Chapter 3-B: Redemption

=She looks at Draco's hand=
What can I say? Will I ever be truly safe with him? I love you Draco, I just don't know what to do.

=She looks up and smiles=

(The remaining fifteen minutes tick by in awkward silence)

*Arrival in one minute*

(He takes Andrea out of the console and puts the chip in his pocket)

=Ash stands up and grabs her magnum=
I don't know if this is a good idea...

=She looks over at Draco=
You ready?

(He grabs the Hydra and attaches the Angel Maker and Handcannon)
@Ash
When you are

=The pelican lands on a old road covered in dust, the Pelican doors open and Ash steps out. She looks around and what was once dense Jungle=
There's nothing left...

=She turns around to see Pirth lying in the distance its old skyline now litter the streets, old military tents line the road.=

(He steps out)
(He places a hand on her shoulder)
@Ash
Im sorry

=She looks back at Draco=
I don't know what I expected to find...

=She looks towards the city=

(He unlimbers the Angel Maker)
(He zooms in on the city, on a street a person is standing)

@Ash
We are not alone I see

(He hands her the rifle so she can see)

=She takes the rifle and looks down the scope=
What the...? no one could live on here on their own? I can't tell if their walking away or towards us...

=She hands the rifle back to Draco=
We should be careful

(He takes the rifle and starts walking towards the person)
@Ash
Let's check it out
It'll be fun

=She pulls Draco back=
We have to be careful... We don't know who this person could be.

The gas cleared and we moved up. "Door, of course." The Sergeant took out a Demo Charge, and placed it on the door. "Move back." I ran back to the sandbag. "Three, two, one." The explosion rocked the area. "GO." I looked through the door, seeing an MG emplacement.

"MG nest, inside, second floor." I pulled the Jack-Hammer of my back, looked inside and up, and fired. It hit the MG and launched the men around it back. We ran inside and secured the building.

@Ash
Okay, okay we will be careful

(They begin to go towards the person taking advantage of any cover)

=Ash stays behind Draco copying he's movements=
I don't like this... Feels like a trap..

(They get closer and closer)
(Silent)
(He unlimbers his Angel Maker and zooms down the sights at the person)

Oh my god

=Ash watches Draco's reaction=
Who is it? Are they o'k?

(He hands her the rifle)
(Shocked and awestruck)
@Ash
Look

=She looks down the rifle scope=
No... How?

=She looks back at Draco=
Its Macgraw...

@Ash
What do you propose we do

(He grabs his Hydra)

Could be a trap

=She puts her hand over his gun=
We can't just shoot him!

I looked out the window, seeing the AA gun and the building it was connected to. "Where is Alpha and Charlie?" I asked

"I don't know, I'll get on the radio."

"This is Bravo to Locklear, over."
"Read you loud and clear Bravo, what's up, over?"
"How close are Alpha and Charlie, we are in position to take out AA, over?"
"They have might fierce resistance, it will take awhile to get through, I suggest attacking now, over."
"Attacking now sir?"
"Yes, over and out."

"You heard the man, stack up on the windows and get ready to ambush."

(He looks at Ash)
(He lowers his gun)
@Ash
Okay, your call

I got up to the window, and loaded my DMR. I looked over seeing a large amount of soldiers. A Warthog drove by. "Collins, give me that rocket." Whispered my Sergeant, I handed it to him. "3, 2.....,1......, LIT EM' UP!"

=ONI to Latentwolf=

Latentwolf, our base is under assault, requesting immediate assistance.

=Latentwolf to ONI=

Are you sure that's wise?'

=Oni to Latentwolf=

You don't exist for a reason Latentwolf, we want you to fly over and spot out the rebels, call in there position to our personnel, anything to support our men.

=Latentwolf to ONI=

Roger that, ETA T-minus two minutes

=Latentwolf leaves his ship in a Modified Seraph and speeds down toward the base=

The Rocket went trough the air, hitting the Hog. I stood up and fired my Rifle, trying to pick off targets. "Grenades, NOW." I grabbed the grenade from my pouch and threw it over, so did the rest of the men. We heard the screams of men.

=Ash looks at draco and holds his hand=
I know what he did to you... But we can't just kill an unarmed man...

=She looks back at Macgraw=
I can never understand, but its up to you...

(He holsters the Hydra)
@Ash
For whatever reason he is here.
It cannot be a good one.

(He walks towards Macgraw)
(He stops unlimbers his rifle again)
(He zooms in)
(Two UNSC Marines come up to him)
(They begin to argue)
(Macgraw pulls out a pistol and fires at them)
(They fall)
(He walks off)

Well then

=Ash follows Draco=
We have to be careful... What the hell is the unsc doing here?

=Macgraw looks back at the bodies=
Macgraw: Better get of this burned rock nothing but the smell of death in places like this

=He walks to words the old military tents in the distance=

=Ash pulls Draco back, she whispers=
We can't just walk down there, not with the unsc around.

@Ash
We need to be quiet.
Use the cover presented.
Spy on him.
See what he and the UNSC are up to.

(He grabs her hand and kisses her)

It'll be okay

We don't have any armour if we get shot out here were done for...

=Macgraw reaches a tent a heads inside=
I don't like this... What are the chances?

@Ash
0 to 1 that he is here and alive

Like I said before. Your call
You know the area better than I do.
But it looks like its just him

=the Seraph flies over the ONI base, Latentwolf receives a visual confirmation of the Rebels attacking the base=

=after flying over, he turns around and flies toward where they are taking cover and fires its heavy plasma cannon=

@Ash
Alright
take advantage of the cover

(They go towards the tents taking any cover they could find)
(They stop just short of Macgraw's tent)
(They hear him talking)

Macgraw-So you've found them. Good. Send everyone to that abandoned resort. I want them captured. Oh and bring my daughter to me personallly.

=Ash whispers=
They must of found the others... We have to warn them, tell them to leave wherever they are...

=She looks back at Draco=
Still doesn't explain why they unsc are here... They must be looking for somthing..? Covenant maybe?

"PLASMA!" The shot hit the side of the building. "Covenant?"

"Don't know, don't care, run across the street." I looked up, seeing nothing. I ran inside the building. "This is Bravo to Locklear."
"Copy you Bravo."
"We got a cloaked air vehicle, can you run a thermal sweep. Over?"
"Thermal sweep commencing."

-1minute later-

"Sweep has found a cloaked Seraph, armed to the teeth, and it is O.N.I controlled."
"Underst-"
"You are being re-tasked, I want you to take OVER the AA gun, I don't want it destroyed. How copy?"
"We copy Sir, over and out."

"Alright you heard the commander, take the AA over. Move through the building and find the main controls. MOVE!"

(He looks at her)
@Ash
Doubt it
Once they leave they are gone
Must be something else

(They hear Macgraw)
Macgraw-Oh and one more thing, my squads found something. Doesn't look covenant.
...
Well How the Hell Am I Supposed to Know What it is.
Jesus
Just get your scientists over here and analyze this thing!

=Ash loads her gun=
What do you want to do...?

@Ash
I want to kill him.
However he just called in for more soldiers and scientists
When they come we take out two of them?
Hop aboard his transport?

"Alright you heard the commander, take the AA over. Move through the building and find the main controls. MOVE!"

We started inside the building, seeing some barracks and such, most empty. We came up to a door. "Stack up." One man got up at each side. I stood in front of the door. "Breach." I walked up to the door and kicked it down.

The door went down, and I peered inside. No one. I walked inside and up to a control terminal. "Anyone a hacker?"

=Ash looks shock at what Draco just said=
I don't want to ''take'' out anyone... I didn't know this was going to happen, we need to get out of her its to dangerous!

=There's a large bang from inside the tent=

(He looks to the tent)
@Ash
That did not sound to good

(He looks back to her)
If you want to go. We'll go. We don't need to stay here.
But he is sending basicly the entire UNSC to thier location.

=She sighs=
Your right, we should check it out... but we can't hide her when they come.

=She kiss Draco=
But if anything happens we will get out of there as soon as possible ok?

(He kisses back)
@Ash
Have I broken a promise to you

(He smiles and kisses her hand)
Lets go

(Three Pelicans begin to roar in)
(They begin to kick up dust)
(Soldiers begin to pour out of them)
(They see Macgraw hand a scientist an object)
(Sort of like a key)

@Ash
You ready

=She nods nervously=
Better now than never... you take lead I'm right behind you

(In the dust the two see a couple of marines)
(They use the marines knives to kill them)
(They drag them off and begin swapping clothes)

@Ash
We should hurry

=She changes quickly=
I feel like this is going to end badly....

=She puts on the helmet and covers her face=
How do I look?

(He smiles)
@Ash
Beautiful as always

(Ash grabs an Assault rifle, while Draco gets his weapons back on. They head to the Transport Pelican Macgraw is on)

Macgraw: Where the hell have you been get on the ship! I'm not waiting all day.

=She nods and climbs on board=
One of these guys are going to notice....

(Careful not to say anything)
(He nods and sits next to Ash)
(He whispers)
@Ash
Don't worry, these guys arent going to notice.
I hope
