(Jordan's POV)

As me and Reyes walked towards admiral Raines office we heard crash noises and bullets being shot." What hell is that?" I don't know but I ain't staying to find out. Les move towards admiral Raines office."

We started to run but we heard the noises grow closer and closer until I seen a bullet just miss my ear and that's when I looked back and I seen Spartans getting closer and closer.

We soon made it to a door and we found the armoury," suit up Jordan, let's kill these sons of bitches."

I got my suit on and lifted a Mauler and a R3K and put on my mask and attached my energy sword to my side from Arbiter."Ready?" Ready!"

We broke the door down to see..... NOTHING.
"Were did they go?" I don't know but we need to move towards Raines office." Ok let's move but first." I pulled out a small speaker and started playing Unlimited by JT Machinima." What are you doing?" In case they are hiding, we can lour them out then kill them."

I pressed play and I started sing to it,

[Intro]
Infinity, infinity, I'll be settin' my limit to infinity
Infinity, infinity, I'll be settin' my limit to infinity

[Verse 1]
When it came to expectations, we were runnin' low
The stars are where we're aimin so that's where we're gonna go
Don't got a problem stayin' frosty, cause I love the cold
I heard that winter was coming, it's time to shovel snow
My heart's frozen over, but my rage is inflamin'
Nothing left but rubble from this inhumane mutilation
So I don't care anymore if war is a danger I'm facin'
Hey Salen, this ain't the planet to be stakin' your claim in
You don't wanna settle a debt with a weathered veteran
Who's days of campaignin' are far from done
Your blood is all I'll take as repayment
Subtract gravity and your fate will be hangin'
This station is your grave
Hope your family made the arragements
No one hears you scream, that's why space is my haven
Raised in a sprawlin' metropolis, now I crave isolation
Fuck complacence, won't win any space races with patience
At this pace, we can take a law of nature and break it
Ridin' ultraviolet radiation waves in my spaceship
I'll have you splashin' in my antimatter wake if you chase it
All of this hatred and anger, it ain't safe to contain it
That's the reason I'm to blame for the craters made in Uranus
I'm derailing hate trains, I can't take their complainin'
I'll shock'em with grenades, leave you body danglin' in stasis
Hold your breath, you may wanna save it
Cause I don't need zero G's for your disdain to be weightless

[Chorus]
Fire up the turbines, put a little kick in it
Didn't wanna start this fight, but I'll finish it
I don't want survivors, none of them are innocent
It's my time to fly, the sky's the limit
When you read a bold headline, I'll be livin' it
Everything I sacrifice is significant
Travel at the speed of light, I'm unlimited
With no end in sight, this ride's infinite

[Verse 2]
You got a chokehold on the solar system
Go on and find your own, you won't be takin' over this one
Nothing comes before the mission, that's some soldier wisdom
I'm sick of takin' prisoners, I think I'm owed some victims
Forget the Geneva Convention, wasn't that merely suggestion?
Clearly your abhorrent moral compass needs some direction
You oughtta get smacked, I'll stop this fuckin' martian attack
They brought the action to us, we'll send it rocketin' back
Right after blastin' through the stratosphere
Rattlin' your atmosphere
Why you on the battlefield, can't you see the battle's here?
Ha!
Call me Kirk, now that I'm actin' captain here
I'm sending Retribution to these savages and racketeers
Settlement Defense? That's just a Front
I'll have to fuck up any bastards who are backin'em up!
I'll hack into your database so I can see what's up
You better pray that I find you, before my Seeker does
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You want our resources as if you need more
I'll hit you harder than blunt trauma from G-force
Without remorse, breakin' your jaw
And by the end, you'll be a name on a wall
But death is not a disgrace, it's divinity
Only reason I came, to bring misery
Shotgun, pistol, grenade is a fit trinity
When you're ready to slay, forget sympathy
Here we don't got a problem with iniquity
Disappointing your missiles are just missin' me
You're in my shadow while I got the sun kissin' me
I'll be setting my limit to infinity

[Bridge]
Reach for the stars
You never know, might catch one
We've come this far
It's not far enough
Flee the heavens
Destroy Eden
Fallen angels
Become demons
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Infinity, Infinity, I'll be settin' my limits to infinity!

As the song finished I heard a noise from behind and when I turned around there was nothing but I could hear footsteps," SOLDIERS!!" I scream and turned around and knocked out who was there." Oh shit." I looked down to see Admiral Raines lying knocked out.

"Nice one, you just killed your commanding officer. Better hope he doesn't know you knocked him out when he wakes up." QUICK! Help me drag him to his office." Uggghhhhhhh fine, but you owe me Jordan." Fine. Just help me."

I heard footsteps again and I Thurber around but nothing was there. I stopped and let go of Raines arms and pulled out my retractable shield and seen three heat signatures but I didn't make it noticeable I just retracted it and walked back to Raines and lifted him and put him in the chair.

(Cierra's POV)

I stopped my team when the man pulled out a shield but was relieved that he didn't see us. I gave some hand signals to tell Bucky to go to the left and me in the middle and Dina to the right and we deactivated our camouflage and burst the door down, but they weren't there I heard a noise behind me and seen Dina collapse and she had a energy sword through her chest and the man dropped her and ran out and now we were in pursuit.

I shouted after them," STOP!!" They kept running so me and Bucky opened fire and the men ran around a corner and the two man slowed down and turned around, they were stuck in a dead end. The man on the right took off his mask and looked over the side. Then the other male took off his mask to reveal," JORDAN!?!" I'm sorry." And with that they jumped off the side and I looked down to see him get in a ship and zoom back to his ship.

(Jordan's POV)

Who was that? How did it know my name?" Hey! HEY!! JORDAN!" Wah?" Are you ok?" Yeah I'm fine."

We got back to Retribution and when Ethan came over to get me out he looked down." CAPTAIN!!" What is it Eth- get him out of there and to the med bay."

I looked down and blood was pouring out of the open wound then I blacked out.

(???? POV)

I got up off the med bay bed and ripped off the wires and needles off my arms and walked out of the room. The nurses looked at me and made me go back to my room. I lifted a suit and put it on and found a knife.

A nurse walked in and I stabbed her in the skull and walked out. I cleaned my knife and walked towards a Jackal." Sir?" I kept walking and got in a Jackal and took off towards Mars.

Time to finish what I started.
YOUR A MAD MAN!!
SHUT UP!

I jumped through the rift and there it was, the Venasee's weapon......
