(I'm not too good with Elite names, so sorry for that!)
Nayomi stood in the cold, white snow. It seemed to calm her for some odd reason. She looked proudly down at her gold armor she had just received. She was well on her way to becoming a Special Op, and hoped the Covenant would not discover her secret.
They did not allow women to fight with them. They said it was for protection, but the real reason was that they thought women were just a nuisance and would get in the way. But they were wrong. Nayomi was better than most of the Elites. She was smaller in size, but that gave her an advantage:speed.
Nayomi was assembled in a line, with some Covenant from many squads. Two banshees lay motionless behind her, one from which she had come in. She had received a call that many flood were well on the way, and they had built up a small army to fight the flood. There were Phantoms, Jackals, Grunts, Elites, and Shades to help. Plus, there were Hunters on their way, and that would be more than enough to defeat this enemy.
Nayomi had stalked up on supplies before coming, and had chosen a plasma sword as her weapon today. But, just in case she, brought an extra plasma sword, and a plasma rifle if things got hectic. The soft blue glow of the plasma sword made a dim light in the white snow, and she shifted a bit. A wisp of wind caught Nayomi, but it didn't bother her. She was used to the cold.
A gurgle broke the silence; the flood were here. The Covenant lines had broken out into fire immediately, a few being taken out by a rocket launcher. If someone didn't do something fast, that rocket would do too much damage, and the Covenant wouldn't stand a chance. Nayomi ran up to the front, barely dodging another incoming rocket, and slashed the flood combat form who was causing such an annoyance. But more had already started a brutal onslaught. There were too many! The Phantom operators had finally processed what was going on and sent a deadly blast to a group of flood. Nayomi slashed at every flood combat form that came at her, trying to block all of the vines. A group of flood jumped on her, and started whipping her, draining her shields horribly. Elites and Grunts around her were being taken out all around her. She could hear the scream of a Grunt as it's weak armor was pierced with a shotgun bullet. Nayomi tried to struggle free, but the flood were too strong. She slashed at the nearest flood banishing it, then the next, until all of them were gone. The flood had already taken out one of the Phantoms, and were concentrating most of there fire on the next. Nayomi deactivated her plasma sword, and equipped her plasma rifle. First she chucked a plasma grenade behind them, so as not to damage the Phantom any more. Before she could start firing she was slammed into the snow again. She looked up to see a mutated Elite standing over her, its shotgun aimed straight at her chest. It happened so fast; shotgun bullets were being fired into her at such a close range, that she could hardly move. Her shield was drained completely. The Flood combat form would finish her off soon. She tired to get up, but couldn't. It was the perfect chance! It was reloading. It leveled the shotgun back to her. She had to survive. Pulling back her strength, she smacked the stupid thing off of her. Her shield recharged slowly back to full, and she sent plasma into the Flood that had pinned her, and was careful not to make it over-heat. The form that had infected it was disintegrated by the raging plasma, and the nuisance didn't get up. More were coming, still. Nayomi chucked a grenade left, and continued fighting the other Flood without looking to see if the grenade had been successful. She continued raging plasma on the Flood, taking only a few out, but they got up again feeling no pain. Human and Covenant blasts were downing her shield by the second, and there were only a few more Elites and Jackals. Nayomi hadn't even noticed that the Hunters had been to help, but they were dead now. They may have killed a group of Flood, but there were still more on the way. She heard an Elite yell as it died, and fired it's last few shots, piercing the snow. She peered over to the Banshees, still in good shape. She had to try to get over there. It was here only hope of survival. She switched back to her plasma sword, and fought her way through the swarm of Flood. Bullets drained her shield ever so often as she struggled through them. She finally reached a Banshee, her shield have drained, climbed inside, and took off immediately. The Banshee had already been damaged a little a bit. She unleashed a deadly barrage of plasma on the Flood below, and a fuel rod blast every once in a while. They just kept coming! The last Elite on the ground died, and Nayomi was the only one left. She turned back to fly down, but a rocket was racing towards her. She jumped out without thinking.....
