Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 4

=She stare at him for a moment trying to catch her breath, still unable to hear anything=
How..? How can someone let him do this...

=She looks at the door to the training room=
I can't do this... I need help...

Meh, He was traveling with the Two as far as I know, but apparently he had back up. He shot me a few times too.

=I stare at the two=

So, your after those three?

(Matthew)

I remember training.

(He chuckles)
(He stops in the middle of the hallway)
(He goes over to the wall and leans against it)

Hmm.

(He goes into his thoughts)

"Them two, and a couple of others. I got to look through the information again. But anyway. Ya, they got a pretty big bounty on there head. Taken alive gets even more." I sigh. I mutter, loud enough for Scythe to hear. "Hopefully I don't got to kill them.....Or take em' for that matter."

They seemed like good people... well except for snow...

=I take off my Helmet revealing my two coloured eyes=

Why are they wanted?

"UNSC reports say for killing men, destroying property, leaving the corps, heh. Basically all the reasons why I'm wanted. But, they were Spartans. The UNSC...and some insurgents, want them back. Now, I know most of them, spent sometime with them back a....year ago? They are nice people. I just want them to get the hell out of dodge. I'm only here cause I'm following orders. And so is Reznov." I look to my left. He's not there anymore. "Did you see where he went?"

=I look around=
no where did he go? I was a Spartan too... Heh, now I'm a bounty hunter and a Gambler.

"Huh, I was a Marine CASEVAC Pilot. Got captured, and joined up with this group of Rebels. Not bad people. That fellow who was making the comments is a good friend of mine.....but where the fuck is he? Whatever, he'll show up."

This little toy of mine- =I activate the scythe= -is home made.

I'm starting to run out of grenades, Snow took most of them.

So, how you plan to get off his metal heap of a planet?

"We got a small ship that has jumping cabilities in a shipyard. A couple of clicks out. We got to go back in." I check my watch. "Two Hours."

=I look around=

I need a place to go, I'm sick of all these jerks, I want in, in your little Brigade of bounty hunters.

=I stare at him=

You mind if I Join?

"I'll run it pass my leader." I shrug. "Best thing I can do." I get up. "If you want to come, then just follow. REZNOV!"
"What!?"
"Were going." He puts the man he was having a bar fight with down, and walks over.
"Already?"
"Unless you want the Captain on us again....."
"Ya ya."
"As I said, if you want to come with, just come with us."

=I put my helmet on and follow the Collins and the other man=

So what kind of ship you got?

"I want to say it's a pre-stage Prowler, it got the basic stealth, not all the high-tech stuff they got now. It get's us were we need to go."

not bad... I got a ship, but I can't find it...

"You misplaced a ship? Seriously?"

yeah, it was a real beauty too... Covenant Troop Carrier, took me 8 days to paint!

"Got that ship off the black market I'm guessing? That's where we got ours."

Ha! small world! Been meaning to get an A.I. for it, never did though...

Where you headed next?

"Probably back to our main base. To get debriefed and off this place."

Well, I'll be following you then!

"There's our ship." We walk up to it and get stop by two of our men.
"Collins, what's up man."
"Got a fellow bounty hunter here with no way off this rock."
"I'll ask the Captain."

He goes on the radio. A minute later he gets off. "He's all cleared."

you got security, I see, not bad...

"We brought 16 men for this mission. Most of them were for the Bounty." We walk into the ship and get to the Barracks. "We got a extra bed in here....That's if you want to sleep."

I sigh as im sat at my desk again

Code:

You know what you should do.

Yes and i presume you've got them on stand-by, even though you know my answer is yes.

Code:

As always

I flip on the intercomm

Ash, take some rest. There's no way you can manage like that. A few marines will be around with a chair for you so you dont have to struggle back to your cell.

Code:

 Draco?

His trust will be shaken. The code word is a last resort.

Code:

So you think he will come around

You could just tell me the outcome of all of this.

Code:

Spoilers

not tired, cool though...

So, do we need to go after Snow and the others?

=I stretch=

(He looks around the cell)
(He looks at the blood pool again)
(He clenches and unclenches his fist)

I am useless. Only a tool now

(He sighs)

The first chance I get

(He looks down)
(His eyes flash white, then back to red)

Snow will pay

(He looks up, looking through the window. An outline appears)

"That's if the boss wants us to go after them.....and if someone can find them." The intercom came on.

"Alright, we are waiting for two more teams, then we will be going back to base."

=I look at collins=

Teams?

"To search for the the Bountys, we didn't have any information on if they left or not. So we would send out men to look for em'."

I saw them leave... Snow dragged them along onto a ship and flew off.

=I watch as Ash is limping out with her escort=

She is right.. how CAN I do this...

=I sit down in an office chair=

=She looks up at the intercom, her hearing returning slowly=
Now you do something.... Did you watch it all... Did you..?

=She looks back to Snow, saying nothing as she's escorted out the room=
How could they just let this happen... I have to tell someone... Get help...

=She and the escort begin to walk back to the cells=

"Ya, last night the Captain told us we were going to be leaving today. But we still sent out one last search party to look. Obviously we aren't going to find anything. When they get back. We will be leaving and talk about what we found and such."

(Matthew)

(He sees a few escorts and a woman coming down the hall)
(The woman is badly injured)

Hmm. Not good

(Jon)

(He peers inside of the cell)
(Seeing Draco)

Dante-Jon...I know you are out there...come out of your active camo

(Jon disengages)

Jon-You hurt her again

Dante-What. No hey, hows it going.

Jon-Cut it, Draco.

hmm... well you can never be too careful...

My name isn't really Scythe, I should tell you, But it's been my name for a long time...

"That's fine dude, you don't got to tell us.....Well, maybe the General will want to know....But that is a different story."

=I start to reload my pistol and walk out into the hallway=

It has to be done..

I'm guessing the General is a very up-tight guy?

"Ya.....you can say that." I have a memory of when I first met him.....

I hope this general won't be to nosy about my past...

(Matthew)

(He walks up to the escort and the woman)

She is going to the cells correct. Ive got her.

(The escort walks away)

@Ash
Hello. My name is Matthew. Ill be your escort now

(Back in the cells)

Dante-I had to do it

Jon-I dont know how...But for some reason. She cant let you go.

Dante-Jon. I would like for you to leave.

(He does a mock salute)

Jon(Sarcastically)-Yes sir!

(Jon walks off)

=She looks at the man unable to hear him with the ringing in her ears=
Who is this man... What are they going to do to me..?

=She stares at him her stance becoming weaker=

(Matthew)

Hmm.

(Noticing her stance become weaker he helps her)

@Ash
Cant hear me?
Alright. No-Talking.

(He begins to lead her to the cells)

=i wake up, screaming. A delayed reaction to the pain of from the shock that knocked me out. i bolt up and look around=

What the hell just happened?

=She stares at the man shaking her head not understanding him=
This ringing! I just want it to stop! I can't stand it!

"Probably not, he only asked me what my rank and service was. But of course, I'm was a Marine, not A Spartan, I personally don't think he'll give you that much shit, if he asks you about your past."

=I walk back down to the cell area and cock my pistol=

That's a relief....... I was a sniper... what did you do?

(Matthew)

(They continue on)
(They get up to the cells)
(Jon passes them)

Jon-Matthew. Draco is just not listening.

Matthew-Stop trying to push it

Jon-If you want to talk to him he is back in the cell over there

(Jon points)

Matthew-Alright

(Jon leaves)
(They continue onto the cell, which holds Draco)
(Matthew opens the door)
(Draco stands and walks out of it)
