A Gamer's Journey Through the World of Heroes [Discontinued]

Halo: Combat Evolved 2/9

Hello readers, this first bit of the chapter is going to be dedicated to an Author's note to all of you. This is an important read if you're wondering why this chapter took so long to get out, so you people that are getting into this fic a year or two from now can skip this note altogether.

So, why did I suddenly stop updating this fic? Well, it's a mix of two things.

1. I stopped wanting to play Halo. I don't even know how it happened, I was just in the middle of writing the last chapter (which was originally not an intermission) when my desire to play Halo came to a dead stop.

2. After about 2 weeks of not wanting to play Halo I got a fic idea for RWBY and leaned into that in the hopes of shaking off my sudden Halo dip. That fic kinda took up all the space in my head and I forgot about this fic until someone interacted with it. Thanks for that, by the way.

Anyway, due to the 2+ month absence my writing style might have changed slightly, along with the direction I decide to point this fic. Because of this Ash may start acting a little differently from how she would normally, and I apologize if that does happen.

With all of that being said, enjoy the rest of this fic!

A pelican slowly descends onto the ground in the darkness of night, carrying with it a handful of marines, a spartan, and a mage.

The mage in question was looking over her equipment while the marines got an explanation of the mission plans. Once the pelican landed the Chief was the first to hop out, followed by Ash and the marines shortly after.

"You sure that gun will be good for stealth?" Cortana couldn't help but ask through the spartan's speakers.

"Yeah, the silencer muffles this thing quite well." *Ash replied as she checked one last time to ensure the silencer she had bought from the store was properly equipped onto her rifle.

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Observe~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Absolute silencer

Legendary

The best silencer to ever be made. Warps time and space around the gun to ensure complete silence.

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

'Can I get an F in chat for the $200,000 I spent on this thing?' Ash asked as she internally wept over just how much this thing cost. Sure, buying one wasn't much, but having to buy anymore would suck.

MitsuneHaku: hahahahahaha poor
BendedX: F cost more than my car engine
MeyKai: F
RandomPeon: F
AttorneyCorvo: F

"So, we're gonna recon first?" Ash asked, wanting to get her mind off the sadness of her wallet.

"Indeed." John replied as the two of them went forward, with Ash activating {Stealth} to stay hidden.

The spartan and mage moved to the right, sticking to the high ground and foliage so as to not be spotted easily.

They moved forward, with the spartan keeping a crouched position to easily hide behind the rocks while the mage quickly looked over towards a certain grunt to her left.

'That little bug cost me quite an annoying number of resets during my legendary playthrough.' Ash thought to herself as she quickly scoped in, watching the grunt get into the gunner seat before-

*Click*

With only the sound of the trigger being pulled, the grunt fell off the seat and to the floor. Headless. Ash mentally swiped away the notification she got and moved along.
