--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pelican which carries Fireteam Osiris as well as Halsey shoots towards a enormous human starship, the UNSC Infinity. The Pelican zooms past to dock inside the spacecraft
Roland (COM): "Fireteam Osiris, you are clear to land in docking bay 11."
Inside the Infinity, the Pelican flies over an enormous hangar filled with other Pelicans, moving pads, and a few Mantises walking by. As the Pelican lands, two figures approach the spacecraft. One of these people was none other then Tom Lasky, Captain of the Infinity, and Sarah Palmer, commanding officer of the Spartans-IVs of Infinity. The Pelican's rear door opens, allowing Fireteam Osiris to exit with Dr. Catherine Halsey. She hurriedly walks up to Lasky.
Halsey: "Captain Lasky, I sent you my position three weeks ago! I told you this was happening!"
Lasky: "We'll discuss that in private, Doctor. Palmer."
He then gestures to Palmer, who grabs Halsey's arm and pulls her away.
Halsey: "What has she done? How far has it already gone?"
Lasky: "Good work, Osiris."
The three of them walk away, while Buck and Locke watch them.
Buck: "What do you think that's about?"
Locke doesn't answer. He stares ahead impassively, unconcerned about the matter.
Another Pelican can be seen flying in another corner of the galaxy. Sitting in the the pilot seat is (Y/N) (L/N) also known as Noble Six who is currently looking at his helmet face to face. He then rotates it and prepares to put it on before pausing to look at the AI data crystal chip port in the back of his helmet. He mournfully slides his thumb over the port. The Pelican however is currently flying towards an abandoned ship which is drifting in an asteroid belt, the Argent Moon.
Along with (Y/N) (L/N), there are four more people in the Pelican's troop bay preparing their gear. These people are Jane-117 also known as Master Chief, Thelya 'Vadamee also known as The Arbiter, Catherine-B320 or Kat also known as Noble Two, Linda-058, and Kelly-087.
Catherine-B320: "I haven't seen Six press himself like this since we were in Noble Team."
Kelly-087: "He's fine, Kat...Hopefully"
Kelly then passes a DMR to Kat.
Thelya 'Vadamee: "This many missions non-stop isn't fine."
(Y/N) puts on his helmet and activates a COM link to the Amber Clad.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Noble Six to the Amber Clad, Blue Team has located Argent Moon. Signs of hostile activity but she's still here."
Miranda Keyes (COM): "Copy that Noble Six, eliminate all hostiles, secure Argent Moon, you may deploy when ready."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Affirmative Ma'am, Six out."
(Y/N) cuts the feed and slows the Pelican down. He enters the Pelican's troop bay and proceeds to join up with the rest of Blue team.
Master Chief: "Here you go."
Chief proceeds to pass (Y/N) an MA5D assault rifle.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Thanks, Chief. Everyone ready?"
Linda-058: "Affirmative."
Linda opens the Pelican's exit ramp. (Y/N) starts to walk towards the rear of the Pelican when Kat stops him.
Catherine-B320: "You good? You know if you have any problems you can come to us, your team about it."
(Y/N) just nods. He then walks to the back of the Pelican.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Blue Team. Fall out."
Blue Team all activates their thrusters and jump out of the Pelican. They manoeuvre through a cluster of asteroids and head towards Argent Moon.
Inside Argent Moon however a group of Sangheli soldiers are inside a room. A Sangheli Storm walks up to his Commander.
Sangheili Storm: "The Unggoy are resisting."
Sangheili Commander: (growls) "Throw the Unggoy out the airlock!"
Blue Team all approaches the large window that leads to the room with the Sangheili. As they get close (Y/N) opens fires to weaken the window and they all shatter the glass on impact. Entering the room, they use their thrusters to slow themselves down and land in front of the Sangheili Commander.
The Sangheili all activate their energy swords and charge towards Blue Team but are blown out into space. The team activates the magnet systems in their boots which keep them attached to the floor. The Sangheili Commander lunges at the with his sword but they dodge the attack and the Sangheili is blown out into space. The window's closes and Blue Team prepares to move.
BLUE TEAM
System (PA): "Hull breach contained. Re-pressurization of affected area completed."
Theyla 'Vadamee: "What do we know about Argent Moon?"
Linda: "ONI research station. Went dark nineteen months ago. Last week, Kig-Yar scavengers found it, and sold the find to Jul 'Mdama's people."
(Y/N) (L/N): "We clear the Covenant and return this station to ONI."
Kelly: "Fastest route to retrieval is to seize Central Control. Eliminate hostiles between here and there, then deactivate gravity and life support systems."
Catherine: "Ship data centre is just ahead. We can pull down Argent Moon's schematics there."
The team left the land site. They pass a catwalk overlooking an enormous assembly bay, where an unknown ship is docked.
Master Chief: "Impressive. Looks like they were designing a new stealth class vessel."
Kelly: "They lost years of expensive R&D with this station."
There are dead bodies around the area, skeletons in ONI uniforms. (Y/N) crouches down and examines one of the bodies.
Linda: "What do we know about the experiments they were doing here?"
(Y/N) (L/N): "We don't. And we don't ask."
Master Chief: "But I'd keep your helmet on tight just the same."
(Y/N) didn't say anything as he got up from his crouched position and proceeded forwards with the rest of his team behind him.
Catherine: "So this station was just drifting? For two years?"
Linda: "Apparently."
Thelya 'Vadamee: "How's an asset this big go missing for that long?"
Linda: "Its location was not consistent with expected drift patterns."
Catherine: "Meaning?"
Linda: "Someone didn't want it to be found and sent it in a direction no one would expect."
(Y/N) looked back to the rest of his team. Once they noticed it caused that to halt in their tracks.
(Y/N) (L/N): "We better move toward the data centre, Blue Team."
The team then proceeds to open a door, to a room where two manage computer terminals.
Unggoy 1: "Why do we have to do downloading? So boring! Uh! It takes forever!"
Unggoy 2: "Wish we were breaking glass. I like breaking glass."
Thelya 'Vadamee: "Hostile contact."
(Y/N) tried to sneak behind a Unggoy however he accidently kicked a metal pipe alerting his presence. The Unggoy noticed the noise as it turned around to see (Y/N) behind him with a knife out ready to strike. They both just stared at one another until the Unggoy realised what is happening.
Unggoy: "Humans! How did humans find us?"
In panic (Y/N) threw the knife directly into the Unggoy head as it fell to the ground dead. More Unggoy started to approach with their weapons ready. The Unggoy saw their dead college and in response they all pointed their weapons towards Blue Team. The enemy started to open firing on the team as they all dived to the side getting behind cover as well as quickly equipping their weapons.
Master Chief: "Talk about being stealthy."
(Y/N) (L/N): "This is much more fun anyways then being stealthy." He said as he whipped around from his cover and firing his assault rifle towards a Unggoy enemy, filling it with bullets as it falls onto the fall. The rest of the team join (Y/N) killing the rest of the Unggoy enemy as their bodies now lay dead on the ground.
Blue Team then heads forwards but they must have been unlucky because they encountered more Covenant in the room past them. Of course the Covenant underestimated the team as they kill them all and head to the next room, where a map terminal awaits.
Catherine: "Data centre is just ahead. Let's go."
Linda: "We've got a complete set of dataset keys for this station. We should be able to pull down Argent Moon's schematics and find a path to Central Control."
(Y/N) heads towards the data terminal and activates it. A hologram of the Argent Moon appears above it.
PA: "Dataset entry accepted."
Theyla 'Vadamee: "Accessed the databanks."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Grab the data and current population map."
Master Chief: "Should be a straight shot to Central Control through the assembly bay ahead. There are still Prowlers in the hangar bays... Nobody from ONI got out of here alive, did they?"
Linda: "No."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Let's go."
The team heads deeper into the ship as they found an elevator leading down to the assembly bay. A ship with torn plating can be seen out its window.
Thelya 'Vadamee: "Elevator here. We Need to get this elevator moving. Find the controls."
Blue team enters the elevator as Linda pressed the button causing the elevator to descend down to the lower levels
Catherine: "Central Control's straight across this bay."
Linda: "Everything's ripped up."
Kelly: "They must be stripping that experimental ship for parts."
Master Chief: "Scavengers. Taking what supplies they can find. The Covenant's war against the Leader must not be going well."
Linda: "Jul 'Mdama is a lot of things, but he's no Prophet."
(Y/N) looks towards Thelya to see her looking down. He then placed a hand on her shoulder as she looked up towards him.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Their war has nothing to do with you. Everyone knows which side you are on."
She looked towards the rest of Blue team as they all nodded their head with agreement. She then turns towards (Y/N) with a smile on her face.
Thelya 'Vadamee: "Thank you."
(Y/N) then removed his hand off of her shoulder as he turned back.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Besides their is only one Arbiter in my book."
This comment made Thelya cheeks turn slightly red. She looked towards the rest of the girls to see them looking towards her and (Y/N) with jealous looks. Before anything could happen the elevator opens to a platform, where Covenant troops pass below. A shed door blocks the entrance to their site.
Catherine: "Most direct route to the shipyard is through the wall ahead."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Let's charge through."
(Y/N) charges through the door, smashing it and falling to the assembly bay below, which turns out to be full of Covenant.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Crap."
Thelya 'Vadamee: "Contact."
The rest of Blue team join (Y/N) as he stood up, down in the assembly bay below, as the Covenant turned to ready their weapons towards the team. The Covenant forces which oppose Blue team was Jackals, Grunts, and Elites, including a Zealot. A Grunt however grabbed a plasma grenade ready to throw it towards the team but this didn't go unnoticed as a bullet flew into the grenade causing it to explode taking out the Grunt as well as a huge number of convent forces. The team as well as the remaining Covenant looked towards the shooting to see smoke emanating from Linda's sniper.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Now that's what I call sharp shooting."
Kelly: "Damn right."
The rest of the team turned back to the remaining Covenant who was still paralysed from the event that happened, as the team aimed their weapons and gunned them down. The team then continued on their journey and came to a platform looking a larger bay ahead. Near the stairs are weapons cases.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Hydra launcher."
The team then leaps into the arena, engaging numerous Ranger troops.
Kelly: "Push through this resistance and reach Central Control!"
The team engaged in battle with the Ranger troops. They put up a fight but being the soldiers they are Blue team was victories as the bodies of the troops laid dead on the floor covered with bullet holes.
Master Chief: "Nobody's left standing. Let's move on to Central Control."
Kelly: "The Covenant seem particularly disorganized lately."
Thelya 'Vadamee: "They're falling apart."
Linda: "Finally."
Catherine: "Would be strange, wouldn't it? Not to be fighting them? After all these years."
Kelly: "I wouldn't miss it."
Linda: "Central Control is beyond this bay. Let's go."
(Y/N) leads the team to a catwalk leading to a nearby open room.
Linda: "Signage here for Central Control. Through those doors."
A stack of crates go flying as a Mgalekgolo bursts out from a wall. The impact causes the walkway to shake and tilt.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Hunter!"
The Hunter slams its shield arm into the walkway, breaking it and sending the Spartans plummeting down.
(Y/N) lands at the bottom of a dark rocky cave. Unharmed, he raises his assault rifle in prep for threats. Seeing nothing, he slowly lowers it.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Blue Team, report. ...Noble Six to Blue Team, report. ...Noble Six. Does anyone copy?"
Cortana: "Noble..."
(Y/N) turns at the sound of a faint familiar voice. Behind him is a small blue light, coming from some rocks a few yards away. He begins to walk to the light cautiously, a low hum heard from it. It appears to be a data chip, glowing brightly in the dark. (Y/N) kneels to pick it up, and it vanishes. The humming stops.
Cortana: "(Y/N)."
(Y/N) looks to his right. There's more light coming from further in the cave. He decided to follow it to its source, which brought him to a cliff. A dark chasm is before him, with smoky clouds in the sky. (Y/n) looks down the chasm, as small rocks fall. He cannot see the bottom; the clouds obscure his view.
Cortana: "Noble."
(Y/N) looks up. At the other side of the chasm, he sees a rocky peak framed by a bright moon. A silhouette of a woman can be seen walking up the rocks.
Cortana: "The Domain is open. Meridian is next."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Cortana?"
Cortana: "(Y/N)! The Reclamation is about to begin!"
Cortana raises her arms, and a rumble is heard coming from deep beneath the chasm. (Y/N) steps back as the rumble turns into a roar, and an enormous construct rises out of the abyss. It creates a dust cloud, blotting out the moon. (Y/N) raises his assault rifle at the gigantic creature. The construct continues to rise, sprouting titanic spiked wings. He suddenly feels faint, and collapses.
Kelly: "Noble? What's wrong?"
(Y/N) comes to. He's on his knees, back on the Argent Moon. His teammates are with him standing guard. (Y/N) with a hand from Kelly, gets back on his feet.
(Y/N) (L/N): "She's on Meridian."
Kelly: "Who?"
(Y/N) (L/N): "Cortana."
THAT FAIR AND WARLIKE FORM
The team are now in a dark room, full of crates and exit tunnels.
Master Chief: "That's not possible."
Linda: "You said she was gone."
(Y/N) (L/N): "I watched her die. We have a mission to focus on. We can talk about this later. Lights on."
The team all activated their flashlights on their weapons and helmets.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Kat, get us back on course for Central Control."
Catherine: "Bringing up schematics. There's an elevator we can use, but access is four levels down."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Mark a path."
The team all proceeded to go into the tunnels, where they encounter Unggoy guards.
Kelly: "Hostile contact."
The team exits the tunnels and find a room full of sleeping Unggoy. When the Grunts are killed sneakly and silently, the opposite door opens, letting in more Grunts and two Elites who are cloaked.
Linda: "Elites. Active camouflage."
Sangheili: "Kill the Demon and his allies! They must not interfere!"
(Y/N) equips his grappling hook, shooting it towards an Elites. The hook flies onto the Elite, causing (Y/N) to launch towards the Elite. Equipping his knife, once (Y/N) was close his drove his knife into the Elite killing it. The other Elite aimed his weapon towards him but was dealt with by the rest of Blue team. (Y/N) got up to turn around to see that all of the Grunts have been dealt with as well.
(Y/N) (L/N): "This area's clear. Lets move."
Catherine: "We've reached level two. Keep moving down."
Kelly: "Noble. What did Cortana say to you?"
(Y/N) (L/N): "Not enough. Something about Meridian."
Master Chief: "Meridian's a backwater. If she's active, what's she doing so far out on the frontier?"
Blue Team then leaves the room and enters another tunnel. As they go further down, they encounter suicide Grunts. Deeper still, their tunnel shakes. A Mgalekgolo is dimly visible through a window, smacking it and cracking the glass, also knocking a large crate over.
Thelya 'Vadamee: "Hunters. They're keeping pace with us."
The other Hunter dents another window with an arm then its head.
Catherine: "We've got a lot of ground left to cover. We should keep moving down."
A suicide Grunt rushes at them, wielding lit grenades. After the suicide Grunt is a pair of Jackals and another suicide Grunt.
Grunt: "Big ones gonna get you. Big ones gonna get you."
They pass a level lower and reach a room where Unggoy and Kig-Yar are chatting. After killing them, the opposite door opens, letting in a cloaked Sangheili Zealot.
Zealot: "Fight for the glory of 'Mdama!"
Master Chief: "Zealot with an energy sword!"
(Y/N) charged towards the Zealot activating his energy sword clashing with the enemy. The both struggled with one another until (Y/N) manages to knock the Zealot back. With a swing from the energy sword (Y/N) slices the Zealot head clean off as the body fell onto the floor.
After deactivating the sword, the team exit through the tunnel the Zealot came from. As they approach the door, it shakes from the Hunters following them.
Linda: "Reached level three. One more level down to the elevator for Central Control."
Kelly: "Covenant battlenet just lit up. And I think I know why. Covenant ships exiting slipspace."
Blue Team then enters the room, and sees numerous Hekar Taa-plattern blockade runners coming out of slipspace portals. Phantoms then fly past with them.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Covenant ships exiting slipspace."
Catherine: "We're outnumbered here, Six. A few thousand to one."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Surrendering Argent Moon is not an option."
Linda: "Neither is fighting half the Covenant in close quarters."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Then forget about reaching Central Control. The plan changes to asset denial. We the Argent Moon."
Blue Team then enters an armoury with many available weapons.
Kelly: "Ship's reactor core is near here."
Master Chief: "Same plan as the Perpetual Devotion?"
(Y/N) (L/N): "We overload the reactor and evac. Ship explodes, destroying any ships nearby."
Catherine: "The reactor is below the lab just ahead. We can use air ducts to travel between them. Marking the access panel."
(Y/N) opens the access panel and puts in the password. Its door opens, revealing an elevator.
PA: "Green Five clearance accepted. Authorizing entry."
Blue Team proceeds to enter the elevator, which starts traveling down.
Kelly: "There's chatter about Jul 'Mdama on Covenant comms. The new arrivals say he's dead."
Catherine: "Somebody cut the head off the Covenant. Bravo."
Kat then turned to look towards Thelya who is looking towards her.
Catherine: "No offence of course."
Thelya 'Vadamee: "None taken, we are apart of the same team anyways."
As the elevator approaches the bottom, a few alien worms crawl down its windows. At the bottom, they slither into armoured shells below, which form into two massive hulking beasts.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Hunters..."
Master Chief: "They're strong, but slow. Use the lab equipment to keep above them and out of their reach."
The Hunter closest to them roars and slams its arms in the elevator windows, cracking it. The doors open and Blue Team battles the Hunters. Blue team got ontop of the lab equipment just like Chief suggested to do. They all used explosive to damage the armour plating of the Hunters. Some successively did some damage causing some cracks to appear on the Hunters armour.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Aim for the cracks in their armour."
Blue team concentrated their fire on the cracks causing them to increase in size and eventually shatter. The Hunters cried out in pain as the bullets flew into them. After the tough fight, the Hunters went down.
Master Chief: "Hunters finally down."
Catherine: "The reactor core is just below us. Let's go."
The Spartans approach a tube over their waypoint.
Kelly: "Schematics show a path to the reactor through here."
(Y/N) swings his rifle and breaks the lock on it, and the cap lifts up to reveal a hole leading to further below.
PA: "Venting system released."
The team land in the air vents, with no Covenant in sight.
Catherine: "Reactor room is just ahead. We can light this fuse and bolt."
Linda: "No salvage for the Covenant."
Kelly: "Right. Let's go."
(Y/N) breaks through a shutter door, arriving at the reactor room. Many Elites and Jackals patrol the room.
Jackal 1: "What is happening? Why has the fleet come?"
Jackal 2: "Jul 'Mdama is dead! Regroup! Attack Sanghelios!"
Linda: "Reactor controls are on the far side of the room."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Eliminate the Covenant forces and get to those controls."
The team engages into battle for control of the reactor room, eventually clearing the Covenant.
Linda: "Still seeing hostiles. Clear them out so we can initiate the overload."
The team fired onto any stragglers as the died with the rest of their allies
Kelly: "Area's clear. Initiate the overload."
Catherine: "Controls for the reactor will be nearby."
(Y/N) Inputs the password into the control panel. A wave of energy bursts off the reactor, and electrical sparks surround it.
PA: "Reactor failsafe disarmed. Failure imminent."
Master Chief: "Got it. Reactor's overloading."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Move for the hangar bay-"
PA: "Containment protocol initiated."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Containment?"
Thelya 'Vadamee: "The station's going to try to cool the reactor."
Kelly: "I guess the UNSC has better reactor safety protocol than the Covenant."
(Y/N) (L/N): "We can stop that. Board the reactor."
Kelly: "Board the reactor?"
(Y/N) (L/N): "If it's being moved, we should go with it."
The team all climb on top of the reactor, which descends down a tunnel leading to the coolant site.
PA: "Coolant chamber readied. Stand clear of deployment bay."
Catherine: "The safety systems are set to pump coolant to the reactor."
Linda: "This whole plan fails if that coolant gets a chance to work."
Kelly: "Shame to lose the Argent Moon, but I'd love to see the look on the Covenant's faces when she goes supernova."
The reactor reaches the bottom and enters its cooling chamber. Blue Team arrives at an enormous facility, open to vacuum where Banshees fly about.
(Y/N) (L/N): "How do we stop it?"
Catherine: "There are sheds located on either side of the cooling chamber. Those are our targets."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Reach the control sheds. Get the cooling system offline."
(Y/N) then breaks into a shed and finds a control switch.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Override controls."
PA: "Warning: security shutters disengaged."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Override activated."
PA: "Warning. Cooling system shutters exposed to open space."
Catherine: "Perfect. Coolant inner system workings are exposed."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Eliminate the targets, Blue Team."
Kelly: "Grab Banshees. We can target the pipes more easily from the air."
Thelya 'Vadamee: "The armada's been alerted to our presence. Reinforcements inbound. They're sending Phantoms."
The team all jumps into an Banshee after kicking its previous pilots out, and ascends into the air proceeding to shoot and breaks a coolant pipe, which explodes.
PA: "Coolant system damaged. Pressure falling."
Linda: "It's working! Keep firing!"
The team manages destroy all the coolant pipes in the area.
PA: "Coolant system failing. Reactor core temperature rising. Evacuation advised."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Blue Team, evac now."
Master Chief: "Banshees aren't fast enough to get clear of the reactor explosion."
Kelly: "Calling in the Pelican. No signal on autopilot retrieval. Armada must've taken it out."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Kat, find the nearest hangar bay. We're taking a Prowler."
The team flies their Banshees through the shield door and exit to go back into the station. (Y/N) spots a docked Prowler through the windows.
(Y/N) (L/N): "There's the hangar entrance."
Master Chief: "Prowler's just inside through an airlock."
Blue Team arrives at the door to the hangar, which slowly opens.
PA: "Reactor core temperature has exceeded 1373 Kelvin. Failure imminent. Immediate evacuation advised."
Thelya 'Vadamee: "There's the Prowler."
Kelly: "But the hangar's full of Covenant."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Clear 'em out and prep for launch."
Catherine: "Do it quick. I'd rather not be here when the station melts around us."
The team engages the numerous Covenant infantry inside the hangar.
Linda: "Marking the Prowler's control panel."
(Y/N) then presses the launch control switch, activating the vehicle.
PA: "Vehicle launch preparation. Fuel cells at zero percent. Initiating refueling."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Hold off the Covenant while we prep for launch."
Many more Covenant fall in from the roof, mainly Grunts, Jackal Rangers, and a Hunter pair.
Linda: "More Hunters!"
The team then engages within a battle with the swarming Covenant.
PA: "Reactor containment failure. Immediate evacuation advised."
Both Catherine and (Y/N) charge in to take care of the hunter pair as the rest of the team provided backup support and made sure that the other Covenant was kept off them. They both ran towards their respected targets as (Y/N) took the one of the right, while Catherine took the one on the left.
The hunter on the right charged towards its opponent (Y/N) as he equips his energy sword. As the hunter swigged his arm down (Y/N) jumps over it slashing the chest of the Hunter as it shouted in pain and staggered back. The hunter however was not down not yet anyways. It charged again, but this time it tries to punch (Y/N) but he used his grappling hook to dodge the attack. Just then (Y/N) head snaps to the sound of Kelly shouting towards him.
Kelly: "You may need this."
Kelly then throw a weapon towards (Y/N) who catches it pointing it towards the Hunter as it stops dead in its tracks.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Say hello to my little friend."
The hunter was staring at (Y/N) while he held a rocket launcher towards his opponent. With one pull of a trigger a rocket shot out of the launcher and towards it target, the Hunter. In the matter of seconds a loud BOOM erupted in the room as the Hunter fell dead onto the floor. (Y/N) then turned to see Kat struggling with her Hunter. He then moved positions( now aiming his launcher towards the other hunter.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Kat move."
Catherine turned towards (Y/N) as she saw what was aiming towards her as she dived out of the way.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Eat this you son of a bitch."
Once again a loud BOOM echoed throughout the room.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Merry Christmas you filthy animal."
Thelya then turned towards (Y/N).
Thelya 'Vadamee: "But its not December?"
(Y/N) looked back towards Thelya as she stared at him with a confused look.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Nevermind."
(Y/N) then threw the launcher onto the ground as he swiped his hands together in a job well done. He then joined the rest of his team with handling the rest of the enemy forces.
PA: "Prowler fuel cells at 25 percent."
The Spartans take down most of the enemies, but more Grunts and then Elites arrive in the hangar.
PA: "Prowler fuel cells at 50 percent."
Kelly: "Covenant reinforcements inbound!"
Blue team dodged and weaved around the Covenant as they continued their on coming assault. Kelly shot her shotgun towards them as the force from the gun knocked some of them dead. Linda stayed back behind the others and used her sniper to shoot long ranged attacks towards the enemy. Catherine, Thelya, Chief, and (Y/N) used their assault rifles to take out some of the enemy close up and personal.
PA: "Prowler fuel cells at 75 percent."
The team kept on shooting their weapons towards the Covenant enemy, as they kept dropping dead while they were being filled with bullet holes.
PA: "Prowler fuel cells at 100 percent. Launch is primed."
Linda: "Prowler is ready."
(Y/N) (L/N): Board now, Blue Team.
PA: "Cascade failure. Fires on all decks."
The Spartans get to the boarding point. Linda then surveys the area with her sniper rifle.
Linda: "Clear."
(Y/N) then walks toward a terminal with a dead Unggoy on it.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Time, Linda?"
Linda: "89 seconds."
(Y/N) pushes the dead Grunt off and hits the "Launch" button on the screen. The floor rises to lift them into the Prowler. Fire suddenly bursted through hallway. (Y/N) sees it and activates his comm.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Noble Six to Infinity. Argent Moon scuttled. I've reassigned Blue Team, destination Meridian. Potential contact from Cortana."
Infinity Comms: "Negative, Six. Another team is already being prepped to deal with her."
Master Chief turns to face Six, confused.
Master Chief: "What the hell...?"
Infinity Comms: "You're to return to Infinity immediately."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Negative, Infinity."
(Y/N) presses a button to open the Prowler's bay door.
(Y/N) (L/N): "I don't like it."
The Prowler's bay door opens. Kelly walks aboard up its ramp.
Kelly: "Whoever they are, let's get to Meridian before they do."
(Y/N) (L/N): "Kelly. No."
Linda steps on as well.
Linda: "No need to do this by yourself, Six."
(Y/N) looks up, a little exasperatedly. More explosions burst in the room. The hangar then starts to fall apart.
Catherine enters the Prowler, patting (Y/N) on the arm as she passes.
Catherine: "They won't court-martial all of us, right?"
(Y/N) looks back and sighs. He then proceeded to join the rest of his team in the ship. Arriving inside, he presses a button to close its bay door. (Y/N) watches as it close. The security latches come off and the Prowler rises in the air. At full height it aims down a long runaway. Its engines charge and then blast, propelling it through and out of the exploding starship. The Prowler flies out of the sinking Argent Moon, away from the expanding fireball, past exploding Covenant ships, through an asteroid field, and then vanishes as its cloaking activates.
(Y/N) (L/N): "Kat."
