Nice story, but I read this whole thing as a series and I think the previous ones are better.
Anyways, thank'ee sai.

Hey, long time, no fanfic. (You're all allowed to make the interpretention you want out of that.)

The story was good, but not blazing good and exceeding-my-expectations-esque, this was one of the few times I got what I expected.

In my opinion, you didn't have that... the... that...something that made me stick to the screen in the previous chapts, and forget the fact that your characters fought the Flood.

It was equally good as your other stories, but through my eyes you had more material to work with.

Still, this series rock, it's one of the few I follow, and I will continue to do so until it ends.

HEY!!!! Who said Neo died. I mean, why did it show a glimps of his vision (lights everywhere) deal is he was dead? Huh? Huh? Naw, JK.

Sorry, CoLd. I really have not the time to read this right now, but I'll get to it eventually. I was making sure I had read the one previous to this...and almost got lost in your story archive. Phew, you have a lot under your belt for an eighth grader. Man, keep writing, you could turn into a great Novelist!

Heh, just imagine the scene with Neo and Smith by replacing all the other Smiths with Flood forms. Neo is the Master Chief and Smith is 343 GS. Or whoever you like, geez, stop bothering me.

The flood are wondering around out in the rain is kinda funny. Makes 'em sound stupid.

Thank 'ee, Mr. Mainevent.

Yeah, I tried to paint a good mental picture of a huge battle. I took parts from movies and converted them into my story, kinda:

It's storming hard, like in the Matrix Revolutions (the last scene between Neo and Smith).

The Marines are marching across a huge plateau fighting Flood that are coming from the structure, and Covenant that are coming down the mountain. (Kinda LoTR.)

And that's pretty much it, I'm glad ya liked it!

I liked it a lot. It painted a frantic battle I could believe was happening. Though, I wish you had stayed with Jake a little longer. The switch to the elite kinda ruined the mood for me.

And I listen to Edgen's music when I type my stuff. That's good shit.

Mainevent
12:43 am | May 6, 2004
No, but you mentioned I suck once or twice.

Well, I'm happy I helped influence you, it's always good when someone says that. It'd be great if you tried again. But if it's too painful, don't bother. ;)

Oh damn is the next one out already? It feels like yesterday ch. 7 was sweeping the FF section. I don't have much time right now, but I'll read it as soon as I do.

Ah, well, I understand. But don't give up on this series, there's still a little bit more to come.

And I'm coming out with a short story featuring an ODST squad, I'll make you proud with that one. Count on it.

Attention to dtail is excellent- felt like an excert from a novel. I'm comming into ths series right here, so I'm unfamiliar with the plot- so I won't make any commens to that regard (the story does sound intersting though, and the characters caught me as quite strong).

Overall, I'd call this a very convincing and detailed work of fan fiction.

God job.
