Phase 4: Lovely Outing

Within the week the rebels were purged from the planet of Veil and the Banished support there. Rosa, Yuri, and Olympia are taking out Storm forces and the Silver Team consisting of 4 Spartan 2s including Vannak-134, Riz-028, Kai-125, and Ethan-114 as team leader within an asteroid base.

"Man Alisa and Cortez are missing out on the fun," Rosa said as she wielded a Railgun to charge up a shot to blow up a Ghost with one shot.

"They are hanging out on Mars on their date. Oh wait, a nice outing they said," Olympia said as she didn't buy it with her using a Plasma Repeater stripping the Storm Elites of their energy shields while Rosa used her LMG to mow them down in a hail of bullets.

Yuri uses his DMR to clip Grunts and Jackals in the head to aid the Spartan 2s in taking over the asteroid station.

"Thank Fireteam Omega. We can take this from here," Silver Team goes forward to clear out the remaining Storm forces while Fireteam Omega keeps securing the outer regions of the asteroid base.

"Well, Mars does look nice this year. When we take a break, I can spend some R & R there," Rosenda said as they finished clearing out the asteroid of Storm troops.

Within the city of Mirage on Mars, the duo Cortez and Alisa were here to have the week off to enjoy the sights of the beautiful Martian skies. "Man, it's good to be home," Cortez said as he contacted his mother he was on the planet awaiting Alisa from getting dressed in the bathroom.

"Hey there sweetheart. Welcome back home to these thick Martian skies," his mother said.

"Well, I have Alisa here as well. The woman I told you about," Cortez said.

"Yes, you can't stop talking about her. You both are Spartans working together to protect mankind. I heard about you all stopping a rebel cell on Veil," his mother said.

"Yes, mom. These rebels are getting too good with Brute pirates," Cortez said.

"Well, I hope you can visit your old mother. Catch up and bring in your cute girlfriend," his mother said.

"She is not my girlfriend," he denied.

"Doubtful, the way you talk about her is quite cute. I am excited to meet this woman who has gotten my son's heart. Catch you later dear," his mother said as she cut off the transmission.

"So that was your mother?" Alisa asked her to get out of bed to be in a very pretty outfit with Cortez looking floored.

"Wow, you look great Alisa," he said as perverted thoughts crept into his mind. "Screw great, she is so hot," he thought.

He takes a good look at this very tall blue-eyed angel with her short blond hair kept loose that passes her shoulder blades. She is wearing a white top with a knee-length blue skirt to show off her voluptuous curves like her 40G breasts, ample bottom, and long legs along with blue shoes.

"She is a doll," he thought with his eyes wandering around her figure but remaining focused on Alisa's beautiful eyes.

"Thank you, Cortez. Should we get going?" she asked.

"Of course," he said as they went out of the hotel to be at the entrance outside.

"You are looking good yourself Cortez," she said in her sweet voice as she leered her eyes over to her handsome knight. He is wearing a brown shirt and black jeans which highlights his lean yet short frame with white sneakers. "So handsome," she thought feeling her heart fluttering while wanting to have a deep urge to pet his smooth bald head.

"Thanks. Come on, let's go to the pier," he said as they looked upon the Martian city with the bright sky.

"So is this a hangout or a date?" she asked.

"Do you mind if it is a date," he said as she shook her head.

"Not at all, it just. I've never been on a date before," she said sheepishly about it. Cortez thought this was adorable.

"Always a first step Six," he said as she lightly nodded her head.

"Okay, let's go on our date," she said feeling excited about this as they went down the street to see the block filled with life and zest. "Good to be in the city. Filled with bounce and excitement," she said.

"You are talking about the city or yourself," he flirted with her as her large chest jiggled upon her movement and Cortez pulled his eyes away from her ample cleavage.

"Fresh, are we?" she said flirting back. "Rosa wanted me to freshen up my wardrobe. Add some more personality to it," she said.

"I think it works. Matches with your pale skin," he said as she felt her cheeks getting red.

"Gee, his words always get me fluttered," she thought as she recalled him getting a call from his mother. "Much be nice to have a living mother," she said feeling jealous about this.

"Oh yeah Spartan 3s are war orphans and you are no exceptions," Cortez said.

"Yep," she said plainly.

"Can I ask where you lived?" he asked being curious but not wanting to push any buttons.

"It's okay, that was a long time ago. I was born in the city of Damask in the human colony of Jericho VII on January 30, 2530. I ultimately survived the colony's glassing by the Covenant on February 12, 2535. When I was six years old, I was taken into the Spartan 3 program unless the Spartan 2s, I was given a chance to get revenge on the Covenant and I took it," she said with her eyes hardening at those dark ages.

"That's fucking rough, I am sorry. I was lucky Mars didn't get glasses like Jericho VII," Cortez showed his empathy for her as Alisa placed her hands awkwardly on his face to look into his cybernetic red eyes.

"That's sweet, thanks for your concern but that seems like a lifetime ago," she said.

"I mean it's hard to believe you managed to befriend an Elite after what happened," Cortez said.

"Things are never that simple. After what happened with the Elites and the Prophets. The prophets caused all this mess in the first place and the Elites were going to be extinct by their orders. That hate turned into pity after all this and now I am best friends with Sela who I hold dear to me,"

"That takes quite a bit of emotional strength to befriend your past enemy. Good for you, not everyone has the strength to forgive what the Elites did," he said.

"Yeah, I always dreamed of befriending a deep-sounding dinosaur," Alisa said lightly.

"Yeah, I am jealous of that. Every boy's dream," Cortez joked with Alisa's short blond hair brushing against the winds letting it dance along with it as they went off with Alisa's stomach growling.

"Oops, my stomach is growling," Alisa looking embarrassed.

"We can go to the local shop and get some grub," Cortez said.

"Sounds good to me," she said as they went to a nearby restaurant. They set up at a table to be outside with the beach in view to wait for their orders. "Nice seats," she said.

"Yeah, Martian oceans are a sight to behold. Just as blue and beautiful as Earth," he said.

"It sure does," she said as the waitress comes in.

"Okay lovebirds, what do you need?" she teased to make them glow in the face.

"We would like the endless meat stew, please. That would be okay," Cortez said.

"Of course, you are buying for both of us," she said with a smile as they got their drinks as well.

Within ten minutes, they got their drinks and a pot of meat stew with two bowls. "Here you go, ask for a refill if you want more stew or drinks. Have a good time," the waitress said to walk away.

"Wow, these smells so good," Alisa said as she grabbed a big spoon to pour the meat stew into her bowl to taste it. "Very tasty too," she said.

"I know right, they make some killer meat stew," Cortez said as they enjoyed their meal. Cortez is done with his bowl but Alisa has finished her 5th bowl. She lets out a cute little burp to pat her thin belly. "Oh wow, that was so good," she said for Cortez looked on with terror.

"Damn, she is quite a monster with her stomach, but she is so shapely. Where does she put it," he thought as he looked at her large breasts forming against her top. "Well, of course," he said to let out a big sigh and knew she was a Spartan 3 who had superior augmentations than he did as a Spartan 4. They both finish up their meal together while enjoying the ocean on the beachfront.

Elsewhere Silver Team is seeking out the weird activity of Promethean on the planet of Lemuria which has a lot of Forerunner ruins with Banished and Storm forces fighting all over the planet trying to gain control of resources.

The four Spartan 2s consisting of Vannak-134, Riz-028, Kai-125, and Ethan-114 are going through hordes of Crawlers and Watchers using their MA5K carbines letting all 54 rounds shred into their metal bodies leaving behind scrap metal. Kai tosses a frag grenade but the Watcher catches it with a tractor beam to toss it back.

"Scatter," Ethan said as they rolled out of their way. They are pushing forward with the Warden noticing that Spartans are coming in on his operating base.

"Seems like more of these soldiers are coming in," Warden said with the Didact via comms.

"Just like those Black-clad soldiers who tried to kill me before. Make sure they suffer the same fate," Didact said with a cold command.

"Of course, nothing but knockoffs of the Promethean warriors of the past," Warden said as he ordered his forces to focus and suppress their position.

Then several Phaeton gunships pepper their location with hard light autocannons and missiles to slam into them scattering them across the battlefield.

"We are being pushed," Riz said as a Sniper with a Binary Rifle can fire a powerful beam to score a headshot punching through her shield and vaporizing her head.

"Riz," Kai said as the Warden appeared to greet them to lob an energy orb to blast apart their cover.

"You will fall just like your comrade," Warden said to lunge in with his hard light blades with the gunships and Watchers giving him cover.

"Who is this thing?" they questioned firing their assault carbines at the Warden with him taking very little damage from their bullets.

"I am the Warden Eternal, I will be the last thing you ever see," Warden said to teleport out of sight. A Watcher puts up a frag grenade from the fallen spartan to fling it at the three super soldiers.

They roll out of the way but the Warden reappears to shove his hard light blade through the back of Kai and impale her through the torso.

"Kai," Vannak said as they were dropping like flies to this new enemy they had never seen before.

"Is that fear I smell," Warden said as he ordered the gunships to unload more explosives to push the two Spartan 2s back getting pressed by the overwhelming Promethean forces.

The Knights teleport in front of them to use their Suppressors to weaken their shields while one of them fires a Scattershot to break Vannak's shields leaving him vulnerable. The Knight stabs its hard light blade to chop off the head of Vannak.

"Damn it," Ethen tags the knight with a plasma grenade to destroy the robotic knight. The warden teleports behind the Spartan leader to drive his sword into his chest with blood pouring down onto the grass.

"So sad, you are nothing than a pale imitation of your original selves," Warden to slide the Spartan leader in half with blood and guts scattered on the ground. "These Spartans have been killed," Warden said wirelessly to the Didact.

"Good, bring them to the capital. We need to study them and adjust our forces to deal with them," Didact said.

"Of course, bring them back to the Maethrillian for study. We need to prepare for whatever the humans have for us," the Warden said as Soldiers grabbed them to teleport into a corvette to speed off back to the capital to research the dead Spartan 2s.

Back with the couple getting away from the shop to enjoy the warmth of the Martian day. "Yuri seems very attached to sandwiches," Alisa said.

"Long corny story behind that. 'An Alisa Sandwich'," Cortez said sounding like Yuri with his light Russian accent making Alisa laugh at his lame joke.

"Alisa Sandwich huh? I sound pretty good," she said.

"You sure do," he responds as Alisa glows in the face from this comment.

"Gee, you and food," she said lightly.

"I bet you taste better than the stew we got," he flirted.

"Gee, he makes my heart pound like crazy," she thought as she felt her heart was going to burst out of her chest.

They go through one of the big parks to see families having fun, children playing on swings, couples enjoying their company and people walking their pets.

"This is so nice here," Alisa said as the wind brushed against her short blond hair which was dancing against the wind.

"Not as nice as you," Cortez flirted as Alisa's cheeks felt warm at his sweet comment.

"You know how to treat me well, Cortez," she said with big blue eyes filled with longing for him.

"Just speaking the truth Six," he said as the wind was getting harsher with Alisa's skirt brushing against the wind.

"Man, it's very windy out here," Alisa said with long lean arms raised above her head.

"Yeah, it's like that sometimes around here," Cortez said as he sat on a bench when Alisa was about to sit down. A gust of wind blows by her as Cortez blushes from this very pleasant view.

"Oh fuck Cortez," Alisa said with a stutter with her skirt blown upward from the wind to reveal her lower body to the world, especially her crush.

Cortez can see Alisa's blue lacy panties which have a light blue little bow in the front. Her broad hips help fill out her panties along with her long thick legs and big butt on her lower half shaping a beautiful image for Cortez.

"Wow," he said as her skirt was still up for a few more seconds with her arms hanging above her head like she was striking a sexy pose with her face looking deeply embarrassed.

"Oh great, why me?" Alisa flushed badly as the wind died down for the lewd display lasted for 10 seconds but for Cortez and Alisa it felt like several minutes.

They stared at each other for them to both flush from the awkward moment. "Don't worry no one noticed," Cortez said trying to act calm. Alisa's mind is at ease but her heart is beating very fast from Cortez peeking under her skirt.

"Good or I will die from embarrassment," Alisa said to sit beside him with that image of her lacy underwear and curves burned in his mind.

"Alisa is a real doll," he thought as he had a goofy look on his face with Alisa noticing this.

"You were looking at my panties huh?" she questioned with a pout which he thinks looks cute.

"Well it's hard not to with them on full display," he said as Alisa let out a halfhearted laugh,

"Yeah I guess," Alisa said.

"By the way, they look cute on you," Cortez said as Alisa's face reddened further.

"Thanks, I wanted to look pretty for you so Rosa helped me pick them out," Alisa said.

"Mission success with that," he said as Alisa giggled at his sweet gesture to kiss him on the cheek.

"Thanks, big guy," she said to sit beside him to lay her head on his broad shoulder. "This date was pretty nice. Just the two of us, hanging out on Mars," Alisa said gently rubbing her hand on his chest.

"Yep, we got a week together here. Now I can't wait to show you my mother and my old family home," Cortez said.

"Oh we are going to meet your mother huh, no pressure," she said.

"You will do fine. Just be yourselves," Cortez said.

"Snapping people's necks?' she asked with a childlike glee.

"Not too much but you get what I mean," Cortez said as the duo became closer while enjoying the bright blue Martian sky above them.
