In orbit: Shadow's ship flys in orbit. Shadow walks into the bridge. Shadow: Alright, listen up bots, we have readings that this planet has a forerunner ship here. Our job is to get that ship back online. Pull a visual on the planet. <The screen pulls up the planet. Shadow looks in fear.> Shadow: No. Not them, they are here. Not the... Robot: Sir, missiles incoming! <Missiles hit Shadow's ship and falls to the planet.> Meanwhile, on Linda's ship(Venom). In the hanger: <The forerunner cruiser start to go crazy> Warning, warning, Shadow's life signs critical. Ship's power is at zero. Action must be taken. Ship's last location: Orbit of Chi Cheti IV.>

Linda was in the hangar of the frigate inspecting the weapons on one of her Pelicans that was shot in battle. It needed repairs before it could fight again. She was about to call in for the repair crew when the Forerunner ship's siren went off. She ran inside it to see what was going on. The ship was very loud, but somehow she managed to make out what it was saying. She sighed and rolled her eyes. What has he gotten himself into now? she thought. She sighed and realized that she was gonna get herself in over her head once again. She got on the COM channel and told her trainees to meet her in the hangar. Once everyone was up and ready, equipped with weapons, she got them all aboard the Forerunner ship, which was big enough to fit all of her crew. Once she turned on the ships thrusters, the obnoxios siren and warnings shut down and the ship headed on an auto-pilot course towards the last location of Shadow's ship.
*****
The ship jumped out of slip-space in orbit of Chi Cheti IV. She saw no sign of him or his ship. Now that the ship was out of auto-pilot, she decided to manually patrol the area. She searched for a while, but found nothing. Knowing that unless Shadow and his ship had desinigrated, he must be down on the planet, she headed down towards the planet's surface.

Auto-Pilot: Shadow's ship located. In sector 10-9, Shadow's life signs... can't find. Something is cloaking all signs of life in area. .......... Danger, Danger. Flood life signs 1.5 miles away from crash site. 30 minutes til flood reach the crash site.

Linda's eyes went wide. She thought the flood had been destroyed. As the auto-pilot of the ship took them down towards the planet, she turned to her troops. "Alright. Today you guys will be facing something you've never faced before. None of you has ever dealt with Flood, and I can assure you, it will be one of the most terrifying expieriences of your lives. I want you to use whatever close-range weapons you're most comfortable with. Anything you know you can use. Remember that you're my trainees, and I know you guys can handle it. Get ready to go." Her trainees got moving immediately. She sighed. She wasn't famous for her pep-talks. She only hoped that they were ready for something like this. The ship drew closer to the planet's surface...

Auto-pilot: We have reached target. You should have a visual of what remains of the ship. <The ship hovered of the crash site. The ship's remains was scattered around. Half of them on fire, half destroyed on impacted. Robots all over, looking like the dead of a battlefield. A grim site to lead people to have no hope.>

The ship finally landed where it looked like the hangar used to be. Linda and her trainees got out and began to scout out the area. Linda looked at all the "dead" robots. This guy obviously had a thing for robots. She split them into two groups of 7, that way if they didn't get out before the flood came they wouldn't be scattered all over. They made their way through the rubble, hoping they would find what they were looking for before the half-hour was up.

<A robot pops out of the cruiser and heads for Linda.> ZX09: Um, Linda is it. I am ZX09, the Auto-Pilot of your cruiser. I have made a scan of the crash site and I think I have a safe path to where shadow may be located. Please this way. <ZX09 goes to a doorway.> ZX09: Over here, follow me. <ZX09 goes through the doorway.>

Great... more robots... Linda thought to herself. She rolled her eyes and followed the robot through the door. Was everything that Shadow owned some kind of Artificial Intelligence? She stopped thinking and brought her Battle Rifle up. She didn't know what may be in here, and she wasn't about to just trust the fact that the robot said it was safe. She didn't trust robots, period.

ZX09 walks into an odd looking room with terminal in the center. ZX09: Odd, the information center is still online. Oh, we could go through that hole in the wall to reach the giga's hanger. It would be the quickest way to the bridge. Follow me please. ZX09 goes through the hole in the wall.

Linda still held her rifle up to arms. She had a weird feeling. She assumed it was just her distaste of robots, but it didn't hurt to be prepared. Even as a SPARTAN, AI's and self-thinking robots gave her the creeps. She followed the robot through the hole in the wall.

ZX09 enters the second floor hanger. ZX09: It looks like the gigas are still here... Oh no. G 004 Rex is gone. ZX09 looks up to the second floor. ZX09: Look out. From the second floor two oddly shaped robots jumped in front of Linda. The two legged robots aim the machine guns at Linda and ZX09. MR1: This is MR1, unknown personal in giga hanger. Target locked. <ROAR>

Linda rolled her eyes and took out a couple of plasma grenades. She threw them at the two robots and ducked out of the way. A few seconds later, they both exploded and the pieces flew across the room. She put her gun down slightly. She stood and stared at ZX09, who hadn't moved an inch. "What now?" she asked.

ZX09: Linda! Look out! ZX09 points behind Linda where three other MRs slowly walk to her. Suddenly a masked robot comes out and jumps on top of one of the MRs and cuts its head off with an odd looking sword. Then in a second later cuts the other two up into pieces. The robot lands in front of Linda. ?:?: Follow me, I know how to get to the bridge from here. The masked robot then walks to doorway and goes through the hall.

OOC: Really sorry, but I have to be sarcastic.... masked robot? Robots don't need masks. They're robots... they have no identity... u strange one. K I'm done now ^^
Linda sighed heavily. Why were there so many damn robots? And not just any robots, intelligent robots. She caustiously followed the "masked robot" (sorry but i have to be mean about that), making sure her battle rifle was ready to go and she had a few grenades on hand. She started thinking about her troops. She didn't know how much time had passed and the Flood were still on their way if they hadn't made it already. She only hoped that they were all ok.

OOC: I was thinking the same thing be for i read your post ^^
"I hate thees God damn robots" Tim said as he blue ones head off in frustration. "Linda we are approaching some sort of strukcher about 4 clicks to the north of the wreckage going to investigate over" Tim said over the com. I hope our luck holds out because I don't want to have to fight the Flood again. I stile have nightmares from the last time. Just then Tim hears a scream that horrible sound. Tim froze he called out to the Marians that were following him "squad report!" nothing Tim yelled again "SQUAD REPORT!" nothing. Instantly Tim knew what had made that sound that sent fear down his spine. "FLOOD!" Tim yelled over the com.

?:?: Hm, listen. If the flood is coming, I will set the power core of the ship to overload making it blow up, killing all of the flood. If you need me, call me on codec. My frequency is 134.3. Also call me by my code name, it is S-Dark. I will see you later. Good luck Spartains. <S-Dark teleports away>

"FLOOD!"
She heard Tim scream it into the mic. Her face went pale and her eyes went wide. For the first time in so long, she was truly scared. Under any other circumstance, she would go back and help her troops... maybe she would in this situation too, but something compelled her forward. Something she couldn't describe kept her moving forward throughout the ship, even though her squad was in danger. It was stupid to go into unkown territory. It was more stupid to leave your squad in a dangerous situation while going into unknown territory alone. But it was just insane to keep going when you knew your life, and more importantly the lives of your soldiers, were on the line. Linda couldn't explain what it was that kept her going, but she always trusted her instincts and she kept moving through the ship.

In the bridge... The door way leading to the opens. Behind the opened door, a spartan in black armor stand in the middle of the bridge. ?;?: What took you so long, I have been waiting forever. I didn't blow this ship out of the sky for nothing. <HAHAHAHAHA> But before we begin, I must tell you who I am. I am Light, the new emperor of the Flood.

Linda kept her face neutral. As far as all of human-kind knew, the Flood couldn't be controlled by anything but a Gravemind. Still, with the Flood being so dangerous, she didn't want to test it. She almost laughed at herself. She's worried about some so-called emperor of the Flood, but wouldn't go back her troops fighting off the Flood itself... that made a TON of sense. Regardless, she brought her Battle Rifle up to arms and prepared herself for a fight.

<Evil Grin> Light: Hahaha. If I had killed Shadow, you will not be much of a challenge. It was simple really. I fired the missile that hit his ship and made it crashed into the planet. Sure I could not find the body but who could survive a crashed. Now surrender, or you will feel the same fate as your friend.

Linda froze as her muscles coiled, preparing for a fight. She wasn't sure about this guy, but she couldn't tell if he was bluffing. Regardless, he was going to pay. She held her Battle Rifle up, aimed at his head. "Try it," she challenged him, and readied herself to dodge any attack he might throw at her.

Light: So be it. Light pulls a rail gun off his back and aims for Linda. Light: Good bye, spartian! Light goes to pull the trigger when suddenly the gun in his hand slices in two. Light: What is this?! S-Dark jumps down in front of Linda with a sword in his hands. S-Dark: Go now. Get your men out of here. I will fight him. Linda hurry, I will follow you out.

In a normal situation, Linda would never even consider taking orders from a robot, but something seemed really different, and she felt that she could trust him. She ran as fast as she could back to her troops, calling for the Pelicans over the COM.
*****
When she reached them, they were struggling to fight off swarms of Flood. Some were dead, and some had become Flood themselves. She yelled over the COM so they all could hear her, "Let's get out of here!" As if on cue, the Pelicans hovered above the ground and they all jumped in. Linda was last to get in as she turned around to look for S-Dark.

S-Dark contiues the fight above the remains of the ship, fighting two tank flood and Light. Using his sword, S-Dark cuts the tank flood into two. Light: You know you can't stop. More and flood will come and will do as such until you die. S-Dark: Then I will just have to live then. Zore, online. Out of the remains, Zore comes flying out. Zore grabs S-Dark and flys over to Linda's ships.

Linda saw them coming and knew they would follow. She turned to the pilot of the Pelican and gave him the "Good to go" signal. The Pelicans closed up and flew up to the Frigate waiting in orbit above the planet.
*****
In the Frigate: Linda and her troops exited the Pelicans and began to assess the losses. A lot of men had been lost. Linda watched as they left the hangar to sort everything out, but she stayed to wait for S-Dark. Finally, Zore pulled into the hangar and S-Dark climbed out. Linda confronted him almost immediately. Something in her mind was against her trying to reason with robots, but something in her gut told her this situation. She already noticed she refered to him as "him" instead of her usual "it." She walked up to him directly. "Okay, show's over. Now tell me who you are," she said.
