Chp 7: Logan snuffed the air, and sensing no danger, moved forward. All he could really tell was something was wrong, a feeling of dread mixed with—being watched? As he went room to room and further down the hall, the past days battles finally took their toll, forcing our hero to rest. As he lay down, he was suddenly given a very vivid dream—
A circle of men in archaic robes and weaponry, giving him his task. A man in white robes, and a blonde man, having a very long discussion on where to send him, all as a figure with pointy ears listened. The blonde man gesturing to the portal generator, and then saying “Beam him out, Scotty.” Then, blackness.
Logan awoke with a start for two reasons: the air around him held a faint scent, and he remembered—everything he needed to complete his mission. The door opened at his command, and he maneuvered further down the hall to another doorway, only this one was blocked. Seven spartan lll’s were in his way, all of them glowing a sickly fluorescent green and wielding green energy swords. The one in Operator armor stepped forward and said, “We are ordered not to let you rasped, unless you beat us in combat.” Logan drew his claws—and the Spartans lunged as one.
Logan dodged as best he could, but every time he was wounded the wounds didn’t heal. Then, he knocked an infected down, and his wound from that one healed. He did it again and again, until only he and the leader were left. “You have proven yourself worthy, and may pass.” Logan stepped around the infected, claws drawn, until he was through the doorway. Not a single spartan budged. He moved forward, down another hall, until he could sense the portal again. ‘Beware the Red’ a voice whispered. Logan froze and looked around, but there was no one to be seen. He pressed on, and finally entered the portal chamber, only to see a force of Promethean soldiers blocking his path. And there, at the top of a lift, were both the portal and...a spartan in mismatched red armor. “BEHOLD! I, SPARTACUS, SHALL BE YOUR DOOM!” The rogue spartan pressed a button, and the promethians fires as one.
All the old man could do was dodge and slice for a little bit. One soldier fired an incineration cannon at him, missed, and sent bloks flying everywhere. One blok slammed into the lift control, and down it went. As the last soldier fell, the rogue spartan gathered his weapons,(a brute shot and a gravity hammer), and began firing at Logan. BOOM! A near miss ended up taking out another wall. CRASH! A soldier went flying into the other side of the room. Then-CLICK-the brute shot was empty. “Time to do this the old fashioned way then,” Spartacus said. He then slammed his hammer into Logan, and sent him right into a pile of soldiers and weapons. “YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF-AUUGH!” Spartacus fell to to the ground as his shield dropped, and his hammer went flying. Logan stood there, a scatter shot in each hand, then tossed them and headed to the spartan and the porta. “This is only the beginning for you—” the Spartan said as he pulled out a red coin and threw it into the portal. The portal then glowed—red? ‘Forerunner portals don’t do that—” Logan thought as the spartan lunged into it. “NO!” The Wolveriene jumped into the portal, but it changed back to blue____and then there was only blackness.
“Get up you lazy cur!” A gruff voice yelled as Logan was poked into consciousness. “Get up or I shall have your head!” He awoke to see—an orc? “Patience Ragerock, can’t you see he’s old?” A snooty elven priest looked him over, checking for injuries. “He clearly has come a long way—but for what, pray tell?” The orc looked him over as well. “Valoren, I care not where he came from: a human is a human, and they still gather much money from the dark ladies’ bounty’s. He comes with us!” Logan sat up, but the last things he saw were a Horde zepplin—with a red flag. Oh, and Ragerock green fist slamming into his head before utter darkness.
