Thousands of seraph fighters poured out of the Covenant cruisers and destroyers. "Oh shoot!" I yelled as they blocked out the sun. I saw a siren button and without thinking I smashed the glass and hit the button. The mechanical shrillness of the siren blared across the base. 500mm auto cannons blasted the fighters and banshees. Soon drop ships started coming down. "Murphy, Cartier, Hattrup, Ramicone, Simpson! Form and arm yourselves! We have contact and they won't stop!" I yelled as my squad poured out of the barracks. They were alarmed with grenade belts, BR-55s, M90s, and S2 AM's. We all climbed out of the base and took out the M90s and charged. If you thought Iowa Jima was bad then you should have seen this. It was bloody and savage shells flying every where, Elites screaming before death. All of a sudden I ran out of ammo. "Crap!" I ran out of ammo pulled out a com bat knife and started all over again. Slashing and hacking I took out numerous Covie with knife. Soon reinforcements came and we all pushed the Covie back.
"All pilots to the hangars repeat, all pilots to the hangars." Yelled the intercom. As Russel suited up he picked up his helmet and ran to the hangar. He climbed into his longsword fighter. As his gunner climbed in Russ primed his fighter. "You ready Ben?" asked Russ. "Yup!" replied Ben.
"Good cause-"
"This Sergeant Cartier, we require assistance. Any would be helpful!"
"Chanel this Russ there is a squad en route your position. Hold on!"
"Thanks Russ much obliged!" As the long sword exited the hangar he checked the radar.
"Oh CRAP! WE GOT COMPANY BEN! BLAST THEM!" yelled Russ as twenty seraph fighters swarmed his fighter. "YESSIR!" yelled Ben over the pound of the 120mm auto cannon. The seraphs fell out of the sky as 20 pelicans and 19 longswords came out of hangar. The pelicans were transporting Worthogs, Scorpion MBTs, and helljumpers. Five had Scorpions, five had worthogs, and the rest had the HEV pods soon the HEV pods dropped with swooshes. "Commander, how are you going to get to the Ground?" asked Pilot Henderson "Feet First!" yelled Commander Howard. The HEV pods all hit the ground with bone crushing force. But the ODST's were used to that.
All of a sudden 20 marines and three hogs burst into Covie ranks turning all who couldn't move into pancakes. "Hey Joe looks like your girlfriends call was answered!" yelled Corporal S. Simpson " Sam SHUT UP!" I yelled.
"Sure Cap!" replied Sam who just blew an Elites brains out. "That was a nice shot huh Joe?" gloated Sam.
"Sam, stop it you are making us look bad." as I cut up an elites calf and stabbed him in the back. Soon the entire Covenant in that area was wiped out my squad and I signaled a pelican down luckily it was a one with a tank. As the pelican dropped the scorpion I climbed in and the rest of my squad climbed on the treads. They all had scrounged up rocket launchers and we were all ready to roll.
"Joe this is Russ we have a pelican on the way to pick you and your squad up. It's going to drop you right by the cruisers grav lift."
"We copy Russ by grav lift." I replied. Soon Bravo 4530 or "Shadow fox" touched down. We climbed in and the tank was attached under the tail. We had 11 miles till the grav lift. We all took out our mess tins and started to snack, but the peace was short lived because shade turrets started shooting at us. The turrets and the Covies on the ground were ripped to shreds from Shadow fox's 70mm chain gun. Luckily Russ and four other fighters came because a welcome committee of seraph fighters greeted us. The pelican soon set us down along with the tank. Zack hopped in the tank and said "Hey Joseph, looks like we have a date with the Covenant, huh?"
"Zack", replied Justin, "you my friend have never been s right in your life!"
"How did you know Justin?" questioned Zack.
"Lucky guess I guess."
"Well no more lucky guesses or I'm gonna shove your M90 up-"
"Zack language," I told him.
"Yeah Zack," Said Sam.
"SAM," I yelled. With that we all stepped into the grav lift. It was quite remarkable, being transported into a Covenant capital ship with a M90 and your best friends. As we entered the ship a raiding party of jackals, elites and grunts were quite surprised at our little surprise. We let every thing we had go right then the party was decimated and we threw grenades everywhere. All of a sudden a metal slug punched straight threw the ship. A pelican appeared then and the pilot asked if we needed a lift and with out question we all jumped on board just as the ship was blowing up.
