Chapter 3-Death and Confusion

I opened my eyes and saw a rookie marine walking into the middle of the street, It was dark
and only the moonlight was lighting the place.
He walked out into the street, I tried to yell but i couldnt move or talk i just watched.
Soon two more of those lizard things came at him from both sides.
I tried to scream but ended up going unconscience again.
I woke up again to see two of those things lying on the ground
mutulated so bad it looks like whatever killed them had fun in the process.
I got out of the 50 cal seat and saw whoever was in my passanger seat wasnt there anymore.
To my amazement i stood up and walked over to the lizards.
I stood there looking at them amazed how many deep cuts there were in them, A pool of blood surroneded them.
It was disgusting to look. I turned around to see that marine looking straight at me.
"Hey are you alright?" I asked
"Become.....Us........." He muttered back
"What?"
"You mustnt....fight....become us ...."
He started to walk towards me and into the moonlight.
I almost fell to the sight of him. Half his body was mutated and disfigured.
He looked similar too the flood but was diffrent, half his face was visible and human like....but there was nothing human
about what happened to him, Both arms covered by a mutating green spore. His legs were missing certain muscles
and had veins sticking out it was a horrible sight to see.
"Oh my god... What happened?"
"Ive finnaly become them a whole....a god!"
They still talked like a human though....he wasnt a flood but he wasnt human either...
he was like a hybrid.
I quickly moved to my assault rifle and pointed it at him
"You cant kill me.....im a god...."
I shot without thinking knocking him down and hopefully killing him.
What the hell i keept thinking. Finnaly i gathered all the ammo i could from the dead marines
and a shotgun also.
As i started to walk off i saw the marines bodies were mutulated too, Like they tried to fight back
Against something....i had no idea what happened all I knew is that i was alive, just like before at the ring.
I started to gag looking at their bodies mutalated, Beheaded, Limbs Torn off.
I walked off and look back from the warthogs to the lizards....
Finnaly I look where i was heading and just walked.
I heard gunfire from a few feet down but from all the bullets and screams all i could hear was some footsteps...
"BECOME....US!"
I turned around to see him looking straight at me.
He was still alive and walking towards me. I pulled my shotgun and shot untill there was nothing left.
I was breathing hard....I couldnt stand to look at him so i went toward the battle ahead
Waiting for something to happen.....and whatever it was i knew wasnt going to be good.
When i had turned the corner i saw everything, Covenant, Marines and even those things again, all being attack
by those things like what i saw. I just watched as those things destroyed everyone. Ripping them apart
Having fun killing them, I couldnt stand to watch as everyone was gettin torn to peices.
I grabbed my shotgun and hoped there was a god. I ran through the hordes of aliens shooting at anything that got in my
way, I ran up toward the catwalk then something grabbed my leg and tripped me, I turned to see it.
"Oh my fucking god....."
It looked like the sargeant.
"Become Us!!" he screamed
"Ahhh"
I shot him in a furious rage, then i had ran to everyone elses position.
I saw an elite and pointed my gun at him
"Wait stop, There helping us!" A corpral yelled
"What?" I screamed back
"Ill explain later, Hey you got that door opened yet?"
"Almost" A technician yelled
I lowered my gun and aimed for more of the flood.
"Its open!" The technician yelled happily
"Lets go inside!"
All of the Covenant and Humans ran inside and turned to shot untill the door shut
"Hurry its closing" The corpral said as i ran to the door.
I jumped inside as I saw the flood Ripping apart the bodies of helpless marines running to the door
Two privates ran toward the door, as i reached out to help him in a flood forced its arm into his stomach.
"Help....me!"
It tore through him and ripped out everything inside his body.
"NOOOOOOOO" the other marine screamed as his shot aimlessly at the flood.
They tore him into peices litteraly. As the door shut i heard his screams...i was shaking by this time and couldnt think
of anything but that marines screams.
"What the FUCK are those things?!" the corpral said
Apparently i was the only one that knew.
"Flood.....Thier called the flood" I said as i looked at the ground replaying that scene in my head.
"Flood?"
"Ya...."
"They look like fucking mutated humans and covenant."
"There diffrent.."
"What? diffrent!" A private said as he picked me up furiously
"Put him down dammit" the corpral said as he kicked the private.
"Look hes the sole survivor of the aplha ring incident, so he knows.
Hey what do you mean diffrent." Corpral said slowley
"On the ring they were completly disfugured and you couldnt tell who or what they use to be.
Now they have human characteristics, You can see thier much smarter.....and brutal."
"God dammit smarter?!"
"Yeah, They dont just run aimleslly toward you..they use strategies now."
"FUCK!" the private said.
"Whats with the covenant" I said still looking at the ground.
"Apparently we all kno we'll die if we try to fight them without help."
"Oh, i get it." I said
"Now what?"
I looked around seeing a stairway upstairs.
I reached for my radio
"Any Pelicans in the area, Please respond"
"This is Arch-Angel Over"
"We need evac ASAP" I said relieved.
"I saw some shit going on down there whats going on?"
"Flood their back we need evac now!"
"I see your building im landing at the top ill be there soon" She said as she shut off her radio.
"Lets roll" I said
"Upstairs? Youre crazy these things are everywhere." A covenant elite said
"Either there or wait here for them to bust down the door."
He nodded and we all ran upstairs
"Slow down we dont need to be ambushed."
A few marines and grunts looked at me and nodded, Before they looked back they saw my face with terror and then
Hesitatly looked back.
There was at least 50 of those floods standing right in front of them.
"FIRE!" I yelled but to late for them to respond as they were beheaded.
"Shit!"
We started to open fire and run through there ranks trying to get upstairs
I brang up the rear. I saw convenant getting slaughtered and marines getting thrown around.
I ran and picked up wounded marines. When they made it too the door they stopped to provide cover fire the door opened behind them they screamed as they were Torn through and Shot.
"ARGHHH"
A marine screamed as a flood ripped him in half. i saw 3 marines make suicide leaps into the flood with grenads attached to them, Soon the infectious form just Swarmed us like a tidal wave attaching on to anyone and everything.
Marines bodies raised from the dead and fought with their weapons. Shots clipped coveant in the throats and
Soon infectious forms Swarmed over them Tranforming them.
I ran to the door in a full sprint I was knocked out by a whip from another flood
I couldnt move, I just saw infectious forms crowd me...i knew i was dead. I knew the world was over now
The flood invaded earth, Now noone was safe.

"Breciano! What now?"
"Fuck i dont know!"
"God dammit, Weve lost just about everyone!"
"Dont worry just get to the Heli-Pad"
"Theres only like 5 of us man we wont make it"
"Yes we will, Were trained."
"What about covenant?"
"What about them there helping us you idiot!"
"Man i dont know about this"
"Pull it together well make it Now go!"
"Son of a bitch!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"Right Right!"
"Fuck Shoot left now!"
"There swarming us!"
"Theres the pelican gogogo!"
"Cmon dammit"
"Get us out of here!"
"ARGH"
"Fuck!"
"AHHHHHHHH"

I could only imagine what would happen now. . . .
