Thomas woke up and said, "Terrible dream."

Raven said, "About time you wake up."

Thomas smiled and Bridget said, "We've been travelling like this for 5 days."

Chelsea said, "My stomach is starting to hurt."

Thomas said, "Well, let's see about that."

Thomas grabbed his Tactical Combat Blade and stabbed the Vident in its neck and it collapsed and Thomas fell on top of it and stabbed it again and Chelsea saw that and then they grabbed their knives and stabbed the Vident that was carrying them and they said, "There's no getting back up from that shit."

Just outside of Washington F.Z., there was a large group of Prometheans protecting the capital. Thomas said, "As soon as we enter Washington F.Z. Chelsea, there should be a terminal in their for you to activate."

Chelsea asked, "How do you know that?"

Thomas answered, "I talked to my wife."

Bridget said, "You met your future wife."

Thomas said, "Yes. And according to her, we failed to protect time."

Raven asked, "What do you mean that we failed to protect time?"

Thomas answered, "Everyone's past changed."

Vale heard that and said, "If you met Mrs. Kay, that means that she found an antidote."

Thomas said, "Yes. I'm going to save Elizabeth."

Vale said, "Thank you. That's all I wanted from you. I'm sorry for causing you all that trouble. But because of the Kiloflagnia-II Project, she's in control of all of the Forerunners forces. Please be careful."

Thomas said, "I got it."

The Prometheans blocked the path and then said, "None shall pass unless Elizabeth permits it."

Thomas said, "I'm Captain Thomas Kay, her father."

The Prometheans said, "Spartans must die."

Thomas sighed and the Prometheans started shooting at them and they took cover. Thomas said, "Damn, these Prometheans are pissed."

Chelsea said, "Of course they are."

A Stealth Promethean appeared in front of Thomas and Vale said, "Stop. Elizabeth, you need to stop the Prometheans. They are about to kill Thomas."

Elizabeth heard that and said, "No. No. No. I don't want dad to die. Don't kill him. Don't kill my father."

The Stealth Promethean heard that and the sword was about to slice his arm off, but Thomas saw that and started shooting it and Vale smiled and said, "Thank you."

Elizabeth asked, "Is dad alright? Please tell me that he didn't get hurt because of me. I can't afford to lose him again."

Vale said, "He's alive."

Elizabeth said, "It worked."

Trevor said, "Stop defying the power that was given to you by me."

Thomas said, "Dr. Trevor Kingspin, as soon as I get there, I'm going to put a bullet through your head."

Bridget heard that and then the Stealth Promethean appeared and collapsed and said, "They got cloaks now too. What the hell?"

Vale said, "You didn't know that."

Raven answered, "The Prometheans that we know of just teleport."

Vale said, "Oh. Well, the Prometheans in our timeline can do both. But I must say one more thing about your past, sir."

Thomas said, "Spit it out. You are going to tell us even if I say no."

Vale said, "You know me too well."

Thomas said, "And that scares me. Now speak."

Vale said, "In the alternate timeline, you lose both of your arms and legs. You gain synthetic arms and legs which helped you gain control of the Prometheans in the year 2750. I believe that you are destined to lose your body parts."

Thomas heard that and then Bridget said, "Kay ain't doin that shit."

Chelsea said, "Kay needs his limbs to save Elizabeth remember."

Raven said, "Kay will not abandon anything."

Thomas said, "I will not lose my limbs just because you want me to. I lose them when I say so."

Vale sighed and said, "Sorry."

Thomas looked behind the wall and saw the Prometheans moving forward and said, "Alright. On 3, we go for it all."

The rest of Fireteam Abaddon said, "Yessir."

Thomas said, "1...2...3."

They jumped out from behind the wall and started shooting at the Prometheans. Bullets were hitting their armor and then the Promethean King appeared and asked, "Why challenge us, humans?"

Thomas answered, "Because we need to get to Elizabeth."

The Promethean King said, "No one is allowed near her except for family."

Thomas said, "Uh, I'm her father."

The Promethean King said, "Prove it then. When was she born?"

Thomas answered, "November 7, 3035."

The Promethean King asked, "What is her favorite food?"

Thomas answered, "Pepperoni Pizza."

The Promethean King said, "Her favorite color?"

Thomas answered, "Pink."

He said, "You really are her father."

A Stealth Promethean appeared behind him instead of in front of him and Thomas moved out of the way and shot the Stealth Promethean in the head and it blew up and Thomas said, "Prometheans are amazing. Aim for their heads."

They said, "Yessir."

They started shooting at them and the Promethean King screeched and shot his Z-205 Directed Heavy Automated Launcher (Beam Launcher) at them and Thomas and Chelsea jumped out of the way and the ground exploded and they flew to the side screaming and then Bridget and Raven looked at each other and ran toward Thomas and Chelsea and lifted them up carrying them away and asked, "Are you ok?"

Thomas shook his head and answered, "Yeah. That hurt like a bitch."

Chelsea said, "We're going to need to use some massive ass artillery to beat his ass."

Thomas said, "Well, we got just that."

Chelsea heard that and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Thomas answered, "We got the G58 Viper Nades. Let's use them to defeat this thing."

Vale said, "That's a Promethean King. They are very dangerous."

Thomas sighed and then said, "Alright, let's do this."

They pulled the grenades out, but Thomas took out the G743 Viper Nades, while they took out their G58 Viper Nades and pulled the pin and yelled, "Fire in the hole."

They landed around him and Fireteam Abaddon took cover and then Thomas said, "Boom."

The 4 grenades blew up causing a massive explosion and everyone around a 2 million mile radius heard that and Vale said, "Sir, you just awoke the entire goddamn neighborhood."

Thomas said, "No, we just woke up a 2 million mile radius monster known as the Stampede of Death. And they are all headed after us."

Chelsea asked, "Is that the reason why you wanted to use those grenades?"

Thomas answered, "Nope. The reason why I wanted to use those grenades were that they were the only thing strong enough to defeat them."

Bridget said, "Man, I'm glad that we don't live in their timeline."

Raven said, "Monehi, Kay already mentioned that our timeline has changed already. They are already in our timeline now."

Chelsea said, "Meaning that we shouldn't have ever stepped foot on this planet."

Thomas said, "Exactly."

Raven said, "We need to hurry up then."

They got out of cover and saw that the Promethean King was destroyed and moved forward.
