Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 3

(He kisses her)
@Ash
And I am fine when you are with me

(He begins to sing)

"I wanted you to know,
I love the way you laugh,
I want to hold you high and steal your pain,
away"

=She kisses him again=
Your so sweet... I love you.

=She rest her head on his chest and listens to his heart beat=

@Ash
I love you too.

"I keep your photograph,
I know it serves me well,
I want to hold you high and steal your pain"

(He kisses her forehead)

=The storm grows as lighting strikes in the distance=
I wish I could sing to you... I just don't know any songs

=She laughs to herself=

(He smiles)
@Ash
Dont worry.

"Time, is going by, so much faster than I
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you
Now I'm wondering why I've kept this bottled inside
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know

You're never gonna be alone from this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go, I won't let you fall
You're never gonna be alone, I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone"

=She smiles, the storm expands and sprays debris across the sky=
The storms getting worse now...

=She closes her eyes and hums softly, the vibrations pass though Draco's chest=

(The storms begin to brew harder)
(Stronger)
(The Winds begin to go through the cave once more)
(Lightning is seen touching down at the base)
Oh crap

=Ash's eyes shoot open as the lighting strikes, she sits up=
Do you think their O'k...? That shock could of turned the power back off...

=She looks closer at the complex=
I don't know if I could turn it back on... Dam it what should we do..?

=She turns to Draco=

(His training kicks in)
@Ash
Okay, Ill try and get the power back on
You get them out of of the base
We need to get out of here ASAP

=I turn on the comms again=

David, what do you see?

=She grabs his arm=
I can't go back in there! What about you...? Your a huge target

=She points at his armour=

@Ash
Help me get this stuff off

"I see a few suits of some old antique armor. Come down here and check it out yourself." David looked around the low-lit room, stepping in and leaning on the wall next to the door. He could've sworn he heard footsteps other than his own.

=She looks at him and raises and eyebrow=
You got anything underneath?

=She winks=

(He smiles)
@Ash
Nothing.

(He laughs)
Yeah I got my civie clothes on.

Roger that

=I collect my DMR magazines and slide down the ladder and follow his footsteps=

=She laughs and begins helping Draco take of his armour=
You sure about this...? I got the power on last time...

@Ash
okay then.
You try and get the power on.
Ill get the other two

(They get his armor off)
(He kisses her)
Lets go

"It's the only open door in the back of the outpost." David decides to wait outside, so he leans on the wall outside the room, watching the door.

=She sighs=
I should go inside... I only said that because I was scared of going back inside...

=She kisses him=
You see if you can get the power back on... I will go inside.. It will be faster, I know where they are.

=She grabs her sniper rifle and looks down at it=
Just in case...

=She smiles

@Ash
I love a girl that can snipe
(They run out of the cave to the base)

=she follows Draco the storm blowing harsh winds against them, she watches as Draco heads for the Bunker with the power terminal in. She runs off to the entrance of the facility=

Almost there!

=I turn the corner to see David=

Ok, what is the deal here?

(He gets to the bunker)
(Water dripping from his face)
Alright
Lets see what I can do

(He begins to work on the terminal)

=Ash stands outside the door to the facility, she stares inside=
Its.. pitch black, come on Ash you can do this..

=She walks inside=
Why didn't I bring a light.. Wait... I hear something, its behind me...

=She spins around and raises her rifle=
I'm going crazy... there's nothing in here, I have to find the others

=She begins searching inside=

Come on you f-ing piece of crap

(He gets the monitor on)

Well, lets see here

(A code is needed)

Crap

(He begins to guess the code)

=Ash walks faster with every step=
I sware I'm hearing things...!

=She turns around again=
I can't see anything.. Dam it! I'm just wasting time

=She starts walking again she passes the canteen=
O'k their not to far from here...

=There's a scratching noise behind her, she swings round and fires her rifle the noise echo's though the hallways as the blast lights up the room=
There's something here... This is crazy I'm just scaring myself... Lets just get everyone out of here as soon as possible..

=I peer into the room to see two sets of Mjonir armour=

Alright, we can't leave this shit here

=I turn on universal comms=

Anyone there? I repeat, we need urgent assistance!

(I look at him) Hello, nice to see some plesant company around, other than the Spartans.

(I get a little closer) Mind telling me your name, I don't believe we've met each other...Name's Marcus.

(He types the word Ghost into the terminal)
(It lights up)

"Power 0%
Back-up Power 50%"

(He types in the command)

"Transferring available power to main power"
"10 minutes"

Come on Ash. I know you can do it

=Ash runs faster=
Dam it I don't remember what room it was...

=She looks behind her again=
I don't want to call out if something's following me...

=She begins looking in the rooms one by one, she hears more noises behind her.=
This is taking to long... I have to call out, what if their not even conscious?

=She aims her rifle=
Jay...!? Bull..?! Anyone...?

David looks over to 'Marcus', quirking his eyebrow under his helmet. "What are you doing in an abandoned SPARTAN facility?"

"8 minutes"

I need to get in there

(He runs out of the bunker)
(He gets to the base and goes inside)

(He unholsters his Hydra)
(He walks in)

(I tell my story) Well, I tagged along with a group of Spartans that arrived earlier. I'm sure you know Dormii, he's here.

(I add) All I did was follow him at distance and then come in along with him.

(I take off my helmet) Does that clarify your question?

=I walk out=

Hey.. Marcus..

=I try the comm again=

Draco! Where did you go?

=As Ash called out a small howl could be heard, as rapid footsteps could be heard=
What is it...? Wild dog...?

=She steps backwards=
I never go on with dogs...

=The noises come closer and closer, the dark hallways pound with the shrieks of the beast=
Dam it where are you two...!?

=Another loud howl was heard, Ash fired he gun blindly=

David nods, "Sorry. Just, don't try to sneak up on me please. My name is David." He extends his hand.

(I shake his hand) Pleasure's all mine. And no, I won't do that again.

(I scratch my head) Now what do we do about with these spare suits? They're going to be a bear to haul out.

David nods, walking into the room, "One or two SPARTANs should be able to carry one at a time."

"6 minutes"

(Draco runs through the dark halls)
So dark

=Ash pressed her self up against a wall facing the hallway she came from, and now where the noises are emanating from=
Stay Back!

=She fires again=

(I look puzzled) Now where can we get a spare Spartan? Its not like one will show up convienetly.

(I frown, still puzzled) If there is one Spartan, how are we going to get the other?

I hear scuffling in the corridor and push Dormii away from me. I take care to make sure he is still asleep before leaving the room.

Hello? Ash? Anyone?

(He hears gunfire)
What the heck
Hey
Dormii
Jay
We need to get out of here now!

=Hears gunfire=

Is anyone out there in need of assistance!

=I walk down the hallway of the Armoury=

=Ash fires into the darkness again, she looks over at Jay=
Get a gun there's something in here!

=She fires one more time=
Quick that was my last shot!

(I hear it too) Gunfire. Magnum, from the sound of it.

(I look at David) Looks like the armor is going to have to wait...

I drag Ash inside the room and shut the door. Once we are a little bit of light i realise i'm still not wearing any clothes and blush slightly

Errr... Sorry about this. But there's nothing out there Ash.

(He finds the source of the gunfire)
Hey!
Whats with the gunfire!

David tries the comms, "Guys, we could use some SPARTANs over here to do some heavy-lifting." David wipes cob-webs off the antique armor.

Suddenly, he hears gunfire and draws his handgun. "You may be right, Marcus." David walks out with Snow, holding his pistol down, hugging the walls.
