Chapter 3-B: Redemption

(He stops walking)
(He looks over at Jacobs)
Wait, Ash is here?

(As Jacobs)

Crap.

=Jacobs looks at the paper Torres sent him. I reads clearly on the bottom "Do not tell Draco Ashlie is here." He then looks at Draco=

Oh did I say Ashlie Cole I meant to say Ashari Cail. he..he. Uh this way!

=Jacobs continues down the passage with quicker movements=

(He looks questioningly at Jacobs and begins to follow him)
(stepping up his movements)

(As Jacobs)

=continuing till they reach a drop off, jacobs looks around=

It should be over here. Oh here it is

=Jacobs presses a button on the wall. As he does a anti-grav lift comes up=

Ok time to get on.

=While on the transperter=

So how do you know Torres.

(He looks at Jacobs)
@Jacobs
Met him while escaping the UNSC, on some planet.
Why

(as Jacobs)

He doesn't speak much about his past. And as far as I have know his, he has never given anyone this show of kindness. It always what ONI makes him do. This is the first I've seen him defy them.

Where are we headed

We are almost here.

=They stop in front of steel double doors=

We are here haha. Uh I've never been here before so I am just following directions.

=They open the doors and walk in. They enter a room that looks similar to a ships bridge, and in the middle is a table with a hologram projector. They start to venture around the room. Then a very familiar voice speak=

'Welcome Draco and Jacobs will you please sit down'

(He takes a seat next to Jacobs)
The heck is this, Tiberus?

=X No Delta and the other XNNOs board the CR-25s and head back up to the Azure Comet=

=Delta takes his seat in the bridge=

[Delta] Exion, mission success. Take us back to the Obsidain Wolf. She's in real bad shape.

[Exion] Yes, sir.

=The ship jumps back the the Obsidian Wolf, where Delta, Giga, and Alpha head to the military base there=

(As Tiberus)

Yes Draco it us me. Torres wanted me to keep you here, away from ONI's eyes. From in here you can monitor the battle that happening on ground level.


(As Jacobs)

No way, Torres's AI. But I thought they deleted you.


They did but only a copy of me. Thanks to Ms. Cole I was kept safe.


(As Torres)

*Soldier* 'Sir we have received reports of rebels entering the eastern entrance. ONI wants you to stop them'

Will do.

=Torres grabs his weapons and heads in that direction=

@Tiberus
I see
Tiberus
Is Ashlie Cole here

Fine
(He stays where he is)
(To himself)
I have to find her
I have to know that she is okay

(coughs) If you look to the screen on your right you can see the medical facitliy at ONI you can see that we are well prepared for any emergency
=On the screen it shows Dr. Maria with Ashlie=

(He looks at the screen)
(At Ashlie)
(His heart skips a beat)
Alright
I'll stay here

=Delta, Giga, and Alpha enter a room with no windows, a desk, and a few comfortable-looking chairs. Theta is already in the room. They each sit down=

=They begin speaking with Alpha. They try to get her to explain what happened during her stay with ONI. She does not respond=

[Theta] Alpha, we need to know. What did they do to you?

[Alpha] =Begins singing lightly, her voice is rhaspy and vocaliod= Kann man Herzen brechen? Können Herzen sprechen? Kann man Herzen quälen? Kann man Herzen stehlen?

[Giga] C'mon. We need to know. How did you even get captured to begin with?

[Aplha] =still singing= Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck Doch seh ich dann nach unten weg Da schlägt es links.

[Delta] =He leans close to Alpha= You issued Notanemil. Do you wish to stop it?

[Alpha] =snaps up and looks at Delta, surprised at his sugestion, with fury and hatred in her eyes= We must continue. We must Destroy...

[Delta] Earth.

=Alpha grins slightly, and continues singing=
[Alpha] Können Herzen singen? Kann ein Herz zerspringen? Können Herzen rein sein? Kann ein Herz aus Stein sein?

[Delta] =@Theta and Giga= Well, you heard. Send a message to Inflammen and Sisvetchukam. We leave in 6 days.

"Jonsey, Kyle, four targets, left." They looked over and fired their clips, killing them. I jumped behind a sandbag.

"Stevens, what are we dealing with?"
"O.N.I Spec Ops, some are well trained vets. Some are just well trained."

I Warthog comes by, it's 50. Cal spinning up. "Stevens!" A rocket flies through the air and hits the target.

"Dan, Rob, suppress my target." I pointed at a squad of Spec ops. "I'll flank around, just cover me. Flanking right."

(He looks on the screen, It switches back to the battle)
(He sees one rebel)
Matt!
(He notices one rebel go down right after another)

(Switching off of Draco and taking control of Jon (a member of Draco's former team))

(smiles)
(he is positioned in the forest)

Gotta love this
(He fires his silenced pistol through the brush and a rebel goes down)

"KYLE'S DOWN KYLE'S DOWN!"

I turn around, one of my men bleeding. "Shit." I run back and look at the wound. "This is from a SO-." I look left at the treeline. I look around for any cover. I see a three story building. "Breach and Clear that building right now." I drag Kyle to the door, and kick open the door.

I Drag him inside. The rest of the men run in through separate doors. "What do we do sir?"
"Get to the second floor, and stay away from the windows."

(Now switching to Matthew (another former member))

(He is in the building)
(He sees the group enter)
(Laughs)

Hey whats up

(The large man carries a Machine Gun Turret)

Bring it rebels

"AH F*** ME!"

(Annoyed)"Back down stairs peo-, actually. STEVENS FIRE!" The Rocket goes through the room and hits the guy on the other side. "Lit em' up!" 5 Rifles echo through the room. "Hold it." I run up and look at the mangled mess. "Um, Tango down. Watch out for more of these f***ers."

(Switching to Jon)

(He hears the explosion and gunfire from the building ahead)
Aww shit, Matthew

(With his camo on he runs over to the building)
(opens comms to Lynn (another member))

Lynn, get yourself over here

(He peeks in no one on the first floor)
(He throws a flashbang upstairs it goes off)
(He runs upstairs and begins to take down the rebels on the second floor)

(He sees the mangled body of Matthew)
Requiescat en pace
(He turns the camo back on and waits)

"AH, S***. ANYONE S-"
"Jonsey is dead."
"SON OF A B****."

I fire at the mangled pieces and a shield flashes. "Got ya bitch." I fire my clip at the wall hitting the target several times. "Take him down." The Rifles open up. "Nice, nice. There is probably more where that came from."

(As Draco)
(He sees on the screen video feed from a building nearby)
(Second floor many dead bodies)
(Two stand out)
No.
JON!
MATTHEW!
(He stands up and rushes out the door)
(He runs through the hallways)
(He finds himself outside)
(Andrea places a waypoint to the building)
(He runs to the building and enters)
MATT!
STOP THIS!

I hear someone scream from downstairs. "Stop this? Stop sending crazy motherf***ers after me and I might."

Why those that voice sound so familiar? AND knows my name....

(He runs up the stairs)
(He takes off his helmet)
(Rage in his eyes)
(He looks over to the bodies of Matthew and Jon)
(Jon is breathing, just barely)

(He looks at Matt)

You remember me

"Well, well, well, look who it is, long time no see Draco." I put my gun down, my men do the same. "Sorry if they were your friends, they did shoot at us ya know, oh and killed two of my men."

(He rushes over to Jon)
(He uses Jon's comms)

Grace, please. Im sending coords. Jon is here he is down, almost dead. Matthew has been K.I.A.
Hurry.

Grace-Draco, is that you?
Draco-Yes, just get down here. See what you can do. Hurry.
Grace-Okay.....but what are you doing here sir
Draco-Grace, that is an order.
Grace-Yes sir

(A few minutes later Grace arrives and begins to work on Jon)

(He looks over at Matt)
@Matt
Do not shoot her
I will have your life
If another girl comes in here, surrender.
You will not kill her as easily.
(He goes downstairs and leaves the building)

"Sir." I look at Dan. "The mission?"

"Ya, and? You want to walk out to a bunch of O.N.I agents, go right ahead." I look out the window seeing the base trying to recuperate. "Hmm. Downstairs, go."

We run downstairs, I look at the Spartan working on here teammates, and run down. "Alright, back door, we found a way below ground." Stevens opens the back door and we walk out.

(As she is working on Jon she comms to Lynn)
Grace-Lynn, this is not good
Lynn-What
Grace-I, I, I need transport for Matthew and Jon. Sending coords
Lynn-what happened
Grace-I don't know, Draco
Lynn-Draco? What
Grace-He is here, he told me to rush and get Jon healthy. I came here and saw Rebels, Matthews body (she is moved to tears)
Lynn-Calm down I am coming. What are you going to do
Grace-Im getting Jon healed now, I am going to try and bring back Matthew using flash cloning of organs and body parts made from mechanics
Lynn-I am on my way

(Draco manages to find his way back to the room he was in earlier)
(He sits down, like nothing happened)
(The screen still showing the building. Grace leaves with Jon's body and comes back for Matthew's. She loads them up into a Med Truck)

Good luck, Grace.

(The screen flips back to Ash and the doctor)

=Collins opens the door and finds a shotgun in his face=

Stay put and I won't take you head.

I see the barrel of a shotgun in my face. "Can I just have one break today? I mean seriously?"

=Torres reconizes the voice=

What the hell are you doing here Collins.

=An Oni officer burst into the room Ash and Maria are in=
Officer: What is she doing here you know the protocol!

Maria: I just brought her here to get an examination... She will be returned to her

=The officer interrupts Maria, and rest one hand on his gun in its holster=
Officer: I don't care why she's here send her back, its to dangerous to have her running around while were under attack.

=Ash looks over at Maria=
I can't go back not now... I need help please?

Maria: I'm sorry but its the rules...

=The officer walked over to Ash and handcuffed her=
Please you can't let him take me back?

Officer: Shut it! I don't want every Rebel in the building knowing where we are.

=He escorts Ash out the room and back to the cell block=

"Torres? Damn how many of my old friends are here? And to answer your question, a search and rescue. On who you may ask? I don't know, all I got is a description and a cell number. Bout it."

"Hmph, I'm getting payed for this, we've made it this far, I'm getting my target and leaving. So am I allowed to go without you up my ass? Or are you gonna follow me to the end?"

(He sees an officer burst into the room)
(He grabs Ash by the arm and rushes her out of the room)
(The camera follows them to the cell block)
(He stands, Jacobs still sleeping)
(He grabs his Hydra, Angel Maker, and Handcannon and runs out the door)
(He follows the path that he had taken twice only turning left)
(He continues to run until he finds the cells)
Ashlie are you here?

=A guard see's Draco and pulls out his gun=
Guard: Drop your weapons and get on the ground.

=The Guard twitch's nervously=

(He sees the guard and smiles)
Why don't you just walk away.
I am really not in the mood to kill right now.

=He starts walking backwards=
Guard: Keep your hands where I can see them...

=He reaches a panel on the wall it reads EMERGENCY ALARM he slowly reaches for it=

(He grabs his pistol, loads one freeze round into the chamber and fires at the guards hand)

No, you are going to freeze

(He hears footsteps)
(around the corner a familiar Spartan comes out)

Draco-Lynn?

(She walks up to him)

(Shocked)
Draco-Lynn?

(The spartan round house kicks Draco in the head)
(He falls flat)
(motionless)
Lynn-Get this Spartan in one of those cells. Take his weapons and armor
Guard-Yes, ma'am

(The guard takes his armor and weapons and throws him into a cell)

=Ash hears the fight=
Wait!

=She calls out to Lynn=
What's happening out there?

(She walks over to Ash's cell)
One of the traitors.
Calling out your name.
He is in the cell next to yours.

(She walks away)
Why are you here
Why did you come here
Why did you try and save Matthew and Jon
Why?

Traitor...? Who could it be...

=Ash retreats to the corner of her Cell=
I hope the others are O'k.. So much is happening I don't know what to think..

(he begins to stir)
Lynn

(His thoughts falter and land on Ash)
(He awakens)
Ow, my head

That voice?! Is it...

=Ash walks closer to the door of her Cell=
It can't be... I can't hear what they are saying... Please be Draco...

(A light hits his face)
(His red eyes downcast, but not defeated)
They are here.
(A tear begins to form)
(He lets it fall)
They are alive
(His eyes look over to the figure the dark blocking his vision)

=Ash turns away from her Cell door in shock=
It.. Can't be how the...? Why did he come here!? The idiot Oni are never going to let him go now...
