"Oh shit!" I yelled as a rocket flew past my cover.
I peek back over opening fire with my rifle killing some of the rebels including the one with the rocket launcher before going back into cover due to sniper fire.
"Four take him out" our Captain yelled as she gets pin down behind a column because of machine gun fire.
"Copy that" four said as she snipes the machine gun operators and rebel snipers.
I move up taking the stairs on my left killing three rebels before I turn right making dash to a position that overlook the prowler but rebels started to fall back in.
Four was about to be flank by the rebels but I shot a munitions crate which took out their squad.
That's when the rebels had reinforcements come in through the side doors.
Without hesitation I pull the trigger for my underbarrel grenade launcher at one of the doors as it opened killing the squad that was behind it, however the that didn't stop as more rebels began to push in.
I reloaded my underbarrel and fire again and repeated allowing my squad to get some breathing room and fall back through the door.
But the rebels spotted me and opened fire at my position.
"Oi come get me you bastards!" I yell as I aim my rifle at the stairs as they try to push me but I kept firing till my mag went dry.
"Shit" I said as I toss my rifle knocking down the rebel that desided to push me but then I heard the engines of the prowler activate so I toss a grenade down the stairs before I ran and jump of the edge of the railing and roll into ship just as the door close with my pistol raised.
However I was shot in head knocking me down, I was lucky that the bullet didn't penetrate my helmet.
"Did we get him"
"I think so"
"No" I answered as I shot them both and began to get up.
"Argh!, my bloodliy legs!" I said as I felt bullets rip through them.
I tried to reach for my gun but it was kick away and the rebel applying pressure on my hand as he step on it.
"Well, well, well, if it ain't UNSC best of the best well second to the best" the rebel said with glee.
"If ain't the most useless fuckwits of the galaxy" I said with a smile.
In response he kick my head which was strong enough to make me roll on my back and shot me in the palm of my left hand before repeating shooting me.
After he stop I began to cough out blood onto my visor blocking my vision.
"You really should've kept your mouth shut, it would've been quick" he snarled as he punch my visor in causing its shards to cut my face.
"Enough Captain, corporal put some cuffs on him and send him to the medics after your done, throw him in a cell" a voice stated in cold tone.
12 Hours Later
I was tied in a chair surrounded by four guards, strip of my armour and weapons.
Then the leader I presume enters with the energy sword I nick from the elite.
"Hmph taking trophy's from corpses now, not surprising of your kind" she stated.
"We got the idea from you" I stated.
"Now you are going tell me everything you know about the Spartans and other secrets" she stated as she cut my cheek with a knife.
"No"
"I was tortured for weeks, during that time I manage to escape and sabotage the ship severely it's was only an amount of time either oni send blows me up with the ship or by God gace rescue me, I'm hoping for the latter"
"(Coughing) why are you a rebel?" I ask to the guard that was staring at me.
"Why do you care scum?" He snapped back.
"Cause you been staring at me with your finger on your trigger so you must have a reason to hate me" I answered.
"Remember reach"
"Yep and let me guess you are one of the pro insurrectionist on that village" I stated.
"No I was here, but my sister you could've arrested here but instead you executed her and got away with it" he stated.
"Well what's more perebable me giving her a quick death or being burnt to ash as the entire planet is being glass, imagine surviving in a wasteland they're would be no good except roasted corpses, no water but her own piss & she will be constantly struggle till she dies from starvation, dehydration or eaten by brutes or jackals who found her after" I said staring down his eyes.
"Heh you know my father was once a strong supporter of your cause once, I wasn't born then but my other brothers were, you bastards killed our mothers each time you tried to assassinate him"
"You have no right talk about loss!" He yelled at me before smacking me in the head with his rifle.
"Heh, haha, everyone, everyone has the right to talk about loss hell you all started this war when you openly bomb military & civilians target's what even funny is that you were mere inches of getting independence abd you fuck it up"
The rebel began to repeatedly beat me down with his rifle eventually breaking his stock which cause him to stop.
As my head drop he pull it back up but he flinch as I was smiling, a bloodily & bruised smile at that.
"Here's a punchline sunshine, when you left all your homes, the covenant began to glass them but you still insist on fighting us, what is your plan the covenant want the extinction of the human race and yet here are your kind fighting against us, tell me what victory do you hope to achieve they already wiped most of the outer colonies and they're moving the inner ones wiping out everything in their path & you insects just keep fighting us win a war with no meaning, your homes are gone, you are fighting and when the covenant wipes out unsc and then sees your insignificant force they will wipe you out too!" I shouted at the rebel who just looks at me stun.
But vision becomes blurry and I began to cough out more blood before I eventually start to vomit it out before my vision fades to darkness.
