Hey guys, it's been almost a year since I started this story, so I decided to stop being a lazy bum and give you guys CHAPTER 2! Here you go. Please review.
"Finish the Fight"Ch. 2 "Dazed and Confused"
"Sir. Finishing this fight."
"And how exactly do you plan to do that Chief?"
"With all due respect Admiral, I don't have time to go into detail. I have reason to suspect that there are captured Marines on this cruiser, and my first objective is to rendezvous with them Sir."
"Very well Chief," replied Hood, "Godspeed"
"We're going to need more than God." The Chief thought to himself.
With his newly acquired shotgun ammo and rocket launcher the Chief began searching for the captive Marines.
He left the cargo bay and proceeded down a dimly lit hallway. He moved quietly and carefully so that he wouldn't make too much noise.
"Where is the prison hold?" He thought to himself.
He noticed what seemed to be a map carved neatly into one of the walls. According to the map the prison cells were further down the corridor and up two levels.
"Wow this is going pretty well, I haven't encounter any Covenant resistance yet."
He approached a "T" shaped intersection. Just when he was passing by the intersection, the ship's COM system boomed out a loud grumbling voice.
"RRRRAAAGHH!!!! The Demon has been spotted on the third level, port side. All troops in the area neutralize this threat! We must not let him jeopardize The Great Journey!"
"Oh, come on, you've got to be fu-"
Suddenly the door beside him lit up and hissed open. On the other side was an extremely pissed off Brute.
"Well, hello there Beautiful."
"RRRRRRAAAAAGH!!!! DEMON!!!"
The brute swung at the Chief with all its might. The Spartan quickly dodged the lethal blow and moved out of melee distance. The Chief then unholstered his pistol. At the same time the Brute unholstered his brute plasma rifle.
They both began to open fire on each other. Red blobs of scorching hot plasma peppered the area the Chief occupied. A few glanced his shields causing them to whine an alert that he was sustaining considerable damage. The Chief began to unload on his attacker. The behemoth seemed to absorb the bullets like a sponge.
"Dammit, why won't you die?"
Bullets pinged and plasma splashed over the bulkhead. Suddenly the fire stopped as the Chief had to reload his pistol, and the Brute's rifle overheated.
The Chief was quicker. He reloaded his gun and began to fire at the Brute's arm. A bullet struck the plasma rifle knocking it out of the Brute's hands.
The Brute looked down in disbelief at his hand, and then roared in defiance. He began to charge up the hallway towards the Chief.
Time seemed to slow down.
The Chief saw it all, the Brute charging, blood running down its legs, the crazed look in its eyes as it jumped towards the Chief. He only had seconds to react. He unslung his shotgun and aimed it at the airborne Brute only inches away from him.
"Pee-ka-boom Bitch." He growled as he pulled the trigger.
BOOM! The shotgun echoed through out the hallway. The 12-guage shell ejected from the barrel, flying towards the Brute's forehead. It passed through his head plate easily, and blew the top of the Brute's head off. His body spun backwards from the force of the shot and landed with a 'thud' at the Chief's feet.
One of the Brute's eyeballs rolled forward and stopped at the Chief's foot.
"Heh, heh, it's a Kodak moment."
At that the Chief turned to sprint down the hallway towards the lift. He could hear the roars of more Brutes behind him. And he could hear the stutter and whine of their plasma rifles spewing out molten death towards him.
He could see the lift ahead, and he pushed himself to run faster. He was feet from the door when a plasma bolt hit him square in between the shoulder blades. He flew forward and landed on the ground. He began to skid along the floor. His shield acting like a sled.
Sparks flew out behind him as he continued into the lift. He spun around of his back, took out his pistol and began to unload on the lift control.
The control pad sparked and smoked as the gates began to close. He could see the other Brutes though the gap in the gates as they finally came to a close. He could immediately hear pounding on the other side.
The lift started moving up. The Chief let out a big sigh of relief and readied him self for what was to come.
"Hey, I just realized I haven't had anything to eat in the past 24 hours. Man I'm hungry"
Well, did you like it? It's a lot better than the last chapter, longer too, and more actiony. Well please leave a review.
