Take Care And Read

In the middle of the starry night, two figures can be seen wandering through the grassy fields.

One was of an escaped unsc prisoner, alleged traito r to the United Earth Government and all of Earth's colony worlds.

To the man's right side stood a seven foot nine tall sangheilli, commonly known by marines and military personals as elite's , while some calls them splitlips or simply any negatively worst names they know of.

Dural 'Mdama son of the well-known elite called Jul 'Mdama was doing better then his human partner. The elite kept pace in front of his prison partner.

Their idea was that once they arrive on infinity the two of them would then attend an escape route. It was during that time the human man was the only one that has a better chance in sneaking around the ship.

However it all came crushing down on them when one of the unsc soldiers caught him. The man realized his mistake that he forgotten the distracted man was an un'armored spartan Thorne. It was due then that the man was having trouble dealing with the spartan that during the time he could barely hold his to the more and better trained Thorne. Yet, regardless of the rout he was heading his partner Dural 'Mdama arrived on time and got to dealing with spartan Thorne.

Yet thinking that they were going to succeed in their escape, one spartan

Reached them whereas she got in a fight between herself and the sangheilli elite.

Despite how great it was, the man was just relieved to be out of the unsc penitentiary jail. And it was all thanks to Dural, who managed to knock Spartan-093 off the albatross.

However, as soon as the two fled the crashed ship, they were pursued by the unsc, and even O.N.i. would not let them stay in this world for long.

"This is utter disappointment; I should not have agreed to this plan of yours, human," Dural said, speaking in nearly broken human language.

Name: Dural 'Mama

Eyes: Yellow

Height: 7 ft 10

Weight: 326 lb

Skin Color: Lightish Grey

"Oh, quit it, dural. Look on the bright side. At least we are not on Trevelyan anymore," the human man said in response to the elite.

"All because you failed to deal with the human male; if I had not arrived, you would have undoubtedly been defeated by that man," Dural told the convict.

Daniel simply waved his hand in denial of what happened between him and Thorne. "For your information, that was an unarmored Spartan. What many of your kind know as demons,"

Name: Daniel Jr Cutter

Eyes: Dark Brown

Height: 6 ft2

Weight: 231 lb

Skin Color: Warm Brown

"Then you are an utterly shameful being for failing to defeat a demon out of armor human," Dural said reminding Daniel.

"Easy for you to say elite. A normal human is no match for a Spartan in hand-to-hand combat. Besides, I am an old man in his forties. Think of it as a grunt going up against a jiralhanae brute," Daniel said, explaining his ending.

Dural 'Mdama would not have believed his human companion, but over the many years of his life, he has seen how dangerous it is to fight a demon, as it was a case that he would also conform to. He'd seen how he fought the un'armored spartan, which he may have had held his own up against him, but dural was far more tougher to deal with even when he was was out of his armor.

However, everything changed when he fought that Spartan; she was almost as tall as he. The only exception was that she came dangerously close to killing him during their fight on the ship.

"Hey look," Daniel said, pointing in a different direction.

Dural turned his head and looked over to the other side. In his view, there was a line of people waiting their turn to gain entry through a large wooden gate.

"What is this human?" Questioned Dural.

"Looks like people are attempting to enter the town... Come on we need to get inside," Daniel said motioning for the elite to follow.

"What about the other humans? They might know who I am." Dural asked as he could see that not only humans were lining up for the entrance.

"Relax Dural. I doubt the people of these lands even know who you are. "Look around, does it appear that you are the only lizard in the line?" Daniel asked the elite, casually.

Dural 'Mdama assumed the small human was correct about his words. Wherever he looked, he could see a variety of species standing around the area. Some of them appeared to be between the average height of the sangheilli elite and that of unsc humans.

One of them resembled a crocodile and stood at least as tall as the average Spartan. Its scaly skin was a deepened red, while others were dirty white with black scales.

Dural assumed this would not be a problem, but as he and Daniel walked in line, they were stopped in their tracks by a group of people causing a commotion behind them.

"What is it now!" A guard let out in frustration when one of the armored-covered people was having a scuffle with another one of the tourists.

"This man attempted to cheat by cutting through me," said an elderly man.

"You is that true!" The guard said, staring at the black-clad armored man.

"Yeah, this old man was the one who came before me," the smuggler responded.

"That's because you threw my belonging back and took my spot! You damn thief!"

"Aww, I'm sorry pops. It is not my fault that you are too old to keep up. Don't you hear, the world needs all the younger bloods to stay strong, so that when the time comes I and others would be there fighting to protect your pathetic lives!" The armored man replied in denial.

"Heh, you fight for us. The only other thing you are ever good at is stealing from hard-earning people's work, you pathetic of a man!" The elder man said in return.

"What did you say, old man? I am not the only one here who struggles to walk with one foot. You are always the slowest one coming in and out of this town, so perhaps you can get lost in the forest, or better yet, die in the same river you fish in." After the armored figure said that, he pushed the elderly man to the ground.

"That is enough!" The guard spoke as he stood between the fallen man and pointed his sword at the armored, larger man.

"Oh yeah, and what are you gonna do about it kid," The larger man spoke, ignoring the sword pointing at him.

The guard, on the other hand, was no bigger than the man because he had only been a trainee for three days and was now dealing with his first altercation with a potential foe in his small town.

"Stay back! I order you!" The young guard responded with false defiance.

"I am afraid I can not do that, kid." The man responded with a refusal as he continued on.

"Maybe you should pick on someone your own size, you big bone bastard!" Behind him, a stoic man spoke in a loud voice.

Turning around to face the person who said that, the man initially saw no one but looked down when someone tapped him on the knee.

"Down here human!"

The man heard it and looked to see who it was, and his eyes widened as a short three-foot-tall and half-dwarf delivered a mean loaded uppercut that hit his face. When the dwarf's fist struck the taller six-foot-seven man, he fell hard and landed on his rear end.

Behind the dwarf, a hooded figure spoke with a female voice. "Zallar, I had that!"

"Yeah, whatever you say, Elf. Besides, I outperformed you, and you are simply too slow for your own good," the dwarf remarked.

A tick appeared on the side of Melvinia's head in rage at being talked down like that by her race rival. "Why, you little midget, maybe your kind deserved to be exiled for their own transgression!"

"To be fair, I do not blame them for their actions. After all your so called elven lord is dead ain't she?" Zallar retorted with a quip to the elven woman.

Melvinia was about to respond to the dwarf's comments about her lord when she felt a hand rest on her right shoulder. "Calm down you two, there's no need for you guys to get at each other's throat, or have you forgotten what we set out to do," Carly said speaking.

"Apologize, human; I only acted out of defiance to the young girl's words," Zallar said, picking up his fallen parchment.

"Melvinia?" Carly inquired as she gazed at the young elven woman.

Melvinia replied, "I am fine," hiding her resentment towards herself and the dwarf.

"Alright, thanks you two. I understand that your people harbor animosity toward one another, but we have more pressing issues to address right now. Right now, we have a first clue as to where the raiders had last taken the princess and the girl," Carly said, relieved that the problem between the two was resolved.

Five stood patiently behind the three people, while the Spartan was currently speaking quietly with Deha. The two of them were talking about a matter involving a team of twenty-first-century people who had arrived earlier than their groups and were a mile away from the town.

He wondered in his head if they had seen his groups but presumed that they had been resting inside the middle of town.

"How many of them are there?" Five inquired of his partner.

"Hmm, according to my analysis, I would say they have about ten members," Deha responded.

"Ten, that might cause me some minor problems," Five remarked, reflecting on the situation.

"Yes, I understand where you are going with that. But hey, I doubt you would even have any trouble dealing with them. Not that I am suggesting you kill them right away," Deha remarked.

"I would not even consider making that decision. So no need to think about it," Five replied to his A.I. Partner.

"I agree with you on that. "I am sure you have already devised a strategy for dealing with them," Deha said, sensing Koa's thoughts.

For a while the four groups with each steps moved one by one coercively. After having to wait for the countless people in front of them they were eventually being called up by the guards.

"State your name," The elderly-looking guard spoke to them.

"Zallar, of the brownzebeard clan," The dwarf declared.

"Melvinia of the Western Forest tribe," The elven woman said next.

"Umm, I am collon graves of America," The agent said half lying.

"And I am carly, I'm from the north, currently living in one of the villages there," the ONI agent said next.

The guard once he was done with writing down the information he got then turned and faced the biggest one out of the group. "And you my are what?"

"I am Five, I'm from a very far place. Forgive me for being disservice of you for my home is kept secretive," Five responded.

"That's quite fine big man, as long as you don't do anything wrong in my town, then I won't have any problems with you," The old man said to the spartan.

"No problem sir," Replied five.

"Alright man, let them through!" the guard said aloud to his fellow guards.

MI6 Group P.O.V.

"So, what do we do from now on team leader?" a flat voice of a man said.

"We wait," The team leader said.

One of the people from the lead man's team lurched forth and whispered lowly. "Wait! Are you kidding me adler! We've been chasing bell for years! And everytime we get close to him, he somehow manages to skip right through us,"

"As much as I don't like it, James is right adler. We can't keep waiting any longer. We need to find bell," A British woman said as she spoke in common yet nearly adequate English.

"And we will, you guys need to know that I am doing the best I can to save time for us to find him. And if you want that to happen, you both need to be patient," Adler said in response.

Name: Russel Adler

Eyes: Dark Green

Height: 6 ft1

Weight: 227 lb

Skin Color: Lightish white

One of their other squad members leaned back on his seat as he sighed heavily. "Now that you said that patience is the one thing that we are slightly good at. But, in our situation, I doubt we'll even have time. But hey at least there'll be no more fighting nazi's spies and Russians bad guys,"

"Just be glad we aren't going to have fight those mongrel's on earth ever again. Annoying sons of bitches," Anothet woman of the team said as she took a sip of her mug.

"I've got to say, this people know how to cook. I'm mean i half half-expected their food and drinks to taste like shit," Lawrence Sims said in a remark.

Name: Lawrence Sims

Eyes: Dark black

Height: 6 ft1

Weight: 218 lb

Skin Color: Dark Black

"I think enjoying this people's meals is getting a bit into you sims," The British woman said in a quip.

Adler the team leader of their squad leaned forward with hands on the table. "Enjoy the food and drinks squad, we'll need all the energy we can to move on our feet,"

"As much as I love this food, I'm starting to miss the good old burger. That is if we can sneak past the gate and steal some from the local Japanese store," Sims said picking at what seems like a steak on his plate.

"Speaking of gate, how long do you guys think it'll take for the entire world to know of the existence of the other super powers," Helen Park said in a query.

Name: Helen Park

Eyes: Light Brown

Weight: 132 lb

Height: 5 ft11

Skin Color:

"That I do not know. But when it comes the time, I doubt that every nation on earth would be a lot interested then they have when the gate appeared on Japan," Samantha another one of the female members said.

Name: Samantha Pollan

Eyes: Black.

Weight: 214 lb

Height: 5 ft11

Skin color: Light Brown

"Uh oh, take a look guys. Woods looks like he's causing trouble again!" Helen said gesturing with her head at where the other member of their team was getting in a heated conversation with a townsfolk.

Adler who saw this stepped out of his seat whereas his team followed after him.

As the MI6 team were exiting the restaurant they then headed forth where woods and man was arguing in. However they halted in their steps when a little girl around the age of a middle schooler stepped forth and stood her ground against the man bigger then she was.

"That is enough!" The girl said.

The bigger men tilted his head down at the smaller girl with a smirk across his face. "Oh yeah, and what exactly will you do about it little girl!?"

"Nothing, but I suggest that you stop it," The young lass said standing her ground.

"Stop, heh. No, I'm afraid I won't do that little girl,"

The man clenched his fist turned around to face the other way and just when the girl breathe a sigh of relief he quickly turned around to push her, yet instead of her the other man he has been arguing with stepped between him and caught his fist.

Woods grunted as he caught the man's hand and after he punched the man he got one in return causing him to fall on his back. He guessed that he couldn't be as vital as he was back in his old days, but now here he was, taking a hit for a girl he doesn't even know.

Frank woods peered up at the bigger man, his eyes moved to where he could see the little girl before standing there three feet away from him. She held in her hand a staff of some sort. He could've sworn he saw the staff emitting some sort of green light.

"Kid, what are you doing get away!" Woods said in alarm.

Name: Frank Woods

Eyes: Black

Height: 6 ft1

Weight: 226 lb

Skin Color: Lightish Olive Brown

The bigger man angered by what the girl said clenched his fist and was about to hit the smaller girl, however just as he was about to bring it down on the girl a green armored hand caught it mid-air.

Frank woods could hear around him that multiple townsfolks and humanoid beings had began murmuring in silence while some were awestruck at the sight of an armored being. Woods has seen tall people back on earth, but the thing in front of him towered over everyone he's met.

He saw that the other man who was about to strike the girl struggled to get his hands free from the spartan's grasp. Woods heard a couple of footsteps coming his way and turned his head to see his teammate with of course Russel adler in the lead.

His mi6-team stopped in their track when the spartan let go of the man arm. And thinking that the drunken man came to his senses woods was wrong when he saw the man went to punch the Spartan.

Five saw the punch coming from a mile away and without much effort he caught the man's smaller hand in his palm.

The man, taken aback, stood there for a moment before attempting, unsuccessfully, to pry the Spartan's hand from him. However the Spartan unconcerned by his sudden yell proceeded to squeeze his hand.

"Let go of you bastard!" The man says in an effort to the armored five.

"That is if you won't cause any trouble, again," Five said to him with stern yet firm sound of his voice.

"He'll no, I ain't goi- arrrgh!"

This time everyone else who was watching couldn't help but felt a tiny bit of pity as the spartan continued to squeeze the man's hand even harder whereas the drunken fool slumped down on both of his knees.

The girl bold girl who stood her ground could not stand aside while watching this any longer. Having enough of it she stepped forth and spoke up at the spartan.

"Hey that is enough!" The girl said speaking loudly.

The man still trying to pry the armored hand off of him evantually relented as he spoke out in a defeated state. "Alright, I give up, just please have some mercy!"

"Koa," Deha spoke for she could feel exactly how the spartan was thinking.

The spartan sensing that there were multiple eyes on him supposed he might have overdone it, so without care for the pained man let go of his hand, after that he turned to face the girl and then looked around at every one of the people who were watching him.

He then glanced at the older looking frank woods as the two of them were staring at each other. Frank woods nodded at the spartan in thanks for stepping in while five returned the gesture.

Seeing that the drunke man wouldn't do anything rash again five turned to where Carly and the others were heading his way.

"Woods! What the hell are you doing here!?" A surprised Collon graves said as he and the shock frank woods engaged each other in a handshake.

"Collon, I could say the same about you ya son of a bi***" Woods exclaimed happy to see his old teammate.

"Seems like you two know each other," Carly spoke earning both men's eyes on her.

Frank woods turned his head and was awestruck by the beautiful woman in his right. "Woah, who's the lady man?"

"This here is Carly, she's uh, she's an acquaintance of mine," Collon said answering his old teammate.

"Nice to meet you Carly," Woods says as he had his hand forth a greeting.

"Nice to meet you sir," the Oni agent replied as she shook his hand.

"Seems like we didn't need to get ourselves involved in your scuffle woods," the familiar voice of Russel Adler said introducing himself.

"Allow me to introduce you my squad leader lady Carly. This here is Russel Adler, and those behind me are part of my team," Frank woods said as each and every one of the MI6 squad spoke their name.

"The names Kaori, you can call kitsune," the eyepatched Japanese woman spoke giving Carly's group a simple wave of her index finger.

"Alex Mason," the former Marine turned agent said next.

"Lawrencence Sims, but ya'll can just call me Sims. My teammates always calls me that," the Brooklyn man says with a smile.

"Samantha pollan," The woman waved as she took a glance at each of the Spartan's group.

"The boys and girls here calls me Helen Park, but usually they just call me Park," the British says as she shook hands with Carly.

"I suppose I should introduce my squad to you guys as well," Carly said as she can already tell who it is that's going to speak up due to how quick he's had to walk.

"I am zallar, I am from that of the brownzbeard clan," the undaunted dwarf said.

"I can't believe we are having to introduce ourselves again!" Muttered the elf woman of the crew as she then faced the MI6 team and spoke. "I am Melvinia of the western forest,"

"And what about you little girl, you with them?" Adler said looking down at the young lass.

An irritated expression appeared on the young girl's face as she looked up at the soldier angrily. "I ain't a little girl, I am twelve years old!"

"That is still considered young," Woods says smiling down at the young girl.

Adler sensing another pausable confrontation beginning to spark now with woods and the girl decided to speak up so as to dissuade the two from arguing. "And what about your big friend over here?" Adler said looking the spartan up and down.

Both Carly and Collon turned and faced the spartan, they stood there awaiting for five to speak whereas the ONI agent ushered to the spartan with a nod of her head.

The Spartan on his side was debating whether or not to reveal his name, but given that he usually refers to himself by a number, he assumed that Russel Adler and his crew would only learn his surname and faction affiliation.

However, before he could say anything to the man and his team, the spartan helm turned and looked at Carly as they conversed privately, thanks to the hidden chip in the oni agent's ear.

"You think the higher-ups would be okay with me telling them that I was from the UNSC?" the spartan said to the woman.

"Yeah, I see no problem with it. Besides, we are stuck here on this weird planet," Carly confirmed.

"Agreed," Five replied as he then faced adler and spoke. "My name is five, I'm from that of a different faction or sect that is. The place I'm from is called the unsc,"

"Unsc?" Samantha said thinking to herself. "Our commander told us about you Mr. Five. Or should I call you spartan,"

"Five is enough," The Spartan told her aware that the woman and her leaders in the special region had information about him obtained from the spies who were clearly hiding within Arenian City.

The mention of the word unsc caught Helen's interest which she then spoke in inquiries. "Unsc? If you do not mind me asking, are you not one of the people who saved third recon team from the dragon?"

"Yes, I am," Five said replying to the British woman. Though the word dragon caught him off guard.

"I knew it, you are one of the sky people that the townspeople and people of this world have been talking about for the past few days," Samantha exclaimed with a sudden burst of excitement.

"Seems like you have quite the reputation," Carly commented from her coms.

"It is nothing, I've only been stopping the raiders from pillaging a numbers of villages and small town," The spartan said to her in response.

Although he may have saved those villages and towns the spartan still wasn't a fan of being in the spot light. Yet regardless of that, it doesn't mean he would be the type of person to just stand by and watch the raiders relishing in their depraved act of calamity.

"For once I agree with Samantha, though I have to say. The armor you wear spartan is quite identical to the picture our boss showed us," adler added as he pulled out a picture and held it for five to see.

"Does that means that you carly are also from the unsc?" Helen said asking the oni agent.

Sighing to herself carly couldn't help but just smile lightly at the woman in return. "Yes, I am. Both me and the spartan are,"

"You two don't seem surprised by this, what gives it away?" Questioned Alex mason.

"Oh, believe me, we are very aware of you twenty-first century people. We saw the empire enter the gate about a month ago, only to return in small numbers. I must say, Miss Kaori, Japan is not that bad at defending itself," Carly told them, arms folded.

"You all knew, we were being invaded, and yet done nothing to stop them," adler said skepticly.

Carly smirked as she glanced at the spartab and then back to the mi6 group. "Oh please, it's not like America and Britain hasn't done the same thing in over a hundred years, or should remind y'all of how you and your country buddies set foot on irag without their consent,"

"Ouch, that's a burn!" remarked Deha.

"Hundred years ago?" Helen said inquisit ively wondering what the oni agent meant f or that certain event only happened in two-thousand-three. "Surely y'all aren't that far behind, the irag event only happened three years ago, right now is 2005,"

"The year for us is 2571," Carly said answering her.

That response gotten the mi6 group to be in shock for they didn't expect both Carly and the spartan to hail from five hundred years in the future. Some of them were quite interested of the future whereas Helen being the brain and intelligence agent of the mi6 had to ask out of curiosity.

"Twenty five seventy one! Are you being truthful with us?" inquired Helen.

Helen expected that some of this twenty first century folks wouldn't be so certain of her statement so she unclasped her hands and pointed with her thumbs at five. "Is he not enough of a proof for you all?"

The spartan saw russel adler and the rest of his team now all looking his way and somehow he knew that a certain AI would make a joke about it.

"See, told ya you would be famous," Quipped Deha.

For five he wasn't really drawn into what carly spoke of but the next thing she said certainly caught his interest. "Twenty five seventy one!? How long had I been gone from the unsc space. Last time I've been sent here, it was the year 2557 when I detonated the bomb on the covenant lots list ship,"

That got Deha to sigh sadly as she felt responsible for keeping that information from her partner. Previously when the both of them first arrived on vahrian fourteen years ago they were searching for any possible that could help them return back on unsc space.

For fourteen long years five and her have been roaming this land in hopes of finding a way back home, magic or not, it didn't work nor did deha think it was possible and yet somehow the unsc arrived in this world. And out it all deha didn't inform koa of how they got here first. The AI felt sorry for she didn't tell koa about it, and now after years of longing for his home the hope within koa sparked once more. However she could sense how slightly shock koa was of hearing that he's been gone for that many years.

"Koa I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have told you this before, but I thought that-

"It's ok deha, you were only doing what's best," Five said causing his partner to sigh in relief.

"Anyway, can I know why a two people from the future are walking around with a bunch advanturers?" Questioned woods.

"We were looking for a group of people who had taken our princess from her mother, queen Lager, the daughter of the empress herself," Melvinia replied to the man's question.

"Funny you say that, we are doing the same as well," Said an ironic helen.

"I'm guessing somebody dangerous?" Carly told her.

"Something like that," Adler added in though he was quite impressed by how slightly right carly was.

He and his crew sole mission was to be sent through the gate to find a runaway Bell, a woman who was of a trusted ally of theirs that had turned bad and fled from their grasp and here they are in the last place they believed bell was previously been seen.

"How ironic, it looks like both of our groups are on the same quest as well," Zallar commented as he laughed.

Helen reached into the pocket of he r coat and pulled out a picture and held out for five and his crew to see. "Say if you guys don't mind, the people that taken this princess of yours, did they happened to have worn clothes like this?"

"Yes," Five said simply.

"Perhaps we should work together. You see we are searching for a long time friend of ours, and think that with our groups together it could shorten our task in finding the bastards that kidnapped your princess," Adler said in an offer hoping that the obvious leader of the group would accept.

"I don't see any problems with that. Five, what do you think. Should we join them?" Carly told him already knowing the answer from him.

"Yeah, I think that'll be a good enough of an idea,"

Alex mason reached forth and pulled adler back where they then chatted in private. "Are you sure of this russel! For as good as they may seem, we can't afford to work with a bunch of people who are from the future. We can't be too trustful with these two?"

"We have no other choice but to do this mason. Besides with the dwarf and elf, they might have information that correlate with this world. Why do you think Las well sent us here, because she knew he arrive here,"

"Yeah, thanks to collon," Samantha added in.

"You know, when I first saw the picture of that spartan, I thought he was just some big as* guy in custome, but to hear and see him in person is quite the sight," Helen commented.

"Yeah, besides. I think we found the one person responsible for saving those villages and towns we've been In," Sims said earning a nod of affirmation from his group.

"So does that you are all in on this?" Adler said asking his group.

*Sighing* "Yes, yes we are. I believe with the spartan and his crew, they can help us shorten the search for bell," Helen said in agreement.

"Then let's do this shit," Woods said.

Grey Team P.O.V.

"What the hell is this!" The team leader of grey team said as he was looking through the scope of the SRS99C sniper rifle.

"Now do you believe me?" Adrianna-111 spoke as she knew that her squad leader wouldn't believe her at first.

"How's this possible, I thought he died back in 2557!?" Lucy-B091 added.

She could not believe that one of her teacher was alive, after all this year's she and Tom-B292 thought that their commander kurts brother was had died fourteen years ago.

"Should we tell command of this jai. The doctor and mendez would be happy to hear that Koa is alive," one of the Grey teams oldest member michael-120 spoke.

Jai was pondering over the matter that if he should call doctor halsey and tell her that sierra-005 was alive and well, however his thought process came to a halt when from his side a certain reaper had stopped in his track.

"What do you think Jai, should we group up with koa?" Noble 6 sierra-B312 asked him.

Jai shifted as he turned and looked at noble 6 way. In over two years ago six along with two other spartan 3's joined his team as a new member of the squad.

He was well informed by chief mendez that koa-005 and kurt-051 were hand picked by paragonsky and ackerson to help train the new branch of spartans so that they could aid the unsc on the ongoing war with the covenant.

Jai was also aware that koa stayed behind to manually operate the gun to protect the pillar of autumn while six and emile as well as the rest of noble left within the pelican alongside the famous captain keyes.

So he knew that six and the other two spartan three's were eager to just head on down there to the town and greet one of their teacher. However, as great as that may be for them Jai couldn't afford to let that happened. Ofcourse he too wanted to see his lost brother as well, but if there's one thing that both he and koa agree to, it was that the mission comes first.

"No six, look I know that you guys are wanting to meet up with koa, but you have to understand, the mission comes first. We are here to find the escaped prisoners. Koa comes last understand?"

"Yes sir!" The squad responded in unison.

"Good to know. Also do not tell command of this, nor the doctor and mendez," Jai told them.

"Huh! Why's that Jai. With him alive halsey would want to see that five is among the planet with us," Lucy said interjectedly.

"We are telling her, just not yet," Jai said to her.

Another reason he chose not to tell the doctor was that ONI would want one of their most powerful weapons returned. If he had told Mendez, Halsey, and the other Spartan Twos that five was still alive, he would have known that Serin Osman and her Oni buddies would want Koa to return to doing their dirty work. Especially since koa was one of their best weapon, and he couldn't allow five to be a brainwashed machine once again, no he could not.

"Then what do you suppose we do, we know that the sangheilli and Daniel is there in town, especially with koa there. Where do you think five will go?" Adrianna spoke not wanting to leave koa again.

"Adrianna, trust me on this. We will meet up with koa again. Besides, I believe he isn't going to be alone. Take a look," Jai says as he handed adrianna back her sniper.

The spartan took a look from her sniper's scope and proceeded to zoom in further. Standing besides koa was a few other people that she doesn't know of. One of course was the oni agent she read about and the others was probably people from either this world and that of earth.

"Lastooks like koa made some friends without us, how sweet," Adrianna muttered.

"I'm surprised he made some friends at all. The big guy was always an introvert back in the cadet days," Michael remarked as he chuckles.

"Heh, never knew our second teacher was an introvert," Six added in.

"There are some things you guys don't know about koa at all. But this, this one is surely a surprise to me as well," Jai said as he couldn't help but agree with his team.

"Oh, looks like their on the move!" Adrianna said causing the squad to shift.

"What's up, where they going?" Michael asked.

*ROAR*

"Is that a dragon!" Tom exclaim in shock.

Five P.O.V.

Three Minutes Before The Occurence

"Now tell me why we should allow you to join us little girl," Woods says wondering why a girl young enough to be in middle school was with them.

"Because, I want to. Besides, I know this lands better then most of you, no hard feelings," She said in a tease.

"None taken kid," Collon said liking the girl's boldness.

"OK, can you tell us how someone like you can help in the matter we are in?" asked Adler.

"Glad you you asked, unlike some old man here. Anyway, as I was saying. The one place that can help you find this raiders you've mentioned is a lot better then having to roam the land. The ship we are taking is one of a kind,"

"Speaking of ship, how good is it, last I've heard is that the water's on this part of the ocean is quite strong to the point that most ships either get broken down by the waters, or that some big sea creature drowns it," Kaori said pondering in on the issue about ocean.

"Oh, you needn't no worries about that lady, this ship is one of a kind. Besides, the captain of it happens to be one of the most greatest witches on vahrian," The girl said in praised of a certain woman.

"And might that be?" Mason asked.

"Morgana," the girl said answering him.

"Morgana," Samantha said in a slight surprise for she was familiar with a certain TV show she used to watched as a young kid.

"Yep, lady Morgana. The lady of the night. She happens to have a lot of names around the world. And one of them is being captain of the grey," The girl said responding to Samantha happily.

"You one of her crews or something kid?" Adler asked.

"Yep, as a matter of fact I happened to be her greatest members on the ship," The girl said praising herself loudly as she hopped on over a box.

"Somehow I doubt that," Collon muttered to Helen.

"I heard that! Come on the ship is only right down there!" The girl said as she pointed down to where the ship was docked at.

"Damn! That's one beautiful gal!" Kaori said in surprise to sight of the ship.

"I'm with you on that," Sims said in agreement.

"So little girl where's thi-

"My name is Bullen," the girl responded cutting woods off mid sentence.

"OK Bullen, where is this captain of yours. I know that for us to board your ships, a captain would always want payment as return?" Inquired Adler.

"She's in the in the main quarters of the ship, come on I'll introduce you guys to her!" Bullen told them as she ran down the steps.

However before her right foot could touch the steps one of the ships that was slowly coming to a stop was suddenly destroyed into a burning crisp.

"Dragons! Everybody move!" Helen called out as she and the groups ran for cover as one of the lizards could be seen coming their way.
