Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 5

You were hardly running dear.

=He shrugs=

Alright.
Bumped into you.

=He removes his helmet and latches it onto his armour=

=His eyes flash white for an instant, quickly returning red=
=He smiles at her=

=He lifts her up onto her feet=

There we go.
It feels as though I had been under for only an hour or so.

=He motions to the people that pass them=

I guess not.

Anyway, how are you.

I hug him, awkwardly mind with his armour on.

I'm okay, bit lost in here now

=He returns the hug, very gently=

You're a bit lost?
Want me to walk around with you?

I didn't mean like that, just there's so much changed.

=He nods=

I can agree with you on that.

=He looks around=

Hmm.

What about Dormii? Do you know where he is?

I take his hand slowly in mine

=He shakes his head=

I'm sorry.
I dont know.

=He looks as her hand slips into his=

Why?

I thought we could walk around and get used to things again.

I start to withdraw my hand

Sorry if its too much...

=He shakes his head=

No. It's fine.
We can walk around.

=He walks with her=
=Looking around, familiarizing himself with the area=

=He notices her almost skipping and smiles=

Where do you think all these people came from?

=He thinks=

Some far away place.

=He looks some of them over=

Hmm...
a prison.

=He shrugs=

Where do you think they came from?

You can't ask me. I don't know. If P was here. He'd know where they came from. He knows everything.

On the word everything i make a rainbow-like gesture with my hands

Hmm.
This all knowing being sounds interesting.

=He laughs a bit=

He built all of this.

I gesture to my robotics

And i'm still alive. He's great, and he has a good sense of humor. Sometimes.....

=He looks at her=

Well, he must really be technologically knowledgeable.
I think it would be great to meet him. Someday.

=He shrugs=

Could teach me a few things.

He is a forerunner AI to be fair.

I spin to face him.

No-one needs to teach you anything. You're fine as you are.

=He looks at her=

Thanks, but it would be interesting to learn what he knows.

He's very self-righteous. You'd be lucky to get anything from him

I giggle.

Giant floating ball that he is. Oh well. He could anywhere.

I sigh and step slightly closer to Draco

=He smiles=

Well, I can be very persuasive at times.

=He shrugs=

Meh, I think I'll be fine not knowing ancient knowledge.

How persuasive, exactly?

My voice goes quieter and i take another small step closer

I talked a friend out of returning to the UNSC once.
Talked that same girl into marrying me.

=He sighs=

Nothing really goes as planned though.

The words stop me in my tracks

Explain?!!

=He looks at her=

Explain what exactly?

You're engaged??!!!!!!!

= Zeru had gotten a message from Elyon saying there's people near the cryo- bay so he had decided to head there to see what was going on =

=He shakes his head=

No, not any longer.
She had passed away.

=His voice grave=

Oh...

I hug him

Are you okay?

=He returns the hug=

Yeah, I'm fine.
Thanks for being concerned.

Everyone should be. I can't imagine what thats like...

=He smiles=

Yeah.

Zayne: Oooohhhh this. This could be promising

You look....distracted?

=He places his helmet back on=
=He closes his eyes, they change to white=

Zayne: Nah, I'm not distracted. Kind of hungry though, first I've got to get back to my room. Get out of this armour.

I'll walk with you if you like, then we could and get something to eat?

=He smiles=

Zayne: Sure. That should be fun.

=He begins walking down the hall=

=His hand squeezes hers lightly=

Zayne: Yeah, All sorts of fun!

=He brings up a map of the ship and begins to head towards the living quarters=

I feel the light squeeze and the blood rush to my cheeks. I lean slightly against him as we walk

So how long ago did she.....pass on?

=He thinks for a moment=
=A grin spreads on his face=

Zayne: Months ago.

=Within the mind, Draco is screaming out. Trying to have his voice heard=

Oh. It seemed a lot more recent, the way you said it.

=He stifles a laugh=

Zayne: Yeah, I can be pretty dramatic at times.

=They near his room's door and he opens it=

I'll wait out here for you to get changed then.

I smile at him and let go of his hand, turning so my back is facing his door.

=He nods=

Zayne: Alright. I'll be right back.

=He enters closing the door behind him=

You bastard.

Zayne: Awwwwww whats with the name calling.

Fuck off!

=Draco regains control=
=His head begins to pound=

=He begins to breathe heavily=
=He shakes his head as he begins to remove his armour=

=Piece by piece=
=Once finished he grabs his usual civilian outfit and his medals and commendations=

=The entire process taking awhile=
=He finally opens up the door=

Xzan became unsettled, with nothing going on. He went to what seemed like the Landing Pad or Airfield, and there were quite a few Ships. Xzan and his soldiers rudely got onboard one of them.
He started looking at the controls and started messing with the wires beneath them. His Sangheili warriors were unlocking the chains which were tied to the floor, trapping the wheels, and some were on the lookout.

Xzan was trying to hot wire the Ship. It was hard, but then again he was a Fleet Admiral, piloting was his life. Just a few more to go, there the Ship was prepared.

"Get onboard warriors!"

All of the Sangheili boarded the ship, whilst Xzan was looking over the controls, seeing which ones controlled the ships. After a few minutes he knew what he was doing, and they finally started to ascend, going really slow at first, whilst he got used to the controls.
He could see many humans below, looking and running about, he thought nothing of it.

(Rover... Yesh. Another random post.)(And yes, theyll probably be alot of random posts.)

=I woke up, smoke in front of me. My entire body hurt... Everything bit. Even bits I didn't know could hurt. I looked up, and saw what looked like the front of a Warthog lying on top of the Falcon. I rolled over, and crawled. There was a small gap, and I reached up, and tried to pull myself up. It took a few tries, but it worked. I got out and fell on the ground. There was alot of flame and smoke around, with the smell of... Burning bodies. The Pilot, was dead... And I guessed anybody else was. I staggered off, the flames dancing around. I climbed over some wreckage, and looked around. There was hardly anything in sight. I noticed that... One of the Warthogs had made it past the explosions and wreckage... There were tire tracks. So, I staggered onwards, covered in cuts, bruises and burns. It wasn't that bad...=

=He opens the door to see Shelby's back=

All done. Are you ready?
