Chapter 2: The Autumn
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
LoneWolfe hit the floor. Hard. As he tried to get up, he felt several heavy things land on him, flattening him out on the floor. LoneWolfe groaned. Maybe I should have hit itrunning. He dragged himself out of the pile of moaning bodies, walking like a drunkard towards the wall. When he got there, he took a look around the room. What he saw would have made his jaw drop if he weren't wearing a helmet. If all is hours on the campaign legendary mode were any help, this was the cryo chamber from the first level.
LoneWolfe looked over at a man in an orange suit, somehow oblivious to the groaning of the others as they pulled themselves together, working at what could only be the Chief's cryo tube. He watched as the emerald colored armor of the Master Chief gleamed in the light as he stepped out of the tube. He looked like a god. The others finally got up and walked over to him, staring at the Chief as well. Some idiot behind him made a squealing noise, drawing the attention of the two figures ahead.
"Who-" Started the Chief, getting disrupted by an explosion of the door in the room overhead. "Security, intruders in Cryo Two-Aaahhhk!" cried the poor man up in the room. Many members of the group screamed at the sight of the Elite looking at them, earning them a look from the Chief. The other man in orange clothes ran off towards a door, telling them to follow. LoneWolfe recognized this part.
LoneWolfe tried to stop the man from going near the door, put failed. He was blasted apart, arms and legs flying past the group in bloody arcs. Several people screamed at the sight. Jeez, it's not that bad. I've seen a diclonious do worse. "Come on!" cried Gurt anxiously, pointing towards the tubes they needed to jump over. Chief went first, the others following suit. This just got them into a hallway with plasma fire coming from two sides. This brought even more screams from the others, but a LoneWolfe and Gurt, along with Cat and Cookie, laid down fire on the Covenant as the others followed Master Chief. LoneWolfe watched as a Grunt ran around screaming as the flames enveloped him. Huh, just what I imagined.
The group half fought, half ran screaming all the way to the Bridge. When they eventually made it to the bridge, Master Chief took the time to walk over to LoneWolfe and ask what the hell was wrong with the others. "Just green, sir!" LoneWolfe snapped off, trying to sound like a Spartan. As they walked over to the Captain, LoneWolfe turned to the only four of the people who had stopped and shot and told them to watch the door they came in from. Nodding, they walked towards it. Wolfe returned to the Captain, who was only then putting Cortana into the Chief's hands. Keyes looked at Wolfe.
"I suppose your the one leading the other Spartans. I want you and five others to go with the Chief here. I want the rest to head to the docking bay. I'll have a Marine show them the way. Don't bother trying to tell me how the hell you got here; I'll just take the lucky break. Now go." Keyes turned away. LoneWolfe conveyed the news to the others. He chose Gurt, Apple, Cat, Cookie, and Hammer. The others went with a Marine through the opposite door as they were going. God, I hope they make it.
LoneWolfe saw a group of dead Grunts on the floor. Nice. Master Chief ran over to an Assault rifle lying on the ground and reloaded it as he ran into the other room. Wolfe and his team followed. Gurt was hit in the gut with a few plasma blue plasma bolts, making his shields shimmer. Good, so we are just like the Chief, gear wise. They took cover, helping the Marines kill the Covenant in the room. Before they left the room, LoneWolfe walked around the corner, flaming the Grunts in his way. Their burnt flesh smelled like tar. They continued through a hall, Hammer blasting the Elite with his shotgun, leaving a faceless lump behind. They traveled on, coming to an airlock.
"Move!" Cookie cried to the Marines standing near it. They did so, but too late. The doors blasted open and smashed one of them into a wall. All seven Spartans threw a grenade at the door, Cat doing so slowly, making his fly in and stick an Elite in the rear of the boarding ship from the explosions of the other ones. The group marched on.
"This is easy." Apple pronounced. The others agreed. "I've never worked with more than four other Spartans before. For green guys, your pretty good." "I guess we're the best of our entire group." LoneWolfe muttered. This sombered the team up a bit, reminding them of the other ten people somewhere else on the ship. They marched on, killing several more Covenant on their way up to another set of airlocks.
"Damn, we're too late." Cortana told them. "Obviously." Smirked Hammer. LoneWolfe fired a Fuel Rod round at a group of Grunts on the other side of the room, making them vanish in a flash of green plasma. They walked through a slight maze of air ducts. They came out on the other side facing a blown-up door that was ajar. The Chief simply hit it with his rifle, making it open up with an audible clang. The Grunts who came to check on the noise were easily punched to death, fists meeting little necks hard. While the others forced the enemy out of cover, Cat tapped them out with his sniper rifle. Heh, I guess his talents on-game came IN-game. Then it hit him. That was how they were so good; the suits were doing most of the work, based on basic movements and thoughts.
The group fought into another airduct maze, this time walking straight out into a firefight between Covenant and Marines. LoneWolfe simply flamed them all down from close range. "Never saw what hit'em!" Declared one of the Marines. Following the Marines to a life boat they said was as-of-yet unmanned, they ran into a large group of Covenant. The Marines took cover as LoneWolfe let loose with Fuel Rod rounds and the others chucked grenades they found nearby. The Covenant were nothing but guts on the floor.
The Marines ran into the life boat as LoneWolfe and Gurt looked out a nearby window. Several life boats were being destroyed, but many more made it towards the Ring world. "What are the chances ours will get hit?" Gurt wondered out loud. This made LoneWolfe think. He had an idea. Crazy, but it was all they could really count on at the moment. LoneWolfe and Gurt turned back towards the life boat.
"Ready to go?" Cortana asked them. "LoneWolfe just smiled in his helmet, kicked Gurt through the door, shut it, and hit the release key next to him. The others just sat in their seats, mouths agape as they slowly lurched out of the airlock. loneWolfe walked slowly behind them. Just as they were thrust out of the airlock, he leapt out of the airlock doors before they closed, floating in space towards them. They all just kept staring as he began to swim towards them, grabbing hold to the door. He looked up towards a fishhook shaped ship nearby. He knew it had to have seen them, so he leapt towards it. The others watched on a live stream video feed Cortana had linked with all their HUDs. LoneWolfe reached down and grabbed a large handful of all his grenades as he came near it. As soon as he landed on its side, he slammed a dent into the lateral lines of the ship's plasma lines. Those Halo books really help. He shoved all his grenades into the gap, primed them, and launched off at the last second to get large boost towards the life boat. The line was spewing plasma like mad, unable to fire at them. He had done it.
Then it dawned on him. He wasn't inside the damn lifeboat. LoneWolfe just stayed crouched on the door as they came ever closer to the Halo ring. This is gonna hurt when it lands... He could hear the others laughing their asses off inside the life boat.
