16:00 hours marine military time. Aboard Flag of Truth.
Covenant cruiser number 000-9763. Narrow hallway.
Master Chief ran down the battle ridden hallway towards the main bridge. Covenant blood scattered the walls dripping on MC's scared armor. He turned the corner to the main hall to find he was in a dead end.
"This door showed opened when I scanned the ship." Said Cortona in a confused voice. As MC turned he found himself face to face with 2 Golden Elites.I feel like this happens every time we come on to one of these things. MC thought to himself. Chief acted as fast as he could he pulled out his battle rifle and fired at the closet's Elite to him. When he saw the shields were down he took four more shots and the Elite fell with a great roar. When the second Elite moved closer he took his chance. MC jumped onto the ground and picked up a plasma grenade that rolled off the dead Elites body.
"No.... he's too close you'll kill us both." Cortana blurted out as MC activated the grenade.
"Don't worry I know what I'm doing." He jumped past the Elite and threw the grenade as he past. He rolled onto the ground and quickly jumped into what seemed to be a battle ridden room. As he started to catch his breath he heard a loud explosion and a series of what sounded like an Elites roars.
" Wow nice shot, and hey we are still alive."
"Years of little league helped a bit."MC said in a chuckle. When he looked up he saw he was in some sort of ammunition room.
"This room looks to have an opening in the south end." Said Cortana. MC scanned the room for weapons before he left, and set his eyes on a rocket launcher in the right corner of the room. He walked over and picked up the weapon.
"Hmm still loaded he put it on his back and looked around the room one more time before he left.
He walked across the room towards the dimly lit door. MC turned on his flashlight activated the door and scanned the narrow corridor for any covenant enemies.
"Alright all we have to do now is find those jailed marines in cell lock 227."
As the Master Chief walked down the small corridor towards the main hatch door he noticed something very odd, the marine's transponder signal was depleting in strength.
"Hmmm that is odd the marine signal was the strongest in that ammunition room we just were in. I wonder if that room was directly under the cell lock." Cortana said in a confused voice.
"Well why didn't you pick that up before?" MC said to Cortana in an angered voice.
"Perhaps the ships metal alloy disturbed the signal in that particular room." Cortana replied.
MC walked through the hatch door to find him self in the control room of the ship.
"Good now we just have to destroy one of the main fuel cells. That will give us enough time to get the marines and leave."
The Master Chief pulled the rocket launcher off his back, sighted it and fired two well placed shots at the first fuel cell in view. The Chief dashed towards the door activated it and ran. In a mater of seconds there was a huge explosion knocking the Chief off his feet.
"Are we all okay?" MC said in a sarcastic voice.
"We're fine. Now let's go." Replied Cortana
"Alright all we have to do now is find those jailed marines in cell lock 227."
MC ran through the scared hallways with a quick stride. When finally he found himself in front of the main door to the jailed marines.
"There are numerous elites guarding this room, you might have to get creative." said Cortana.
"I'll figure something out." Said MC
The Chief activated the door and awaited a covenant welcome. When the door was all the way open he peeked in and saw Elite bodies scattered across the room and two armored brutes walking around them.
"I always new Brutes and Elites were always getting in conflicts but I never would have guessed that they would have killed each other." Cortana said in a surprised sort of voice.
"That doesn't matter right now we just need to concentrate on saving those marines and getting the hell out of here." MC said in a battle ready voice.
The Chief ran into the large room and started to pull out his Rocket launcher when he spotted Sarge in the corner of the room with a sniper rifle at his shoulder. The Chief put down his weapon to let Sarge deal with the two brutes that were conversing with there backs turned to the Chief. Cortana radioed to Sarge to fire and he did just that.
With two well placed shots in the upper cranium just above the ears he fired at the first Brute and it fell. The second Brute with an awestruck look on his face put down his weapon and charged the Sergeant. That's when the Chief took his chance he pulled out his Rocket launcher, sighted quickly and fired. The Brute fell as the large projectile hit him in the back.
MC ran towards Sarge and put out his hand to help pick him up.
"Thanks, but I could have gotten him on my own." Johnson said to the Chief.
"Right, alright now lets get the rest of the marines and get the hell out of here before anyone knows were here. If they don't know already." Cortana Said.
MC ran over to the holographic control board and unlocked the cell doors.
"Get tactical marines we got to help the Chief get out of this Covenant hell hole of a ship. Move, move, move." Said Johnson to the released marines.
