a few years have passed since the end of the Clone Wars, and the UNSC declares war on the Galactic Empire. Fiend-205, grieving over the many losses he faced during the war, and post war, is paired up with a new Spartan Recruit, (Y/N) (L/N). together...
I was sitting in the back of a Pelican heading over to the UNSC Infinity. I look down. it had been a few months since the attack on Oban, when we lost. when I lost. when I lost her... why must I always lose everyone close to me!? first I lose Chief after Installation 08 blew up. then I lost Roland during an attack during the Clone Wars. then I lost my mother AND Koltend during Order 66! now... I lost her.... why did Ahsoka have to be a hero? WHY!? WHY CAN'T I HAVE ANYTHING!!?? I jump up and go to punch the wall of the Pelican, but manage to stop myself when my fist comes inches to the metal wall. I then drop to the ground, curl into a ball, and cry. I hear footsteps and look up at Kaitlyn, my cousin

Kaitlyn: you ok?
I shake my head. she sits on the floor of the Pelican next to me and pulls me into a comforting hug, which I return
Kaitlyn: shh.. its ok..
Fiend: no.. its not.... it will never be ok again...
Kaitlyn: yes, it will. you'll move on, sooner or later
I shake my head violently. she sighs and takes her helmet off
Kaitlyn: take your helmet off
I do as instructed, placing my helmet in my lap before looking Kaitlyn in her eyes. I don't know why, but something about looking in her green eyes is just... soothing. no, stop it reader, get those incest thoughts out of your god damn head. she wipes the tears from my eyes
Kaitlyn: listen here, lil' cous. you lived 15 years without her, you can continue to do it now. she would want you to
Fiend: a-are you... are you sure?
Kaitlyn smiles
Kaitlyn: as sure as a Boxing Kangaroo is strong
I smile, despite still feeling broken. Kaitlyn gives me a kiss on the forehead (INCEST THOUGHTS, FUCKING GET RID OF THEM READERS I'M WARNIN' YOU) before putting her helmet back on and getting up. I do the same. before she heads back to the cockpit she turns to me
Kaitlyn: good luck
Fiend: thanks Kaitlyn. love you
Kaitlyn: love you too lil' cous
she heads back into the cockpit, and I grab my battle rifle. I then hear over the comms
Kaitlyn: hey, you need anything, you let me know. ok?
Fiend: yeah, will do
the Pelican hatch then opens and I step out. I see 2 Spartans, one I recognized as Commander Palmer, and the other one I didn't. she was female, and wore Mark V [B] amor, with a Commando Helmet, EVA and ODST shoulders and FJ/PARA knees. and it looked like she froze the second she saw me
