(By the way-this story takes place after the events of Halo 3. Miranda, Johnson, and MC survived, however The Elite Shipmaster was killed by a brute cheif. The Arbiter returned to earth.)
"I now pronounce you husband and Wife"
With that, Avery Johnson and Miranda Keyes kissed passionantly in front of everyone in the cheering crowds-except the Arbiter. Cortana, noticing her freind looking sad, asked him "Arbiter, whats wrong?" Arbiter considered his answer. " Oh, nothing" he glumly repied, and trudged out of the church.
Cortana was worried about her freinds wellbeing, and asked the cheif what he thought was wrong with his ally. " Arby just feels empty after the war. He hasn't got any family left, and his best freind was horribly murdered defending him. He'll get over it in time". But Cortana wasn't so sure.
That night, she asked the cheif to check on him, just so she could rest knowing he was okay. The cheif, opening the Arbiters cell door, told Cortana that he would be fine. But he was in for an unplesant shock. The room was a mess, a picture of it's occupier, MC and Cortana that was taken after they returned to earth, was in tatters on the floor. And the Arbiter was gone.
"Master Cheif, warn Miranda and Johnson. The Arbiter has dissapeared, suspected kidnap". Cortan manadged to stammer.
"Got it" John managed to stammer in return before taikng off down the hall. Bursting into the control room, John raised the alarm. And everyone was alerted. But as usual, no one cared.
"Get up" Those words reverberated through the Arbiters mind as he lay sprawled out thrashing in the filth and durt , every part of him in pain. He felt pathetic. After a while, he was lifted up, and beat round the head, before someone said to put him down and he was dropped uncerimoniously into the dirt with his face bleeding.
Opening his eyes, despite the intense pain coursing through his body, he layed eyes upon his captor, and gasped (and immeadetly wished he hadn't as his veins felt like they were about to burst). It was an Earth woman. And a beautiful one at that. "H-Hello " was all he could stutter.
As his vision became clearer, he saw that there were two Robot soilders flanking her, one with a bloodstain across it's hand where it had clubbed the Arbiter. They were both moddeled after assualt Elites.
The Earth woman kneeled down next to him. "I'm sorry about that. You were thrashing like mad and we had to calm you down. My robots take everything to far unfortunately though." We found you collapsed on the ground 12 kilometeres from here. You were begging us to kill you, but we couldn't bring ourselves too. So we brought you back here. Howeveer, my commander wouldn't let us give you any medical aid. My name is Lyon. Who are you?" The Arbiter nlymanaged to reply. "My name is Thel Vandum"
"Oh" Lyon replied, then after a few moments "It's a lovely name.". Before their conversation could continue, A small robot apperared. "Misstress Lyon?" the thing squeaked. "The Commander has approved of your request."
John-117 smashed the alien over the back of the head. The Hunter recoiled, before swinging it's huge sheild at the Cheif. Only just dodging a fatal blow, the cheif saw the blood sprouting from his left arm. Pulling out his Magnum, he vaulted over the alien's left shoulder and shot it in the weak spot. The hunter swayed a bitbefore toppling to the ground stone dead.
"Remind me again why we're fightng the Hunters?" he asked Cortana "Because we're looking for the Arbiter, and we've got to look everywhere for him. He could be seriously hurt"
"Or we could. " The cheif thought, bludgeoning another hunter round the head. As th last few aliens retreated, And Cortana couldn't help but worry for the Arbiter. "I hope he's okay." She thought.
The Arbiter opened his eyes slowly, and was relieved to find the pain had gone. Lyon was sitting on his bed. She remined him of Miranda Keyes-"Oh yes", he remembered, "Its Miranda Johnson now"-"Wake up, sleepyhead" Lyon teased. "You've been asleep for hours"
"What am I doing here" Thel responded. "We got you some rooms. The Commander allowed you that much." The Arbiter thought this over "Thank you." he said. "It's all right" she said "Get up when you want" As she left the room. The Arbiter smiled. It had just hit him. He was in love.
Part 2 coming soon.
