Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 3

(Jason)

Good. Just tell me when we're docked. I need to see a doctor.

(Argo)

Will do.

(Gabby)

=Kenny and I stayed down in the engines for the duration of the trip. We still had a lot to learn about the ship, but so far, we were doing a good job=

(Dormii)
=to Xazhi=
That's your choice. But no more fighting.


=comm to Draco=
Draco. C'mon man talk to me.

=The pod lands. The door opens. A woman falls out, covered in blood and bullet holes. The inside of the pod is also covered in blood and bullet marks. Xazhi catches her=

Xaz- Damn bastards must've got her when she was trying to escape...



(Tar, Call me)

(Dormii)
=i look out the hanger for more pods=
Who is it?

... no one's here...

i need... attention...



Kota:

= he walks around, finding the hanger=

...

*Draco! Do not do it! I swear to you. I will never forgive you!*

=Her voice cuts through the comms=

*She would not want you to do it! DO NOT DO IT BROTHER!*

=He stands there=
=Motionless=
=Just looking into her face=

*Please brother. Do not do it*

(Dormii)
=comm to Draco=
Draco, talk to me man. What's going on?

=Xazhi looks puzzled=

Xaz- She's wearing civillian clothes... No weapons other than a knife...

=He draws the knife. enscribed on the blade where a T, a D, and a heart=

Xaz- She must have been that girl from the skirmish Recon-S2 had about two months back. If that's the case, i dont know who to notify...

(Miranda)

=I headed down to engineering to see Gabby=

Hey Gabby.

(Gabby)

=I turned around when I heard my name=

Oh, hey Miri! What's up?

(Miranda)

Nothing, I just wanted to talk.

(Gabby)

Sure, I've got time. What did you want to talk about?

(Dormii)
=i keep looking out the hanger=
You get a name from her?

Kota:

=he walks further in=

... what is it that is happening

=He takes a step to the crack=
=They both go through=
=He loads her up and gets in himself=

=Tears dried=
=Heart dead=
=Mind racing=

=He heads off to the co-ordinates of the planet=

=He looks for any form of ID. he finds a card that has a name on it. He shows Dormii=

Xaz- Nothing. But whoever she is, it looks like Tar-Tun will know.

(Dormii)
=i comm Draco again, not getting a response=
Draco, at least tell me where you are going, if you aren't coming back. Just let me know what is going on.

=to Kota=
A lot of complicated things.

=to Xazhi=
Aura...

(Miranda)

Nothing important. It's just been a long time since we've talked, you know?

(Gabby)

=I leaned against the wall=

Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, I guess first things first: How are things between you and Jason?

(Miranda)

Oh, they're good. We, had a fight a few weeks ago. Things got brought up.

=He remembers back=

Yes... I think i remember... i met her on Chi Ceti IV. we should try to contact Tar-Tun. I can only hope that he has not suffered the same fate...

=He tries to Comm Tar-Tun=

Tar? Ta, its Xazhi! Can you hear me!?

=They enter and land on the planet=
=He gets out of the Sabre=
=Throwing off his armor=
=He takes Ash out and removes her armor=

=Comms=
=Voice monotone=

A proper burial.
I am on Olympus.
You may join if you wish.

=He takes her into his arms=
=He had landed near the small lake=
=He sets a beacon for those who want to find him=

=Delta gets a blip on his HUD=

Zer- Xazhi, you are one cockey son of a bitch.

=He gets into a pelican and heads down to the planet=

(Dormii)
=i sigh and put my rifle away=
You are welcome to stay, Xazhi. Just let myself or Zeru know.

=i turn and start walking away, heading towards the pool to try and relax. i comm Draco=
I will let you do it for now. I will come say my respects later, after you've had your chance to talk.

Tar:

=he's in the mess hall, singing about himself like an idiot=

♪t-t-t-tar-tun! destroyer of broccoli!♪

=plays the air guitar, making guitar noises=

♪t-t-t-tar-tu- huh? hello tar-tun speakin', how may i help you?

Kota:

Clarify...

(Tar, the battle is Ship-wide. That includes the messhall)

Xaz- Tar! Get the the Trophaeum NOW!

(Dormii)
=as I pass Kota i look at him=
A friend has lost his love, without being able to say goodbye. A damn near civil war has broken out above us. And the UNSC may show up at any moment. Like I said, complicated.

=i keep going, heading to the pool room=

(Argo)

=The ship docked a few minutes later, and I decided to tell Jason=

Jason, we've docked with the Trophaeum.

(Gabby)

=I crossed my arms=

What kind of things got brought up?

(Miranda)

=I took in a deep breath=

Well, I knew that he used to be part of an old black ops team, and that he left because of what they made him do. What I did not know is that he was the one that lead a team into the compound where Adam was living.

=They arrive at the lake=
=The waterfall making its noise=
=Birds chirping=

The others will be next. Not here. This...is ours

=He looks at her face once more=
=He cuts down some trees and forms it into a coffin=
=He lifts her up gently. Kissing her=

I love you. I will always love you.

=He takes the ring from his pocket=
=He places it on her finger=

I never got to do it properly.

=He kisses her one last time. Laying her in the coffin=
=Tears begin streaming down his face again=

=He begins to dig the hole=

(let's say he killed who was in the mess hall, or the one he's at is safe...)


okay then...

=he runs to the hanger to get a transport before flying over=

(Gabby)

=I was shocked=

Wait, you mean that he's the one that....

(Miranda)

=I put both my hands up to calm her down=

Yes, and he's still guilty. The minute he found out what had happened, he opened fire on his team, and ran. He's been trying to expose his old employers ever since. And I've forgiven him Gabby, I really have.

(Dormii)
=i arrive in the pool room. steam is everywhere. i take off my armor and my gear and slip in=

(Tar, these people just wiped out an ARMY of people exactly like you. My advice, run)

=The pelican lands, and Delta steps out, ready to shoot Xazhi. He sees Draco and lowers his gun. he walks over=

Hey, Draco. I thought you were someone else...

Why so-

=He looks down and sees the body=

Gods...

=He removes his helmet=

(Jason)

Got it. thanks Argo.

=I waited a minute to be safe, the exited the ship through the airlock. I then made my way to the med-bay=

Just be sure that Miranda knows where I am, okay?

(Argo)

=I talked over his comm unit=

Sure thing Jason.

=He comms Dormii ignoring Everything and Everyone around him=

Dormii..I want you to alert everyone.
The people that passed during the last fight.
Their ceremonies will be held on the planet soon.

=He cuts the comm as he finishes digging=
=He slowly and carefully places the top on the coffin and lowers it into the hole=

=Tears still in his eyes=
=He fills the hole=

"I wanted you to know.
I love the way you laugh.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
Away.
I keep your photograph.
I know it serves me well.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
Cause I'm broken."

=He finishes the filling and goes to his knees=

Tar:

=lands in the tropheum=

what is it?



Talfie:

=i see dormii, but stay silent=

(Dormii)
=i see Talfie=
Hey, Taffy.

=i smile a bit and lean back, my arms and chest out of the water=
Gods...

(Gabby)

You forgave him? Miri, he killed your little brother. And you've been sleeping with him?

(Miranda)

=I felt steel and ice fill my voice=

I know him better than you think Gabby. I hated him at first, but then I found out how much pain he was in. He was hallucinating my dead brother, and he had the balls to tell me what was going on. He let me beat him, because he felt he deserved it. So again, I know exactly what kind of person he is: a flawed man, with a good heart, and a past that is filled with grief.

=Delta stands beside him and watches. He feels no emotion. He was not made to. He begins to humm softly a sad song=



=Xazhi goes over to meet Tar-Tun=

Xaz- Tar... I know this wont be easy on you.

=He walks back to the Pod, and stands, looking inside, where he he had layed Aura's body across several of the seats. The whole scene was a mess. The blood on the doors and walls, the bullet holes that filled the hull of the vessel, and the body within. He stands silent=

(Dormii)
=i sigh and keep looking at the ceiling=
So, how have you been, Talfie?




(gotta go for lunch, be back soon, i hope)

(Jason)

=I got to the med-bay, and asked for some help. A doctor came over to check on me, and I explained what was wrong=

It felt like my head was filled with razor blades. And I kept seeing things.

=The doctor thought it was a tumor, but when they put me in the machine, they got nothing. He had no idea what was wrong, but told me to check back if they ever happen again=

I'll make sure I do, thanks.

=I headed for the mess hall=

I loved you the moment I met you.
You showed me everything that I needed.

Life is funny...
One moment you are fighting for your life to find the one you love.
The next...You find your love has passed.

We will meet again.
I know we will.

=He shakes his head=

I know we will.

Ashlie Rebecca Cole.

My life
My love
My world
My angel

I love you with my heart and my soul

Requiescat en pace.

=Delta pushes a button on the side of his helmet. A song plays softly=

Tar:

=he chuckles=

hehehehe....

=he throws up=

whada ya know! i had to kill her to prove my love, guess someone loves her more! hehehe...

=he collapses=


Talfie:

h-h-hi, Dor...

=Xazhi kicks Tar-Tun in the stomach while he is down=

Moron. Thats not all i had to tell you.

=He looks off=
=Addressing Delta=

I would like to be alone with my love.
If that is so much to ask.
