Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Spartan and the Legionary. Enjoy the 7300-word chapter. I don't own RWBY or Halo. Monty Oum, Microsoft, 343, and Rooster Teeth do.
Leo sighed as he looked downwards at the ground before watching as another Pelican slowly seemed to descend as he sighed and watched as more and more cables were attached to the relic.
He also watched as other ships, Atlesian, hovered overhead, both Winter and Carter discussed the matter as UNSC marines and Atlesian soldiers policed the sight.
It bothered him to see such a state, to know that technology he could not seek to understand here and could continue to live in such a state here was… Disturbing, bothering him with the idea the Covenant still had tricks up his sleeve.
Even reduced? All of it seemed to be able to relax once more what he could and do as of now and would be able to relax again as he pondered it all, pondered every little idea once more.
"There's a problem, isn't there?" Pyrrha asked before she got a nod from him.
"Yes, this tech? It's from the people the Covenant worship. They are not supposed to have any tech here yet. Well, I don't know what the people in charge want to do." Pyrrha heard.
"All I know is this isn't something we normally deal with… Yet now we have to wait, see what pops into the area." Pyrrha heard as she looked down at the ground.
The lack of knowledge was worrisome, more so in the way she didn't know what was going on. If he didn't know? She didn't know what was going to happen which bothered her.
Leo hummed and walked away, knowing more soldiers would have come if Jul had wanted the relic so badly. If it had been so important to his desires? He'd have secured it with far more men.
Either he wanted them to have it, or he was trying to keep a lower profile or such a measure of moments. He was unable to relax, unsure, and unable to relax.
"Sir? Everything is ok down here. Local units are securing the cargo for transit and I believe everything is in order." Leo reported as Lasky came over the comm.
"Dr. Halsey and some of the staff would like to look it over, Spartan Leo… We're waiting on them to confirm… I don't want another bomb on Infinity or a giant Forerunner superweapon onboard if I'm able to." Lasky stated before Leo hummed to himself once more, a decision to be superior.
They had a lot more to see and do for now as he looked to the ground for now. A measure of protection that could only be dealt with easily for now.
"You should know we have a situation developing. Covenant forces have gone into hiding… And there are a few new signatures. We don't think we're dealing enough damage to Jul's forces as we thought…" Lasky said as Leo hummed.
"So, he's finding new soldiers? Damn it, we're going to need to refuel and resupply soon, sir. We've got a lot of problems without a supply chain here." Leo said as Roland spoke up.
"Actually? We've managed to get a call out to command. Their busy trying to crunch numbers but considering all the politics? The short and narrow is they managed to keep some supplies in storage… Send what they can." Roland stated to which there were some sighs.
Roland fell silent, aware of what to see and do next. The humans had a much harder time continuing it considering how much suffering they appeared to greet daily at the moment, a nightmare not easily dealt with for now, a moment that didn't go anywhere.
"We have to keep going or else it isn't going to matter anytime soon, we have a lot more to work on than you think, there's a lot more if we don't stop them," Lasky said as he frowned to himself, utterly unsure and thrown off
"Meaning, sir?" Leo asked as he raised his eyebrow.
Leo wasn't going to be unsure of what to try and figure out what to see and deal with when it came down to it. They had a lot more to figure out, they would grow beyond what had been able to figure it.
"Meaning we have a lot more to try and figure out… Get back to the ship. They have something else to be dealing with." Leo heard from Lasky as he turned to Pyrrha who was utterly tired and worn down.
She was utterly tired, utterly unsure of herself… What she could do next was bothersome, what she was didn't bother him… No, it bothered him that she was a warrior and yet she was pushed to her breaking point.
She yawned, looking downwards at the ground, herself looming over the console as if she was a statue. She made him amused more and more, they had a lot more upon the mind, an idea that bothered him again and again. This wasn't going to be something that he could deal with for now. Always again and again.
He knew what else was going and he knew it wouldn't be easy but that was life for a Spartan on the edge of things when push came down to shove for now.
What could one person do, what was he able to do well when it came down to it? something that could and would seek to understand and deal with properly. He knew more and more as the soldier slowly started to question it that something was off.
"Go and see the captain, Spartan. You'd like it better." Leo stated as he sighed and looked downwards at the ground. "We have a lot more to try and figure out what to do next and the sooner we can deal with it? The better." Leo heard as he nodded and then looked downwards.
All of the measures that he had to keep dealing with were going to keep grinding it downwards and downwards before he clicked his jaw against the roof of his mouth, something that bothered him in the end.
All of it surprised him, all of it seemed to keep catching the Spartan off guard, perhaps because he didn't realize it? Didn't expect it? No, that wasn't it or else he'd be thinking more and more of sense else on the horizon, a dance or something that he could only foresee if he fully opened his eyes to see the incoming danger.
He was a Spartan; however, the incoming danger was something he was used to thinking more and more of such an issue, something that he could truly and honestly relax. He didn't know how to react within the confines of it all but he did believe in trying to fix it at the end of the day.
Perhaps he could believe better but he didn't think it helped much to believe it in any singular way would be like this.
He turned to Pyrrha who was silent, perhaps thrown off in fact by it all at the end of the day, something that bothered him for now as he looked downwards at the ground, something that bothered him.
"You know? The sooner we get to the room? The sooner I can relax, there's a lot more to try and figure out." Leo said as he looked downwards at the ground before now… Something that he could only deal with possibly ended.
He had a very large amount of power, something that could and would be able to grow more and more… What he couldn't at all think for now was that they had a battle upwards once more.
Such issues were beyond him and would continue to be odder and odder with each passing little moment, making him unsure of it all for now and unwilling to do anything to try and break through it all… There was a lot more to see and do, something that could and would keep bugging him to no end… If he had any reservations about such things? They died out as soon as anything else.
Pyrrha yawned, making him remember that the two were utterly inseparable for now and he had other issues.
"The sooner we get back up? The better, they'd have my head if we don't." Leo stated before he sighed to himself "This is going to be a long day." Leo said with a sigh as he looked downwards once more.
"You say that like we haven't been here for only a few minutes," Pyrrha said to which he hummed. "Are you tired?" Pyrrha questioned to which Leo shrugged.
"Don't know, I don't normally have missions like this," Leo stated before he sighed.
(Yesterday)
Leo hummed as the sun set and he finally walked towards the pelican to which he could and would be able to relax. It was the first time he had anything on his mind besides battle tactics, deployments, and the ammo in the weapon that he carried.
It was a very odd day for him yet he didn't at all manage to relax, not for lack of trying but because of her. Because of Pyrrha in a way that he didn't know when it came down at the moment.
All of it meant little to him compared to what he was dealing with next, all of it was something that Leo wasn't used to and probably wouldn't be anytime soon.
He heard a yawn and forgot that Pyrrha rest upon his shoulders, her sandals held in her hand as he slowly walked into the craft and slowly walked towards the cockpit.
"You, ok?" Leo questioned, far more amused than anything else as he looked down at the ground of the craft for a few seconds, unsure and uncertain of it all.
"Mmm," Pyrrha said, too drowsy to speak for more than a moment.
Leo chuckled over and over mentally but said nothing in his own words when it was all over. He didn't know what was going through Pyrrha's mind, his footsteps quaking on the metal as she looked downwards at him as the ship started to shake now.
He hadn't been able to relax before this sort of his vacation when it was something he had rarely dealt with at all.
Still? it was fun when he cracked his fingers once more and then down at the ground, all of it seemed to be an odd little measure when it came down to it.
"Good." Leo hummed. "Give me a second, you're sitting in the cockpit and I'm going to fly us back to Infinity, I'd take you back to Beacon but Captain Lasky needs me and I need as much sleep as possible," Leo said before slowly putting her in the pilot's chair a few seconds later with a thud.
Pyrrha slumped into the seat, clearly intended for a fully armed and armored soldier, not a 6.0FT teenager in heels.
Pyrrha shifted back into the leathery seat as Leo hummed and simply strapped in, being familiar with the technology to which she WASN'T.
He didn't find himself less amused by this at all, not when he could and would easily find himself within. He looked at her, rubbing his arms as he let go of her legs.
Pyrrha was already sitting atop his shoulders and he was glad he had ducked downwards and into the ship, knowing damn well what would happen if Pyrrha was slammed into the head of the dropship.
It was both amusing and terrifying to him that he had been able to relax. Normally it wasn't even a facet of his mind, not even a small little idea for him to be honest.
Leo and relaxation were not even close to the same thing when push came to shove, it was so harrowing that he had been pushed into a role he didn't know but something he couldn't even begin to grasp.
The idea that today had been a new dawn was as nightmarish to him as anything else. Not just because he didn't for the hell of it but because he knew what awaited him when and if he had managed to fail for now.
Pyrrha yawned, balanced on his spine like a small little statue. It was odd enough remembering this woman was almost as tall as a Spartan outside their MJOLNIR. This made him question if she was indeed one of them and just had shed their armor.
It wouldn't surprise him even in the slightest, for now, unsure, and unable to focus on anything was how today constantly seemed to make him feel for now.
It always did so in a way that continued to hamper him again and again for now.
It wasn't the oddest thing that had happened in his life and he was well and truly aware of that to the best of his talents.
He'd find it within himself to laugh when everything was usually decided and drinks were being shared, not before or after it. This was ending so badly that it should end before someone else died as of now.
Leo simply powered up the engines, the dropship/gunship slowly rotating on its axis, engines kicking up sand as it floated, wobbling upon the center of gravity before flying upwards.
Leo closed the troop bay as they flew, knowing that the lack of oxygen would kill Pyrrha if he didn't.
"Infinity? Spartan Cerule incoming, transmitting landing codes… Permission to place Ms. Nikos in a temporary room for tonight?" Leo questioned, tapping several keys on the console as he did so.
"Captain is a bit busy making sure we don't start another war… So sure! Kick your feet up, Spartan!" Roland said as he chuckled.
"All right, but I'm going to need room and board." Leo joked before settling back into the seat.
Pyrrha stirred, obviously not used to the fact she was in a high-tech military-grade transport designed for atmospheric operations and capable of clearing places at speed.
She yawned and then leaned back; her feet rested on the ground as she slumped forwards in her seat. He'd have adjusted the seatbelt but that meant getting up and up as he looked around at the vacuum of space.
It wasn't as if he could blame her, these things usually had pilots within them… Not a Spartan and his friend, nor were they usually used for recreational ventures, usually used for marines to reach the ground.
It was very unusual for him to find such a thing in a single way that it had messed them up to such a degree for now and for good, even when it was all said and done and would not be ended this way, not even if one had to beg.
He didn't know it, didn't know a damn thing about it all. They had a larger amount of training to deal with all such options when it was all over.
He sighed and slowly flew the ship towards the hanger, unsure and unable to try and deal with it, pressing the buttons once more as the pelican slowly started to approach once more.
(Present day)
"You know, it's nice working on operations where people DON'T try and kill us but it's not exactly like AI are allowed vacations, are we?" Leo heard as he chuckled.
"I don't think we get as much vacation as you think, Roland. Unless you count not getting shot at every day." Leo joked as he guided the pelican inside the hanger. "How are you anyway? Captain Lasky must be pretty busy if he can't take calls." Leo said as Roland hummed.
"Well, we're trying to avoid a war with all due respect. It's going to be a lot harder to do that if we don't stop that." Roland stated as he looked downwards.
"There's always a war, Roland, it just depends on whom is fighting it," Leo said before he sighed and let the equipment guide him in. "Do tell Captain Lasky I said hi. Don't overwork yourself, there will be a lot more units coming and going, going to be a few dozen pelicans coming and going." Leo said before he sighed.
He knew more and more that Infinity was the biggest fish in the ocean when it came down to it. There was nothing Jul owned that had been possible for now to try and challenge the UNSC.
And it seemed as if they were going to be finding an ally within the Atlesian military when it was all said and done. He doubted more and more options wouldn't continue to bring themselves to their attention.
They had to keep going anyway, even the smallest options would bother them to the core at the time. Nothing else was going to bother them for now.
He sighed as the ship's protocols took over and slowly started to dock the pelican with the warship manually. All it did was remind the spartan simply how much they had progressed as people.
They had so much to deal with, so much to see and do that it… Bothered him to a massive degree.
He sighed and looked down at the ground as the pelican docked and allowed them access to the hanger. It was clear more and more that whatever came next would be a shock to them all.
It was a shock to be certain but what he didn't know was what caused it and how well to deal with it, a distraction they didn't even need for now.
He didn't even know what the hell was going on, all he knew more and more was that the longer they were able to relax. The more that he could only doubt himself again and again.
What more could he say as it slowly started to dock with the ship? He knew something about all of it was odd, truly, it was… However? He had no damn reason to get over and under his head, there was an urge to be scratched, an itch to be thrown about.
The craft finally docked and he was allowed out, turned, and looked at Pyrrha who had since fallen asleep in the seat and had seemed to find it all to be amusing, yawning like she had been at an amusement park for the moment.
He didn't at all see what was coming next as the Pelican slowly started to be bothering them again and again at the time, he didn't even want to try and deal with it for now.
It was something that could only bug him again and again given enough time. Leo hummed and slowly started to exit the craft, slowly pulling Pyrrha from her seat as he sighed, all of it felt odder and odder to deal with as he hummed to try and figure it out.
Pyrrha hummed as he hoisted her on his back, carrying her, armor, and all on his back while he sighed. Leo hummed and slowly started to march outwards, carrying her on his back.
This woman was a lot of things, a champion, a warrior of power he did not want to try and figure out as he hummed to himself. He clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, something that he could only see coming as he pushed himself forwards, ready for everything.
He didn't even want to know what she had on her mind, making him sigh in relief for now, a lot odder and odder as of the time being. She was a lot more amused at the moment than he had seen her at the time.
All it did was push him to the limit, a measure of peace he couldn't at all deal with for now, a lot odder and odder.
He exited the craft, carrying Pyrrha on his back as he hummed and only stopped to think for a second, ready to go further and further than he had before. It had been so odd and so unsure and uncertain for now, a desire to get to where he could not wish it to have been.
He paused for a second, only stopping to think for but a few seconds. He slowly carried Pyrrha out the door and into the ship, ready to try and fix it for now.
This was something to try and bother himself with as she snored, yawning cutely like a small little puppy rather than a Covenant-killing monster that easily cut through things like butter.
He wasn't going to stop her but it did stop him considering just what he went through normally. It felt so odd that it bothered him for now, it felt unnatural and uneasy to him again and again, and yet she was so cuddly and innocent.
It felt unnatural for now for him to be so comforting around her like he was fighting on a cloud. It almost made him want to scream, not just because he didn't know her but because it seemed to make so many choices and so little time to rectify it for the moment.
Leo didn't even want to know what to see and do next, he didn't even think he DID know considering what went on, what came next, and what he'd be doing, after all, it went to hell and back.
Something about it all bothered him to death for now and would continue to do so in every single way that mattered… Every single little measure of peace within him? It died instantly in front of his very eyes.
He sighed and slowly started to think for now on how best to deal with it all for now, ready to scream into the void.
If anything? He had nothing really to say, nothing really to do… All of it simply bothered him for now, bothered him to a degree he really couldn't deal with… They HAD to win or lose.
"Are we going to be ok or is this problem a BIG problem?" Leo asked, crossing his arms across his chest as he looked downwards at the ground.
"No, we just don't know what's going to happen at the end of the day… The captain is running through all the little stuff and we don't even want to know what's going to happen next." The Spartan said as he looked downwards.
Leo said nothing at this, unsure for now what came next… They had a LOT more to see and do at the end of the day, it would be a LOT odder than perfect at the moment, they were dealt a very horrid hand at the end of the day… Something that was growing within him at the end of the day.
"We have a lot to talk about with Captain Lasky then," Leo said as he hummed and then looked downwards at the ground.
"He's in a meeting with General Ironwood in his ready room, Commander Palmer is busy talking things over with the scientists and Professor Halsey." One of the Spartans stated before he sighed.
"Damn it, then… Who am I giving the debrief to? We need to figure out what the covies were after and make sure that the covenant doesn't get it." Leo said as he hummed.
"Spartan Cerule?" He heard as he blinked.
"Spartan Andrew?" He asked as he turned to see a Spartan wearing Venator class armor as he began to approach.
"In the flesh… Haven't seen you since Requiem." He heard as he rolled his eyes and looked at his friend in annoyance.
"I haven't seen you since you started managing ops. You were crap at that." Leo said as Andrew snorted.
"No, you were crap at following orders because you wanted to try and take down so many so many times and so little to see and do." Leo heard as he snorted.
"There will always be more and more problems. Do you know that the more we don't deal with? The more we can try and relax at the end of the day. I have so many problems that could relax for now." Leo said before he sighed.
He didn't at all know what was going on, there will always be a fight to try and understand. This always goes down the same way, he didn't think he could relax. He didn't see a way to end it at the end of the day, not without bloodshed as he hummed once more.
He wouldn't manage to relax; he couldn't manage to relax now. He didn't at all know what the next move would be, only that it couldn't be ended properly… Whatever came next? It just wouldn't well enough.
Perhaps Lasky had some sort of answer? He saw little in the way of a clean-cut answer, that was his commander to try and figure out as of now, a burden to continue to grow in his gut once more.
Leo stepped towards the elevator, utterly tired, for now, unable to do much but wait for it to slowly yet surely fly downwards towards them. This ship was massive enough to constitute a city… But yet? This was simple to them compared to what had been done before.
Again, and again would it fade into the soggy background… And again, and again would it die out? He didn't even know at all and yet he wanted to, for now, knowing what happened if he didn't manage to relax once more.
"This is going to be a very long day… I almost don't want to deal with it the same way." Leo said, sighing as he watched the lift finally reach them.
"You should know this isn't exactly the first time I've been back here on an off-duty mission like this, I'm just not used to it being this often," Leo said as he stepped onto it and watched it seal behind them. "Roland? Can you please start it? I'm carrying a 6'ft spartan lady and I don't want to wake her." Leo said as he hummed.
"Never thought I'd hear that." Roland heard as he hummed. "Sure… I'll pass on what you need to say with Captain Lasky. Things are starting to get weird; I'll tell you that." Roland stated to which Leo hummed.
"Everything is weird when you get down to it, bud," Roland said as Leo hummed. "Sometimes I just don't get it at the end of the day," Leo said as he sighed and looked downwards at the ground.
Something about it all seemed to bother her again and again as Pyrrha yawned, looking downwards at the ground. Perhaps she would know again.
"You know… I don't know myself at times but I know it's been fun." Leo stated to which he could only sigh as he hummed before he relaxed once more.
He had a lot more to try and figure out what to try and do next, he would be utterly thrown off if he could think of it more and more as of the time being while he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth.
Pyrrha yawned as the elevator slowly yet surely rode up to the top floor, he would be more amused if this became a proper thing.
He had a LOT of plans on his mind and all this would be one of them sooner or later… Even if he could tire? He would relax more and more… Such problems bothered him but did not stop him, he would need to find a way to do so.
"The more I get to try and do? the more I feel run down, Roland." Leo muttered as he stepped towards the room, more and more confused and thrown off at the end of the day.
"That's the fancy girl at the end of the day?" Roland asked as Leo hummed.
"Yep," Leo said as he stepped towards her room. "She's a covenant terminator when she wants to be. She cuts through covenant so well I have a hard time believing she's human." Leo stated as he sighed.
Life had a way of cutting through more and more as he sighed once more, he cracked his fingers once again, unsure, and just as incapable of it for now. He knew something unsure and uncertain of it all at the end of the day, they had a face upon which he could relax more and more as of now.
Such issues mattered but not to the extent he needed them for now. He had bigger fish to relax upon for the time being would make him snap under the pressure.
He finally and slowly began the walk down the hallway, knowing it was one of the dozens here for the moment. He didn't at all know what the ship held and he was still trying to deal with every small little nook and cranny for now, knowing that such passages only the captain knew.
He could probably wander this ship for days and days and not know what was going on at the moment, something that was going to bother him for now, a message that he was going to relax upon dealing with.
He counted, patting each door as he passed them, knowing what was beyond these doors was just dozens and dozens of rooms that contained thousands of troops upon it.
"Ok… H-36…" Leo said as he counted each door. "Here it is… I feel like an adult putting a kid down for a nap." Leo muttered as he hummed as he looked downwards and sighed to himself.
"Where is she?" Leo asked before opening the door.
"You, ok?" Leo asked as Pyrrha nodded and tapped her foot against his leg. "Ok… I'm going to walk into your room, duck your head, you're going to slam your face against the door." Pyrrha heard as Leo ducked into the room before he looked downwards as he hummed.
The spartan found the display almost comical, amused more and more, unsure of what would become of it all at the end of the day.
It was something that would allow it to end for the moment. He would allow himself to try and figure out what to do next before he hummed.
"There's a lot of time to try and figure was to try and deal with as of now. This was something about it all won't be able to end for now, it won't be something to try and figure out." Leo said before he hummed and then looked downwards at the ground.
He didn't at all manage to do something else as he clicked his fingers.
"We're going to be here for a while, I'll have you know that… Not something that would continue to be dealt with." Leo said as he sighed. "There is going to be a lot of suffering before this is over. Stuff like this is what I enjoy but it's not easy to deal with, never is and never will be in a million years…" Pyrrha heard as Leo sighed and looked around the room.
"This is going to be a long day… A very long and tiresome day." Leo said before he sighed and looked downwards. "This is going to be fun as well," Leo said before he sighed.
(Present times)
Leo watched as another pelican descended, it was clear to him that more options had presented themselves again and again. If for nothing else? He was grateful, he had a desire to try and learn for now what was going on and this? All of it? The very idea of the Covenant not knowing something and yet wanting it?
The damn animals wanted something here and Jul was willing to wage war on all of Remnant for something. That bugged the Spartans as they secured the relic, starting to lift it from the ground with a few seconds of silence reminding them that it had once been a decoration of the place.
It was all he could and would do not to scram. If they knew something about Remnant the UNSC didn't? that didn't bode well, for anyone when it came down to it.
All of it continued to be odder and odder for him, unsure and damn well unknown how it all fit together and part of him didn't want to even entertain the idea of it all for now.
He guessed and knew that probably wouldn't ever do so, the madness continuing for now and it was honestly bothering him. he had to find out for now and would keep going and going and going before it cut him all up again and again.
If he didn't? he had a feeling his mind would be cut and dry for now, cut a lot more than usual and he wouldn't be able to handle it, not at damn all, it hurt to think. He had to get some air as a UNSC Hornet slowly yet surely floated down, willing to greet him in the manner he was used to.
Leo was met by the pilot as they saluted, reminding Leo that the UNSC military was still a big presence there.
"Sir? I'm to take you back to the Infinity for debrief, your friend as well… Captain Lasky is curious about what we found and he and the General he's been busy talking to." The pilot said as Leo nodded.
"And the site and security?" Leo asked as he set his rifle on his shoulder as he did so.
"We've been asked to dispatch a team to provide security… The general insisted mostly on his men securing the site mainly due to the fact well… This is his planet I suppose." Leo heard as he sighed and nodded.
Made sense. He didn't trust them. He didn't want to, not yet and it made sense because he was so eager to get to relax for now.
Oh, did the tables turn, and did he wish to scream knowing just how much was going on again and again while looking down at the ground once more? He was bringing it all down and down to the ground once more for now.
All it did was bother him for now, it bothered him to a degree that he could not possibly fathom under normal circumstances simply because he was tired.
The pelican slowly yet surely docked in the hanger, making the Spartan prepared only for it all to fall apart, something that could and would continue to end possibly and comfortably. He at least had enough problems to occupy his brain far longer than he supposed he should have let it.
He felt the pelican set down, landing gear finally settling on the ground for now. They had problems to deal with and he was good at handling them in his way, not handling them would continue to bother him as it always did. He had such measures to deal with, something that could and would always persist.
He hummed a lot more to himself as he looked downwards, he had a lot more to fathom and a lot more to understand. Whatever he did next was going to bother him, but what the hell else was new for now?
He exited as did the marines, followed shortly by both Pyrrha and Jaune. Jaune gazed around the hanger, still shocked by the scale of the ship, Pyrrha only followed Leo as he sighed to himself.
"We're to escort you to the bridge… Admiral's orders." He heard as he hummed.
"Admiral Osman wants to talk about this new mission and Admiral Hood is talking about things here." Leo heard as he hummed to himself once more.
"Then bring me there… Are they coming or is it just me?" Leo asked as he hummed to himself before he sighed.
They had a lot more to deal with, something that only seemed to involve far damn more than he wished.
Leo could only manage to relax as he looked upwards and at the sky, all of it seemed, to only bug him more and more, it felt almost as if he was sinking deeper and deeper into some sort of pit.
"You should remember that whatever comes next? I'm not involved in it." Pyrrha heard as she hummed and shrugged deeply into his shoulder.
He would continue to keep the idea oddly for now… It was a lot worse than it had any right to be and she knew it, wholly uninterested in any sort of fear or deals… She would fight and she knew it to the depths of the earth.
Perhaps it was this that made some semblance of control impossible. She didn't want to be controlled, she wanted to break something at the end of the day and she knew he did, for now, at the moment.
They had a lot more to try and figure out when they went back to it as now… Something about it wouldn't end anytime soon. She had a VERY large part at the end of the moment.
She had a VERY long amount of mercy as she looked downwards at the ground. This was going to be a lot more unsure and certain for now, she didn't at all know for now what to see and do at the end of the day.
This wasn't going to be a measure of control… It would be worse to handle at the moment, they had a lot more trouble as the elevator rode upwards, and yet? The spartan said nothing, perhaps thrown off by everything. Yes, thrown off by such features that even he of all people could only barely remember such a thing would persist for now.
They had a VERY long amount of amusement for now, something that would continue to be odder and odder at the moment as he sighed.
He clicked his tongue, not knowing what came next and not allowing himself an idea of what to try and figure out for now. It only made him want to laugh as he guessed the others were all too unfamiliar for now.
Yet? He felt peace for now, knowing that whatever he needed to try and deal with for now as he clicked his fingers against one another, perhaps tired only of what needed to be done for now.
"You should know it's not easy to deal with things like this. I should know. We're going to be stepping into a war sooner or later." Leo stated before he hummed and then yawned to himself once more.
He hummed as he sighed to try and figure things out… Something that kept growing more and more as he sighed and then rubbed at his temples while the armored spartan slowly started to ponder what was coming more and more upon what to try and figure it all out as he sighed.
There was a LOT more to this before he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. he sighed before he clicked his fingers as well.
Pyrrha only paused to try and watch as she sighed to try and think of what to try and figure out as he hummed to himself.
(Yesterday)
Leo could only manage so much seeing it all come to a head, something that he could understand. He stepped off the elevator, cradling Pyrrha on his back as he sighed, unsure of everything. What was he doing here exactly? Some sort of measure of peace?
Right, like a Supersoldier like him knew of such a thing, marinating within his sorrow and personal turmoil when it came down to it. He felt almost like he was sitting in the path of a hurricane and he couldn't just leap out of the way of it.
What the hell was that called? Because it is sure as hell wasn't loathing and it sure as hell wasn't moving on.
He felt Pyrrha yawn, humming as he walked her to her room. This ship felt more like a city than a warship. He could almost feel it surging in his bones for now, ready to hum a melody only he could seem to recall.
Terrifying? Yes. Peaceful? Also, yes in its way at the end of the day which was all he needed for now. There was a lot more to this when it came down to it and he? He knew, there was a lot of madness to it all.
He clicked his fingers against one another, interested in the way it all ended for now, something that he could not properly deal with for now.
He didn't know before now what was coming and he certainly didn't allow it to end as of now. He would end it, end it prim and properly.
Pyrrha yawned as he plopped the woman down on the bed, feeling more like a sack of potatoes than a woman who could probably seem to try and deal with more and more.
It made him laugh more and more as he sighed to himself before she sighed to herself as she hummed to herself. This would not be able to try ending as of now.
This would need to try and end before it came down to its end for the time being.
What would tomorrow bring? What would the day of the big fight be? Because he didn't know, he wanted to try and end, for now, something that he could dance around the ring.
There was just too much to try and fight through, knowing that it would all die out sooner or later. It just made his brain hurt to try and deal with for now.
There was a lot more to madness when it came down to it, he knew more and more at the end of the day what he did and what he would be as of the time being, he clicked his fingers against one another.
Leo at no point seemed to be able to move as he turned to look at her. Leo sighed and looked to see her pulling him gently, he said nothing more and more, he sighed, and then yawned once again. Yet again? He was able to relax.
Pyrrha hummed and leaned on him as Leo only sighed and then paused to himself, utterly thrown off for now. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow before he looked downwards at the ground.
"Are you always like this?" Leo asked, raising an eyebrow as she shook her head. "Your exhausted and don't want me to go anywhere?" Leo asked before Pyrrha yawned and nodded.
Leo said nothing, simply knowing that if he didn't? She'd probably act more and more like it either way.
"Fine… I'm not going to get my arm back when it comes down to it either way…" Leo stated before Pyrrha yawned and laid her head on the pillow, kicking her feet up like a kid half her age.
"You know… You're not at all acting like a spartan would… Screw it, I'll stay here, it ain't like you're going to let my arm go at all." Leo stated before he sighed and looked downwards at the ground.
It only made him laugh in amusement at her antics.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out that the next chapter will be in 2-10 months and will set up the remains of the season and such. This story will end in season 8. Until the 900–6500-word chapter that sets up the final part of this arc. Until then, Lighting Wolf is out!
