Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 9

=I turn the corner and slide down the wall, catching my breath=

Kota?

=he turns back=

(Aryom)

Fuck it...

=He begins to make his way back to the Hanger, for sleep.=

I don't know, there was too many. Blood, fighting, Dormii

=He nods=

Interesting.

=He looks off=

Sometimes.
Visions mean nothing.
Others, they mean something.

=He shrugs=

It is a strange thing.

=I begin to shuffle through the halls, still catching my breath=

=He arrives at the Entrance to the Hanger.=

Just forget about killing... Easy...

='Revar turns back at the other Elites before boarding his balck and red phantom=

Zan- I cannot help but wonder. What convinced these two meat-shields to hand over our shielding modules?

(Thevo)

=He looks at them=

They simply presented them to us.
Telling of their location.

My Warriors took them.

(Dormii)
=i walk to my room and put my armor on. i comm Draco=
Hey, got any ideas as to what I can do right now? We aren't at a spot where I can train my recruits now are we?

=The Heracs watch as new potential food source enters the hanger. They stay silent=



Zan- Very Well. In that case i shall be sure to strap this one to the inside of the Glassing Beam the very next time it fires.

=He enters the Hanger, looking at the Ground. He begins to make his way over to his Pelican.=

=I see Draco and the new girl in the hallway=

=I watch, holding my pained side=

=He hears a beeping coming from the helmet=
=He looks at her=

My apologies, I must take this

=He puts on the helmet, replaying the message=
=He shakes his head=

As of now, I have nothing.

(Thevo)

It seems like a fitting death for cannon fodder like him

(Dormii)
=i sigh=
Great...thanks anyway. I'll be in the training room if I'm needed.

=i start heading there now=

=He nods=
=Taking off the helmet and attaching it again=
=He looks down the hallway=

Hmm.

=He turns back to the Phantom=

Zan- Unless... The punishment of the supirior officer who failed to ensure that these incompitents completed their mission is in order?

=He turns his head back to them=

Zan- What do you think?


=The two Heracs drop down and slowly follow the Spartan=

=He carries on heading towards his Pelican, focused on trying to forget the urge to kill something.=

Nearly there...

=The two heracs make the same chirping noise, then a screech before rushing the Spartan=

(Thevo)

Your mistake.
Your head.
Thinking of the worse possible thing.
A stripping of your rank.
Possible death.

=He turns around to see two oversized spiders rushing him.=

SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!

Wait... In all the films... When they stand still they survive...

=He stands still.=

I look at Draco

What do they mean?

='Revar chuckles=

Zan- I agree completely. Which is why...

=He heads over to the ship the grunts came in on. He finds a sleeping elite in gold armor in the side bunk room. He wakes the elite up, and brings him out before the others, to where he was standing before=

Zan- He will share the punishment.

='Revar draws his energy blade again, and before the gold-armored elite had a chance to figure out what was going on, removes his head. His body collapses to the floor next to the headless grunt. He re-holsters his sword=

Zan- A fitting punishment for incompitent leadership, wouldnt you say?




=The first of the Heracs tackles the Spartan to the ground and reveals its huge fangs=

FUCK FUCK!

Think...!

I LOVE SPIDERS MAN! LOVE THEM! I GIVE THEM HUGS! SO WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KILL A SPIDER LOVER MAN?!

(Thevo)

=Not phazed by his attempts at fear=

Of course.

(Dante)

=He looks at her=

Perhaps.
They are showing you a past life.

=He looks at her scar=

A life of...joy, bloodshed, sorrow.

=He smiles=

That is my take on it.

(Dormii)
=i walk into the training room. i turn on a virtual simulation of CQC combat and start bashing away at the foes=
What would Jay think...if she was here...

Where are you...

I doubt it.

I give him a harsh look

='Revar sees that the Elite is uneffected by the killings=

Zan- Unphazed by the deaths of your own kind at the hands of another? I like that. Perhaps we will meet again... 'Brother'.

=He boards the Phantom, and they take off=

(Thevo)

Sha'rak-My Lord!

Hek'ran-How could you let that happen!

=He raises his hand=

Thevo-Silence.

=He addresses everyone else=

Back to your stations.

=He heads off=

(Dante)

=He looks at her again=

I am sorry if I offended.

Shit...

Fuck...

Shit...

=He tries to get away.=

Fucking hell...

=The Herac brings its massive fangs down on the Spartan=

I stand up

I don't know what to do

=He stands up=

Well.
Visions pass over time.
Sometimes they stay until something triggers them to stop.

=He shrugs=

It has happened with me before.

No, I mean I don't know what to do, I'm bored

Ah.

=He laughs slightly=

Well. Im going off to the training room
There is always fun to be had there.

=I walk down the hall toward the two=

I shall join you then

I follow him as he begins to walk off

(Dormii)
=i continue my training. I kick both feet into the chin of one target, then grab him with my hand and slam him to the ground. He fades and I drop, ducking under a blade. I rise and jab my foot directly into his shoulder socket, breaking the bone there. i spin and hook his neck with my foot. i throw him into the ground and stab my wrist blade into his head. He fades and I turn to the next target=

=They walk off=
=He pops his neck=

Ah..
Besides the visions making you trip.
How are you.

=the Duo had watched the Spartan III, Headhunter, walk away without answering the question, after which they continued to explore and map the ship.=

=The two Heracs drag the body of the Spartan back up the wall, to the corner of the wall and ceiling, to their web-hive=

Hungry

(Dormii)
=i grab one of the targets with my arm, wrapping it around his, and sweep his legs. His weight causes his arm to dislocate. i slam a boot into his head and he fades. i turn to the next target=

=He smiles=

Foods good.

=They enter the training room=
=Seeing Dormii fighting some holograms=
=He nods to him=

=He puts on his helmet=

Andrea, Create holograms for Close Quarters Combat.

*How many do you want*

Give me four.
Increase the numbers by two each time

=She nods=
=Holograms appearing=
=He activates the blade=

*When you are ready*

Begin

(Dormii)
=i see Draco and Shelby through the VR=


(does shelby have her helmet on?)

Hey Dormii

(No she doesn't)

=One rushes him=
=He stabs him in the gut, making a clean slice out=
=Nearing another, slicing its neck=
=The two fade off=

=He looks at the other two=

(Dormii)
=i see Jay's face and I stumble. A target comes and stabs me, ending the VR. i get up and look at Shelby=
Jay?

No Dormii, its me, Shelby
