Chapter 6: Complications

(He stops)
(His eyes still glazed)
(He reaches out for his pills)
(He grabs the bottle and takes the final pill)
(Hie eyes De-glaze and he sits up)

Not until you let them go and swear to stop this war on Broccoli. You are fighting over food. It's pointless. More pointless than every other war.

=I look over at Dormii.=

@Dormii: No war is pointless, at least the Sangheili wars aren't. You and your race get nowhere with each war, just stumbling for the biggest gun. Now pass me my blade.

=I pull out my Energy Sword at the mob member's neck.=

@Scythe: What is... magic?

(He stands and heads off to their room)
(He enters and sees both Ash and the box gone)
(A note on the table)
(He takes it and goes to the bed)
(He breaks the seal and begins to read the note)

@sen, There miracles, things beyond understanding!

=I pull a card out from behind Senox's head=

this is magic...

=I walk up and see an Elite=

Oh hell no!

=I point my Assault Rifle at him=

Put the blade down, freak!

(He finishes, placing the note beside him)
(He brings his hands to his face and begins to cry)

=As they got to the crash they starting searching around it=
(Fox) "Turn on your gun flashlights"
(Sgt. Capps) "It looks like it has already been searched, nothing is here."
(Fox) "Yeah, maybe we should head back."
(Pvt. Ray) "Sir, more rebels on patrol heading our way"
(Fox) "Damn, get down, turn off those lights!"
=They watch as the warthog stops in front of the site=
(Pvt. Gonzalez) "Why won't they leave!"
(Rebel) "Hold on, I need to pee"
(Driver) "Hurry up"
=They watch the Rebels pass=
(Pvt. Ray) "Phew, I thought we were going to get caught!"
(Fox) "Ok, lets go before more come."
=They start heading back to the base.

Senox, you are killing these people over FOOD! That is the same as a human war! Let. Them. Go.

=I look over at the Human calling me a freak.=

@Snow: Put your gun down pathetic human, or by the time you pull the trigger this man will be dead, and your body parts will be... Seperated.

@Scythe: The Prophets once talked about the miracles beyond understanding...

@Dormii: Hand me my BLADE! Or this man will have no HEAD!

That's it!

=I pull down the trigger letting rounds blast into his shield=

@Senox, The prophets told you about this?

=I flick my wrist and a 2 other cards apear in my hand=

If he loses his head, you lose yours. You will not die a hero's death, I can assure you.

=to Snow=
Snow, you idiot.

=i sweep his leg out, sending him to the ground=

=I hit the ground and I retrieve my rifle=

He is an alien!

=I stand back up and reload=

=i turn to Snow=
Are you any different to him?? Just fucking stop trying to be UNSC for a moment and try to be EQUAL DAMMIT!

=i kick the gun from his hand=

=I let go of the man.=

@Dormii: I do not... Know what came over me...

@Scythe: Not specifically...

=I throw my Energy Sword to the firing human and take my Curve blade back off Dormii.=

@Snow: Then you will fight me, blade to BLADE!!

WOAH!!!

=I activate my scythe=

Easy does it guys!

=I look at Dormii=

Yes! I am different, I am human, he is an Alien.

=I draw my knife=

@Scythe: Put your 'Scythe' away. He shall fight.

=I look at the soldier.=

@Snow: Then the true warrior shall win...

=Xazhi walks out of a movie theater and back into the streets. He can see the hospital in the distance, and a bunch of bodies in the courtyard. He regrets leaving his armor and weapons behind. He looks down and sees that he only has his EK with him. He sighs and starts to walk towards the hospital. He takes a few steps and is swept into an alley. He feels an impact in his chest. He feels it again in his shoulder, twice in his stomach, and once more in the chest. He falls to the ground feeling cold yet warm at the same time. He looks out of the alley, his vision blurred. He sees a figure=

Man: Told you i'd get you back one day, Jack.

=The man runs off. As Xazhi's vision and hearing fade, he manages to say only a few words=

Xazhi: Jack... is dead... I... am Xazhi............ Somebody...please...?

=he falls into unconciousness=

=I stand motionless, waiting for the first move=

=i find the magnums i flung away earlier in the corners of the room, but the ammo packs are not there. i grab both and point them at both Senox and Snow=

STOP THIS FIGHTING DAMMIT! DO NOT MAKE ME SHOOT! Snow, you idiot, what are you to him? He is an Elite, you are an Alien. You ever think of that?

=I keep my focus on the Elite=

He is still my enemy.

Why? Huh? Why? Because he is different? Because he didn't come from your species? In that case, why not kill off all of the pigs and chickens and insects?

BECAUSE PIGS AND CHICKENS DIDN'T GLASS OUR COLONIES!

=I grip the knife tighter=

So, blood for blood, is that it? Hammurabi code? Eye for an eye? Planet for a planet?

=I put my blade away and deactivate my shields.=

@Snow: Then kill me. Then you will be killed by your own species.

=I smile under my helmet=

Gladly.

=I lunge at the Elite=

=He lies there, gripping his chest. Nobody can see him in the darkness, and he cant muster enough strength to make a loud enough noise to be heard=

Ah, fuck...

=He clutches the wound, blood filling his hand=

Im not gonna make it out of this one...



Its what you wanted... Isnt it?

=He thinks of Miss Cole=

=i tackle stop Snow midlunge and pin him to the floor=
Okay, you want eye for an eye? I can do that.

=i grab his knife and throw it away. i use the butt of my pistols to beat on him where I saw the bruises on Ash. I don't stop, I keep hitting him, keeping him pinned to the floor=

=Tar sees everyone fighting=

*sigh* I wonder who will win...

=i rip his helmet off=
Well? Is this how you want to live?

=i start beating on his head with the pistols=

=I pull Dormii off of the Marine, Dormii still fighting my grip..=

@Dormii: No! These things do not define you! He is pathetic! You are not as low...

What can I say... Am I as bad as this Marine...?

=walks in and see's the brawl =
what the hell are you morons doing

=i pull Snow up, blood flowing=
Well? WELL? Is that how you want to live your life??

=I get up and dust myself off=

=I look Dormii in the eye=

Thank you.

=I put my helmet back on=

=i shove Snow over=
You are UNSC to the core. Never caring, never trying to understand, only killing what is unknown. Leave.

= I look at them all=

Most of you are idiots, and by most I mean Snow and Zeru...

(The tears stop flowing)
(His eyes glaze over again)
(He sits still on the bed)
(Looking through the door)
(Hoping she will come through it)
(Knowing she wont)

Trying to save humanity.

=I turn and walk away=

=walks up and punches him in the jaw=

oh really now you guys doing to stop fighting anytime soon?

@Snow: Trying to save Humanity? Do you ever wonder how many lifelines of Grunts, Jackals, Hunters and Sangheili you destroy?

=I turn around to the Elite=

Not my fault they follow a worthless cause.

=I grab Zeru by the arm and pull him towards me, while pulling him i launch my fist into his gut=

Shut up.

A worthless cause? What cause is that?

=spins and pins both his arms behind his back nearly breaking them=

you never learn do you here's an idea quit acting so high and mighty and follows orders for once

=He tries to use his phone to Comm one of the Spartans. He falls back into unconciousness. He dropps his phone on the ground, and it sends (Opens up comms. The send button on a cell phone). It transmits static and background noise=

You don't know?

=I stand firm=

Those halo rings or whatever they are, they are weapons. Weapons to kill a parasitic race.. by killing all living beings. Those fucking prophets are trying to activate them, killing all of us! This blood shed would be all for nothing if they activate them.. like I said.. saving humanity.

@Snow: And you do not follow a worthless cause? You win this war against the Covenant, then what will happen? Your race will begin fighting again, over who has the biggest rock.

=I sling my feet back wards hitting his leg making him fall over=

Really?

=I draw my scythe and put it to his neck=

What has been ordered?
