We arrived, stayed on a planet for weeks. I sat in my tent reading more about the colonies and planets being flooded by the Prometheans. Many deaths occurring. "just horrible," I said to myself. "What is (Y/N)?" Jul asked. Looking at me and taking off his armor and getting our bed made.

"Have you heard about these attacks, Jul?" I said while pulling ok it my electro-tablet to show him.

He looked at them and I looked at him with concern. He continued scrolling through the news. "That's more planets and colonies attacked by the Prometheans. Since the Didact died. Our allies with the Prometheans went away then they disappeared..." He said and gave me back my electro-tablet.

"So... What do you think could be causing these attacks?" I asked pondered, setting my tablet on the floor piled with my duffle bag off my clothes and things. I went to my bed and laid down. Jul did the same, facing me.

"I'm not sure...." Then he pondered and spoke again... "Perhaps Dr. Halsey could tell you, you are family after all... she might know!?"

I moved my body to face the wall of the tent and closed my eyes remembering what my Godmother said.

"From what I know I'm pretty much dead to her because I decided to stay with you." I looked at him. He looked at me. He kissed my head and said. "I'm glad that you did." Then he closed his eyes to sleep. I smiled and said softly. "Me too, Jul, me too..." I kept thinking 'Did I make the right choice?' I decided not to let it get to me. I hugged Jul and went to sleep. Letting our bodies motion through our slumber.

Meanwhile, Doctor Halsey was planning for something while doing her work... But what?

----------------------------------

Location: UNSC Infinity

Year: 2558

Spartans in a room getting their gear ready.

"Fire Team Osiris, over the last 72 hours, five colonies have experienced identical events. Massive destruction. Forerunner in origin. Doctor Catherine Elizabeth Halsey has managed to contact us. She claims to have information on these attacks. Said Lasky.

"Halsey is currently in Covenant custody on the surface of Kamchatka. Your mission is to insert behind enemy lines, retrieve Halsey and bring her back to Infinity. Be advised. Doctor Halsey is accompanied by Covenant Supreme Leader Jul 'Mdama. If you have the opportunity..."

"Understood, Commander." Said Locke. Then the video went back to the Captain. "Good luck, Spartan Locke. Infinity out."

"Tracking gear online?" Locke asked Vale.

"Affirmative."

Tanaka asked saying. "Say, before we make this jump, anybody wants to say a few words?"

"I figure if God can hear how scared I am, so can everyone else..." Buck said. "Locke, you buying the first drink when we're done?" He asked.

"You ask. You buy."

Buck scoffed.

"Fireteam Osiris! the light is green," Locke shouted. Punching a button opening the back door to the Pelican. Vale put on her helmet as did the others. All the Spartans in Locke's Team jumped. 

Using their jet packs, passing the Covenant ships.

"Comm check." Said Locke.

"Comms working fine, Locke!" Replied Tanaka.

"Copy that, Tanaka."

"Spartan Buck, online and ready!"

"Spartan Vale, online."

"Weapons free!" Shouted Locke.

"Contact." Said Buck.

Using their weapons and jet packs. Shooting and heading towards their target. Killing as many Covenant in their way. Vale used her Magnum pistol towards a Covenant Phantom killing them, with as much assassination. Tanaka continued sprinting and shooting.  Along with Buck and Locke. Shooting Promethean knights in the process that we're still allied with the Covenant.

They hit their checkpoint. On their way arriving. Jul was getting impatient with Halsey. "What's the problem?" He asked Dr. Halsey. Walking impatient pacing his way, staring at (Y/N), then back at Halsey.

"Hmmm, there are several. Would you like to discuss the finer points of casual reconciliation?"

"More human sarcasm..."

"So you have learned something from me, Jul."

Mdama' looked back at (Y/N), scoffed rolling her eyes at the reply from her Godmother. 'Oh, brother...' (Y/N) thought. (Y/N) looking down. Feeling like someone was watching them...

Jul went back pacing his way back talking to Dr. Halsey. "You claim to be able to access-"

"And I can. However, I did not claim to access it instantaneously." Interrupted Halsey.

"The security station is not stable. There is no time to dither... You will also accord me the respect benefiting of the Didact's hand."

"Seems your fingers are in open rebellion, Hand-"

"ENOUGH!" shouted Jul.

"Ain't good looking..." Said Buck looking through his gun.

"Resume your work." Jul hissed.

"Eyes on target." Said, Vale.

"This location does not serve my needs. When she makes another transmission. I must triangulate..."

"I tire of this, Doctor. You have been chasing shadows for weeks to no avail." Hissed Jul.

"(Y/N) I want you to go to an escaped Phantom. Wait for me on the Cruiser!"

"Jul. I won't leave you!" She begged.

"That is an order!"

"No! I'm staying with you by your side remember!?"

"You and your stubbornness."

"I keep my promises."

BANG

"Stay behind me..." He kept on an arm on both sides. One guarding Halsey and the other (Y/N).

"We're going to Infinity whether you like it or not!" Whispered Halsey to your ear, so Jul couldn't hear.

"I'm not leaving with you!" (Y/N) hissed.

"Yes. You. Are."

"I'm sorry (Y/N), but they're going to execute Jul."

"No... Y-your lying!"

"It's okay. I already know...." Jul said softly to his mate. "I love you." He continued. Smilies. He shouted. "Kill them!" To his Elites. But, by the bullets from the Spartans, they died. Jul pushed (Y/N) out of the way.

Cliffhanger! Didn't see that coming did ya!? What happened to Jul. Did he survive!? Bro the Live Xbox gameplay info for Halo infinite is coming! Ahhhh eeeeee YASSSSS let's go! Stay tuned for more chapters.
