Halo: Uprising Issue 2: Difference between revisions

[[John-117]] is questioned about where the [[Key of Osanalan]] is on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], while [[Io Station]] tries to contact him. The [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] interrogates the Chief, asking about the [[Key of Osanalan]] and he gives a reply, telling him it meant "to always strip your enemies of weapons before you interrogate him." He promptly sticks a [[plasma grenade]] on the Chieftain's groin, blowing him and several [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] nearby away. Some surviving Grunts get together, trying to find the escaped Chief.

The scene cuts to [[Cleveland]], where the humans are gathered together, questioned by a Brute about the Key of Osanalan, [[Ruwan]] knows exactly what it was. The Brute, ordering the humans to bring him the key, got his sentence cut off, and is attacked by [[ODST]] troops dropping off from [[Hornets]]. Everyone flees, and as [[Myras Tyla]] escapes with Ruwan, she questions how she had lived her life, and blames it all on her boyfriend, [[Philip]]. With twisted fervor, she pushes herself to escape, while thinking of spending a new life with Ruwan. She picks up a fallen [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]].

Everything is chaos; Myras, having found Ruwan, escapes together, riding a [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog|Warthog]] to safety. They head to a section of the city not under attack, Myras killing off three Grunts with an overcharged plasma pistol. They help themselves to some supplies on the Warthog, and set up a little camp for themselves. They chatted a while, and almost kissed. Suddenly, the ground shakes and chunking sounds are heard as a [[Scarab]] appears while they run to relative safety.
