(oh yeah this one is going to ROCK!! Matrix style stunts, nice suprise, plenty of it!!!! Ive got it all planned out!!! ENJOY!!) (from Raptros-v75 viewpoint)
We had been captured by the Covenant..... So? Many humans get captured these days. But this was different. The leader looked like me, the same bizarre mutation, except FEMALE!!!!!
I later found out her name: Aeliseis-v75
I woke up in a cell with a wall of energy. I tried to break it, but it didn't work. I tried again and again, and finally collapsed in exhaustion. I woke up, with several gaurds coming in to bring me too a torture chamber for questioning. I didn't reveal the location of Reach, I didn't know it. I was thrown back inside. As I was thrown in, I swore at and threatened the captain, the same one who had caught me, and she turned and mocked me. This happened, the same way for weeks on end, day in, day out, the same routine. As I slept, an insane plan started forming, one that could save me and the marines in nearby cells. It would take advantage of Aeliseis-v75's haughtiness.
One day, as they were coming to lead me off, I threatened her, just before they led me away. I said: "I could kill you any day. Just give me a needler, and come in to my cell."
She replied "After your session. How many minutes head start?" She sneered.
"Ten minutes preparation, and ten seconds head start!!" I said, and then cackled insanely. She must have thought I had lost my mind, because after the session, she said: "Here, still as brave as before?"
Again, I laughed insanely.
As soon as it was clear, I began to work. I took out a plasma pistol, and combined it with the needler. I made it so that all the rounds, and the entire battery, would be used in one shot. I inserted a special homing device to attract the energy to the generator for the prison. I then finished setting up the bed. I then waited
She came back in, and I was ready. I had ten seconds in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 GO!
I jumped on to my bed, which broke off, and started spinning off, right into her face. Time seemed to slow as my senses sharpened. I slammed into the bed, jumped over it, and waited for it to slam me into the back wall. I fired right into a small ventilation hole 1020 nanometers wide. The shot streamed in, and went right to the generator. I fell slowly, along with the bed, and then kicked as hard as I could, smashing her right into the wall. Then I moved fast. I grabbed her unconscious body, ran into the place where all my equipment was held, put my kit on, pulled out my flamethrower, waited for the marines to get weapons, and then started looking for an exit. And ran into a Brute. I grabbed my heavy weapon, fired, and it died. I then pulled out my sniper, killed the hunters at each end of the hall, switched to my assault, killed the Grunts, Jackals and Elites, and kept on running. Until I entered a strange room, which, for some strange reason, the Marines couldn't enter.
Then I saw the prophet. He looked at me and spoke.
"I see you have met Aeliseis-v75. Maybe she will learn that I was right. I told her that someone would defeat her. I also told her that humans are not actually evil, and that the other prophets were wrong in calling humans 'scum', and calling a purge of humanity."
I didn't say anything, but looked around.
He continued "I can now tell her the whole truth, if you put her down."
I put her down gently, and waited for her to wake up.
When she did, the Prophet, Anisal 'Tathronottsa continued "The reason that humans are hunted is because of a mistake. One prophet was told by the gods to beware a race which would spread throughout the galaxy, if it wasn't stopped. The other Prophets, when we discovered humanity, thought that was what they meant. Then the flood came, and I realized the truth, and I am held captive here."
Aeliseis replied "I understand now. However, humans alone will not be enough to destroy the flood. Fortunately, the covenants in this base are loyal to me. We must begin the engine of creation."
I said, quite simply: "WORT?"
They explained that the engine of creation could build huge ships quickly.
As we exited, I explained to the men the current situation. They followed my command. The Covenant soldiers obeyed also. We got to work.
The ship would be quite simple. It would have a long center, and then two wings starting at the back, with a downward curve, and outward sticking prongs. It would be huge. It's tactics would to be: stop the flood carrier ship, get it into the cage made by the wings, and then fire an intense pulse of energy, which would vaporize the ship.
We were soon off this planet, and we were ready to go bring more covenants onto our side. We tested the new design out, and destroyed many flood ships, and we soon developed a type of tactic to defeat the flood space-spore. This was basically a cruiser sized cucumber thing that bended and twisted, shooting spore missiles out, which, if they hit the ship, and broke through the hull, would send a small force of flood infection and fighting forms into the ship. We soon fixed this by making the hull much thicker, and making disinfection waves that would vaporize any flood spores that hit the surface of the ship.
Aeliseis-v75 and I were very good friends by now, and we were the captains of the ship. We were now getting many more covenant soldiers on our side (humans were almost automatically on our side), and we were now on our way to a world completely taken over by the Flood. And, we were ready.
(yes, Raptros-v75 and Aeliseis-v75 fall in love. And if your wondering why my author name is Raptros-v75, I named the character after a username I made in a forum)
