Noble Idiots chapter 6 'Noble One, you and your team are not very... Um, what's the word? Ah, good...' Holland droned on to Carter. 'They always mess around and shit. This. Has. To. Change.' 'My team is FINE, thank you. We don't need another member!' Carter argued back. 'I'm giving you one, if you like it or not. This man has strong potential. He'll not only help your team in fighting, he'll bring you together.' Holland concluded wisely. 'No way, Holland-' Carter tried to say, before he got cut off by Holland. 'Oh, too late. He's here now...' He said quickly, as a tall armoured man walked through the door. 'CHIEF!' The chief gave a stiff nod before turning his attention to the window. 'Um, he's not the talkative type...' Holland said rather fast, trying to hide his embarrassment. He turned to Chief. 'Right, this is Carter. He's your team leader, okay? Play nice okay?' He wasn't even sure if he had heard him as he kept looking out the window, without even giving a slight nod. 'Well... Good. Noble One, I'll be off. Treat Chief like you treated Jorge before he went crazy, alright-?' Holland, very suddenly got interrupted by Chief. 'Jorge? What happened?' 'Oh, he went crazy at my Noble Six because she tripped him up. He tried to get her off the team and poison her, too.' Carter explained, as if this happened everyday. 'Oh.' Was all Chief said, before turning back to the window. Carter raised his eyebrows under his visor. 'Okay, bye Colonel. See you soon!' He said a little too enthusiastically. 'I'll be back this evening too give you your next mission. And for god's sake, BE FRIENDLY.' Holland said loudly before leaving. _ 'Listen up everybody.' Carter addressed his team, who were all sitting around him like pre-schoolers. Carter secretly had immense satisfaction by this. 'Holland has kindly given us another team member. This, is The Master Chief!' He said the introduction a lot louder for the effect as Chief walked into the room. 'Say hi Chief!' 'Hi.' His voice was completely emotionless, and Carter could tell he was being glared daggers at. Chief immediately walked and sat down in the chair furthest away from everyone else. 'Is he in a mood, or always like that?' Six asked, raising her hand. 'Cos it can either be extremely rude or unexplainably sexy...' Kat started nodding frantically. 'Yes, I know they're complete and utter weirdos, but we're gonna have to deal with them.' Chief said unexpectedly. 'Um, who's he talking too?' Jun asked. 'I know, Cortana.' Chief continued. 'Who's Cortana?' Emile asked. 'Cortana is a AI created by Dr Catherine Halsey. Cortana was transported to the Pillar of Autumn precisely in a few weeks by Six.' Kat said, going into some sort of trance. The team all glanced at each other. 'Told ya she was a gay-ass.' Emile rudely commented, breaking to silence. 'Seriously, guys,' Emma said, changing the subject. 'Clearly he doesn't like us doesn't want to be here. So, let's be really nice and helpful and make him happy. Deal?' Everyone murmured a small 'yes' and walked over to Chief. 'Hello...' Emma said nervously. 'We... Well I completely understand why you don't want to be here. I know that this team is very strange, and you being a "Lone Wolf" won't be used to that. Can I give you a tour?' The Chief gave a small nod and stood up. For the next hour, Emma showed Chief around the tiny base. '... And this is the cafeteria, everyone's favourite place. D'you want to sit with me?' 'Will your crazy team be sitting with you?' He asked. 'No. Maybe Six, but she isn't crazy, she's actually really nice!' Emma said quickly. Chief slowly nodded, which Emma took as a yes, and led him to an empty table. 'Um, I'll be right back. I'll just keep them away..' Emma explained awkwardly. 'That Emma seems nice.' Cortana commented into Chief's earpiece. 'Yeah.' 'You should a least try and talk to them. Ya know, get to know them better. They might be better then you think..' Chief turned off his earpiece, deeply annoyed. Not even five seconds later, Emma reappeared with Six at her side. 'Hey, I'm Noble Six!' Six said, holding out her hand, which Chief shook. 'Me and Emma are really the only normal people on this team... Oh, watch out for Jun. Don't tell him anything, he's a gossiper.' She added when Chief tilted his head in a confused manner. Chief nodded, before turning his attention to some steak that Carter put in front of him. (DON'T ASK WHERE CARTER CAME FROM. HE JUST APPEARED, OKAY?) 'Anything else I should know?' Chief asked, moodily stabbing his steak. Six and Emma shared a glance. 'Yes, actually..' Emma said, catching his sarcasm. 'First of all: Carter, he's a really bad leader, just do lead yourself a lot. Kat, she is super weird, so do what I do and ignore her. Jun, well, Six has already told you.. He also likes stealing our kills. Emile, he is really violent, he loves blood, I swear he wants to eat me, watch out for his knife and don't annoy him. Um, Six, she's quite normal, bit she can be quite Emilish sometimes and she is quite funny.' Chief gave his signature nod, and started cutting his steak up. 'Hey, Six!' Said a voice behind them. All three of them turned to see Jun and Emile grinning like idiots. 'What?' 'Emile and I pulled a prank on Kat... In a few minutes, she'll burst through those doors, holding a broken mirror and with bright pink hair!' 'What did you do?!' Emma cried. Almost tearing her hair out. Emile gave her an evil, toothy grin. 'We put bright pink hair dye in her shampoo...' Six could swear his teeth were twinkling. Literally, one second later, Kat AND Carter burst in with bright pink hair. Like Jun said, Kat was holding a broken mirror. Carter had nail marks all over his face and was slowly going more and more pink as people began to laugh. But no-one laughed louder than Chief. He burst out, fell onto the floor, then started banging his fists on the floor. Everybody stared, but then started re-laughing at him. For the rest of the day, Chief was even more quiet. He seemed to want to earn his dignity back. 'Right, Team,' Carter was saying. He'd gathered everyone in one tiny room somewhere in the base. Emile and Jun were still sniggering at him behind their hands. 'Our next mission is sort of following Jun and Six's last night... Though of course, we probably should have left earlier this morning... Oh well. Chief, Kat and Six will go. Emma will be dropped off later on. Me, Emile and Jun will watch over in a Falcon. Get a good night sleep, Team. We leave at 8am tomorrow.' As Carter suggested, everyone got into bed early. Chief had his own room instead of sharing like everyone else. For awhile, he turned surprisingly chatty, talking to Cortana. 'Remember, Chief!' Cortana nagged him. 'Try to make friends!' 'I don't need friends!' Chief argued back. 'I'm fine being a Lone Wolf. It's so much easier!' '...And don't steal their kills either,' Cortana went on. 'They'll probably start disliking you-' 'Good.' '-And we really don't want that.' It went like that for a very long time. Soon enough, Chief decided he had had enough, and switched off his earpiece again.
So there it is! Was it okay? I'll accept any tips/feedback if you're willing to share with me :) Next chapter will be Tip of the Spear ;)
