords out & ready for the incoming horde

Location: Everest, captains bridge

Cole's POV

I had to give the order for everyone to get off the Ring & so far the people of both the UNSC & Normandy were able to evacuate but I did get reports from the Spirt of Fire saying that some of the occupants teleported into their ship but after hearing that they brought along some Spartans in cyro

I was seeing that our supposed alien allies were just about done evacuating but then I saw that 3 of their ships starts turning away from the ring but what really caught my attention was when I heard someone speaking on the comms "[Mayday! The parasite is onboard our ships! Please someone he-AAAHHHHHHH!]"

After that I was hearing some growling then the comms went dead as I was prepared to fire our ships weapons I felt the need to inform the person in charge of these people to let them know of the situation "Comms bring up that Vasir spectre & council"

After my comm specialist did as ordered I saw both the council & Vasir on screen as the blue woman called a Asari & this one is the Asari councilor spoke to me "What is it Admiral?"

I cleared my thrust then said "3 of your ships has been infected by the flood & everyone onboard that ship is either dead or have been turned into one of them"

The Turian councilor spoke next "What are you going on about? How did they even get onboard there in the first place?!"

I replied "I don't know but I will need to destroy before they can even escape"

That seemed to get everyone's attention as the Asari councilor replied quickly "Wait! There has to be a way to save them! M-Maybe if we-"

I sighed knowing this all too well as I interrupted her "Look as much as I hate this as much as you it's either kill them to save the lives a billions or let the flood spread very quickly"

The Salarian councilor spoke up next "Are you certain of this? Can't we try to study it to find a cure?"

I shook my head as I heard one of my people on the bridge "Sir! Those ships are heading toward the relay! We need to know what to do or we'll lose them!"

I grunted knowing this was bad then I heard the Turian councilor say "Do it.. stop those ships as a request from the council to the UNSC, we would rather lose 3 ships then 1 whole galaxy"

I understood how hard it may have been for him to say that along with the other councilors including the Vasir woman as I looked at my weapon specialist "Fire everything we have at them. Let's make sure to stop them before they can escape"

The Everest weapons were coming online as saw MAC rounds firing & impacting into the ship that was closest & after about 4 rounds hit the whole ship blew up

I saw that both the flood turned ships were speeding up towards the relay but the one that was getting closer to the was soon fired upon by the MAC rounds until one of the other flood ships got in the way taking the hits & blew up next

We were about to fire again until the ship made it through then one of my people on the bridge said "Sir... we lost track of the ship.."

I sat down in the chair & sighed not because of losing the ship but for letting loose a infection that will spread throughout whatever system it was in

Location: Halo, Control room

Shepard's POV

I was having a difficult time of using the shotgun so I switched to using a assault rifle with the modifications that Wolfpack made but during the whole shooting that the never ending swarm I heard Nihlus get in comms as he said "[Shepard are you there?!]"

I answered him "I'm here along with a few others in what appears to be a control room to this ring, what's going on?" I nearly got stabbed by one of those combat forms if it wasn't for Wrex's shotgun

Nihlus continued speaking "[Just about 3 council ships have been infected by the parasite but luckily the UNSC were able to get 2 but the last one got away & we don't know where it went]"

That was very bad but I responded to Nihlus "Alright, we can only hope that those things crash land somewhere that isn't populated"

I then heard Spark say "Alright everyone, time for us to leave" he fired a blue laser as he got teleported first then soon 1 by 1 everyone was teleported until it was me & Anthony as we were firing onto the large horde then soon we were teleported last

Location: Normandy, cockpit

Anthony's POV

I felt like puking my guts out but glad to be alive as I saw everyone was here then we looked to see Halo blow up to many pieces leaving nothing left as it was heading down into the gas planet it was orbiting

I sigh then said "I'm going to go rest up a bit for the next mission" I started heading down to the Normandy's cargo hold to try & get some rest
