Blood Band Brothers

[Dark_Lady]

Jynn muttered a curse under her breath, then turned to Cyphon as he screamed, and knelt down beside him.

 

"Shh," she whispered softly. She took her gloves off and ran her hand over his forehead. "It's alright."

 

He's not doing too well, she thought. And not just physically. She winced as his emotions came over her like a flood.

[Master_Archon]

Ten minutes later the small alien came back, and he wasn't carrying the blaster rifle anymore, he seemed much more happy, and hyper than before. "Me can help now, me can help!" He said to Jynn.

[Dark_Lady]

"Good," Jynn said, a little relieved that he hadn't just run off. "We need to try to get him back to our ship, but I'm not sure how. Is there anything on this ship we could move him with?" She didn't want to carry Cyphon that far, since that would most likely seriously traumatize his condition.

[Master_Archon]

"Me no have anything to carry him on, me do have Jhon," he said happily. Then from around the corner came another alien, but different; taller, thinner, more muscular build, and the most promonent, a split, or multy jaw. He was obviously the same species as the dead alien they had found, but his armor was more well kept, and was soot black. He stood only just a little taller than Cyphon, around 7' 2 or 3", and held the blaster rifle, at his side was a blue device, obviously a weapon, like what the small one carried, but different.

 

"Humans! Ah, Geag, you said nothing of humans," he said to the little alien.

 

"You never ask," it replied earnestly. The big one, obviously named Jhon, just shook his head.

 

"Yet more, it's a female, what trouble you bring Geag. But, it is unarmed, and the war is over, there is no point in killing them," it said studying Jynn from the entrance of the cell. Then looking over he saw Cyphon's blaster rifler laying next to him, "Geag, grab that!" He exclaimed, the little alien reacting with surprising reflexes.

 

Jhon studied Cyphon, not noticing his wounds; turning his attention from Jynn to Cyphon, and back over a couple times, seeing Jynn so close to Cyphon, and stroking his forehead, he said, "Come Geag, you were mistaken, they are not hurt; it is obvious they are in their mating cycle," he said, not knowing too much on human anatomy, this was the only thing he could assume from what he saw. Turning, they started to leave.

[Dark_Lady]

"Wait a minute!" Jynn shouted. "The hell are you talking about?" She almost started laughing at the aliens strange misconception. Dropping her voice to a more normal tone, she continued. "He really is hurt, and we are not... in our 'mating cycle.' I'm just trying to calm him down so he doesn't injure himself further by moving again."

 

There was a war? she thought in minor confusion. I never heard of it. Oh well. It doesn't matter right now.

[Master_Archon]

Jhon halted, turning he stared more carefully at Cyphon, then a look of embaressment came across his face, "oh, I see, sorry, my eyes aren't what they used to be..." he scratched the back of his head. Walking forward, he kneeled by Cyphon and studied his wounds, "these ARE bad...what did you do? Shoot him? Was he making unwanted advances on you?" He asked with a look of caution towards Jynn. "Geag, get Ulgoy," he said to the small alien. Geag scurried off to do his bidding.

 

Moments later a Geag came back, behind him came an enormous creature, bigger than Jhon. It looked at Jynn and spoke at her in an unitelligable tongue, that sounded more like gurgling, and growling. Jhon looked up, "Ulgoy, carry him, but gently, he's severely injured," exclaimed Jhon. Ulgoy complied without care, lifting Cyphon with much more gentality than could be expected of such a large and clumsy creature.

 

Jhon, still crouching, turned to Jynn, "are you injured? If you need someone to carry you I can," he said, getting up after he said this, towering over Jynn. "But if you're fine, then follow us," he said emotionless, though his face showed he was tired, and with more careful examination, you could see he was old, yet proud, carrying himself in a manner of someone of high authority, and yet sorrow untold could be seen in his eyes. He took a small step toward Jynn, and acted as if he were about to pick her up, considering she didn't respond to his question immediately, he assumed she was injured.

[Dark_Lady]

"No," Jynn replied. "I'm not injured." She stood quickly and followed them, trying to steady Cyphon with the Force as much as possible.

[Rexraptor2000]

((When can my character get back in?))

[Master_Archon]

Jhon lead the way, taking them down many corridors, until they reached a small room, with a table in the middle, Jhon told Ulgoy to set Cyphon down on it. Jhon motioned for Jynn to leave, while pulling down a strange intrument, most likely for medical purposes. Ulgoy walked towards Jynn speaking to her in his strange tongue. "Ulgoy say leave, we distract Jhon, this..." Geag searched for the word, "...delykit operation, yeah that it. No worry about friend, Jhon take good care of him, and if you lonely, me be your friend," he said, his brow rinkled into what could be told as a smile, since his mouth was covered with his breath mask, it was the only way you really could tell. Geag grabbed Jynn by the hand and lead her out the door, Ulgoy following after, "come, me take you to where we stay, you can have food, and rest, me can tell you tired," he said, his brow wrinkling even more with happyness, him being happy to have a new, self-proclaimed, friend in twelve years.

 

Edit: -

((When can my character get back in?))

 

((Whenever you feel like, I'm not stopping you, I just was introducing, SOME, of the main characters for the surviving Covenant. How they survived on THAT ship, will be explained later. I would think you would be happy to have surviving Covenant, I dont know about you, but I like the Covenant, at least the Elites, Grunts, Jackals, and Hunters. So post whenever you feel like it, it's okay, just because me and DL are holding a bit of a one-on-one conversation doesn't mean no one else can post. - You people are funny - ))

[Dark_Lady]

Jynn followed reluctantly as Geag led her through the door. The aliens had given her no cause to distrust them, but she didn't want to leave Cyphon alone in a place that affected him so strangely. "Why can't I stay?" she asked. "I'll be quiet." She understood their not wanting to be distracted during an operation, but she wouldn't get in their way, and it wasn't as if she couldn't keep silent.

[Jason Skywalker]

The interceptor continued it's route until it had finally reached it. Alex turned on his station to see if he could contact them.

 

"Hello, anyone there?"

[Master_Archon]

Geag got sad real fast at Jynn's question, "you no want to go with Geag?" Geag's emmenation of happyness started seaping away. "You want with other friend? Geag unnerstan, you go back if you want, me no stop you," at this Geag let go of her hand and turned and started walking away, staring at the floor, saddness welling up in him.

 

"Me unnerstan perfekly, you no like Geag, but Geag okay with that..." he said quietly, barely audible, trailing off at the end. Ulgoy, grunted, walking behind Geag he looked down on the little fellow, and spoke to him, apparently trying to cheer him up.

[Jason Skywalker]

"Hello, is anyone there!?"

 

There was no response.

 

"R3, i'm going to close us in, enter the ship please."

 

The droid answered with some whistles, which said yes. He spun around and to his left, and closed in. He then docked on the top of the freighter, and let go of his astromech droid.

[Dark_Lady]

"No, no," Jynn said, walking after him and looking into his eyes. "It's not like that. I like you just fine, but I can't just leave my friend in there when he's injured. If you were hurt, I'd want to stay with you. Understand? I can come with you later." She searched around in her mind for something to clarify her point. "See, he's not from this place, so if he wakes up and I'm not around, he might get worried, and then he'd be sad too, because I just left him for no reason while he was unconscious."

[Jason Skywalker]

The droid got out of the interceptor and ignited his jets. There seemed now way in, except for a ventilation tube which he entered, and when entered the ship, made contact with it as he crashed. The droid swore in his language of beeps, whistles and such.

[Master_Archon]

Geag pondered this for a moment, then nodded, his smiling brow returning, "it okay, me unnerstan now, me would stay with you, if you hurt, so me go now, and you go see friend," he said waving as he went. Ulgoy, uttered more words to her, but they seemed to be friendly ones.

 

Meanwhile, Jhon began his operations, Cyphon squirmed, seeing as there was no drugs, or any other form of relaxant around. He continued, ignoring his state, only stopping when he saw Cyphon was in too much pain, and would continue after he subsided.

 

((Jason, where are you at the moment? If you're trying to make contact with us, that's a little impossible right now, if you're responding to Shadow's old cargo ship's transponder, well I dont know if Rex is there anymore or not.))

[Jason Skywalker]

((Alex is trying to contact them, but he sent R3, who is, right now on the ship.))

[Dark_Lady]

Jynn reached out to Cyphon through the Force. This was something she had never tried before, but she had always been very adept at sensing people's feelings, and she figured if she tried hard enough, maybe she could channel some of Cyphon's pain through herself and take it away from him. She winced as Jhon continued his operation.

 

Okay, she thought, so it's working.

 

She closed her eyes and tried not to scream.

[Master_Archon]

After two long hours of excrusiating operation, and pain, Jhon finished, Cyphon now lay on back, almost sleeping, rather than unconcious. Strangely enough, Geag and Ulgoy reappeared, only ten minutes after the operation, as if they knew when Jhon would finish.

 

((Jason you realize we're right next to Halo, and that we, me and DL, are on a Covenant ship.))

[Jason Skywalker]

((Jason you realize we're right next to Halo, and that we, me and DL, are on a Covenant ship.))

 

((No. Sithspit. I guess that means R3 is in either an unknown ship, or the Halo?))

[Dark_Lady]

Jynn sighed in relief and opened her eyes. Standing up weakly, she smiled at Geag and Ulgoy.

 

"How did you know he was finished?" she asked.

[Rexraptor2000]

Shadow was lost. He must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, because now he couldn't find his way back and for some reason the radio wasn't working. He was just getting more and more lost over time as he advanced. There was a strong signal with the other clones, so when he started to get lost, he headed for those signals. It turns out the signal was from what look like an old store room. All it had were tanks full of methane and some odd looking weapons. The signal disappeared after he entered the room.

 

The only good news was that there was air and gravity, because he had been running low on air during his time lost. He still left the suit on though, incase he came to a portion of the mauled ship that didn't have air and gravity. He had left the store room, but left marks along the corridors he went through so he could find his way back. One of the bad things about this area being devoid of the force was that the force being used here had no range either.

 

One of his views on the force was that it was like water. If you remain still, nothing is heard or felt. If you lightly splash it, those close enough will hear it and feel it. If you forcibly splash it, those far away will hear it and feel it. This area, however, had no force, so you practically had to be right next to a force user to feel or hear them, or anyone for the matter.

 

He sighed as he came to a dead end, again. He turned around to retrace his steps but found that the door had shut. He immediately gripped his lightsaber incase anything was in here. He didn't know if the Flood could survive in space. He carefully tried to pry the door open with his hands, but it wouldn't budge.

 

He briefly considered using his lightsaber, but decided against it. If he didn't have to use it, he wouldn't. He decided to try to go around. And that failed also. He had lost all bearings. That didn't help when he had to go through an area with no lighting.

 

You are an idiot Shadow, he thought to himself as he made his way through the cables the littered the corridor. The flashlight could only show so much.

 

The darkness kept reminding Shadow's last time at Halo, and the memories that it kept reminding Shadow of was not pretty either. The cold reminded him of the emptiness he had felt after the incident.

 

He looked out to his left and saw the emptiness of space since this portion of the ship was mauled. He stuck to the ship and went through another door, this corridor lit this time. The voices still rang in his head, two specific voices in particular, one telling him things in a dark, riddle like form, while the other spoke in an artificial, intellectual fashion. They both wanted him to do something for them, and they weren't going to stop.

 

He gripped his head and dropped on one knee for a moment before getting back up and moving on. It was a moment before he got on his knees and finally decided to try and take a short nap to get his mind off of things. He nestled himself in some wires and drifted off to sleep, hoping that he would sleep well. This was not the case.

[Master_Archon]

Geag looked at Jynn a little surprised at her question, "Jhon always take this long on baddly hurt people, he very fast, but very, VERY good," he exclaimed with pride. But indeed, Jhon was very good, and very fast, obviously he has had to do this many times before. In most medical procedures, that did not use the force as an aid, they usually took five to six hours, two hours, and doing a good job, was extremely good.

 

Ulgoy grabbed Geag, and set the little guy on his shoulder, Geag looked over at Cyphon, then back to Jynn, "you come with us now? Your friend better!" He asked happily.

[Dark_Lady]

"I guess so," said Jynn. She turned to Cyphon and sent him a message through the Force.

 

Don't worry, I'll be back. Hopefully he would register it when he awoke. She turned back to Jhon and smiled at him.

 

"Thank you," she said. "You have my eternal gratitude."

 

"So where are we going?" she asked Geag.

[Master_Archon]

Jhon did what passed as smile for his species, and motioned for them to go. Before Geag could answer Jynn's question though, Ulgoy, a little over excited, grabbed Jynn, hoisted her up, propped her in a sitting position on his shoulder, and charged out of the room, and down the corridor.

 

"Ahhaha! Me haven't seen Ulgoy this happy in years!" Exclaimed Geag in his high pitched tone, happy as Ulgoy. Geag remembered Jynn's question, and answered, "we go to engine section, that where we live...live for longg time....use engine as atmofear generador, we live long time in there....Jhon says five human years we in there...with no way out for long time..." as Geag had been saying this he seemed to get sadder and sadder, and a flood of memories could be seen pouring through his mind, in his eyes. He got quiet, and even Ulgoy slowed down, tears could be seen welling up in his small pudgy face.

 

"Me lose many friends...back then...." he whispered to himself. "You ever lose any friends?" He asked her quietly, the tears now running down his face, not daring to look at her while he asked her the question. At this point Ulgoy had slowed down to a slow and steady trot, for he seemed to be remembering things too, though he had no eyes, or face to show his sorrow.
