Team Delta volume: 2



Will decided to chuck one of his pistols at the Elite's head. The Elite dodged it. The Elite was approaching fast and raised his sword to strike. In a last ditch effort Will pistol-whipped the Elite's head with the butt of his magnum. It got through the Elite's shield, but it was too late. The Elite slashed Will with his sword right across the stomach. He fell to the ground on his back. There was a white-hot pain across his chest. The Elite then finished the job with a killing blow.

John, Sam, and José were having problems of their own. Although all of the Wraiths had blown up, there was still 4 Banshees left. One of the Banshees was strafing and firing on a group of Marines, so José got out his last M41-SSR Rocket launcher. He locked onto the Banshee and fired his last rocket. It hit the Banshee and it erupted in flame, and then crashed to the ground.
"One down, three more to go!" Shouted José. Then John saw another Banshee circling above them, ready to fire. It then swooped down on them. John took his chance and jumped onto the banshee's wing. He opened the cockpit, grabbed the Elite driving it, and threw him off of the Banshee to his death. John then climbed into the cockpit and began to rain down fire on the Covenant. Once they realized the Banshee wasn't on their side John was already out of the Banshee back at the bunker.
"Good one" shouted Sam.
John looked to his right and saw that many of the Marines were dropping suddenly. When he realized why, he shouted "Get DOWN!"
But it was too late. The Covenant sniper using the Beam Rifle had shot Sam. John rushed to his aid, but it was too late. He was dead.

Li couldn't believe it when he saw Sam die. He followed the trail of the shot with his scope and saw the sniper. He took aim and blew of the Jackal's head. He was picking another target when he saw Will's dead body. There was an Elite standing over it so Li shot him dead. Now all that was left of Team Delta was himself, John, and José.

Meanwhile John and José were stuck trying to take out two Banshees with no rockets.
"It's no use, we can't take them out with only a few Battle Rifles and magnums!" shouted José.
"I've got an idea." said John.

He pulled out a plasma grenade that he had picked up from a dead Elite. He activated it and there was a blue glow. He chucked it at the Banshee and it stuck on the cockpit. The pilot jumped out but it was too late. The Banshee exploded into a fireball that crashed into the ground. Then José got the idea and stuck the last Banshee.

Li could tell that the humans were actually winning the battle. If they could pull this off then they might have a chance in the war. He shot a few more enemies when he realized that one of the platoons of Elites he was watching was missing. He couldn't see their dead bodies so he assumed that they went on some kind of mission. He then saw that there was an Elite commando pointing at him. Or maybe behind him...
He turned around and saw the platoon sneaking about 20 yards behind him, and they hadn't seen him yet. He quickly exchanged his Sniper for a M90 Shotgun. He dove behind a rock overlooking his old position. The first Elite up was stunned that Li was not there anymore. Acting on the Elite's surprise, Li jumped off the rock and landed on the Elite's head, crushing his body down to the ground. Then he hid behind a corner and waited for the rest of the platoon. When they came around the corner, they saw the dead Elite's body. That was when Li jumped out and shot the first Elite with his shotgun. The Elite cried out in pain and then fell to the ground. The other Elites opened fire on Li. He shot the first one twice in the abdomen, then he smacked the next one with the but of his Shotgun. There was still one more Elite left. Li saw him laugh, and felt a feeling of dread. The Elite pulled out a menacing looking energy sword. Li pulled the trigger on his shotgun, but seeing that it was out of ammo, he pulled out his sniper rifle. The sniper only had 1 shot left so he couldn't miss or else he would be shredded to ribbons. Li waited until the Elite was ready to lunge, then took aim and fired. The bullet ripped through the Elite's skull and he fell backwards off the cliff. Li decided to go and join the battle with John and José.
