It’s amazing what can happen in a single day. Not only did MechMaster and I have a close encounter with Barren Hal, but we now have two new members: Master MCQ and The Newt Man (both were Spartans from the lost Gray Team). I nearly got taken over by the Darkness, and the Spartans of Beta Squad and the Loonatics have new allies. It started on the morning after the day I entered the first log. In our new Pelican aircraft, me and MechMaster were investigating an area of recent disappearances. Me and Mech searched for hours, with no luck. We were about to head back to HQ as we entered a warehouse. In a bright flash of light appears our new nemesis from days before…Barren Hal. Apparently, the “disappearances” were just false reports made by Barren to lure Beta Squad there and kill us. Since we barely defeated him last time, and at that time we couldn’t charge up for a counterattack, we were, as you say, screwed. Then out of nowhere, a hail of Spike Grenades started falling down on Hal. We then decided to throw our own Frag and Plasma Grenades into the mix. Barren then vanished in a flash of purple light. He probably thought that he couldn’t survive all of those explosions going off at once. As he did, we hightailed it back to the Pelican before the resultant big boom obliterated the warehouse. Out of the wreckage came two figures. One was a Spartan in a refined version of the MJOLNIR MK6 armor, carrying a Sniper Rifle, some Spike Grenades, and an M6D Pistol. The second was a Spartan, but wore a strange suit of armor and was using an assault rifle with a chainsaw attached to it. I immediately recognized them by their callsigns: Newt Man-456 and Master MCQ-152, two of the members that were lost with Gray Team for a time. For Spartans, they were kinda wild, lacked the normal Spartan discipline, and loved taunting their opponents with “your mom” jokes. We “convinced” them to get in the Pelican and head to Loonatics HQ. On our way back, a much larger flash of light appeared, and from it Barren appeared with a mech. It was no ordinary Mech, it was big…VERY big. At least 3x larger than the TrolBot 9000. At that time, I knew that we were screwed once again. But then the mech suddenly fell apart. For a full ten seconds, no one dared move, not even Barren Hal. We then leaped down to start another fight. I readied my energy sword and primed a frag. MechMaster readied his own plasma grenades and chainsaw bayonet. MCQ wildly sprinted at Hal with an active Lancer Chainsaw Bayonet, a brandished machete, and using the Force, carried a 100 ft. long pipe for a triple strike. Newt Man flew above us with Active Camo engaged while aiming at Barren’s head with a sniper rifle. Then a fifth man, directly in front of Barren in what seemed to be ancient armor, raised an enormous sword and brought it down on him. Before all of our attack could connect, Hal just vanished in more light. The unknown man said his name was Renum and he would help the Loonatics in any way, but then he just ran off. While rode our shuttlecraft back to HQ, we told the boss-lady and the rest of the team what happened. MCQ and Newt Man were added to our roster and their armor was repainted. It is interesting to note that before he vanished, Barren said that he was over 300 years old, and he’s the only one who knew what happened to John-117 and the Covenant invasion of Old Earth… and I’m sure he won’t tell us.
