Zommilie had agreed to take the commander to his team with plenty of friendly Elite escorts.
"When we arrive at my squad you should let me do the explaining Noozamilie", I implied.
"Agreed, you will do the talking, but what if your team resists"? "You let me worry about that". I yelled over the sudden uprising in commotion of the elite crew. I then found out what all of the commotion was.
Just bellow the Phantom where roughly fifteen of my original thirty men team warding of a wave of what looked like balloons.
"Warriors prepare to help our new brothers ward off this infestation". Noozamilie commanded of his Elites at attention. The Phantom opened fire on the flood carefully hitting the flood only, as the Elites and the commander were deployed out of the Phantoms grav lift.
I started looking for the second in command of my men and the assault stopped. The infection forms disappeared. I found second in command of my hell jumpers Lieutenant Jessica Hallway, and explained the current situation with the Elites sudden "change of heart" The lieutenant had the same thoughts as I had when Noozamilie asked for my help. The Lieutenant agreed due to their current situation on this flood breeding ground.
No sooner had she agreed a huge carrier form fell out of no where and exploded harmlessly, but replaced two of the infection forms, which were easily delt with until we realized here it had fallen from. One of the In amber Clad's pelicans were hovering roughly thirty feet over head packed full of all sorts of flood bastards.
"ODST's lets haul ass and jump in our new friends ride that's an order to, no complaining!" I screamed.
It was one cramped ride back to the Elites LZ but it was better than walking. On the trip back the I couldn't help but over hear two of my men talking about whether or not to trust the new alliance. I walked over to the jumpers and told them what Zommilie had told me.
"Listen hell jumpers the commander of these Elites had told me if we help them get revenge on the Brutes for killing their brothers then he agreed to take his entire fleet to earth, link-up with the human fleet, and fight to the death protecting our world. So in other words if you want to keep your current jobs and not be vehicle repair boy than shut the mouth's and show some restraint!"
The disgruntled marines managed a shallow, "Yes sir!"
The Phantom touched down in the LZ and everyone unloaded from the Phantom. I wondered where the flood had manage to steal that pelican. I asked the commander if she knew what had happened.
"Commander I thought you had known the flood had taken over the In amber Clad. Don't worry though almost all of her crew were on Halo when they took her. Commander Keyes made it off the ship, but we have scattered reports that she is being held captive by a force of Brutes while trying to secure the Index."
This all came as a huge shock to me. The flood of all creatures took the ship.
I started towards the ancient temple where Zommilie was and told him of the current situation with our ship and my commander. He agreed that immediate action was to be takes to secure the index and my commander. Zommilie called in fifteen Phantoms along with a squad of Banshees for an escort, and headed for the control room where the Brute known a Tartarus was supposed to be with Keyes.
As we approached the control room I noticed that there was an abandoned Scarab, which looked like it had fired at the doors to force them opened. As we walked in the control room we were all stunned to find many fallen Brute copses on the floor. The Elites took deep satisfaction in the mangled messes on the floor ahead.
I could have sworn that I had heard a human voice come from one of the corridors beyond so we made our way there. As we approached the voice I was overwhelmed with joy to see Sergeant Johnson in one piece aiming at a huge Brute in the center of the platform with a shield of some sort.
"Good to see you sir!"
"The sarge said, "Right back at ya commander, where have you been? You missed one hell of a fight! Grab a Plasma sniper and help take that over powered tyrant out!"
"Hey Noozamilie lets take that thing out" I yelled.
He and his Elites were already halfway on the platform by then. Now came the thing that I loved to do snipe. It took three hits to bring the overpowering creature's shield out, but he took out six Elites during this time. Only two Elites were left Noozamilie, and an Elite with armor which I had never seen before. Johnson told me that the Elite was a good friend of his. I guessed that it must have done something good on the sarges side.
"That is the Arbiter." He said.
The Arbiter and Noozamilie attacked the Brute while his shields were down with energy swords at the ready and dropped him dead. Commander Keyes at that moment was on the platform and snatched the index. I thought good its over but then there was this rumbling sound and then Halo fired! One of my hell jumpers said "Oh man this is it we die in this ring." roughly thirty seconds later 343 Guilty Spark had said that Halo had sent out a signal for the other active rings to switch for remote activation.
Keyes asked "Where can the rings be activated from?" Keep in mind getting a straight answer from one of these things was like talking to a parrot.
Spark then said "The rings can be fired from the arch which is somewhere near your home world reclaimers!"
I then spoke, "Commander I believe we should hook up with the Elites and make an emergency jump to earth. I mean the Cole protocol was obsolete they already know where Earth is."
Keyes agreed, and Zommilie took us straight to the Destroyer Unrelenting Justice, and led a huge fleet to Earth .
