Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2

(At the hotel)
(The door is kicked open)
(Marines pour in)
Macgraw-I want those traitors found and arrested

(At the cliff)
(Draco looks at Ash)
@Ash
I think so

(He looks down)
Oh crap
Help me down

Syaa: Zeru did not come back last night, I can't imagine where he is.

=I nod and head out the back door of the building=

Me: =through comm= Anyone who can hear this, please respond!

@Ash
Okay

(She grabs his robotic arm and he lets her down)
(She manages to get Dormii's arm out of the crevice)
(He lifts with all of his might)
(The arm begins to pop loose)
(He gets them both up just in time)

(At the hotel)
Macgraw-Spread out take anyone you see

=I hear Marines inside the hotel=

Me: Roger that, high command, we have the hotel secure. There is one person inside the compound

=Ash lies Dormii down=
I don't know what to do...? I'm no medic.

=She looks up at Draco=
What do we do?

You stupid, stupid, asshole! Wake up! You need to wake up, and go back to Jay. Don't let something that has no thought beat you. WAKE UP!

=i bolt upright screaming= nnnnnaaaAAAHHH! =the pain of my arm registers= Oh, gods, what now?

=i look around and see Ash and Draco= Oh, umm, hi. When did you guys get here?

(He pops his robotic arm back into place)
@Ash
What I just did is the answer

(He looks at Dormii)
@Dormii
Hey man, Um cant really do small talk right now, Macgraw is here and he is arresting everyone

(At the hotel)

(Macgraw hears over the comms)
(Laughs)
I have been in so many battles.
You really think that that would work
Tag and Bag ladies. especially the traitor to the traitors

=i look at my arm= Crap.

=to Draco= You sure? I figured he was killed. Knife to the eye tends to do that.

=Ash sighs with relief=
It's a long story we aren't even sure what's going on... Where's Jay we need to get out of here fast... What about Zeru is he with you guys?

=to Ash= Zeru, yes, somewhere. No idea where. Jay is....=cough= sleeping.

Hold on. =i try to snap my arm back into place, i end up making it worse. i scream in pain= AHHHH SONOFabitch. Nevermind, that didn't work.

=i stand up= It's easier if I show you.

=to Draco= Hey, is that arm water-proof?

(He looks at Dormii)
@Dormii
Yes, why


(back at the hotel)
Marine-Sir we have captured two of the traitors
Macgraw-and the other one
Marine-No clue sir
Macgraw-And what about my little girl you found her
Marine-No
Macgraw-WELL GO FIND THEM!
Marine-Yes sir!

Then follow.

=i run and jump off the cliff, angling into a one-armed dive. my left arm held to my stomach=

(I put on my ODST armor)

A welcome break from the norm

(I hear the Marines as well)

Oh Shit, shit, shit , shit!

(I hightail it out the rear entrance)

Now lets find the guys and get a move on

(I start looking for Jay, Dormii or Zeru)

=I struggle at the cuffs=

Me: What the hell are you doing! I not a traitor!

Aww jeez

(He looks at Ash)

@Ash
You ready to jump?

(Back at the hotel)

(A group of marines run into Marcus)
Marine-you are under arrest for treason

(A person pops out of camo behind him and puts cuffs on Marcus)
Jon-Hello ODST

=She looks at Draco=
I'm not a very good swimmer... But yeah I guess I can try.

Jon-Hello ODST

(I struggle in the cuffs) Hello you dumb sonofabitch.

(I can't ge the cuffs off) Looks like I've been had haven't I.

(I look at the Spartan) Take me to the commander here. I may have intel they need.

@Ash
Hold on to me

(He grabs her and they jump off)
(They hit the freezing water and swim in Dormii's direction)

(At the Hotel)
Jon-Well looks like we got another traitor among the traitors

(He leads Marcus to Macgraw)

=i pull myself out and then Ash, then Draco= This way.

=i head towards the cave with Jay inside=

=While Marcus is talking to MacGraw I steal my scissors from my medical bag and cut through one part of the plastic cuffs=

=I slowly reach for my gun and fire a shot in MacGraw's leg and I run into the dense jungle=

=Ash climbs out of the water and looks at Draco=
Next tell me before you jump!

=She smiles=

=to Ash= Then you'll try and stop him.

=to both= Hold up.

=i go inside and get Jay more....presentable=

=i call outside= Okay, you're good.

(He smiles at her)
@Ash
Well, dont you like the cold water

(Macgraw goes down)
Macgraw-FU-- GET HIM!

(A Group of marines run after Snow)

(Snow runs into a large man within the Jungle)
(More machine than man now)
Matthew-Hello there little man

(His large Machine gun turret glistens in the light)
(More marines appear behind Matthew)

(The Marines chasing Snow appear behind him)
Matthew-Go back

=I holster my gun, look him in the visor and calmly say=

Me: I know it may not seem like it, but I am not a traitor.. I am a hostage.

(He leads Marcus to Macgraw)

(I look at MacGraw) I'm no traitor. I'm the exact damn opposite.

(I look at Snow) Don't do it.

(He fires a shot and I run off in the direction of Jay's beacon)

Come and get me

=Ash heads inside the Cave=
what is she doing in here...?

(He looks down at the ODST)

Matthew-I am just following orders. Go.

(He points the Turret in the direction)
(The marines' guns trained on Snow)

Me: Ok.. I guess I have to follow orders, too

=I walk back to where I had once ran away from=

Me: Hello, sir.. didn't mean to.. shoot you..

=i gather my helmet and put it on. i pick Jay up and she wraps her arms around my neck, even though she is asleep. a smile is on her face=

(Grace is walking around on the beach)
(She sees a person)
(The marines with her handcuff him and take him to the Pelican)

(Back at the cave)
@Dormii
Alright any idea about the others

(At the hotel)
Macgraw(turns to Snow)-I should have you executed right now. But since I am in such a good mood Ill let you live

(Grace and her squad arrives with Zeru)

Macgraw-Find the other ODST

=I over hear MacGraw=

Me: Other ODST?

=I point to his wound=

Me: You want me to fix that up a bit?

=to Draco= No clue.

=to both- If one or both of you boost my armor signal to the Trophaeum, i can remote pilot in some Pelican's and the Dream of Luck.

Macgraw-Ill have one of My medics take care of this. ANYONE WANT TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON MY LITTLE GIRL
(He laughs)
She is going to be grounded when I see her

=Ash turns back to Dormii=
That's a bad idea they could trace that straight back to us!

If they can trace something routed through each one of their own comm units, cyclic-encrypted, and have an appeared origin of in space back down to us, then they deserve to catch us.

(I find a tree and saw through the cuffs by finding a tough branch)

That's going to smart

(I look and and spot a cliff)

Never tried swimming in armor. First time for everything...

(I look and see the Marines)

Screw caution. Here goes nothing

(I run and dive off the cliff)

(I hit the water, but don't sink)

Thank you vacuum rated armor

(I head for the beacon)

There you are

I'm just saying, the tech these guys are carrying is advanced stuff they don't wan't to leave without your head... Or Draco's....

=She looks down=
Or mine..

=I stand next to one of the towering spartans=

Me: Does this happen a lot?

(He looks at Dormii)
@Dormii
Alright, lets do it


(Matthew looks down)
Matthew-First mission with him

=i turn towards the splash= Company. Get ready.

=Ash pulls out her gun and takes aim=
I can't believe they found us already..

I didn't start yet. So it wasn't me. Anyone got a spare pistol? I left all my stuff on the ship.

Me: Well.. with your luck, it will be your last.

=I grab a beer from the cooler we put out yesterday=

(He unholsters his Hydra)
Lets rock

(He gives his Handcannon to Dormii)

(I get out of the water and raise my hands)

(Panicked) Hey, hey, hey. Don't shoot. Its, me Marcus.

(I look at the guns pointed at me) I'm unarmed. And I come in peace.

=i accept the Handcannon= Thanks.

=to Marcus= You better be. I don't like killing friends.

= is just sitting there in his cuffs playing cards=
