Bridget said, "Oh god, I have a crazy idea and I don't know if it's going to work or not."

Chelsea asked, "What would that idea be?"

Bridget answered, "We plant a grenade where the core is. That might just kill it."

Chelsea heard that and said, "A sticky grenade would do, correct?"

Bridget answered, "Yes. That is perfect for the job."

Chelsea said, "Alrighty then. I'm really going to regret this."

Thomas said, "We need to act as decoys so Forbes can plant the grenade."

The Promethean Goliath turned around and Chelsea saw that and tossed the grenade over him and Thomas saw that and ran out there and jumped up using his boosters and then caught the grenade and tossed it into the core of the Promethean Goliath and then landed on it, but kicked himself off of it and Raven appeared again using her boosters this time to save him and Chelsea used her boosters pack to enter the forest again and the grenade went off and then the Promethean Goliath started roaring and then said, "Elizabeth, Thomas, forgive me for not being strong enough to protect you. I must go now."

The Promethean Goliath blew up and then 30 of the trees around the Promethean Goliath collapsed and Thomas saw that and said, "Damn. That thing packs quite the punch. Now, let's get the hell outta here before the horde of Forerunners appear to kick our asses."

Robin said, "Too late. They are already here."

Thomas looked around and said, "Alright. We're surrounded by Forerunners."

Robin said, "There's no time to be happy, sir."

Raven said, "Sir, what shall we do?"

Chelsea answered, "You already know what he's going to say, right?"

Bridget answered, "He's going to tell us to fight them all."

Thomas said, "Not fight, Monehi. Kill them all. Kill sounds a lot better, don't you think?"

They smiled and said, "Let's do it."

Everyone started shooting at them and then the Vidents appeared and then Bridget punched one into the ground and shot it in the head 5 times and it stopped moving and then Thomas grabbed one and used it as a shield and the bullets all hit the Vident and killed him and Thomas said, "At least we know how to kill these things now."

Elizabeth said, "Don't let them through."

Thomas heard that and said, "You really are a pain in the ass."

Vale said, "Sir, please don't say that. She's trying really hard to fight the doctors grasps."

Thomas said, "I know that, Henry. Just shut up and let us fight."

Bullets were flying everywhere and then Chelsea said, "We're running out of ammo."

Bridget said, "Grab one of the enemy weapons till we get through with this."

Thomas said, "Agreed. That is the best option."

Raven said, "Then get some new weapons, Forbes."

Chelsea said, "OK."

Thomas saw a Ultra Vident and said, "Interesting."

Raven said, "It's a Ultra Vident."

Thomas said, "Yep."

Thomas tossed a grenade at them and said, "Frag out."

The grenade blew up killing more than 10 of them and Bridget said, "Let's do this."

Everyone continued to toss grenades at them and then explosions occurred from all 4 directions of North, South, East, and West. Raven said, "We're less than half way through."

Thomas laughed and said, "That's so disappointing."

Raven said, "Agreed."

Robin said, "There are too many of them and they'll get through your shields."

Thomas looked ahead and said, "Hm, there is no opening for us because every time we kill one, two takes its place."

Chelsea said, "Meaning that we're trapped here."

Thomas said, "Yep. But let's enjoy this moment till we drop."

The Ultra Vidents took off and then a bullet hit Chelsea's shields and then Chelsea shot the Ultra Vident in the head and stomped on its head, crushing it and said, "Hm, it dies after stomping on its head, sir."

Thomas asked, "Is that so?"

Chelsea answered, "I just stomped on its head."

Raven smiled and said, "At least we Spartans have the strength to do that."

Bridget said, "Yep. Now we just need to train the soldiers that aren't Spartans to kill them."

Thomas said, "Yep."

Raven shot 50 of them before running out of ammo in her primary weapon and then took out her pistol and started shooting at her and said, "Here we go."

She started getting headshots and then the Dundorats and Kraters started falling and then a Promethean appeared and Thomas shot it and the Promethean vanished and Chelsea said, "This is a lot harder than we thought."

Thomas said, "Never underestimate your opponents. I really hate to admit this, but we're losing."

Bridget said, "We know that already, sir."

Raven said, "There's nothing that we could do about that."

Robin said, "Actually, there is one thing that you could try."

Thomas heard that and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Robin answered, "I've been analyzing their patterns while you were fighting them. The Dundoats have a big population compared to the rest of them. If we defeat the tough ones first, we might have a chance in this fight again."

Thomas said, "The tough ones. As in badasses."

Robin answered, "Yes. You need to take out the Degruntis, Epic Dundorats, General Dundorats, Vidents, and Ultimate Kraters."

Raven said, "It's worth a shot."

Thomas said, "Let's shoot the deadly ones."

Everyone started aiming recklessly and then shot more and more and then Chelsea ran out of ammo and charged forward with a knife and stabbed a Minor Dundorat and grabbed its weapon and started shooting at them with it and Bridget smiled and said, "Back into formation, Forbes."

Chelsea said, "Don't worry, I just got myself another weapon."

Raven said, "Yeah, we know. We're almost out of ammo too."

Thomas said, "You could say that again."

Chelsea said, "We ran out of ammo."

Raven tossed her pistol away and then grabbed a weapon from the ground and said, "Here we go. A Z-301 Anti-Turret Launcher (Beam Launcher), huh."

Raven shot 5 Degruntis down with it and said, "Damn, this thing is strong."

Thomas asked, "What?"

Raven answered, "This Beam Launcher killed 5 Degruntis with 3 hits each."

Thomas smiled and said, "Nice."

Bridget said, "Kill them all."

Raven said, "I know."

Chelsea said, "This is better than I thought."

Thomas said, "I know right."

Robin said, "Almost there."

Thomas heard that and said, "The neverending battle is about to end."

Robin answered, "Nope. You aren't even half way done yet."

Thomas said, "Hey, you had my hopes up."

Raven laughed and said, "So true."

Thomas said, "Oh well, keep it up."

An explosion occurred from behind killing more than half of the ones to their 9 o'clock and Thomas asked, "What the hell was that?"

Raven answered, "I don't know."

Robin answered, "I haven't seen anything like it before. That thing is dangerous."

Thomas said, "Take it out, Tavarez."

Raven aimed the Beam Launcher at the monster and Vale said, "That is a Ravager. A very dangerous animal on Trivea. They befriended the humans as soon as the Arcanians attacked the world."

Thomas said, "It's an animal with weapons."

Vale answered, "Nope. That's no weapon. It's hands hitting the ground did that."

Chelsea said, "That's insane."

Bridget said, "And we woke it up."

Raven said, "Shit."

Thomas said, "Lord, forgive us. Please put that monster to sleep."

An C83BR-TT Anti-Vehicle Craft (Sector) appeared and then Raven shot it out of the sky and then the Ravager continued to walk down that path and Raven said, "Shit. I'm out of ammo again."

Thomas said, "Get another weapon. Protect her."

Everyone did and Thomas started shooting at the Ravager and then the Forerunners looked at Thomas and said, "He's insane. Challenging the Ravager is suicide."

Thomas ran forward and then Raven yelled, "Sir, don't."

The Forerunners stopped shooting at them and then Thomas yelled, "This is for betraying humanity."

Thomas jumped up and punched the Ravager's face and then the Ravager moved his head a little and roared and Thomas smiled and planted a grenade in his mouth and rolled it down his throat and then the Ravager punched him and Thomas screamed and flew back and then his helmet flew off and Thomas rolled toward his people and then the grenade went off and then the Ravager roared and collapsed and Thomas said, "Don't underestimate me."

Raven saw that and said, "Sir. You defeated it."

Thomas looked at her and said, "Yeah."

Vale said, "Impressive, sir. You are simply insane. Just like our Thomas Kay. But you have more fun than him though."

Thomas asked, "Why do you say that?"

Vale answered, "Thomas Kay in our timeline pilots the UNSC Catalyst all the time and stays on the ship. You get to have fun and enjoy the action."

Thomas said, "I see. Well, he's dead now. So there is no need to worry about him now, right?"

Vale asked, "How could you say that so calmly?"

Thomas answered, "It's war. People always die in war. But I don't think they died in vain."

Vale asked, "Why do you think that?"

Thomas answered, "Someone detonated the bombs early, I believe. Just to kill John and Thomas."

Everyone heard that and then Thomas stood up slowly and then picked up a weapon and started shooting at the Forerunners that remained and said, "Whoever did it, must have really hated both Thomas Kay and John-117."

Vale said, "Like an actual soldier."

Thomas said, "There were 3 detonators for 30 bombs. Thomas and John had one. Someone else had the third one. Whoever had the third one, killed both John and Thomas."

Vale heard that and said, "I know exactly who had it. I'll contact the ship."

Thomas said, "You could do that."

Vale answered, "Yes. Elizabeth still thinks that I'm on her side, remember. Plus, she wants the man that killed her father dead."

Raven said, "I bet that she does."

Vale said, "UNSC Catalyst, this is Vale Henry on Trivea. Do you copy?"

Future Kelly-087 said, "We hear you, Henry. What's wrong?"

Vale answered, "I just figured out who killed Fleet Admiral Thomas Kay and Master Chief. With the help of the people from this timeline."

Future Kelly-087 asked, "Is that so? Who gave you such an idea?"

Vale answered, "Thomas Kay."

Future Kelly-087 laughed and said, "Alright. Who did it?"

Vale answered, "The man with the third detonator. Thomas Kay and Master Chief both had one. The third man did it."

Future Kelly-087 said, "Zack Fox."

Vale said, "Exactly."

Future Kelly-087 smiled and said, "I can't wait to see Maria's face when I tell her who did it."

Vale said, "I agree. She despises the person that killed Thomas."

Future Kelly-087 said, "You got less than 6 hours before Elizabeth dies, Vale. Do something."

Vale said, "Thomas has the antidote. So he needs time."

Future Kelly-087 said, "We don't have time. But hey, I gotta go."

Vale said, "Understood. Talk to you later, ma'am."

Future Kelly-087 said, "Talk to you later."

Vale said, "All set."

Thomas said, "Good."

Chelsea said, "You really are smart, sir."

Bridget said, "Yes, I didn't expect it to be that easy to figure it out."

Thomas said, "Once you get the facts, you know exactly what goes down. It was a trap set out for them."

Raven said, "Yep."

Vale said, "Oh yes, we have less than 6 hours to get to Elizabeth. Or she will die."

Thomas said, "Understood. We've been here for 3 hours already. Shit."

Vale said, "3 hours and 20 minutes to be exact. The next teleporter is near. Just run. As soon as you are done."

Thomas said, "With pleasure."

Thomas tossed a grenade at them and then an explosion occurred and then Raven, Chelsea, and Bridget killed the rest of them. Thomas said, "We have successfully defeated the Forerunner Horde of hell. Now let's move out to the next teleporter."

Fireteam Abaddon said, "Yessir."
