Childhood Love Interest
(Romance) The children that will make up the first Spartan II training class have been gathered together and are beginning their indoctrination and training. During an early training exercise John is extremely confident and thinks he will surely win but he actually comes in second to one of female cadets, let?s call her Lindsay. When the instructors aren?t looking Lindsay sticks her tongue out at him to show that she knows how much it bothers John that she beat him.
Later, he finds her and asks her how she managed to beat him. Lindsay teases him and toys with him, but won?t tell him her secret. Before they?re called to their bunks for lights out, Lindsay quickly plants a kiss right on his lips and then runs away back to the girls? barracks. Little John walks away, a little stunned, as we cut to?
? a training montage. We see quick clips of the kids training, playing sports, goofing off, and growing up. We see quiet yet romantic moments between John and Lindsay. We also see that she continues to be the only cadet that ever beats John in the competitions and training exercises. And all of this is set to a rousing, and sure-to-be popular, hip-hop tune.
The montage ends as we encounter our Spartan cadets several years later. Now, obviously teenagers, John and Lindsay are each in command of their own squad during yet another training execise (Lindsay, of course, is a pretty young thing, all lithe and sexy, and in no way resembling a young woman who has endured intense physical and military training for several years without a break). It?s a night exercise during a rather rainy night using live ammunition. Things appear to be going okay, but eventually something GOES WRONG. Lindsay takes command to try and get everyone out safely, but someone dies. Lindsay take full responsibility and is washed out of the program. As she walks to the transport that will take her away from her Spartan family forever, she and John share one last long look at each other. John breaks eye contact first and walks away, a little sad, as we cut to?
? another training montage. We see more clips of training and what not, but with a harder, less playful edge. We watch the bio-enhancement process and eventually see the Spartans received their armor and graduate. We see the armored Spartans engage in various missions over the years. All of this is set to yet another hip-hop tune, this a little less happy and robust, intermixed with bits of voice-over narration telling us about the bio-enhancements, the armor, and the nature of the missions.
As the movie progresses, John, now known only as The Master Chief, finds himself and a number of marines on Halo. During one intense firefight, Master Chief is saved from a stealthed elite. The person who killed this elite turns out to be none other than Lindsay, who found success in an elite Marine unit, the ODSTs. Master Chief is happy to see his long lost friend, but Lindsay is cold and says, ?It?s nice to see that even with all that armor and fancy upgrades, you still need my help, John. Or, I suppose I should call you Master Chief. Follow me, the captain wants to see you.?
Eventually, during a quite moment, she admits that she never stopped loving John even when she wanted to hate him. They share a tender moment, and she leads John, who has removed his armor for now, back to her tent.
After fleeing the swamp installation where the flood are first discovered, Lindsay is mortally wounded. Master Chief say that she can make it to the evac point, but Lindsay says she?s done and begs him to set her down. She doesn?t want to slow him down while he?s trying to escape. She asks him to take his helmet off so she can see his face one last time. She looks into his eyes and reminds him of all the times she beat him during training as kids. He says he remembers, but that he never figured out she managed it. ?I never held anything back, John. I gave everything I had because I had to be the best. Now I need you to do the same thing. Give everything you have. If you hold anything back, then these damn zombies, these? flood will beat us and spread to our homes and our families. Promise me, John, promise me you won?t hold anything back.?
?I promise, Lindsay. I love you.?
?I love you too, John.? And with that she dies.
Master Chief stands up, puts his helmet back on, looks around, and is teleported away by 343 Guilty Spark.
It?s now the end of the movie. The PoA?s reactor is about to go critical. Master Chief is racing for the last available ship in the PoA?s docking bay. As he?s running toward the waiting ramp of the Longsword, a single flood-infected marine moves to block his way. As he raises his shotgun, the Master Chief suddenly realizes that this isn?t just any marine? it?s Lindsay. Master Chief can?t fire. Cortana is screaming at him, ?That isn?t Lindsay, it?s just another flood. Kill it and get on board. We don?t have much time. Chief, please.?
A single sound escapes from the Flood. A word, ?Jooooohhhn.? Then it leaps into the air, attacking the Master Chief and he finally fires his shotgun. The body lands limp on the ground and the Master Chief runs right over it into the Longsword.
Cortana quietly says, ?I?m sorry you had to do that.?
?You were right. It wasn?t her. Just a flood infection using her corpse. It?s over. Let?s get out of here before we?re corpses too.? With that, he pushes the throttle forward and the Longsword rockets out of the PoA?s docking bay towards open space.
