As he watched Halo blasting apart Master Chief looked for any ships that might have gotten off the surface somehow, but from the looks of it everything was destroyed. He breathed a sigh of relief and told Cortana to set coordinates for home. Just he was about to turn away he saw a ship coming out of the wreckage of halo.
"What is that, Cortana?"
"It appears to be the Truth and Reconciliation. They took off just before the explosion."
"What's their status?"
"Badly damaged, they only have ten percent power and their shields are at 15 percent power."
"Have they detected us?"
"No, their radar is off-line."
"What weapons do we have?"
"We have five archer missiles and one HAVOC tactical nuke. All armed and ready."
"Fire two missiles."
Two missiles lurched from the ship at the Covenant ship, one slightly ahead of the other. The first slammed into the ships shields then a couple of seconds later the shields flickered and went out. Almost right after that happened the second missile slammed into the ship.
"Report."
"That hit took all systems except life support and short range communications off-line. The engines are irreparable."
"Scan for life signs."
"Detecting twenty life signs."
"Flood of Covenant?"
"All Covenant."
"OK then let's board their ship. It shouldn't be too hard to take control of the ship. Then we can scan their databases and find the location of the covenant home world then report to the closest earth colony and contact FLEETCOM."
"Preparing to dock with the ship. Docking complete, get ready Master Chief."
The MC grabbed his M90 Shotgun, his MA5B assault rifle, and his MD6 pistol and opened the Longswords' doors. He looked around the room. He was in a large hanger with twenty Banshees and ten dropships.
"Scanning, two lifesigns, both Elites."
The chief checked his motion tracker; they were on the opposite side of the hanger and had just walked in and started walking around the perimeter of the hanger on patrol. Apparently they didn't now he was here but soon they would see his ship and set off an alarm. He had to get them before they saw the ship or him. He slowly moved across the hanger and then came up behind the Elites and hit each on the back of the head once and they went down without a sound.
"No other lifesigns in the hanger."
"Cortana give me a nav point to the bridge"
The bridge was a hundred meters away, not to for.
"Any lifesigns in the hallway?"
"Four Jackals patrolling the hallway they are heading for us, get ready they might be coming in the hangar. The Chief hid behind a crate and waited.
"It's OK Master Chief they have turned around, I suggest you take them out now while their backs are turned and they aren't on alert."
The chief ran into the hallway and smacked one with his pistol then he pulled out his MA5B and got another one but the last one ran around the corner before he could get him. Then all of a sudden an alarm went off and red lights came on all over the hallway.
