Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens"

(Dormii)
Looks to me like the UNSC is here! As for those robots, I have no clue, but they seem to be helping, don't they?

=i turn and fire again, all while running forward. i get close and eviscerate a Marine with my arm blade. i tun and cut the neck of another open. i emit a Scream and keep going=

=Lori and Xazhi run after Dormii=

Kid- To be honest i have no idea if they're helping! I just see fucking blood everywhere!!!

(Silver Light)
=While I was not in direct control of the sentinels, I could see what they saw. A thousand images flashed in my mind. A thousand faces burned before me. Then, I saw a familiar figure. I took control of that one sentinel, and guided it down towards the one called "Dormii"=

Greetings Dormii.

=The kid nearly falls over=

Kid- GAH! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING, DORMII!?

(Dormii
=i heard a familiar voice come from one of the machines=
Hi Silver. Xaz, this is Silver Light, or at least a speaker for him.

=i watch another machine burn part of a Marine away and then float off. i climb up a small shack and keep shooting, reloading every once in a while=

(Silver Light)
Please, do not be alarmed. I am here to help, on the orders of the Inheritor.

=A young XNNO woman is running past the kid when she quite literally loses her head to a gunshot=

Kid- Fucking Gods!!! How do we get out of here!?

(Dormii)
=i put my rifle away and hop down. i grab a rifle off of a corpse and keep shooting, killing every target i see, all while steadily moving forward=
Kill them all. YOU HEAR MY YOU UNSC BASTARDS?! YOU! WILL! DIE!

(Dylon)
=the ship starts taking more damage, but it stays strong. it kills more UNSC ships=

(Silver Light)
=I knew that the Inheritor would not want his friend to die, so I directed a group of sentinels to defend Dormii and the people he was with. The rest continued to fire on the UNSC soldiers=

=The UNSC soldiers take Delta aboard a pelican back to the main ship of the UNSC fleet. He is taken to the bridge to see the captain, but there are two figures in the room. He cant really see either of them=

Capt- So. You are the one called X No Delta... Ive spent a long time chasing you.

Fig1- As have I.

=Delta recognizes one of the voices=

Del- ...No.... You better not be.... who i think you are.....

(Dormii)
=i drop the rifle and toss one to Lori and the kid=
Gonna help or what?

=i pick up another and keep shooting=

(Silver Light)
Inheritor, good news. I have located your friend, Dormii. He is aboard the station.

(Jason)
What? What the hell is he doing there?

=Xazhi takes the rifle, and fires into the crowd of Soldiers. It seems to have no effect. They just keep coming, as if there is an infinite amount of them=

Kid- They just keep coming!


=The figure next to the captian steps into the dim light=

Fig1- Yes, Delta... It's me.

=Delta nearly explodes with anger and sadness=

Del- WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU DO IT!?

=does a jump into the unsc's fleet at fires the haddren into it=

(Silver Light)
I'm afraid I do not know. I do however have a group of sentinels watching over him.

=The sentinels in question, fired on another group of UNSC soldiers. They turned to ash=

(Dormii)
'Tis war. Xaz. 'Tis war.

=i run full tilt at the next squad. i get in close and start hacking and slashing=

=The kid keeps firing=

Kid- Hey, Dormii! This is just like-

=A bullet tears through his upper left leg. He drops to the ground=

Kid- AAAGH, GODS!!!

=The sentinels kept firing, some even splitting off to fire at incoming UNSC troops. Three of them fire on the trooper that shot the kid=

(Silver Light)
=I took over the sentinel nearest Dormii=

Dormii, if you would like, i could guide you and your group safely to a way off this station.

(Dormii)
Lori! Get the kid! We're leaving!

=i stab the next trooper, one blade goes through his eye, one through his heart, and one through his stomach. he dies instantly=Silver, do so, only if you do the same for everyone else here.

=The figure chuckles at Delta's outburst=

Del- Why....?

Fig1- Because a species that cannot defend itself from eradication does not deserve to exist!


=Lori helps Xazhi up, and they follow Dormii=

(Silver Light)
I may be able to evacuate some, but there simply is not enough room on the ships. They were designed for war, not transport.

=At the same time=

Inheritor, we need to get closer to the station. I will guide Dormii and his friends to an exit, but we have to meet him there.

(Jason)
Got it. Argo, follow Silver's instructions. Take us closer to the station.

(Dormii)
=to Silver=
As long as you do it.

=i call out=
C'MON! MOVE! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!

=i fire again and again=

=A hundred more ships jump in, and begin firing on the UNSC. They are clearly not XNNO, Covenant, or UNSC in origin. Another ship about half the size of the Trophaeum does the same. As do a squad of about 50 small craft about the size of the Eirav Wing. Xazhi and Lori follow after Dormii quickly=

(Silver Light)
Very well, but I can't promise much.
=I moved the ships closer, and had groups of sentinels herd the residents towards the gravity lifts already forming=

(Argo)
=I guided the ship into the stations hangar, and we waited=

(Dormii)
Silver, let my use the speakers on the machine for a moment, please.

(Silver Light)
What do you intend to do?
=I granted him access anyway=

(Dormii)
Motivation.

=through the speakers=
This is Dormii Fortuni. To all UNSC bastards who hear this, you will die. your only chance at living is running. Run, drop your weapons, and run. To the people of the Obsidian Wolf, follow these machines. They will guide you to safety. Deus ducente non dividendae.

=Open comms explode with chatter from all the ships=

Ships-

-128th Ekilis Talon reporting. Welcome back, Commander!

--We've got your Six, Jack!

---Warriors of Srevaera hailing in to stop the Genocide. I guess that would be the UNSC then?

--Looks like it!

-We got a comm from the commander about 3 days ago requesting assistance against a Genocide fleet at his co-ord. Gues this is it!

--Alright, lets move in!

---We've got you covered!

=The ships begin to scatter into the UNSC fleet and a firefight of the ages breaks out among the stars=

(Silver Light)
=the civilians of the station began to board the ships, but there wasn't enough room. By my estimates, only 10-15% of the population was saved. The rest, I could not take aboard. I had the ships end the gravity lifts, in reverse, sending anyone already in the beam safely back down=

Del- HOW IS THIS A VICTORY FOR YOU!? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE!?!?

Fig1- Calm yourself, Delta. And please, call me John.

Del- YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!

=the troph fires several beams which conenct on the allied ships shields and bounced of creating a net that slices scores of usnc ships to ribbons=

(Dormii)
=we made it to Jason's ship=
Lori, Xaz, get on board. You're safe now. Jason! Wounded kid here!

=i got a comm from Draco saying he was on on of the Forerunner ships. i sent a reply saying i understood=

(Jason)
Got it Dormii. Miranda, get down there, and help them.

(Miranda)
What are you going to do?
=I was already out of my chair, and in the elevator=

(Jason)
I'm going to continue organizing this cluster fuck.

=More comms from the ships=

--What the hell!?

---No idea! Is it a weapon!?

-The UNSC Ships just got sliced to Scrap!

--Are we being engaged!?

---Must be!

-From who!? Covenant!?

---Its that ship there!



=The kid struggles to walk aboard the ship=

Kid- We have to go find Delta!

(Miranda)
=I went down to help Dormii and the new people=

Okay, what's the situation?
=i saw that the kid was bleeding=

(Dylon)
=i watch the lasers, almost gutting my ship in half=
Hey! Watch it! Oh yea, no comms...reengage comms and have our remaining forces pull back. We need to start licking our wounds. Continue the MAC support and arch support.

'Aye, sir.'


(Dormii)
We'll find him, don't worry.

=One of the Srevaeran ships explodes from energy weapons crossfire=

-Jesus!

---We're Hit, too!

--Just missed us!

---Its alright! We're fine!

-Where is the Commander!?

--Jack! You out there!? Respond!

(Dormii)
=i helped the kid onto the ship, firing the rifle one handed behind me=
Let's go. Let's go.

(Silver Light)
=At this point, the UNSC ships were either drifting, crippled, or destroyed. I had the ships carrying civilians move back, while continue to fire. The sentinels, I had continue defend civilians=

(Dormii)
Let's go! What's taking so long?

(Miranda)
=I opened the doors, and let Dormii and his people inside=

Come on, we have to get him to the med bay!

(Dormii)
=we get in. i pick the kid up and carry him to the medbay, Lori following. the panels and my arm twitch back and forth=

(Miranda)
=We got to the med bay, and I had the kid laid out on the table=
Uh, anyone have any medical experience?

(Silver Light)
=I had the ships move back to the edge of the battle. I was to safeguard these civilians=

(Dormii)
Does getting your arm amputated count?

(Miranda)
=I just gave Dormii an exhausted look=
Really? Jokes? A massive battle is going on, a kid is bleeding on the med table, and you're making jokes?

(Jason)
Silver, what's the status of those ships?

(Silver Light)
The ships have pulled back, and are now at the edge of the battle.

(Dormii)
Would you rather I just say no and further lower the mood of the room thus causing you to feel stressed and possibly make a mistake in giving me instructions?

(Miranda)
Oh for Pete's sake. Argo, can you take control of the robotics section?

(Argo)
Yes.
=I dropped the robotic arms down, and began working on the kids wounds=

This may take a while.

(Dormii)
=i shake my head=
I would've preferred to do it myself.

=i finally notice a hole in the lower right hand section of my helmet=
When the hell did I get shot?

(Miranda)
Dormii, are you alright?

(Jason)
=I watched as a battle the likes of which I had never seen unfolded before my eyes=
