Chapter 6

(A.N.: I'm doing a vote, should I let his system give him magical powers? or should he stay magic-less?)

I awoke to see 5 large people in front of my bed, "I think you owe us some answers" Jorge said with his arms crossed.

I sighed and sat at the edge of the bed, "you want to know how I knew right?" I asked an obvious question, to which they all nodded.

"Ever since the augmentation, I had a...voice telling me things, things I shouldn't know. I don't know why or how it works but, it seems to be on my side for now" I twisted the truth a bit, "I know without it, we wouldn't have gone on that ship and...Sam would've died" everyone looked at me with a shook face.

"It also gave me strange powers" I picked up my pillow from my bed and put it into my 3 cubic meter inventory space. Once again, they were shocked.

"You've never led us astray yet, I trust you," Jerome said, "same here, you let me blow stuff up whenever I want," Douglas said with a big grin, "while Doug can be an idiot, I agree with him" Alice spoke, "you and I have always had a friendship. The moment we met we just clicked" Jorge said with a soft smile.

I looked at Naomi, "do you even need to ask? You invited me to your group when no one else would. If you asked me to run away from everything with you, I would do so without hesitation" Naomi said with an appreciative smile.

I stared at them with slight surprise, I hadn't expected them to trust me to such a degree, "thank you all, truly" I said to them sincerely, "now, who wants to kick some Covenant ass!"

[Roughly a year later, 2526. The start of the Harvest campaign]

*Gunfire and plasmafire*

"Brute, on your left!" a human soldier yelled out, "ahhhhhhh! help!" The other human yelled. The Brute, just about to crush the human with its gravity hammer.

*BANG* *CHUCKCHUCK* *BANG*

Two shotgun blasts went into the Brutes chest, killing it.

"You okay, marine?" the giant holding the shotgun asked, "y-yes" the giant gave a nod and started running toward more Covenant soldiers.

"What the hell was that?" The marine asked while picking his friend up, "I don't know, maybe we should ask the Sergeant" the two marines decided that, when they get a chance, they will ask their Sergeant what the giant was.

The giant, which was Douglas, was running around killing Covenant forces left and right, "damn, I love killing these bastards" Douglas said with a massive grin on his face.

*BANG*

An Elite that was coming up behind Douglas got shot through the head with a sniper, "it may be fun. But, you should watch your surroundings" I said while putting a fresh mag into my sniper.

"Get off my back Russ, I saw him on my motion tracker" I just shook my head and continued to fire my sniper at the Covenant.

It's been a few months since we blew up the Covenant ship and I've levelled up a bit and bought some things from my shop.

One of the things I bought is the Sangheili language. I bought it so I could attempt to convert Covenant forces to my side. This, sadly, hasn't worked yet.

I looked around and saw a lone, wounded Elite major.

I walked over to the Elite and it raised its weapon at me, I quickly threw it away.

"I mean you no harm, I just want to speak with you" I started speaking Sangheili. The Elite looked surprised to hear a human speak its language, "I have nothing to say to you, human" I crouched down to be eye level with the Elite, "that's fine, I just want you to listen to what I have to say" the Elite grunted, but stayed staring at me.

"I thank you," I said before continuing, "what I'm about to say may anger you, but please have an open mind" I took a deep breath, "The hierarchs have lied to you, the great journey is a lie. The rings that will lead you to godhood were made to kill all sentient life. They were used millions of year's ago to stop the spread of a parasite called, "the Flood"" the Elite looked at me with questioning eyes.

"Why would you tell me this, human?" the Elite asked, "because I want you and any other species of the Covenant to join me so that we can stop this war and save millions of lives, for both sides" the Elite was seriously thinking about what I said, this is the closest I've been to recruiting a member of the Covenant.

"Topa 'Ratamee" I was confused, "pardon?" the Elite looked me dead in the eyes, "my name is Topa 'Ratamee" I smiled, "let's take the 'ee' off" Topa 'Ratamee, now Topa 'Ratam, nodded.

My grin grew larger, "welcome to the team, Topa 'Ratam"
