This entry is about how Rtas, Afri, Henry, Cheetor, Alias, and I have to survive on the Halo Ring for days, wondering if we'd ever get off.

(Day Dream Start)

I awoke to someone screaming at me. Everything was blurry, but I knew who was screaming.

"Cheetar get up! Wake up! or do something useful!" Cheetor yelled.

I shook my head and everything wasn't blurry anymore." Shut up, Cheetor." I mumbled. My head and chest hurt a lot.

"Cheetar, what happened?" Cheetor helped me to my feet.

"After you passed out we got attacked by the flood... And by the looks of things, I think we lost." I saw Alias on the ground, his acid was everywhere, "Is Alias okay?" I asked.

Cheetor shrugged, "I think so, all I know is that he's wounded, just like you." Cheetor replied.

"What?"

"Looks like you got shot in the chest," Cheetor said.

I put a hand on my chest than looked at the hand, it was covered in purple blood, I stared with shock.

Cheetor saw my shocked face and quickly said, "Don't worry Cheetar, it's not to bad of a wound, it's not as bad as you think."

I looked at Cheetor then back at my hand, " Let's wake up the others." I said still looking at my hand.

Cheetor nodded, he walked to Rtas, "I'll wake up Rtas, you wake up Henry."

I walked up to Henry, "On the count of three yell wake up." I said, "One, Two, Three!"

Cheetor and I both yelled wake up.

Henry yelled when he woke up, "What the heck!?"

"Sorry Hen Hen." I said as I helped Henry to his feet. I looked to my left and saw Rtas standing over Cheetor, Cheetor was curled up in a ball. "What did you do Rtas?"

"Just taught him what happens if someone yells at me to wake me up." Rtas smiled.

I looked back at Henry, he was looking at my bloody chest.

"Cheetar..." He sounded worried, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I...I'm fine," I looked around, "Is everyone else awake?"

"Well, I am now." Scarface walked beside me, "You guys are very loud." He put a hand to his forehead.

Cheetor looked at Alias, "Do we have a medic?" He asked.

"Alias is the medic." I said.

"Oh... That's bad."

"I told you to train to be a Medic, but no. You wanted to be close combat fighter." I tilted my head and stared at Cheetor.

"Well... Shut up." Cheetor mumbled.

I picked Alias up, " Looks like we're walking."

We all walked away from the flood infected base and began to walk somewhere less infected. It took us 8 hours to get to a good place.

Everyone was exhausted.

"Let's set up a little base here." I said as I lowered Alias to the ground.

There was a river to the right and a forest to the left. By the river there was big stones and little pebbles.

I looked at Scarface, Henry, and Cheetor, "Afri go get some rocks so we can make a fire pit, Henry you go get wood, and Cheetor go find some food and if any of you find something that could be useful bring it back here."

"Yes sir." They all said as they ran off.

I looked at Rtas, "We have to watch Ali."

Rtas nodded to me. "If Alias was awake this would be a lot easier, " Rtas said as he walked to a log.

"I know, out of everyone he is the most skilled... Not sure if he's better than me, though... he might be." I started to mark the area where the fire pit would be.

Rtas dragged the log close to the fire pit mark. "This log can be a little seat." He said.

"Do you have outdoor experience?" I asked.

"Yeah, Truth made every Sangheili Elite survive for a week on their own." Rtas sat on the log.

"I learned to survive from a T.V show. " I huffed, "... And people say you learn nothing from T.V."

Rtas laughed, "T.V can teach you a lot of stuff."

"I grew up watching T.V and playing awesome violent video games, that I probably shouldn't of been playing."I saw Afri come back with an armful of rocks. He put the rocks on the ground then went to get more. I grabbed the rocks and started to make a fire pit.

"Where are we going to sleep?" Rtas asked.

"Most likely by the fire until we make a tent." I continued to add rocks to the fire pit.

A few hours went by, Cheetor, Henry, and Afri had returned. We already had a fire going. Afri had found a rope in the river so he brought it to us.

Cheetor found lots of food, he found fruit, vegetables, and meat. He did have to kill for the meat but it was for survival. Cheetor sat on a log and cooked the meat on the fire.

"It feels like we're camping." I said.

"Well, camping in the dark is kinda creepy at..." Cheetor looked at his super watch, " 12:01 am." Cheetor finished cooking the meat.

After we ate, we all lied down and tried to sleep. Everyone fell asleep before I did.

I looked at Alias, I was worried about him, he was still wounded. I was too but I wasn't  as bad as Alias was. I put my head on Cheetor's stomach and fell asleep.

When I woke up.I saw Alias was awake and making something.

I got up and rubbed my eyes, "Alias, What are you making." I yawned.

Alias turned, "I'm making a tent."

Alias looked completely fine, he didn't seem to be bothered by all the bullet holes in his skin.

"Oh, That will help." I sat on a log, and put a hand to my chest then looked at my hand, there was no blood, "How long have you been up for?" I asked as I smiled at the sight of no blood.

"About 2 maybe 3 hours. I didn't want to wake you so I decided to make a tent." Alias looked at the fire that was surprisingly still lit. "How are you holding up Cheetar, I saw you get shot."

"Oh, I'm fine." I smiled.

"Good morning Alias and Cheetar." Rtas sat beside me, "Anyone made breakfast yet?"

"I am." Alias said, "It is cooking on the fire."

I looked at the fire and saw that Alias was cooking fish, "You went fishing?"

"Yep." Alias tossed some wood onto the fire, "You should wake everyone else up."

"OK." I walked to Cheetor and shook him until he woke up.

"What!?" He growled.

"Get up or no fish!"

Cheetor shot up, "Fish!?"

I gave Cheetor a evil look, "If you wake Henry and Scarface up can get an extra piece of fish." I grinned.

"Yeah!" He ran to Scarface and yelled wake up then ran to Henry and shook him.

Scarface glared at Cheetor, "One day... One day." He said as he rubbed his eyes and got up.

I laughed, "You want to kill him don't you."

"Yep."

"Hey is Henry a deep sleeper?" Cheetor asked.

"Yeah, why." Scarface replied.

"Because he won't wake up!" Cheetor was about to kick him when Henry grabbed his leg and made him trip.

"When I'm sleeping no one bothers me." Henry growled then got up and sat on a log.

"Jeez, I just wanted you to wake up." Cheetor got back to his feet.

Everyone sat by the fire as Alias handed us some cooked fish.

"Oh how much I love my fish." I took a big bite out of the cooked fish, I made sure I didn't take a bite out of any bone.

"I'm going to continue on the tent." Alias picked up some sticks and continued to work on the tent.

"Maybe surviving out in the wold won't be so bad." Cheetor said.

"Yeah, but we'll still need a way off this ring. So once we have lots of food and water we'll send someone to go look for a base." I said, "Now who would that someone be."

Everyone looked at Alias.

"Of course me, just because I'm fast, smart, and can last months with eating something." Alias picked up a rock and threw it at us.

I laughed, "You're almost invincible."

"True."

"But don't forget, you only go once we have a small base and lots of food."

"I know... Right now I think Truth thinks we're dead." Alias growled.

"Well when we get to him he'll be dead." I snarled.

"I'm going hunting." Cheetor said, "If I find anything useful I will bring it here." Cheetor ran off into the forest with his DMR and Chainsaw.

"Hmm, Cheetar." Rtas said, "What do we do if Humans find us."

"Uh, maybe try to get them to not kill us or ask if they have a ship or we kill them or their supplies or..."

"Okay i get it!" Rtas grabbed some sticks, "Should we make a little storage for our food and water." He asked.

"Yeah... This is going to be like stranded 2." I also picked up some sticks, "And people say you learn nothing from video games."

"You learned stuff from games?" Rtas asked.

"Yeah, I learned how to fight by playing Halo1,2,3,4, Halo Reach, and some other games. I learned how to survive and take care of stuff by playing stranded 2 and sims 2 pets." I smiled.

"Stranded 2 sounds like it would be a very good game to learn how to survive." Rtas started to make the storage.

"It taught me a lot of stuff, like how to make a bow and arrow, a hammer, and some other stuff." I started to help Rtas.

"Hey a hammer would be very useful, how do you make one?" Rtas asked.

"You would need a strong stick, a stone, and most likely a piece of vine or rope." I said almost positive, "... And if we had some hot glue that would come in handy too."

Henry joined in on the storage, "Rocks could be used to make a storage right?"

"Yeah, some rocks would make it a bit stronger," I looked at Scarface, "You want to join in or are you just going to sit and be bored."

"I'd rather sit and be bored," Scarface looked at Alias.

"Done the tent." Alias made a satisfying chirp.

"Is it big enough for all of us to sleep in?"

"It's be enough for 5 Elites," Alias said," I'll stay outside and be the 'night watcher' of what you so call it."

"Oh yeah, from my Cheetah Group ranks." I said happily as I thought about my group of Cheetahs.

"I am and always will be the Night watcher." Alias smiled.

After 3 and a half hours, Cheetor had returned with a lot of food. We had finished our storage and decided to make a little bed for ourselves.

"How long have we been surviving for?" Cheetor asked.

"2 Days, including today." Scarface replied.

"Really? It feels like like a week." Cheetor sounded shocked.

"Probably because you've been running off into the forest and killing stuff." I said.

"running off is fun." Cheetor looked around.

"I think we're going to be pretty good at this surviving thing, and I think we are going to leave this  ring sooner than I expected." I smiled.

"I can't wait to leave this place." Henry blurted out." I hate being outside, well sorta."

"Sorta ain't an answer." Scarface looked happy for the first time of the day.

My mind wondered off and I began to think about something different. I was thinking about my family and what Truth might do to them.

"Cheetar." I heard Alias say.

I looked at him, "Yes?"

"You look mad, why?" He asked.

"Oh, I'm just thinking of stuff." I looked at the fire pit, "The fires going out."

Cheetor grabbed some sticks and put it on the fire, "What were you thinkin' about?"

"Jerkface prophet of lies." I looked at Rtas, "Do you still believe in Truth."

"What do you mean?" Rtas asked.

"Ya know, about the great journey and that god stuff." I tilted my head.

"I still believe in the Great journey and the gods." Rtas looked at Alias then back at me.

"I sorta believe in the gods... sorta." I again thought about Truth. "Gah! Cheetor when we get back to Truth's ship give me your chainsaw."

Cheetor grabbed and hugged his chainsaw, "Why?" He sad quickly.

"Cause I want to cut Truth's head off with a chainsaw." I said aggressively.

"Oh, OK." Cheetor put his chainsaw back on the ground."

Everyone went silent.

The silence broke only slightly by Alias's heavy breathing.

"Alias, why do you breath so heavily." I asked quietly.

"It's natural, Xenomorphs naturally breath heavily and I'm part Xeno as you already know." Alias tossed some more sticks onto the fire.

"Whats a Xenomorph?" Rtas and Scarface asked.

Me and Alias looked at each other.

"Hard to explain." Alias looked at me, " Can you explain it?"

"I'll try," I replied, "Xenomorphs are... well they're like bugs... sorta, they have a Queen Xenomorph and they are really intelligent."

"What do they look like?" Rtas asked.

"They are black sometimes brown. They have a tail like Alias, back spikes, and six fingers sometimes four and they have acid for blood." I looked at Alias.

"They don't sound that deadly." Scarface said.

"Don't sound deadly?!" I said, shocked "Xeno's are killing machines, they even kill when they're born."

"We can show what they look like and how they act from a video." Alias looked at me, "Cheet, you have the vid?"

"You talkin' bout' the tribute to Xeno's?" I asked.

"Yeah." Alias replied.

"Yeah I have it." I pressed some buttons on my super watch and a hologram appeared, "Just to tell you this video may give you nightmares." I pressed play and the video started.

The song 'Disturbia' began to play. The video showed Xenomorphs eating people alive and people getting facehugged they even saw one Elite get facehugged.

Everyone was shocked except Alias and I when it showed Alias bursting out of the Humans chests. Rtas looked away at that part.

Alias appeared in the video when the song said, "There's a thief in the night to come and grab you."At that part it show's Alias grabbing a Human and pulling them into the darkness.

The video finally ended and almost everyone was freaked out.

"Uh, OK, now they sound deadly." Scarface said, he was shaking slightly.

"That's right." I looked at Rtas, " Bet you're surprised that they facehug sangheili Elites."

"Why do they do that?" Rtas asked.

I laughed, "Don't worry they only facehugged one elite just to get Alias."

"Wait," Rtas looked at Alias, " So you're the only Stagomorph in the universe?"

"yeah, unless I get lonely of being the only Stago but at the moment. I love being the only one." Alias lied on the ground. "What time is it?"

"4:13 pm." Cheetor said.

Alias made a low growl, "I'm already tired."

"I think everyone is... probably because we are just sitting, staring at the fire, and talking." I heard a noise coming from the forest.

Alias shot up, he had heard the sound too. Alias looked at the forest. Everyone else looked too.

We saw a warthog burst through the tree's and stop just a couple of feet away from us. There was 3 marines, one was driving, one was in the side, and the other on the turret.  We all stared at the marines, they stared back.

"The snack that stares back." Alias said.

I couldn't hold back a chuckle.

The marines got off the warthog. I walked to the marine that looked like the leader.

"Hello." I said.

"Uh, hi." The marine looked at Alias, "Did he call us a snack?"

"Ignore him, he does like to eat people though, so I suggest you're careful around him." I said.

"You guys Covies?" The marine asked.

"Sorta, we are covenant but we're most likely going to kill the leader."

"So you guys won't attack us?" The marine looked at the other two marines.

"Nope, we're trying to survive." I also looked at the other marines.

"Hmm, at least you won't attack us." I said happily.

"Well we got to go before our sergeant thinks we're dead." The lead marine smiled then got into the warthog. The other two marines joined him.

The marines left and I was sad. My sadness surprised myself. I hated Humans so it was strange how I felt sad that they had left.

"You know Humans are technically making fun of Sangheili with their warthogs." Alias said.

"How?" Rtas asked.

"Wort means Go in Sangheili and their vehicle is a Warthog so they're making fun of Sangheili... technically." Alias grabbed a stick and started to draw in the mud.

I chuckled, "Gohog."

"Cheetar remember what you used to say when you wanted to go somewhere." Alias looked at me.

"Lets wort, lets wort, lets wort wort wort." I laughed

Rtas, Scarface, and Henry laughed.

"If a Human heard that they'd probably saw 'I don't want to know what that means'. " Henry said.

"Most likely." I said.

"Hey do you think the Kig-Yar, Unggoy, and the Jiralhanae will attack us if they see us?' Scarface asked.

"Most likely." I said again.

"Brutes are tasty." Alias randomly said.

Everyone stared at him.

"Let me guess, Elites taste good too." Rtas said.

"Don't know, I never tried them." Alias looked at Henry and gave him an evil look.

"Don't even think about it, Bugger." Henry raised his cricket bat.

"Cool it Henry." Cheetor patted Henry's shoulder. "He's just joking."

"I didn't say that." Alias turned to Cheetor.

Cheetor stared at Alias, "This is why you have lots of friends because, you're hilarious."

Alias smiled, "And I'm still more mature than you."

"No you're not." Cheetor growled.

"Actually Cheetor, he is." I said trying not to offend him. "But that's not a bad thing, cause I'm immature too."

"Really? I haven't noticed that." Cheetor said sarcastically.

"I really don't want to fight the Mgalekgolo." Henry said.

"Hunters? Yeah I don't want to fight them either, they would literally rip our heads off." I said.

"why are these species so hard to pronounce." Alias chirped.

"I don't know." I also chirped.

"Cheetor, what time is it now?" Alias yawned.

"What am I? The time keeper?" Cheetor asked.

"Yeah, now what time is it?" Alias asked again.

"5:10 pm." Cheetor growled.

"Time go by faster!" Alias yelled.

I sighed, "We should do something interesting instead of just sitting and talking."

"I agree." Rtas said, "What should we do?"

"Hey, We could train." Cheetor said happily, "We have weapons so it will be easy to train."

"Okay, pick a partner to train with." I said.

"I got Alias!" Cheetor said as he quickly linked arms with Alias.

"I got Afri." Henry said.

"Scarface." Afri growled.

"Uh, Okay, I got Scarface."

"I guess I get Rtas." I said, "At least he has an energy sword."

Rtas activated his energy sword. I looked at Rtas and smiled, "Your move." he said.

I activated my energy sword and jumped at Rtas. He blocked my sword, with his other hand he tried to punch me. I hit his hand away with my hand then I tried to hit him in the face. Rtas kicked me before I hit him. I staggered back but lunged at him again. He tried to block but I tackled him to the ground. He roared and swung his sword. It grazed my wrist as I tried to block. Rtas kicked me off. I jumped to my feet then quickly punched Rtas across the face. Rtas roared in pain as he swung  his fist to hit me in the stomach.

For a couple of seconds the air was knocked out of me. Once I regained my breath I looked to see Rtas's fist now coming to my face. My eyes widened then I got punched to the ground. I kicked randomly to see if i could hit him, I hit him three times, one time in the leg the others in the arm then his jaw. Rtas bellowed in pain.

I looked to my right for a split second, I saw Alias and Cheetor training. Alias kept in trying to bite Cheetor while Cheetor kept training to shoot Alias with his sniper.

I looked back at Rtas. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled evilly back at him then jumped and kicked Rtas in the face. Rtas fell to the ground in surprise. I stood over him and laughed. Rtas tilted his head then tripped me with his foot. I hit the ground, head first.

I yelped, "Ow!"

"Sorry." Rtas said as he lept to his feet.

I also lept to my feet. I deactivated my energy sword and tossed it aside. " We seem to be hand-to-hand combating." I said.

Rtas deactivated his sword and tossed it aside. He pounced. I dodged then kicked him in the back. Rtas growled, turned, then started to punch at me. I blocked his attacks. I was surprised when he helicopter kicked me into the storage. I shook my head then barrel rolled to the right. Rtas and I ran at each other, trying to kick or punch each other.

After what felt like 2 hours, Rtas and I both lied on the ground gasping for air.

"Training has never been this exhausting." I said.

"yeah," Rtas's face was purple.

"Cheetor..." I gasped, "What time is it?"

"7:42." Cheetor crawled to the storage and grabbed some water, that was in a bottle that he had gotten.

"oh, okay." I went to the storage to get my own water. I grabbed my water and drank some of it.

Alias crawled up next to me and looked at me, he was giving me the 'cute eyes'. He looked at the water then back at me.

I tilted my head then looked at Alias. "Fine." I muttered as I passed my water to him. Alias grabbed it and chugged the rest of my water.

Rtas looked at me, "You share food?"

"Yeah, I share stuff with Ali and Cheet all the time. We are technically brothers" I smiled.

"You guys do seem to act like brothers... and Sister." Henry said.

I chuckled, " Henry I remember when you never talked."

"I don't to often," Henry said " I know you guys very well so I am comfortable talking to you."

"Perhaps you should be quiet again, it makes you seem cooler." Cheetor said, " Like Afri."

"Scarface..." Afri growled.

"K, like Scarface." Cheetor mumbled.

"I was thinking that I shouldn't talk much..." Henry yawned, "I just have stuff to say sometimes."

"Yeah, sometimes." I grinned.

Henry smiled.

"I think it's about time we go to sleep, Cheet." Alias said.

"Yeah." I walked to the tent Alias had made. I walked in was amazed. It was a lot bigger then I had expected. I had to crouch but other than that it was pretty big.

Cheetor and Henry walked into the tent. "Whoa." Cheetor said, he was shocked.

"Hey Alias! How long did you work on this tent for?" I asked.

"Five hours, why?" Alias replied.

"Cause you did a great job." I said. I looked at the walls and floor of the tent. Alias had put Animal fur coats on the ground as carpets and he had wrote in Xenomorph and Sangheili where we were supposed to sleep.

I slept next to Cheetor who slept next to the door.

Scarface walked into the tent. "Where do I sleep?" He asked.

"You sleep next to Cheetar." Cheetor replied, "Henry sleeps on the right side of the tent and Rtas sleeps next to him."

I just realized the writing on the wall was red. "Uhh Alias." I called to him, "What did you use to write on the wall?"

"Would you prefer a lie or the truth?" Alias asked.

"Truth." I walked to where I was supposed to sleep.

"Umm... I used Animal blood." Alias sounded like he was amused.

"Gross!" I yelled, "No one touch the walls!" I could hear Alias laughing. I lied down on the fur and fell asleep.

I woke up from a sudden noise outside. I lept up and stared at the entrance of the tent. I walked to the entrance, carefully so I wouldn't wake anyone up. I poked my head out and saw Alias patroling around our little base.

I heard the noise again.

Alias shot his head toward the sound then made a quiet chirping noise and walked toward the forest.

"Alias." I whispered.

Alias turned, "Cheetar? You're awake." He said.

"Yeah." I walked out of the tent and toward him, "That noise woke me up."

Alias and I both heard the noise again.

I walked past the fire and stepped up next to Alias. The noise got a little louder.

Alias screeched. He screeched just loud enough to scare what ever made that noise out of the forest.

We saw a pack of Moa run out of the forest. The Moa looked like ostrich's but with a small tail and a very small beak. The Moa ran past us then past the tent.

Alias turned and looked at me. I looked back at him. In the dark Alias's eyes glowed, his eyes were a bright lime green color.

"You should go back to sleep." Alias said.

"Well I'm awake now so I can't fall back asleep." I chirped.

"Well then you're going to have to stay awake with me." Alias looked at his Super-watch.

"You checking the time?" I asked.

"Yeah." Alias replied. " It's 4:30 Am."

"Well four more hours until everyone wakes up." I said.

"Possibly five or six hours if the others want to sleep in." Alias continued to patrol our little base.

"Actually." I said "Maybe I will go back to sleep."

"Can't Handle night watching?" Alias laughed.

I smiled at him then walked back to the tent. "Good night Alias." I said as I walked into the tent.

"Technically it's good morning." Alias called to me.

I stepped over Cheetor then went to my sleeping spot. I lied down and thought about stuff. After a few moments, I drifted off into sleep.

I woke up to Cheetor's voice.

"Cheetar wake up! wake up! wake up!" Cheetor yelled.

"Go away." I mumbled as I slapped Cheetor away.

"Well you're awake now, so all you gotta do is get up!" he yelled again.

"Shut up!!!" I screamed at him.

"Fine, " Cheetor said " Alias! Cheetar's not getting up!"

"Cheetar get up!" Alias yelled.

"No!" I growled.

"Ok Cheetor, I'll get her up." Alias said.

"I'M UP!" I yelled as I lept up.

"That's right." Cheetor grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the tent. Alias walked up to me with a handful of fruit.

"Breakfast?" I asked.

"Yep." Alias handed the fruit to me.

I shoved the fruit into my mouth. "So, why did you wake me up?" i asked.

"Because it's 11:30 AM." Cheetor said.

"ohh." I looked at Scarface, Henry, and Rtas by the fire. "Good morning boys."

"Good morning." They all said back to me.

I sat down next to Rtas.

"I'm going to go see if the flood are getting closer to our base." Alias said as he ran off.

"Should I go get more food?" Cheetor looked at the forest." We are running out of your delightful fruit."

"yeah." I said, "It's bad if we run out of very awesomely great fruit."

"Wow, you're obsessed with fruit." Cheetor said as he grabbed his DMR, "Well I'm going to go now." Cheetor ran off.'m

"Who wants to train!?" I asked." Cause I'm bored and need something to do."

"I'll train." Rtas said as he stood up.

"I'll train with Af... Scarface." Henry punched Scarface lightly. Scarface growled then punched Henry off of the log.

"Well then, I'm with Rtas." I jumped up and activated both of my energy swords. Rtas chuckled then activated his energy sword.

I lunged at Rtas. He dodged then sliced at me. I dodged and kicked Rtas into a tree. He growled then sliced at me, I wasn't fast enough, his sword grazed my wrist armor. I snarled and bit Rtas's arm.

"Ow!" Rtas yelled. "No biting!"

"Sorry," I said, "It's a really bad habit."

Rtas sighed then attacked. I stuck my fist out and Rtas ran into it. Rtas growled then takled me. WE started to punch, scratch, and kick each other.

"Gone for a couple of minutes and you're already trying to kill each other." Cheetor walked to us.

I looked up at Cheetor then at Rtas. " Rtas training over." I said.

"Okay." Rtas got up and sat on the log again.

I got up and looked at Cheetor. He looked at me, he looked very happy and showed no hint of sadness.

"why you so happy?" I asked.

"Because we may be stranded on a Halo Ring but it's awesome because now we can spend more time with each other." Cheetor said.

"Don't we spend enough time with each other"

"I don't know... maybe."

"I always thought you guys knew each other very well." Rtas said.

"They feel like brothers." I hugged Cheetor, "but not the annoying ones."

"No duh, your brats would never leave Alias and I alone... Well mostly Alias cause he has a tail and... kids love... tails." Cheetor looked at Scarface and Henry who were still fighting, "You guys done killing each other?"

Henry stopped fighting for a couple of seconds, "No, i still want to kill Scarface... well not kill."

"okay have fun ladies." Cheetor laughed.

"Ladies!?" Scarface and Henry yelled.

I had forgotten that the Sangheili didn't like being called a 'lady' because they considered them 'weak' but Human and Sangheili girls were actually pretty strong and they knew that, but they still considered it offensive.

"Get em." Scarface said to Henry.

Cheetor turned, "Teh mos dowls witin." he said in Sangheili. Cheetar turned away and looked at the field next to our base.

Henry and Scarface looked at each other then at Cheetor. "Wort, Wort, Wort!" Henry yelled as he and Scarface jumped up and ran at Cheetor.

"Bagum!" I yelled.

"What!?" Cheetor said as he turned. Henry and Scarface jumped and tackled Cheetor.

Rtas and I looked at each other then at Cheetor, Scarface, and Henry. "and they say I'm immature." I growled playfully.

Cheetor pushed Henry off and laughed, " I love ya guys." he said as he pushed Scarface. They were all laughing. I smiled at them then looked at the fields.

After 4 hours, Alias had returned from his little scout. Alias didn't look happy but he didn't look worried either.

"Good news or bad news?" I asked as I walked to him.

"both." He replied.

"give me the bad news."

"Okay, the bad news is that the flood are getting closer to us and the good news is that we have enough time to find a Seraph, Banshee, Spirit, Phantom, or Drop Ship to get away." Alias looked at the fire that was now dying out.

"Oh, I guess we'll have to send someone to look for one of those then." I said sadly.

"A spirit, Banshee, Phantom, Drop ship, or Seraph?" Alias asked.

"Yeah, when are we going to send someone to go get one?" I said.

"Well, the flood will be here in about two weeks." Alias said, " So we should send someone in about a week."

"And by someone you mean you right?" Cheetor asked.

"Precisely." Alias looked at Rtas, Scarface, and Henry, " If we find a Banshee," Alias looked back at me, "What will we do?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"A banshee is made for one person and there are six of us." Alias replied sadly.

"Well, if we can find three Banshees we'll be fine because you can stand the vacuum of space and you can breath in space," I said "Me and Cheetor have our masks and double the shields so we can hold onto the Banshee wings."

"Yeah, that could work." Cheetor said.

"Or fail." Alias looked at Cheetor, "What time is it, Timekeeper."

"4:55" Cheetor said.

I looked at my small group, smiled, then sat next to Rtas. "I hope we can last a week." I mumbled.

After two slow hours, we were all starting to think that if we didn't make someone go soon we would all die. We all sat by the almost dead fire and thought. No one talked it was like a dessert, no one was there so there was no noise.

I got up off of the log, grabbed some fire wood, and chucked it onto the fire.I was surprised that Alias was quiet, normally he would want to talk. He acted a lot like me because I'm not a social person and I'm very aggressive. Alias was the only thing that was making noise with his heavy breathing.

"How come no one's talkin'?" I asked.

Alias looked up at me, " You're the first person to talk for the past 2 hours."

"I know." I looked at Rtas and Cheetor, "Com' on you two, talk, normally you would never shut up."

"I don't talk that often." Rtas said quietly.

"I talk a lot." Cheetor said, almost cheerful.

I smiled, "at least someone is jumpy with joy."

Everyone went silent for a few minutes.

I yawned, went to the tent, and to my sleeping spot. "Wake me when there's something interesting." I called to them as I lied down. No one replied so i went to sleep.

"Cheetar, Cheetar! Get up! Get up!" Cheetor yelled.

"What?" I asked sleepily.

"It's about Alias." Cheetor sounded afraid.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes, "What about Alias?"

"He's Gone!"

I stared at Cheetor with shock, "What do you mean by gone?"

"When we fell asleep he was outside 'night watching', but when we woke up he wasn't here, not in the forest, tent, or river." Cheetor replied.

I got up and ran out of the tent. "where is Scarface and Henry?" I asked.

"Out looking for Alias." Cheetor said, " If he got takin' by something i don't know if he can last."

"He's a killing machine that can crawl on walls, I think he can last on his own, besides he's bred to survive and kill." I said, "But I prefer that he didn't."

"Good point..." Cheetor looked around, "Scary and Henry should be back soon."

"Where do you think Alias went?" I asked.

"probably to find a banshee or spirit, it's either that or he got taken by something." Cheetor replied.

"Stupid prophets, they go a bit overboard with this god stuff." I growled.

"I know... Hey where's Rtas?"

" Rtasy?" I looked around, "maybe he went looking for Alias or with Alias."

"Neither." Rtas said coming out from the forest. "More like trying to stop Alias."

"Stop him? from what?" Cheetor and I both asked.

"He said he was going to go slow down the flood and get away with a Banshee or something else that flies." Rtas looked at his surroundings the back at us.

"He can get himself killed by the flood if he does that." Cheetor said, worried.

"He'll be fine." I said, "Besides he can't exactly die from anything anyway."

"You sound like you don't care." Cheetor tilted his head and stared at me with suspicion.

"Believe me, I love Alias just as much as you do and I would hate to see him hurt but I do know he can survive on his own." I sighed.

"Oh." Cheetor lowered his head.

"Really, I love Alias and I already miss him." I looked around hoping to see Alias but all I saw was empty fields.

Cheetor looked at the forest, Scarface and Henry ran out of the forest and towards Cheetor. "Report." Cheetor said.

"We found some tracks but they faded and disappeared," Scarface looked at me then back at Cheetor " Alias would be long gone by now if he had left two hours ago."

"I don't think Alias will be back for a while." Henry joined the conversation.

I hope you're okay Ali I thought

(Alias's View)

I ran as fast as I could on all fours, panting.

I ran into the flood, they followed me as I ran away from Cheetar's small base.

For the first time I was actually afraid. I'm Going to die I thought. One side of me said i was going to die, and that I should stop, the other side of me told me to keep going and not stop running for as long as i can.

I jumped over two flood infected marines then head butted another in the stomach.

I didn't stop running, didn't look back, didn't need too.

I growled something in Sangheili then got up on my back legs then stabbed a flood with my tail. With both of my six fingered hands I picked a flood infected marine up by the head then chucked it to the other pile of flood behind me.

I snarled as I went back on all fours and ran again.

Only one sentence ran though my head, "What would we do." It kept on repeating over and over again. I wondered what that meant but I decided to ignore it.

I vaulted over a Covenant portable shield then looked back to see if the flood were close. They were just a couple of meters away. I looked at the path in front of me.

come one, where is a base? I thought. I was getting tired now, but i didn't stop.

I smashed through a pack of flood, screeched, then saw a Covenant base 20 miles away. I smiled as I ran toward the base. Cheetar we're headin' home soon I thought.

(Back to my View)

Scarface and Henry sat around the fire with disappointment of their faces.

I was also disappointed, Alias had always been by my side, kinda like my...

All of a sudden my mind forgot about  Alias ans thought about my family, Truth was most likely going kill or torture them. My disappointment was replaced with, hate, anger, and frustration.

Cheetor looked at me, we were both thinking of the same thing.

"When  we get off this ring," I said " I'm going to kill Truth."

Rtas stared at me with shock, "Why kill him?"

"Because he didn't help us and left us on this ring." I snarled, "Which he should of learned by now that I'll burn this whole world down."

Rtas looked mad, like he wanted to protest about my decision.

I looked into his eyes, " Do you still believe in his lies?" I asked.

"Blasphemy!" Rtas growled, " He only speaks the Truth."

"Rtas, I'm not mad that you believe in that jerk, " I said calmly, " Lets just not talk about him for a while."

Rtas growled then went to the tent.

"Truth is not worth losing a friend over." I mumbled.

Cheetor, Scarface, Henry, and I got tired after a few hours, so we decided to go to sleep. We were afraid that something might attack us because Alias wasn't here night watching. But we had to get over that feeling.

It had been a week since Alias had left, everything seemed to be back firing on us. We were running out of Ammo for our weapons, we barely had enough meat to last two days, and Cheetor was having a hard time finding fruit in the forest, the only thing we had was the river.

"I think Alias is dead." Cheetor said as he tossed a piece of wood on the fire.

"I believe he's still a live." I looked at Scarface who was carving a piece of wood with my energy sword.

"If he was alive he'd be back by now," Cheetor grumbled, "Let's face it, he's not coming back."

"Don't say that!" I snarled, " I know he's alive and coming back to us as we speak."

Cheetor lowered his head and backed away, he knew not to make me mad.

I walked to a log and sat on it. Rtas sat next to me and mumbled something. I looked at Rtas, curious of what he had said.

Rtas looked at me, " When are we getting off this ring?" he asked.

"Once Alias comes back." I replied.

"If he comes back." Rtas then started to mumble something again.

I tilted my head then looked at the camp site. Henry and Scarface sat on a log together, Cheetor sat alone on another log. The fire was in the middle of us.

I was tired of waiting for Alias but I didn't want to go looking for him. I sighed then waddled off into imagination.

(Alias's View)

I had been to 3 bases but i couldn't find anything that flied. I was now heading toward the forth base I had seen. The flood were still following me but it seemed that most of them had stopped.

I'm getting tired of this... literally I thought, i felt more exhausted then ever before. I had merely collapsed twice but i still kept going, I needed to get back to my master.

I looked at the base about 2 miles away. It had  a landing platform so I knew there was something that would fly. Once I get something i will be back with Cheetar in no time I thought

I couldn't wait to get back to them. Joy ran through me as I ran closer and closer to the base.

(Back to my View)

I looked at Cheetor, he was still alone on his log. He looked so lonely that i decided to go and sit next to him. " Why so lonely?" I asked.

Cheetor looked at me and smiled, "You should already know."

I smiled back at him, "Alias."

"Yeah."

I looked at Henry and Scarface, they looked so bored. Henry was yawning and writing in the dirt with a stick he had found. Scarface was still carving a stick with my Energy Sword, the stick looked like a mini wooden Plasma Rifle.

I was thinking of carving something now. I got up and looked for a stick. I found one, picked it up, then sat next to Cheetor. I activated my other Energy Sword and began to carve a mini Grunt. I love Grunts I thought.

Rtas and Henry looked at me then at Scarface. Cheetor looked at us and tilted his head. Henry tilted his head too, he got up and picked up a stick, Henry used his combat knife to carve something. Cheetor and Rtas got up, grabbed a stick, and started to carve it. Rtas used his sword. Cheetor used a rock.

"What are you all carving?" I asked.

"I'm carving a Cheetah." Cheetor said.

"I'm carving a small Energy Sword." Rtas replied.

Henry said he was trying to carve a mini Sangheili Elite.

Two hours went by and we had all finished our Carvings. Out of everyone Afri's was the best.

"Pew." Scarface said as he pretended to shoot his wooden Plasma Rifle.

I smiled at Scarface, "Yer funny."

Scarface smiled back at me, "Of course I'm funny, if I didn't have sense of Humor I would be nothing."

Cheetor was playing with his carved Cheetah, "Now only if we had paint, we could make them more colorful." he said.

"yeah." I chirped, "we need paint."

All of a sudden we heard familiar noises.

I stood up and looked around, "Hear that?" I asked as i activated my energy swords."

Henry raised his cricket bat and combat knife. Cheetor and Scarface dropped their carvings and raised their weapons.Rtas activated his sword and walked next to me.

I looked at the forest, a green flood infected Elite ran at us at top speed. "Thought so." I said as I sliced the Infected Elite in half.

Dozens of infected Humans and Elites ran from the forest.

Cheetor backed up as he shot his DMR. He had very good aim, he shot four infected marines in the head.

Scarface and Henry were using teamwork. Scarface had a long rang weapon so if a flood got close to him while he was shooting, Henry would come and smash the infected form into the ground.

Rtas and I were back to back, killing the flood if they got close.

"heh, Alias was right, the flood did come." Scarface said.

"Not sure if he slowed them down or made them come faster." Henry said.

Now the flood were coming from every direction, running, screaming, and even shooting at us.

Scarface killed 5 more infected Marines. I killed 3 infected Elites and 6 infected marines. "Nine points for me!" I yelled.

"We're keeping score?" Rtas asked.

"Well I am." I sliced another infected Elite, "Ten points!"

"There is most likely over a thousand flood running at us, so you can get a lot of points." Cheetor continued to shoot and back away.

Scarface backed away to us. We were now all in a circle formation, shooting, and slicing.

I saw a big green shot hit a group of flood. The shot killed the group with a small explosion.

I turned and saw a Phantom flying toward us. "Alias!" I yelled as I jumped and waved my arms in the air. Cheetor, Rtas, Scarface, and Henry looked. They started to yell Alias's name and wave their arms in the air.

The Phantom continued to shoot the flood. It stopped right above us and a purple beam hit the ground.

Cheetor quickly grabbed the carvings we had made then ran into the beam which brought him into the Phantom. Everyone else ran into the beam and got lifted as well.

When I got into the Phantom I smiled, Alias was at the weapon console pressing buttons.

"Alias!" I said happily.

He turned and smiled.

Henry ran to a control console and started to fly the Phantom away from the base. It flew into Space, leaving the Halo Ring behind.

I hugged Alias, " Cheetor said that you would be dead."

Alias looked at me then at Cheetor. Cheetor smiled shyly, He looked embarrassed but happy.

Alias looked back at me, "We heading back to The Prophet of Truth's ship?"

"Yep and I'm going to show that jerk a knuckle sandwich." I growled playfully.

"A knuckle sandwich.... really?" Alias said.

"Yeah." I said.

Alias laughed then put in the coordinates to Truths main ship.

I smiled evilly as I thought about Truth and what I was going to do to him.
