An Elite walked out of the ship, and Hitomi immediately pointed her Battle Rifles at him, and was about to pull the triggers when the Elite fell forward, with bullet-holes in his stomach. Hitomi watched as a Spartan walked out of the ship. The Spartan walked up to Hitomi, and took her helmet off. "Claire?"

"Long time no see sis," Claire replied.

"It has been a long time...4 years?" Hitomi asked.

"Something around that," Claire answered.

"Where have you been for the last 4 years?" Hitomi asked.

"Well, I was left on Versa II and a Covenant Carrier came and landed on Versa II. I went to see why the Covenant came back to Versa II, and they were looking for Methane for the Grunts. Since all the Grunts and Jackals were working, I took the chance to try and steal the Covenant Carrier. I boarded the Carrier without being detected, but I was seen by a Grunt, and he started squealing. So, I fought my way into the Control Room, and then I noticed that I could eject compartments. I ejected every compartment that I could, and the ship detected life on Versa III, so I decided to check it out. And here we are now," Claire explained.

"Well...you're not as useless as I thought you were," Hitomi joked.

"How's Phil doing?" Claire asked.

"Um...he's dead. A Plasma Grenade latched on to him," Hitomi said as she wept silently.

"Oh...I'm sorry," Claire said.

"Well, it's the past now...can't do anything about it," Hitomi said.

"Shall we go back to the base?" Claire asked.

"Sure. I'll radio for some Engineers to come and inspect the ship and stuff," Hitomi said.

Hitomi took Claire inside, and they were immediately ushered to the armory. There was a sleek looking Pink suit. Claire looked at Hitomi, and she started taking apart her armor. The Engineers assembled the suit on Kelly, and she was all complete. "You two look like Barbies!" General Carter said as he walked into the room.

"Sir!" Claire and Hitomi said in unison.

"At ease soldier," General Carter said.

"I've got a mission for you. Come to my office in 10 minutes," General Carter continued.

"Yes Sir!" Claire and Hitomi said in unison.

Hitomi showed Claire around the base, and then they went to General Carter's office. His Secretary showed them in, and when they got inside, General Carter said, "Take a seat,"

Hitomi and Claire did as they were told, and they took a seat. "Okay. Your mission is to infiltrate a Covenant base. It is the most heavily guarded base, with a battalion of Covenant Armor, and two battalions of Covenant Infantry. You'll have three Battalions under your control. You're Pelican is scheduled to leave at 1530. You are dismissed," General Carter Explained.

Hitomi and Claire made their way to the armory, where they began gathering their weapons. Hitomi grabbed her normal weapons arsenal, two SMG's, two Battle Rifles, a Shotgun, her two Titanium-B Swords, and 8 Fragmentation Grenades. Claire, on the other hand, grabbed two Shotguns, two SMG's, a Battle Rifle, and 10 Fragmentation Grenades. They also had a HAVOK Tactical Nuke that they could use if they needed to. The three Battalions of Marines, Hitomi and Claire boarded their assigned Pelicans, and they began to lift off into space. When they were trying to land, 3 out of 10 of the Pelicans were shot down. They started with 500 Marines, and now they were down to 350 Marines. Hitomi still thought that they could make it through alive, but her hopes were almost crushed when Plasma Grenades started going off all around them. They were caught in a trap. The Marines tried to fight back, but most of them were vaporized before they got a chance to fire.

Only 50 of the Marines made it out alive. They got to a safe place, and Claire said, "All right. We're going to split into 6 groups. There will be 5 groups. Hitomi and I will be our own group. The groups will be codenamed, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot. Sergeant Johnson will be leader of Bravo, Sergeant Erickson will be leader of Charlie, and leader of Delta will be First Lieutenant Thompson, leader of Echo will be Sergeant Matthews, and leader of Foxtrot will be First Class Private Peterson. Any Questions?"

"No Ma'am!" All the Marines replied in unison.

The 6 Teams set out, and before they even got near the Covenant Infantry, Hitomi had lost contact with Delta and Foxtrot teams. Right before they met the Covenant Infantry, Echo team was obliterated by Invisible Elites. They remaining two teams, Charlie and Bravo met up with Hitomi and Claire. They formulated a plan, which was to try and eliminate all the Elites first. There were 10 Snipers out of the 20 Marines, and 5 Marines that held Rocket Launchers. The Snipers would target the Elites, while the Marines that held Rocket Launchers would target large groups of Covenant, and the remaining Marines would throw their Grenades into group of Covenant. "3...2...1...Fire!"

10 Elites fell dead, and Covenant flying around. This pleased Claire. "CHARGE!"

The 5 Marines and two Spartans charged at the Covenant Infantry, while the Snipers still tried to pick off Elites and the Marines with Rocket Launchers were trying their best not to kill any of their team-mates. They had the upper hand, and the Covenant's numbers were falling drastically. Claire and Hitomi thought that the Marines could hold themselves, and they went inside the building. When they got inside, almost each of the rooms were filled with sleeping Brutes. But the Control room was just guarded by two Golden Elites, and two Hunters. Hitomi tossed Claire a sword, and they each engaged each of the Golden Elites in a sword fight. Hitomi caught sight of a Hunter charging his Fuel Rod Cannon, and she immediately unclipped her SMG's and unloaded a whole clip into the Elite, and then cart wheeled out of the way.

The Elite didn't see the Fuel Rod Blast coming, and he was vaporized. Claire was doing fine, as she was making the Elite look like a fool. She used her speed to her advantage, and she be-headed the Elite. They then went to work on the Hunters. They knew that Hunters weren't accurate with their shots, and they knew that Hunters had a weak spot. Claire jumped over one of the Hunters, and unloaded half a clip from her Battle Rifles in the Hunter, and it fell. Dead. Hitomi, on the other hand, decided to have some fun. She rammed a Grenade up the Hunters Fuel Rod Gun, and primed another Grenade, and shoved it in the Hunter's back. There was a massive explosion, and not much of the Hunter was left.

Claire then ran over to the Control Panel, and slipped the AI that was given to her in a slot. The AI downloaded all the data, and then it activated the self-destruct sequence. Claire pulled the AI out, and Hitomi primed the HAVOK Tactical Nuke, and then ran outside as fast as they could. When they got outside, there was a Pelican waiting there for them. Hitomi counted 6 Marines. She thought that it was a very large lost, but the Covenant had an even large loss. Claire now had the AI that knew every single thing about the Covenant. They were flown back to Versa III, and the AI was given to an engineer, and they were de-briefed. They were given some time to rest, and they took it. They both fell asleep, and they were awakened by the General Carter yelling over the intercom, "Unidentified Flying Aircraft coming in! All personnel to their Stations!"

Hitomi and Claire got dressed, and they ran outside. The aircraft landed, and the door opened. Out came 343 Guilty Spark, a whole army of Sentinels, and the Master Chief. He was dressed in his MJOLNIR Armor. He walked over to Hitomi and said, "I'm not fighting anymore. I've retired. I've come back to help you. But not to help you fight. Now you must take me to the person that's in charge. I've got something really important to tell him,"
