Tier 1 Chapter 3 Version 3
"If they're not krawl, then what-" Rallen cut himself off as he turned around. Standing there in the middle of their ship's wreckage was a strange looking creature with what appeared to be a weapon.
"What is that thing?" Jeena asked.
"If you don't know, I don't know," Rallen replied.
"Maybe it's friendly..." Jeena suggested taking a step closer.
The creature put its beady, red eye up to the side of the weapon and fired at them. The green pulse of energy moved slowly enough to allow Rallen and Jeena time to jump out of the way.
"Maybe not," Rallen said in possibly the most cliché way ever.
The creature squealed as he hastily fired off a series of shots in the general direction of Rallen and Jeena. Then the weapon began to overheat and it took a while for the creature to fire its next shot. During this delay, Rallen called out Dongiga from his Prizmod.
"If it's going to attack us, we'll just have to attack it! Iku ze!" Rallen shouted as he leapt towards this strange opponent.
The tiny creature, seeing the gargantuan creature coming after it, screamed and fled from his foes. As it ran, its arms flailed above its head wildly. Dongiga, after a command from Rallen, fired his special move. His gullet inflated as a grumbling noise could be heard. Before the creature could run out of range, it was run over by a large cluster of lava rocks.
"That was completely unnecessary, Rallen!" Jeena shouted at her grinning partner. "It easily could have been a misunderstanding."
"How was that a misunderstanding?" Rallen asked in disbelief. "you said it might be friendly so it shot at us!"
"It didn't fire until I got close to it, there's still a possibility that it was just curious about us." Jeena explained. "Of course we can't exactly figure it out now, can we?"
Rallen hated it when she was right, which was almost always.
"C'mon," Rallen said, changing the subject, "with any luck the bio-scanner will still be in one piece."
Though they didn't find the bio-scanner, Rallen and Jeena did find another ship rech nearby. This ship had been smooth like theirs, but had an eerie purple color to it. Scattered around the wreckage were cryo-stasis pods. One of them was open and had an empty drawer inside.
"You don't think that creature we saw came down in this pod, do you?" Jeena asked no one in particular. She knew Rallen wasn't paying attention.
The red haired pilot had began looking for the remains of the cockpit. He found a good-sized piece of it lodged between two rocks. There was some strange writing on the control panels. He called his partner over to help him dislodge the chunk of metal.
"Can you translate it?" Rallen asked after almost five minutes of Jeena scanning the symbols.
"I think so, but it doesn't all make sense." She checked her scanner one more time and began reading. " 'Covenant Battle Cruiser Alpha-G 707, Armory class 2. Built to carry Grunts and Elites along with one or fewer Flood.' That's all it says."
"Maybe some other part of the ship will help us make sense of this." Rallen suggested.
Jeena walked over to one of the cryo-stasis pods and began to scan the surface. As her scanner interface passed over the locking mechanism of the pod, it unlocked itself. This must have sent some sort of signal, because the rest of the pods also began to open.
"Jeena," Rallen asked out of terror, "what did you do?"
Oh no! What will happen next? You decide! This is an interactive fanfic, meaning that the readers leave comments/reviews about what they want to happen next.
