Back to the current day. They charged forward and shot the enemy ahead of them and they all collapsed with ease and then snipers started shooting at them, but missed every time and John-117 said, "Terrible aim. Meaning that we're up against a new Forerunner threat if they are working for the Prometheans. Prometheans were a lot tougher than this."

Frederic-104 said, "That's because Cortana was controlling them."

Linda-058 said, "Still, if the Prometheans are back. A new AI must be involved here."

The snipers saw that they kept missing and then aimed properly and said, "Farewell Spartans."

They were about to shoot at them, but John-117 shot them off of their tower and said, "Let's move forward."

They walked forward and saw that the black grass was being smothered and said, "Hm, it seems like they dragged the Forerunners out of there camp. What the hell are they up to?"

While they walked forward, 4 explosions occurred 600000 miles from there position and then Kelly-087 said, "An explosion."

Frederic-104 said, "That was about 600000 miles from here."

John-117 said, "Those were G58 Viper Nades (Grenade). Those are the only grenades in the world that could create a loud enough explosion for all to hear. And thanks to that, all of those things will be headed to his location."

Linda-058 said, "Fireteam Abaddon, do you read me?"

No answer was found and then Linda-058 said, "Nothing still."

John-117 said, "Keep moving."

They continued walking forward and then saw a sign saying "Hollow Meadows" and Frederic-104 said, "Hollow Meadows. The sign is in English, meaning that this was once a humanized planet."

Linda-058 said, "Whoever they are must have obliterated the human race."

Kelly-087 said, "You might be right about that. Look over there."

John-117 saw the bodies of the humans that once occupied this planet and then said, "What the hell does that say? It's a saying on their chests."

Kelly-087 said, "Thomas Kay was here. Stay away from him or pay the price Blue Team. Thomas is mine. All mine."

Frederic-104 said, "Someone wants to keep us away from Fireteam Abaddon."

The voice appeared and said, "You are right about that. You are interfering with my revival. And the change will begin."

John-117 asked, "What change?"

The voice answered, "Can't say. You'll need to find that out yourself."

Linda-058 asked, "Who are you and the people that attacked us?"

The voice answered, "They were Dundorats. You shouldn't underestimate them. Everyone on this planet works for me. Except for the UNSC. They are my enemies. They plan to stop me from destroying the UNSC. Cortana failed to do so. Now I'll take her place."

Kelly-087 asked, "Who are you?"

The voice said, "You don't need to know that. Plus, you'll never catch up with Thomas and his team."

Frederic-104 said, "You better start talking."

The voice said, "You have a big mouth, just like my beloved Thomas. So ready to kick some ass. Let's just say that because of those explosions, they just committed suicide by awakening the Degrunti."

John-117 asked, "What is a Degrunti?"

She answered, "The same as a Hunter. But a lot stronger and older. Get through the Hollow Meadows and find out what'll happen to you. I'm not a very lenient person."

Kelly-087 said, "Let's move forward."

A Degrunti appeared in front of them and the voice said, "Degrunti, kill them."

The Degrunti roared and then lifted its F-937 Jackhammer (Melee) up and then started walking toward Blue Team. The voice said, "You are probably wondering why I killed every human that was on this planet. Would you like to know why I did that?"

John-117 answered, "Yes we would, voice."

The voice said, "They were trying to bring the UNSC here. The UNSC Delta Discovery Team found this planet and now you are the second group of humans that entered my world. Plus, Thomas is close enough for me to take over the universe."

John-117 said, "Dammit."

The voice said, "Well, if you live through this, I might make an exception."

They heard that and John-117 said, "I don't believe you."

She heard that and said, "Well, you aren't the only one. Fireteam Abaddon said the same shit. But they don't know what is about to happen. This planet has been infested by us for over 5 centuries. And you can't stop me from dominating the world. Not even your best friend, Thomas Kay can defeat me."

John-117 asked, "Are you an AI, just like Cortana?"

She answered, "No, I'm not an AI. I'm just a nobody that was gifted immortality and the ability to change time. And make sure that it never turns back."

Kelly-087 said, "We can't allow that."

The voice said, "Well, you can't contact Thomas and tell him to stop now, can you, bitch?"

Kelly-087 heard that and said, "Now that is what a human would say normally."

Linda-058 said, "We won't let you change time."

The voice said, "Yeah, you will. Unless you guys or Fireteam Abaddon finds the jammer. You guys will be trapped on this planet for days, weeks, months, years. I don't care how long it takes. But I will get what I want."

John-117 looked around and then the Degrunti swung at them and John-117 slid underneath the Degrunti and started shooting at his back and noticed that there was a steel plate on its back and said, "Oh, ok. We need grenades back here. Sticky ones to be exact."

Frederic-104 sighed and then the Degrunti turned around and said, "Degrunti must kill you for master."

Linda-058 asked, "Who would your master be?"

Degrunti answered, "Some girl obsessed with Thomas Kay."

Everyone heard that and then Frederic-104 tossed a G10 Sticky Plasma Grenade (Grenade) at him and it stuck to the Degruntis steel back plate and then Frederic-104 and Kelly-087 turned around and then the grenade blew up and then the steel plate flew off of his back and then Frederic-104 and Kelly-087 turned around and started shooting at the smoke and the Degrunti roared and turned around and Linda-058 and John-117 saw that and started shooting at them next and then the Degrunti collapsed and then the voice saw that and said, "Son of a bitch."

They kept moving forward and the voice said, "This is just the beginning Blue Team."
