Dark Pov
After sealing the door I came from I continue through the facility but without a map or something or will be difficult to locate the room with the key for now my only option is to search every room or hallway I come across but that also increases my chance of facing sentinels or worse swarms of flood if my armour takes too much damage it will not end well since it would require more control than usual without my armour's power limiters but thats not a problem yet with that I continue my exploration.
As I was exploring the hallway I came across scorch marks on the wall however the marks do not look like it came from sentinel lazers which begs the question what kind of weapon that made them it should not be covenant weapons ether since they not able to damage forerunner facilities I hope I do not run into what ever made them. After inspecting the marks I continue moving as I move it's see a lot of destroyed sentinel I know this is not a good sign is the only thought on my mind as I see a door on the right I could continue down the hallway bit I need to find a terminal that has access to the facility's schematic so I can figure out where the rings key is I do not have a lot of time I know by now Master Chief and my team are probably being briefed of their mission meaning there will be about an hour before they drop onto the ring and chase after the prophet of Regret which means I need to hurry as ones they arrive I have about 24 hours to get to the library not sure how i am gonna do that since i am not sure where it is located on the ring but for now i need that schematic so I can find the key with that thought I went to the door it seem to detect me and open.
As it I watch the door open I can see a small room with a terminal at the end of it if this was a game you would think this was a mini boss room but this is not a game the chance of something jumping out as I enter the room is no high but if you think about it there was the scorch marks earlier which makes it seem possible but the terminal appears to be functioning so it's my best bet on getting a schematic of the facility so with that I walk into the room not long after entering the door closes and the lights on it indicating it's unlocked turned red meaning it's now locked "shit" as soon as that came out of my mouth the ceilings opened up and a huge spider like sentinel fell from above. The spider sentinel has 8 legs and on the joints of the legs their were purple orbs it also had a modified sentinel lazer where it's mouth should be I can make it out to be modified because as the spider landed it shot a lazer from it's mouth which I quickly dodged and I was able to see the colour was jet black the lazer even damaged the floor where I was stood.
After dodging if first attack I position myself and point my smgs at the spider sentinel I am able to destroy one of its legs before I see what the purple orbs on its joints are for as beam shot from them and head in my direction I react quickly and roll out of the way however my arm is still hit as my helmet displays that my armour on my arm has been penetrated although my arm actual arm receives no damage the armion my arm is not useless so I pull it off exposing my arm after doing this I point my smgs at another one of its legs and blast it away this time however the spider just charges at me I am hit by it's charge and blasted into the wall behind me as I pick myself up I see the spider sentinel charging the lazer in it's mouth as it launches the lazer at me I dive out of the way and throw a grenade I had kept since I was droped directly at the sentinel and the explosion destroys 3 more of its legs that leave 3 left but as I was getting ready to shot one of the remaining legs the purple orbs on its remaining legs begin to glow and I try to dodge the lazer but just like earlier the lazers are too fast and destroys the armour covering my other arm still missing my actual arm with that I open fire and destroy 2 more legs before it can no longer support it's own weight as it's body hits the floor unfortunately for me it seems to realise it can no longer rely on it's last leg and the leg just detaches from it's body before a light blue light appears on the bottom of its body and it begins to hover off the ground " you have got to be kindling me" I had thought destroying its legs woukd stop it but no which forerunner thought it needed to have to forms of mobility I guess all thats left it's to target it's laser in its mouth with this thought I point both of my smgs at its mouth and unload my ammo into it and after what seemed like an eternity it finally explodes leaving only its wreckage behind with that thing dead i quickly head over to the terminal only to realize without the armour for my arms Destiny has no way to access the terminal I sign knowing that I will have to use the connector cord in my helmet this cord connects direct to the neural interface on the back of my neck a direct connection can get uncomfortable but it's nessasry for Destiny to get what I need without further delay I pull the cord from the back of my helmet and attach it to the terminal the moment I do Destiny gets to work and she even copies the data and stores it into the systems database ones that's done she uses the terminal to unlock the door after that I detach the cord and put it back into my helmet and turn around and go to the door once I am close I check my ammo only to see that I have enough ammo to reload my smgs twice not enough to last meaning I may have to rely on sentinel lazers to go further after I run out with that I exit the room.
A/N that's it for this chapter I hope you enjoyed the fight with the spider sentinel this was my first time writing a scene that has this much combat that involves a strong opponent bare inmind he can not use his Dark Matter powers since he is on the ring and has no idea what will happen if he does so he had to rely on his weapons and physical abilities thanks for reading.
