Ok I know I haven't posted for a while sorry if you missed me if not that's your problem
Fire burned through him as the cruel touch of the torturer burned his skin with agony and, the pain from his failure sent arcs of ice through the fire. The elite stood above him yelling questions at him that failed to get through the feeling of defeat. "Where is your base infidel?"
The elite roared at him. He was still trying to bring himself above his defeat to offer a retort when the elite punched him in the gut. "The infidel will not talk bring his brethren so that I may question them" the torturer said to another. When the elite moved forward and unlocked the restraints he expected the spec op marine to be weak. When unlocked the first thing Greg did was pretend to slump forward then pivoted with a lightning fast punch aimed at the elites face. The elite rocked back while bleeding from the face suddenly the marine was unconscious as the torturer used a shocker to stun him.
He stared out the field as the covenant patrolled the cell block between him and David looking to the left he saw Sam then finally the imprisoned snipers. "Take the Female" The elite yelled. "So you bastards couldn't handle us so ya decide to torture the girl" Sam said. "Shut up I can handle myself" she yelled back. "He has a point" Greg replied. The elites then started trying to maintain order "Silence if you shall speak it will be to the interrogator" an elite yelled. "Shut up squid head you probably couldn't handle one of those grunts without your shields or weap-" Greg was saying when the stun fields were activated.
"Well that didn't work" said Sam quietly as the grunts slept. "Quiet I have a hangover" David said as he massaged his eyes. "How we haven't had alcohol since pretty much we joined the marines" Greg whispered. "Oh so that was a day dream" David replied. If his internal clock is working it was definitely time for sleep but he was reluctant to so soon after the stunner and because of the dreams that were sure to follow.
The sky turned a blood red and he saw all those friends that had died all those body bags with people inside and five empty graves. People started to gather he approached them "Where am I... What's going on" he said to those who passed. They gathered around one grave and as if on cue a single elite who looked blood red but, as he drew near he realized that he was covered in blood, the blood that had belonged to his friends. He saw the tombstones at the head of the first grave.
"WAKE UP" David shouted to Greg as he was thrashing around in his sleep. The others sat silent in their cells. "Damn he's a heavy sleeper" said David an hour later "but ya have to wonder where the guards went." They sat there for what seemed like hours before Sam asked "how'd he get that way." The marine sat as he contemplated the best way to answer finally he made up his mind. "It's all because of a single Elite… it killed his entire family, his friends from home except me even and the first friend he's had since they glassed his home planet. It's been hunting him ever since." The room seemed quieter then it was before then everyone's gaze fell on him twitching in his sleep. Then one of his flailing arms hit the field the blocked off the cell from the rest of the room. A mild electric shock ran through him he, immediately sat up and David said as soon as he was up "As soon as we get to base I'm finding you a psychiatrist." Before Greg could answer a Longsword fighter crashed through the ceiling, wreckage barely missing the POW's when the pilot and crew burst out with smg's.
The fields suddenly shut off as the circuit feeding them was interrupted and the marines jumped out as quickly as possible. One of the three crewmen said "Get Daniel down here he's the pilot and we need him to pilot a covenant phantom out." The Co-pilot nodded then ran into the Longsword a little later they heard Daniel "NO WAY were in the middle of a covenant ship there's covenant out there they'll kill me for ruining there cruiser." Then they heard someone laughing the marines turned and it was her while she was laughing at the cowardice of the pilot Greg whispered to the marines closest him "Does anyone know her name?" They all shook their heads. While they were talking the crew took up defensive positions and who seemed to be commanding them ran up to the marines. "My names Spencer we can give four of you pistols one of you will have to take a covenant weapon" he said in a slight British accent. "I'll go without a weapon for now" said Greg. At that time Daniel came down and upon seeing her he burst out saying "I told you it was a good idea trying to free POW's" he said then drew up to her and said "say since I saved you do I get to know your name." "CONTACT" yelled a crewman watching the door as aliens poured through it.
