(A/n So i havent seen forward onto dawn in a hot minute so on some parts i left it vague so it wouldn't be to off lol, sorry! i also wroke this at like 12am in 20mins with little to no revision sooooooooo, [i forgot to take my sleep meds lol and i needed something to do])
I heard a few doors shatter and I peered around, seeing a silhouette of messed up space. I ran, yelling my body morphed into its Sangheili state and I began putting bullets into the Sangheili's armor. once I emptied the clip I slammed the gun onto its head and it bounced away as I tackled him to the ground, I reached to steal his energy sword, only to be flipped onto my back, with him on top. I quickly grabbed his wrist, twisting it and turning the sword off, and grabbing it in my free hand. I turned it on and placed it on his chest, I turned it on and it struck through him. I shoved the Sangheili off and returned to human, I looked at the others and sighed
"no time to explain, just come with me, we need to run," I said grabbing Laskey and the others, and running to the armory "when we get to the armory I need everyone to grab a gun and some grenades! armor is no use! we don't have enough time and it won't stop any energy swords!" Laskey looked at me confused as hell wondering what I was saying as well as what he had just seen me do, but nevertheless, he nodded in agreement and said a simple, "okay" in response
<time skip to when you meet chief lol (I'm totally not writing this at like, 12 am because I forgot my sleep meds again and am tired of-)>
Third-person pov
You watched as the Sangheili that was about to attack the lot of you was stopped, by none other than THE master chief, you stood up and saluted him, "chief sir, how bad is it? how much of the planet have they taken?" he looked over at you, seeming to recognize you, you had gained a lot of popularity in the chatter between the spartans, I mean being a half Sangheili, the half-human hybrid had its perks, and sadly because of that Halsey didn't want to risk augmentation on you when you had tried to sign up for the spartan 3 program, though she had said that even without argumentation you were already almost as strong as a spartan, but she still didn't want to risk it. so she had you join the ODST squads instead.
John spoke up, "the entire planet has been taken, so far, you and your friends are the only survivors" I heard a voice pipe up behind me, "in the building?" john shook his head slightly, "no, on the planet," it was then that you realized just how bad the situation was, that made you question, were they there for you or maybe something else? maybe both?
You had been so caught up in your head and trying to rack your brain over your thoughts that you didn't hear the conversations being had around you, it was only when everyone began leaving and you felt a heavy hand on your shoulder that you snapped out of your head, "Y/N, correct?" you nodded to the massive spartan in front of you, though he was only a few inches taller, as you sat at an above-average height of 6' 6" due to your Sangheili genetics, "I think it would be a good decision if you were to be in Sangheili form, you'd be more protected correct?" you nodded, "yes sir, when I am in Sangheili form I have my armor on, I've also acquired an energy sword as well." he nodded and took his hand from my shoulder and began leading us out of the room. I walked through the doorway and morphed into my Sangheili form. I pulled the energy sword from my thigh and walked up beside john
"I think it'd be a good idea if I went out first, I have active camo so I can scope around our immediate surroundings and find where the most dangerous enemies are when we first walkout" he nodded and looked over at me, "I'll need a comm so I can tell you if something happens and I need back up or I can't move" he gave me a comm and I nodded, "so I gotta ask, what's it like? being a spartan that is"
"hard to describe, we are mostly the same as the ODSTs but we have the harder, front line jobs. If I heard correctly you had tried to sign up for the spartan 3 programs correct?" you nodded, "Halsey said she couldn't risk it, she didn't know how it would interact with me at the time, I was planning on finishing ODST training and seeing if maybe I could try and get in again, see if she found out if I could do it or not. I'm aware of the dangers, but I want to help, and if I can be valuable out here? I know I can do more out there..." he nodded lightly and we approached the main opening door, I walked on ahead as he held everyone else back as I turned on active camo and walked out the door
