JerichoII October 25 2541
(PFC Jason Juliet Company Front Gate)
Jason stopped mid sentence to try and make out what that noise was. Just then he heard some marines from behind him yell, "Incoming Banshees! Take cover!" and shortly after that there was a loud explosion in which the bodies of marines were thrown out of the trench.
Jason turned to the Corporal and yelled, "Do you have any jack hammers?!" The Corporal just sat there pale faced for a few seconds and waited for it all to sink in. Before he could say a word, they saw a red ball fly towards the banshee and hit it smack in the nose. Jason and the corporal turned to see who had fired the rocket to see the wounded Hooper holding a Jack Hammer saying, "I'm still in the fight" and after that went into shock. Singh stopped firing the laag to look at Hooper's body.
"We need to get him out of here!" he yelled in his Indian accent.
"Alright look, ill lay down some covering fire for you guys to get back to the fox hole! From there you turn around and give me covering fire!" Yelled Jason.
"Alright sounds good" the corporal replied. Jason then picked up the radio and contacted Rose and Wolf.
"Alright, Rose we have wounded men here there coming to you so lay down some covering fire!" Jason barked into the radio.
Rose the replied, "Roger that just say when." Jason then turned to the Corporal and the other men and told them the plan. Singh and Hooper made it back to the fox hole un harmed. Jason then thought that maybe the Corporal and him could do the same, but he thought to early. Jason and the corporal were half way across when he heard a scream from next to him.
(Cruiser Jado, Field Commander Avu, Command deck)
Field commander Avu watched as the battle for Alpha base raged on the holographic projector. The commander was getting worried; the humans were putting a lot more resistance then thought, and already the Covenant casualties were higher then the humans. Just then the high prophet Sris walked onto the command deck. "So commander tell me how the attack is going." The prophet said in his mystical voice.
"Your exlency, I don't think that this is a battle we can win." Replied Avu.
The prophet then replied, "We will see about that commander"
(Sgt. Eversmit Delta Company 3rd Regimen Front Gate)
Eversmit ejected the used clip from his MA5B, and watched as a rocket hit the banshee and it was engulfed in a flaming ball of fire. He then turned to Roy and said, "Is it just me or does it look like the covenant are getting desperate?" because for the past half and hour it seemed like the covenant were sending everything they had into the field to die.
"Nahh I don't think so." Replied Roy as he emptied his entire clip into the chest of a gold armoured elite. "There just being there predictable self's." He said again as he slammed in a fresh clip. Eversmit sat for a minute to absorb what Roy had just said, but was interrupted by Cole, his new radioman. "Sir, message from base, they want to know what the situation down here is." Eversmit then looked around him and could see bodies of marines littering the floor, he saw two marines who jumped out their fox hole to save the life of another marine who lay in front of the hole, one of them was shot but the other made it back.
"Tell the Captain we need a pelican or hogs or something to get the wounded out of here we just have to many!" replied Eversmit, he then watched as Cole repeated what he had just said into the radio.
Cole then turned back to Eversmit and said, "They said there sending in one drop ship but it wont stay on the ground so we need to get the wounded ready now!"
"Roger, return to your post" Replied Eversmit. Eversmit then turned to Kate, his second in command and said, "Spread the word to gather you wounded drop ships are inbound" Kate then nodded and turned to kill of a few more grunts before leaving to do what Eversmit had just told her.
(Sgt. Lancer Front Gate 6th Wart Hog Regiment)
Lancer turned to his driver and told him to get him a better angel. Once the hog had moved to the left a bit Lancer finally killed of the group of Elites and Jackels that had taken cover behind a over turned hog. Lancer though he heard something behind him and turned to see that a group of spec ops grunts had manadged to get past him and the other gunners. Before Lancer could fire one of the grunts carched its Fuel rod gun. Lancer said one quick prayer before turning to his driver and telling him to get out of the Hog.
