Chapter 1: Rasha Vs Master Chief
Brittany gazed at the tags as she remembered her mothers dieing words.
Flash Back
It was raining the Eliet who stabbed her mother looked at them talking to another in their native toung. The Minor shook his head, as the other went to kill her and James it caught fire. The Minor looked on in horror as his comrade died by fire "Brittany."said her mother weakly.
The six year old Brittany looked at her mother "Mommy, why isn't daddy here?"she asked tears falling from her eyes
"He is doing his duity, Brittany. Take these, they belong to your father. Don't blame him its not his fault. He is trying to keep you and your brother safe from afar."said her mother handing her the chain with her father's tags on them
"Mommy, I'm scared."said James
"Your sister will protect you, you have to watch out for eachother now."said her mother and with that she was gone.
The Eliet Minor looked at them and knelt down to their level, she looked at it. The Minor held sadness in its yellow eyes it felt sorry for them. Sounds of gun fire broke out near by and the Eliet looked at them. It reached for them and James screamed, the Eliet took them out of the rain and hid them in the barn as it ran into the woods. A man called their names it was Uncle Bucky. A bolt of lightning danced across the sky as she looked down at her father's tags, she made it her mission to make him pay.
End of Flash back
She thanked ONI for her helmet that hid the tear that rolled down her cheek, her father was on the ship and he wanted to help Halsey take not only her's and Emile's children, but all of the children. She knew where they were, the nursery. This was the last place they wanted to be "FILLIS?"she asked
"Yes Commander?"asked the ships AI
"Where are they getting off?"she asked.
I waited for the AI's reply"They will be in section three in two minuets what is the order?"asked Fillis
"Hold that lift. Buy us sometime." she said
"On it Commander."said Fillis.
Jorge touched her shoulder and she looked at him and nodded "I have a stake in this too Rasha, My children are in danger. You have to be on your gaurd 117 is not a spartan to pull punches."said Jorge.
That number was the same as...my mothers tags that she gave me 'These tags belong to your father. They brought me luck now take them and your brother and protect eachother.' said her mother before she died form the energy sword wound in her stomic. She looked at the tags 'He should have been there. To protect her...to protect us, but he wasn't! I'll make him pay.' she said to herself.
She had Isis disable Dark NOBLE's armor abilities and tore down the hall, Emile bellowing her name 'I am sorry Emile, you don't understand. I have to do this I have to face my father alone.'she said to herself knowing he would never hear her.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Emile watched as Rasha tore down the hall like a bat out of hell "She activated her sprint and deactivated all of our shit. What the hell is she thinking?"said Miko.
He looked at Morgan who shook her head and shrugged "Don't look at me."said Morgan
"Like hell I am standing around here and letting harm come to her."he said and bolted
"NOBLE TEAM LETS MOVE!"said Carter chasing after him.
He had to get to her, he had to help her. What he wanted to know above that was why she would do something like this.
DXDXDXdXDXDXDXDXDXDX
Brittany waited for Halsey, Chief, and the Mairens; that the old bat brought with her. She crossed her arms over her chest plate as the doors opened. Halsey wasn't expecting to see her standing there "Who are you Spartan?"Halsey asked snooty.
She smirked darkly under her visor "I am Rasha The Dark, Commanding officer of the UNSC Mother Of Intervention. I want you off my ship now before I throw you off."she said calmly
"Excuse me?"Halsey asked
"You, heard me you old bat. Two of those children are mine I run Freelancer now and not Ex-Director Leonard Church. I may be a Spartan III, but I'll be damned if a bitch like you will lay a hand on my children or a child of anyone under my command."she said glairing daggers at Halsey through her visor.
Chief stood right behind Halsey for a second before steping forward "John, show her she has no choise in the matter."said Halsey.
Johnson lit a cigar and she snapped her head in his direction"NO SMOKING EITHER!" she snapped and he put it out just as fast.
Chief came at her and threw a punch at and she ducked delivering a round house kick to his left side. She blocked and matched him move for move until he punched her in the stomic.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDDX
Chief
John couldn't believe how fast and strong this Spartan III was even after the blow to the stomic, she stood right back up "I guess you don't know much about we Freelancers, We make you Chief look like a Marien."she said.
She was also calm, she showed no sighns of weekness. Even though she was a spartan and had children a handful of hours ago didn't mean she was physicly able to fight she was pushing herself to protect her children. He knew the feeling, but by the time he got there he was to late, he sent both his son and daughter away to an orphenange. He hoped that they weren't spartan's "Give up, your puting your body through to much stress."said Halsey
"You should have been there for us, when we needed you, you were no where to be found. Because of you she is dead and its all your FAULT!"she roared the last part and came at him in a flerry of fists and kicks.
He blocked it was like she found a whole new gear all togeather, and what she said what did it mean? He got her in a head lock and she broke it, damn she was good. She spin kicked him in the chest and he went flying back "Com'on Chief, your pulling the same stunt you did with Sammy."said Avery.
The Steel and Blue commando froze at that name "HOW DARE YOU BRING MY MOTHER'S NAME INTO THIS!"she snarled and it was his turn to frezee.
It couldn't be, he had failed as a father. He failed to keep her out of the Director's hands, if what he guessed was true. He walked over to her "Remove your helmet spartan."he said
"Why should I, I out rank you."she said.
She was shaking with rage, he hoped she didn't sling his ass into the nearest wall. If she did that with enough force she'd kill him. He glanced up to see NOBLE and more Freelancers arrive. The NOBLE with the skull visor had his shot gun in hand aimed at him "You touch her and your dead."he said his tone promised death
"Jorge, bring me the children."said Halsey
"This is one order I refuse to follow Ma'am."said Jorge.
He reached for her tags and felt a pain in his fule louges, his eyes crossed as every man in the room spartan or not sucked in breath. A pair of the tags came away form her neck as he fell to his just had his nuts caved in by the Steel and gray Commando.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX
Jun
He grimaced as Rasha hit The Master Chief right there in the nuts; it was a very solid hit.
'Ow.'he thought to himself as he made a face and sucked in breath.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXXDXDXDX
Eskimo
Rasha hit chief right in the nuts, and every man in the room made a face. She almost laughed, despite how serious this was. What she wanted to know was why chief reached for the tags around her neck unless...'Oh, my god. The Master Chief 117 is James and Brittany's father!'she said to herself.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX
Like every other male in the room Emile felt sorry for the Spartan II Freelancers never fought fair at all, she hit him right in the nuts for Fuck sake! Even Jorge would drop from a hit like that "HOW DARE YOU! HELP HER!"yelled Rasha.
Something about Chief pissed her off the way he took the dog tags that belonged to her mother. Oh lets just say someone was going for a ride they did not want "Get your asses off of my damn ship before I put the lot of you through the wall even you."she said pointing to Chief.
I sure as hell was happy I staied on her good side "Brittany Ashton White."Chief groaned pissed off.
Brittany iggnored him, and walked over to him "They better be gone in an hour Morgan I leave it to you."she said
"Consider it done Rasha."said Morgan
"Girl, you better look at me when I am talking to you."Chief said.
Brittany spun "Leave father before I use your ass to put a whole in my ship."she said removing her helmet.
Wait WHAT?! SHE WAS HIS DAUGHTER!? Halsely looked shocked by this "John, they survived?"asked Halsey stunned
"I hid them form Church what good that did."said her father.
This was a bombsell none of them expected "I wouldn't be here if you would have kept your promise."she said and left the room I followed her back the way we came.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX
The Master Chief watched as his daughter left the area with all but one Freelancer and one NOBLE. He slowly got to his feet, he should have never done what he had did when he lost Samantha all those years ago. He should have kept them with him, but with his line of work what could he have done? He looked down at the blood crusted tags 'What have I done?My daughter well into the very hands of the person I tried to keep her from. I come her to take her children too. She has every right to hate my guts.' he said to himself
He turned to his friend "Avery, take Halsey back to the planet's surface."he said
"You sure Chief, she will try to kill you if you stay."said Avery
"John I want those children, I don't want Church having them."said Halsey.
He looked to see the Steel and Olive spartan remove her helmet, the red head's eyes shimmered with rage as she looked form him to Halsey, this spartan was going to put someone in their place or under a pelican.
scout armor in steel and Olive and she looked at him her eyes shimmered with rage she looked to him then to Halsely before going off on her.
DDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDDXDXd
Morgan Lynn had never once been so pissed off in her life, Halsey believed Church to be alive when he was sitting in the moruge. She looked form Chief to Halsey, all Chief wanted to do was protect his children. Chief was diffrent than the rest he was more like Jorge, but with Emile's mantalitiy of shoot everything in sight. She walked over to Halsey and looked the old bat in the eyes "Who the fuck do you think you are? You just waltz right in onto our ship, and you demand to take these kids?!"she yelled.
Halsey looked at her "That Bastard Church, is dead. You have some guts thinking we'd have children around that bastard?"she roared.
She wanted to punch Halsey, right in the mouth"Get the fuck off this ship,I swear if I ever hear of you trying this again, I'll personally-"Morgan was caught off
"You'll personally do what, Spartan?"Halsey asked gearing at her.
She faltered, but like a knight in shinning armor Jun saved her "You old bitch,get out of here."he shouted.
Avery Johnson lead Halsey back inside the lift and the doors closed, she looked at Jun who had a pissed off look on his face "Jun, no don't."she said but the NOBLE went off on Chief.
DXDXDXDXDXDX
Jun's blood was boiling form what Halsey had planed if she had took the children that belonged to those on the ship hell it pissed him off more when three of the fathers were NOBLE team members. Fucking eggheads screwing with people's lives, grant it Spartan IIIs had no family they were orphiens of war, but to have Halsey come and take the newborns in the name of science? It was sick and twisted, that was it! Morgan had tore the old bat and he had finished her off. He turned to The Chief. How dare he? As he turned to yell at the Spartan II Morgan tried to stop him "And you, Master Chief, You should have been better to your own daughter! You didn't want her in this life you should have been there to make sure it didn't happen. You left her alone this long she made her own choise. Then you show up after all this time with Halsey to take her twin son and daughter away from her? Not to mention Jorge's and everyone elses? Your supposed to be the one who protects his family not the one who rips it up and throws it away! You followed Halsey here, knowing very well this would happen!"he yelled.
How dare Brittany's father do this to her? "I actually didn't know, your right. The night her mother died I should have kept them closer to me, but as you know we are spartans we can never have a normal life. So I hid them away, I faild Samantha. I couldn't protect her. Nor could I protect Brittany or James."said Chief.
He was caught off gaurd by 117's words, the Spartan II looked at the tags in his hand closing it into a fist "Brittany, has no idea how much I gave to see that her and her brother were safe."Chief said saddly
"Chief, the best thing for Brittany to do right now is breath. She is still a little cranky from labor."said Morgan.
Chief chuckled "Just like her mother."said Chief as he looked to where Rasha and the others had left.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Brittany felt like an ass, had she been to hard on her father? No she had every right to hate him. She stoped and looked at the Planet of Reach from the window. From here in space the planet looked so beautiful. She felt Emile's arms wrap around her waist "Are you alright?"he asked
"Other than my father showing up to help Halsey take the children..."she paues her whole body shook. Years of pain, anger, and sorrow boiled its way to the surface.
Emile held her and for the first time in years she screamed letting out all her bottled up emotions. Emile held her close, as the others looked on.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX
Brittany was letting all the pain, anger, and sorrow out. Like him, she too had been wronged. He too watched his mother die, but not the way her's did. James walked up "What did you do?"his friend asked
"Your father showed up."said Kat
"Dad he's here? Were?"asked James freaking out
"He was here with Halsey to take the kids."Jorge said.
James knelt down and took his sister's hand "We can't blame him."said James
"Yeah, I know I just need some space. If that bitch Halsey is not off my ship she is out the airlock by my hands."she said her dark side coming out.
He cringed, Brittany got up and walked away. He looked at the commander "So sir, when is Kat due?"he asked.
Both the Commander and Kat turned a bright crimson and all but said to laughed.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Rasha had made her way to the fireing range. Her DMR in her hand, as she entered she say Maine there fireing his pistol "Hey Maine."she said
Maine purred "Aren't you suposed to be in bed resting?"asked Sigma translating
"Hello to you too, Sig. After what has happened I need to calm down."she said.
Maine loaded another clip and looked at her and growled "What has got you so mad?"asked Sigma.
She explained all that had happened "The Master Chief Petty Officer 117, is your father?"said Sigma stuned.
She nodded and opened fire on the target, just then she began to feel whoozy "Maine, something is wrong with Rasha."said Sigma.
She clinched her head, something was not right. The room began to spin as Maine put his arms around her to keep her from hitting the floor. The room went dark "Brittany, are you alright?"asked Sigam
"I can't see, I can hear I just can't see."she said.
She was scared and didn't know what was going on "Momma, Daddy. I'm scared."she said crying.
She didn't see Maine reach for his comms to call for help.
DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
They had taken chief down to the ward were they kept Church's dead body "So he is dead."said Chief
"He killed himself, I guess he didn't want Brittany to kill him."said Jun.
My comm went off it was Maine or as I called him Meta I turned it on "Go ahead Meta, what is it?"I asked
"Morgan, its sigma we have a situation its Brittany."said Sigma
"What is it?"she asked
"Brittany, has lost color to her eyes. She's bind and has been leveled to a whinny little spartan girl, Isis is running a tox screen on her now. I have a feeling someone has poisoned our beloved Darkling."said Sigma
'Daddy, wheres daddy. I can't see.'said Brittany in the back ground
"We're on our way."she said.
Jun and chief looked at her "Morgan what is it?"asked Jun
"Brittany is at the fireing range. She, has lost her sight and is crying for her daddy any poison you know that can cause that side effect? "she asked as they left the room
"The kiss of death."said Chief
"What?"asked Jun
"Thats how Edward Buck's father died. It starts by the loss of sight. Then uncontrolable memory recolection from the saddest moments in life."said Chief
"So she is poisoned, what happens after that?"asked Morgan
"Uncontrolable bowle movements meaning she'll be braking wind alot."said Chief.
Jun snorted a laugh "This isn't something to laugh about Jun."she said
"Sorry."he said
"The last ones are her caughing up blood a organ failer."said Chief "It will be painful."
They had to hurry and get her to the ICU poison unit.
DXDXDXDXDXDX
By the time they got there Brittany was on the ground screaming Meta beside her not knowing what to do "Where is Emile?"he asked
"Hell if I know."said Morgan as she went to call him.
Chief reached down for her "Brittany."Chief said sadly.
She reached for him as he picked her up, Chief had Brittany and he took point to get them to the ICU. If there was a cure for this how would they get it in time to save her?
DXDXDXDXDDXDXDXD
Emile sat in the mess hall when his comms went off he looked to see that it was Eskimo calling .What about he had no clue "Go a head Eskimo Pie."he said
"Only Jun can call me that! Were are you?"she asked
"Mess hall why?"he asked
"Brittany has been poisoned."said Eskimo.
I stood up "What is it Emile?"asked Carter
"Brittany has been poisoned."he said stunned.
They went to the ICU where Chief was sitting down with Morgan and Jun "Why is he still here?"he asked
"To tell Halsey that Church is dead and that she needs to leave the kids the hell alone."said Morgan
"She was poisoned and reduced to a cry baby."said Sigma through Maine's helmet
"Albion Reach."said Jorge
"The Kiss of Death."said Chief
"Kiss of Death my armored foot, more like the Kiss of Blind, gass, and painfully slow death."said Morgan.
They had all seen what that poison could do, and Brittany was poisoned with it? He looked at Kilik who had walked out of the room "We gave her a seditive to keep her calm, and something to slow the poison, she will have all main functions for a she'll die in the next week if a flower isn't found to fix this."said Kilik.
They had to find out who did this, and save her.
Hours later
She heard voices outside, she willed her body to move; but she couldn't. She knew of one way to find out what was going on. She opened her eyes to see herself laying in the ICU and the others outside talking about the Nurse Missy when Morgan saw her "Get your ass back in bed Brittany."said Morgan
"I am in bed and what is he still doing here?"she snarled looking at her father
"Like I said. Just like her mother, she's using astralprojection."said her father
"He carried you in here."said Jun.
She looked at her father "Fill me in what the hell has happened."she said.
That is all for this chapter.
