Ok here is the Second Chapter. Hope you guys like it. Sorry if the last couple paragraphs are a little bad, it was kinda late at night when I finished those, but I wanted to get this chapter up today. I don't know how long this story is going to be, but I knida hoe to finish it before I have to go back to school where it will be really hard to right. If you review I will be more motivated to write more sooner so please review. Also if you didn't get to read the full first chapter you might to go read that before you read this.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Halo Franchis but I do own pretty much everything else in this story.
Chapter 2:
Due to the crash the trio all had some major injuries. The Spartan only had a minor fracture in his leg so he was able to walk fine along with Corporal Hardy, who was able to avoid any leg injury at all except some bruises and cuts. Unfortunately though the private didn't come out so lucky. Private Kim had an extreme compound fracture to her left leg. Although the Corporal was able to patch it up a lot, right after the crash her knee was jutting out about two inches from her skin. She still was not able to walk on it, so, since they knew they needed to get going, the Spartan decided to carry her even though his own injuries made him hesitant. As for the Corporal his right shoulder was dislocated badly, his left wrist was terribly broken, and almost everyone of his ribs were cracked or broken. It was hard for him to carry a gun, let alone shoot one, but he knew in order to survive he needed to shoot so he hid his injuries from the others.
"Where did you get the weapons?" the Spartan asked as the group hobbled through the wreckage.
"When the ship started to crash we were in the weapons bay," Hardy answered since the Private was passed out in 212's arms. "I knew that we weren't going to be protected very well being in that space so I decided to stick Kim into one of the lockers to try to protect her more, then I propped myself up against the door."
"How is it that you came out with no injuries at all then?" The Spartan asked skeptically.
Hardy hesitated "A-a miracle I guess." The Corporal answered.
"I don't think he's telling the truth." Caroline said into 212's ear so that James couldn't hear. Suddenly Corporal Hardy halted.
"Whats wrong?" The Spartan asked.
"Do you hear that?" He said as he leaned his head in like he was listening to a whisper. Then he suddenly shouldered his sniper but before he could fire at seemingly nothing, he was knocked aside by some invisible force, screaming out in pain before he hit a large wall of rubble and passed out.
The Spartan quickly laid the Private down and pulled out his pistol, which he had holstered on his right leg. He looked around, but couldn't make anything out. Then, right above Private Parr he saw some distortion in his vision which looked sort of like a figure. He aimed his pistol at the invisible thing, and at that same moment a glowing sword appeared out of nowhere. The spartan quickly unloaded the magazine of 6 bullets right to where he assumed the thing's head was. The now visible Elite fell motionless beside the Private.
The Spartan quickly reloaded his weapon and picked up Kim with his free hand. He ran over to Corporal Hardy. "Hey!" He yelled while trying to shake him awake. "Hey! Corporal!"
"Huh." The Corporal mumbled barely awake.
"Corporal, we need to go. I'm sure those shots warned others in the search party where we are." The Spartan said. "Can you walk."
The Corporal tried propping himself up on his arms, but his shoulder gave out, and he screamed out in pain. "You guys go on ahead." Hardy said, wincing in pain. "I'll distract them so you can get away. I would only slow you guys down anyway."
"Are you sure about that marine?" the Spartan asked.
"I'm sure." he said with a tear in his eyes "Now go! Get as far away from here as possible before more covenant arrive."
"He's right Spartan," Caroline chipped in "We have multiple targets closing in on us."
"Good hunting." the Spartan said.
"Good hunting." Corporal James Hardy replied.
Then the Spartan ran off as fast as he could, after a while he heard the sniper rifle star firing. When they cleared the crash sight the Spartan laid the Privat down in some cover then turned around to try to listen to thebattle going on. The bullets kept flying for a while, giving the Spartan the thought that he was putting up quite a good fight, but then he heard the unmistakable sound of covenant weapons being fired. A couple minutes later altogether the weapons stopped firing, human and covenant. It seemed it was the end for Corporal Hardy.
