It took all of Linda's self control not to lash out at Tim. She took a few breaths then opened the COM. "Tim, with everything going on at one time, explain to me your reasonings for putting us on a time limit and blowing up Shadow's planet, because I don't quite get it," she said calmly, although nothing could keep the acid out of her tone. Tim would know he was in big trouble and Shadow would either find this situation funny, or be enraged by Tim's stupidity, although she didn't know which of the two. The accelerated the giga to get the the frigate. "And just an FYI," she said "We still have to go back and get the other troops!"

"I'm already getting the other troops" Tim said. And as for my reasoning for doing this even if we do negotiate with the Covenant there is too much Forerunner tek. to just let them walk right in and take what they want. Tim reached the stranded troops and got them back to the frigate he got out of the mek and wated for Linda. Linda was raping up and Tim was prepared to take any punishment she was going to give him. An alarm went off and a voice said 10 minuets until reactor detonation.

Shadow(angry tone): So, this is what you want Tim. I guess I have no choose. Zore! Zore transforms back into to robot form. Zore: Yes, sir. I know. Zore aims the portal beam at the frigate and fires. The frigate get sucked up into the portal and ends in the orbit of the planet. Zore then shoots at the covenant ships, teleporting them to an unknown location. Zore then lowers his weapon and just hovers there.

"Oh my f**king God..." Linda said, "Are you telling me you could have done that this WHOLE TIME and you didn't do ANYTHING?!!?!?"
There was a long akward pause.
"Ok that's it.... Screw you guys!... I'm going home!" with that Linda turned off her COM and flew towards the frigate, but slowed before she got too far. Fury didn't last very long in her system. She turned her COM back on. "Let's all get back to the frigate... we can decide what to do then." To Shadow she added, "I don't think that thing will do much more than leave a crater. It's not going to blow up your planet, but it might blow us up if we don't get out of here." The hint in her words was obvious she hoped he'd follow her, but lately she just couldn't predict what his next move would be.
Her mek landed in the frigate and she looked behind and saw that Shadow had not followed. With only 30 seconds left on the countdown timer she rushed to the window to make sure he was at least well out of range of the bomb, which, if it didn't kill the whole planet, would fry up to 100 miles within range of it.

Zore still hovering in the air... Zore: Sir, your friends are safe. Shadow: Good. What is the remaining time left? Zore: 30 seconds, sir. Shadow: Hm, it is time. Do it. Zore: Yes, sir. An odd black aura surrounds Zore. Then seconds go down. 30, 29, 28... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! The core blows, the blinding light could be seen from orbit. The sight of Shadow and Zore is lost as the explosion that covers most of the planet. When the smoke clears a dark crater on the planet. In the orbit near the frigate, Zore floats in space heading to the hanger of the frigate.

Linda saw the light of the explosion and her eyes went wide. "No!" she screamed, but she knew he wouldn't be able to hear her from space and that there was nothing she could do. Nothing could have survived that blast. Not even Shadow, who had always seemed invincible in a way. She fell to her knees, burried her face in her hands, and cried harder then she had ever cried before.
Linda didn't know how long she cried when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She could tell by the gentle way it touched her that it was a hand of comfort coming from Tim. She did not cease her crying or look up to acknowledge him, and he said nothing. He knelt by her side and held her so that she wouldn't feel alone as her heart screamed its pain and loss.

The monitor hovers in front of Linda. 213: Excuse me Spartian, but... The monitor turns to the window. 213: isn't that that Zore over there. The monitor was right. Zore was floating in space, almost near the hanger of the frigate.

Tim stood up and looked out the window. He started to laugh historically and got on the COM. Shadow you crazy ass bastard we thought you were dead. Tim terned and saw that Linda looked livid but at the same time relieved.

There was no reply. Suddenly the monitor goes crazy. 213: Zore is not giving a signal. His power must be gone. He can recharge but for Shadow's sake, we need those two in the ship now!

Linda got on the COM with the man in charge of the ship functions. "Do we have a tractor beam strong enough to pull the mek out there?" she asked him.
"Yes ma'am." he replied.
"Do it," she ordered.
Just then, a marine walked in. "I hate to bother you ma'am, but Onyx is requesting your presence."
Linda's eyes went wide. "He's awake?" she asked him.
"Yes ma'am, but he doesn't seem to know what happened."
Linda turned to Tim. "Tell me what happens. And please, don't do anything rash." She knew he's understand. He was to take care of the Shadow situation. She trusted that he would keep himself in check, for her sake if not anything else. She made her way to the medical bay, where she knew Onyx would be.
She walked into the room where Onyx was being kept. He looked up to see her, but before he had a chance to speak, Linda explained his current condition. "You were found lying on the floor of your cell unconcious. You were still alive, but just barely. We suspect from nicotine withdrawal. As it turns out, you've been asleep since then, in a coma. We didn't expect you to wake up." She waited for the news to sink in and for Onyx's questions.

"Now you didn't expect us to let you keep your weapons with you in here, did you? What if you woke up and one of the doctors was in here and you didn't understand, so you attacked him?" Linda explained. "And Tim is working on the problem with Shadow," she answered to the second part of his question.

Meanwhile... The tractor beam pulls Zore in the hanger and falls with a thud. The monitor rushes into the hanger. The monitor hovers around Zore. He then turns to Tim and says... 213: Zore has taken few damages but we need to get Shadow out of there. The monitor then turns around and hit Zore with a beam, trying to restore his power. 213: This make take a few minutes. Just stand back and let me do this.

Onyx enters the hanger. He sees Zore and runs over to the mek. Onyx: Hey forerunner dude, Are you in there? Are you ok?

Linda had entered with Onyx. Though she did trust him, he was as much a loose cannon as Tim, if not more, and he was a prisoner. By protocol, he was to be supervised at all times unless he was in his cell. She walked up to see the monitor working on the Mek. "Is he ok?" she asked in an anxious tone. Now that she didn't have any other matters to distract her, the worried feelings flooded back to her in a sudden rush.

213: Hold on, almost there. Suddenly the hatch opens and the cockpit come out of Zore. 213: Yes it worked, now to open the cockpit. 213 shoot the cockpit and it opens. It then show Shadow unconscious in the seat.

Linda grabbed him and pulled him out of the cockpit as Tim got on the COM to call for medical help. Linda pulled him out of the cockpit onto the floor of the hangar. She leaned over him to make sure he was breathing and check his pulse. She wasn't going to just take Onyx's word for it. She had to make sure. To her great relief he was breathing, slowly and irreguraly, but breathing. His heartbeat was out of rythym, but beating just the same. She stayed right next to him as the marines carried him to the medical bay on the stretcher.

The monitor hovered around talking to the marines. 213: Careful, he is the last of his kind. You must take great care.

For the next few days, Linda would not leave Shadow's side. The doctors had been trying to bring him back to conciousness, but nothing was working. They just didn't know enough about the Forerunner who, while similar to people, were very different. One day, as she was standing above him, one of the doctors came in. She looked to him with hope, but he just shook his hand. He needn't say anything. She understood. Despite the fact that others were around her, she did not manage to hold back a tear. It fell down her face and landed on Shadow. Suddenly, Shadow's eyes opened. Linda's heart skipped a beat and it took all her willpower not to embrace him in a giant hug that could probably strangle him.

Shadow looks up at Linda. Shadow: Just like the day we met. Shadow gets up to sit on the bed. Shadow: So, what has been going on?
