Get off our Planet! Pt 1 of 2
I got bored waiting for the next fan fiction update and had already written the second in through the eyes of a grunt and instead of writing the third I decided to write this. Enjoy!
1300 hours
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Currently under covenant siege
On UNSC controlled planet, Earth
"Brown! Get over here now dammit" bellowed Sgt. Johnson. Alpha squad had been stuck on the second floor of a wrecked medical centre for almost three days. The medical centre, which conveniently had been codenamed Alpha base, overlooked the beach of Rio de Janeiro. The local marines had conceived a plan that they believed would work but it had fallen to pieces almost immediately. The covenant cruiser that had landed in Rio had been slightly damaged in the landing and had needed a little extra juice to keep the shields up. So the first thing they had hit was the power generator of Rio. Rio was now stuck without any power and the covenant cruiser's shields were up and running. The marine's plan was to take back that power generator. But the only way to get to the generator was by the beach and the beach was heavily guarded by the covenant. Bravo and Omega were going to attack the generator. Alpha squad was meant to take out the covenant with their sniper rifles. That was where it had all gone wrong. Covenant recon units had spotted alpha squad and ever since then they had been pinned down by wave after wave of the shit. Alpha squad consisted of eleven top-class snipers and the one, the only Sgt. Johnson. Pvt. Andrew Brown felt privileged to have him aboard their squad as he had seen action on Halo and survived. He was the best of the best.
"Brown, we got hunters. Take 'em out" yelled the sergeant. Brown picked up his S9 looked down the scope and steadied his weapon and fired a full round at the pair of hunters. One of the giant blue-beasts fell but his bond-brother kept on coming. He charged his plasma cannon and fired the large green blast.
" Hit the deck!" shouted Sgt. Johnson. The green blast soared over Brown's head and powered it's way through the metal-plated ceiling.
" Fuck " said the private.
" Take him down Brown " said the sarge. Brown got his cool back and re-steadied his S9. He took a little a bit more time than his previous shots but this one was perfect. It burst through the hunter's skull. A satisfying groan came from the Adonis and he flopped to the floor. A loud cheer echoed around alpha base. The sergeant put his hand on the shocked private's shoulder and said :
" Good job Brown".
Bravo and Omega team were in a pretty similar position to Alpha squad. They had lost the covenant though. They were hidden in a local barracks, about a mile off the bay. Sgt. Langer of Omega team had conceived a new plan and was about to contact Sgt. Johnson. He picked up his radio and contacted his fellow sergeant's frequency.
" Langer to Johnson, Langer to Johnson, pick up " he said.
" What's up Langer? " asked Johnson
" We've got a new plan to get to the generator " announced Langer.
" Great. Let's here it. " Johnson exclaimed.
" We've got a single-man AV for every marine in Omega and Bravo. We'll use a quick assault on the beach and head for the generator. All you have to do is cover us " said Langer.
"Sounds good. When will you get here?" questioned Johnson.
" We're heading out now. We'll be there in a few minutes. Langer out " answered Langer.
Sgt. Johnson had readied his troops and placed them in the best sniping positions alpha base could offer. Having done that Johnson picked up one of the S9's himself. He had never really used one before except in the shooting range. He was more used to using the common assault rifle, and it was a bad enough that the UNSC had changed the standard rifle to the new battle rifle. Still, this sniper rifle felt quite good. Johnson felt like he was in control of the whole bay. He could shoot any of the covenant he could see. He felt almost like God. The sergeant saw a gold-armored elite and was very tempted blast him to hell. But then he remembered it was meant to be a surprise attack. That gold elite would be the first to go when bravo and omega arrived.
The twenty-four AV's sped towards the bay meeting little covenant resistance. They came up upon the road leading out to the bay.
" Alright people, lets kick some covenant booty " Langer said over his radio. The AV's increased their speed and raced down the blood-covered street. They emerged onto the hot sandy bay of Rio and met the covenant resistance. The aliens reacted quite quickly to two-dozen small jeeps blasting out onto the beach. Plasma scorched the side of Langer's AV. Suddenly a gold-armored elite with a plasma sword jumped onto the bonnet of the AV. He was about to cut off Langer's head when a sniper shot rocketed through the elite's neck. If you listened carefully you would have been able to hear a distant 'woohoo' from sgt. Johnson. The AV's raced across the bay crushing every covenant they saw. Elites, Grunts, Jackals, Hunters and Brutes fell as the combined effort of the AV's and the snipers wiped the covenant off the beach.
" Objective One accomplished. Moving onto primary objective" Langar said to Johnson over the radio.
" God speed Sergeant " said Johnson.
To be continued.....................
The next one might not come for a while as I'm spending most of my time writing the Through the eyes of a grunt series. Peace out!
