Flesh Wounds

Chapter Twelve "It does this"

26 days left

34 Pov
After a few uneventful days we are finally needed for another assignment.

"Alright you all know the drill: Get suited up and get your weapons ready," I say to my team.

This time there is no back up team with us, just us and two Warthogs.

I read over the mission briefing that was given to me, "Lush Woodland Landscape. Covenant Kig-yar sniper squadrons and Ghost Vehicle Patrols."

"Must be guarding something heavy," 5000 says.

"Probably some Forerunner technology," Sandman states.

"Or maybe they are hiding information," Yang adds as a possibility.

"Well what ever it is," I say then pick up and put on my helmet, "We're sent to recover it,"

"Yeah well let's not die today," 5000 says cocking his shotguns and puts them on his back.

"You could say that again," Sparky says.

"I'm hoping we won't have to die ever.." Yang adds quietly.

"Same, same."

"Lower it, lower lower, w-w-wait!"
*Crash*
"Well crap!" 34 commentates on the flipped over Warthog.

We've made it to this planet which goes by the name of 'Kolpairein' which is a very odd name.

"5000! Get over here!" 34 yells at 5000.

5000 goes over to him shrugging.

I look down at my BR33 and I cock it to make sure it'll fire.

Looking back up I can see 5000 easily flipping the Warthog back over and 34 walking over to me.

"Alright. I said I had something for you," He says holding up a small black cylindrical object.

"What is that?" I ask.

"Just hold still," He says going behind me putting the thing on my armor.

When he does my HUD gets a new up grade. Now there is a Spartan T-pose in the top right corner.

"Alright now look at me," He says stepping in front of me.

When I look at him the Armor on the T-pose becomes his and under it shows "100+".

"Alright what does this mean?" I ask more confused.

"Well it shows vitals of nearby Spartan's as well as. Here one second," He says walking towards Sandman "Hey, hey give me your pistol."

"Umm alright?" Sandman says handing it over reluctantly.

34 walks back over to me, "It also can do this," He says then in a swift turn of events he shoots me in the foot once.

"What the hell?!" Yells Sandman who was watching.

"Wh-what?" All I can say is that as I stare at my foot, no pain, no blood, and no nothing, except a bullet hole.

"Just give it a second," He says confidently.

Even though we're wearing armor I can see my foot's bullet wound slowly heal up. "The hell?"

"Hey friendly fire is on by the way!" Yells Sandman from the back ground.

"You see. You thought I was actually going to kill you didn't yah?" 34 says watching me through his visor.

I stand confused as fuck.

"Just some technology I was prototyping," He says turning back around, "Your welcome."

"I don't think 'your welcome' is a very accurate thing to say. After all you just shot him in the foot.." Yang says to 34.

Well this is going to leave a scar

"Agreed," 34 says back shrugging it off.

"I need my tea," is all I say.

Nuke, lot's. Next chapter will have some action, ish.
