I dont own anything of the Halo franchise or Sekirei

Chapter 1

While witnessing the events unfold around her Cortana knew she had to act.

On one side she saw the didact falling towards an opening slipspaceportal and on the other she saw John lunging for the novabomb to safe the Human population on earth.

In a split second she calculated the best course of action and began to work her magic. In the last possible moment, she managed to erect a sphere like hardlight shield, around her one and only Spartan, effectively saving him from certain doom.

Being able to witness the destructive power of the warhead was awe inspiring. Sadly most of her being was still on the dreaghtnot.

If only she'd knew where her live long companion would end up.

Cortana wasn't able to do anything about the reaction that came from the portal the didact used to escape. Sucking up the energy supplied by the detonation of the nuclear warhead, the portal grew in size and started to expand, swallowing the hardlight bubble, with the Chief in it.

With the Master Chief

Opening my eyes and getting up from my crouched position, all I could see around myself were blue walls of hardlight with codes flowing trough them.

Orientading myself I call into the radio. "Cortana?" Getting no responses I tried again. "Cortana, do you read?" Silence. "Cortana? Come in?"

Feeling a presence behind me, I turned around and found Cortana walking out of the hardlight wall at a sedated pace towards me.

"How?" I asked perplexed.

Cortana smiled and spoke in a playful voice. " Oh I'm the strangest thing you've seen all day?"

"But if we're here?" Confusion evident in my voice.

"It work." A sad smile gracing her face. "You did it. Just like you always do."

Studying her sad expression and looking around the room, I asked. "So how do we get out of here?"

Cortana shifted her gaze to the ground and took a deep breath before answering. "I'm not coming with you this time." Her words final.

"What!?"

Picking up on my shocked response, she continued while avoiding my visored gaze. "Most of me is down there. I only held enough back to keep you save. But you were swallowed by the Didacts slipspacerapture that went unstable when it collided with the energy of the explosion."

Straight away I protested. "That's not gonna, we go together."

With a sad voice she continued. "It's already done."

"I am not leaving you here." my tone firm.

"John." Stepping closer to me Cortana lay her hand on my armored chest. A shaky breath escaped her lungs as she exclaimed in a wistful tone. "I've waited so long to do this."

I turned my head away from her. "It was my job to take care of you."

Taking her hand of me, she looked at me, slowly walking back she said. "We were supposed to take care of each other."

Pleadingly I said. "Please."

Stopping by the coded hardlight wall she voiced her final words in a loving whisper. "Take care John." and she vanished into the hardlight.

And the only thing he felt was numbness when Cortana disappeared. His brain trying, but failing to comprehend what happened.

Suddenly the room started to shake. Cracks forming along the walls, shards falling from above. The light around him started to get brighter and brighter. Bracing himself for what was to come, he was still unprepared for the sudden loss of footing when the floor finally gave. The pull of the uncaring void speeding up his descend.

After tumbling for a bit he managed to get a stable position with his head pointing down.

His view was taken over by a planet, with a huge amount of satellites orbiting around it. Orienting himself and searching for any familiar landmasses, he found this planet resembling earth, the only things out of place were the missing ODPs and the lush green of the African continent.

Noticing the sunlight shimmering to his side he managed to see a satellite flying towards him on a collision course. Spinning around himself to avoid beeing hit, John managed to latch onto the satellite.

Getting a moment to catch his breath, John began to study the satellite. Written on the side of its metal carcass were three capital letters.

M.B.I.

Wondering about the acronym, John studied the device further. Seeing a long telescope pointing to the planet he came to the conclusion that the main purpose of the device was probably to gather intelligence for this M.B.I..

John scoffed, information was everything. The more eyes you had in the sky the easier it got and around him orbiting the planet was an obscene amount of satellites, probably not all for spying but surly the most of them.

Deciding that he was in need of information too he used his neural interface to will his Mjolnir Mk 6 to connect to the satellite. Using the advanced hacking software that Cortana had written on Reqium to download as much data as he could.

Being reminded of Cortana only served to empower the numbness in his heart. No he didn't have time to give himself to his sorrow yet. He needed to function until he got to a secure location. Holding onto a satellite in orbit was not a secure location. So with a heavy heart he pushed his feelings aside like so many other times and continued his downloading.

M.B.I. Headquarters Shinto Teuto.

Takami Sahashi didn't have a good day, that was for sure.

She could put up with the usual crappy situations created by her used to be lover and father of her two children Minaka Hiroto, God help her she was used to his randomness and insanity.

She could also put up with the incompetencey of her underlings in the research division, she was also used to the idiocy displayed by her employees that had to deal with everything pertaining the sekirei plan.

No the source of her current headache and rise off her stress, was her son.

Minato Sahashi rang her a few hours ago and told her that he had failed his entrance exam for university again. Why couldn't he do it, he was smart, that she knew, from all the iq tests she had run on him. But his performance was just miserable under pressure.

She would have been able to deal with his failure too. She was his mother and she loved him.

Then two hours ago, the alarm went of in the mainhub, where all the info, regarding the sekirei, that were out in Shinto Teito, was being processed, signalling a new winging. Sekirei Nr. 88 Musubi had been winged. And lo and behold whos picture popped up next to Musubis.

Her idiot son had managed to wing her. With that she had almost reached her breaking point. Only years of experience in suppressing her anger and frustration kept her from having a melt down.

Now what gave her the first final push was the alarm going of again. Seriously how often could it happen in one day? She didn't need anymore inconveniences today.

Turning towards the person closest to her, sitting at one of the many terminals, she barked.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?"

Poor little sap almost wet himself being addressed in such a way. Nontheless he responded in a shaky voice.

"Mm mam wwere bbeing hacked."

Takami frowned, wait fir him to continue. When he didn't she yelled at him again. "Bring it on the mainscreen. Try shutting whoever it is out and begin tracking immediately!"

The assistant complied and brought the images of windows opening and closing up to the mainscreen which was a huge screen at the front of the room.

Amother man shouted over the controllroom. "Mam we can't stop the attack. We have never seen algorithms like that!" Making the process visible in the mainscreen.

Takami was awed never before had she seen such an advanced cyberattack. This someone blew trough their firewall and started to download information. She had to shut down the hole system. Thinking quick, she ran to the wall with the mainpowerlines and pulled the lever.

And darkness took them as the lights went out and the howl system shut down.

When the red emergency lights turned on, Takami went to one of the terminals and booted it up to see if they had gotten a location from which the cyberattack had originated from. They were successful so it seemed. But the location was impossible.

The big slidingdoor behind them opened and Minaka stormed into the room. It looked pretty dramatic with his flapping cape.

He asked her in a serious way "What happend Takami?"

"We were hacked. We couldnt the person out of our system. So we shut everything down. Minaka I have never seen anything like this before. It was as if our firewalls were nonexistent. We managed to get a location though. But it's weird." Takami explained.

"What do you mean weird?" Minaka inquired.

"Our network was hacked at Observationsatellite 45. We didn't schedule any maintenances on the satellites today."

"Hmmm weird indeed. How is that possible? If any government managed to get this much information it will be troublesome for the sekirei plan. For now cut the connection to all the satellites and keep an eye on the sky. Who ever was up there needs to come down. I want to know were and when." Minaka orderd.

Minaka turned around and began walking to the door. Before stepping trough he added to his orders. "Also get the disciplinary squad on standby and ready to deploy. I want this person in front of me as soon as possible." Not waiting for a response Minaka walk through the door. All the while muttering to himself.

Takami turned around and began to put all the orders in place immediately. "Come on People you heard what he said. I want this done and that yesterday!"

Takami turned around and walked out of the room. All the while, on her way to the quarters of the disciplinary squad, she couldn't shake of the feeling that things were about to change. For good or for bad she didn't know. Crappy day indeed.

With the Master Chief

Getting all the data out of the database via the satellite was easy enough. The firewalls had been a joke. Until they shut him out that is. Letting his gaze pan over his hud he made sure that everything was saved.

Now step two came a secure location.

Panning his view back to the planet. He heaved a sigh, not really enjoying what he had to. In all honesty crashing down to a planet was never really one of his wishes, two times were enough in his book. But allass all good things aree three, he pushed of the satellite, and tried to find a good position for orbital entry.

The gravitational pull started to get stronger and stronger as he began to enter the atmosphere.

Tucking his legs and feet as close to his body as possible to keep them from being ripped of by his entry, he willed bus armor to lock up with his neural implant and hoped for the best.

Shinto Teito

In the bustling city, all the people who were out and about on the streets, heard a loud bang. When they turned their gaze to the sky they saw a small yellow glowing object scream trough the sky. Children stopped to point at it, adults watch in fascination. End then it was gone as it impacted in one of the big skyscrapers. The shockwave of the impact destroying all the glass windows. On the other side of the skyscraper, people at the streets started to panic and tried to get out of the way. The ting hit the road. Bounced of the roade, cracking it in the processe and kept on flying into a closed shop. A huge dustcloud kick up and obscured the view of the impact site.

M.B.I Headquaters

Karasuba, Haiyane, and Benizubasa were in the livingroom of their apartment located in the shin tower.

Karasuba was lounging on their big couch watching television, while Benizubasa and Hayane were sitting at the table conversing about the events that Takami had told them about.

"Who do you think it was?" ask Hayane. Benizubasa answerd " Doesn't matter who or what it was, if they find out we're gonna be on our way and chrush them that's they won't stand a chance, right Karasuba?

Karasuba look over to them with her half lidded eyes and spoke " Don't bother me worm or I end you."

Both Benizubasa and Hayane shudderd, it wouldn't do them well if Karasuba lost it. You never knew what was going on in her head.

Suddenly the intercom came to live in the livingroom, Takamis voice being broadcasted.

"Karasuba, Benizubasa, Hayane an object has been spotted in the sky, we calculated it will crash in the shopping district. Move out and secure the target."

All three sekirei got up and looked at each other eager to see some action. On the way out Karasuba replied. "Yeah yeah we're on it."

Walking out if the building all three went to a side alley and took to the roofs. While they were roof hopping towards the shopping district Hayane spotted the object before it hit the skyscraper, as she followed it with her gaze she whistled. "Man that thing is gonna cause quite some damage."

Karasuba answerd "I don't really care about the damage, I only hope who or what is there will give me a good fight." her maniacal grin coming out, and her tongue wetting her lips in antisipation.

Running to the end of the roof they were on all of them gaining speed for the last leap they had to take to get to the crashsite. All of them jumped and propelled themwelded trough the air.

Landing in front of the dustcloud that was kicked up by the impact, all three prepared themselves. Benizubasa fastening her gloves, Hayane brandished her clawblades and Karasuba lay a hand on her sword in a lazy manner. Then they stepped into the cloud of dust.

At first the visuallaty they had was quite obscured, the further they walked in the more they could see, as the dust got sucked with the circulating air. When they finally got a clear view of what was in the room, they didn't quite know what to make of this.

Probed up against some rubble was this huge green thing. It looked humanoid but it was too big for it to be human. They guessed the thing to be at least 7 feet tall, it was decked out in what they presumed to be dark green armor with black spots on its joints and a helmet that had a big golden, reflecting visor, on the big piece of chest armor it spelled the the numbers 117 in thick white paint.

At first they just stood there observing it further. Then it's hand twitched and a golden hue surrounded its body. When the hue disappeared it kicked up the dust that had settled on the body.

All three of them took up a battle stance and were ready to take the thing apart when it got up and towers over them.

Benizubasa always being a blabbermouth spoke first "Surrender peacefully and nothing will happen yo you!"

Instead of answering the huge humanoid in armor began to look around the room.

Now Hayane and Karasuba knew Benizubasa had a short fuse so it wasn't unexpected when she suddenly shouted. DON'T IGNOR ME YOU BIG PILE OF TRASH!"

And Benizubasa charged the humanoid head-on planning to deliver a devastating haymaker to the underside of the helmet.

What surprised everyone though was when the green giant dodge in the last moment. And Benizubasa seiled passed him and obliterated the pile of rubble. Seeing the pike of rumble being obliterated seems to flip a switch in the giant as it moved to get rid of Benizubasa.

Seeing this Hayane brandished her blades and went to attack its back before it could reach Benizubasa. When her claws struck its back she belived them to penetrate the metal at least a bit, but her claws were stoped a few inches before the metal by a shimmering golden hue.

Faster then Hayane could react the towering figure turned around and slapped her arms to the side. Before placing several strikes against her torsor. When she tried to back pedal out of the way, it stepped after her and slammed its right elbow into her temple with such force that she saw dark and crumbeld to the floor.

Seeing this Benizubasa boiled over with rage and went in for a second round. Being a fisttype sekirei she found it easier to keep up with the strikes of her opponent. Being small also had its advantage when fighting something so big. As nimble as she was she managed to step into the guard of the thingy and deliver a devastating punch to its stomach. Believing the force of her punch would lift the humanoid into the ait as her small fist connected. She was actually shock that it just stood there as if nothing happend. She tried to get some distance between them but was to slow when the thing grab her wrist in a wiselike grip that made her actually whince. As she tried to pull free it lifted its large hand and knocked her out.

Karasuba was impressed. And showed her pleasure by clapping her hands as the green giant turned towarrd her. "Colour me impressed. I expected more from Hayane and Benizubasa." Her eyes widend a bit as her maniacal grin came out and she liked her lips. "I hope you can give me a good fight, it would be so sad if you'd break to soon."

With that Karasuba reached for her blade and unleashed her quickdraw attack at the green humanoid. Who wasn't completely able to dodge. As the golden hue appears again before shattering and dissolving into sparks.

Wasting no time she went in for the kill and zoomed over to cut the thing down. But it managed to halt her slash by grabbing onto her arm. It pulled her close and forced a knee into her gut that made her buckle a bit under the force. While she was still in the air it delivered a strong punch to her cheek that drove her to the floor. Lifting its armored boot it stomped on her blade shattering it. Seeing her blade shatter she diracted a hateful glare toward's her opponent who's for got covers again by the golden hue. Looking to the left she found a steelpipe lying with in her arms reach. Quickly she rolled towards it, grabbed the pipe and flipped to a standing position. She swung the pipe with all her might and managed to hit it in the side. The force behind the blow bend the pipe and propelled her opponent in to the wall. The wall began to crack under the impact and brittle started to crumble of. She leaped over and tried to pierce the pipe through its helmet. Tilting its head to the side it managed to avoid the deadly blow. It grabbed onto her shoulder and and spinning to the right it slammed her into the wall it was previously driven into. Not letting go with one hand it kept the struggling Karasuba in place and raised its other arm for a punch her eyes widening she tilted her head to the side to avoid the punch in the last moment. Her assailants arm sinking into the wall. She tried to break free again by kicking into the side of the green giant. Only for it not to budge. Out of the corner if her eyes she saw as the giant pulled its hand free of the wall, dragging electrical wires with it, she tried for a punch with her free hand but she was too late as it rammed the wires into her neck electrocuting her in the process. She fought against the current fir what seemed to be an eternity. But after a while her mangled body could hold up to the strain anymore and the last thing she saw was the reflection of her paintwisted face in its golden visor before she too passed out.

With the Master Chief

John was tired. That was fir sure. The entry of the atmosphere and his landing had taken a toll an him. After he came to a stop he willed his armor to release the lock. The shieldgenerators warning claxon still blaring into his ears. His hud came online again and presented to him his current location. A dusty destroyed room with him lying on a pile of rubble. Then his focus shifted to the three skimpily dressed females, one of them being a greyhaird women, a pinkhaired and a greyhaird girl.

When he got up, the pinkhaird girl had said something before flipping out and attacking him.

Which lead to a big fight and him knocking all of them out. The greyhaird woman had been quite the challenge for his tired body but in the end he could pacify her too with loads of electricity.

Letting the unconscious women slide to the floor he contemplated his options. By the sound of voices around him he guessed he had landed in a heavily populated area. Using his neural implant he willed his armors senorarray to draw him a picture of his surroundings. The minimap at the corner slowly filling itself out. To go by the map he was a little bit off the center of the city. Enlarging the map he found an industrial district close to the harbour. Deciding it would be a good place to lay low for some time and get a grip of the situation he found himself in. He let his view pan over the bodies of the three he had just put to sleep, he decided he would take one with them for interrogation. He picked the greyhaird woman up that lay at his feet and slung her over his shoulder.

Suddenly he heard the noise of helicopters approaching from the entrance he made. It was high time to leave so it seemed. With that he made his way to the back of the room where the wall had crumble due to the pink haireds vicious punch.

He had questions indeed. Like how these three could do what they did. Curious very curious.

M.B.I HELICOPTERS ENROUTE TO CRASHSITE

Takami was on one of the helicopters enroute to the crashsite with her she had the first response team of M.B.I.s private army that were used to keep casualties on a minimum during the sekireiplan and was there to back up the police in certain insidence.

They were just about to arrive on the scene and she was busy giving out orders to her teams.

"Alright people when we set down I want you to fan out and secure the perimeter. Look for injured civilians and give them first aid until the ambulance arrives. Squad 1 will go with me to the impactsite to gather data. The disciplinary squad is already there taking matters in hand."

The helicopters set down on the street outside of the crashsite and all the teams fanned out to follow their orders. Meanwhile Takami and squad 1 went into the building to met up with the disciplinary squad.

What they saw inside shocked them quite a bit as they weren't prepared to find the physical superior sekirei lying in the room unconscious. Through out the wreck room they could see sings of a fight. Two members of the team went straight away to check up on Benizubasa and Hayane. Finding both of them unconsciousband with mild physical traumas they were both brought to one of the helicopters to transport them back to MBIs medical facility in Shin Tower.

Takami frowned. Nr. 4 Karasuba was missing. She looked at her tacpad and selected the tracking option to locate Karasubas whereabouts. All she got was the programs notice. "connection failure"

A sickening feeling made itself know in her gut. All the evidence in the room made it cleat that whatever they had found here was strong enough to deal with 3 sekirei simultaneously, the disciplinary squad no less. It was able to take out one of the strongest sekirei there is and somehow managed to get rid if their tracking chip. The only ones that could give them any insight into the happenings were still out. Only when Benizubasa and Hayane awake would they get additional information. She had to report this to Minaka straight away.

Random abandond warehouse at the harbour

The process of getting to the warehouse was slow and tedious. What with all the policepatrols and all the military personal looming around. Halfway to the abandond warehouse he found himself in, the greyhaird women had stirred, so he had to put her to sleep again.

Standing in the middle of the warehouse he let his gaze pan over its layout. It looked like any other warehouses, with crates and boxes littered around and sturdy steel support pillars, Windows beer the ceiling and to the far end of the hall he could spot an office situated underneath the ceiling. Straight away memorizing all strategic key points and marking them in his hud his towering form lumbered up to the office. The industrial staircase creaking under his weighed as he made his way up. Ripping the lock of the door of and forcing the door open he made his way inside. Having to duck and twist his body as to fit trough the door. He felt kinda bad when the women's head bumped against the doorframe. But seriously it was tough getting through the door without utterly destroying the doorframe. Inside the office he found an officechair and a controllboard presumably for the lights and the ceilingcrane. Setting the woman down in the chair he went to look around for some restraints, finding nothing worthwhile in the office he went to the groundfloor of the warehouse. Spotting a pile of junk in one corner he moved over and started to dig through them. Finding some steelpoles that he was able to bend he moved back to the office to restrain the woman. Tying her and the officechair to one of the supportpillars was easy enough. When he was done, he Sat down close to her on the floor and leant against the wall, pulling a knee up so that he was abel to rest an arm on it.

Enjoying the quiet for a moment he allowed his thoughts to wander. He began to remenis about the past. About all the campaigns he had been a part of. And then his mind drifted of to Cortana. And he felt numb again. Why was he feeling like this. It felt like watching all his brothers and sisters fall all over again. But the feeling was so much stronger this time. She was the only thing he had left. Reaching with one hand to the back of his helmet he took out the empty chip that was located at the base of his helmet. And moved his hand into his sight. In the back of his head a slow mantra began to form. "The duty of a soldier is to protect humanity. Whatever the cost." it repeated itself over and over. Again and again. But there was nothing left to protect. He was God know where. With possibly no way back. And the only constant in his life that he had was gone now too.

He placed Cortanas empty chip back into his helmet.

His eyes starring straight into the wall. But he didn't see the wall. All he saw were his memoriess of Cortana playing of in front of him.

After some time he set the warning system of his armor to wake him to off when his captive moved. Closing his eyes he drifted of to sleep.

With Karasuba

She didn't know where she was. Looking around herself she saw children sitting inside padded glassboxes staring off into the distance. She walked along the walkway inbetween the boxes studying the children. Something about them gave her the chills. Her Karasuba got the chills impossible she thought. Walking further she passed by a few other boxes when she suddenly stopped. Something was calling out to her. She turned around and and walkedd up to a few boxes. Studying the children in them. Two of them were girls and two were boys. Stepping back from one box she found that there were numbers written on them. The red headed girl had the number 087, the brown headed girl had the number 058, the blond boy had the number 034 and finally the Brown headed boy who's exprespion seemed to be the most stoic had the number 117.

Something inside her was reaching out to that boy. His number was vermilliar too but she couldn't place it.

Then people in white clothes came in and started taking the glassboxes with the children away. When a few of them just walked through her she knew what was happening. And a sickening felling made itself known in the pit of her gut. This was a vision, she slowly started to react.

Rage overtook her she would not be winged by something weak. Which one of these weird children was it. Her face usually placid face taken over by bloodlust wanting to get rid of whoever it was. She started walking again, going up to the boxes, knocking at the glass to provoke a response. There were only a few boxes left. And she found herself standing in front of 117 again knocking at his glassbox. Like all the others he kept on ignoring her. Until his box got picked up and he moved his head and stared into her eyes.

At that moment she knew that he was the one she was reacting to. How he just stared at her with his stonefaced expression. Not at all put if by her bloodthirsty expression. He just stared into her eyes.

When his box began to move she followed.

After what felt like a 10 min walk tshe found herself standing next to the box in what seemed to be a surgery room. People were bustling around them obviously busy with ssomething.

Then a mechanical sounding voice rang out. "Augmentation surgery commence"

She watched as mechanical arms moved from the ceiling tipped with needles and began injecting fluids into 117. His body beginning to strain the restraints that they had put on him. His muscles contracting in pain. But no sound came from his throat, no screaming, no nothing. He just lay there with his stony expression and endured.

All of a sudden the scenery around her shifted and she was standing in another room. This one looking as sterile as the one before with dozens of pad lining the along the walls. Then the door opened and a large group of people marched in. Wearing only tight fight shorts and bras for the women to cover their modesty. They were absurdly tall ranging from at least 7 feet to 8 feet. Everyone of them stacked with muscles. Their skin pale and litterd with scars. One after another the moved to the pads.

Scientists running back and forth giving them black tightfitting bodysuits. Then they began bolting armor piesec to their limps, chest and back.

When she turned around herself, Karasuba spotted one off them having the number 117 on his chest plate and everything clicked in place.

The thing they fought was actually human and she was reacting to it.

Their eyes met again and the scene around her began to shift.

Karasuba found herself this time in what she would call an apocalyptic world. The plaza she stood on was littered with scorched bodieds of humans. The stench in the air of burned flesh made her scrunch her nose. The skyscrapers around her were extremely tall an look futuristic many of them in the process of crumbling as titanic spiderlike warmachines moved in between them, blasting away at everthing that moved. Up in the sky far away she could spot huge ships flying around burning the earth with massive beams of energy.

Know she didn't know what was going on. She what she saw wasn't Earth anymore. There were no buildings that looked this futuristic on earth. Hell Shinto Teito was the most advanced city on the planet. But Shinto Teito paled when it was compared to the technology that was flying and walking around here. Even their space ship seems to be just a flie compared to the monstrositys flying around here.

The scene changed again and she stood on top of a roof close to what seemed like a bunker. Outside of the bunker she could see humans in futuristic armor hiding behind cover. Some were manning wicked locking turrents.

Alien looking dropships approached and hoverd over the bunker releasing weird creatures. Some of them were only 3 feet tall and carried gastanks on their backs that were connected to breathers on their face. Others looked like birds that carried shields made of energy and long guns. Then there were 9 feet tall apes that swang massive hammers killing everything in their path. What disgusted her was that the apes and the birds began to eat the dead humans, some of them were slowly eaten alive.

Now she wasn't particulary fond of humans but that wad going a little to far.

The last to aliens she was able to spot were 7 feet tall lizardmen armed with energyswords that stab and cut away on everything in their path and 10 feet tall lumbering behemoths that seemed to be made up of wiggling worms armed with a huge Canon that shot green balls if destruction.

They aliens numbering in the hundreds now were able to overwhelm the humans outside of the bunker and were now trying to open the door to it with little sucess.

On the other side of the plaza aliens began to scream as one after the other fell to an unseen foe. But Karasuba was able to spot the assailant. It was one of the humans in green armor, on a closer look she managed to spot the 117 on his chest.

And with morbid fascination she watched him slaughter everything in his path with what seemed to be with ease. The brutality he displayed as he disarmed one of the apes and use their one weapons to end them made shivers run down her spine.

Karasuba witnessed a few more similar sciences like this. All of them arousing her more and more. At the end when she was standing in a dark void the figure of the green behemoth that had slaughtered so many aliens stood in front of her, his armor covered in alien blood, he looked like a God of death. No what had she heard the aliens scream before their demise. Demon that was what they had called him.

She made up her mind she would exapt him as her Ashikabi. He would be able to grant her the bloodsheds she wished for. Heat souring through her body again. A heavy blush presenting itself on her face. Her netherreigons getting wetter.

Finally she spoke to him.

"YOU ARE MINE DEMON"

And everything around her disappeared as was forced to consciousness.

With the Master Chief.

John opened his eyes as the alarm went of signaling him the awakening of his captive.

The dream he had when he slept was odd. In his dream he had relived certain parts of his life. But what was odd was that he had seen the greyhaird woman he had taken with him for questioning. She would always stand there like a ghost, people would walk trough her and her eyes would follow his movement like a hawk.

Getting up from his position on the floor he moved to stand in front of her. As he readied himself for any unexpected situations he began to study her for more closely.

Before they had their fight her grey hair was done up into a long ponytail that reached to her lithe waist. It had undone itself in their fight and her long hair cascaded down over her shoulder and back. A lock stood out from the top of her head and her forehead was coverd with short strands. Two long bangs framed her slender face that look quite nice in her peaceful moment of unconsciousness. That would probably soon change. Letting his gaze travel further down he saw her black dress which coverd and tightly hugged her breasts and that reached just below her waist. Over that she wore a long grey coat with intricate black symbols close to her chest. On her two slender legs she wore thighhigh heeled boots.

All in all he was impressed that such a petite woman could showcase such strength. She had after all propelled his 1000kg heavy form into a wall as if it was nothing.

After what seemed like ages of her stirring and trying to find a comfortable position she slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils opening up slowly to adjust to the darkness that was in the office. At first she looked around, taking in every detail of the room, not at all put off by the situation she found herself in. And finally her eyes fell on John. He was standing in the moonlight so she could see him better.

And her peaceful expression was gone. Her eyes became halflidded and the bloodthirsty grin came back full force. What was different this time though was that John's gut didn't tell him to be weary of her. Like Chief Mendeze used to say "always follow your gut" So he relaxed his stance.

Seeing this she spoke. "Getting comfortable already aren't we."

He just shrugged before speaking in his gravely voice. "What's your name?"

Hearing him speak for the first time send shivers down Karasubas spine. His deep voice vibrating trough her bones.

"I'm not talking to a reflection of myself. If you want to talk take of that bucket of yours."

He stayed fell silent and contemplated. There was no database on this planet that had his face in it so John didn't see any harm in it. And his gut told him that it was safe enough for now. So he willed his neuralimplant to unlock his helmet.

Karasuba so two piece opening up on his helmet where his jaw would be and she could hear the swishing of air being released before he reached up to take of his helmet.

What greeted her was pale wrinkeld face with a pair of the sternest Brown eyes she had ever seen. The thin scar running over his right eye only accentuating it. The black hair on his head was cut in a short military buzzcut. His lips set into a firm line.

Karasuba started giggling. The giggling turned to full blown laughter. In between her laughing she managed to say.

"Hahahahahaha I got my ass handed to me by a grougy old man. This is too funny. Hahaha"

John's deep voice rang out again. "Now what's your name?"

Hearing him speak she stopped laughing and answerd. "I'm NR. 4 Karasuba."

"Your not human. What are you?"

"Quick on the uptake aren't we old man. But I can't tell you before you give me something." Karasuba managed to say before her reacting came back full force.

Her face became flushed, her breath comming out in heavy breaths. Trinkets of sweat started to form on her exposed skin and she tried to wiggle in her restrains. Rubbing her knees together trying to placate the exciteness that started to build up in her netherreigons.

Seeing the change that Karasuba suddenly went trough, John stepped closer and got down on a knee. He reached out with his hand to feel her pulse, checking if she was alright.

In a show of strength that startled John Karasuba managed to free her hands from her restrains and grabbed for him. Trying to move out of the way John was too slow and Karasuba moving with him managed to get a hold on him. Through the sudden load of weight on John he fell backwards tacking Karasuba and the chair with him.

John tried to push her of but Karasuba was faster again as she cupped his face with her hand and smashed her lips against his.

What came next surprised John even further. Black crowlike glowing wings burst forth from the base of her neck and started to cover the walls of the office, bathing the in their glow.

John tried again to part from her, but Karasuba wrabbed her hands around his head and deepened the kiss further. Slipping her tongue into his mouth she began to explorer every part of his mouth and started to tangle with his tongue.

When the need for air became too strong Karasuba bit into his lip and drew some blood before parting them. She sat up, still straddling him, eyes lidded, maniacal grin in place, her tongue slide out and kicked of his blood that was still on her lips she spoke. "I am Sekirei Number 4 Karasuba the black Sekirei and you are my Ashikabi now and forever."

John only felt confusion as he listens to her and he spoke "I have to have a serious conversation with you."

Maincontrollroom M.B.I

Takami was having a fit again a few hours ago Benizubasa and Hayane had regained conscious. Of course the questioning of the two had begun straight away and what they heard was worrying. The told them about a hulking 7 feet tall armored giant that could easily outmanouver them. When they told them that after they had thought to have landed a hit on it it was protected by a golden aura like hue. When Takami told them that Karasuba was taken by it they wanted to straight away go after it. But Takami told then she didn't know where they were and that Karasubas tracking chip was fryed. So they had to stay put.

As Takami got back to the maincontrollroom the alarm went of again signaling a winging.

The picture that appears on the screen was of Karasuba showing her tama coming online. But no picture of an Ashikabi appeared next to hears. Meaning she was wiaged by someone that wasn't in their database. Thinking about it further dread befell her as she came to the only possible conclusion. That the one in the armor was an Ashikabi.

She had to go to Minaka again. And she didn't feel like meeting him at all today. Better to get it over with she thought.
