5 days ago. A Degrunti appeared and Thomas asked, "What the hell is this thing?"

Chelsea answered, "I don't know, but it looks similar to a Hunter."

Raven said, "Forbes is right."

Robin said, "That is a Degrunti. It's a type of Forerunner."

Thomas said, "Just like everything else that we've fought, correct."

Robin answered, "Yes."

Bridget asked, "Are you sure about that?"

Robin answered, "Yes, I'm correct most of the time."

Thomas sighed and said, "Let's find a damn weakness on this thing."

Robin said, "No need. There is a steel plate on the back of the Degrunti. Just like a Hunter, you must take it off so you could do some real damage to it."

Thomas said, "Get your grenades ready."

Chelsea asked, "Which ones?"

Thomas looked at the 5 kinds that they have and said, "Uh, the G14 Tacky Grenades (Grenade). Use just one. Only one person throws it though."

Bridget said, "Alright, I got it. Now turn it around."

Thomas ran toward it and the Degrunti swung its jackhammer at him, but Thomas jumped on top of it and then appeared behind him and jumped down and started shooting at his back and then the Degrunti roared and turned around and Raven appeared next to Thomas and nodded and Thomas said, "Now Bridget."

Bridget tossed the grenade and it stuck on to its steel plate and then 5 seconds later, it exploded and then the Degrunti roared even louder and then Bridget and Chelsea started shooting at its back and then the Degrunti started to turn around and then they stopped and Thomas shot it in the back along with Raven and then it collapsed 5 seconds later and then Thomas saw that and then grabbed it and Bridget helped him and they tossed it out of the way of the path and then kept running forward, so they wouldn't have to face another one of them. As soon as they got to the exit, they saw a huge number of Dundorats there and stopped and said, "Son of a bitch. They really took over the goddamn world. How could they?"

Thomas said, "Alright, this is our next destination. Passed the Hollow Meadows."

Raven said, "Yep."

Bridget asked, "When are we going to shoot and kill them all?"

Chelsea answered, "Whenever Kay gives the ok."

Thomas said, "Well..."

The voice said, "Please stop. Think about what you are doing. We could save the world together. Trust me, we'll be one hell of a team."

Thomas said, "Well, I already got my one hell of a team. So shoot for the kill."

They said, "Yessir."

They started shooting at the Dundorats that were there and then Suicide Niantos appeared and Thomas saw that and shot them and the grenades flew up and then landed 5 feet ahead of him and the Dundorats ran forward and the grenades blew up, killing them and then Chelsea asked, "Why do we keep dragging their corpses out of the way, anyway?"

Thomas answered, "I believe that the UNSC Infinity will send another team after us because we haven't been on the comms for awhile. So, they'll be ready if they run out of ammo."

Bridget said, "Smart thinking, Kay."

Raven asked, "How are you so smart?"

Thomas answered, "I've been in the Navy for a long time, ladies. Let's just say that I was trained by the best."

Chelsea said, "I see."

Bridget asked, "But who do you think will be coming here to look for us?"

Thomas answered, "Unknown, but I have two guesses though."

They heard that and Thomas said, "Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris. The best two teams of the UNSC Spartan Corps. And then there's us which doesn't give a damn about how strong we are or who they are. Except for Blue Team, I like them. I've fought with them in mostly every battle in the Human-Covenant War."

They heard that and then they pushed forward and Thomas saw that there weren't that many of them out there and said, "Hm, something is wrong here."

The voice asked, "What makes you say that?"

Thomas answered, "This was a city. There should be more hiding."

Chelsea said, "Another terminal."

Thomas said, "Get to it."

Chelsea ran toward it and Thomas asked, "How did you find the terminal without even looking?"

Chelsea answered, "I can feel it from here. Plus, I have this technology that helps me out. It scans all around where technology is located."

Thomas heard that and Raven asked, "When did the UNSC give you that shit?"

Bridget answered, "They didn't. She made it herself."

Chelsea said, "Actually I had help from a friend of mine. She was a major help."

They appeared inside the building and Thomas said, "Do your thing."

She turned it on and then said, "Hm, according to this, we're currently standing in Slavokir. A city that used to be well populated with 200 million people. We always fight for each other and our friends. We're a community that loves to help people. Dr. Trevor Kingspin was a brilliant man. Created a super soldier project that would protect us from any type of annihilation. He walked around the world in just 200 days. Showing off the strength and power of what they could do. Even though I felt that there was an evil presence surrounding them and Dr. Kingspin didn't know a thing about that. After a while, humans have started disappearing for unknown reasons. Then we found out the reason why they were disappearing, the Forerunners have attacked Trivea. And one of the girls from Dr. Kingspin research was the leader of this Forerunner group. Elizabeth-000000. She's the fastest and strongest of them all. You don't want to mess with her. I gotta go now. They'll find me sooner or later. Yelokia Ranch is the safest place to be right now. Forerunner forces are unable to penetrate their defenses. Unknown how many people are there, but I gotta go find out. See you around."

As soon as she finished reading it, the voice asked, "What did the terminal say?"

Thomas heard that and smiled and said, "Nice."

Bridget said, "She didn't hear it."

Raven said, "Amazing."

Chelsea answered, "Each building with a computer hides everything from the Forerunners. Dr. Kingspin was a genius."

Thomas said, "Well, now that we know that he was a genius, we'll be heading out after bringing the bodies through the forest and leave them there for them to find them."

They said, "Yessir."

They ran out to the fallen Forerunner forces and Thomas said, "Half to the right, half to the left."

Raven and Chelsea brought half to the left and Bridget and Thomas brought the other half to the right.
