Halo: Captured
I woke up to a voice murmuring somewhere off in the distance, but I didn't know where. I couldn't place my finger on that voice, some how I knew it sounded familiar but why? And where was I, I am too afraid to move, to speak, to even open my eye's. Let's see my name.......Riley Spartan 007, well at least I remembered that much. My head, my legs, and arms all ached heck practically my whole entire body ached. I was not sure if I had broken something in....in the.........in the crash now I remember, it all came flooding back. I jolted my self back to reality, pain flooded my body but I pushed it out of my mind as best as I could. I sat on the floor of the Longsword fighter slightly dazed.
" Wallace," I screamed " Are you all right?"
" That's the same thing I've been trying to ask you, but yes I am fine." Replied Wallace in a calm voice Riley's personal AI.
" How are you feeling? Since we crashed you have been out for a quarter of an hour."
If it wasn't for my armor things would have been a whole lot worse.
" We should gather what we can from the fighter and get out of here." I told Wallace.
" I bet you anything our presence has not gone unnoticed by the Covenant, did you send that message to the Pillar of Autumn before we were hit Wallace?" I inquired.
" No Lt. There was too much radio interference that I could not punch through." He said " I am sorry."
" No need for apologies it was not your fault." I put my hand up to silence Wallace's protest.
" We will just have to find them the hard way then, just before we were hit I saw two life boats crash as well not far from here. So let's check there first."
I reached over and ejected Wallace from the fighter's computer terminal, placed his chip onto the slot on my helmet and felt the all to familiar prickly icy cold fill my head then stop. I always hated that feeling. First I made sure my M6D pistol was still strapped to my right leg, checked that it was undamaged satisfied that it was not I then grabbed some ammunition for it. I walked over to a small weapons locker, found that the door was jammed but that was fine. I punched a hole through it and removed the door easily. Check my armor was still functioning properly. I snatched a bunch of protein bars then picked up an MA5B assault rifle that had come lose from it's holding straps. I grabbed some ammo for the AR and left the Longsword. Next I attempted to camouflage my ship as best as I could. Walking on my left leg pained me a bit, but I knew it was nothing serious.
" So Wallace which way do we go?" I asked
" Head this way."
A orange NAV marker appeared on my HUD pointing far off over a ridge, I thought maybe the ridge is over looking the crash site. I started off at a brisk pace towards the ridge. Just before I got there I slowed to walking and carefully inched my way to the edge of the ridge on my stomach. I then instinctively grabbed my M6D pistol and set the scope at 2x zoom, well there in a deep crater was a UNSC life boat still smoking, no sign of human life. Walking round the pod were three Elites, wow only three Elites this almost seems to easy I thought. But hey an opportunity that presents it's self to kill Covenant I'll take it.
I focused first on the closest Elite and pulled the trigger, I nearly emptied a full clip in the beast before the last bullet penetrated his armor draping his body over a rock. The other two hid behind the life boat giving me time to reload. Just as I did a bright blue plasma grenade was streaking my way, I tucked and rolled out of the way when it landed then exploded right where I just was laying. The explosion sent up a cloud of dirt and clods of earth into the air, I rolled to a crouch, I took aim on the blue bastard that threw the grenade and fired five shots knocked his shields down, he growled and side stepped to my left causing my next bullet to strike him in the arm sending a chunk of flesh flying, the Elite howled and grabbed his arm, just as I was about to fire again something hard and heavy struck me in the back sending me to tumble down the ridge. All I could hear blaring in my ears was the alarm for my suits shield, meaning they were draining fast. Finally I bounced off a small boulder cracking it as I hit solid ground.
" Quick Lieutenant get up!" yelled Wallace. My shields began the recharge cycle, I lost the AR. What hit me I wondered as I slowly got to my feet, I still managed to hang on to my pistol. Soon my question was answered as ten Elites uncamoflaged themselves all aiming plasma rifles at me. Oh great I thought just great, privately I opened a com to Wallace and told him not to say a word to them no matter what happens or they might take him. If they did not know I had one then no problem. But one problem was how the heck was I gonna get out of this sticky situation? I put my hands in the air and said,
" Ok I give up, I surrender."
" I am glad you see it our way human filth!" replied the blue Elite I wounded. (Wallace translated)
" We are ordered to capture a human alive oh look what dropped in, Grand Field Master Luetumly wants information from you, from your kind and you will come with us without a struggle." Said the Elite plainly.
" Ok I won't fight you." I replied just as calmly. (right now I didn't stand a chance)
" Good secure the prisoner," barked the Elite to another one on his right, " But first," growled the Elite as he walked up to me. He quickly raised his weapon then smashed it down hard and fast on my left shoulder knocking me to the ground. As I lay coughing tasting iron, he stepped on my hand holding my pistol sending pain shooting up my arm, then with his blue paw he forced it from my hand. He picked it up examined it, then strapped it to his damaged arm. He looked at me and started to laugh as I struggled to stand, my suit must have taken more damage in the crash than I thought, because that hit should not have knocked me to the ground at all. The shield recharged rather slowly than normal. The blue Elite started calling me something nasty but Wallace didn't want to translate, that was alright I told him I already know. Curse the bastard he stole my weapon and almost knocked me out. Mark my words I told my self I will finish the job, I will get him. My wrists were shackled and I was prodded forcefully to a waiting Covenant dropship. I was now headed to the Covenant Battle Cursier Aqula Fields. I hope I can get out of this alive!!!
END FOR NOW
