[Finally the next chapter of the nightmare mission has arrived. All who read this story please be sure to tell others to check out this story so it can get some more popularity. Well here we go.
I do not own Halo or Aliens because I am poor.
"Black Knight wake up!" Selena yelled at me.
"Ohh what happened…. Wait I remember now you told me to jump down this elevator shaft to avoid the xenomorphs and now we are down here in what appears to be a sewer system." I quickly recapped as I gained my bearings of where I was.
This sewer was dimly lit the bodies of dead xenomorphs littering the murky green sewage making it nearly impossible to tell whether the aliens were dead or alive. I was glad that my helmets filtration systems were fully functional, or the smell would have been horrendous, especially since I was up to my waste in this gunk. I activated my armors flash light and got to moving. Needless to say my nerves were already on edge.
"You always do take me to the trashiest places don't you? Green Knight only gives me the best." Selena teased angering me.
"You're not funny, Selena you could have gotten me killed earlier, I'm not your little pathetic boy friend, oh wait you got him killed too remember? Noble Six and Master Chief never have to deal with this crap with their AIs." I snapped
"Gee I'm sorry." Selena somberly told me.
"Selena leave the rest of this up to me ok. I didn't mean to snap like that but this is serious and we need to get serious. I want you to try and get into contact with the UNSC frigate Cold Storm ok. "I replied gently trying not to aggravate her in this already compromised state.
"Black Knight what are you going to do." Selena asked me worriedly.
"I'm going to get us out of here."
"Yes sir." Was all Selena could reply.
Black Knights Journal entry: Selena was something else. Unlike other AIs that relied relatively on logic to keep their Spartan teams alive Selena always had a bad knack for relying on her emotions much like many humans. Unfortunately Selena's emotions never seemed to be a help and often brought us down. Sometimes I wish I never let Green Knight convince me to allow an AI on the team. Still Selena was family and needed to be treated as such. Still unlike Jesael Milo hates her. I think it may be that he lost a valued friend when she was assigned to us but if Selena doesn't get a hold on her emotions things will get unsavory real fast. Entry over
Back with Milo.
"Well that escalated quickly." Milo yelled as he crushed two xenomorphs with his armored foot as he hopped out of the air vents.
"Alright after I meet up with the Black Knight we'll get out of here. Oh Green Knight you idiot… you had to die didn't you." Milo thought to himself.
Milo began to walk down the halls of LV-426 which because of power loss had now switched to its back up generator creating a very low lit blue glow throughout the base. He continued his walk until he heard the distant crying of a young boy. When he investigated the noise (which was emanating from a weapons closet) he saw a small boy about ten years old with brown hair and eyes curled into a ball weeping quietly to him self. Milo knew how it felt to be cold, alone and in fear so he felt almost obligated to sympathize with this young one.
"Kid what is wrong?" Milo said as he kneeled down to look the kid in the eye.
"Timmy Jorden…" The kid looked up at Milo tears streaming down his face.
"Well my name is Ismael but you can call me Milo. Where is your family?" Milo asked softly not trying to frighten the boy. Instead of a reply Milo only saw the boy break back down to tears.
"Oh no…" Milo said to himself removing his helmet to look the boy in the eyes to try and soothe him. "I'm sorry but don't worry if you stick with me you will be ok."
"Ok." The boy responded as Milo wiped the tears from his eyes and lifted the boy onto his shoulders.
The two began to walk through the empty corridors of the base the walls were covered in blood with the occasional dead body strewn on the floor. Despite this, what really shocked them was there were two humans wearing blacks mask clad in white heavy duty armor and holding weapons of which Milo had never seen.
"Who are you?" Milo asked.
"Fire!" The troops replied firing a weird three round burst weapon at Milo.
Instinctively Milo pushed Timmy back into the closet giving him room to get to work. The Silver knight evaded the bullet fire and after throwing his empty shotgun into one of his attackers he delivered a barrage of bone crushing punches. He then unsheathed his combat knives and jabbed it through his opponents skull staining the troopers uniform a bright red.
"Who are these guys?" The Silver knight thought to himself as he examined the dog tags of these two troopers which read "WEYLAND KUTANI MERC CORPS…" followed by the troopers name.
"Wait I thought the Weyland Kutani were the ones who sent the distress signal, why would they fire at me?" Milo tried to think this through as he retrieved the Weylands strange guns called assault rifles (almost the opposite of the UNSC assault rifle) which operated on three round burst technology along with a light flamethrower attachment.
"Timmy you can come out now." Silver knight yelled awaiting Timmy's appearance.
"I thought they had killed you." Timmy reasoned his tears back.
"It'll take more than them to kill me." Milo explained with a laugh.
"Black Knight, Silver Knight come in! Do you read me? Oh come on answer me!" A familiar voice frantically yelled.
"I read you Green Knight" I responded on the com link my joy of him being alive very evident.
"Julian listen get over here now they got me. If you don't hurry I'm going to be aahhhhhhh!" Green Knight yelled in pain before his com went to static.
"Green Knight respond… Jesael respond now!" It was too late, I was too late or was I?
"Black Knight what do we do?" the Silver knight asked me over our com link.
"Milo get over to Jesael immediately he may still be alive, remember we never leave a knight behind." I ordered urgently.
"What are you going to do Black Knight?" Milo asked curiously.
"I'm going to meet up with you after I get out of the sewers, right now just double time it over there Selena should upload his transmissions last coordinates." I hurriedly explained.
"How the heck did you get in the sewers?" Milo questioned.
"I'll explain later just get over there." I was now yelling.
"I'm not going anywhere that Selena says I should go." Milo retorted stubbornly.
"Are you kidding me Jesael needs you, get over you microagressions for Selena and Go!" I now was boiling with anger at Milo's unbelievably defiance at my orders.
"Wait I know where your friend might be." Timmy interjected.
"Where is he?" Milo now turned his attention to Timmy.
"The monsters keep their eggs in the boiling room twenty floors below here. If you hurry you might be able to save your friend." Timmy reasoned.
"Ok… I trust you but stay behind me; we don't know what is lurking down there." Milo warned. "Ok Black Knight I'm on my way." Milo signed off rushing to what could be his last journey.
Back with the Black Knight (me)
After the transmission I slowly walked through the sewers my senses on high alert. Although I was highly trained in martial arts and my strength augmentations, I still was at a disadvantage when facing the xenomorph menace given their acid blood which easily would eat through my combat shields. Still I kept a steady yet moderate pace until I noticed a pale object floating in the water. It was a young girl that had pale skin (most likely from being drowned in the water) and dirty blonde hair. I ran over to the girl checking her pulse to see if she was alive. She was breathing but barely. I pounded the girl chest forcing the sewage out of her lungs and after a few minutes of this she coughed and her blue eyes slowly opened. The girl shrieked in fear at the sight of me kicking and screaming to break my grip off of her. After seeing that my grip wouldn't be broken by her she settled down long enough for me to get her to talk.
"Who are you little girl, are you ok?" I asked gently
"Newt… my name is Newt." The girl hesitated.
"Well my name is Tugh but my friends and family call me Julian… you can call me Julian young one." I explained.
The girl did not respond as her face was frozen on a new more grotesque image. A new breed of xenomorph with sickly green skin and steaming boils attached to its back began to walk in our direction. Normally I would run but something about this xenomorph told me to do the exact opposite. I held newt in my arms stopping her from moving. The heat emanating from this creature was immense as I felt my hands begin to burn even under my armors gloves. I could only imagine what Newt was going through. Her pale face was now a bright crimson red and she looked about ready to scream. I covered her mouth to prevent the beast from hearing us. After passing by us the monster soon continued its walk to a nearby electrical line in which it was fried to a crisp.
"Can I let go of you now?" I asked the girl.
"hhhhmhhhmhmhmmmmmm!" Newt shook her head as if saying a definite no.
I then noticed several more of the same xenomorphs heading my direction all attracted by Newts muffled cries.
This was not going to end well.
Transmission over
There is chapter 3 of the Nightmare mission and boy is this a long one. We rescued Newt and her brother from the original Aliens film, a very pleasant twist if I do say so myself. The Weyland Kutani has finally made their debut and things are going to be hell for the Knights. Well keep reviewing and until next chapter Rogue is out.
