Tapping of boots sounded throughout the halls. A figure of a person wrapped in nearly a full on dark black cloak. Around its neck were a numbers of red feathers all sticking into the individual's cloak at a shoulders reach.
Holding in his right was a wooden staff as silver metal envelopes it from top to bottom. On the top is that of a red crystal shaped in a rhombus like shape, it glowed slightly into brighter hue of the same color.
The cloaked figure continues in his stride for long enough until evantually he reaches a certain door. Opening it he closes it after entering, and once he enters he glances to the right where he can see an unlit torch. The person could clearly smell the scent of oily and flammable substances and immediately had to rub his nose due to him inhaling a small amount of it.
He reaches forth with his staff and chanted some unfamiliar words as seconds later a fire lit up while it continues on lighting up the whole hallway.
Those who were sleeping in their cells complained for having to be awakened by the light. As for others, they just groaned lightly and didn't bother to joined their fellow cell mates in their loud words of insults at the cloaked figure that just passes by ignoring them without a care of what they speak.
"Oh silence you fools. Your words does not effect me in any way, so I'd suggest a better one and quiet if you want your plate to be filled by morning, unless you wanted to be empty." The old man says proceeding pass each cells aware of the hateful glares that the prisoners were giving him.
"You will be dealt with old man! Ya hear me! Once I get out of these hellhole, I will kill you!" Yelled someone knowing the old men can hear him.

GATE 2
WORLD VAHRIAN
"Run!" A man yelled.
Behind the numerous numbers of people were troops of medevil soldiers, a good majority of them were all bear in roman like armor, while a preponderance amount were just monsters such as tamed ogres and giants plus sized lizard-like monsters. All of which was currently rampaging through the civilians who are running for the fear of their life.
Specifically, one of them was a US National Guard trooper, also referred to as a guardswoman or guardsman by other members of the armed forces. The aforementioned individual swiftly responded by giving a Roman soldier a hard kick to the right side of his chest after dodging his sword blow. The woman hears footsteps behind her and quickly draws her SIGP-220 Handgun, firing three rounds into the soldier's temple. She didn't stop there and continued to take out a couple more of the other foes who was nearing her position. With her last bullet, the guardswoman pressed the trigger one more time only for her to hear a click.
She stopped there and stared at the pistol in utter shock, in a moment she was went to reload it but a loud and deafening screech occurs striking the guardswoman in a sudden fear. She looks up to see what it was, and to her expectation the guardswoman sees that it is a wyvern, ontop of the scaly creature was a rider.
"Caisey!" Shouts a man.
From the the corner of her eyes she saw one of her fellow soldiers. The guardsman
Acted on his feet and launches towards her.
The wyvern rider sees this and immediately pulled on his reins signaling for his partner to come to a complete stop where as they were currently floating sixteen feet up in the air.
*Aaaghhh*
Caisey groaned as she turned to her side, next to her was the guardsman that had saved her, she squinted slightly and looked in a little closer and notices a name tag on the left side as it spelled Kashmir. Though, as greatful as she was, caisey and the man got up on their feet and peered around them. Running all around them was the monsters and roman like soldiers picking off anyone they deemed necessary to be slain, either by bullets from their own muskets of guns or by arrows and swords alike. The two of them went to run into another direction but one of the monsters within the invaders caught sight of them.
"Awww shit!" The guardsman says as he and caisey ran the opposite way from their previous path.
The goat like monster roared out to one of its allies, they heard his call and answered. With it the trio ran towards their path.
"Come on, this way!" Kashmir told her as he pulled on her arm.
The two ran and ran hoping to outrun their pursuers. About seventy feet away from them was the clear blue light of the sea.
They also could see a couple of the crews on the ship battling off one of the monstrous beings that were trying to board the ship, while some of the roman gunners was trying to shoot down the ship. However, from the side of the pirate twelve four foot square shaped holes opened.
The roman gunners looked on in shock at the numerous cannons, all they could do was stand their watching. They tried to fire once again but the cannons didn't give them the chance to do so as each one of them were all blown to smitherins leaving nothing but a bunch of raining fleshes, tunics and metals alike.
"Come on caisey! Keep moving." Kashmir let out as they ran for the ships dock.
Around them people such as migrants and civilians alike were all getting killed off, as for others, well, they were taken by force from either of the monstrous figures or roman soldiers without their consent. Seeing that there weren't a best option for them to choose at the very moment, both caisey and Kashmir ran for the pirate ship.

__________
The cloaked man chuckles evilly and just ignores all of them not caring at all of what they have to say. He trekked through the halls whereas he finally came to a halt and turned to his right.
Inside the cell, the cloaked man saw three children. One of them was a young lady with dirty black hair that had dried up. Though, she may have a messy hair, she was not alone as the other two girls had the same outcome as her. The young one still had on her outfit the day she was taken by the very men sent to capture her.
Though she may be the smallest out of the other two, the young halfing was the one with the most ferocity showned, which was of no jester as two of the men both received injuries from her.
On her right was none other then kraeva herself, daughter of vaena and brandor. She was the most silent one out of the two of her companions. Kraeva however still remained with hatred burning in her eyes, dull dead eyes for it followed the cloaked man's every step since he entered the hall.
He continues to stare down his trio of prisoners till his gaze landed on the third person who was the most one he hated. Not because she hasn't done anything to him, but because of the very person she is related to. Queen lager, daughter of the empress.
The cloaked man bowed mockingly at the three girls. "Greetings your highnesses, please allow me to introduce myself... I am zellren, wizard of the red legion. I'd say good morning to you two, but seeing as how you both had been held in here for three days, I figured you would've hated the sight of the one responsible for you two being held prisoner, here in such a dark dungeon. So tell me, how has your day been?" The cloaked man spoke in a rythmic yet slightly darker voice.
"Fairly nice , all thanks to you, ya red hairless bastard... Yer lucky I haven't noticed you, or else I would've ripped your very throat to shreads!" The shorter of the trio responded in a threatening way.
"Oh please, save the attitude for later halfling. You'll need it for the very time you meet the teeth of the krendaran beasts." Replied the cloaked man unconcern of the death threat.
"What is it you'll do with us old man?" Grang the halfling said questioning him as she wrapped her hands around the iron bars while trying to push her head through it.
"Nothing of importance young halfling. What I do will be shown to you two very soon, so do me a favor and at least please, calm down." The man says in return as his eyes moves to the one in the center. "And who might you be?"
"None of your concerns monster!" Responded leaves only for her to let out a cry when the cloaked man lifted his free hand up in a simple gesture.
"Leave her alone!" Princess elly shouts scared for her friend.
"Oh really, and why should I be?" The man replies continuing in his act watching as leaves was being held up in midair as she struggles to breath.
"Because she's an important friend of mine! And I can't lose her... Please." Elly says pleading in behalf of kraeva.
"No, I'm afraid that is not possible." The cloaked man told her as he peeres right at the struggling leaves who tried breathing for the least amount of air.
"That's is enough old man!"
The cloaked man hearing that voice just responded by simply dropping kraeva and steps back hands on his staff.
"Of course my liege. Anything you say!" The old man says bowing his head.
To the girl's curiosity they watched as a man dressed in a dark red robe walked towards them with slow yet precise strides. And like most of his accomplice he too holds a staff, but the one he held was more diverse then his own allies and students. In his eyes were res pupils, it radiated the color of a flame such as that of red circling at every moment he blinks.
Around the man's right wrist was a black bracelet, created to hide his true identity from those around him. Though, that didn't mean that people weren't already scared of him. Not because of his prowess, but because they know what he could do to them if any fools tries to break his rules.
"Hello princesses. And greetings to you two as well young lass." The man spoke glancing at each and every one of them.
"Who are you. I can't help but sense something strange the moment you stepped in?" Elly asked looking at the new arrival indiscriminately.
"I am pleased to know that you've managed to feel that princess elly. Daughter of the great queen lager... But who I am is of no one to you little one. However, I will tell you my name." The man replied as he was about to speak once more until grang cut him off.
"Then do it. I no longer wish to stand here and listen to all you red bastards monologing about who ya are!" Eyes furrowed as she stepped back with her back sliding down against the brick wall.
"Patience little halflying. I'd suggest silence, for you will need your strength for the beasts... As I was saying. My name is draeon. One of the masters of the red wizards. I've come down here to see if you two have decided to make up your mind?" The man says expecting a different response from them.
"Red wizards!... My mother told me stories about you and your cult of magic wielding people. Is it true that you've all used to be dragons once?" Inquired elly wondering if the many stories about them were as true as the many words others spoke of them.
The man's eyes glowed red, his pupils lit up into an orange flame swirling around in a circle. Suddenly it came to a stop, and a second later his eyes turned back to its normal state. He leaned forth slightly as his face came near three feet away from the iron bars.
"Correct my liege. Unfortunately, I only came here to let you two know. Or three of you that is... By tomorrow, three kingdoms will visit these land of the red. And each one of them will witness as the princesses, and a young lass of a peasant die in battle." Draeon declared.
As he was about to leave, elly spoke out to him. "My mother, my grandmother, the empress. Both of them will treat these transgression of yours as a war crime for kidnapping us!"
The cloaked old man and draeon both halted in their steps as only draeon himself glances back at them and replied. "I know, which is why I've summoned some of my allies... But for others, I wouldn't be too much of a fool to spoil our plans. Have a good day princesses."
*SLAM*
As he set there, five gazes up at the night sky. The stars, it was something as little as this that he enjoys doing whenever he and the others got the free time they are awarded. Birds flew past and over the clouds, and as far as his eyes could take him, five can zoom in at the cloudy night.
It's something like this that sometimes reminded him of his cadet years with many of his other spartan brothers and sisters.
He recalled back to one time throughout the years where he and green team led a group of trainers into a forest. Their main task was to lure the two larger man as long as their little legs can help them.
For as long as he and green team had run, they were finally able to outrun the two trainer. Unfortunately, one of the man had with him a taser. The dirty scumbag shot at the least slowest member of the team, Grace. Or simply known as cadet sierra zero nine three.
Grace tried to keep up with every member of the team, but no matter what she still couldn't come as close to them in speed. Cal-141 being one of the only Spartan's who had outran her squad, which included both Kurt and koa. The only other one who has come close to her was that of asta-017 followed by koa as the third fastest in the group.
Koa had started enjoying running with his team for that time being, uncaring of the outcome, that is until he heard grace had fallen behind them. The rest of green team tried to stay behind with him, but koa refused for he and the team to lose once again. So he couldn't afford to let that happened and told them to go on whereas he went back to help an injured grace.
By the time green team agreed they had rushed to the finished line. And when koa went back for grace, he saw one of the trainer kicking grace by the abdomen. He screams out in a fit of a war cry and tackles the man onto the ground. Though, koa understand that the man was far stronger then he was at that time. And so he made sure to subdue fast enough while having to shout at an injured grace.
Unfortunately, koa was struck by the side of his head from the trainer's partner. It was during that time that koa still tlhas that same scar on his left side of the head till these day.
He remembers the moment that grace had finally brought herself back to full strength, yet still hurt from the pain being inflicted upon her. When she saw koa getting kicked aside she grabbed the nearest weapon she could find. A rock, though it may have not done that much damage on him, for the man only grabs it and was about to struck grace with it. That's when koa threw some dirt into the man's trainer's eyes and dashes forth surprising the man by kicking his leg where the back of his kneecap is located.
The man immediately slumped back. Hurt by that the guy was about to struck koa until from behind him grace came to the rescue and swung at his head with a log tree. Koa thankful for that ushered for grace to catch up with the others.
By the time he and grace arrived koa and her were met with the rest of the green team. Although they weren't on the first and second place due to the situation they were in, Kurt and koa did not care for the award. As they both know that their squad was more important then just winning dinner.
But that didn't mean koa agreed with going on through the night without a piece food for him and his team. It was during the night that koa sneakingly crept past the building and snuck into the cafeteria unaware that a certain doctor was watching his every move.
Koa let out a simple chuckle reminiscing of the memory when he first met the captain keys catching him in sight. Next to him was someone around the same age as him and the others, the girl had the same hairstyle as doctor Halsey but was a lot more darker brown. The captain hadn't told anyone about what he saw and told him to take the back door.
By the time he had returned back to the bunker, koa ushered for his team to sneak up into the roof to enjoy their food. Sadly, Kurt had told him that time that it wasn't right to steal from the cooks. But koa not wanting to deal with his words just replied without a care for he did it to help his squad. Kurt being the leader of the team reminded him that he didn't want koa to steal not because what he's done isn't right but because he feared that his team would get punished again for his actions.
As he was reliving his past memories five was then brought back to reality when someone else was strolling his way. Five glances to the side seeing who the person was.
"Oi big guy. You alright? Ya look like you needed some help... Here take this." Says Zallar as held out a mug of drink for the spartan.
"Oh for the love of God. Just take the damn drink koa... It doesn't hurt to drink without your helmet on!" Deha uttered aware of how protective the Spartan's are of keeping their helmet on.
"Don't ya worry big man, it ain't no ale... I figured long ago that you aren't a fan of ale. Or what that Sims man said alcohol." Zallar says nonchalantly.
"Okay, thank you." Five said as he took the mug.
Before he could take a sip, five set the mug on the counter table near him. Next he reaches up and takes out deha's chip and held it within his hands careful not to crush it by accident. Afterwards he waited till he hears a sudden hiss. The front side of his helmet slowly opens out and followed by lower parts as smokes emanating from the hisses.
After that he then gradually lifted it up and off of his head. Zallar who was watching this expressed a look of incredulity. At first he was expecting the spartan to be an orc who's too afraid to show himself to those around him. It was not just that, the dwarf also mistook him for how tall he was as one of the green and brown skin beings called orcs.
As koa held his helmet in his right he then glances down at the shorter man with an indifferent look. "Is something wrong? Is it my face that shock you?"
"So this is what you look like without your helmet!" Said someone from behind them.
Both dwarf and spartan moved as they turned to see Melvinia and one of the MI6 group. Zallar gave a simple raise of his mug in response to Sims, Park and Melvinia.
"Friends, good to see that you all are enjoying the night... I came up here for an alone time but thought that the big man here would need some drink." Zallar spoke out to them.
"Yeah, I've got to say. Down there isn't so bad, but it's not everyday you get to ride on an actual pirate ship." Uttered Sims as he came and halted next to zallar.
"You look awfully great in keeping your skin and face well suited inside all that armor spartan." Helen told him until she then notices a scar that ran down across five's left eye at only three inches. "Nice scar by the way, how did you get it?"
"A Gorilla. The beasts had the jump on me once." Five replied recalling back to when he had to fight a brute chieftain and two of its minor brute soldiers.
"Then I must say that you ser five must've been a lucky man to have survived it... Whatever happened to that gorilla?" Helen asked wanting to pass the time through the night ride on the boat.
"It died along with its brethren." Five answered with a hint of disdain towards the three brutes.
"Say, I gotta ask man. How long have you been in that thing man?" Sims says referring to the armor as he was curious of it.
"For as long as these mission continues in its course." Answered five simply not keen on taking it off as his mjolnir armor acts as like a second skin to him.
"I'm surprised you haven't suffocated in it. But I do gotta say, that helmet is pretty sick. Mind if I try it on?" Sims asked as he was intrigued by its image.
Five eyed his helmet for the moment contemplating whether he should let the man hold it or not, and seeing no problem at all for it, he finally agreed and held out for man.
"Sure," Five says waiting to see how the man would react.
His eyes widened in slight surprise as he then happily reaches forth and clasped his hands around the mjolnir helmet, after that he began lifting it off the Spartan's hand until his eyes widen in shock. "Jesus man, how heavy is this thing!"
"Fifty six pounds." Answered Five.
"I'm surprised you hadn't snapped your neck by accident in this thing." Helen says taking the turn to test how heavy it was as well.

Meanwhile, while the Spartan and Zallar were talking about trivial matters, Morgana took advantage of the opportunity to emerge from her chamber for some fresh air.
Morgana also enjoys these types of days. A place with little noise among the ocean. She looked down at the sea, where she could see the moon reflecting off of it, creating a beautiful sight of both the darkened blue sea and the light.
Morgana notices something unusual about one of the birds flying over the ship while stargazing. That one bird did not follow after its flocks, which were still flying. It slowed its flight and flew down to her location.
To Her speculation it is proven correct when the black feathered raven transformed from its small form to the body of an elderly man in his sixties. His hair was curly grey and as long as that of a woman. His eyes were rugged and tired, which she assumed was due to him having to fly for a couple hours without rest.
His robe was as green as the many forests of Vahrian. He wore a brown and white tunic shirt and dark brown leather pants under his robe. In the old man one hand he holds a staff that is seven feet taller then he was in height.
Morgana smiles happy to see an old face, one she hasn't seen in over a few years. "Hello grand elder, it is good to see you."
The wizard smiled pleased to see the woman. With the staff in his hand, he moved aside and left it to stand on its own and went to hug morgana.
"Aye. It is good to see you too little Morgan!" Exclaimed the highly spirited old man.
Morgan laughs lightly as she and the wizard departed from one another. She stepped back giving the old man some space and stares him down as she then checks him out a how he looks.
"You look like you haven't faired any better grand elder! Tell me, why have you come to my ship all this way, when I could've waited for you?" Inquired morgana.
"Oh these old man was just passing by. So I couldn't help but visit you. Is that no problem to you mage morgana." Uttered the wizard as he checks the place around him.
"Do you like it. I've design it just the way my parents advised me about. The color may seem outdated to you, but trust me. I'll get it fixed once in last ride on these old girl." Morgana says patting the pole next to her.
"Ahh, yes. It is quite amazing how well you maintained the old girl. I could have never forget the last time I and your parents last rode on her. You should congratulate her." The wizard says recalling the great adventurs he's had with the mother and father of morgana on the very ship he stood on.
Morgana just chuckles, with a light hearted laugh she sighed deeply enjoying the heart felt moment. However, her mood changed as soon as the wizard got her attention.
"You might want to take a look at this young one." The wizard uttered as he gestured for morgana to see what is occurring between the spartan and the dwarf.
"Okay, whatever you say grand elder." Morgana says.
She and the wizard quietly watched in silence as the spartan reaches up and begins to deliberately remove his helmet. Morgana had to admit that these would have to be the very first time she would have the chance of seeing what ser five look like without his helmet... Be that as it may, what she didn't expect was the face of the man.
She took a step back, hands off the edge, keeping her gaze fixed on the Spartan. "What!... What is the meaning of this!?"
"I figured this is how you would have reacted at this very moment." The wizard says understanding what was going on through the woman's mind.
"This must be some kind of trickery! "Wh-Why does he look like my father!?" Morgana exclaimed, surprised, because she could not believe what she was seeing right now.
"Be calm, child." The wizard told her, only to be met with a puzzled look.
"You do not appear to be surprised by this old man!" morgana says suspicious of the fact that the elder wizard wasn't as shocked as she was.
"I had a feeling that I would eventually encounter questions such yours." Uttered the wizard as he ran his hand down and through his beard.
Instead of questioning him on the matter morgana just had her hands on her waist while having to await the old man's answer to this. "Explain yourself old man!?"
"By the time I had awoken from my slumber I had sensed a disturbance in the known void. So, I did what I thought was best. I went looking. But the empress seeing that I awakened, she asked me to search for a certain individual,"
"The spartan?" Morgana cut in arms crossed as her right brow raised.
"Correct... I'm sure you've already heard of the many villages and town that ser five had saved. Well let's just say his great deeds didn't go unnoticed by the kingdoms who's lands resides over them. One of those kingdoms to be exact was lord vellex. King of one of the ten kingdoms who's ally of the empress. It was he who told her about the spartan... The empress wasnt as intrigued of it at first, however. That changed when one of the caravans heading to the earthren proved lord vellex words to be true. And so the empress has tasked me to keep a close watch on the spartan." the wizard told her as he and morgana took a glance at five.
"And the spartan. How did you suspected that he looked like my father?" Asked morgana.
"It is quite obvious. He removed his helmet once, and I saw it. I was stunned to see him for the rest of that moment. Indeed, he bears a striking resemblance to your father, but it is undoubtedly not the same one. The greythrien I am familiar with is not very tall. However, his entire body and face were hidden by armor."
"That is true. My father has quite the fond for armor." Commented morgana.
"yes." Added the wizard as he stopped and reached into his robe and pulled something out. "The main reason I came by was to give you this."
Morgana stared down at the object in his hand. Within it was a crystal like necklace formed inside a metal like tree. She reaches forth and picks it up from the wizards palm.
"This is my mother's! How did you get it?" Inquired Morgana.
"What do you child. She gave it to me. Your mother requested of me to hand this over to you... She said that you might run into some trouble and wanted to give you a necklace able to assist you in anything dangerous." Responded the wizard nonchalantly.
"My father made this for her once. Why would she all of a sudden give this to me?"
"Isn't it clear. She cares about you, and wanted nothing but the best for you child." Answered the wizard.
Her hand clasped around the necklace and then started to put it on over her head. "Thank you grand elder. You have no idea how much this means to me."
"Oh dear, no need to be greatful. I only did this cause I care... Besides, your mother forced me to do so. That woman can sometimes be very mean." Remarked the wizard.
Morgana smiles as she couldn't help but be acceptive of the fact that he was right about the wizard's statement. "That is very true of her."
"You are right about th-
*BOOM!*
"Pirates!" One of the crew alerted.
The wizard and that of morgana both looked to the left. From that point on, they were able to see over three pirate ships, all of which were aiming for a smaller vessel. The aforementioned small ship was making every effort to evade being hit by its assailants.
Something is running toward Morgana, and they hear footsteps approaching them.
Captain We got pirates! They're targeting a small ship heading out way!... What are your orders!?" A crew member told her, gasping in and out as he struggled to breathe.
"Alright. Wake the entire crew up. Alert them of the attackers. We will have to deal with these damn pirates!" Morgana says as she trekked towards the wheel.
"Do you require assistance from me child?" The wizard says as his gazes went to where the numerous number of pirates was as it headed their way.
"Yes old man!" Shouts morgana in response as she conjured small arrows from the woods around her, aftetwards she thrusted her arm out towards one of the ships.
The wizard smiled wickedly and simply trekked towards the edge where he could see to the bottom as the seas pushes against the lower deck of the ship. He took a glance at his staff and chuckles, with a single utter of words he then pointed his staff forward. With it a tornado of wind, a strong one at that formed a straight line that when it touches one of the enemy ships it easily pushes it and two other ships backward only twenty feet away from the smaller ship.
In on the surface deck one of the crews rushed to load a cannons. And on his arms was three spherical iron shaped balls all used for the cannons, all of which were the size of a basketball.
The young man was running as fast as he can, sadly he was unaware of an arrow shooting for his head. However, as fates would have it an armored hand belonging to that of the spartan reaches forth and pushes him out of the way.
The young boy let out a small yell of pain that when he fell he scraped his knees injuring him on the process as parts of his flesh was torn from his very flesh.
"Stay down kid!" Five says to him as he caught one of the arrows. Suddenly five's head turned to see a monstrous pirate climbing up, from the edge it leaped at one of the crews, a young woman to be exact. Reacting quickly five in and instant threw the arrow right at one of the enemy pirates taking him out in response.
From there on the spartan picked up a nearby barrol and tosses it at a nearby pirate smacking him right on the forehead. Beside the spartan he sees purlan summoning a fireball in between her hands, afterwards she pushes both arms forth burning one of her foes in the process. Unfortunately, she couldn't act fast enough to block one of the monsters that attempted to attack her from the blind spot.
With a quick response to that five heaved a spear from a Fallen pirate.
Purlan turned around, and from there she sees one of the pirates who was about to bring his sword down on her. However, to her surprise a spear came flying from the left and struck him right in his head.
Purlan looked to her left, in her sight was the armored figure of the spartan who was dodging and weaving from four to six other pirates. Each of the said pirates surrounded the spartan, they didn't attack yet for they didn't wanna end up like their comrades.
Unfortunately, one of them chose a better chance and went to stab his foe. But to his shock his foe, or the spartan that is quickly shifted away to his left and began killing off two of them.
One of the four other pirates. The taller one to be exact that stands at seven foot four. These one wasn't human, but was a humanoid monster, and in his right he wielded a battle axe and roared out to the spartan in a battle cry. However, five didn't allow him to continue on any further as he punches the jaw off one of its own allies and threw it at the tall creature.
The monster without care for his own comrade pushes aside the dead corpse. It stood there for a second watching as the spartan proceeds to kill of one of its own allies with great ease. Immediately, it dashes forth and swung at his target. However to his sudden anger it could see how the spartan, or five that is pulled his arm back, and with Immediate power the punch sent his head flying.
"Koa! You need to take out the other ships. If they keep firing on the ship, we won't be able to hold them off any longer!" Warned Deha.
Five didn't stop in his pursuit and immediately left to do as she told. He turned to the side, and from there he dashes past a couple ship crews who were slowly thwarting off the attackers by either killing or pushing them off of the ship.
As one of the pirates had just made way up he let out an Oh shocked to see the spartan hand grabbing him by the head and twisted. Five though did not stop there for he continued forth. In his view, about twenty feet away from morgana's ship he leaped towards the nearest pirate small boat while taking out as many foes as he can.
One of the pirate crew saw him effortlessly killing his own allies and heaved up his musket gun. From the head of the barrel a decent sized metal ball exited, when it does the power from which it fired was extremely ugly. For before it came into contact with its main target, the spartan picked up one of the pirates and uses him as a meat shield standing there watching as the metal ball pushes right through the pirates skull head.
Seeing that there were no life in the dead pirates eyes, five then tossed the lifeless body right at the shooter knocking him back in return.
Before his own allies could fire their own weapons the spartan sped towards them slicing and and cutting them down while allowing the crew on morgana's ship to prepare themselves in time. He knew that not all of her crewmembers weren't awakened yet, and so the best choice he can do right now was to buy enough time for them to prepare.
From below him, one of the people that was fleeing from the pirates saw five leaping onto the closest ship. A women, who was a 21st century journalist had began recording the spartans action while he was slaying the pirates one after another. She knows that once she gets back to earth, the people there would definitely want to get in on what she and her partners had captured from this strange new world.
Though, sadly she couldn't record the spartan in what he was doing, but all she could do at the very moment was to record everything that was going on. However that didn't mean her two other partners weren't so far behind, as they too were in on the action.
Suddenly she hears a strange phenomenon. Her head tilted up, from there she witnessed an amazing view. The one and only ship that was fending off against a number of pirate ship was covered in a force-field of some kind. The cannons that were firing at the ship only bounced off and onto the ocean, the arrows and bullets that were used by small troops didn't do nothing at all too for the strange shield had thwarted off the attacks effortlessly.
The ship the journalist and her crew was on slowly came near morgana's boat. She half expected the crew on it to fire upon them, thinking they were trying to board them. However to her delightment, a man dressed in a militaristic armor, a twenty first century one to be exact. He stood there in the opened hangar ushering for the migrants and refugees alike to start swimming towards them while he and the people on the deck gave them cover fire.
She understood what the man was trying to tell them and didn't need for him to explain any further for the ship she and everyone was on couldn't continue on any longer for there was multiple holes on the back and rear side of the ship she was on.
She watches as the people on the ship began jumping off the ship one by one. All them started swimming towards the larger ship hoping to make it without getting blown to shreads by the pirates.
Her two partners who was with her hadn't jumped off yet, for they were helping those nearby them to get off, encouraging them to jump off until the very last person finally made up his mind and jumped off with his wife and kids.
Before she jumped off after them with her team, the journalist overheard an explosion. Turning around she saw as the spartan had wakened down one pirate ship by planting some sort of bomb inside the ship.
She watches as the pirate ship began to sunken deliberately as parts of its lower half began getting holes after holes as it breaks.
Suddenly her head followed after the spartan whereas he then jumped after the next pirate ship and started thwarting off any foes that tried to attack him.
"Sarren! Come on, we gotta go!" Screamed one of her partners.
The journalist quickly puts her camera including anything important inside her waterproof bag and zipped it tightly close so as to not let any water inside it. After that she ran with her two partners and leaped off the boat and dived right into the ocean water.
After that she and everyone who were still in the sea began paddling towards the ships hangar. The people who were ushering them to safety pulled the migrants and refugees alike up to safety, while some of their other allies were giving them cover by either shooting or using arrows to take down any pirates who were attempting to get their hands on one of the migrants and refugees.
When she finally made it to the hangar, sarren brought her hands up to one of the twenty first century soldiers hands and was pulled up.
"Hey, you good there miss?" Alex Mason says as he patted her on the shoulder.
Coughing sarren then nodded at the soldier and got up on her feet and and went to help one of her partners. "Yes, thanks to you guys... Tell me, who the helld are you people?"
Alex covered his face from a water splash and then responded afterwards. "You don't need to worry about that. Right now we need to help these people."
One of sarren's partners, a man around his late twenties got up and dusted off some of the minor debris off his shoulder and spoke. "Man, please tell me that was the master chief that took those pirates down."
Both Alex mason and Kaori glanced at each other then back to the journalists. "If your referring to the spartan, then I'm afraid this master chief your talking about isn't him." Says Kaori.
"He's probably another one of the spartan 2's you idiot... Master chief isn't the only one of his kind alive." A Woman said speaking up after Kaori.
"Forgive me, my partner iken is a huge halo nerd... May I know who you two are?" Sarren says hoping to know who their saviors are.
Before Alex could respond to sarren's inquiry a huge explosion once again transpired. Everyone on the hangar turned around to witnessed three other pirate ships beginning to sink into the ocean. The pirates who were all focusing on morgana's ship all suddenly stopped attacking for they were perplexed by what they were seeing...
"What is five doing that can take down that many ships?" Uttered Kaori questioningly.
"His probably enjoying this a little too much... But hey, I'm glad he was with us. I don't know what we would've done if those ships were still here." Sims says as he and one of the squad walked towards them.
"Nahhh, just be happy we don't have to do the hard work this time." Uttered Kaori as she slit her sword back into its sheath.
However, the crew on morgana's ship took this very moment and and fired upon one of the pirate ship without a second thought.
The other three remaining pirate ship witnessing one of their own allied boat sinking hurriedly tried to change direction, but to their shock the spartan leaped onto the closest ship.
The pirates who all witnessed his arrival all pulled out their swords and guns alike. Each one of them stood there waiting to see who attacks first. And to their apprehension, one pirate oblige and went in to attack by thrusting his sword forth.
Sadly it couldn't come into contact fifteen inches with five's chest plated armor. Acting out of instinct, five simply caught the head of the sword and then pulled the humanoid pirate towards him and pulled his right arm back, after that he followed with a straight punch through the pirate's chest. His fist could feel how center of the pirates bones cracked with ease, while the organs along with lungs and heart couldn't help the pirate anymore.
A man from the side saw this and rushed to attack the giant from its blind spot, unfortunately five had already calculated the attacks within mere moments all before he landed.
His right arm came up and smacked the knife out of the young man's hand. The boy expected to be killed off right there on the spot... However to his sudden shock, the spartan just stared down and ignored him, disregarding his presence.
The young man gritted his teeth and grabbed the nearest weapon, he was about to get up and attack the spartan but five simply spoken.
"Stay down, kid. I know you did not sign up for this. If you value your life, you should stand down." Five told him, and he looked around at everyone who was standing there and watching him. "That goes for all of you! If you want to live to see another day, I recommend you put down your weapons. And I will let you live."
"Your choice!"
Because some of the people were standing there doing nothing, five realized that the vast majority of them were not actual pirates, but rather a group of slaves who had most likely been captured. Five waited to see what their decision would be after they realized what was going through their minds.
And, as expected from some of the pirates, the Spartan could tell who was in charge of the entire operation. The said leader strolled out into the opening, revealing himself to be somewhat of a self asserting man.
His outfit was nearly spotless, with black feathers neatly attached to both shoulders of his dark black cloak. His long sleeve leather tunic did not lag far behind the rest of his looks because his pants and boots were the same color. However, what distinguishes the man's entire image is his skull-like mask. The Spartan can tell right away that the mask the man was wearing was clearly not human, because the top part of his mouth connected to the bottom.
As he glared at the Spartan, the masked man's eyes glowed with a yellow tinge. His expression was one of hatred and extreme abhorrence, and as he took one last step he eventually came to a halt.
"You'll pay for destroying my ships." The masked man spoke loudly but received no response. And so he spoke up again, enraged. "So you won't spe-
"I assume you are in charge of this entire operation." Five said cutting the man off.
The pirate leader gritted his teeth, facial expression turned into that of someone angered for being ignored and pointed at the spartan with his sword. "I am you greasy inbred. And seeing as you have massacred my entire fleet, I Malkron will make sure to put your head on a pike and show it to the eyes of those as a warning to anyone who dares to oppose me!"
"Man! Get him. And bring me his head. Any who manages slay these mongrel will earn fifteen gold coins from my own pouch!" Announced malkron.
The people who were surrounding the Spartan had not moved yet, but a single shot in the sky from Malkrons causes them to rush five out of instinct. Some did it for money, while others did it to avoid being killed by the boss. While a small number did it out of survival, they were afraid of the consequences of refusing to follow his orders. Unfortunately, despite their belief that they are the ones to slay the armored figure, all they manage to do is hit an invisible shield that glowed gold as a result of the impact.
In response to their attack, five instinctively charged them. The one closest to him came to a halt, but the spartan just leg sweeped him on his back. Behind him, a woman came with her spear aimed for his back, but the spartan caught the side of the spear before the woman could even see what happened afterwards, as five began putting pressure on the head of the weapon till he hears a shattering crush.
Before she could react, five apprehended her by simply pulling the whole staff handle of the spear out of her hands and uses it to block an arrow from one of the archers. The two shooters were both surprised by that as they hadn't expected him to react that fast. And so the two quickly went to reload, sadly, they didn't get the chance to do so when five heaved up a bag the size of small hous dog, after that he throws it at them, when the bag touched the two they were immediately met with an extremely large dusts of flour as it flowed everywhere of their position.
His head turned tonthe left and tilting it to the side dodging a bullet from malkron who had pulled the trigger.
Five stood on guard, waiting to see if they would attack... Then, just as he was about to go where a grinning Malkron was, something else happened: a large grey silhouette appeared beneath him, just in time for him to move away from the trap.
Appearing infront of the spartan was a monstrous creature, it stood up at nearly the same hight as one of his spartan sister, Linda sierra-058 who stands at seven foot tall in armor. These shark like man creature let out a loud roar as his own saliva flew out all over his front while some were dripping down onto the floor.
The spartan pulls out his combat knife, implying that he was acceptive of the challenge ahead of him. What felt like minutes to those around the two of them was only less then thirty seconds, until finally, the humanoid creature acted first. From both of its own hands he held two weapons, one a metal club, as the other was made of a fish hook.
As the shark man approached him, five performed a great defensive action, allowing him to dodge a swipe from an overhand swing of his fish hook. As it came for his head a second time, the Spartan brought his armored hand up and used it as a way to deflect the strike away, followed by a straight punch to the left side of his opponent's maw, causing him to fall down.
Those who were watching were in shock of what they've seen. Not one of them in this very boat was able to go hand to hand with their best warrior. Even their leader sometimes uses the creature as his own personal bodyguard for wherever he goes during a small skirmishes whether it was raiding a village or small town.
However, these men, no, these knight of a goleml ook alike who towered over Jakawn, outperformed him in terms of skill and speed. Not that they do not blame the Spartan, as they all know that jakawn in most of his fight relies mainly on his strength and size as a way to overpower his foes.
Jakawn had his hand on his jaw, he felt how hard the spartan had punched him and somehow he couldn't help but tell that his opponent wasn't using all of his power. These pissed him off greatly, he was always the one to stand over his enemies, looking down at them at how weak they are to him. Yet these so called spartan he's heard of before was able to hold his ground against him.
That doesn't mean he was of his opponent, he has fought beings that towered over both him and the spartan. Yet, here he was, getting up to continue the fight once more.
As he stood up on his full height of six foot nine, Jakawn was prepared to go on a second round against five, but be that as it may, he caught sight of his leader, his captain fleeing into a portal of black circle.
He felt anger beginning to rise within himself. He has fought for the man, slaughtered enemies and foes alike to protect his leader. Yet here he was, being left behind by his very captain. Nevertheless, that didn't mean he was going to give up.
"Last chance. Stand down." Five this time said sternly.
Instead of answering to the Spartan's words, jakawn leaped at him shouting in a war cry. Five sees this coming, and not wanting to waste his time any longer he pulls out his M33-Revolver, with a single bang transpiring throughout the boat everyone else was at awe of what they've witnessed. They watched as jakawn dropped both his club and fishhook sword. Yet in spite of all that, he made one last effort by planting one foot down and launches himself at the spartan.
Sadly he never got the chance to do so as five pointed his revolver where the center of his head is and pulled the trigger once again followed by an ugly sight. Not a moment later, everyone else saw as the headless body of jakawn laid there on the ground.
The pirates and slaves alike stood there in dreaded terror. They didn't know what else to do now that they know their leader has left them behind to die by the very hands of these being. Suddenly, they all shifted in fear when the spartan turned their way.
"Five. This is Carly. Do you copy!" The Oni agent said speaking to the spartan from her coms.
"This is sierra zero zero five. I hear you ma'am. Over." Five responded while he still had his attention on his surroundings.
"It's good to know that you are alive. We had thought you fell into the bottom of the ocean when those ships sank... I assume you want us to sink the one you are in?" Carly asked as she was staring at the pirate ship the spartan was clearly in.
"Negative ma'am. Most of the people in these ship is filled with slaves. There's even children's amongst them." Five replied nonchalantly having a pretty good guess that she would change her mind.
"Damn!..." Carly muttered in a curse from her end of the side as she sighed deeply and spoke once more. "I'll let morgana know of it. But I want you to keep those people busy, make sure that they aren't up to anything at all. I'll see if I can have morgana's people board it and deal with them."
"Copy that." Five said responding to her as he ended the conversation there and steps forth to speak.
"Which one of you is the apparent leader of this ship!?" Inquired five as he looked around at all of them, already aware of their previous captain that had fled the scene earlier.
Between a couple of pirates, an elderly man walked out slowly to where he then stopped six feet away from the spartan. "I am. What is it you desire for us to do stranger!?"
"You will need to dock these ship near the bigger boat over there. The captain of it will have some of her crewmembers come and check you all out, including every part of it, inside and out." Five said explaining to the old man as he can clearly see the disapproval amongst one of the pirates around the deck, even with an addition of some of the slaves as well.
"Why would we let you and your crew of scoundrels board our ship?" A pirate spoke out in rejection of the Spartan.
"I advised you to accept that offer, because if I hadn't, your ship would have been blown to shreds by the captain... That is unless you want her to change her mind." Five said to the man earning a look of censure displeasure from those standing around.
The elderly man wasn't acting out of hate to the armored being, he did so for he was well used to people who aren't always what they say they are to others, even to their own allies which was something he has been a victim to.
As the man was about to speak he suddenly felt a small hand pulling on the lower part of his tunic. And when he looks down, he sees that it was a young girl who was smiling up at him sadly.
"Please, Mr. Yolao. I don't think this stranger is lying."
"Alright little lass. I'll go with your idea." Responded Elder man yolao agreeing with her suggestion as he then turns his head back on five. "Fine, but that does not mean we'll give it up."
Five didn't gave a reply to the man, as all he did was ignored him at the moment while turning to face the other side.
Across them from thirty feet away, morgana's ship was gradually making it's way over to them as they came from further around in like a large curve.
"Uhoh. Koa, there seems to be a problem!" Deha spoke as she immediately caught something in her sensors.
Five didn't have a need for her to say any further, for as he stared put into the farthest part of the ocean. And what he seen was four helicopters and two chinooks flying over to his and the ships way.
It was pretty clear to him that these might be one of collon graves and the mi6 squads people. But on the other hand, he also assumed that it could be one of the other twenty first century people.
Glancing to his left, he saw the ship and stepped back as one of morgana's crews, two of them to be exact dropped a ten foot long wooden gangway bridge as a way for them to board the pirate ship.
As he stepped back five overheard some of the people, as well as the slaves were all in angst of fear due to the overbearing sounds of Rollerblades.
People then started acting out of dismay for they thought that the helicopters and chinooks were some sort of metal beasts coming to feasts upon them as they thought of the flying metals as beastly dragons or griffins.
"Everyone, calm yourself. These flying metals aren't here to harm nor are they intended to scare you." Five says to them in slightly stern sound of his voice.
"How are you so sure of that stranger. I've heard of how these flying monstrosities destroyed one of the pirate raiders the last day!" A pirate woman says in rebuke to his words.
"Pirate raiders!" Deha says catching up on what the woman said. "Koa, I think we might have a clue on our kidnappers who took the princess."
"Copy that. I'll have her question later. Right now, we need to deal with these people first." Five said in reply through his coms.
"Got that." Responded deha.
"I see you've already taken care of the hostiles on the ship." Russel adler spoke up as he and his crew hopped down onto the deck from the made up wooden bridge.
"I just had to tighten some loose screws. The majority of the people on these ships are slaves, with fewer being pirates." Five told him as he had already scanned the inside and outside layout of the pirate ship.
"Well, that is all thanks to you. It means we don't have to get our hands dirty." Helen park says as she scoured the place out.
"Agreed. But y'all will have to wait. One of the twenty first centuries wants to speak with five and carly here." Mason said gaining the attention of the oni agent and the spartan.
"Why, what is it they want with us?" Questioned carly, feeling apprehensive towards the new arrivals who had hopped onto the ship from the helis.
"
No need to feel all hostile ma'am. The people just needs to have a few words with the two of you." Alex mason says hoping the lady wouldn't think otherwise. While on the other side of his mind, he knows of how capable the spartan is and was hoping the woman would cooperate for she seems to be the apparent leader of their own group.
"I'd say we let them ma'am. These people seems like they just wasn't to discuss some things." Five said managing to ease the disturbed agent.
"Alright, I guess you are right about that five. What is his name Mr. Mason." Inquired carly.
"Names are Jason Hudson and a female that goes by lady maxis." Five said answering for her.
Those of russel adlers and his secretive group stared at five questioningly. They all wondering in on their minds of how he was able to tell exactly who Hudson and maxis names was. Unbeknownst to them, the spartan had one of his abilities that enables him to see the very words off of a book from a far distance at just sixty meters away. Meaning he didn't have the needs to get up close to the two newly arrivals.
Jason Hudson & Maxis
P.O.V.
Gradually making their way to the two individuals. Jason in his head was pondering on the issue of who the hell they are. He could see how his colleague maxis generally feels about the situation that they are currently in. He could understand why she is the way she is now due to the world they're in ever since they passed through the gate.
Sadly he does not Blane the woman for feeling apprehensive towards the planet and its inhabitants, cause he too have been in her shoes during the time he was deployed in the war on Vietnam, with many addition such as feeling lost in the middle of a jungle and having to fend off enemy soldiers and animals alike.
However, in his mind, jason was mainly focusing on who the person was in the heavy armor. He first thought was that the being might be some sort of robot. But the moment he laid eyes on it, he changed his speculation about it. His movement was to fluid like that of an average human being. Not only that, he could also see the weapons it carried with itself.
One was what he assumed would be a highly modified sniper rifle, the second he guessed had to be somewhat of a gun that resembles a single barrel shotgun with a few attachments sticked into the lower and upper part of it. The third weapon he guessed correctly was an assault rifle that is fairly larger then the guns he and his people wielded. Of course that doesn't mean it dwarfs other guns of the twenty first century.
Once he came near the two individuals and that of russels and his group, Jason and maxis simply introduced themselves to them.
"Good day ladies and gentlemen. I'd say it's great to see y'all, but seeing what you all have to deal with. I assumed it wasn't a better one at all." Jason spoke as he adjusted his shades.
"It is funny you say that, Hudson. I heard from HQ that you and your group had a few encounters with some evil dwarfs... Tell me, did y'all at least fair well?" Sims remarked as he and Purlan came to a halt beside the Spartan.
"I wouldn't say they were evil. It was more of a misunderstanding between one of their runaways and one of our guys who were on a scouting mission. And now one of their relatives believes we are to blame for their loved one's death." Maxis said speaking up for both of them.
"Yeah yeah, what exactly is it you want with Ms. Carly and the big guy?" Solar said asking the man.
"We only have a few questions for them, nothing serious... I hope you are up for it?" Hudson replied to the dwarf, bothered by the dwarf's abrupt interruption.
"It's okay zallar, we'll take it from here." Carly said expressing her gratitude to the dwarf for standing up for her and the Spartan.
"As you wish lass, we'll let you two have it." Replied zallar as he and group watched carly and five walking off to a few feet from where they stood.
Morgana
P.O.V.
Morgana crossed the makeshift bridge that her crew had used to board the already-captured pirate ship. Though, that didn't mean it wasn't the only one left intact, for only four more other ships was apprehended, thanks to the help of one of her soldiers that was led by her left hand maiden. Lady parrallyn.
Without her and the well trained men and woman, they wouldn't have been able to deal with the six other pirate ships. However, that didn't mean she was excluding the spartan's effort in dealing with twelve ships. If he hadn't taken care of the more heavily armed ships, she was afraid that her own ship would've been sunken by the overwhelming firepower the enemy boats.
Nevertheless, she was greatful for all the aid that the wizard and the rest of crews provided. Even including that of the foreign men and woman of the men in greens, especially that of lady Carly and her team.
Be that as it may, there was one other problem on her mind. The spartan. She may have exclude the problematic part about him from her mind during the excursion with the pirates, but that didn't mean it never left her mind completely. Mainly the reason for that was because he happens to look just like that of her father.
Faces that looked just like one another, except the high of course. Her father was six foot three, and may have worn armor like that of an outsider. But the armor that the spartan had on, far exceeded any she's seen in her life, even the weapons he seems to be carrying. Yet, despite all that she wasn't willing to accept the fact that the armored spartan was anything like her dad. Something that in a decades would not come true at anytime soon.
As she stepped foot on the pirate ship, she soon gain the attention of her crew and that of the former pirates and the once frees slaves. She glances to the side where her eyes landed on the lady Carly and ser five... But the two people she saw dropping by earlier, she assumed they were one of Ms. Parkers people.
"Who are they?" Morgana spoke up as she looked at Jason Hudson and lady maxis.
"They're one of us... They happen to catch sight of our dealings with the pirates, and was about to lend a hand." Alex mason answered.
"Heh, I wouldn't say so... Jason, the crooked bastard probably is looking to try and encourage the spartan and Carly into doing some of his dirty works for him." Frank woods says as he scoffs at the thought of Jason being a sly fox.
"I see. But I doubt that ser five and lady Carly would heed to these Jason's schemes so easily." Morgana said understanding exactly how the two had worked well together.
"What do ya'll think they're talking about?" Collon says in a Quipped.
"Probably about something secretive. Seeing as how they wanted to speak to the lady and five privately." Kaori says in a reply to Collins inquiry.
"Agreed, It seems rightly that they are." Added Melvinia.
"I agree with you Ms. Kaori." Purlan says as she hopped on over and landed in middle between her and morgana.
"Morgana. A word please!" Lady parrallyn spoke as she and two others walked towards her.
"I hear you parrallyn. But please, what you say is going to have to be heard." Responded morgana receiving a nod from her.
Parrallyn veered around taking in each faces of the individual's in her front and agreed to her captain's request. "We've manage to apprehend one of the captures... What we gotten from the prisoner may be of importance to lady carly's
Groups of mercenaries."
"Oh, have you. Please tell me." Morgana responded in hope of a good news about finding her niece elly.
"Well ma'am. The man was quite difficult to crack at first. But, after some torture, we were able to get what we wanted... You see, those who left before the dragon attacked the town appear to have abandoned their own allies. We were forced to kill one of them. However, his partner, the other raider we have imprisoned. He claims to have a quicker way in finding the other raiders and the kidnapped Princess Ella." Parrallyn told her seeing that she had those of carlys group and adlers team attention.
"Tell me what you've found." Morgana says to her as she gathered herself together.
"I wrote down everything we deemed true from the very mouth of the prisoner. We also got a map as well... Here, the piece of parchment I wrote on, and right here is the map." Parrallyn said handing over to her captain a fairly large rolled up piece of paper.
Holding in her hand was the map she believes to be of a way to help find her niece. Morgana deeply grateful for her friend thanked her again and proceeded to unroll the three foot long squared scroll.
As morgana finally unrolled the scroll, she held it opened and read through the entire layout of the map. "These might actually be of great help in finding the princess and her friend."
"Friend?" Muttered mason in an inquiry to what Morgana said.
"My niece, with her being the daughter of a prominent queen. She was taken by the raiders, as well as her friend kraeva who tried to stop the crooks. With these map, it tells us exactly where to go next." Morgana said to herself as she got a response from Melvin is on her statement.
"Us. With all due respect lady morgana. Why appoint yourself on our quest when you have a whole ship as captain to take care of?" Questioned the elven lass.
"Because Melvinia. I'm her aunt. And as a sister to the queen lager herself. I'm one of the only people who knows how to deal with these raiders. Trust me, you'll need my aid in on these quest of yours." Answered Morgana as she also had other plans on this mission of theirs.
"And do not worry. The lady Morgana herself has appointed me as the next in line to lead the blue pearl." Parrallyn said adding in her two scents on melvinia's inquiry.
"You should learn to accept someone who's willing to offer a helping hand young elven." Remarked zallar aware of the fact that she was giving him a hateful glare and was about to smack by the back of his head of it hadn't been for collon who caught her hand.
"Woah, calm down there tiger. The dwarf was just joking around!" Collon graves told her managing to ease her temper.
"Who ya calling a dwarf! Pink skin!" Zallar let out insulting him in an exasperated fit.
"Chill man. He meant no offends on calling you a dwa- I mean a name like that." Sims said having to correct himself immediately.
"I accept your apology outworlder." Zallar replied getting a look of queries from the twenty first century folks.
"Outworlder?" Asked Kaori.
"Outworlders is the word we people of Vahrian refers to those who hails from realms beyond ours." Melvinia said answering her.
"Ahhh, I see!" Said a realization park.
"Oh, heads up... Looks like Carly and five are done speaking with Hudson and maxis!" Called Sims as he and everyone watched them coming their way.
Five. P.O.V.
As the spartan arrived with the three others, he could see the groups acting different then he usually sees them as.
Zallar along with melvinia and collon weren't so far behind. But those like Helen park and her crew were indifferent as they all looked at the four of them.
"We believe we got what we needed from your two new friends adler... Please, treat them nicely. And perhaps I might drop something off for the many of you." Hudson says as he shook hands with the mi6 group and did so too with carlys team as he then left after that.
"Here, take this. Y'all might need it!" Maxis said tossing over to them a metal box.
"Morgana, is something wrong?" Asked carly pondering on what it is that's bothering her.
"Yes, I am fine. Thank you for your concerns Ms. Carly." Answered morgana as she avoided eye contact with the spartan even though he was wearing his mjolnir helmet concealing his face. "Come on, we'll have to return to our ship before sunrise.
