Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 5

=i look back at Ash and Jack. i look back out the ramp. there is no one there, yet. i see a dust cloud coming towards us=
Guys, I'm going to go check this out. Stay here. Be prepared to leave if necessary.

=i step out of the Pelican and put my magnums away, but easily accessible=

=He simply nods and stands there, ready to rush out into a battle=

(He stands up and heads to the back of the Pelican)

Hmm.
This should be fun.

me knowing our luck it should be draco

syaa then count yourself lucky last i heard from him before we cut loose and jumped was they were severly injured

@Syaa and Tar: Then we must find them, or we have failed.

@syaa, you know what Syaa? Fuck you and your notions of "luck" okay? It's not luck okay, now stop being a bitch and let's go after them some now!

=looks at Senox=

Broccoli is bad, but not that bad. and yes senox we need to find them...

=i put my hand up to signal whoever is coming towards us. i can see there are at least three mongeese and one warthog. i stop and wait for them to approach, well within range of the others=

Hey! Hold up!

I see the Pelican off in the distance. I grab my AR and turn the Safety off. UNSC....out here? We drive up to them, I jump out of the passenger, and train my gun. ".....Dorm?"

=i hear a familiar voice=
Collins? Collins that you?

syaa well then get to a panel and start looking for them

me yo dormi who is it

=He stands on the ramp, his MCR ready=

=i call back to the Pelican=
It's Collins! The Pelican pilot from Torres' ship!

=to Collins=
C'mon. We got some wounded and well, a Pelican!

Xazhi- Collins? Who's Collins?

Scythe:

=I follow Collins =

Hey Collins wheres th-

=sees Dormii=

who are you?

"Don't scare us like that again. A fucking O.N.I Pelican? We are all set with getting aimed by then."

=to Jack=Someone I know, a friend. I thought he died.

=to Collins=How else were we supposed to get here? Walk? It's a long story.

=to Scythe=You tell me yours, I'll tell you mine.

(He looks over at Ash)

@Ash
Looks like we found some old friends.

(He smiles)

=I look at the man=

The name's Scythe

=I hold my hand out=

And you are?

=Ash steps to the edge of the Pelican looking out=
Collins!? I haven't seen him since... Must have been on Torres's ship...

=She looks back to Draco=
You coming..?

=He sees the new person=

Xazhi- Hey its...

=He waves=

Xazhi- Hey, Scythe! It's Jack! From the hotel!

=walks out=

long time no see matt how have u been

@ Jack, you better be the real one!

=i grab Scythe's hand in a handshake=
Dormii Fortuni. Well, that's what I go by now. C'mon, let me introduce you to the others.

=we head back to the Pelican=

(He walks after Ash)
(Up to the group)
(He looks around, getting a feel for his surroundings)
(Staying quiet)

Xazhi- Yea, its the real one...

=He laughs=

=I see Draco=

Hey Draco what's up?

(He looks at Scythe)
(He nods)

=Ash looks around realising Snow is still in the Pelican=
Great... I better go back for him...

=She looks at Scythe before turning back=
Small universe huh..?

@Syaa: They could be anywhere! You expect us to just start looking?

Code:

That would be improbable. They could have only travelled a certain distance.

@AI: Who are you? What are you?!

Code:

I am Elyon. This ships AI.

@Elyon: So where could they have gone, Elyon?

Code:

I am still processing the small, particle size data recovered. This may take a while.

=I wave at Ash=

indeed!

@Draco, is snow here? I want to apologize for nearly blowing him up.

=I grin=

(He nods)

@Scythe
He is sleeping.
Also badly injured.
We need to get everyone to the nearest medical facility here.

=She heads back to the Pelican stepping inside=
I hope you realise what I'm doing for you...

=She walks closer to him quickly inspecting his wounds=
He needs help... the sooner the better... But can I even carry him on my leg? I have to try...

=She picks Snow up throwing him over her shoulder=
Well.. I've felt more pain...

=She begins to limp back to the others=

=i go and help Zeru up=
C'mon. Let's go see how things are doing over wherever you guys live.

=we start heading towards the vehicles=
Ash, you okay?

=sees Ash with Snow=

Need help?

(He looks back and sees Ash having trouble with Snow)
(He walks back to her and takes Snow)
(He smiles)
@Ash
Ive got him

(He puts Snow under his arm and helps Ash)

=She looks up at Dormii=
I'll be fine... Don't worry about me.. I should be asking you that, you got hit worse then I did...

=She smiles at him trying to hide her pain=
Dormii..? I'm sorry... I almost got us all killed... We should have been more careful...

btw domri i'm gonna be honest with you my biofoam injectors were nearly empty used most on my knee my chest wound has barely any and is still bleeding out a good bit i'm pretty sure i'm passing out from blood loss

=passes out=

=I catch Zeru and lift him as best I can. i smile back at Ash, noticing her pain=
Hey, it's okay. And no, you didn't. You couldn't ave controlled those Marines any more than I could. It wasn't your fault.

Scythe:

Well, obviously i missed one hell of a battle, Anyone need help?

=Ash looks at Scythe sighing=
He really has no idea...

=She turns to Draco=
What about you..? Are you sure you can carry Snow..?

=Her eyes glance back to Dormii=
I should have... We almost died... All of us...

@Ash

Just a bit of added weight.

(He sighs)

@Scythe
Here take Snow.
Load him up.

(He places Snow on the ground)

=i catch Ash's eyes=
Don't worry about it, Ash. If you really want, we can talk about it later. Deal? We can discuss how it could've gone better, but it won't change anything.

=I pick up Snow=

Where do I put him!?

=She walks closer to him, smiling=
Come on... Lets get out of here... We've almost made it...

=She turns back to Dormii, nodding=
I was thinking about it... And if we didn't leave when we did... We would of been killed by the Covenant.. And if Jay didn't run off... She would have too...

=She smiles at him=
You saved her Dormii.. I guess it was fate...

(He smiles at Ash)

@Scythe
Figure it out.

(He points to the Warthog)
@Ash
How about we take that.

Yea...I guess. She's probably dead now anyway. Died hating me...

You don't think that...

=i put Zeru down on the hood of a Mongoose and get in the driver's spot, starting it up=

@ Draco, That doesn't help!

=She sighs walking over to Scythe=
Just give him here... Were going to get a ride on the Warthog...

=She picks Snow up looking back to Draco=
Come one.. Looks like theirs spare seats in the back...

@ ash , so I'll be riding with you guys?

=I hop in the back=

C'mon Jack we're leaving!
