Chapter 5: Revelations of the Past

Typical idiot. It is not your blame to bear.

I turn his hand to face me

It is mine.

I kiss him, admittedly very awkwardly due to my injury

=i kiss her back. My arms reach up to hold her close=

Gonna stop being silleh now?

I smile, rather lopsidedly

=i smile at her= No promises.

=i hug her and lift her up, kissing her as i do so=

I kiss back smiling

This is hard to do. I really need some practice

=i kiss her again= Allow me to teach.

=i adjust my arms so they rest under her= Would you like to go back to the room?

I think i just need to heal up a little more.

I fall asleep in Dormii's arms

=i set Jay down on the bed of the medbay, making sure she is comfortable. i pull the blanket up so she stays warm and then lie down on the bed next to hers. i try to sleep, but several things keep me up, one of which being Jay. The others being things like Mali, Aurafell, the scars, everything that has happened lately. i just lie on the bed, watching Jay sleep=

=Ash watches Draco she still hidden, having seen the whole event=
Who would want to do that....

=She looks at the attackers now on the ground, their smg's scattered the floor=
I have to find out... I'm sick of these lies...

=She sneaks over to the bench where Draco was attacked, taking care not to be seen by him=
Its the only way... I don't have much time.. They could be leaving right now...

=She reaches down grabbing one of the smg's, checking to see if its loaded=
This will have to do...

=She cocks the guns as she begins to run back to the Hotel, her training kicks in=
Whoever did this Nikolaus is involved... Somehow...

=She reaches the Hotel entrance, she peers her head around the corner, seeing the clerk talking to a man at the desk=
There you are... You should have run...

=She enters the Hotel sneaking up on the man at the desk and knocking him out with the end of her gun, she lifts her weapon at the clerk preparing to fire=
Who the hell do you work for!? What was the memo for!? Tell me now!

=She quickly glances round the room looking for anyone else, still keeping an eye on the clerk=
Empty...

=She continues to point the gun at the clerk=
Tell me now! You have ten seconds!

The Clerk

=Stuttering=

I work for the H-h-hotel! the M-m-memo was given to me by a short m-m-m-man with a b-beard! I don't know what-the Memo was for! I swear!

=the woman breaks down into tears=

(He snaps out of it)
(He looks around once more)
(Searching with his eyes)
(He stands and runs to the hotel)

=She continues to point the smg at the clerk, not paying attention to the tears=
Don't play games with me! I'm sick of it! I want answers now!

=She looks at a clock on the wall=
You have ten seconds!

The Clerk

=on the verge of hysteria=

I told you! I work for the hotel! a short man with a beard gave me the memo! what the fuck else do you want from me!!!!

(He rushes into the lobby)
(Seeing Ash pointing the SMG at the clerk)
(Noticing the clerks tears)
(He walks up behind Ash)
@Ash
Calm down.
Put the gun down.

(He looks at the clerk)
@Clerk
Tell us about the man.
Did he say anything.
Did he just give you the note and leave?

The Clerk

H-h-h-he......had a scar....going down the right side of his face..... he.....had brown hair.....h-h-he h-had tattoos on his neck..... he........ told me the memo was from a friend of Draco's.........I don't know.......

=somewhat calming down=

(He looks at Ash then back to the clerk)
(His eyes soft)
(His tone stern yet reassuring)
@Clerk
Okay, Thank you for your cooperation.

(He makes a mental note of the description of the man)

The clerk

=passes out=

=Ash drops her gun, watching the woman faint=
If I find out she had anything to do with this...

=She walks out of the hotel frustrated with the way she reacted, letting the smg drop to the floor=

(He walks after her)

=after going over some data he heads to the vehicle bay and grabs a falcon prepping it for takeoff=

=She paces in the street, panicking about what she just done=
I'm such an idiot! You can't just pull guns on people!

=She looks around the empty streets=
What now!?

=She looks up at Draco=

(he looks at her)
@Ash
We got some information.
That is good.
It may not have been what we wanted, but it is something

Something!? Something! people are trying to kill you Draco!

=She looks around the streets again looking out for other people, speaking nervously=
We have to leave now Draco! What if they attack us again!?

(He looks around)
(The streets empty)
(Ghost Town)
@Ash
Alright, We will go.

(He looks around one more time)

=after he gets done his A.I alerts him of the results of the bases schematics he requested a ways back he notices a door in the outer wall and goes to check it out and takes a falcon to the location and sees a scanner he places his hand on it=

"Alright, listen up boys. These people got a high fucking bounty on there heads, and the leader wants it. They are spread out on the only city on "Shadow of the moon" in the Datura system. We are told to go down, and take our bounty. Ooh-rah?"
"Ooh-rah Sir!"
"Alright, lets do this."

I ran into the Hanger bay of our ship and jumped into the back of our designated pelican. "Ah Collins, back in action my friend." I looked up seeing Reznov. "Hell ya, who's our targets?"
"I'll just tell you, you need to forget your history if you want to take the shot."

My history? Oh no

"Hey it was going to happen."

I looked down at the BR in my hands, and loaded the rifle.

The Pelican, plus 4 others, lifted off the ground, and headed towards the city below.

=He gets up, still in much pain. He notices his armor on the side of the bed and new bandages on his wounds=

Voutan- Zeru.
=He smiles. He comms the Solun Spirit through his armor=
(comms) Sunreion, are you there?

Sun- Voutan..*&^ The Spirit %(^* is )(& bad )(* -pe. Bu- (&#* -an (^&* -age it. Sen- (*& -ordinates.

Voutan- Ill try, Sun.
=He looks at his wounds=
This is going to be horrible...
=He gets his armor on and heads into the courtyard, looking for anyone=
Hello?

=i hug her back= Have any good dreams, meo amo?

Can't say i remember if im honest

=i raise an eyebrow with a smile on my face= Oh, really? What about you telling me it was just a dream?

=one my my hands runs itself lightly down her arm=

That was a different dream. From a different time.

=i sit up a little= Tell me about it?

=I look at my device=

Emergency lair moved.....interesting

No, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that your here.

I reach for him and pull him back down again

=i lie back down next to her and look into her eyes= Don't forget you. You are, after all, the one who keeps me sane.

=i show her the scars on my arms and chest=

i gasp slightly

Dormii. Why

=i shake my head= I don't know. I was told that I was trying to punish myself, to cause infinite pain for harming you. I was told that as they closed I reopened them. I don't remember any of that happening. The last thing I remember was your scar, then heading back to the bunker I found to continue working on my mural. Apparently my mind fractured, but is back together again? I don't know. I'm afraid to look into myself, because all I'll find are demons and monsters.

That was the most confusing thing ever...Of all time...

=i smile slightly= I know, I hardly understand it. Best I can put it, I lost my mind because I thought I hurt you. I don't know. I just don't know.

=i lie back and look at the ceiling=

=gets frustrated and rips the scanner out of the ground and puts it in the falcon before heading to the damascus testing facility=

maybe that facility will at least have something useful

I lean myself over him, blocking his sight line.

Does it matter now?

=i wrap my arms around her and pull her close= No, it doesn't. As long as you are fine, I'll be fine.

=i kiss her=

=Walking aimlessly=

where did all the people go?... oh no.... Draco..... that means the anti-UNSC groups are going to.......

=I look at my map and run in the direction of the hotel, and then stop, suddenly, i feel a chill crawl up my spine.=

how could they clear people out so quickly?....

=I start up again, I realise i'm across the street from the hotel, i retreat to the shadows, I see Draco talking to Miss Cole=

The Blue Suns...... maybe? or just Anti-UNSC?

=I pick up communique from the Anti-UNSC brigade=

shit...

"Sir, looks like the Criminals are moving around down there"

Locklear looks out the back of the Pelican."

"Don't worry about it, we have an objective."
"ETA to Hotel, 4 minuets."
"Alright, these individuals are extremely dangerous, and are on the top of the most wanted list of the UNSC AND other Bounty Hunter Organizations, we are tasked, to either take them alive, OR dead. We get a bigger paycheck if left alive. Everybody load up, and make sure your ready for a firefight."

That works both ways.

I guess it does. =i lie there for a second, hold the woman i love close= So, what do we do now?

I shrug

For once in my life, i do not know.

=as he arrives at the facility=

this is it?, this is where the mjolnir armor was made and tested thought it would be more, oh well might as well have a look around

=he heads inside turning on his helmet search lights=

I can show you my mural. It has just about everybody on it. It is a bit of a walk, though.

=my hands lightly massage her back=
