Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 3

(The rain stops once more)
(He makes a stop at the cave)
(He puts on his armor and grabs his weapons)
(He heads to the base)
(After a few minutes he enters)
(He heads to a room and lays down his stuff)
(He sits on the bed)

=Ash stood back up=
This place is getting cold... I should head back to the room maybe the others are back...?

=She headed back to the rooms=
This place still gives me the creeps, its so empty... I just feel like this is a bad place.

=She gets back to the room and walks inside, she spots Draco on the bed=
Where have you been all day? I was getting worried

=She smiled=

(He looks up)
(He smiles as she walks in)
@Ash
I was just doing some scouting.
How are you

=She lies next to him=
O'k I guess... I get a little creeped out here...

=She hugs him=
Did you find anything interesting?

@Ash
I found absolutly nothing

(He smiles)

Maybe next time

=She pulls herself closer to Draco=
Maybe.... I don't even know why we are really here..?

@Ash
I dont know either.
Jay wanted to come here.
Maybe to say one last farewell.
I dont know.

(He kisses her)

I know what you mean... Saying goodbye, but for what? So we can escape our life in war...?

=She kisses him and holds his hand=
I wanted to say goodbye... Still I never did, maybe its for the best... It's not something we can just forget if we say goodbye to it.. Its a part of us

@Ash
Its where we grew up.
Its where we learned.
Where we trained.
So many experiences.

=She looks into his eyes=
It's where we lived....

=She looks away=
But what sort of life is that, I lived for war...

@Ash
We all did.
That is what we were taught.
We had no choice.

We had a choice... We just chose wrong

=Her eyes tear up=
I don't even feel like a person anymore, not after what I've seen... What I've done, who I failed...

(He turns her head to his)
(He wipes a falling tear from her cheek)
(He hugs her)
@Ash
Everything that a person does.
Everything a person sees.
Can make them stronger.
A person learns from the mistake

(He kisses her)

I'm not strong.. The stuff I've seen has just broken me, I don't deserve to become strong after the people I've failed...

They look to you for hope, they see a Spartan... they've heard the stories, but the don't see you scared.. Not under the visor..
They think their safe because your there, but you don't know what to do... We can't win, only fight till we fade out

=She turns away from Draco=
People need us Draco.. And all were doing is hiding in this coffin!

@Ash
We knew of this coffin when we signed on.
We just never know when it is just going to close.

(He lays down on the bed)

Oni is trying to close it on us.

=She turns back to him=
We all no why their dong it! It isn't to hurt us! Its because we hurt others... They think we should pay, sometimes I think we Should...

@Ash
At times.
But at the end of the day.
We are all fighting to live another day.
Another day to evade Oni.
Another day to live and love.
That is how I like to think.

=She rest her head on Draco's chest=
I'm sorry... I didn't mean it like that, I'm not saying what they did was fair... But we aren't being hunted for no reason...

=She kisses him=
Your the only thing that's felt right in my life for a long time... I love you

(He kisses her back)
(He smiles)
@Ash
I love you too.

=She smiles at him=
So... Looks like were alone here

=She winks at him=

(He looks at her)
@Ash
What do you want to do.

=She smiles=
We could do anything..? But I thought since we were alone..

=She pushes herself closer=
We could...

=She kisses him=

(He kisses her, longer)
(He smiles)
@Ash
Anything you want to do.
I shall follow.

(He kisses her once again)

=She kisses him again faster repeating the motion, just stopping to speak=
If you can... I know it's hard, with Zayne...

@Ash
I can keep him away.
I hope

(He kisses her once more)

=She kisses him again and pushes up against him=
We don't have to...

=She looks away=
I just... wanted to be with you...

(He brings her head to face his)
(He kisses her)
@Ash
I wanted to be with you too.
Im okay.

=She looks back into his eyes and kisses him again, she moves closer to his body. her hands move around him, she begins to take off his chest piece=
Why did you chose to wear your armour this time...

=she laugh=
Wait where did you even get this armour?

@Ash
I found it on the frigate.
An entire room full of sets of armor.
Unknown why it would have them thier.

Really..? That is strange, I have never seen a Frigate with something that valuable on it...

=She takes his shoulder pieces off=
Are you going to make me do all the work?

=She laughs=

(He begins to take the rest off)
(He finishes)
@Ash
Where were we again

(He kisses her)

=The Solun Spirit floats over a dense jungle planet covered in massive thunderstorms. The 3 people onboard, Voutan, Vas, and Immer, are all about the ship doing different things. Voutan is in the Bridge blasting music, and Vas and Immer are playing cards in the rec room with Bojangles next to them. Voutan calls them to the bridge. They drop their cards and head up=

Voutan- So this is it. Chi Ceti IV. Our target is down on the surface. Vas, Intel?

=Vas brings up some intel on his Tacpad=

Vas- Well, theres not much to tell. A mainly jungle planet, a few buildings. Although we will have a hard time getting down, due to the massive Thunderstorms that are common on the planet.

Voutan- Well that should be fine. Lets get going. Get your gear, we're heading down.

=Vas and Immer head to the barracks to collect their armor and Gear. Voutan pilots the Spirit down to the planet's surface and activates its cloaking systems. They land in a small clearing a few miles from what appears to be an abandoned training compound=

=She kisses him back faster this time, she leans over and pulls of her shirt.=

(He presses against her)
(He kisses her again)
(Not wanting to fall into the abyss)

=She runs her hand though his, her grip tightens, she smiles and kisses him slowly. her other hand moves across his body=

(he traces her body again)
(the first time not enough)
(Her scent fills him)
(He kisses more urgently)

=She presses her body closer to his, she moves with him her fingers following his=

(they continue on)
(Following each other)
(Getting closer)

David, after doing push-ups for a while, decides to go outside and scout the jungle. He jogs briskly until he reaches the border of the base, peering into the forest and making note of landmarks, dips, etc.

He then ran back in put everything in his rucksack -which was now much heavier-. Everything except his handgun and knife, that is.

=She kisses him again but slower, She begins to move her hands lower, her breathing becomes faster=

(He moans, his breathing matching hers)

=She moans softly to match his, she moves her body along his. she moves her hands around him=

=The Spirit lands in the clearing. Sunreion, the shipboard AI, appears above the console. He appears as a tall, slender man with a Green overcoat and white t-shirt underneath, wearing Blue jeans, and a pumpkin on his head. Voutan removes his chip and places it in the back of his helmet. The ship cloaks and the squad leaves for the compound. they come up to the outer wall and activate their Camo and Heat Cloaks before hopping the wall. An alarm sounds and they run towards one side of the compound and take shelter=

(Closer)
(He kisses her, longer)
(Then faster)

(He hears the alarm trip)
Not again
(He breathes heavily)

David looked up as the alarms went off, grabbing his handgun and his knife. He wish he had kept his ODST armor, but that was gone now. He looked outside to get a good idea of where the infiltrators were coming from.

=Ash pushes away from Draco=
What...? Someone's here!?

=She jumps up off the bed and throws her clothes on, she turns back to Draco=
It couldn't be Macgraw...? Could it?

(He looks up at her)
(He shakes his head and sighs)
@Ash
I dont know.

(He stand and begins to get his armor on)
(He grabs his weapons, and his supply case)
(He sighs)
@Ash
You ready.

=Voutan signals Immer. Immer punches in a few commands to his tacpad. He throws something at the opposite wall of the compound. The item explodes and leaves a man-sized hole in the wall, as well as a large amount of smoke=

=The facility shakes as the main lights go out because of the explosion, lighting begins to roar in the distance=
Shit! The lights are out... No! I left my weapon in the hall!

(He hands her the M99)
@Ash
Here take this

(He flips on his light)
Lets go
