I was awoke as I heard the door to my chambers open, I sat up and stretch slightly to loosen my muscles. The shipmaster walked in making sure I was awake, I stood and looked at him awaiting orders.
"Come now Arbiter your training is about to begin, grab a weapon or two and follow me," the shipmaster explained, I nodded grabbing the spartan slayer and a needler rifle as I followed the shipmaster out of my chambers. He led me down some corridors and into a very open room, it had to occasional hiding place during long distance training but other then that it was bare. I looked around taking everything in when suddenly I was shoved to the ground, I looked up to see the shipmaster standing over me a sword to my chest.
"First things first, never let the enemy see you distracted, in battle you only have a few seconds to take in the combat before you must fight, if it's on well known grounds you have the upper advantage if the enemy looks around to find the best cover, but if there is none and it turns into a gunfight best thing to do is retreat to cover, all enemies seem to make the mistake of thinking it as weakness and charge after you to finish you off, but if you outnumber them and have the chance to surround them you must take it, now if it comes to hand to hand combat especially against a spartan always and I mean always have a sword on you, unless they are weak and there is a hole in the armour you won't do much damage unless you are a brute or hunter, though spartan armour isn't all strong, every bit of armour has a weak spot guarded by a flimsy piece of the armour, rip that off and they have a big weakness especially on the legs, meanwhile if the helmet doesn't connect to the chest piece so that means if you can grab them by the neck and disarm their weapons from them you can easily break their necks or choke them to death, now when it comes to guns we have, the needlers the energy crystals will penetrate the armour easily  but won't go too deep unless you use our deadly long range needler rifles that have the best scopes known to the covenant, now that the history is over with grab your sword and let us begin," the shipmaster explained allowing me to stand, I took everything in making mental notes of about everything. I grabbed the spartan slayer and back away, we began to circle each other and I made the first move. I charged when suddenly something clicked and I dodged from side to side confusing the shipmaster, I then stood beside him my sword to his chest. A smile spread across his face, we moved away from each other and I looked at my hands confused. I didn't know how I did that, the shipmaster walked over to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"How did I do that?" I questioned looking at him, he looked at my thoughtfully.
"They seem to have left your subconscious memories of fighting alone, that's good so we will unlock those as we train," the shipmaster noted, we began to circle each other again when the ship shook. I looked around alarmed when the alarms began to sound, we both ran towards the docking bay. We arrived to see soldiers spilling out of the human ship that managed to get through our shields, I noticed three heavily armour soldiers jump out of the ship. I quickly guessed they were Spartans and ran down my energy sword in hand, the Spartans looked our way and dodged as I ran through them slashing.
"Woah!" One of them exclaimed as they dodged, it was a female from what I heard.
"Mike watch out!" Another shouted as I charged for the one in dark blue armour, he dodged swiftly and shot at me. I quickly jumped out of the way, suddenly there was a weight on my shoulders and I thrashed about trying to shake it off. Finally I threw the spartan off my shoulders and pinned it down, I held my energy sword to its neck and looked at the others. I could smell their panic and confusion, the turquoise armoured female put her weapon down the the dark blue male lowered his as well.
"You dare attack my fleet and surrender without much fight!? Pathetic Spartans!" I roared angrily, suddenly the turquoise female kicked her pistol to the grey one who lay beneath my foot. It shot up at me narrowly missing my head causing me to jump back, I quickly rolled to the side as they began to fire multiple bullets at me. Suddenly a strange necklace of sort fell free of my suit, it took me by surprise but made the Spartans look at each other confused.
"D-Donna?" The dark blue one known as Mike stammered, I stopped confused as to how they knew my name.
"How do you know my name!? Were you the ones who captured me and erased my memories!?" I roared pointing my needler rifle at them, Mike looked confused but the others smelt of anger.
"Donna it's me Mike, your old friend?" He seemed to plead, I scoffed shooting at them and they dodged.
"Why would I be friends with spartan scum!?" I roared in laughter never taking my eyes off them as I continued to shoot, I could smell the dark blue ones confusion.
"They have tampered with yours minds as they have mine, I am no friend of yours I am the Arbiter and I was raised here when they rescued my from you after you erased my memories!" I roared again now angry, the female and the grey one threw grenades at me and I ran quickly jumping to higher ground. Smoke enveloped the area making it hard for me to see, hearing a gunshot I dodged. There was another gunshot and I felt pain rise through my leg, I roared in pain and backed up as the three of them walked out of the smoke holding their guns aiming directly at me. My eyes narrowed in pure disgust, I wasn't expecting for what happened next.
