Master Chief ducked and a charged plasma bolt pelted the wall behind him causing bits of cement to fall to the floor. "You two all right over there?" Master Chief yelled to the two privates across the room from him. Both privates gave him thumbs up. The Master Chief and the two marines, Hermy and Jameson, were under heavy fire from the other side of the room by three elites, six jackals, and eight grunts. The human group had been running through the facility for thirty minutes now looking for the navigational and history data rooms. The Master Chief wasn't having any trouble, but the two marines both had minor plasma burns on their biceps. "Cover for me!" yelled Master Chief. Hermy took out his captured needler and fired the remaining projectiles toward the Covenant. At the same time Jameson threw two plasma grenades and shot the last charged plasma bolt from his plasma pistol. The needler projectiles tore two grunts in half and the plasma grenades blew four jackals into their own shields. The Master Chief took this valuable time to whip out his M90 Shotgun and ran up to the next line of cover. Meanwhile plasma shots were being fired at the two marines. Cautiously and slowly, the Master Chief peeked his head around the cargo boxes to see two Elites firing their plasma rifles at the marines. Master Chief jumped out from the cover and shot two 8 gauge magnum rounds into one elite and vaulted back to his cover. He could hear the yelling of one elite he just shot and it sounded like he was dying, then Master Chief primed a grenade and threw it over his shoulder. Master Chief heard the explosion and then the other Elite's remains were seen soaring in the air over Master Chief. Quickly with no time to lose Master Chief slung his shotgun and pulled out his MA5B assault rifle, peering around the corner again the Chief saw the third Elite and the Chief fired sustained bursts of 7.62mm armor piercing rounds into the veteran Elite. The Elite's shields were depleted by the time the Elite found out were the shots were coming from. The Master Chief slung his assault rifle and whipped out his sidearm and fired one 12.7mm semi-armor-piercing, high explosive round into the Elite's head. Part of the Elite's head fell to the floor with the rest of the Elite's body. "Move up!" He yelled to the two marines. The remaining grunts and jackals started retreating slowly. Master Chief wasn't about to let them get away. He spotted and three-barreled machine gun turret on a clearing in the middle of the room. The Spartan sprinted as fast as his genetically enhanced legs could go to the turret. Once behind the gun he gripped the grips and a target reticule came up on his HUD and he put the reticule on the remaining Covenant and poured so many bullets into the survivors that when he was finished all that was left was a few bits of body pieces here and there and a lot of blue and greenish blood. While he was firing Hermy and Jameson stood behind Master Chief to protect his back. When the Chief was finished Hermy shouted, "Whew that was pretty gruesome Chief! But they damn well deserved it though!" "Let's keep moving, we can't let the Covenant find any remaining data on our navigational or history data." said Master Chief. The trio went out the exit where the Covenant were originally guarding. When they got to the hallway it was littered with marine and Covenant bodies. Jameson tripped over a dead grunt and said, "Man these little critters are everywhere!" "Only 206 meters to go," Master Chief said. "By the way Chief," said Hermy, "How did you end up at Outpost Bravo? Nothing out here, that I'm aware of, is that important that would involve you. Could you possibly tell me why you have business out here? No offense or anything." "Sorry private that's classified," replied Master Chief. "Classified, smashified," said Hermy. "We're family here dude, (Chief glanced back at him quickly) Chief, sir, I don't want to be annoying or anything I just wanted to know why you are out here, Chief." "Well Mr. Hermy I guess I could tell you a few things, since we're 'family'. The two privates didn't know what was in store for them.
