(Sgt. Eversmit Delta Company 3rd regiment)
"Fisher! Enemy drop ships inbound raise the alarm" Eversmit yelled to fisher his radioman.
"Come in base do you read me this is Delta 3 repeat this is Delta 3 enemy drop ships inbound I repeat enemy drop ships inbound." Fisher said into the radio panic stricken.
"Roger Delta 3 I need you to calm down and repeat your self"
" MADEY MADEY ENEMY DROP SHIPS INBOUND!!!!!!!!"
"Roger Delta raising alarms you have permission to engage the enemy on sight repeat you have permission to engage the enemy on sight."
"Alright you heard the man lock'n load fire on sight!" Eversmit replied. All the men of the 3rd regiment sat in wait watching over their mounds at the trees where the drop ships touched down. Then without warning two wraiths came through the clearing with their energy weapons charging. "Holy shit" Eversmit said to himself.
"Sir do we fire?" one of the rocket jockeys asked.
"You know the orders, fire on sight!" and just that moment one of the wraiths fired its energy ball. Eversmit thought it had sighted their position and they were all dead, but instead the energy ball soared over them and hit one of the base walls. "Fire at will!" Then a volley of rockets soared over the marine's heads and nailed the first wraith and engulfed it in a fireball. The second Wraith began to retreat but before it could get to far a second volley of rockets hit it in the rear, and there was an eruption of cheers from the marines. But before Eversmit could even lift his head to see what had happened Jones his m-60 gunner was riddled by plasma in the back.
(Alpha Base Capt. Walker Central Command post)
"Alright we have wraiths advancing on Delta Company's position and we've already lost half the first wall. Send in Juliet Company to assist Delta and then I want Sgt. Lancer and his wart hogs on station!" Barked Walker to his men in the command post.
(Hanger B Sgt. Lancer 6th Regiment Commander)
(Over loudspeaker) All rocket teams F-R report to forward fences. Company Juliet report to Delta Companies Position. Sgt. Lancer and his wart hog division report to front gate double time."
Sgt. Lancer already knew he and his company were being moved out so before the announcement even got out he hand his company assemble. After listening to the announcement Lancer sat in the driver seat of his wart hog pale faced. He looked up at his men and said. "Alright you heard the man lets move out!"
(Sgt. Eversmit Delta Company 3rd Regiment 1st in command.)
As soon as the wraiths had been destroyed elites and jackals came pouring out of the trees shooting at anything that moved. "Lets go somebody get Jones out of here hes dead lets go and reload that m-60 Johnson lets go!" Eversmit yelled as he ejected a used clip from his MA5B and slammed in a fresh one. Two Jackals just popped over the edge of the trees but were soon cut down by the mass of tracer bullets flying towards the trees. "Sir Juliet Company is coming to help us out over here their bringing fresh supplies with them." Fisher bellowed.
A few men further from Eversmit Cooper was hammering at anything that moved with his shot gun. "McKnight I need a new clip im out!" he yelled. McKnight passed Cooper a clip and as soon as Cooper slammed it in plasma fire caught the back of McKnight's hand.
"Ahhhh holly shit! It burns Ahh get it off!!"
"Roy! Roy! Get a medic for McKnight he looks pretty bad" said Cooper. Roy ran over to McKnight's twitching body and pulled out his med kit. Roy had just gotten done patching up his hand when he heard a rumble and turned to see a division of wart hogs heading his way.
"About time they showed up." He said under his breath. "Oie Cooper tell Wolf to raise Cooper and the Sarge bout the hogs there here man." Said Roy
"Gotcha! Oie Fox tell the Sarge the Hogs are here!"
"Sir were getting a message from fox he saying the Hogs are here!" Yelled fisher over the noise of gunfire to Eversmit who had just finished killing of a group of panicking grunts.
"Roger that tell Lancer to come west of out position so the hogs aren't venerable to enemy fire and tell all commanders to gather there wounded!"
"Yes Sir" Evermit returned to kill of the group of elites that had massed during his short break. While Eversmit wasn't looking a jackal over charged his pistol and fired at Eversmit. The overcharge round caught Eversmit in the chest, his armour took most of the blow but he was still knocked to the floor. For a few seconds Eversmit didn't remember where he was but then it came back he was in middle of a battle. Everything was going in slow motion he could here the small put of laag guns and the cries of wounded men. He turned around to see the convoy of Hogs coming over the hill guns blazing. He could here the screams of men getting hit and he could see bodies lying everywhere. He got up just in time for a plasma bolt fly past his head. He quckly grabbed his assult riffle and jammed in a fresh clip to fire at a golden armoured elite. He grabbed for another clip but couldn't make it the last elite was already there but to the elites surprise he ran right into the electric fence. Eversmit got up only to find fishers body lying next to his feet. Eversmit ran to the wart hogs to talk to Lancer.
"Alright Sarge get your men wounded, dead, and alive into that truck." He pointed at a green truck where already men from his company where massed around and hopping onboard. And there was already blood dripping from the deck.
"Roger that. Hey Lancer if your taking up out post then I suggest you watch out for that part of the fence its down."
"Ill do just that." Replied lancer. Eversmit was the last to get on the tuck he wanted to make sure all his men got on board. All the way back to base Eversmit sat in quite by him sled.
(Covenant cruiser Jado)
" So how did the attack go" asked the prophet Sris to field commander Avu.
"Well the humans put up much resistance and we were forced to withdraw." Replied Avu
"I can understand this but the council will not." replied prophet Sris
