Flesh Wounds

Chapter Fourteen "A turn of events"

Music now.
34 Pov (Still)

"Tread carefully human," The Elite says as we circle each other swords drawn.

"You better watch YOURself," I say putting emphasis on 'your'.

In a second I take a lunge and we parry each other for another and the I kick off him and jump back.

02% Charged

I pull a frag out and toss it over my head (Not pulling the pin out) and as I pull out another I yell "Yang!" As I do yell that she jumps off of my shoulders and takes the grenade in mid-air and arms it throwing it at the Elite as I do the same with my grenade.

A loud boom is heard as more gunfire continues in the background. Yang lands gracefully in front of me and the smoke.

08% Charged

Then the Elite jumps from the shadow of the smoke and lunges at her, I jump in front of her and cuts him off slashing his sword out of the way. And in this short amount of time I jab into him barely hurting his shield.

"What the-?" I jump back to Yang, "Go, I'll deal with him."

"I'll watch your back," She replies and pulls out her Beam Rifle she took from the last mission and stands about 10 feet away from my back position.

"Let's do this.."

12% Charged

Ignoring all other warfare in the background me and the Elite stare each other down.

I can't stall, or his shield will start recharging.

"HI-YA!" I make that sound as I swing down wards only to be rejected by his quick sword block.

17% Charged

Duck! Crap, up! I swing upwards and land a hit on his chest damaging his shield a bit.

Then I kick him in the stomach but it has little to no effect and I back away.

24% Charged

I have a augmentation that can predict combat outcomes. As well as show me how well my chance of success with a set load out of equipment I'm using.

I snap back to reality and I pull from my back the Storm Rifle (that only has 11% left) and I walk backwards while lazily aiming and firing at the Elite.

30% Charged

It barely has an effect but I continue till it's out of energy.

Then he rushes me again and I slide right under him. Good thing these things are tall or else that would of not worked.

35% Charge interrupted

As I just start to get up I get thrown off to the side and my shield goes to zero.

The Elite slowly walks over to me with his sword at the ready.

"You human's are so dumb. Believing that the technology is yours. The Covenant are the Reclaime-"

Then a small hissing sound is heard, then-

"OH SHIT!" The Elite gets taken out by a giant red laser and he just face first eats-shit into the ground.

I look over to where the laser came from: Nick is standing there with a smoking Spartan Laser.

"Ugh, Thanks," I say staggering up and slumping over to the obviously dead Elite and I take the last of my Sword's energy and I stab the Elite in the chest.

My sword goes out and I toss it away "Dumb things run on fricken double A's I swear."

"So you good?" Nick says checking the Spartan Laser.

"As long as he's not," I say kicking the Elite in the head.

"Okay yeah. Uh. I have the best idea," Nick says and starts running back into the house-ish thing.

Now I'm standing over the Elite while everyone else is still fighting around me, the Covenant are losing.

I pick up the energy sword the Elite had and I look at the handle, on pick up, two symbols of the Sangheili language indents on it. The sword has, 300% energy?

"Mine."

Nick Pov

'Up the stairs up the stairs!' I think as run to the next floor with this giant laser in my arms. As I finally make it to the top floor there is an obvious hole in the roof.

As I climb through the hole I get a really good view on the top of the Phantom. The laser has 10% left, about to be 0.

*hsssssSSSS*

Then the killer laser takes the whole front of the Phantom off of the front. There's one white Elite is visible through the front as the ship goes down on the battlefield of enemies and probably some of my squad mates.

"Oh CRAP!" I can hear 34's yell over the explosion of the ship. I throw the Spartan Laser to the side and I jump down back into the fire and fight. And deadly lasers of plasma that might kill me. You know, the usual for a Spartan.

I land next to an Jackal that has just caught up with us and away from the dead fire. I leg sweep the Jackal and punch it in the throat.

"Gotcha." I whisper looking up at the wreckage of the ship. Not that big.

A piece of the ship gets thrown across my vision and I look over to see 5000 getting up from the ship.

Then I can see some of the ship get sliced in half and 34 comes in sight.

"No the ship!!" I can hear Sparky and Yang yell at the same time.

Sandman comes flying in his jetpack and he lands on top of a dead Elite, "That was easy." He says.

34 turns to him with a new sword in his hand, "Easy for you to say. You kept off in the back."

Then a rustling Is heard in the background, an Elite staggers up and looks around dumbly.

You have to manually stop the music at this point.

"Uh. Yip-Dap?!" The Elite yells out concerned and looks around.

"Oh don't worry he's right here," Sandman says and walks up to him with his pistol drawn.

"Wait calm dow-!" 34 starts- Then Elite sticks a grenade to Sandman's head and tackles him laying down a fist before-

*Boem!*
