Halo: Eclipse

Chapter 9

"I figure you would all ready know., but, I digress. I am called Helios, to you, I'm know as the traitor to all suns or whatever." His copy of colonel Thompson vanished and was replace by S4 CQB armor.

"Spartan 4 armor!?" Remus began," How did you..."

"Heh, how else do you think I can impersonate so many people." Now if you would excuse m--" he was interrupted by Torres putting electric cuffs on his wrist.

"Helios, you are under federal arrest! For crimes against humanity, and whatever else you did." He paused for a minute,"Oh, and impersonating a Colonel."

Remus laughed.

But before we could enjoy ourselves I was reminded that we might be at war again, by a wraith shell hitting directly above us.

"We have to get to a communication array!" I said as I looked up the hatch.

"Humph, that's not gonna help. It's either you take me in and risk a war with a blood thirsty race, you had a treaty with not to long ago. Or, you turn me in and not get to see me pay for what I've done. Personally id go with the--" Helios' words were interrupted by Remus slamming his fist into the back of his head.

"Remus! You could have killed him!" I yelled.

"Please, as hard headed as this guy is it'll take a freight train to shut him up."

The hatch re-opened, as we saw Torres fall from the opening.

"Ok, so..... Now what?"

We explained to him who the imposter was.

"Ah, ok. So..... Now what? He restated.

"We find a comm unit, and hail the corvette's commander." I said.

We walked down the long narrow sewer and continued to hear gun fire.

"Now!!" Said a voice above us.

A loud explosion shook the tunnel, and 2 soldiers fell from the hatch above.

"Oh. Hello." I guess they couldn't see us.

"......." They paused.

"OH FUCK! You... Your the guys we gotta catch. Oh shit your so under arrest!" Said one of the soldiers.

"Nah, your commander and chief, turned out to be an alien from another galaxy, who's bent on destroying us for some reason I don't know. That's all." Said Remus as he looked at them with a straight face.

"Look, this guy was pretending to be Thompson. Thompson died after the communication hails stopped coming from the dusk. And I'm guessing the ships that fell from orbit shortly after was the fleet that was escorting him."

"Oh, that makes since. I think..."
