Things are not as they always seem

"Cortana, Location now!" Chief ordered. David pushed delta back into his command terminal.

"Delta, prep main weapons and secondary weapons. " David ordered as he looked at a screen. "Prep all weapons to for stand by status."

"Chief i found its location." David looked at the monitor as did John as Cortana pointed it out. "Its here, stationary, and underground"

Recognizing the location, David realized that it wasn't far from appaloosa "Cortana, check the slip space signal again." Doing as asked it came back as a covenant signal, causing David and Chief to let out a breath they didn't know they were holding. "That was a little chaotic" David said under his breath before he face palmed "Discord playing his games." He said before donning his helmet and at Delta. "Delta, prep drop pods, i want to land right at the caves front door" David looked at chief "Prep stand by A.I., Master Chief, your with me."

"Yes sir." David said as he grabbed Cortana and a blue a.i appeared. "Church, Your in command"

"Who is this A.I.?" Cortana asked using Chiefs radio "he isn't in any ONI or UNSC file."

"That is because he is an a.i. modeled after an A.I. that was key in taking down project freelancer. So you wouldn't find any files on him. I only learned of Church, i had Delta create him to help command the liberty." David responded as he placed a gun on his hip. Stepping into the pods, David looked over to twilight "no mater what, stay here" With that the door slammed shut on the pod, before a door closed around it and it started to fall to earth. Closely followed by master chiefs pod.

"Sir, movement outside of target landing, hostile forces confirmed to be Covenant." Delta said through the radio.

"So the fun begins again" Cortana said.

"I'll take point" Chief said as his pod slammed into the ground and the door exploded off, taking out a Elite warrior class. Looking up through his visor, David saw 50 red outlines of Elites through the dust before his visor range ran out, most matched low warrior classed elites.

"Alright, lets get the party started"
