Halo CE: The Pillar of Autumn

"Dot?" Asher calls out.

Auntie Dot's voice coms over the Pelican's speakers. "Front right engine has taken severe damage."

"Can we make it back to the Autumn?" Ruby asks.

"Yes, as long as we don't take much more damage."

Ash blacks out.

Ash snaps awake and groans. Ruby's kneeling over him with an empty stim in her hands.

"Vital's optimal." Auntie Dot informs.

Ruby lets out a sigh of relief as he falls onto her butt. "Don't die on us, Spartan. We went though much trouble to get you back.

"Dot, can you give us something about him?" Asher asks. "We nearly died for him, so we deserve something."

It's silent for a few moments before Auntie Dot is heard. "On July, 24 of this year. Spartan S-142 was transferred to Noble Team as Noble Six."

She goes on to explain Ash's time within Noble Team.

"Then after a week and a half of fighting, Six was once again left alone, to fight a losing battle with the Covenant." Auntie Dot finishes.

The Pelican is silent, Ash's vision starts to darken. Ruby takes off her helmet and sets it beside her. She puts a hand through her black hair with red tips, her silver eyes looking down on Ash. "Sorry, for all you went through to protect our home."

Ash's vision goes dark.

Ash comes to again, he doesn't see Ruby.

"This is Rose Two to Keyes'." Ash says. "We're approaching now and need a medical team immediately."

"Good work Second Lieutenant Rose." Keyes' says over coms. "How bad is it First Lieutenant Rose."

"It's bad, sir." Ruby says as she walks over to Ash. "An energy sword wound to the back and chest and an Energy dagger wound to the left side. Multiple plasma wounds, Sir, I'm surprised he's even alive."

"I've read his file, and as a quote from his file says, 'He's one tough, sonva bitch.' So I'd new he'd still be alive."

Ash blacks out.

Ash coms to and he's being rushed through the halls of the Pillar of Autumn. Keyes' is looking down at Ash as he runs with the stretcher.

"You saved my life, Spartan." Keyes says down to Ash. "Let me return the favor."

Ash blacks out.

.

.

.

Ash coms to and he sees a bright light above him and a rapid and loud beeping.

"He's going into shock!" A female voice yells out. "Stay with me, Spartan, I chose you for a reason."

Ash blacks out.

Ash comes to and he sees a Bright Pink Light above him. A small figure is hovering above him.
