Halo :next generation

Faith

"I love you."
The water caved in.
All 10 assassins came at us.
But I trust her.
I..... Have faith in her.
She Buries her face into my chest and I hold her close to me.
Shielding her from the assassins.
As the water just touches my head and the assassins weapon is only an inch from her head I hear a scream.
"Nnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooo!!!" The voice was a screech that became many voices. I saw sparks come from the kid her suit and hair rapidly changing color. Then I hear a boom and all I could see was white.

Moments later: Spirits POV
I screamed no.
I was scared.
I was mad.
I was confused.
But.....
I felt safe.
In the last few days I haven't felt that. I only felt hate, anger, sadness.
But not love, not happy and not safe.
He is the enemy. Isn't he?
Then why call me his own... Child.
As if we were family.

I haven't opened my eyes. I don't want to open them and see the horror of this war. I don't want to see my friends hurt. I don't want to not understand.

I just want to be safe. I want this moment to last for as long as it can.
I feel the Chief stop hugging me his hands now on my shoulders.
I don't look up.
He removes one hand from my shoulder then places it on the side of my face.
I don't fight him. I let him have his way. I haven't felt this in a long time.
My head is lifted. I look into his eyes that are identical to my own. Then I start to cry. Only a bit and Chief simply wipes it away with his thumb.
"I'm sorry." I finally say. "I don't know what happened. I.... I.... Just I..."
He gave me a caring fatherly smile. I was at a loss for words.
"It's ok kid. It's ok." He assured me. He saw how confused and scared I was." Calm down. If your heart beats to fast you'll hurt yourself." He says placing his hand on my chest feeling my very high heartbeat.
I take a deep breath and do as he says. Chief looks around to see where I sent us." Where are we?" He asks me.
"Somewhere safe." I answer him.
"Kid we have to go back." He tells me.
I don't say anything. I only look down and see his shattered golden visor.
I pick it up and with a wave of my hand the helmet is restored.
"May I?" I ask.
He bends down and I place the helmet on his head. Then I make a portal that leads to the lake his allies are at.
As he walks towards the portal I turn around not wanting him to leave but knowing I can't stop him.
I hear his armored shoes walk away then stop. I assume he is gone.

"Are you coming?" He asks. I turn around.
Why is he still here?!
"No... I can't." I lie.
"Why not? You know the truth. So why go back to them!" He demands.
"I don't have a choice! She can shut me down whenever she likes! She can shut us all down!" I yell.
Chief stays quiet.
"It's like a big chessboard Chief. And right now she has me in a Check. So I need to make my next move a smart one before all my opinions are gone." I finish then I turn around again not wanting him to see me cry.
I feel a strong hand on my shoulder." I won't let that happen. We can fix this.... Please." He begs.
My next move has to be a smart move. Going with him is not a smart move. But he entrusted his life to me.
Now it's my turn to have some faith.
"Ok... I'll go." I say. We walk to the portal together.
I hesitate to go through. To afraid of what will happen when I reach the other side. But he takes my hand and I feel it again.
But this time I'm not confused or angry.
I feel happy.
I feel love.
I feel safe.
And for once my head is clear.
I'm no longer caught in the grey.
I know my enemies.
I know my friends.
I know my target.
I am not afraid.

During this time with the others
Kelly's POV
He's been down for too long. What happened to him?
Just then a portal appears!
"Watch it!" I hear Locke call out.
We all draw our weapons and wait a few seconds until a figure begins to take form. "Steady!" Locke commands.
Unit and Whisp had there guns trained on the portal. Fred was hesitating. It could be the chief. Or it could be something else. The figure fell through the portal.
"Chief! " I called out running to his side. He looked beaten. But why? What could have happened down there.
"Kid!!!" He yells pushing me aside as he shoot up. Once on his feet he ran towards the portal. Only for another figure to be thrown into him knocking them both to the ground.
"Uuuuhhhh...." We hear two voices in sink as they groan.
"Spirit!!!" Unit yells lowering his gun.
The girl lays on top of Chief as she slowly looks up to see her fellow comrades.
"Unit don't even start right now." She grumbles in pain.
"Get... Off... Me..." We hear another groan and she realizes that she was on Chief.
"Sorry." She wines. Getting off him. Then a flash grenade is thrown out of the portal and goes off.
I can't see anything... Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my leg." Aaaaahh." I scream as my body acknowledges the pain.
"Uh!!!" I hear Fred fall.
"Hey?!" Lina.
