Chapter 3
The Vortex between Worlds
Yayap was walking back to this room back in the Pathogen of Death, when an Elite in blue armor walked up to him, "You are wanted at the mess hall maggot." And he walked by the Grunt. Yayap wondered what he was needed for while moving towards the hall and opened the doors. Inside there was an Elite in black armor with bandages wrapped around his head.
"Sit down." He ordered, not asked. Yayap did as he was told and sat. "I did some file checking a little while back," the Elite continued, "and found that your father, Yayap the first, had served my father, Zuka 'Zamamee the first. Your father had saved my father from a raid on a human vessel a long time ago. It seems that history repeats itself."
"Excuse me your Excellency?" Yayap said confused, "Repeat?"
"Why of course!" The Elite roared, "You had saved my life when we were ambushed by the humans on their planet." The Elite stood up and walked around the room, "I did some checking on the human with special armor, and it seems he was responsible for the deaths of both our fathers on the ring planet Halo."
Yayap, the second, sat up straight when he heard his fathers' name. The Elite continued, "My father had gotten the council's permission to go after the human in special armor and was allowed to bring your father as his right hand man."
Yayap stood from his chair and cried, "I would be honored to assist you in the death of this human!"
"That's what I'd thought you say." The Elite replied with a smile.
The Master Chief sat in the Warthog with three other marines. Behind him were two more Warthogs and two Scorpion tanks. Each tank had one driver/gunner and two marines on each side. The Marines were ODST troops, more advanced then the normal marines, so they'd provide better back-up. Each Warthog was manned with armor piercing 12.7mm three-barrel machine gun and had M 19 SSM man-potable rocket launchers with extra rockets. Each Warthog had one marine with equipped with a sniper rifle, while the other Marines held MA5B Assault Rifles and a few grenades. Two Marines on both tanks carried shotguns. Master Chief was equipped with a MA5B Assault Rifle and a M6D pistol with a few fragmentation grenades.
"How far are we from the energy readings?" The Master Chief asked Cortana,
"A few more meters." The A.I. replied,
"I'm still not sure you should be here." The Master Chief said,
"Hey, I wanted to come on my free will. Besides even if the Covenant did capture me, which they won't, what will they take from me? The coordinates of Earth? Ha!"
"I suppose your right."
They continued driving when they reached a large hill where they parked at. The ODST soldiers inside the Warthog with Master Chief got out.
"Marines in the rear," the Chief radioed, fearing that Covenant might here him if he talked aloud, "stay in position until I give the signal."
"You got it chief." A Marine replied and the com was cut. The Master Chief walked up over the ridge and saw a large black portal. There were a few Jackals on guard duty, but no signs of any real threat.
"Move in." The Master Chief radioed in.
In the hills on the opposite side of the vortex, Zuka 'Zamamee and Yayap, using binoculars, watched as the human in special armor and the other humans approach the vortex, killing the Jackals.
"The plan is working Excellency." Yayap whispered,
"Indeed it is. The vortex shall send the wretched human to an unknown galaxy and the snipers we set up shall destroy the controls as soon as he walks through."
"Readings indicate that this vortex leads somewhere, it's safe to move through it." Cortana said,
"Let's just see where this leads." The Chief said motioning a Warthog and a tank to move forward, he jumped into his own Warthog and they drove through the black portal.
Private Michael Fitzgerald watched as the marines enter the black portal and waited. A good five minuets went by and he saw something bright in the corner of a hill. "Snipers! Get down!" he yelled and everyone ducked for cover as the Elites shot at the marines.
"No fools!" 'Zamamee radioed, "Stick to destroying the control panel! Before the humans return!"
'Zamamee and Yayap looked through their binoculars once again and saw the control panel burst into flames as plasma fire was shot at it.
"Good! Now get on your Banshee's and retreat." With that said 'Zamamee stood up and Yayap followed him as he led him to another Banshee and they drove out of there.
Private Fitzgerald cursed as he looked at the burning controls. He tried to radio to the Chief, "Chief can you hear me? Hello? Chief!" A bright light suddenly flashed and the marines covered their eyes. They looked up and saw someone in a metal suit, but it wasn't Master Chief.
"Where am I?"
Samus had walked through the vortex and after seeing a flurry of electric lights and purple flashes, she had blacked out. She regained consciousness again when a bright light flashed in at her face. And she woke up to find herself standing around a large group of men. They looked like they were armed, but she had never seen the types of weapons that they held.
"Where am I?" she said in confusion.
"Stay where you are!" A man yelled raising his weapon, as did all the other men, "Put you hands in the air!"
Samus remember her right arm was a weapon, and knew she might get some answers if she played her cards right. She slowly raised her hands into the air and the men approached her.
"Take him back to base. I want one tank and one Warthog guarding this portal with six ODST troops here." And the man who barked the orders climbed into the vehicle she was put into along with one more soldier and they drove off to what they referred to as 'base'.
Sergeant Marvin Marcus sat at his desk, checking over some files when a young woman knocked on his door. "Sir?" she said,
"Yes marine?" he said,
"Sorry to interrupt you sir," she continued, "but a group of marines from the Master Chiefs unit are requesting permission to see you, they say it's urgent. They have with them a U.F.A."
"U.F.A.?" the Sergeant asked,
"An unidentified foreign alien." The private replied.
"Send them in."
"Yes sir."
