Day Dream # 7
This Entry is about a mission I go one and how I find a little kid.
(Day Dream start)
I woke up in my bed. I sat up and looked around.
wasn't i in the medbay? I thought.
I got up and walked out of my room. I was back in Truths main ship.
"Wait... Why... How...Whaaa?"I was very confused.
I saw Alias walking down the hall. "Cheetar your a wake" Alias said happily.
"What the heck is going on? Wasn't I in the medbay? How did I get here?" I asked.
"Yeah, when you fell a sleep we arrived at this ship so Cheetor and I carried you to your bed." Alias said.
"What?" I was still confused.
Alias sighed." Just go see Truth."
"Will he explain what's going on?" I asked
"Just go!" Alias said.
I walked toward Truth's chamber, I past several Honor Guards and Brutes. I got to the chamber and palmed the door panel, then I walked into the Chamber.
"Hello, Cheetar." Truth said.
"Hi" I said." Why am I here? I thought I was in the medbay."
"Didn't Alias explain it to you?" Truth asked.
"Yeah, but I'm still confused." I said.
"Just ignore your confusion" Truth said. " I have a new mission for you."
"Please tell me we're not going back to that evil flood place"
"No, your not going there it's a different Human base. You must destroy the Humans then take over their base." Truth smiled.
"OK.. So I'm in charge right?" i asked excitedly.
"Yep, but you not with Alias' fleet you're with a different one."
"OK" I turned and started to walk to the door. I will see Alias I know it
"Your second in commander's name is Scarface." Truth called to me.
"K!" I called back to him. I walked out of his chamber then down a hall.
I walked into the main hanger and saw Scarface. I knew it was him because the right side of his face was full of scars. There was a scar down his right eye, I could tell he was blind in that eye because it was white and only white.
I stared at him with shock.
He turned and looked at me. " Are you Cheetar?"
"yeah," I said still staring.
Scarface walked up to me.
"So we're supposed to be going to a Human base?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said again.
Scarface narrowed his eyes. " Let's go."
"Wait, is your name really Scarface or is that your nickname?" I stopped staring.
"It's my nickname, I don't like it when people say my real name." Scarface said as he turned and looked at my fleet.
"So I'm a Fleetmaster, not a Shipmaster." I said.
"Yeah, Fleetmaster's are a higher rank then Shipmaster's," Scarface smiled. " and you get to command everyone on the battlefield."
"Just like the old days." I chuckled.
"Old days?" Scarface asked. " You used to command a fleet?"
"I still do" I smiled.
"Hm"
"Come on, we should go." I said as I walked into my main ship, The great beyond.
"Is Alias Coming?" Scarface asked.
"Wow everyone knows him and no, he is not coming but we might see him on the mission"
Scarface went to the bridge and sat by his control console. Some other Elites sat at their own consoles.
I walked into the bridge, everyone stood and saluted. I looked at the Elites and smiled , I was finally in charge again. I nodded to my crew and they sat down.
I began to bark orders at them.
One of the Elites nodded then put in the coordinates to the Human base. I sat in my chair as, The great beyond, dropped into slip-space.
I looked at Scarface who was at the navigation console. I looked to my right and saw a pair of MgaLekgolo, Or Hunters. They stood tall, looking at my crew. I had always liked MgaLekgolo but they were weird, the way they were made up of Lekgolo worms. But they still fascinated me. I tilted my head.
They have to be body guards I thought
I looked back at the view port and saw that we dropped out of slip-space.
I turned at an Elite. "Get a group of five Elite, four Grunts, and 3 Jackals." I told him.
The Elite nodded then walked out of the bridge.
I turned to Scarface. " Get some Drop-pods ready."
Scarface nodded.
I walked out of the bridge and to the Drop-pods. I sat and waited for my squad. After five minutes I saw my squad walking down the hallway. I stood and signaled them to get into the Drop-Pods. The Elites walked into a Drop-Pod as the Grunts and Jackals went in the other. I walked into my own.
I activated my com-link and contacted Scarface. " Drop the pods." I told him.
"Aye, Sir." He said.
I heard the clicking and hissing of wires preparing to drop my pod. The pod dropped. It shook as it dropped to the planet below. The pods were now in atmosphere, the flaps opened and it slowed the pods.
It hit the ground, I kicked the door and walked out.
I saw the Elites pod drop at the left and the Grunts and Jackals pod at the right. The Elites kicked the door then walked out, the Grunts and Jackals whammed the door until it opened.
I told them that the Human base should be a few kilometers away to the west. They all nodded and began to walk in the direction. I followed them.
I looked at the surroundings, it was a beautiful planet, it had a lake to the right and a big forest of pine trees. I saw a couple of wild animals run from their predators.
A Grunt was walking beside me until it ran to join the Elites in the front.
I looked at the Grunt, Unggoy were also creatures that I liked, they were known as cowards and weak animals thus the name "Grunt". But I thought they were quiet deadly in numbers.
"Cheetar, the base is about 20 meters away." Said an Elite.
" Activate active camp." I told my squad.
Everyone activated it and headed toward the base.
I took out my energy swords.
We got to the building and stayed close to a wall. I signaled the Grunts to swing around the building and meet at the other side. The lead Grunt nodded and walked off.
The Elites and Jackals followed me into the building. I walked down a hall and looked in all the rooms. We saw a med-bay and we had walked past what looked like a cafeteria. We walked into a hanger and saw a squad of fifteen marines.
"I'm going to see what their talking about" I whispered to my group. " If anything goes wrong, wait for my signal."
"what's the signal." An Elite asked.
"You'll know it when you see it." I whispered back. I ran to a crate and hid behind it.
The marines were just talking about kids and German Shepherds. I looked at my squad then at the Marine squad. I lept onto a crate hopping the marines wouldn't see me. I crouched and listened to their conversation. They talked for ten minutes and still didn't see me.
"Stupid marines." I mumbled.
One of the marines looked around." Did anyone hear that?" He asked.
"Hear what?" Another marine asked.
"A voice or something that talked." The marine tried to find me but was having a hard time.
I chuckled.
The marine stared at the crate then moved his head up. He stared.
"Uh oh." I whispered as I slowly got off the crate.
The others looked at the crate.
"What are you looking at?" A marine asked.
"I thought I saw something." The marine replied.
I sighed in relief.
I walked to a different door and signaled my squad to join me. They quickly ran to me. We walked though the door and saw more marines. We crept past them then ran down a hallway.
I deactivated my active camo, then crawled into a vent. The others stared.
"Come on." I told them as I crawled toward a different room. The others joined me.
We crawled past dozens of rooms. I crawled up to a little vent shaft and looked through it. I saw five marines and two Spartans.
I activated one of my energy swords, jumped out of the vent, and landed in front of a Spartan. my squad jumped down beside to me.
I sliced at one of the Spartans but he dodged.
Four of the Elites shot at the marines as the other Elite, Jackals, and I attacked the Spartans.
The Spartans shot at us. I jumped to the right then tackled a Spartan. The spartan punched me as the other came to help him. I snarled then punched the Spartan back.
The jackals began to distract the other Spartan as I dealed with the one on the ground.
The Spartan kicked me off. I staggered back then lunged at him again. The Spartan grabbed my wrist. I looked, it was my wrist holding my energy sword. I growled as I tried to get out of his grip.
The Spartan laughed.
I grinned than took my other hand to grab my other energy sword. The Spartan stared at me through his helmet. I took my sword, activated it, then sliced at the Spartan. He tried to dodge but i cut his hand off. He screamed in pain.
I laughed as I stabbed the Spartan in the stomach. He dropped to the ground, not dead but out of the fight.
I turned to the Marines. Two of them had died but three still remained. I turned again and saw that the Jackals had been killed by the other Spartan, but an Elite had killed the Spartan. I turned back to the Marines, I ran at them.
"Watch out!" One of them yelled.
I lept then tackled a marine. I sliced off his head then got up. I turned to the other marines who were now retreating. They ran out the door then out of sight.
I looked down at the wounded Spartan then up at my Squad.
I heard a noise and spun around to see what it was. My sword was raised, ready to strike, until I realized it was a little Human girl about seven years old. I lowered my sword and looked at the little girl, she was crying and shaking.
My squad looked at me.
I walked up to the girl and growled."You are lucky." I snarled as I turned to walk out of the room.
My squad stared.
"What are you doing!? Aren't you going to kill it!?" One of the Elites asked.
"No, it's just a kid," I said " and I don't kill kids." I walked out of the room and into a hallway.
The others followed me, three of them looked mad.
"Everyone put on active camo." I said. I activated mine then continued down the hall. I walked to another room and stared. " The armory." I whispered. I turned around to look at my squad, behind them I saw the little girl. " Go in the armory, get some ammo or grenades." I told them.
They walked into the armory.
I stayed behind and looked at the girl, I deactivated my active camo and walked to the girl. " What's your name?" I asked her.
"Jena" The girl answered.
"Cute name," I said cheerfully." Why are you here? This is a military base."
"I don't know, my daddy brought me here." She said sadly.
"Hmm."
My squad walked out of the Armory.
I turned and looked at them, " Go find the Grunts, if any Humans get in the way kill them unless their kids."
They nodded then walked off.
I picked up Jena then followed them. The Elites deactivated their active camo. We walked to a hanger door. The Elites raised their weapons.
"On the count of three we storm the hanger," I said. " One... Two... THREE!"
We ran through the door and fired our weapons. The hanger was filled with marines and attack dogs. I stayed behind the Elites so Jena wouldn't get shot.
Two attack dogs ran at an Elite. He shot at them, killed one, but the other jumped and bit his arm. He screamed and struggled to get the dog off.
I put Jena down and ran to help the Elite, I grabbed the dog, yanked it off the Elite, and tossed it.
Jena ran to me and looked at the Elite who was now strangling the Dog.
I picked Jena up again.
"Jena!" A marine yelled.
"Dad!" she yelled back.
I looked at the marine and growled. " So that's your dad." I said.
"Yeah." she smiled.
I gave Jena to another Elite then charged at her dad. He dodged and ordered attack dogs to attack me. Two dogs attacked my right arm. I fell to the ground trying to shake them off. I saw Jena jump out of the Elites arms and ran to me. I kicked at the Dogs as they bit me.
"No!" Jena screamed. She tried to get the Dogs off.
Her dad looked shocked, he ran to Jena and dragged her away from me and the dogs.
I growled as I grabbed a dog by the neck then snapped it. It fell to the ground, dead. I grabbed the other dog by the scruff then tossed it across the hanger. I got up and glared at Jena's dad." You are a fool to bring your own child to a military base! I should kill you for your own stupidity."
He frowned. Jena was in his left arm, his weapon was in the other.
I looked at my squad, three elites had died. I activated my com-link and contacted the grunts. " Get over here, we need reinforcements!"
" On the way fleetmaster." The lead grunt said.
I activated my active camo and ran up behind Jena's dad. I took out my energy sword. I sliced at his arm that held Jena.
He jumped then let go of Jena.
I sliced at him.
He dodged then grabbed Jena again.
" Protecting the girl won't help you." I said deactivated my active camo.
" You will not harm her!" The marine screamed back at me.
"I'm not trying to, she has little purpose to this mission." I growled.
I looked over his shoulder and saw the Grunts enter through a door. I looked to my right and saw that my Elites were all dead. I activated my com-link then contacted the fleet." I need another squad of ten Elites, five Jackals, and two hunters."
Jena's dad whacked me with his gun.
I snarled.
"Your reinforcements won't last long slip-lip." He said.
I punched him to the ground then kicked him two times in the stomach. He screamed in pain.
Jena had ran behind a crate, she was frightened, but not crying.
I sighed then saw that the reinforcements had arrived.
Jena's dad got up and jumped on my back. I spun trying to shake him off. He held on yelling "Dogs!". I stopped to see attack dogs once again running at me. I growled then spun again, this time Jena's dad let go and slammed against a wall.
Jena ran to him,now crying slightly, but she wasn't injured.
I felt something on the back of my leg. I looked down and saw a dog biting me. I looked forward again and saw more dogs. My eyes widened. The dogs bit me and tried to tare me apart. I roared in pain and in fury.
The hunter reinforcements whacked four dogs off of me as I kicked at the others. The dogs yanked on my skin, I kicked a dog away then grabbed the last one. I was so angry that I bit the dog then tossed it at Jena's dad.
I heard something screech, a high pitched screech. I turned around and saw Alias taring Humans to shreds.
I turned back to Jena and her dad. Her dad had blood on his face and legs. Jena hugged him still slightly crying. I grabbed Jena's dad by the chest armor and snarled." You are lucky I don't kill kids or the kids parents, otherwise you'd be dead by now!" He grunted as I dropped him back to the ground.
I turned and realized that all the marines had been killed, only four elites, two jackals, and all the grunts had died.
The rest of the squad looked at me waiting for my orders.
I walked to Alias. " I thought I would see you."
Alias screeched something in his language.
"What are our orders?" An Elite asked.
" Your orders are to search this base and kill any marines if you see them but if you find any kids, don't kill them." I turned to Jena and her dad. " Keep them alive.".
The Jackals walked out of the building and guarded the door. The Elites searched the base for more marines. Alias stayed in the hanger with me.
"Should I take them to the prison?" Alias asked.
"Yeah... But be gentle with the girl." I said.
"OK" Alias walked to Jena and her dad. He picked Jena up and held her in his left hand. He grabbed her dad by the neck then headed toward the fleet.
I followed Alias to the prison room. There were Grunts by every prison cell and one Elite who was walking up and down the hall.
Alias stopped by a empty cell. He looked at me and screeched. I walked to the cell, opened it, then said "Speak English not Xenomorph."
Alias laughed. He put Jena into the cell then tossed her dad into it. He closed the door then walked out of the prison room.
I followed him. "Where's Cheetor?" I asked.
"Commanding the ship." Alias said.
"Oh."
I walked to the bridge with Alias by my side." So Ali, whats this ship called?" I asked.
"Stone Crusher" Alias said.
Cheetor heard Alias's voice and turned. " Oh, hi guys!" He said happily.
I grinned even though it was hard to with mandibles, " Hello Cheetor."
He walked to us." So what is fleetmaster like?" He asked.
"It's fun I love being in command." I said.
Cheetor chuckled.
I looked out of the view port, it was just empty space... with a giant planet.
My com-link beeped and I pressed a button on it, " What is it?" I asked.
"The base is clear, all Humans are dead." An Elite answered.
"Good, gather any information you can find and return to the ship." I said then turned my com-link off. I turned to Alias and Cheetor, " See ya later." I ran out of the bridge and back to the The great beyond.
I walked into the bridge, sat on my chair, looked at the Elite at the communication console, " Tell Truth the base is clear and that we're coming back." I told him.
"Aye, sir." The Elite said.
I looked at Scarface, " Take us back, scary."
Scarface sighed. "great, I already have a new nickname."
I chuckled.
A few seconds after we were heading back to Truths main ship. I got out of my chair and walked to my room.
I miss Grievous I thought.
I sat on a chair, took out a piece of paper and a pencil. I drew a picture of Grievous and put it on my wall.
After five minutes we were back at Truths ship.
I ran to the hanger, took a banshee, and flew to his ship. I landed in the hanger then ran to Truths chamber. I walked into the chamber, I saw Truth talking to the prophet of Regret.
Truth turned, " Cheetar! What brings you here?"
" I just came to say I completed the mission, all the Humans are dead." I paused, " But two are alive, a Human child and a marine."
" Why aren't those Humans not dead!?" Regret asked angerly.
" I thought we could question them, maybe get answers to some Human bases or Fleets." I replied.
" Hm, bring those Humans to me." Truth said.
I nodded then walked off to the prison in Stone crusher. On the way there I saw Alias and Cheetor, they waved to me. I waved back then continued to walk to the prison.I got to the prison in just a few minutes, I walked into the prison and to the cell with Jena and her dad.
I looked at Jena, she glared at me.
I opened the door and picked Jena up. Her dad grabbed my arm. " Don't touch her!" He said.
I just stared at him then grabbed him, " I won't hurt her." I said calmly as I walked out of the prison room and toward Truths chamber.
I walked past Alias and Cheetor again, they tilted their heads. I looked at them then down the hall.
I sighed and continued to Truths chamber.
I dragged Jena's dad the floor as Jena sat in my left arm. I walked past the honor guards then into Truths chamber.
Truth looked at me, "These are the Humans?" He asked.
"Yes, I don't really like the marine but the child is pretty good." I said.
"We should question the Marine first, he should have info about more stuff then the child." The prophet of regret said.
"I agree, I will get Brutes to take them to the questioning room." Truth said.
"Do I have any new missions?" I asked.
"Not at the moment, so you have a small break until we get a new mission." Truth replied.
"Did you forget that I was your body guard. " I chuckled.
"oh, yeah." Truth said.
I laughed, " I'm going to go see Ali and Cheet."
"Ali and Cheet?" Regret asked.
"Yeah, Alias and Cheetor," I said as I walked out of the chamber. I walked off to Cheetor's room.
I saw Alias and Cheetor with their group, they were laughing and chatting.
I crept up behind Alias. " What you chattin' about?" I asked.
Alias jumped slightly then turned. " Don't do that!" He said.
I chuckled. "So what are you chattin' and laughin' about?"
"Well now we'll be chatting and laughing at Alias," Cheetor said coming up behind his group. " but before you were here we were talking about how much you love Cheetahs."
"Go Cheetahs!" I said happily.
"So got any new missions?" Alias asked.
"No, the prophets are going to tell me when I get a new one." I said.
"The prophets really like you." Henry said stepping up.
"Yeah, I don't understand why though." I turned to face Henry.
"Maybe it's because your a gir-" Alias didn't finish his sentence cause I tackled him.
"They don't know I'm a girl remember." I whispered.
"Wow, I completely forgot." Alias said.
"What was that about?" Henry asked.
"Um, I love tackling people." I replied, embarrassed. " Wait a sec... Where's Scarface, I have a question for him." I said.
"Last time I saw him, he was in his room." An Elite said.
"Thanks," I said beginning to run to Scarface's room. " Talk to ya later!" I ran past my group and to Scarface's room. I stopped once I got there.
I looked through his door, " Ello Scarface."
Scarface turned. " Oh hey Cheetar, why are you here?"
"I have a question for you, well two questions." I said as I walked into the room.
"Whats your question?" He asked.
"What's your real name? because you said Scarface was your nickname." I said.
"My real name is Afri 'Mantakree." He said.
"Cool, my second question is, how did you get those Scars." I asked.
"Humans" Scarface growled. " I had gotten captured once, they tortured me until I had all these scars and thanks to them I'm blind in my right eye."
"Did you get a knife to the eye?" I asked.
"No, they whipped me."
"Mhm, That is torture, but apparently if you behave they will be nice to you, but I've heard they treat you like a dog." I said.
"Yeah, I wasn't to behaved, I always tried to kill somebody." He said with a smile.
"I would try to kill people too... but only certain Humans I would not kill." I said as I sat on a chair.
"Certain Humans?" Scarface asked.
"Yeah, I wouldn't kill kind Humans or if I ever had a jail partner I would never kill him or her." I said looking out of the door, "I miss my old friend."
"Who's your old friend?" Scarface asked.
"His name is General Grievous, I was going to ask Truth if I could go see him but I bet he'd say no."
"Is Grievous a Sangheili Elite or a different species? And also, doesn't Grievous stand for Grief?" Scarface said tilting his head.
"Grievous is a different species from a planet called Kalee and yes Grievous stands for Grief because in his life he has had to deal with the death of his family and other sad stuff." I looked back at Scarface.
"Hm, poor guy." He said.
"Yeah... Wow this is the longest conversation I have ever had, other then the ones I have with Cheetor and Alias." I said.
Scarface chuckled, "It's my longest conversation too, most people don't talk to me because of all the Scars"
"Thier afraid of you?" I asked.
"I think they are." He said smiling.
"You probably like that." I got off the chair.
"Yeah, most people stare at me, like you did when you first saw me." He walked next to me.
"Meh, I always stare at people because I Day Dream." I said Cheerfully.
"You Day Dream? Your lucky most Sangheili can't Day Dream."
I looked out of the door. "I should probably go now cause I have a feeling Truth has a Mission for me."
"OK, go ahead." He said.
"K bye." I said walking out of the Chamber. I was happy but I didn't know why.
I walked past the honor guards and towards the door. The guards at the door looked at me, I looked at them then walked into the chamber.
"Have any missions for me yet?" I said as I walked toward Truth.
Truth turned, " Cheetar! We do have a mission for you."
"Do I always surprise you when I come in?" I asked
"Yes, because you never tell me when your going to come in." Truth said.
"Why would I need to? It's not like you're talking about anything interesting." I chuckled.
"Talking about the Marine and the Human girl isn't interesting?" Truth said with a grin.
"It depends on what you were talking about, was it just how they're Human or was it about you getting information about Human bases or Human fleets or Human worlds?" I asked.
"It was about information, about the home world of the Humans called Earth, but there is a lot of Human fleets guarding it."Truth said looking at the Prophet of Mercy.
"So I'm guessing I have to destroy the fleets?" I asked.
"Yes, Alias and Cheetor will be with you, same with some different Shipmasters"
"Sweet, I'm in charge right?" I said excitedly.
"Yes, you're once again in charge" Truth smiled.
"Sweet," I said again. " Wait, since you got the information you wanted what did you do with the Humans?"
"They're back in their cell, we're probably going to kill them."
"WHAT!" I said angerly, " Don't kill the child!"
"Why not? It's a kid she had no information."
"But she has a lot to live for! How would you like being killed if you were still a kid." I growled.
Truth frowned. "I'll think about it, go get your crew ready for your mission."
I growled as I turned and walked toward the door. My arms were tense, my hands were fists. I walked out of the chamber and past the honor guards.
I saw Alias and walked to him. "They're going to kill Jena." I whispered to him.
"What!? How could they do that? She's just a kid, I'm not even that cold hearted." He whispered back to me.
I looked to my left and saw Cheetor walking to us. " Hey Cheetar! Did you hear the news? We'll be coming with you on your next mission." He said happily.
I growled.
"OK someone isn't happy." Cheetor said stepping back.
"Yeah, she's not happy because Truth is going to kill Jena." Alias told him.
"Who's Jena?" Cheetor asked.
"The kids Cheetar captured," Alias said turning to me." Are you ready for the mission?"
"Yeah, we should be leaving in about forty minutes." I said still angry." I'm worried about this mission, if Human fleets guard Earth we don't know how much people to bring because we don't know how much fleets there are."
"We're supposed to be bring ten shipmasters with our mission, including Shipmaster Rtas." Cheetor said.
"I'll see you guys later, I'm just going to go to my group." I told Alias and Cheetor. I walked off toward the hanger bay. I growled as I pasted a squad of 10 Elites. Five of them stared at me. I looked at them, then looked at the door to the hanger.
I walked into the hanger, my group was preparing the ships for the mission.
Two elites looked at me. " Hello Fleetmaster." One of them said.
"Hi" I said back to him.
"Are you ready for our mission?" He asked.
"Yeah, are all the shipmasters ready and are the ships prepared?" I asked.
"Yes, their all ready so we should be going soon" He said.
"Okay, I'll see you two on the ship." I said walking to our main ship, The invincible Journey.
I saw Scarface and Henry walking to the door. I ran to them. " Hello Scarface and Hen Hen." I said.
"Hello Cheetar." Scarface said.
"Yeah, Hi Cheet." Henry said.
"Are you both heading to the bridge?" I asked.
"Yeah." They both said.
"I'm going there too, so I might as well join you." I said. We walked down a hallway that lead to the bridge. I walked to the bridge door and opened it. I walked to my chair as Scarface and Henry walked to their consoles. Scarface was at navigation, Henry was at the communication console.
"Wait a sec." I said looking at Henry. " Aren't you with Alias and Cheetor?"
"Yeah, but Truth told me to go with with you because Alias and Cheetor were suposed to come with you in this ship." Henry said.
"Oh, OK, Ali and Cheet should be here soon." I said.
A few minutes later, Alias and Cheetor walked into the bridge.
"Hi guys." I said to them.
"Hi" They both said back. " You're in a better mood."
"Yeah, I don't know why though." I smiled. I turned to Henry. " Put Fleet-com on."
"Aye sir." he said back. " Fleet-com on."
"Shipmasters," I said through fleet-com, " We are preparing to leave in five minutes."
"We are ready and waiting." said Shipmater Rtas.
"Good to hear your voice, Rtas."
All the Shipmasters said they were ready to leave so we decided to go. The Invincible Journey left the hanger and was now in space. All the shipmasters were behind The Invincible journey.
"Lets go find Earth!" I said over the Fleet-com channel.
Scarface put in the coordinates for Earth.
"Everyone ready for slipspace?" I asked.
"Ready." The Shipmasters reported back.
I signaled Scarface to go into slipspace. He nodded and then we were in slipspace.
Alias sat at a control console, Cheetor stood beside me.
I turned to an Elite, " Are there any enemy contacts? I asked.
"No, not yet." He answered back.
I sighed, " How long until we get there?" I asked Scarface.
"About ten minutes, maybe less." He said looking at his console.
I looked at the view port.
I wonder how much ships there are I thought. "Any contacts now?" I said sounding bored.
"Nope."
Cheetor looked at me, " You're so impatient." He said.
I chuckled slightly. I looked at Cheetor and Cheetor looked at me. Even though we could not see each others eyes, we stared. We stared at each other for three minutes. At the corner of my eye I saw Alias staring at us. "What are you doing?" He asked.
"Having a staring contest." I said.
"But you can't even see each others faces!" He laughed.
"So?" I said still staring at Cheetor.
Alias chuckled.
"Fleetmaster, ten enemy contacts." An Elite announced.
I stopped staring at Cheetor and stared out the viewport, We dropped out of slipspace. There were twelve Human fleets guarding Earth.
"Human ships in attack position." The Elite said turning to look at me. "Fleetmaster, they out number us twelve to one."
I looked at the Elite then back out the viewport, "Oh...My...God." I was shocked.
Well we're screwed I thought.
Alias looked at me."Well don't just stare!"
"Prepare for battle." I said through fleet-com, I turned to the Elite at the weapons console. " Target laser and energy projectors on those fleets!"
"Yes, sir!" The Elite said, "fleets targeted waiting for your word."
"Fire." I said.
The attack hit a human ship, the ship started to hit us with every thing they had.
"fire spike lasers!" I said. I turned to one of the Hunters beside me, " Do you think we're going to win?" I asked him unsure if we were.
Alias and Cheetor looked at me. " It's not time to think about that!"
"I Don't-" A button began to flash on my chair, I pressed it and a Human voice filled The Invincible Journey's bridge.
"This is vice admiral John of the UNSC ship Tarago Surrender covenant fools you're out numbered!"
"Contact that Ship." I told Henry.
"Aye, aye sir." He said. "Ship contacted, speak when ready."
"Shut up admiral John!" I said to the ship leader. "We will not give up to your pathetic ships."
"Listen to me Elite! You have a few seconds to pray to your stupid gods!"
"Why? You going to kill us?" I laughed. "Good luck trying."
"We can blow you to smithereens if we wanted too, but you're giving you the chance to surrender, if you don't your ship will be destroyed."
"We will never surrender to you!" I yelled.
"If you say so." That was the last thing Admiral John said before ending the conversation.
We went back to Fleet-com.
The Admiral sent giant missiles at The Invincible Journey.
"Target ship Tarago." I pointed to John's ship. " Give them everything we got."
One of the Admirals missiles hit one of out engines. The engine made a weird noises then exploded.
Thats bad I thought
"Cheetar, engine two is down!" An elite reported.
"He's purposely targeting our engines." I growled.
The Admiral sent more missiles. They hit engine one, the engine exploded.
I growled, "If they're going to play that game so will I! target his engines fire spike and plasma projectors."
"Yes sir!" An Elite said.
I didn't even notice that the Admiral had sent more missiles at the third engine. The missiles hit the engine. It was critical but it didn't explode.
The missiles that I sent hit the Admirals first engine, it exploded.
He sent more missiles, he once again attacked the third engine, this time it exploded.
"Cheetar, three of your engines are down, do you need help?" Rtas asked through fleet-com.
"Yes." I said.
"Okay, I'm coming to help you." He said.
I turned to Scarface, "Do you know how much shipmasters we have left"?
"Six left, two exploded, and two crash landed on Earth." He said. He sounded worried.
"Target the Admirals second and third engine, they should explode if we send lots of spikes." I told the Elite at the weapons station. I looked at the Admirals ship, his first engine had exploded. I looked to the left and saw Rtas's ship. I smiled.
The Invincible Journey shook.
"Cheetar, they attacked engine four." Alias said.
"If one more engine explodes we'll crash land, and I really don't want to crash land." I growled. I looked at Cheetor, his face was purple and he was clinging to a control console. "You okay Cheetor?" I asked.
"I feel a little sick, but other than that I'm fine." He replied.
I looked at the Admirals ship again, my spike missiles made his second and third engine explode. I laughed, " He only had one engine left, he should be crash landing by now."
"He's probably on the back up engines." Cheetor said.
"Do we have back up engines?" I asked.
"No"
"Oh god"
All of a sudden a red light blinked through the whole ship.
"Engine four is down! We're going to crash land!" An Elite screamed.
My eyes widened.
Alias Jumped up onto his console and held on to it. The other Elites held onto their consoles. Cheetor and I couldn't really hold onto anything. I jumped out of my chair. I went to a control console and held onto it.
The invincible Journey was going head first into the atmosphere.
I screamed but still held onto the console.
Cheetor smacked up against the view-port. Alias stayed in the same position because he knew what to do when our ship was crash landing. He stayed completely calm while everyone else, including me, screamed at the top of our lungs.
The invincible Journey smacked the ground.
I accidentally let go of the console and slammed into a wall. Cheetor slammed against the wall too.
The ship rolled, everyone tumbled except for Alias who was still holding onto the console.
I smacked into the console again. Everything was spinning and blurry. I whacked against the wall again and passed out.
(Alias's view)
I stared at Cheetar's unconscious body. I looked to my left, I saw Henry and Scarface holding onto their consoles for their lives. I also saw Cheetor smack into the view-port and pass out.
The ship stopped moving but there was plasma fire everywhere.
I crawled down the console then went to Cheetar's unconscious body. I deactivated his mask and fake voice then deactivated Cheetar's. I screeched then went to Cheetor and deactivated his mask and fake voice.
I looked around the bridge, everyone was either dead or unconscious. Cheetar's Hunter body guards were dead.
I heard the sound of the door so I spun and stared.
Two Elites from Rtas's ship were looking fro survivors.
I screeched a warning to them. They stepped back and stared at him.
"We're looking for survivors we're not going to hurt you." One of the Elites said. "Is there anyone alive?
I nodded then pointed to Cheetor, Scarface, Henry, and Cheetar.
"Anyone else?" The Elite asked.
I shrugged.
A squad of Elites walked up behind them. Thier leader was Shipmaster Rtas.
"Rtas." I said.
"Alias, is Cheetar okay?" Rtas asked.
I shrugged again.
Rtas signaled the medics into the bridge, they looked for elites that were alive. Rtas and I dragged Cheetar out of the ship and onto the grass. We started to make a big line of unconscious Elites.
I looked at the surroundings, my good sense of smell could track Humans two miles away, but I couldn't smell anything. I looked at the line of Elites then up at The Invincible Journey. " There goes that ship." I mumbled. I looked up at the sky and saw the battle against the Humans, I saw covenant reinforcements come out of slipspace.
They could of done that before we crash landed I thought.
My arms tensed. I was now mad at Truth. Almost three quarters of my crew were dead and only half of Cheetar's crew were alive.
"Alias, were you the only one who didn't pass out?" A familiar voice said.
I turned, it was Scarface, he was awake and alive.
"Yeah," I said sadly.
"Where's Cheetar? Is he okay?" Scarface asked.
"She." I mumbled as I pointed to my body.
"What?" Scarface asked.
"Nothing," I said as I walked to Cheetor's body. I turned and looked back at the ship. I growled, this would have never happened if Truth had sent the reinforcements sooner.
(Back to my view)
I woke up, everything was blurry. I groaned and looked around. I heard a growl and turned my head to the right, it was a black blurry blob. I closed my eyes for a few seconds then opened them. It wasn't blurry anymore. The black blob was Alias.
I groaned again.
Alias heard the groan and turned. He screeched happily.
I tried to screech back to him.
Scarface walked next to Alias, he looked down at me, "You're awake!" He said happily. "And alive!"
A medic walked over to me. He waved his hand in front of my face. I followed the hand. the medic smiled then helped me to my feet.
Alias walked beside the medic. He didn't have his mask on.
Alias said that he had deactivated my mask and fake voice.
"Why did you growl?" I asked him.
"Because of Truth, there are covenant reinforcements now. He didn't send them when out first engine exploded. He should of sent them." He snarled.
"Now we both hate Truth." I whispered to him.
"When are we going to see Truth as a group, not just you talking to him." Alias whispered back.
"I don't know. I think he doesn't want us to be in a group." I whispered." And by the way when are we going to tell him that I'm a girl?"
"I agree I think he doesn't want us to be in a group and we'll tell them you're a girl next time we see Truth."
I looked at the medic,"Why are you still here?" I asked.
The medic chuckled then walked off.
"Hey, Cheetor's awake!" Alias said. "But he looks drunk."
"Really?" I asked turning to look at Cheetor.
He did look drunk, he kept stumbling and almost fell over twice when we was walking.
"Cheetar, have any good beer lately?" I laughed.
"Well sorta, I banged my head pretty good but other than that, no I haven't had any good beer."
Alias and I laughed.
Cheetor shook his head then walked to us. "Ya know, I just realized I'm always the one getting laughed at or I'm always the third person to do everything." Cheetor said staring at me.
"Well you get laughed at because you're funneh and you're always third because I'm used to you being third." I told him.
Cheetor sighed.
I looked up at the sky and saw a covenant cruiser coming to pick us up. I was happy the cruiser was coming but I was angry at Truth for not sending the reinforcements earlier. I smiled but growled lowly.
(Day Dream end)
