Master Chief woke up choking on an antidote. He leaned over the side of the rough bed and gagged, getting the slim out of his system. He tried to remove his hands from his sides; they wouldn't move. Master Chief noticed his hands were cuffed with a titanium rim. He took a look around the room. Test tubes, microscopes, needles and other scientist fascinated things were scattered through the room. It took only a second for Chief to figure out where he was, a science lab. The rim was plainly way weaker then Master Chief's MJOLNIR titanium type-A armor. He gave the rims a harder push up into the air. The rims rattled as they both flung into the air.
Master Chief sat up in the bed. Now to break the foot hinges. These were stronger titanium bars but his armor could still break it.
Chief gave a push with his legs. The hinges snapped back.
Master Chief stood upon the the cold stone floor. It was very cave-like and seemed like underground because of the coldness. Next to Chief's bed was a table filled with science things and documents. The table next to that was crammed with human weapons that he was very familiar with. He walked over to it. HE9 fragmentation grenades, M90 shotguns, combat knives, MA5B assault rifles, MA75 battle rifles, RV50 miniguns, M1B3 flamethrowers, STINGER grenade launcher, S9-00012 AM sniper rifle, Jackhammers, mines, mortars, M6D pistols, plasma pistols, plasma rifles, plasma cannons, needlers, Fusion rod launchers, plasma grenades, incendiary grenades, smoke grenades, gas grenades ETC, loaded the table. Chief smiled at the site and grabbed an M6D pistol and walked out.
The hallway was long and creepy. Water dripped from every corner of the cave, soaking the armor of Chief's foot. "Chief! Your here." a voice yelled from down the hall. Chief stood still and pointed the pistol in his direction. The figure ran closer. Chief scooted up the tunnel. The man came even closer to Chief. The man then fell straight to the ground face first.
Master Chief ran towards the fallen man at three KPH. Plasma came from the far end of the tunnel. Chief turned on his stomach and slid down the tunnel. He caught the man and continued to slid to the end of the tunnel.
Chief suddenly crashed into the end of the passsage. He josseled the man free.
"God, Chief it's good to have you back." the man said to Master Chief.
"Who are you?" Chief asked the man.
"Private Johnathan McDaniel." the man responded.
"Do you have any other men with you?" Chief asked.
"Yes sir, team Alpha is up above on the street waiting for me to get you out of here." the man explained.
"What happened anyway, why was a locked in a bed with test tubes all around me?" Master Chief questioned the man.
"Well, you were taken captive by the Covenant sir. They took you to their secret underground lab to get technology information from us sir. Here." the man handed him small computer. "Sergeant Phillips said to put that in the back of your neck." McDaniel said.
Chief slid the chip into a small opening in his armor. The chip gave him a charge. "Hello John." a female voice said. "Cortana?" Chief asked.
"Yes, at your service." she replied.
"I'm with Private McDaniel. I saw him running in these caves an-" the Chief stopped
"Actually, these are not caves Chief; these are sewers." Cortana interrupted.
"Okay, so where did the plasma come from?" Chief asked.
"From there!" McDaniel yelled pointing one of his smgs down another tunnel. Down the tunnel came two jackals, and four grunts.
McDaniel opened fire with his dual smgs. Two grunts crumpled up on the ground, dead. One jackal fired a small blast of plasma. The plasma carried through the air and hit McDaniel in his left arm. He dropped to the ground, shaking, and holding his bare bone.
Master Chief pulled the trigger on his M6D pistol. The bullet plunged into a third grunt's neck, as gushing blood spewed from the wound.
Master Chief dropped his pistol and grabbed McDaniel's smgs. He fired a burst of one. It turned the last grunt into cottage cheese as it fell to the floor.
Chief fired both of his guns, disabaling the jackals shield. Chief then ran up to it and kicked it in it's ribs, breaking the rib cage. He lifted his head up and punched the last jackal in the jaw, breaking it.
"McDaniel, he's..Dead." Cortana sadly said.
