Inside Prison Cell, 2 days later
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These past few days in here have been hell. I killed a man. I never wanted to. I just wanted to die. The day after Howard's death was probably the worst. I wouldn't eat, sleep, or do anything. I would just stare at the wall. I still wonder, what's going to happen to us next?
"Hey slugs, Cognan wants to see you." Said an Elite. Everyone got up except me. I was still traumatized by the incident. "Get up!" I still wouldn't move. He raises his Plasma Rifle to my forehead. "Or do I have to tell Cognan that his favorite slug was a victim to a weapons 'malfunction'?" I slowly get up, I wanted out so badly. I was walked along of what seemed an endless maze of hallways. When we finally reach our destination the door opens out the outside. Light. I craved the light. The warmth on my skin, it was divine. We are placed in a row in front of 7 Elites. They raise their guns at us.
"What the hell is going on?" Asked Sam.
"I'm sorry slugs, but our division is moving back." Said Cognan.
"So?" I then realized what was going to happen.
"They can't keep us as POW's Sam." I said gloomily.
"….You mean."
"Yes. They are going to kill us."
"Very clever Gill, I wish I could keep you. But its duties first. I will have to kill you." Said Cognan.
"Not on my watch jackass!" Yelled a voice. Soon after gunshots were heard. Cognan was shot right through the head.
"Sergeant Johnson!" Yelled Sam. I turn to where she's looking and see a tall Black man with an army cap on and a cigar in his mouth. Behind him appears a very familiar man. 6"5, shaved head with a brown full beard.
"Gill!" Said the man. "Nice to see your ass in one piece!" Now I know where I've seen him!
"Gerg!" I said to him. "Nice to see you again!" I walk up to him and give him a playful noogie.
"You guys all right?"
"We're just fine; just get us the hell outta here!" Sam blurted out.
"Well it's nice that your fine, but you're not going to a base anytime soon." Said Johnson
"What the hell do you mean?" Asked Jesse with a frustrated look on his face
"Well here is the story: Cortana believes this place is some sorta mass-weapon of destruction. Dubbed Halo. This ring has the power to kill all humanity in one foul shot."
"That's preposterous!" Yelled Jesse with extreme anger on his face
"I'm afraid not, our current mission is to retrieve Commander Keyes from The Pillar of Autumn and get any remaining survivors off." Said Gerg
"Alright, mount up!" Yelled Johnson

On the Pelican Divine Thunder
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright I can't believe I'm already headed back in action right after I was rescued. Ah well, better than staying in that shithole. I can't help but notice a certain figure inside. Pretty tall, wearing some sort of green armor. You can't see any skin of his character. Who the hell is he?
"Hey Gerg," I whisper in his ear "Who's that fella over there? With the green armor?"
He looks at me curiously "You mean you don't know?"
"No, I don't. I've been stuck in a damn prison for what? 5 days?"
He chuckles "Well he's the last remaining Spartan. Spartan-117 A.K.A Master Chief to be exact."
"Well I'll be damned!" I accidentally blurted out getting some strange stares from the others on the Pelican.
"Hey boys we're gonna arrive at the LZ in one minute!" Yelled the Co-Pilot
"Alright here you guys go." Johnson tosses each Sam, Jesse, and I an Assault Rifle.
"Alright men" Said Johnson
"Excuse me?" Glared Sam
"Alright men and LADY." Said Johnson with much emphasis "When we touchdown I want you to follow the Chief and me. Keep it tight. Oorah?"
"OORAH!" We all yell. Another goddamn fight to go through.
"Touchdown boys! Go go go!" We all scramble out of the Pelican to see 2 more squads of marines. We follow the Chief along a cliff path over looking a Covenant outpost.
"Wait for the Chief to make the first shot, then give em' hell!" Said Johnson. I take aim at a Shade Turret and wait for the shot. I didn't take long till I heard the sound of sniper fire and I fired along with the other marines.
"Woo! Kill them little bastards!" Yelled Sam
"Hehe, feisty one aint' she?" Said Gerg
"She can be at times" I said "But usually she's nice."
"Alright advance!" Said Johnson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several minutes of fighting later……
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We lost a couple of men in the fighting toward here, but luckily no one I actually care about. What puzzled me though is that every time the Chief got shot, he never died. Some sorta static went around him. Weird I'll have to admit, but he's one hell of a fighter. Glad he's on our side! Another thing that puzzled me is that there is some sorta glowing tube leading up to The Pillar of Autumn. I saw it take the Chief and some others up to there but I was still unsure.
"Alright, everyone else in!" Yelled Gerg.
"You really fucking expect me to go up there?" Said a very reluctant Sam. "What if I fall?"
"Then our friend Gill will have to catch you then, won't he?" Wait, when the hell did I get involved?
"Great…" Sam said sarcastically "Now I feel safe!" What the hell was that suppose to mean? No matter, for we all step onto the platform and was whisked up into the stars.
