Stage Four: Biohazard
Location: Alpha Base, ER
Time:??? hours


The sound of a steady beeping meter filled Matthew’s ears. He opened his eyes and sat up from his stretcher. “Aw man what the hell did I do yesterday? I have a massive headache!” “You don’t remember!?” Caitlin said from his side. “No I don’t enlighten me…” Matthew said dryly slumping back on the stretcher.

“Well” Caitlin started. “This is my side of the story; I went to pick you up from Gamma because you had some work to do here.” “Go on” said Matt. “I noticed when I got inside the base all the lights were off and flashlights and gun fire lighted the hallway.”

“So I knew something was wrong so I called out your name, then these things ripped apart a nearby marine and I saw you running straight at me really fast.” “Your eyes didn’t seem normal at all they were red!” “They were?” Matthew asked. “Yeah it’s like you turned into a completely different person, anyways you picked me up and ran towards the warthog”

“Then when we got in I hate to literally scream at you to start the car cause those things, they were getting closer. So we drove away at very quick speed. You had such a fierce look in your eyes it scared me, those things were actually following us in warthogs!” “They were?” he asked.

“Yeah! But you told me to drive and you went to the back of the car and grabbed a rocket and blew up a warthog. After that you fired three or four rounds at the gunner then jumped on the warthog. You broke through the glass and somehow blew up the warthog I didn’t see what happened next”

Greg looked at me “And you saying you don’t remember any of this??” “No” Matt started “I remember going to Gamma and was about to take out the flood in the lock downed room when a scientist told me that it was necessary to take a vaccine before entering the room, when he gave it too me my body started shaking and I blacked out, about 30 seconds later I got back up and…..” his voice trailed off.

“And what happened?” Caitlin asked. “I don’t remember the rest but the scientist injected me with a vaccine right?” Matt replied. “Yeah that’s what you said” Greg said. “Then the vaccine probably didn’t mix right with you augmentations” a voice said. I looked to my right there was a doctor now by my side a girl.

“I’ve done a test on your blood the vaccine did take it’s affect but it’s also altered you cellular makeup you will never be infected by an infection form flood ever again” the doctor said. “Now there’s bad news, when your adrenaline raises the effect causes an unknown reaction inside your body and you act on your own with improved reflexes and abilities”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Matthew asked. “Not necessarily, I’ve seen something like this before but the patient had died before I had a chance to inspect him, anyways you managed to survive you have your augmentations to thank for that.” “Now the bad news is you might not always be able to control your actions and you run the risk of dying because of extreme pressure in your body”

“So basically you’re saying if I can control this ability and master it I can alternate between these phases?” Matthew asked curiously. “Yes…” the doctor said. “But one more thing due to the amount of energy you need to maintain this you will be quite tired afterwards” “Ok maybe I should think of a name for this……Flare yeah! That sounds good”

Matthews says. “So what happened to my tux?” he asked. “Um well on our way back it um got…totalled” Caitlin said. “WHAT?!?!” Matthew exclaimed nearly jumping out of his stretcher. “Calm down we got you another one it’s red with a black tie” Greg said.

“Phew good thing cause you know how much that cost me?” “Yes like $300 anyways what was it like seeing Josh again?” Greg asked. “Hmm?” Matthew said puzzled. “Josh’s combat form flood” Greg repeated. “Well I don’t remember entirely but their was parts of Josh and Spartan armour and that’s all I remember”

Matthew sat up from the stretcher and got out of it. He looked down at himself he was in new clothing it was a Salvy sweatshirt with some baggy jeans. “Here” Caitlin said. She was holding Matt’s M6D he took in and put it into his pocket. He walked out of the ER and looked down to the entrance doors. There was small vomit coloured things trying to barge through the doors they succeeded……

Matthew’s eyes went wide in horror as he soon recognized the green thing, they were infection form floods. Marines in the halls noticed them and began to fire at them but their efforts were futile as the flood quickly overwhelmed them. Their screams quickly alerted other marines. “Hold still!” “Stop fidgeting I’m trying to get it off!” marines’ calls entered the hallway but were all too soon absorbed by the flood.

About 30 seconds later the flood had consumed almost every living marine in the hallway and now in their placed were walking combat forms. Matthew ran outside the ER telling Caitlin and Greg to gear up and for them to grab his armour.


He was going into Flare mode for the first time…

Stage Five: Invasion
Location: Alpha Base, New Mombassa
Time: 0:00 (midnight) hours


Combat forms swarmed the hallways groaning. Matthew ducked behind a desk and loaded his M6D. He was about to get up when the lights cut out cancelling all his built up adrenalin. “$hit! The lights are out” he cursed out loud. He needed his Mark VI armour now more than ever but he would have to fight his way towards it, in the darkness.

He managed to make out a flashlight on the ground he picked it up and flicked the switch on. The light quickly engulfed the entire room “Too bright” Matthew muttered to himself quickly dimming the light. With the light dimmed to a pale yellow color no one would notice him. He proceeded outside the room he was in. He could see flood patrolling the hall for any remaining survivors.

He quickly moved down the halls franticly looking for the right hallway finally after what seemed like hours looking he stood in front of his quarters. He opened the door to find a figure lying on his bed, he couldn’t make it out yet so he got closer. The face was unidentifiable in the dark so he raised the flashlight to the face. What he saw nearly made him fall backwards.

It was Sam. He spoke to her quietly “Sam, wake up we gotta get out of here!” No answer “Come on stop fooling, look I’m sorry about last week ok? There I said I’m sorry” Still no answer. Worried about Sam’s condition he checked her pulse…..There was none. “She dead…” Matthew brightened the light and searched her body. There were energy sword wounds, bullets holes and swelling in some areas showing some broken bones.


Slowly Matthew started to cry he tried to hold the tears back but they kept on flowing. After about 2 minutes he got a hold of himself. “Now, I’ll never be able to say I was sorry” he sniffled. He remembered the pistol she gave to him in case of an emergency situation. He drew it from his pocket and took his combat knife and etched out the words ‘I love you’ on it.

He rested the pistol in her hands swearing to get her revenge. He looked to the right and saw his Mark VI armour he quickly assembled the pieces on his body then put the helmet on. Question flooded through his head on he was able to answer;


‘Why am I sad should the augmentations disable most of my emotions?’

Then here remembered before he had the operation the doctors knew what kind of person he was, if he had no emotions his life would be ruined. He now knew what it was that separated him from the other Spartans.

He holstered the M6D and whipped out the shotgun he had kept in the secondary weapon holder. He loaded a shell in to the M90 and felt the burning rage of his hatred to the flood. Matthew looked into the reflection of his visor his eyes had turned red and a crescent moon emblem was found in his eyes.

Now ready to fight he cocked the shotgun and went right out the door. He turned on the flashlight installed into his suit and saw many combat forms prowling the halls. He rushed forward at the closest one and fired a round right into its face. Yellowish blood spewed out its head before imploding.

The sound of the shotgun blast alerted Greg and Caitlin who were father down the halls walking quietly. Greg was geared up in his Mark VI armour and Caitlin had a BR55. Greg turned his flashlight on and rushed towards Matt. “There’s too many of them we have to face them outside where there’s more room!” “Makes sense” Matt replied.

Caitlin had something in her hands it was a bomb! “You guys go on ahead I’ll make sure the bomb goes off” she said turning to the timer. “Caitlin…” Matt said. “Go! I already have the timer set to 2:00 minutes!” she said raising her voice. “Ok, goodbye Caitlin” Greg and Matt said. “See you on the other side!” she waved smiling. For a person who has two minutes left to live they sounded pretty happy.

“Come on Matt lets go and where’s Samantha?” Greg said. “She’s dead” Matt said slowly. “Damn….Well lets get going” he said. “I’m not leaving her behind!” Matt shouted. “Whoa, chill man if want to take her fine” Greg said freaked out. Matthew ran back to his quarters and picked up Sam’s body and ran to the exit with Greg. When they got there combat forms were closing in and the door was barred shut.

“30 secon—!” a voice shouted (probably Caitlin’s) but was cut off. “$hit Caitlin’s gone as well!” Matthew cursed again. “Well Matt it was nice knowing you” Greg said pressing against the metal door as the flood slowly started to close in on them. “Not yet” Matt simply said. With that he delivered a swift kick to the door and they busted open.

’15 seconds!’

Matthew thought to himself running for dear life towards his car. Greg got in the passenger seat and Matt got in driver first putting Sam’s body down in the back seat. “DRIVE!” yelled Greg as the flood quickly closed in on the vehicle. Matt activated the nitro and blew right out of the base.

There was a click inside of his head knowing the bomb had gone off. Greg looked behind him “HOLY $hit!” he exclaimed as the base imploded sending a shockwave of energy towards the warthog nearly throwing it off course.

Everything inside the base and outside in a 15 metre radius was utterly obliterated. Matthew drove to Delta base where the ODSTs were and the remaining marines of Alpha. Marines and ODSTs alike saw him get out of the car with Sam’s body they all rushed outside. Matthew merely bowed his head in silence.

At last he mumbled a word to a nearby marine. “Shovel” the marine immediately went inside the base and returned with the desired piece of equipment. The moon in the sky didn’t help anyone’s mood they were in. Halfway out in the barren dessert beside the base Matthew started digging Sam’s grave.

When he reached six feet a coffin was placed beside him. He put Sam’s corpse inside it the M6D fell out of her lifeless hands. He put it back in and closed the coffin placing it gently inside the hole. He started filling the grave up with dirt until it reached the top he patted the dirt until it was smooth.

He removed his helmet and broke out once again into tears. The marines left the area. For 5 minutes he went on crying his eyes out until he said to Greg;


Do you know what it’s like burying your best friend?

Call it early if you want but there will acctually be a Third book! I've even though of the name it'll be called Another Side...Another Story Basically it's focus on all the side stories of the people Matthew has met and lost.

It'll also focus on the dead their story up untill they lost their lives. I can belive I have gotten this far.... I gunna keep on writing thank you everyone on B.net for there continued support!

I plan on getting the first book published or something that it'll make it to go public. I enjoy that!

But in the end my friends do not fret there is alot more to come of Spartans In Arms [but it's only going to go up to the 13th stage then it ends]

Spartans In Arms will continue but in a sequal form because Another Side.....Another Story will be an entirely new book. I haven't thought of the name for the book after Another Side ....Another Story but I'm working on it.

This is great! My parents are proud of me because I'm writing at such a young age [13!] and I'm doing something ''Constructive" Well I know I'm doing somthing good :)

Thank you again for you continued support.

Stage Six: Go To Sleep
Location: 30 Metres in front of Delta Base
Time: 200 hours


“No” Greg started. “I don’t know what it’s like to bury my best friend,” Matthew wiped a tear from his eye and stood up “She was my best friend, I loved her now she’s gone forever” “Don’t worry at least we can assume she died fighting for a good reason” Greg said putting a hand on Matt’s shoulder.

“Yeah you’re probably right, let’s go we have work to do.” Matthew headed for the warthog he hopped inside of it he paused for a minute while at the wheel. He thought of all the good times and bad times he had while Sam was still alive, he was about to cry but he held back the tears knowing that no matter how many tears he cried she wasn’t going to come back.

He started up the car it stuttered for a second then finally started up. To be honest Matthew didn’t know where he was going he just drove down the road eventually headed out of the base’s perimeter. Things weren’t the same without Sam losing her was the equivalent of loosing a part of himself.

When he finally realized he was driving no where he going no where he turned the car around and drove to Gamma. “Where are we going?” Greg asked. “Gamma, there’s something I feel I have to do there I don’t know what,” Matt answered. A couple minutes later they reached the base.

Matt got outside the car and shut it behind him. The front door entrance was locked down from the last time before barging in Matt turned to Greg.

“Your gunna need this,” “What?” he asked. Matt stabbed a needle [the Flood antivirus] into his neck. “Ow,” he said. Matthew waited for some odd after effect like what happened to him…. There was none then he realized it only affected him.

He turned to the door “It’s locked down….look like we gotta find another wa--” Matthew kicked down the door and walked inside. “Never mind then...” Greg corrected himself. The bases’ lights were dimmed and the emergency lights flickered and the smell of death loomed the air…..it was sickening.

“Home sweet home” Matthew joked. “Hey Matt what happened to Gredome and Kelly?” Greg asked. “Well Gredome told me he went back to another planet and Kelly went back to the UNSC for another mission, so that means were on our own solo mission…getting rid of the flood is our primary objective” “I see,” Greg said.

Matthew walked forward took out his M90 and cocked it “Anyone home?” He took a few more steps and something lunged at him but he was two steps ahead of his and moved out of the way. He turned on his flashlight to reveal the unknown attacker. What he was made his stomach turn the figure was a deformed human.

Its arteries were sticking out of its mouth causing it to make a low disgusting, gurgling sound. It had a regular human arm but one was extended twice the size of a human’s. Matthew raised the M90 to his shoulder and kicked the combat form down. It tried to get back up but Matt stepped on its chest.

He pulled the trigger and it imploded. Greg just started at him for a minute they said; “You lead” They proceeded down the when Matt said “Greg…” “Yeah?” “Do you remember back in the day there used to be a game called Resident Evil 4?” “Yeah” Greg said stepping over some rubble. “Well this $hit is like something out of it and a bad dream”

“I hear ya,” When they turned a corner there was another combat form but it wasn’t like a regular one; this one had spikes all over it.

“Someone help me!” a voice said running. It was a human no doubt but alive?! The combat form grabbed the running victim and pulled it towards it extending its spikes impaling the human. The victim exhaled very slowly then went totally limp. Greg shuddered then said “That looks like an Iron Maiden…” “Yeah,” Matt said. The Iron Maiden retracted its spikes and the human fell dead on the ground slightly twitching.

The Iron Maiden went to grab Greg but he dodged the attempt. Matthew ran up to it and blew its head off. He walked away thinking the fight was over but to his horror and surprise the head grew back!

“Greg I think I know how these combat forms aren’t normal…” “How?!” Greg asked. “Well when the vaccine as injected inside me Gamma still had an entire room full of them so the flood absorbed the vaccine and it….changed them.”

“That’s not good to hear” Greg mumbled. Matthew pumped another round inside the Iron Maiden but its wounds healed at incredible speeds. Furious He unloaded his entire clip into it with each round cutting off his sentence.

”Why--!” “Won’t--!” “This--!” “Thing--!” “DIE!?!”
