Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 3

David ponders for a moment, "I'd like to go use the simulator...Tell me more, please?"

this is zeru i'm heading to the trophaeum do not detroy that base we may need it

=the arrives back at the trophaeum after he lands he heads to the bridge and takes the hidden tunnel and preps the koga for launch before heading back to the bridge to assist the comet=

=He comms the Tropheum=

Xazhi- Got it, Zeru!

=The Comet pulls away slightly and opens fire on the ships instead=

= he hasthe trophaeum change position and charges up it's haddron cannon and fires directly into the fleet destroying 10 crippling 9 and countless damage to many others he then heads to the koga and launches it=

launch as many fighters as you can

=He has one of the crewmen on the bridge engage the fighters. Doomers scramble to find their own fighters and launch. The battle rages for quite a while=

=i bang on the walls and on the door to my cell=

Bodies shall fill these halls, blood will pour, fire will consume! Let me out!

=i break a leg off of my bed and start smashing at the wall, not realizing that it's the wall shared with Ash and Draco=

=I walk back to the cell=

I thought you were peace loving, Dormii.

=I chuckle a bit=

"This is Staff Sergeant Knox, looking for a friendly UNSC Prowler in the area, if you are out there, please respond. Over."

=i keep smashing at the wall, i decide to fake insanity=

Who says I am Dormii Fortuni?

=i give him an evil grin= You wanted a super-soldier, but do you think you can control it?

Comms Controller: Roger that, Staff Sergeant. Where is your current location?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

You know, Spartan, the death penalty is right at your door.

=After a while of fighting, Xazhi comes to realize that even with the Tropheum and the Comet, they are outmatched against an entire UNSC fleet=

Xazhi- Zeru! Its Xazhi! We have to get out of here before we get obliterated!

=The fighters return to the ship=

For following my training? I killed that ship in self-defense. Marines attacked me, I attacked back. Every person on that ship tried to stop me, and see how well that turned out?

=i stab the wall with the leg, knocking out small chunks=

"Finally, sending you Coords now." I send the coords out.

=I cross my arms=

You didn't comply, Soldier.
Let me tell you something, have you ever noticed why I kept you and Jay alive?

i know but they're starting to disengage if we can make one final push we can force them to retreat we can do it i have faith in your abilities xazhi lets show them what we can do

=flies the koga and starts engaging the ships while the trophaeum starts to move in as well while avoiding as much return fire as possible

=She snaps out of her thoughts looking at Draco=
I screwed up... I don't think they want me any more...

=She begins sobbing silently again=
I... I thought we could fight our way out... But its no use...

No, i don't. Enlighten me. Also, I don't comply unless I agree with it. I don't agree with you, or ONI.

=larger chunks come off the wall=

(He walks over to her)
(He sits next to her)
@Ash
They will always try and get us.
This is a chance they have gotten.

(He shakes his head)
I dont know.........what to do.........

(He hears banging in the cell next to thiers)

=The ship keeps firing on the UNSC ships=

Xazhi- Zeru, cut the losses! We have to go, now! Both the Tropheum and the Comet are taking heavy damage, and we're still outnumbered Four to One!

=I lean against the door=

Because we need men like you.

=The Colonel comms me=

Colonel: Soldier, get Spartan Ash and Spartan Draco to my office immediately.

Yes sir

=I begin to open their door as if it were a chore=

------------------------------------

Comm controller: Thank you, Staff Sergeant, you may come into the AO

=She looks at the wall where the loud banning is coming from=
What the hell is going on?

=She looks at the door of the cell=
Oh great... Not again...

"Thank you, moving for link, and un-cloaking." We move up to there ship, and link our Hangers, and we are told to go to the Colonel's office.

(He looks up at the door)

What could they want now

=I sigh=

Both of you, please come with me.

------------------------------------------------

Comm Controller: That is a negative, the Colonel will call you in when he is ready.

Xerces- "Well, I don't really know that much about the Simulator....Perhaps using it would be easier for you?"

"Okay, we'll be on my ship if you need us."

=i keep hammering at the wall, larger and larger chunks coming off, but no hole yet. i keep faking insanity=

You can't cage me! I AM DORMII MALI!

David nods and walks over to the simulator, hopping in it, "So...How does it work?"

=I gesture to hurry up=

Please, hurry up, I don't need him getting out of control.

--------------------------

Comm Controller: Roger that, Out

=he starts to comm the trophaeum when the unsc fleet starts retreating=

your not getting away that easily

=he fires the particle cannon hitting a frigates bridge causing internal ruptures through out it's hull, he then whatches as the last ship makes the jump, he then comss the comet=

xazhi u there could u pick me up i don't have the energy to fly back the the trophaeum

=passes out while drifting=

Xerces- "Well, you put this IV in and.... Let the AI show you what you can do."

=She stands up sighing, full of fear=
Fine... Were coming...

=She looks back to Draco as she walks closer to the door=

(He stands up and walks next to her)

Xazhi- On the way Zeru.

=The Comet sends out a large vehicle transport and tows Zeru's fighter into the hanger of the Tropheum before heading back to the COmet. The soliders throughout the ship let out a cheer, for it has been proven that the UNSC can be defeated by forces other than the Covonant=

=I close the door=

Danke.

=I begin to escort them to the Colonel's office=

=i stab at the dent i made, causing my makeshift hammer to burst through=

I WILL NOT BE CAGED! NOT UNLESS I WILL IT!

David nods and injects himself with the IV, waiting for the AI to come online and show him what he needs to do.

=Ash sighs as they pass the other cells she hears Dormii still shouting as the continue to walk away=
I never thought this would happen...

=She looks to Draco=
What are they going to do..? What will they do to us...

(He takes her hand)

I do not want to lose her. I would lose myself

(He looks into her eyes)

I love you.

=We walk down the halls, me mostly silent=
I hope their decision isn't too rash

=I look at Draco when I hear those words and I try not to feel any emotion=

=She looks into his eyes, small tears of fear falling down her face=
I love you Draco...

=She becomes silent again not saying anything, she regains her composure=

=We reach the Colonel's office and I gesture for them to sit=
=I stand behind them=

=She walks inside following Snow's gesture=
We can't fight it...

=She takes a seat inside, looking back at the door briefly=

(He follows, sitting next to her)
(Taking her hand)
(Fear is not seen in his eyes)
(He stays composed)
(Strong)

=I stand behind them with my arms behind my backed as regulation=

Colonel: Spartan Draco and Spartan Ash, you have both been convicted of desertion of the United Nations Space Command Military. Is that correct?

=I stare at them both with no emotion=

(He looks at the Colonel)
(Remembering)
Silva-SHOW NO FEAR IN THE FACE OF THE ENEMY. NO EMOTION!
Recruits-SIR YES, SIR!

@Colonel
Yes

=She looks at Draco, her heart began to race again=
What should I say...?

=She looks back at the Colonel wanting to nod, she repeats after Draco=
Yes...

Colonel: Thank you. Dante Faulkner, you have been convicted of the murder of 36 recorded UNSC Marines.. is this correct?

=My hands start to squeeze together=

=Ash looks at Draco her heart still racing, she began to feel sick=
Draco... What can I say....

@Colonel

This is correct.

Silva-SHOW NOTHING TO THE ENEMY! MAKE THEM BELIEVE EVERY WORD YOU SAY!
Recruits-SIR YES, SIR!
