Chapter 60: The Resistance

We see Junior leading Y/n and the group through the ancient elite temple with Grunts and Jackals moving crates around that contain Covenant weapons which they stole while their look over at them as they continue following Junior.

Soon they arrived at a huge door which Junior places his hand onto the panel and seconds later the door opens to reveal a very huge room with a second floor and a large window to the outside world and a meeting table down the steps as they walk down the steps.

Tucker: So....ahem.....son. I see you have been.....busy.

Junior: Very busy father. After years of finding a base, recruiting others to my cost and fighting against the Covenant rain was indeed busy but I am glad that you and all of you have arrived. Our Resistance is getting stronger by the minute.

Y/n: (smile) Still we were surprised to see you and look how much you have grown.

Ave: (smirk) Yeah, here your end up like your father.

Tucker: Hey!

Junior: (chuckle) Do not worry. I respect all females like all of us. At the end of the day, we are all fighting against a evil rule.

They approach the table that shows a map to the Elite Capital on Sanghelios as they gather around as Junior ask them.

Junior: Now you all know the reason you all are here correct?

Y/n: Operation: Planet riot correct?

Junior: Indeed. It may sound impossible but with tye help of my spies within the Covenant, there is a way we can have Sanghelios to turn against the Prophets and the Covenant itself by targeting the great archives of the Prophets. Within it contain many secrets that we can use to expose the Prophets lies and turn the tides of this war once and for all.

Church: Hhhmm you sure this is a good idea? Judging by the location being in the capital, I don't think we won't complete it.

Junior: Yes however there is a way. You see, the vault is underground and according to intel I have gotten, it appears there is a hold mining tunnel that we can use to get to the vault and gather any files that the Prophets have kept inside.

Grif: Huh, how come they build underground places next to a mine?

Simmons: Probably someone who is a dumbass.

Caboose: Or wish to build a spooky fun cave ride.

Grif: It's not a theme park Caboose.

Caboose: It could be.

Washington: So where is the entrance to the cave?

Junior: There is a canyon far from the capital and within the canyon is a cave that cab take use to the mining tunnel. We should get there without any problems.

Grif: Hope you didn't jinxed that.

Junior: I know you all have a long trip to get here. Please, get some rest. We have food at the cafeteria if you wish to eat.

Grif: Well see ya guys! This human is hungry to eat.

Everyone left to either get some rest, tell everyone else from the ship that the base is safe or to grab something to eat. Either way Y/n wishes to speak to Junior so we see them at the balcony of the temple as they look at the veiw as Y/n noticed the statues and ask.

Y/n: You made them?

Junior: No. These were build to honor the warriors of the Sword of Sanghelios.

Y/n: And they are?

Junior: Warriors from the past. Brave and honourable once.

Y/n: I see. Say Junior.....what happened to you after the Pelican crashed?

Junior: I see you wish to know what become of me after the crash. Very well then. After the crash I was alone until Elites from the Covenant found me and took me in to join the Covenant.

Y/n: (shocked) You join the Covenant?

Junior: Yes unfortunately however at first I believed we were fighting to protect the life in the universe because of so many alien race I've seen. But I soon realised not all alien aren't welcome. They picked humanity as selfish, unbelievable that must be destroyed but I question why. Is it not their right to believe what they believe? Still I was forced to kill humans which sickness me. I remember your humans taking care of me since I was onky very young, I didn't understand why we couldn't just exist together rather then destroying them. Then one day.......it all changed during one raid in human outpost.

(Flashback start)

In a UNSC bunker we see Junior standing there in a room with piles of dead humans all around him. He was sent down there to see if there were any survivors as he look at all the human dead bodies and was horrified by this.

He nearly throw up if weren't of the sound of crying somewhere in the bunker. He followed the noise and soon walked into a room and noticed something moving as he approaches it and looks inside the babies crib and was face to face with a baby crying for his mother or father.

Junior stared at the baby in shame, realising his parents were already dead but then the baby noticed Junior and then started to giggle while reaching his hands towards him.

Junior wa surprised that he was not afraid as he puts away his plasma rifle and lend his hand into the crib and the baby grabs his finger and laughs even more while Junior feels happy to see his joy.

Elite commander: What have you found?

He turn to see his commander as he turn and tells him.

Junior: I've found this child sir. I believe his parents were killed during the attack. I suggest we take him in with us.

Elite commander: Absolutely not! Humans must be destroyed including that disgusting being.

Junior: Sir he's just a baby. Babies doesn't know anything so what if we can teach it with our region and he will-

Elite commander: Do not be nonsense! Humans will never understand our path to the great Journey and all those who doesn't believe it are heretics!

He pulled out his needler which cost the baby to cry once more while his Elite commander orders Junior.

Elite Commander: Steps aside and I will end it for you.

Junior turns to the baby crying and back to his commander and then pulled out his plasma rifle at him.

Junior: I will not allow you to harm a weak human.

Elite commander: How dare you disobeying to me. Your nothing but a heretic.

He then fired his needler at Junior but moved amd fired his plasma rifle and knocks the needler out of the commanders hand which he roars and charge towards him but immediately Junior pulled out his engery sword and stab his Elite commander in the chest.

He let out groans of pain and then falls limb. His body drops to the ground as Junior was breathing heavily while the baby continues to cry as Junior turns to him. He then walked over to it, grabbing his cheeks which calmed the baby and he let out a smile as Junior smiled back and then he takes the baby, wrapping it around with his blanket while given him his stuff animal and then left but this time, he's never gonna return to the Covenant every again.

(Flashback ends)

Y/n stood there shocked of Junior's story and his time within the Covenant as Junior was looking at the veiw while he tells Y/n.

Junior: After that I learn what the Elite were before the Covenant. We were honourable, true and warriors with honor but yet the Prophets turn them into Savage, dishonorable and murders who seek our humans and killing them in horrible and twisted ways. We are......monsters rather then.....warriors or honour.

Y/n: Damn....that's some heavy stuff. Wait, shat about the baby?

Junior: I was afraid the child will get killed so I took him as my son and train him in the ways of honour and bravery. I wish him to live a happy life as best I can.

Y/n: (smile) Whoa. That is the most kindness thing you could have ever done.

Junior: Indeed. You all accepted me to what I am disbite fighting my race for years. So I wish to to the same by adopting a human so I can introduce him to our race. A human and Elite relationship.

Y/n: (smile) Well I'm proud for that and I bet your father would be proud as well.

Junior: I believe he is. Oh, I believe someone is watching us.

Y/n turn around and noticed a little boy peak around the corner while holding his stuff animal while he's looking at Y/n in wonders.

Y/n: (smile) Is he the baby you were talking about?

Junior: Indeed. I think he's looking at you.

Y/n smiled underneath his helmet as he bend down to him and took off his helmet to show him he's human like him.

Y/n: (smile) Hi there. Names Y/n-453. I'm a human Spartan.

He was a bit shy, surprised to meet a human as he glance over to Junior which he nodes to him, signalling him that he's alright as he turn back to Y/n and then walk slowly towards Y/n.

He then looks at his face and reach over and then touch his skin which surprised him while Y/n let's out a small laugh.

Y/n: Does he have a name?

Junior: I name him Rila when I first adopted him.

Y/n: (smile) Rila Huh. The first ever human having a Sanghelios name. That must be cool ain't that right kid.

Rila:....Cool?......What is cool mean?

Watcher: Huh. Guess he doesn't know much about mankind.

Y/n: Well "Cool" means being amazed or the weather is cool or something. Still it's a way to experience your amazement.

Rila: Okay.

Junior: (chuckle) He's a curious person. Shy but curious.

Rila: Father. There is more humans coning inside the building? Are we in trouble?

Junior: (smile) Do not fear my son. They are our friend. Actually, allow me to introduce your Grandfather.

Watcher: Now this is something I'm gonna see.

(Short while later)

Tucker: (shocked) I HAVE A GRANDSON???!!!!!

The cafeteria echoed as Rila hide behind Junior in fear while Tucker stood there shocked and confused while Church appears on the table.

Church: Whoa! Not only your son is a leader of a badass Resistance but he also has a son. Man, your gonna have a one crazy tree.

Tucker: (shocked) I....I can't be getting old right? I just can't! I have so much to do! I wanna sleep with girls, have a great time! I CAN'T BE GETTING OLD!!!!

Caboose: And I can't get younger!

Rila: (little laugh) The dark blue one is funny.

Caboose: Dark blue one? I don't see anyone who is dark blue one. Wait a minute...are you talking to Church?!

Church: I'm not dark blue Caboose, you are!

Rila: (little laugh)

Ashley: (smile) Aaww he's so cute Junior. Can I?

Junior: Be my guest.

Ashley smiled in joy as she bend down and then hug Rila with a huge smile of joy on her face as she hug Rila.

Ashley: (smils) You are soo adorable I might die.

Rila: (panic) Really?! Father, we need to help her!

Y/n: (chuckle) She's not literally gonna die, she's just saying that because your too cute.

Junior: (chuckle) I guess it's kinda my fault. Still, there is no reason to worry.

Rila: Oh. Sorry.

Ave: (smile) No need to apologise kid. Still, it's nice to meet you.

Rila: (small smile) Yeah. Same.

Jackal scout: Commander.

Then a group of Jackals approaches them as they turn to them as Junior ask their leader.

Junior: What seemed to be the problem?

Jackal scout: The canyon that we were scouting is now protected by Covenant forces.

Sarge: Wait what?

Carolina: I thought that place is abandon.

Junior: It should be abandon. Are you sure?

Jackal scout: Yes. We will take you there so you can see it yourself.

Y/n: Me and Eric will come along.

Junior: Understood. Follow old friend, let us see what the Covenant are doing to in that canyon.
