Halo: Shadow Team (Fixed)

Chapter 9: Explosive Secrets

Inside a command tower, one of the Officers gives a mission briefing to a Spartan cladded in red with a customized CQB helmet, "We have a problem that needs done. There have been reports of Covenant in this area and I need you with a special someone to take care of them." The Spartan stood still and just listen - however, internally they just want to groan and get this over with.

"Now, recent reports showed that the Covenant were in this area nearby the mountains. Get there and destroy them. Failure to do so, well you know the drill."

After that, what presume to be long, mission briefing, the spartan walks down the hall to find this "Special Someone". They already know that the Reapers are found and are inducted back into service. Wouldn't surprise them if the person ended up being one of the Reapers.

Going to the armory, the spartan saw one of the Reapers showing the Marines their combat knife, which is more serrated and tooth-looking than anything else. The Reaper himself have very protective armor, but with chains wrapped around the legs and wrist.

"Really", one of the Marines asked to which the Reaper jokingly replied, "Yep. I just can't believe it. Your knives reminds me of kitchenware." This causes the Reaper and the Marines to chuckle a bit, right before the Spartan came face to face of the Reaper.

"So", The Reaper turned to face the spartan, "You must be Daisy-023, right?" The Spartan replied with a nod, presenting their stoicism infront of the scarred face Reaper. "You better hope you know your distance around bombs", he said to the Spartan as he puts his helmet on, "Or... Boom."

"So these are old humanities super-soldier program", Daisy talk to herself as she figure how large of a gap is between back and now. She just can't believe the attitude this man is showing. This is not how soldiers operate. Let alone a Super-soldier.

"Ey, you alright there", The Reaper ask, to which Daisy immediately stops her thoughts and said, "I'm alright."

"Okay", the Reaper turned around, "let's get movin' then", and proceeded to walk towards a Falcon. Daisy soon follow the Reaper afterwards. Her mind is still not right after her training as a Spartan. Maybe by accompanying him on the mission might prove how powerful emotions can be when used correctly.

After landing nearby the Covenant base, which is a far distance, The Super-soldiers make their journey through the jungle. The thick vegetation might give way to their position and the Covenant is quite fond of their cloaking technology. However, their tech would not be able to surpass something so crucial it would end either way the same way. And that's exactly what happened to a sneaky Elite.

The Elite thought he would gain a trophy of the Demon's head and kill the Reaper afterwards. Unfortunately for the Elite in question, the Reaper is two steps ahead and blow up his head.

Death #40: Elite's head blown up.

Daisy looked back as her partner reloaded his shotgun and flip it. Though it may be short, it does pack quite a punch when adding slug rounds.

After much walking they made it to the base. It seems as though the UNSC tried to brute force it, but it seems minimally futile. The base is in tatters, yet despite all of that, remains strong.

"Looks like we have to clean up their mess", the Reaper commented, taking his marksman rifle and held it in his hands, "Let's finish what the UNSC have started." Then Daisy began following the Reaper as they sneak their way into the base.

The spartan can't help but wonder about the kind of words that Reaper used. She remembered fondly of her time on the Mona Lisa and the prisoners there do say similar wording. Was he used to be a criminal? An escaped convict? Whatever the cases maybe, Daisy must not let her guard down, even in the presence of an ally - a rather dangerous one at that.
