A CH-47 Chinook arrived in Central Park. Soldier got out. They aimed at the car, and one soldier ordered their weapons down. Seeing as it was Zarra and A'lea, they said, 'Well well. Looks like we got ourselves some aliens. You aren't the first we've seen, and considering that the world is "ending" soon, we think you should get on the 'nook." He pointed towards the large, dual-rotored helicopter that could probably pick up a Wraith.

Mitch had stopped at a nearby gas station and found a pay phone. "I can't believe I lost the damn signal..." he said to Alicia. "Well, that's what happens when you rely on the Warthog's GPS." the AI replied. "Shut up, ok, I'm gonna-" he looked over to his right to see a group of people staring at him. "What?! You haven't seen a seven foot tall super soldier?! Get lost!" The group of people began murmuring to each other as they walked away. he went to the pay phone and dialed a number. The dial tone started. "Come on Charlie... Come on... Pick up..."

"No other Sangheili?" Zarra asked worriedly, "Only humans?" A'lea pushed her toward the helicopter. "They're here. Let's go," said A'lea, "We can look for our friends later." "But..." Zarra started to speak. "I know, and I'm worried about my brother," A'lea interrupted, "but there's nothing we can do about it here." Zarra entered the helicopter and A'lea followed. "Everything will be alright," said A'lea. "How can you know for sure?" asked Zarra. "I don't," A'lea admitted, "but we can still hope."

"You don't hear that?" Anau asked, looking down at Charlie. "Hear what?" she asked back. "That device in you pocket, it has been ringing for several seconds," Anau replied. "We're in a damn helicopter, how did you expect me to hear it? How did you hear it?" Charlie asked. Anau looked away from her and gazed out of the window. "Pfft," Charlie reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. Displayed on the screen was 'Mitch'. "Christ," she sighed. Charlie then plugged a chord into her phone from the helmet. "Hello?" she answered.

"It's about damn time!" Mitch said, relived and mad. "Charlie, where are you? I need your help." Mitch stared at his helmet and then took the data crystal chip from it and played around with it. "Do you know where Cassy and Lachlan are?"

"That f**king Australian ditched me with this alien two weeks ago," Charlie replied. "Not true, you asked me to come with you," Anau replied, a little shocked by her comment. "Shut it, can't you see I'm on the phone?" Charlie rudely replied. "And I don't even remember who Cassy is," she replied to Mitch. "Oh yeah, I'm in a helicopter with a bunch of wack jobs who think the world is going to end. We're heading to North Bay, Ontario, so, I'm guess this 'end of the world' thing is legit."

John stared out the window. It was weird... seeing the city convulsing, destroying itself before December 21st finished it off. He just sighed and looked around the Blackhawk, which was extra strength to carry his massive weight in a full suit of power armor. He saw soldiers, two men manning the guns and constantly moving them, aware of enemies, he saw the soldier in body armor and the alien talking on the phone...
Wait, what?
John remarked loudly, "You don't see that every day."
Meanwhile, on Zarra's Chinook.
The commander apologised for his attitude. "I was supposed to be starring in this western coming out in February 2013, and then the end of the world was announced and I got jolted away from my job as an actor back to my job as a commander of the 7th Brigade. Somehow the attitude required stuck with me. Besides, the western voice and dual Desert Eagles keep people away from you. Me and Fireteam Sienna came to pick you up. Nobody cares about pay at this base anymore: it's just building this ark or dieing doing it."

Taro sat in the helicopter that had picked him and his teammates up. The cyan-armored Elite flipped through a newspaper, reading every article he came across. The alien looked up to see Zaku 'Vudem, the current Fleet Master, blowing a pink bubble.
Wait, what?
The gold-armored Zealot spat out the gum when the bubble popped, and the pink, sticky wad flew out of the open doors and onto the highway below. Yech. Taro inquired, "Tell me... How do you chew gum? We lack bottom jaws."
The other Sangheili's curt response was, "Look, we just got flung aruond in space and time- which is imossible, not to mention ludicrous. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to do smothing else thats impossible, even if it is inconseqeuntial in the end."
Taro was slightly taken aback. The Elite shouted to the pilot, "How much longer?!"

The pilot shouted back, "We're here boys. Welcome to SPARTANBase. The other helis will take a bit longer to get here."
Everyone onboard looked out and saw a state-of-the-art military base. Gun turrets aimed at the heli temporarily before classifying it as friendly and taking to other duties. Men were rushing across the base, tanks were moving out the gates and a huge construction building towered over everything else. There were a few houses, and two Apaches and a CF-18 Hornet flew next to the Chinook as it landed and the soldiers stepped off. They were needed elsewhere.
The pilot shouted, "We're the first ones back. Now get off this whirlybird, we'll need it later."

Taro rolled the newspaper up and tucked it under his chestplate. He always savd these things. The hulking Elite growled, "Thank you," to the pilot before hopping off the helicopter and onto the ground. The gold-armored Zealot and his grunt assistant followed, and they walked a short distance away. The cyan-armored Sangheili gumbled to Zaku, "SPARTANbase? Could this be their creation?"
"I have no idea, Commander. You're the brains here."
Taro resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his sarcastic friend. The Elite looked around a little more, pretending to know what he was doing.

Mitch sighed. "Then Cassy must not have come with us." said Alicia. "Ok, I'm going to North Bay too. If you see my Warthog, then stay with me. It's a Troop Transport. You can't miss it. Really."
Four military soldiers slowely approached Mitch from behind and stopped several feet behind him. "Hands up! Don't try anything!"
"Wha-? Oh son of a bitch!" Mitch said as he dropped the pay phone and grabbed his helmet. "Open fire!" the sergeant yelled. "Mitch put Alicia back in his helmet and put it back on. "Shit!" he ran for his Warthog and grabbed his Assault Rifle. The soldiers didn't let up on the fire while Mitch took cover behind his Warthog.

((OoC: Just for fun, I think I'll play a random Space Marine on the base. I'm still not an expert, but one thing I do know is that Space Marines, at least the majority of them, absolutely despise aliens. )) Aurelius looked up and noticed a large, cyan-armored reptilian creature walking toward him, unopposed. Outraged, Aurelius raised his bolter and was tempted to just shoot the alien where he stood, but the reactions of the soldiers around him stayed his hand. "Halt! Xenos!" he ordered. "Who allowed this... creature to enter our sanctuary?" he asked, looking to the soldiers for answers.

One of the soldiers walked up to Aurelius. "Whoa, buddy, these are allies. They ain't Tyranids or anything. Lower yer bolter."

Taro froze. Zaku turned his head very slowly to face Aurelius. The Zealot, standing at close to nine feet, towered over all else on-base. The gold-armored Zealot growled quietly, "What did you call us?"
The cyan-armored Elite was incensed. "Xenos? A pitiful take on the Latin word for outsider. At least I know I have achieved something in life, having become the Commander of Supercommandos. And who might you be, little one?" the alien asked to the human at chest level, quite patronizingly.
The little Grunt just watched, suspicious, and clung to Zaku's leg, a neurotic habit he had picked up during the Covenant Civil War. The huge Elite didn't bother to shake him off, as usual. Taro simply blinked his ice-blue eyes, and Zaku's dark brown eyes glittered with shielded anger at the Space Marine.

Aurelius snorted, "Allies? These creatures? Aliens have never served the Emperor! They are nothing but vermin and spreaders of heresy. Not even worthy of our pity." He stood to his full height, and glared at the alien. In his power armor he was nearly at eye level with the Elites.
(OoC: I'm not sure how tall a Space Marine is, but I'm pretty sure they're much taller and stronger than a normal human.)
