Light and shadows blast across the frozen landscape.

Four figures battle for dominance. (F/N) (L/N) stands in the middle of it all. His body is moving, his powers are growing....yet he knows not what to do.

This isn't a fight, this isn't a brawl, this is a hunt. The Covenant are the predators and he the "agenda" is the prey.

He runs as fast as he possibly can. His hands are glowing and he can sense things alot quicker and is in touch more acutely with his surroundings. He can move faster, is stronger and now...more scared.

He jumps over fallen branches when a shadowy figure blocks his path and instantly sharp needle like objects are thrown his way. He ducks and skids underneath the projectiles and changes his direction running around his attackers. The snow is dense and it becomes deep. Above him, the Covenant jumps and leaps across the frozen canopy from trees.

They remove their hands from their misty robes and begin to fire more knife like objects towards the young boy. He dodges with no idea of retaliation. His mind is spinning. His heart is beating and he knows not what to do....

...so he begins to sprint faster and faster, he runs harder and pushes himself. He needs to survive and most of all, he needs to escape. His voyage begins to take him up a nearby mountain and without hesitation he runs towards the snowy peak.

The chase continues...higher and higher. Up freezing paths and across deep ravines. Higher and higher until....

..the lone boy runs out of ground and approaches a cliff hundreds of feet above ground.

YOUR P.O.V

"Shit!"

I don't know what to do. First I was alone and then those three freaks decide to chase me down and want to kill me. Looks like I'll have to jump. I look over the cliff's edge. A river is flowing rapidly at its base along a rocky shore with any fall seemingly fatal but I rather die free than being killed.

I hear suddenly hear footsteps approach me. Louder and louder they sound every minute. It's them... they call themselves the Covenant and that may be cool sounding and all but it's honestly scary when they're trying to kill you. They only thing I can do now is jump.

I never asked for this. One minute I was living life and then all of a sudden New York is under attack from aliens and me of all people gets kidnapped in the middle of it. Then I wake up in some lab and some mad scientist is doing things to me and now I'm being chased in some god forsaken land and I don't even know where I am.

When I dreamt of being a superhero I wanted to fly and be free... I never meant this. I have powers now and I don't know what they are, how they work or where I got it from. I know that Dr. Cornelius has something to do with it and honestly I don't know......

...I don't know what to do.

I keep saying this to myself.

If only I understood.

If only I could conquer my fears.

Maybe........

They're behind me now, most likely already equipped to end me.

.............I just never expected for it to end this way.

Alaska- NOW....

On a cliffside deep within Alaska, the four figures converge again.

The Covenant speaks, "You are (F/N) (L/N). You may not know it yet but you are special. We are the means in which you will be great, the means in which to powerful, the means in which you will rule the world. You only need to join us. Join us and you will find true peace."

"I don't know who you three musketeers are but if you're gonna kill me it's best you do it now." the young boy replies.

The attackers look at each other and seemingly converse behind their masks. They look towards the target and then respond in unison. "Death is not the goal, only rebirth. We will give you the means to rise and conquer. You are our agenda. "

"No I'm not. I am not some toy to be messed with so stay away from me." (F/N) shouts as he starts to steps backwards towards the edge of the cliff and in doing he looks down horrified at the fall that will no doubt soon occur.

"If this is the path you wish to take then, we will deliver you to it," and with that the Covenant rushes towards the frightened boy. He screams and in a an act of defense pushes his hands in front of himself. Instantly, his hands begin to glow and huge blast shoots outwards of his palms. The three shadows scream out in pain and fall but not before one manages to thrust a knife right into (F/N)'s chest. The boy chokes in pain and blood begins to seep out of his body and soaks his clothes.....

...he tips back and falls into the plunging river below leaving behind a charred cliffside of injured bodies.
