"You are lucky to be alive LT. With the injuries that you have sustained would have killed a normal soldier." Halsey told me. " Good thing I'm not a normal soldier, I'm a Spartan." I told her.
I don't know if she forgot that I had the augmentations, and I don't think she knew Kelly was in the room because she said. "That's debatable." Again Kelly was faster than I was. "She just wiped out more covies out there than anybody else in this fucking bunker, she lost her whole team besides Jun defending Reach and was ready to sacrifice herself to kill as many of the fuckers as she could before she died. And you have the guts to say that its debatable if she is a Spartan or not, she is just as much a Spartan as I am!" she said. I looked over to see Dr. Halsey was stunned that one of her Spartans had spoken out to her. I just looked at her for a second then I said "Yea, what she said bitch."
Dr. Halsey called for Fred and I was worried that he was going to say something to me and Kelly for talking to the evil Dr. All he said was that he couldn't say anything to me because I out ranked him and that Halsey, while the founder of the Spartan program, she was still a civilian and there was nothing that he could do that she would have to file a formal report and wait until they were found before he could do anything to either one of us.
After a week of waiting around for my wounds to heal I was able to repair my armor. I was able to find a replacement helmet in the supplies that we had been gathering up, it wasn't my preferred helmet, the operator variant with a CNM (Command Network Module) But it was a JFO with a CNM and a mission camera. My shoulder guards were ODST, a gift from the Bull Frogs. Chest plate was repaired and I added a few more pouches to the Tactical/Recon set up. I added a spare holster underneath my right arm for a spare M6G Magnum along with open top mag pouches for both my M392 DMR and my twin Magnums. On my right wrist I had my TACPAD. On my left I had an energy dagger that ONI had put in my armor after one of my lone wolf missions before I joined Noble Team. My knee guards were FJ/PARA. My visor was black. The over all color of my armor was a very dark gray.
"Hey Fred, how did your patrol go?" I asked.
"Same as before, nothing to report. You and Kelly getting ready to head out ma'am?" He asked
"Yea, finely fully healed and ready for some action, even if it is just walking. And cut out the ma'am crap, the name is Tonya or Six." I said.
"Alright Tonya, take it easy, don't over work your recently healed injuries." he said as he swiped two fingers over his visor in a Spartan smile.
I returned the smile and went in search of Kelly. I walked right by her and didn't even know it, she had her helmet off and was looking at her DMR making sure it was in working order. When she looked at me I was left speechless, she was beautiful. She had blue hair with black streaks in it. Her eyes were the prettiest orbs of gray I have ever seen. Her hair was pretty short, not as short as Kat's was but not much longer. "You going to stand there and stare or are you going to talk to me?" she asked with a smile.
"Sorry about that, your real easy on the eyes, uh I mean um shit, now I'm blushing, are you ready?" I asked.
"You sure a up front about some things ain't ya." She asked with another smile
"I don't have that little filter that tells me to shut the hell up. Gets me in trouble all the time. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable." I said while looking at the ground.
"No worries, your pretty easy on the eyes as well. And yea I'm ready to head out." she said. And with that we set out for our patrol.
Kelly's Pov.
She was more than easy on the eyes. The moment I saw her red hair and green eyes I knew that I was going to do everything I could to save her and be there for her in whatever capacity she wanted me to be to her. I can't believe queen bitch had the F-ing nerve to say she wasn't a Spartan. I wanted to break her jaw. She better be glad we have great self control because she don't know how close she came to needing her mouth repaired.
"So your into women huh?" I asked her.
"Yea, I know we are not supposed to have those kinds of urges, or feelings but I have since I could remember. That doesn't bother you does it?" She replied.
"No, I'm in the same boat. In truth I'm the only one to say that I had the urge to look at other people with more than friendly thoughts go through my head. The augmentations that are meant to repress those urges didn't work on me. And as far as I know I'm the only one of the II's that are that way." I told her.
"Jun is the same as me, they may have decided we needed more humanity than you guys, no offense. I don't really know why, we weren't expected to live for long. Expendable super soldiers. That's what they called us." she said.
"Well that's a load of shit. You guys are good. Jun is probably the second best shot I've worked with and your ability rivals the MC. Why waste talent like that for nothing." I said.
"I don't think that they thought that LC Ambrose or CPO Mendez would train us to the level that we were trained. The LC was a Spartan II, his name was Kurt. Last I heard they were still training Spartan IIIs." she said.
"Did you say Kurt, he was on Blue Team for a while. And CPO Mendez was our head trainer as well. No wonder you guys are so good, you had good trainers." I told her.
" We hated them for so long, now I'm happy that we had the trainers that we had. I'm the Spartan I am today because of the people who taught me everything that I know." she said with pride.
We continued on for what seemed like miles, but there was no way to know exactly how long because it all looked the same. We talked about almost everything that came to mind. We were walking along talking about our favorite weapons from the past and Tonya was in the middle of explaining her favorite AR.
"The CM-901 was a great improvement due to the higher caliber. I mean the HK 416 and the SCAR-H were great weapons but the versatility of the 901 was to great to pass up. I got mine at an insurrectionist base, the commander had it in a collection with several replica's of guns from that age. All of them have been chambered to take our ammo. These are not the originals as you can tell by the weight, I had them custom made out of the same material that the MA5's are made out of so they'll be strong enough to take the punishment we deal out to our weapons."." she said.
"Really, hell yea. I've always dreamed of having one." I said to her. She pulled her pack off and pulled out the sweetest gun I've ever seen, I mean I have seen pictures of them but never one in real life.
"Here you go, she's all yours" She said with a grin.
Tonya's Pov
The look on her face when I handed her the SCAR-H will be one of the best times in my life. I wanted to be able to make her happy every chance that I could.
"We walked and talked about several other things until we seen something that just didn't look right. "Do you see that?" I asked her. "Yea, what the hell is that?" she replied.
"Fred, we found something that the good Dr needs to look at setting a way point now. We'll stay put till you guys get here." I said into our team net.
"Let's take a closer look." I said. "Roger that, I got your back Six." she said. All professional now.
We started towards the weird portal. It was inside some kinda statue that looked like a tuning fork pointed to the ceiling with to rings rotating around each other with a bright blue colored orb of energy or plasma in the middle of the rings.
"Are your censers picking up the same readings that mine are." I asked Kelly.
"Yea, but I think we are going to have to get a closer to get a more accurate reading." she replied.
We walked to within about 20 meters all of a sudden and then we started to fell some kind of force pulling us towards the artifact, the harder we tried to get away from it the harder it pulled. We were within ten feet when the others came through the passage we had just been in. Fred started to sprint towards us just before we were pulled into the orb and then everything went black.
Fred's Pov
We watched the two Spartans get pulled into the artifact. As soon as they were pulled into the middle of it the thing started to shake really bad. And then the middle just went dark as the ring disintegrated and the rest just stated to fall apart. I had just watched to of the finest Spartans I've ever none disappear into, well hell I don't know where. But there had to be a reason for it. Where ever they were going the people there were in for a show with those two on the terror.
Tonya's Pov
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!" I screamed. I was in more pain than a think I've ever been in. Everything hurt. "I have never hurt this much" Kelly said. As soon as I heard her voice my pain vanished for the worry I had for her. "Are you all right?" I asked.
"I'm good, pains starting to go away, where the hell are we?" Kelly asked.
"I have now idea. Wherever we are they are under attack. Can you hear the gunshots, they sound different from anything I've ever heard and I don't hear plasma discharging." I said.
"Yea, hey look that ship just dropped of some soldiers lets go see if they can tell us where we are and we can help them if they need it." Kelly said.
Shepard's Pov
"Shepard there was just a huge energy surge about a klick to your south, you might want to check it out." Captain Anderson said.
"Yes sir, we will look into it now, Jenkins your on point, head to the south." I said.
"Yes ma'am." Jenkins said and head to the south.
We had made it about half way before we heard something coming towards us. When we saw what it was the only thought that came to mind was WTF!
