AN: this chapter was used as a filler and to inroduce the city

Central

"Oh sorry" John Connor said obviously surprised "I heard that you where dead"

"Well, I was captured but I'm still alive, thanks to them." Stepping aside to reveal Delta Force as he said it.

"What where you doing this time?" John asked "trying to fight the war personally?"

"No but I have some information that I need to tell you and the President." Eisenhower said. Then he added "I'll fill you in when I land. We have a bit of a time limit"

"Right. Head for your usual landing sight I'll meet you there." John said as he cut the transmission.

About an hour later they were in the transport heading for the landing sight. Spartan turned as far as his harness would allow him.

"Sir, can I ask you something?" he asked.

"Ask away." Eisenhower replied.

"Who exactly is John Connor?" Spartan asked

"John is the Supreme Commander of the UAF, United American Forces."

"Oh" Spartan said "so he's not the President."

"Right" Eisenhower said "the President is Robert Kinsey. How he became President is still a mystery to me."

"Why's that?" Spartan asked

Eisenhower thought about it for a moment than said "well… lets just say he's one of those guys that has that 'American invincibility' cockiness. There were many times where I just wanted to punch him in the face"

Everyone started laughing at the image of their Commander letting lose on one of the most powerful people on earth.

In a few minuets the Transport touched down smoothly on the landing platform. Everyone got out and Titan signaled to the pilot, whose name was Jackson that he could leave. The pilot turned, saluted to them and then flew off back toward the titan.

One of the first things they noticed was that they could see Central in the distance. The city stretched along the entire horizon. Its massive buildings were lighting up the sky. There almost seemed to be no end to the city. It kind of reminded Delta Force of Coruscant from the old Star Wars films, only on a smaller scale. Eisenhower saw John Connor standing at the edge of the platform. No one had noticed that he was standing right in front of them because they were to busy staring at the city.

"It looks better up close" John said awaking everyone from the trance. "I'm John Connor, Supreme Commander of the UAF.

Titan stepped forward "I'm Captain Steffen leader of Delta Force." He turned to the rest of his team "this is Sergeant David, Corporal Nylen, and Lance Corporal Ben."

"It's an honor to finally meet the famous Delta Force." John said shaking Titan's hand "I've heard a lot about your skills in combat."

"Thank you sir" Titan said "it's an honor to meet you as well"

"We should probably get going." John said "you must be in a hurry to get back to the war."

"Not exactly" Eisenhower said "but we do have a bit of a time limit."

"Alright then follow me" John said

On one side of the platform there was a fight of stairs that led underground toward a train platform. When they got there John typed in a code into a near by panel. After a few minutes a hover train came to a stop in front of them. The doors slid open and they all got on.

"This hover train will take us to the entrance to the White House" John said "you can do your missions after the meeting with the President."

"Wait a minute" Hunter said "with all of those buildings to choose from, you rebuilt the White House?"

"It's more of a White Skyscraper now." Eisenhower answered. "You'll see what I mean"

With everyone on the doors closed and the train started to move. At first it was slow then it gradually picked up speed. Everyone had to hang on tightly. After about five minutes everyone could feel the train rising. The underground tunnel ended and Delta Force got their first view at Central.

It was amazing. They could see flying cars everywhere and tall buildings towering above them. There were some cars that weren't flying but hovering a few feet off the ground. Neon signs for different restaurants, stores, casinos, malls, movie theaters and corporations on the buildings. It was the text book vision of a futuristic city.

Delta Force brought their attention back to the front of the train and saw a large white skyscraper.

"That my friends is the White House" said John

The train finally arrived at the station underneath the White House. Once it stopped, John led everyone toward a security checkpoint. Once there everyone including John had to hand in their weapons. At one point a security guard asked them to take their armor off but john defended them and explained the situation to the guard. He must have understood because he allowed them to keep their armor on but only if they had extra security with them. Since it wasn't too much to ask they agreed but Hunter's mission was going to be impossible to do with the security around so he decided to stay with Titan.

Before they left the guard gave each of them an ID card. He explained that if they ever went out into the city they would need to use that before they left and then after in order to get in. after a quick ride in a lift they got to the floor with the oval office.

"This is where we have to separate for now" Eisenhower said "you have your orders"

"Yes sir" Spartan and Scorch said in unison. Michelle led them to the exit that led out into the city. John Connor went back into the lift and went up toward his office. Titan, Hunter and Eisenhower waited patiently for the President to finish up his earlier meeting.

They were all hoping that their missions wouldn't take too long because time was running out.
