Gariton Military Training Base

Sgt. Jopikins Weapons Education and History Class
"Now, as you know class, the Covanent use energy based weapons for the most part, so once the energy runs out, they are useless. A few exceptions are the Needler and the Carbine, which run on magizine type ammuniton", said Sgt. Jopikins. He was a rather average sized man who was in the Marines himself, but when the Covenant were discovered in the Milky Way Galaxey, he was sent to teach adolesents about the military incase the Covenant tried to invade.
Pvt. Yonz sat at the back of the class, and was always board to death because he was one of the smartest students in his class, but he never go to answer questions because the teacher wanted the others to have a chance. He was an 8th grade student and he and his group of friends called themselves the "Rough Riders" There was the leader and sniper, him, Pvt. Billy Yonz; the expert tactican, Pvt. Paul Tackew; the driver, Pvt. Neil Koenier; the demolitons expert, Pvt. Samuel Poming; and the close combat expert, Pvt. Dick Gozinya. Yonz was a heavier kid, 14 years old, and wore the ODST style BDUs with the helmet off. He loved his S2 and never goes anywhere without his M6C pistol.
Suddenly, the emergency alarm started, and startled everyone in the class.
"Didn't we just have a Battle Stations drill yesterday?" asked Pvt. Gonzalaz. Just then, Major Endozizzo came on the P.A. system and said,"This is not a drill, I repeat, THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Covenant forces have been reported 50 miles away, everyone ready your weapons and get to battle stations, Endozizzo out."
"Oh crap; You heard the man, get to battle stations!" sceamed Sgt. Jopikins. And nobody disobeyd him. Yonz grabed the first weapon he saw in the armory, a Battle Rifle. Oh well, better than nothing. He ran down the hall while putting his helmet on the room C5, the geography and tactics room. He stayed thier with on of his friends, Erick Abbot. Major E. came over the PA system and said 5 pelicans of real Marines were on thier way to the instilation.

Geography and Tactics room
"Damn, those covies are taking to damn long." said Yonz. He was right, they were told five hours ago to hold positons, but no Covenant showed up, or the Marines. Just then, plasma cannons were heard firing, and a huge crash was heard. Yonz looked out the door. "Holy fuck dude." were the first words out of his mouth. The back end of a pelican stuck though the roof, with the troop compartment right side up.[It was at a fourty five degree angle with the nose pointing up and the tail and troop bay keeping it up.] He ran over to the troop bay just as others came pouring out of thier classrooms. He led his buddy Erick up the floor in the bay, with his BR55 facing the closed cockpit.
He opened the door and was horiffied by what he saw. The plasmas that had ben firing before were the belly guns of a Phantom dropship, and on shot manged to tear through the glass on the front leaving a gaping hole and the waist down of the piolt. The co-piolt who sat on the right had blood all over him and his left arm was no where to be found.
"Shit, we better get out of here." Yonz said. He and Erick walked through the hole in the cockpit onto the roof of the building, and promply gunned down two grunts and an elite. He looked up and saw a Phantom flying over the tree line. But he also saw four flying towards the base, all carring Wraith morter tanks in the grav-lifts.
"Erick, we are in for one hell of a fight. Now I'm about the put THE FEAR OF GOD into the hearts of some Covenant bastards, how 'bout you?"
"Oh you know it."
"Lets go." and he opened up a comm and said," I have four incoming Phantoms all caring Wraiths; as much help as possible needed on the roof. Just get up through the Pelican sticking through the roof." About thirty seconds later twenty eight other Marine trainies were on the roof with him. About that time, the Phantoms dropped thier Wraiths and thier Special ops. soilders.
"Okay snipers get to work. Eight soilders immediatly layed down on the edge of the building, and opened up on the black clad aliens. Three grunts immediatly dropped and the comined fire of the others dropped two elites. The rest of the soilders hide behind the Wraiths, two of which were destroyed by the impact of the fall.
"Okay, lets get rockets on the edges of those tanks so that the combined shrapnel of the two rockets will shower the Covies and cause massive damage. The rest of us, exculeding the snipers will flank them from the right when the rockets explode. Eight soilders stayed on the roof and Yonz led the last 14 off the roof and around the right.
