Chapter 6: Complications

Quote :

Ash, Draco, Dormii, Xazhi, and Snow have landed on a Rebel planet after escaping from a UNSC prowler.

Jay is missing, drifting through space after leaving the operation to rehabilitate the others to rejoin the UNSC.

Ash and Draco are engaged to be married. They are is a hospital. Ash is on the roof, Draco is in their room.

Nikolaus has crash landed on the planet after an unknown event. The others went to investigate, Dormii had a flashback, and Ash found the box of her past that Nikolaus gave to her.

Matt and Scythe were on the planet before.

David is going through the initiation to join the Black Hand.

Tar-tun and Senox have just now crash landed on the Rebel planet. Dormii is going to investigate

=He changes into his normal clothes and leaves all his armor and weapons, excluding his EK, in his room. He decides to have a walk around town and get aquainted with his new surroundings=

(He unholsters the HC)
(He reads the engraving on it)

Consumed by the darkness.

(He sighs holstering it once more)

Engulfed by flames.

=i try to follow the Pelican in the warthog, but it goes too quickly. i see an Elite running after it. I pull up alongside the Elite=

If you want to catch up to that Pelican, get in.

=I turn to face the Demon.=

@Dormii: You wish to help me Demon? That is unlikely of your kind...

=I climb into the seat next to the Demon.=

@Dormii: I am Senox 'Moranee. You are?

Dormii Fortuni. And I've had enough war for one day, don't give me a reason to continue it.

=i drive after the burning Pelican again=

@Dormii: I do not plan on bringing violence Dormii Fortuni. But I ask... Do you know where the 'Broccoli' is?

No. And why do you ask?

=the Pelican get's closer to the ground, but it is still too far for me to see any details=

@Dormii: The 'Broccoli' is an enemy to everything! It must be destroyed... Not even the young of your species like to eat it. My friend Tar-Tun, the one in the burning Pelican told me about the 'Broccoli'.

So? They're kids. They don't have to eat it. And Tar-tun is on that thing? Well, let's go get him.

@Dormii: Arent kids the young of the things you call Goats? Not even the animals on your planet eat 'Broccoli'?

David takes the pills, grabbing a bottle of water and downing one. He tossed them back to the woman, watching the two bicker amongst themselves with a small smirk on his face.

No, kids will, but human kids, children, don't have to eat it if they don't want to. Kids are both the young ones of goats as well as a term for human children.

=I begin to work on anything that looks wrong on the Pelican, occasionally looking at Ash, making sure she doesn't jump off the roof=

=I begin to watch for Rebels as well...=

@Dormii: The young on your planet can decide what they eat?

=I look at the burning Pelican as we get slowly closer, but it is still to far away for any detail to be seen.=

Tar-Tun will survive... He must survive...

Tar:

=right before it crashes=

found it!

=He jumps out and activates the jet pack=

I did it!

=The jet pack doesn't produce enough lift in time, Tar hurtles to the ground and lands in a tree=

Susan, "wait, I think i gave you the wrong pills....."
Jasmine, "I knew it!"
Susan, "Shut up! I think i gave him......"

David begins to feel light headed....and aroused.

David holds his head, looking up to Susan, "What the hell did you just give me..."

Yea, they do. As long as it's healthy and doesn't kill them, they pretty much eat what they want.

=the pelican crashes and we hurry to reach it=

=Tar is way up in a Tree not visible from the ground=

=We get to the crashed Pelican and I look around.=

@Dormii: Do you think he made it? Or has the 'Broccoli' claimed Tar-Tun?

=his helmet falls from the tree and splits in half=

ugh...

Broccoli doesn't claim anyone, it simply is eaten. And if you don't see a body, he probably made it.

=i get out and look around as well. i see a helmet fall=
In fact. I think he is above us.

=Ash looks over the edge of the roof again holding the box so tightly her fingers hurt=
I just want to be free from all this... I just want to go home... Home...

=She looks up to the sky small tears forming in her eyes, she wipes them away barely taking her hands of the box for a second=

@Tar: Where are you Tar-Tun? If you are dead, then don't reply...

=I look at the tree where Tar's helmet fell.=

=i start climbing the tree, trying to get a better look=
Hey, Tar-tun! You up here?

up hear!

=I wave to them=

can you help me?

=i call up to him= Well, we can try. Got any sort of blade on ya?

@Tar: Why are you in a tree, Tar-Tun? Perhaps... The tree is a creation of the 'Broccoli'!

@Dormii: Hurry, or the 'Broccoli' will capture you!

@sen, It's not the broccoli...

@Tar: Oh.

@Dormii: You require a blade?

=I throw my Curveblade so it impales the bark near his hand.=

@Dormii: Use it well.

What the hell did you tell him?

=i grab the curveblade and start working on the branches. to Senox= Next time, try tossing it to me instead of impaling it near my hand.

@Dormii: I am trained to use it to kill. The fact that I did not hit you is an achievment.

=somewhat sarcastically=
Good to know.

=i manage to cut Tar-tun free. he falls to the ground. i jump down after him=

ouch!

= he tries to get up=

thanks for getting me down

You're welcome, Tar.

=i hand the curveblade back to Senox and help Tar get up=
You okay?

I guess...

=he sees his helmet broken in half=

Shit, no!

@Dormii: Where do we go now, Dormii Fortuni?

=I climb into the passanger seat of the Warthog.=

=to Senox=
Just wait a few minutes.

=to Tar-tun=
What?

My helmet, It's broken!

=I go grab the pieces and hand them to him=
We may be able to find a workshop or something in the city. That is, if they don't shoot us first.

why would they shoot us?

@Tar: It will most likely be because of what I am. A Sangheili. Not all of your race give a second though to killing my species. They see us and they shoot us. Perhaps I should stay here, and let you two go back?

Well, they are rebels. An Elite being here may not make anything better. Plus, they don't like us anyway, well, Ash, Draco, Snow, Xazhi and myself. So, yea, they may shoot us.

no come with us...

By the way, Dormii, where are the others?

Hospital. You'll see, if we make it that far.

@Both: Perhaps you could say you have captured me? It may give them reason not to execute me.

that might work...

=i hop in the driver seat of the hog=
Tar-tun. Get in the back. If you have a weapon, unload it, and point it at Senox. We might be able to convince them he is a prisoner.

=he pulls out his Spiker=

this will do?

=he hops in the back=
