Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 5

(Jason)

=A few minutes after I left the mess, I was back on my ship. I exited the elevator onto the crew deck=

(Miranda)

He thinks I don't know how much he loves me?

(Dante)

It was not my knowledge
That it was her birthday. I will have to later

(Sarah)

=She continues swimming=

Why later...

Kid- Dont lie to me! Ive dealt with your kind before!

(Dormii)
=i manage to pass Sarah, barely=
Happy belated birthday.

=i flip and launch off the wall again=

=i look at him disgusted=

why not now!? she's right there! It's the least you could do!

(Jason)

=I heard voices coming from my room. It sounded like Miranda and Argo=

(Argo)

He does know. He only wanted you to know that he did, does, want to marry you.

(Miranda)

=I sighed a little. I decided to get up, and get a drink=

Listen, Argo, thank you for telling me. But to be honest, i think I could have done without this conversation.

(Dante)

I have something for her.
Now. Go.

(Sarah)

He has something for me?

=She smiles=

Thanks Dormii

=She continues on=

Kid- The bounty wasnt on you! It was on this ship of yours. Somebody wants it...

(Dormii)
I'd give you a gift but, uh, I'm kind of not in a position to give one, and...I don't have one.

=i smile sheepishly=
But I shall fix that soon.

Kid- Hell if i know. People have their reasons...

=He gets up off the floor=

But it looks huge from the outside. How long is this thing?

(Sarah)

=She laughs=

You dont have to do that.

=i feel terrible for yelling at him, i get out of the pool and sit on the edge, looking down=

...

he does like her...

(Miranda)

=i walked out of the room, and saw Jason, standing at the kitchen=

Jason, hey. I missed you this morning.

(Jason)

eh, you didn't miss much.

(Dormii)
Ah, but I want to. And, if your lucky, it may be non-combat related.

(Sarah)

=She continues swimming=

Yay! I hope my luck is high enough.

=She giggles=

(Dante)

Look
Like I said.
If she wants you.
I wont stand in the way.

(Dormii)
=i swim up next to her and whisper=
In fact, if it works out like I think it will, you'll be able to keep everyone you care about, close to you.

=i swim away and continue the race=

(Miranda)

=i walked over to him=

So, Argo told me about last night. That you intend to attack Vigil's base, before we get married.

(Jason)

Thanks a lot Argo! I really enjoy that i can confide in you on such personal matters!

=I sighed, and rubbed my head=

Yes, I'm planning on attacking Vigil, as soon as possible.

(Sarah)

=She pauses=

What...

=She shakes her head=
=Pushing forward=

but i know in my heart she wants you more...

=The kid becomes more relaxed, slightly=

Kid- Damn... This must be the biggest ship in the galaxy...

(Dante)

=He sighs=

Maybe I should go.

=He gets out of the pool=
=Going over to his things=
=Putting his shirt on and attaching the arm=
=He leaves his armor=
=He heads off to his room=

(Sarah)

=She sees him leave=

Hmm

=She stops=

Hey Dormii
You win.

=She begins drifting around=

(Dormii)
=i swim, a bit slower=
Aww, that's it?

=i smile, jokingly=
Good, I was starting to get tired. I do, however, declare a rematch at some point.

=i look at Talfie=
And you can be the referee.

=i look at sarah=

...

(Dante)

=He enters his room=
=He begins searching for something=

Hmm

(Sarah)

=She nods=

Okay.

=She continues drifting about=

Kid- Wait... Whats the name of that ship?



=Delta and Xazhi keep going. They are approaching the Hanger. Xazhi is humming. Delta realizes what he is humming and smiles. He begins to sing it=

Del- Something's wrong, shut the light!
Heavy thoughts tonight.
And they aren't of Snow White.

=Xazhi smiles and joins in=

Xaz- Dreams of war,
Dreams of liars,
Dreams of dragons fire!
And of things that will bite!

=They begin to sing as they climb through the wreckage=

Both- Sleep with one eye open,
Gripping your pillow tight!
Exit light!
Enter night!
take my hand,
We're off to never never-land!

(Miranda)

Are you sure that this is what you want to do? Don't you want to wait until after we get married?

(Jason)

I want to Miri, more than anything. I want to be able to walk away from this, and live with you, for the rest of my life. But there is a very fine line, between what I want to do, and what I need to do.

hey sarah, could you come here?

Kid- Woah... So the legends are true then...?


=Xazhi and Delta finally reach the Hanger of the Cobalt Moon. They begin climbing up and out into the dark and cold wastelands. They try Comming Recon-S1. It had just left the ruins with the survivors. They send a pelican back. Xazhi and Delta wait=

(Dante)

=He smiles=

There...

=He takes out a necklace=
=A necklace he was going to give to Ash when she came back=
=He sighs, looking into the crystal=

Something I found...awhile back...

(Sarah)

=She drifts over to her=

Yes, Talfie

=She giggles=

(Dormii)
=i lean back and relax, floating on the surface=


(gotta go to school, be back later)

Kid- Where i grew up, there were legends going around recently of two ships locked in eternal combat. The ships were supposed to be bigger than anything in the UNSC or Covonant, Ships built to house Gods and Kings. The kids called them the Blue Comet and the Trophaic.


=The pelican lands and picks up Xazhi and Delta. They head back to Recon-S1 before jumping back to the Comet=

do you...

=i take a deep breath=

do you like me?

=She nods=

Yes...

=She looks up at her=

Kid- First rule of Bounty Hunting. Never tell anyone who your employer is or what they want. Only complete the mission.

=He smiles, but is still a bit uneasy in the presence of a Spartan=

=i slide into the water and kiss her lips=

...

=i pull back and look at her apologeticaly (i think i spelled that right)

Kid- Im not an assistant. Im a Bounty Hunter in training. And the rules apply to me just as much as any other Bount Hunter.



=Recon-S1 docks with the Azure Comet, and unloads its troops and crew. Xazhi sighs=

Del- You okay?

Xaz- Yea. I just need a break is all...

Del- You need anything from the medbay?

Xaz- No, im good. Im going to go see how the Spartans are doing over on the Trophaeum.

Del- Ill come too. I havent been over there in a while. I think a civillain setting is just what i need to take my mind off things.

Xaz- Alright.

=They get in a pelican and head off to the Trophaeum=

=She is set into a bit of shock=
=She enjoyed it for the split second=
=However It is not like the kiss she gave Dante=

Talfie...

=She looks at her=

=The kid chuckles breifly=

Kid- No, i dont think it orks like that. Hey, wheres my armor? I left something in there.

=i look down=
