Chapter 2: Judgement

Ship Captain: Delta 2-1 release Archer pod one

=A hail of mini missiles came from the first longsword and hit the ship once.=

Wipes tears away quickly but doesn't look Dormii in the face

It's nothing, honestly.

=alarm goes off=
"uhh sophia? what are those alarms supposed to mean?!"
"were being target by longswords"
"WHAT!"
"well tell them to go away!"
"I need to open up Comms with the other ship"
=the Doctor goes over an manually activates the Comms as well as SHIELDING systems=


"uh, roger that, uh, this is Solace, over"

(I wake up)

What the hell? I thought I was dead. Must not have been my time Lord

(I look around) Hello? anyone here. Hello?

(I look and notice I don't have my armor)

(annoyed)Can anyone tell me why I'm alive, where the heck I am, and where my armor is?!?!?

Comms Expert: This is UNSC Carrier "The Victory" Please identify yourself or we will destroy you.

=to Jay= Cmon, you can tell me. I've seen some horrible shit in my lifetime. You are one of the few things that are good, and I don't care what happens or what you say.

"This is an ONI vessel containing medical research as well as other scientific Data, 'The Victory' please Cease fire!"
"The Solace is not meant for combat!"

Stands up and walks back to the window

It's fine. Just leave it.

Comms Expert: Sir, they are an UNSC medical

Ship Captain: prepare to board

=My heart sank=

Comms Expert: but sir, it is just a medical ship!

Ship Captain: I don't care! PREPARE TO BOARD!

Me: Sir, you can't board that ship! You don't know what is on there!

Ship Captain: I said get to the Pelicans, Trooper.

=Having no choice, I carried light once more, but I got a SMG instead=
=Boarding the Pelican, I knew I wouldn't step foot on this ship again, I kissed the steel floor of the hangar=

=The Azure Comet watches from afar was two signifigantly smaller ships do battle, one appears to board the other=

uh sophia, what are they doing?

it appears they are going to board us, Nikolaus.

what! NO! F*** F***, uh, clean up th esurgeons room! clean the floors, make sure they don't see anything!

what about the crew?

uhhhhhhhhh

you haven't even thought about that have you?

Sophia, your smart remarks are not needed right now!

we'll make something up
...

=gets up and hugs her= Okay, look, I won't ask. But I will always be here for you, ok? No matter what it is. No, matter, what.

=kisses her head= So, what now?

[i]Keeps my eyes diverted away from Dormii's[i]

I don't know. Could things really get worse than before. We are all so spent. I think we just need recovery time.

=Locking on to the loading bay, I was the last to board.=
=The Pelican doors opened and we slowly opened the blast doors to the interior of the ship, I took a deep breath and stepped out of the pelican.=

=still holding her= I'd ask to spar, but I don't think I'm recovered from the last time. Plus, I don't want to hurt you. So, you know, that's out of the question.

=One by one we check corners and rooms. I walked into what seemed to be the medibay, I saw the same man on the icy planet.=

Me: ... you..

Suddenly spins my eyes to stare into Dormii's. I yell angrily.

Sparring! Sparring! You think of Sparring at a time like this? After everything we've been through, you just want to fight even more?

I've gone through hell for 7 months, not knowing who or where i am because i didn't have you around.

I killed my own father because he posed a threat to you!

And you stand here and talk about sparring!

Me: ... you..

(To Anog)(annoyed)Yes, its me. Your greenhorn, trigger happy squadmate cost me my life.

(Curious) Why are you here?

=I wake up on a what seems to be a bed, my insides feel like they are burning, I touch my knee cap, it seems to have healed. My last memory was killing that being and then darkness= Where am I and who healed. =I look around to find my weapons, they are not there. I look up to see what seems to be a door. I walk toward it and it opens without my touch. The other side has me more confused as long halls come into view. Where do I go from here. I head right trying to find my next path=

Me: =While keeping my gun pointed at him= We were ordered to board this ship... what are you doing here?

=stares back, apologetic= I meant it as a joke, I'm sorry. I don't know anything else other than fighting and you. Oh, and that Ash is a bitch, but that's not the point.

Look, you are the first person who has not tried to kill me. I don't know what to say is these situations.

=hard, quiet tone= and you think that I ever forgot about you? I carved your name into my armor, so you would always be there, with me. One of the first things that I did, after I left, was to carve tears into my helmet, because I thought I lost you. but I kept looking, I never gave up. Just to see you again, I went to 13 different planets, a medical ship, and a Covenant flagship. All, just so I could see you again, and to tell you I love you.

Oh, and to kiss you.

(Peeved)Torres killed ME, I was rescued apparently, and now I find I'm alive and defenceless.

(Pointed)So, that sum it up for you, Trooper?

(To himself)
Damn. I just stood there. Speechless. I couldnt say a word to her. Ive said all I could say. I just wouldnt stick. I........I just dont know. I know for a fact that I would protect her from him. Thats all I could have said but I did not. Damn.
(He walks off)
I hope she can forgive me.
forgive me, please.
(A tear falls from his face. It splashes on the ground)
(He punches the wall next to him. Leaving a dent)
My words hit and stick for a second.
(He walks off to the gym)

Turns back to stare out of the window

Bad time for jokes. I promised you we would meet again. I went through 7 months of near death experiences thinking i'd broken that promise to you. I don't know where i went, or who was near me. All i know is i've cut down a whole covenant armada in the hopes that you were on the other side.

I turn back to face Dormii

I don't know anything anymore. I couldn't tell you how i feel for you. I'm sorry, i just need time.

Kisses Dormii softly.

Or persuasion.

=I narrowed my eyes and was convinced that he was telling the truth=

Me: Alright, come with me.. We are going to meet your "rescuers"

[Delta] Exion! I want a full informations log on those two ships, as well as a Status report for each.

[Exion] Yes sir.
...
Two UNSC Battleships, Sir.

[Delta] Move into position. Ready all troops.

=Alarm sounds=
[Intercomm] ALL HANDS TO BATTLESTATIONS!

=The Comet moves closer to the two other ships, engulfing them both in its massive shadow=

=The ODST squad continues through the ship and ends up in a sort of gym, and there is another person standing there=

Me: Shit, DON'T MOVE!

(I whip anog in the base skull and he goes unconcious)

(Working my hand) Thats what years of training is like Trooper.

(I spot a bulkhead alarm and hit it)

(Alarm sounds and I take Anog's weapon) Now, lets get moving.

(I take anog as a hostage)

(To himself)
I'm just useless. Everytime I fight. I can't. No I am a soldier
I am a soldier. Trained by the UNSC. I am strong. Zayne is weak.
(He punches the nearest punching bag)
(He hears something behind him, but ignores it. The image of Ashlie leaving remained in his mind)

I'm sorry

=The rest of the ODST squad runs to my location=

Squadmate: great an injured Medic..

Squadmate: =Yelling loudly= Look! We don't want to hurt you! Come out of Hiding!

=kisses back= I could go for persuasion.

=hears alarm go off= Dammit.

=puts helmet on, her eyes aligned with the carvings= I truly wish this didn't just happen. Please don't be marines.

(To the troopers) No, no you don't. Cause if you do, your friend here is going home. In a body bag.

(I come out and they see me) That's right, be good little troopers and don't do anything stupid.

(I get away from the troopers)

=I traverse the halls, hiding only when others were near. I see words on some of these doors. Familliar words like bathroom or Rec hall, but one stood out..Armory. This one word seemed to familiar like where I would find what I was looking for. I walked in and there stood walls full of weapons that those I fought used..I didn't need those. Then I saw them, they seemed to be floating in what looked like blue light. I reached for them but something was blocking me from getting them. Frustrated I grabbed on of the weapons, pulled the trigger and shot the prison in which my tools were confined. It seemed to have worked since the blue that was surrounding them had vanished and my stuff dropped. I took them and left the armory. As I left I heard a loud noise, maybe an alarm. Did I set that off, I didn't care much to find out=

I grab Dormii's hand before he goes

Your not going. Your not leaving me again. Not tonight. And i don't want to take chances, knowing your past.

=Quickly recovering from my strike to the head, my squad is pulling me to the medibay and locking the door.=

Squadmate: Are you ok, you took a big hit to the head

Me: Yeah, I am fine, now what do we do?

(He punches the punching bag repeatedly, over and over again. Letting his anger out)

=Pulls out pistol=

Me: well, now we play the waiting game..

(he lands one last punch, and heads out to the medbay)
My armor is in there.

=to Jay= Trust me, I'm not going anywhere. =hugs her= I'm not going anywhere without you, ever again. =hands her his pistol, the name Jay is carved into the slide= However, that alarm is going off for a reason, and it is never good.

Don't be marines, don't be marines.

and I don't want to lose you either. =brushes some hairs away=

Squadmate: =Quietly= you guys hear those footsteps, keep your guns pointed at the door. It is there choice wheather it is friend or foe

I take the pistol and slot it back into Dormii's holster

No, the alarm going off isn't good. But you don't have to be the one to go deal with it.

(he opens the door and sees a squad pointing guns at him)
(smirks)
Is this a party or something

Me: I would rather it be, and we can get along..

@Anog
Just let me get my armor.

=jokingly= You think Draco or Ash can handle it?

=serious= I am not going to let anything happen. I pr....I swear it.

=hands her the pistol back= and you need this more than I.

Not marines, not marines. Please not marines.

=Lowers weapon and steps aside.=

Me: Well, it is your ship...

Pushes the pistol back

I said no Dormii. I don't want to chance it. What if it's UNSC out there? We can't take that risk.

(grins)
this piece of crap aint mine
(goes over and puts on his armor, except the helmet)
(he paused and looked into the helmet, the scar that ran across his face. Self-inflicted. His Red eyes, alive just like fire)
(He put on his helmet)
