Get me the files for numbers 14 through 27, said General Poles.
After receiving the papers he glanced through each soldiers biography.
"Hey Jim look at this ones bio." said Poles
As Jim looked at the file his eyes widened.
"This one makes it in!" he replied
The General busy with his duties continued through the rest of the files sorting them in stacks of who would make it and who wouldn't.
"Jim! Get in here!" he shouted
"What is it sir?" said Jim
"Gather these marines and load them up in the T hogs." he replied
"Yes, sir!" he shouted running out of the room
They were recruiting the best marines they could findfor an attack for a rebel base located on the other side of the planet, there were reports that they had covenant soldiers within their base but no photographs reveiled this but they would find out soon enough.
"Sir I have gather numbers 14 through 27 as requested and they are waiting in the hogs." Jim said as he came in breathing deeply
"Thank you private now please gather 28 through 45 and load them up to." he answered
"You got it sir." he said over his shoulder jogging out of the room
The marines sat in the hogs none saying a word until one asked "So...you guys know what this is about?" one of the other marines replied "Leaving the base isn't that obvious?" the other marines laughed lightly. Jim came down the ramp to the empty T hogs and told them to get in and walked back up the ramp to General Poles office.
"Sir no more hogs left for transportation." he said clamly
""Thank you private arrange for escorts for our departure."he said not looking up from his computer screen
Jim walked out the towards the base commanders office. Jim stroled into the office and saluted as usual.
"Requesting air and or ground escorts to Zulu base." asked
"You got both ground and air support for your ride." the commander replied
Jim saluted again and left the office and went back to Generals Poles office.
"Sir you ready to go we have ground and air escorts." he said at the doorway
"Good job private lets go." Poles answered
General Poles transferred the data from his computer onto a disk erased all traces of the data then opened his desk drawer and pulled out a pistol and put it in his holster and walked out of the office. The T hogs were joined by six chain gun warthogs two pelicans and two longswords for the forty mile trip.
"Take a right after this hill." shouted General Poles at his driver
The wathogs were about half way to Zulu base when they were attacked by the rebels some were armed with covenant weapons mainly the fuel rod gun. The rebels had snipers and warthogs hidden in the brush fuel rod shot erupted from nowhere impacting on one of their escorting warthogs throwing metal and smoldering flesh everywhere the marines pulled out the MA5B's from under their seats and jumped from the moving warthogs but General Poles and his two bodyguards remained in their hog armed with a chaingun were Jim was at the gunners spot fring madly while his driver kept his cool dodging the missles and fuel rod explosions.
"Move to the brush!" shouted General Poles
The marines ran into the brush firing all the way three of the marines lay on the ground wounded except for the marines only five of them were left and the longswords were taking out the rebels warthogs with three of their warthogs left the rebels fledand the marines came out of the brush and took a headcount six marines had died and four wounded three of them the marines from their group the rebels had an estimated twenty eight casualties but they couldn't be exact.
"Load 'em up and lets get moving!" shouted General Poles
While he waited for the marines to board a sniper round went through his drivers head and into his left thigh another went through Jim's chest sending him to the ground when a frag went of from were the shots came from and a marine came out from the brush and moved Poles drivers' limp body out of the way and hopped in while maedics attended to General Poles and Jim.
"Sir it looks pretty bad but he''l survive." said one of the madics
"Put him in the back of one of those hogs and get on of them to get over here and get on the gun." said Poles
The maedic put jim in the back and one of the marines jogged to the gunners spot and said" Ey essa hows it goin'" with a mexican accent.
General Poles paid no attension to him and they were off to Zulu base on less than an hour they arrived at Zulu base where marines were on patrol around the base, standing at the gate, and on the roof. The warthogs pulled up to the base gate where General Poles said something to one of the guards and they opened the gate.
"Everyone out!" shouted Poles as he got out of his warthog
The marines got out and lined up single file along the fence as Poles walked in front of them examing each one. Then he issued the order for them to move inside and go down two the third basement. The marines hustled inside and down the lift while Poles stood outside by Jim.
"Will he be ok?" asked Poles
"I dunno sir I gave him some biofoam and morphene but he's not lookin' to good I;m gonna take him to the medical staion." was the reply
General Poles went down to where the marines were waiting. He walked in the room and the marines saluted and dropped the salute as Poles returned it.
"I bet you want to know why your here right? Well it's simple your the best of the best and I'm going to make you into the best you'll ever be while your here you will be an assault team for putting down rebels and small covenant base camps for now... later you might be needed for other things but as for now your training. I will assign you to a squad with two instructors meaning... well I'll put this simple This ain't gonna be no walk in the park! I've put the rostors up on the wall over there go look at them right now and get with your squad." said General Poles
The marines moved to look at the rostor and Poles just stood there watching them the saying"Don't forget to introduce your self to your new squadmates." three minutes later seven marines walked up to him and one of them said "I'd like to introduce..ourselves this is Travis Newland Demolitions, Michael Martin Heavy weapons, Matt Moore Rifleman, Austin Oren Sniper, Thomas Hunter Assasin and Rifleman, Tyler Stillabower Medic/driver, and me Charles White and I'm also a Sniper." General Poles stared at them men in his squad and motoned over two instructors.
"Nice to meet you now move to the armory Oren and White get a Sniper rifle, pistol, and two frags, Newland get a Shotgun, a SMG, four frags, and one sathel charge, Martin get a Shotgun, rocket launcher, and four frags, Moore and Hunter get a MA5b, a pistol HUnter you get a silencer, and two frags, Stillabower get a pistol and medkit." said Poles
After he sent his marines to the armory the other squad leaders did so also. The marines were lined through the halls few talked. General Poles stood waiting for his squad he waited a few minutes and they all came together strapping on their gear and loading their weapons with the paintballs they were given.
"Follow me marines." said General Poles walking away
The marines followed him to a briefing room. He stood at the door untill they were all inside.
"Ok this is whats going to happen your going to enter a building with personel of this base inside your job is to eliminate them... they will be armed with only MA5B's but there will be more of them that you if you are hit once you are wounded if you are hit twice your dead I want no one to get hit at all... this is only a practice just to see how you guys operate now you can plan heres a map." said Poles
He left the room and went to talk to the instructors who would be in the buildings. The instructors were busy putting the masks on and loading their weapons and didn't notcie him come in until he slammed the door.
"I trust you all won't make this easy." said Poles
"Easy? Ha, I don't think so!" said one of the instructors
He left the room and went back to where the squad was waiting. He walked in to see them sitting calmly waiting for him to return.
"Done already?" said Poles
"You bet sir!" said Private Newland
"Good...get aboard pelican Blackhawk341 it will take you where your going." said Poles
The marines left the room moving to their pelican while General Poles went to one of the many control rooms. He walked in and sat down at one of the screens which diplayed the building his squad would be assaulting.
"Hey sir is this part of your new platoon?"said one of the techies
The General didn't answer he continued to watch the screen.
"Eta in 30 secs sir." said another techie
The pelican dropped and the marines ran into the trees. Three minutes passed and nothing happened then they slowly came out except for Oren and White. The others moved close to the building when Newland picked up a few rocks and through them at the upper story windows breaking them out.
"Brilliant." Poles said to himself
The marines opened the door and slowly entered once they were all inside the general heard several shots go off. Three rounds came through the trees hitting two instructors standing at the broken windows, they were sniping out th enemy. The team had their headsets with them so they could speak like they would in regular combat.
"Oren, White move in but stay behind us." said Moore
Oren and White climbed from their trees and ran for the door. The instructors moved to the windows and fried at them but none of the rounds hit. Poles could see them raise the Sniper rifles and fire into the windows three more instructors went down. Of the 23 instructors who started 14 remained after ten minutes of fighting.
"Newland frag to the corridor to your left!" shouted Hunter
Newland primed a frag a tossed it into the cooridor the explosion took out three more of the instructors. They kept moving to the end of the hall where the reamining instructors waited to ambush them. When the marines were close enough all the instructors jumped up and fired the marines crouched and dodged the rounds and fired back then took cover. The marines each grabbed a grenade and tossed them leaving three instructors. The marines charged them and ran them down not shooting a bullet at them just pinning them down until the instructors shouted they surrindered. The marines tied their hands with nearby ropes and moved to the pelican for ecstraction.
Back at base the General let them have a few days to rest while he changed the rostors for who would make it into the platoon as of date. Out of the marines four did not make it in and were let go back to their previous assignment at other bases. Later the next day the General gave a speach of what lay ahead.
"You all have made it to stage 2 I won't tell you how many stages there are but I know you will make it, next week you will go on your first mission so don't screw up this ones for real now move out!" said Poles
The marines left the room and back to their barracks waiting for the next stage unaware of what was next.
To Be Continued...!
