He stared at the body of the elite before him. The crystals of which his planet had mined being used by the enemy, and a thought entered his head these crystals were mined at a diffrent depth then the most recent batch before takeover. Sure enough the coloring was diffrent, it seemed larger then normal. He nelt to examine them when a plasma gernade landed at the top of the stairwell. As he jumped back he yelled "Get down now" then darkness.

The hologram stared into space from its perch. It had been modeled after its creators race and had a vaugley human look if you wrapped a human in wisdom, power, and age. It stared into space as the self-check system went through his data. He could not fall like the self-proclaimed gaurdians of the instillations. He felt time and space stir something was going to happen.

He was somewhere he had only seen in his dreams as Greg walked through the field he felt at peace, yet somethign would'nt let him rest. He saw others far off they seemed happy running through the fields. They were all his friends from home. Then more came his squadmates; that one word brought him to reality or as close as it comes in darkness. The cruelty of one little word e thought as smoke blackened the sky which soon turned into one face. Not human but something else something hated he remebered, an elite. The words came from no where but the face started to laugh the mandibles clicking together, and his friends were swept upwords by the cruel smoke. One face shone in the smokes grasp one he wish he had a name for, It was her. "No" he felt himself say then scream as the face was lifted away.

He felt light reach him, so pure compared to the dark. He groaned as he struggled to rise. He was alive but how. Greg then turned to see a horrible sight. Only two bodies belonging to unknown faces but the guns of everyone snipers, br55's,and the shotgun on the ground in front of him. Reality was harsh on its people. They were captured. He fell to the ground and screamed. He tore at his skin till a thought crossed his mind I can help them. He picked up his modified AR then slammed in a clip. He had two frags and one gernade specifically designed to be fired out the launcher; he picked up a plasma as well.Greg was aremed and dangerous.

Sam trudged on under the elites watch, his feet hurt he was thirsty and had a migrane from the shocker, yet still he could resist. They all could and they will he thought. A covert look at David was met with a nod, then to the others more agreement. David flicked out three fingers down to two now one, and slammed a fist into the jackals throte at zeroe as sam who was bigger tackled the elite. One of the snipers the straddled its bodie as he got up to punish a grunt and beat its face in. The girl had turned and lashed out the the elite with the shocker who was now overpowering her drawing the shocker back. Three carbine shots went into the air "Cease this rebellion at once or you shall be shot." The humans backed off and were hit hard by the elites. The elite now was ready to bring the shocker down on the girl when a torrent of fire took its head off. Then a shadow ran across the the floor and across a walkway above the street containing the troope. They all knew it was Greg.

Greg then took up another station and blasted a gaggle of grunts. Making sure they had lost him went down to street level. The group had ran on. He cought two of the stragglign grunts quietly and away from the methane lines. This would be fun.
The covenant was now traveling through a below ground parking garage. They had to go through some narrow areas but thought they had lost the "ghost" was now known. They came up to a narrow door way, and as the jakals went throught they set off the trap as the grunt tanks of methane emptied into the jakals. The energy shields ignited the mehtane and the jakals were no longer in need of burial.

"We might win this" whispered Sam. "Don'
t be dumb were all gonna die no matter what we do" The girl whispered back. This brought a response from David "What are you talking about you dumb"he paused momentarily"That is my friend out there and he has never failed to win before he will do whatever it takes to rescue me and especially y-" he was saying in a mad and determined voive when the shocker was brought down on him.

They were back at ground level when fire from Greg eliminated many grunts on the covenant team. He crept forward closer to his new window when a barrel of one of the enemy carbines poked under his hair. Oops was his one thought when his weapons were torn from him. The elites kept the knives but the rifle was broken.

They marched as Greg joined them with a carbine glued to the back of his head. The girl smiled and said "I win thats five bucks."
