Wither Away (Book One Of The Trilogy) Proudly 326th in adventure

Chapter 13: Our Iner Demons

(Cierra's POV)

As we walked through the hanger bay of INFINITE people were cheering and clapping us." Congrats Oryis but there's no time to celebrate we found a strange rift in the space line and the covanent seem to be the ones causing it, so grab on tight it's gonna be one hell of a ride."

As he said that we made our way to the Pelican and grabbed on tight," what do you thing we will find on the other side commander?" I don't know but it's not going to be good."

We heard a voice over the load speakers," Commencing jump in 3....2....1." Bucky was being a wise ass and saying he didn't need to hang on and I watched as he went flying through the air and out of the Pelican," SSHHHIIIITTTTTTT!ughhh!"

Then I heard a massive CRACK!! And seen Bucky grabbing his arm,"I think I broke my arm." We all just laughed at it," no seriously, I've broke my bloody arm." Go help him up Dina."

Forgot to mention, Cierra is a spartan like Master Chief.

(Reyes's POV)

I heard a knock on my door and Ethan came in," Sir you might want to see this." What is it Ethan?" Permission to speak freely sir?" Granted." It's some serious shit out there sir."

I got up and walked to the bridge to see a massive ship in front of use and in big letters it said I.N.F.I.N.I.T.E." Ethan, get us the hell out of here."

I watched as the rift pilons lifted up and seen the energy go through them," Going for rift jump in 3....2.....1....GO!!"

I was nearly thrown off my feet by the force of the jump." Sir multiple incursions." Keep her steady." We have a breech in the hanger." Get it sealed up." Primary engine is damaged." Get ready to drop in 5....4.....3..." CAPTAIN!!" What is it Salt?" We have a ship closing in fast." But that's impossible, no one can catch up in slip space." Well somehow these bastards are." Drop." What?" Drop.... NOW!" We will be ripped to shreds. We can't leave mid jump sir." The Retribution is strong." Here goes nothing."

We dropped out mid warp and ended up spinning out of control towards an unknown planet. The G-force from the spin pinned all of us against the sides.

"WE NEED TO STABALIZE HER!!" WHAT DO YOU THINK IM TRYING TO DO!!" I've got this captain." I realised Ethan still had a boost rig, he boosted and grabbed the controls and stop us before we got pulled into the planets atmosphere." Good work Ethan." I said as I patted his back.

"Oh FOR GOD SAKE!!!"

I looked to see what Slater was annoyed about and the ship that was following us was right I front of us." How did they do that?" I don't know Ethan but I think it's time to jump back to earth." Sir, the rift core is extremely damaged but I can temporarily fix it so we can jump to earth." We'll have to stall them till you fix it." How?" I don't have a plan so I might just wing it."

I heard the captain's pager go off and I walked over to the screen and answered the call," This is captain Laskey of INFINITE, state your name and business." My name is captain Nick Reyes of the Retribution." Well captain Reyes, you are under arrest for running from a federal ship." No, your under arrest for chasing a federal ship. This can work two ways, one you let us go and we leave and never see you again or two we blow you out of the sky. Your choice." You underestimate the power of our ship, we could shoot you down with a single shot." CAPTAIN!" We'll, I give up, you win. I'll get on a Jackal and fly over."

I slid my card to Salt so she can activate the rift jump." Captain, your ship is moving." Well the thing is the hanger bay is under the bridge so I need to take off so I need to turn cause it's hard to turn a Jackal. Ohhh almost forgot, I need to tell you something." Jumping in 3...." Kiss." 2...." My." 1......" Ass." Go."

I was tossed towards the ground and I got up." Well said captain, but you forgot another thing, we can catch you in slip space."

I felt the ship being thrown off balance." We are coming out in 3.....2....1....."

We came out of the rift and gunned it towards earth, I hung up the pager and called Raines.

"What is it captain I'm busy." We(huff huff) we have an advanced ship(cough wheeze cough) on our tail and he can catch us in the rift(huff)." We need you to land on Geneva and await further instructions." Ok sir,( huff wheeze huff) captain out."

(Jordan's POV)

"AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I shoot straight up and stood up fast and looked around and there was needles, wires and blood in me. I rip the leafs out of my arm and grab my suit and walk to the bathroom.

I got dressed and walked out of the med bay and straight to the hanger bay and down to the core to see Ethan working on the engine's core." Hey." I said waving," Thank god your up, I need that wrench there and that blow torch." Here." I said handing him them." What happened?"

(1 hour later after he explained everything)

"Holy shit, I missed all the good stuff agin. Well I'm gonna get some water and some fresh air." Ok J, see you around. GLAD YOUR AWAKE!!" Thanks Ethan!"

I walked up the stairs and went out of the hanger bay to see Reyes, Nora, Griff and Gator standing talking. They all look at me and smile," Your awake." Spoke Reyes," yeah and I herd I missed all the good stuff again. Where's that green dude and Bethany?" Bethany and the covanent went to Admeral Raines office to get recruited and Master Chief is checking the perimeter." Where's Raines office?" Follow me."

(Cierra's POV)

I walked to the bridge and up to Laskey." What's the matter?" I need you and your Spartans to commit and act of treason. You need to drop down to the surface and take out ten weapons." We are on it."

I walked out and down to Oryis and debriefed them on the mission. We got in out drop pods and was shot towards the planets surface and then the pod turned into a screen and I seen bullets fly passed me.

One of the shots hit the pod to the left of me and I watched as my friend, Mike, perished. Rage filled me up and as soon as we landed I put on my helmet and started blowing shit up.

(Derp's POV)

"Is this going to take long." Patience Max, I'm almost done." I don't know why you want this guy back." Cause Jimmy needs a hosts body to be here." How are we even supposed to get him." Easy we fined Ghost's weakness and we squeeze."

I walked away from the table which had a corpse of a friend close to someone.

Can anyone guess who it is?
