Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Halo. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I do not own Halo and such, 343, and a few others do.

25-year-old Bonita Stone was not afraid of dying. She knew sooner or later the cold feel of death would have come from trying to relax.

She did not fear it… She only feared letting the Banished win, letting her death be for nothing. Something about it ALL became harder and harder to think.

The elite that stalked her was not able to ambush her, her scanners picking him up as she turned, firing the needler in her hands as the elite roared and tossed himself at the Spartan.

She ducked, jamming the needler into his chest… Jega, the Spartan Killer who had been hunting her for a long time.

She hummed, too tired, she had been hunted for a long time… All of it was something that would break a lesser Spartan.

Nina kicked off the hulking monster and fled deeper into the tunnels, the elite stalking her as she paused, rolled, and grabbed a Stalker Rifle, aiming down the tunnel for a moment before fleeing.

Her shields saved her from all these hits, her armor protected her as she sprinted.

"Signal down there, UNSC… Follow me!" She heard before she looked around the corner, clipping the rifle to her belt and drawing her MK50 Sidekick from her belt.

It could be UNSC reinforcements… Or it could be the Spartan Killer who had tracked her here.

The second the first dot passed her cover, she turned, slamming into them elbow first and sweeting their feet out from under them.

The soldier on the other end grunted and looked up to see a pistol shoved into their face… Only for her to realize it was a Spartan.

The faceplate of their crimson Cavallino helm stared at her, an M6G magnum in their hands.

"What are you doing here?" Bonita asked to which he blinked.

"Looking for survivors… Yourself?" They asked, seemingly at odds the Spartans had with themselves at the end of the day.

She seemed to be thinking for a moment before she looked to the side once more.

The footsteps from Jega retreated. The Spartan looked at Bonita who glanced back. She was clearly in need of help and he blinked at her before rolling to the side, accepting her help to his feet.

"Elite, active camo," Bonita stated to which the Spartan tapped a hand on his scanner.

"Special visor… He ran when we came, sent a pack of brutes in to cover his tail… They will be here any moment." She heard.

Still? She of all people could tell he was telling the truth… She of all people knew that he was trying to help, there were very few UNSC soldiers here and each one they saved was another victory.

Bonita raised her sidekick as both Spartans heard the roars of brutes. He looked at her a moment as if guessing what she was doing before he shrugged in that direction.

"There are more Banished coming… Last I checked? There are at least 50 coming down the tunnel." He stated before he looked at her.

He sighed and then thought for a moment if this would work. Bonita hummed before she and he started to back away, both bringing up their weapons as they backed down the tunnel.

There was the sound of roars as several brutes exploded into the hallway before Bonita rushed into the hallway, bringing up her rifle as she smirked to try and figure it out.

Bonita watched as the Spartan next to her fired, raising his CQS48 Bulldog, and then shot the next brute, buckshot in the chest before they collapsed to the ground.

Bonita seemed to be relaxed at the time being, she was in her element once more… Right now? He was just falling through the reverse it had been.

Such was beyond his mind… he would have to deal with a lot more than he had before… And it all annoyed him to no damn end because all of them were going through it differently now.

She did not know what was going on in her mind before she relaxed before she seemed to think of it.

Bonita seemed to be thinking of it all when it was all said and done as of now.
