Immortal Warheads [Discontinued]

Chapter 12

    The next morning the Spartans woke up. They stretched as Alex looked around "Hey guys, Aloe isn't here." The other two looked over to her bed before they stood up heading to the door looking around stumbling on top of each other. "Oh shit, oh fuck, don't tell me she went to go kill Arbiter." Joseph tried scrambling over the other two. "She's just outside, don't panic boys." Dr. Larson said as she walked in past them. "Maybe you three should try comforting her, if any of you somehow have enough brain capacity to do that." The three Spartans slowly stood up and shoved each other to make some space between them. They all slowly walked outside, Aloe sparring with a few Elites, each of them struggling to keep up with her as they all tried attacking her at once. When the other Spartans walked up she knocked back all the Elites huffing as she stood above them only wearing her armor while her helmet rested on a rock not too far. "Hey commander, you doing good?" Shepard said first as Aloe slowly looked over to them. "Yeah, fine." She motioned to one of the Elites to get back up, it did as it began attacking her again. "You sure, I mean, yesterday you were ready to kill a man." Joseph said before Shepard shook his head before Alex slid in. "Anyway! We just wanted to come check on you, I'm guessing the doctor already talked to you." Aloe continued sparring as the Spartans watched her rather awkwardly. "I guess, we should just go get ready for the mission boys, let the Colonel train." Shepard patted their backs to get them moving. Aloe slowly looked back as she pinned down the Elite before sighing and letting him go going over to grab her helmet.
    As the other Spartans loaded up their weapons Aloe slowly walked up fixing her helmet. "I. Hope you three are ready, this is the last mission here." Aloe told them as she walked past them. "Is it me or did she sound drier than usual?" Alex said putting his sniper on his back. "Yeah, she is, for sure." Joseph said before he took a step back so the Phantom could close the doors and take off. As the Phantom flew over the battlefield Aloe stood rather distant from her team, as the doors to the ship opened she slightly looked back. "You three will hang in the back lines, help reinforce their bases so they can continue holding the line. I'll go on ahead to help push back whatever Covenant is still out there." The Spartans simply nodded before they all walked forward and past Aloe to jump out. When they landed they saw a few Covenant attacking a base. They charged forward, Shepard jumping over a few boxes using his SMGs to shoot up a few Elites, Alex staying where he landed to snipe out a few Jackals that were hiding in the back of the group, Joseph clearing out any of the Covenant that was trying to retreat. When they finally finished clearing them out the Spartans grouped up. "Well, we finished here. Hope Aloe is doing fine." Shepard said as he was tossing a grenade up and down in his hand. "I'm sure she's more than fine, have you seen her, I'm more than positive she will tear through everything. Especially now that she's absolutely pissed." Alex said loading up his sniper again. "Well lets get some high ground to keep this place covered. We can talk about this when we get set up." Joseph said before he turned around to head up a hill as the other followed him up.

    As the Covenant army was trying to advance they continued getting blasted back. A few of the Swords of Sanghelios were holding the front line but in front of them was a lone soldier fighting off Elite and Hunter alike. Aloe was seething with rage, anything that came close to her ended up on the ground, dead or broken. Each incoming grenade was thrown back by the Watcher that was on her back. "If I could I would kill the Arbiter myself. I can't though, and that makes me even more pissed." She spoke to herself as she stabbed her blade through the stomach of an Elite. "So, I'll kill every other fucking Elite that decides to cross me!" She spat as she turned around shooting a hunter in the head with her Scattershot. "And every other piece of fucking filth that does the same!" As the numbers of enemies around her began to dwindle her comms came on and Dr. Larson's voice came over. "Aloe, I know this is a bad time but, I must talked to you." Aloe slowly backed up shooting at the oncoming enemies. "What is it that you need Doctor, I told you already, once we get off this rock we can forget this ever happened. Just leave me to this please." She could hear Larson sigh "Alright Colonel, but please note that the rest of us do want to help when we can." "Of course, just, now. Is not the time." Aloe turned off her comms before finally backing up into the line of Elites shooting at the last of the Covenant. "Perhaps I did over react just a little."

Soon the battle crawled to a stop. Aloe had dusted herself off and headed towards a phantom. She was beamed up into it as she slowly sat down letting her head lean back onto the wall. Soon the rest of her team was beamed up into the Phantom as well, they noticed Aloe sitting against the wall before slowly going up to her. "Hey commander you good?" Jospeh sat beside her before she nodded slightly. "Just tired, but nice to see you boys are safe." Shepard crossed his arms and shrugged. "Not that hard, after all we didn't really see much combat today." Aloe chuckled weakly. "Sorry, just had to clear my head kids. No hard feelings?" They all laughed and Jospeh nudged her. "Nah, but you could owe us a favor." Aloe sighed and reached up to take off her helmet before her head turned to face him in a lazy way. "Oh boy, why am I getting the feeling you guys are gonna ask for some sort of vacation?" Shepard chuckled and walked to the other side of the Phantom. "That's probably cuz we are." Jospeh snicker before leaning back into the wall. "Fantastic, lets see what fucking magic I'll pull out my ass to get us a vacation." Aloe said as the others chuckled.
