Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2

=I land safely in the hangar and help Syaa off the pelican=

Me: =to Jay= Let's blow those motherfuckers off the map.

I turn to him

No. We wait until Dormii is back first. Then we run. Killing them only gives them more of a reason to hunt us.

Not my fault! It was the cliff! Some rocks moved and my arm fell in a little notch. Totally not my fault!

=I get the message and go pick Zeru up= Cmon! Were leaving!

hold on =he dodges a punch from grace grabs a knife and stabs it into her skull before hopping in dormiis ship=

ok lets go

I head to my quarters.

My headaches getting worse. I'll try sleeping it off.

=i fly back to the Trophaeum. I land with relatively safe flying, a small burst out of a thruster makes me scratch a Pelican=

=I hop out with Zeru behind me= Uh, sorry about that. Had to reach over from the right and I clipped a button. It should be good with a new coat of paint. =the scratch is a foot deep and three feet long=

=I begin to reload my pistol magazine=

Me: Hey, what is going on Dormii...

=I broadcast right into Snow's helmet= You tell me. Was it really Macgraw?

Me: I am sorry, I don't know who MacGraw is.. but he doesn't seem to like you guys

=I tried to smile=

Me: He seemed to like me

=to Snow= okay, well thanks, even if it wasn't much.

=I take my helmet off and walk off=

=he makes sure the trophaeums cloaking is still in effect and he has it take off= dormi can i come to the bridge please now would be appreciated

=I look at Syaa=

Me: Godspeed.

=I walk into the interior of the ship=

=I hear the comm and head to the bridge=

=to Zeru= what's up?

this =he shows dormi the chest he found in the temple and explains how it happened= i can't open it no matter what according to the words written my name got etched on it while in the temple which makes me wonder if it's for me why won't it open

Wish I could tell you what to do. I have no idea what it is.

=I inspect the chest= Profer tuum arcanui. Reveal your secrets.

=I wander through the reminiscents of past memories=
=The pool of blood in the Bathroom, bullet holes and bloody bandages in the medbay=

=I go into rooms individually=

=Dormii's room: I lay a small device in a drawer=

=Jay's room: An undercover pistol.. don't mind if I do=

=Draco's room: bags of food.. taken.=

Me: Well.. my job here is done.

sounds interesting any other ideas

syaa's sees snow doing that so she grabs him slams him into a wall and makes him put them back

Me: Syaa.. don't make me do it.

=I try to struggle away from her=

syaa: one phrase rubber band amd machete

=I look Syaa in the eyes=

Me: Please.. let. me. go.

syaa: then put them back

Me: This is an emergency.. don't make me hurt you..

Nothing, unless you decide that you really want inside of it. Then I can blow a hole in it with my shotgun.

syaa:what makes u think u can hurt me

me: i tried nothing works...wait it said reveal ur secrets what if it means i need to realize something tht happend

Me: I don't want to hurt you.. here.. I don't need these

=I give Syaa Draco's things=

=syaa takes everything he stole and puts them back where they belong=

Me: I am sorry Syaa..

=I raise my pistol and fire a shot in her stomach=
=I retrieve the undercover pistol=

Me: I am sorry..

=I kiss my hand and put it on her forehead=
=I walk down the halls=

syaa on comms: that little bastard shot me
me: dormi please take care of him for me but don't kill him

=I get to the hangar and prepare to take off=

Me: Sorry you guys, it has to be done.

not so fast

=the trophaeums hangar bays close trapping snow in the hangar=

=The pelican crashes into the hangar doors, leaving a gash in my arm from the glass=

Me: Shit..

=I put my head back and lay there.=

I'm also seeing Acta non Verba, action not words, and Superus tenet lux, the past hold the light. Mean anything?

=the comm comes through=Will do.


=I head to the hanger bay and meet Snow= Well?

Me: What's up..

=I unholster my pistol and fire shots at the spartan, not affecting him=

=I sigh as he tries to shoot me. I walk forward and break his arm= I am disappointed, Snow.

=The gun drops into the other hand=
=I hand him the gun=

Me: Please.. make it quick.

=I take the gun and club him with it. I do not knock him out= Why? So you can escape your crimes? You don't get that luxury.

Me: I have not done any crimes, it is to escape you.

=I grab the barrel of the gun and point it in my face=

Me: Shoot me in the motherfucking face! BLOW MY GOD DAMN HEAD OFF!

Why?! What have we done?! =I keep my finger off the trigger=

=I throw the gun aside=

Me: I.. I can't take being hostage with you guys. Always being taken away from home..

=I start to tear up inside my helmet=

=to Zeru= not until I hear his story.

=to Snow= and? We've all lost our homes! What makes you special, huh? That yours is still there?!

Me: You guys have no family left.. I have people, a good home, and a girlfriend still hopefully on Earth. I am trapped in this desert of nothing.

So you would rather die than try to see them again? if you want, I can take you to earth, to see your family and friends.

But remember, the UNSC does not tolerate deserters, even those who try to return. I know, I'm one of those who tried to go back.

Me: Please they would shoot this ship on sight if it got near earth..

=I struggle myself out of the Pelican, taking the pistol from Dormii=

=I walk through the ship to Syaa=

Me: Here, Syaa.

=I toss her the pistol=

Me: Go ahead, your turn.

Me: I don't see why anyone would do that, I don't want them to drag them into this mess

=I take the gun from Syaa=

=I walk through the halls and turn off my Comms=

(The pelicans fly off)
(Macgraw fuming)
Macgraw-Mission Failure! Never in all of my years had I had a failed mission!

Matthew-Im sorry. I should have kept a better eye on them
Jon-I also take partial blame
Macgraw-Where's the other one
Matthew-Grace had been injured
Macgraw-How
Jon-Stabbed in the head
Macgraw-Where exactly
Jon-back
Macgraw-When we get to the base, Get her in the Medical wing ASAP.
Matthew-Yes


(They arrive in the perfect time)
(Surgery)
(A few hours later)

(She opens her eyes)
(Partially blind but she can still see figures)

Grace-What's...........What's going on. I can barely see!

(Matthew walks into the room)
Matthew-You were stabbed in the back of the head.
Grace-What
Matthew-You are partially blind
Grace-But, I need. (A tear begins to form and fall) my eyes.
Matthew(wipes the tear off and hugs her)-It will be okay.
