It has been a hectic couple of months. I started working full time again and dealing with work drama. I will not bore you with that.

Thank you! I hope that this chapter is up to par with the previous ones.

Chapter 29 – Rescue Part 2

My team walks into the building to find it decrepit and encased in shadows that seemed to move all on their own. I saw some soldiers shiver from the atmosphere of the place. It felt more depressed and ready to give up its secrets than try and keep them. One soldier moved forward and stepped on a piece of flooring that decided to give off a loud squeak of disapproval for the added weight. I let a sigh out and indicated for everyone to head down the only hallway that is currently present for us. We walked down in a staggered formation with looking around every nook and cranny that the walls seemed to encompass. I had to chuckle under my breath a couple of times at some of the soldiers being surprised by a large foreign bug or rodent occupying that current area.

The main hallway came to a hallway that formed a 'T' and I directed the team to split up with more going to the side that would not have me in the group. My smaller team took the left side of the hallway and started down the hallway. It seemed to slowly swallow us in until it spat us out into the room that looked oddly familiar to the room that the Arbiter was held in. I radioed that over the communications circuit. Eton's team and my other team responded and headed toward my location.

A few minutes passed and we all were congregated in the room and started to scout around to see if we could see anything of importance. Any little detail can give us a further inside of where they have taken him.

"We found a corridor that has blood trailing down it." Eton spoke out and started heading down in the direction. My team started to follow with hesitant steps.

We stopped at a cell block to see that they were all empty besides one. The one held a badly beaten being that seemed to wither with pain. I did not get a good look at him due to moving further down the block to investigate anything else. The gate opened and I heard that it was confirmed that it was the Arbiter. Two elites were able to grab him and we all formed around the three and started heading out. We heard some of the ones that captured him start running out and firing towards us.

We were moving as fast as we could with a wounded individual. We reached the streets and saw a swarm of them. We started to take the backway to the ronde view point. It was in a field a few miles away. I knew that we would not be making it there with everyone. I knew that I will have to that the initiative and head in a different direction to let them have a way out. I made my way closer to Eton and patted his shoulder.

I turned around and left the formation with an understanding that I will most likely never be coming back to the ones that I care about. I ran towards them and gathered the offender's attention. I started to dodge their bullets as I started to use the advancement to my body for this very use.

I started to feel the elation of running faster that I could with normal humans around. I stopped and looked up.

"Orion, find me a path to the roof tops." I needed to start fighting from there.

"Titan, take the alley entrance on your left and go up the stairs. You will then have to jump up and catch the ledge and pull yourself up." Orion stated as he showed me the view in the lower left of my screen. I turned around and started running to the very entrance he told me about. I jumped and missed the first flight of stairs and had to jump again. I missed the ledge but I was able to ram my fingers into the wall and had to leave indents where I kicked my feet into the wall. I slowly climbed to the top of the building that way. I took position and started to fire down at the enemy below us.

"Titan," the voice of the pilot called over the communications circuit after ten minutes of repeated shooting. "Everyone has been saved and onboard. Awaiting you and the Spartan."

"Pilot, this is an order." I started. "Leave us and do not come back to this planet." I could hear some people trying to talk over the communications circuit. "Orion, shut down my communications circuit with the ship. You let me know if you can get ahold of John."

"Yes, Val." I heard Orion's somber voice. I think he knew that this will be one of the last stands of ours. I turned my focus back and knew the path I was going to take. I turned and took off into a sprint. At the very last minute I jumped to the other building and kept this up until I was further away from the ship.

I dropped down from the building to the ground below and put myself into a corner. This will be my last stand – I thought. I can now feel peace inside of my heart. I sent it across the mating bond also.

I saw the multitude of the enemy reach me.

"Orion, start the self-destruct of the build and guns. Make sure it is a good range to take out these fuckers." I called out. I heard the countdown start. I breathed in deeply and let my mind go when the counting started.

No one's point of view

The explosion took out half of the army that was sent after the female titan. The most impressive thing was that it took out half of the town and crumbled the other parts with how loud it was.

The aircraft that held the Arbiter, Eton, elite, and the human soldiers was quiet as the AI Orion stated what happened and that it is trying to see if the titan lived. It would be the titan's luck that she did survive but the AI was not getting any active lifeform of hers. Her mate – Eton, doubled over and placed his hand to his heart with a mighty roar of pain that frightened just about everyone onboard. They could hear the pain and suffering of losing a soulmate that has just occurred. Many did not know that feeling. However, the Arbiter rested his hand on Eton's leg somberly. The Arbiter too has lost a soulmate – the Spartan.

At headquarters it was made aware that the Titan and the Spartan was lost. The human officials started to freak out about making new titans and Spartans. However, they were told that they could never do that again. It was signed into a law that the government could not make new Spartans or Titans. Which have stopped their plans in the motion from the get go.

The Arbiter was healing in medical and trying to heal his own bleeding heart. The Arbiter was eerily quiet that has made everyone around him uncomfortable. Eton has been staying in the Titan's room and not leave. He was grieving in his own way.

Time seems to go by slowly on the ship.

On the planet that both Thel and Eton have lost their most treasured soulmates on, the AI – Orion found a small signal being amplified from the very area that the Titan took her last breath. Orion kept this to himself and did not want to give anyone any further hope that can be crushed.

In the very location that the Titan known as Valkyrie took her last breath, rubble started to move from something underneath it that wanted out. It moved to reveal two hands, one incased in black armor and the other in green armor. The rubble moved further to show the two forms of the very individuals that were presumed dead. Both nearly half dead as it was and finding a way to get to different ground.

The titan pressed a small button on the side of helmet at the same time as the Spartan did.

Onboard the main ship, on the bridge, in the radar unit, a loud beeping started to blare and scare many watch standards up there. At a closer look the noise was coming from the signal repeater for both the Titan and the Spartan.

The need arise and informed the two individuals who thought they lost their loved ones. Resulted in two identical roars of pain, sorrow, relief, and need.

A mission was being made to retrieve those two left on the planet.
