Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 5

=I rabbit hop and continue sprinting down the hall=

=He nods=

Alright.

=He takes the Hydra again and continues the sprint=

=Syaa gets up, unsteadily, and stumbles into the hall while supporting herself on the wall, trying to catch her breath as well. She hears explosions and gunfire nearby=

S- Oh that cant be good...

We come to the next crossroads and i see in the distance some of team A fighting with loyalists.

Draco, go help them. We've got this.

I nudge the guard and we continue onwards towards the bridge

=I follow the woman, watching her back=

well zeru... what now? what's your plan now?

=Syaa stumbles back onto the bridge, slowly regaining her strength. She helps Zeru up, who is still breathing heavily=

Z- I..... I dont know.........

*Bridge Officer*
Sir, what are we doing?

(Jason)
Waiting. Prepare to open a comm channel. I need to know if Zeru got those bugs under control.

*Bridge Officer*
And if he didn't?

(Jason)
Then may god forgive me for what I'll be forced to do.

=He nods and runs towards team A. Once in range he fires the Hydra into the enemies=
=He activates the blade and goes into CQC with them=

Numerous Spiders are swarming towards the bridge past us. I stop and look for a moment.

I've got an idea.

well... that's a shame... surprised syaa survived that shock... you alright there honey?

=I stop and turn around=

Yuck..

=I keep my gun ready=

What you thinking?

=He shoves the blade into one=
=He lets out a scream of pain as the blade cuts upward=

=Blood spewing out=

=He tosses the corpse and begins to slice the others=

=The stampede of Herac advance rapidly towards the bridge, running along the floors, ceiling, and walls at twice the rate as the humans=

=Syaa snaps at the Comment=

S- Shut up, you damned AI!

Catch-a-Ride.

I leap onto the spider swarm and am taken with them

awww what's wrong? didn't enjoy your treat *cackle*

DO WHAT!?

=I shrug and grab the leg of one, getting dragged on the floor=

I'd.. like... running more...

=He finishes up with the hostiles, Team A runs out forward=
=He backtracks to the crossway and takes the way to the bridge=

=He goes into a sprint=

Zayne: Whoo! Yeah! This is what I'm talking about!

(Jason)
Okay, hail the Trophaeum. I want to know what the hell is going on.

*Comm Officer*
=they were about to hail the Troph, when a message came through=
Sir, we have a message. It's from Jeremy. He's on the enemy Capital ship!

(Jason)
Crap. What do I do? Help my friend, or destroy a possibly infested ship?

You can run then, if you want to get there tomorrow.

I grin at him as i sit comfortably on one of the spiders backs.

I don't-

=My head slams against the ground=

...I.. what..?

=The Spiders make the sound of a thousand stampeding buffalo as they storm down the halls and up to the hallway leading to the Bridge. They begin making the deep bellowing noises again=

A huge explosion rocks the ship and i'm sent flying off of the spider...

Owwww...

I pick myself and the guard up and hit my comm

I SAID NOT THE ENGINES!!!!!!

=He continues his run=
=Occaisonally being knocked to the side from an explosion=

=The giant one knocked him to the other wall=

Zayne: Man, you're getting thrown around.

Shut it!

*Bridge*
Sir, scans are coming in now. the ship has sustained severe damage, and it seems to be venting atmosphere.

(Jason)
Okay, that's it. Have the rest of the fleet move in around the Troph. Cordon it off. I don't want anything leaving. The rest of you, we're heading for that UNSC fleet.

=I grab my head=

Second time today...

=I begin to lightly jog again=

Sun: so now that i'm at the top of the pyramid of screaming (also known as the who's in charge food chain) what shall i do?

Well this isn't going to plan that much....

I run after the guard.

Come on, it isn't far now.

=the rest of Haven's fleet moved towards the Trophaeum, surrounding it. As for the Silver Hawk and its' frigate group, they moved closer to the UNSC fleet=

(Jason)
I want boarding parties prepped and ready to board that ship. Have the frigates deal with the other ships. Focus weapons on the engines, disable her if you can.

=He recovers slightly dazed from the hit=

=He shakes his head and continues the run=

Almost.

=The marker grows smaller=

I comm Team C

Any incoming communications, re-direct them to me. Got it? I think we're making too much noise here.

=I reach the Bridge door and hug the wall=

When you're ready, miss.

You still have explosives on you right? or did i forget to tell you to bring them?

(Jason)
=I headed down for the hangar, my armor already on. I made a quick stop in the armory for some weapons, and met the boarding party in the hangar outside their vessel. It was Blue Team. Not, the Spartan-II Blue Team that ONI enjoyed using so much. This was my own team. They survived the Flood, as well as proved top of their class. I got on the boarding craft with them=

=I pull out a hand grenade=

I have a Grenade... and some duct tape..

Yeah. Old Fashioned way it is then.

I stand in front of the door with him and we both kick hard at the door.

=I rush in checking the left then the right=

Go ahead, miss.

=I keep my gun on two people=

=He had picked up speed=
=He could now see Shelby and the guard kicking at the door to the bridge=

=He begins to slow down=
=Trying to not completely ram them=

Well hello. Sorry to *burst* in like that.

I laugh a little, amused by my own joke. I walk into the room just as Draco comes up behind me.

=Syaa turns around to face them. She charges at them with her fists, just fast enough so that Zeru cant catch her arm. She runs forward screaming=

(Jeremy)

=I moved through the ship, im waiting for the hoard of guards to come pouring through. But they never came=

This doesn't look right...

=I messaged Jason again=

Jason, do what you have to do, im going into the armory.

(Jason)
=the boarding craft jettisoned from the Silver Hawk, and sped towards the lead UNSC ship, the momentum from the ejection propelling us forward. Seconds later, the small engines came on, and we guided ourselves into the hangar bay of the ship. We unstrapped, and the door blew itself open, and we came out=

=She coughs and staggers at the blow. She throws another fist for her face=

=He comes to a halt as he walks behind Shelby=
=He activates the blade=

=Running past Shelby and the guard and passing Sayaa to get to Zeru=

It's time for a change

=I point my gun at Zeru, seeing that the woman has Syaa under control=

=Zeru tries to look away from Draco=

Z- What are you going to do...?

(Jason)
=I received Jeremy's message=
Understood. We're now aboard the ship. My team and I will make our way to the bridge.

=No sooner had a I said that, then a squad of Marines ran into the hangar, guns blazing=

=Syaa lets out a great cry of pain as her arm is broken violently. Three of the Herac enter the room by crawling on the ceiling=
