Operation Payback Part 1
Location: Earth
Continent: United States
Stationed at : Forward Command Post Sigma
Status: Under attack
Battle Zone: Hot
"Return fire damn it!" barked Corporal Wes Adams. His team had been involved in at least 5 firefights since 6:00 a.m. Adams had command of Omega squadron and wasn't going to get off work until he snapped his troops back into reality. Adams had just graduated from the UNSC Naval Academy stationed on REACH II just a year ago, but was transferred to the front line for planetary defense. "Sergeant McNeil, get Baskowitz and Ramirez to cover our back. I'm going to send in a recon probe to check the area.
Omega team was pinned down at this point. A squad of 4 Elites pinned them down in their position, which was an abandoned building. "McNeil, get me a fortification on that forward wall." ordered Adams. "Yes sir!" said McNeil. With that said, McNeil grabbed some nearby empty crates and barricaded the northern entrance to the building. "Ok team, hold this perimeter until I can clear the very front of the building. Fire in the whole!" said Adams. After saying that, Adams tossed two frag grenades outside and took out 2 Elites. Purple blood was split on the walls. The remaining two Elites bellowed out their war cry of "wort wort wort!" "Omega team, stay here, I'm going to go check and figure out where the other two Elites are." said Adams. "Understood sir!" the ODSTs said in unison.
Adams peaked his head throughout a small opening in the wall, looking both ways. The area seemed clear, but Elites weren't known for giving up in the middle of a fight. "Stay here, I'm going to go outside and see exactly where they went." said Adams. The ODSTs acknowledged him by both nodding. Adams crept out quietly and slowly, taking caution. He noticed a slight motion. An energy sword glimmered and appeared. Adams withdrew his SMG's and fired.
The Elite appeared stunned, but then charged forward with his sword. The Elite slashed Adams' armor, but no minor injury yet. The sword took a slit of Adams' uniform. "You're going to pay for that!" barked Adams. Adams fired again with his SMG's aiming directly at the Elite's chest. The Elite charged again, but Adams jumped to the side in time for the attack. With it's back turned, Adams meleed the Elite in the back and it was knocked out. As a finishing blow, Adams stuck the SMG's to the Elite's back and pulled the trigger. Purple blood was spilt on the floor.
"One down, one to go" said Adams. Right after those words, the other Elite jumped from atop the building and fired with its dual plasma rifles. Adams took a direct hit in the chest. He was stunned for a moment, but then he leapt to the side to get out of the way. "AAAH! Baskowitz get out here!" barked Adams. He had a minor burn on his chest and needed medical attention. "I'm almost there sir. Hold on!" said Baskowitz. Baskowitz got out his battle rifle, laid down suppression fire to the Elite, grabbed the Corporal with one of his arms, while still firing. "Hold on sir, I'm going to take this Elite out. "remarked Baskowitz. Fear ran down his spine, like the water of a waterfall. He knew the chances of surviving against a battle-hungry Elite were low, but he was going to fight on. No matter what the cost.
"Hurry up private! I'm dying over here!" complained Adams. "One second sir." said Baskowitz. Baskowitz planted two C-12 explosive charges on the left and right wall of the alleyway where he and Adams were pinned down. He set them on proximity mode so the Elite would get a surprise. " I have an idea" said Baskowitz. " Let's hear it private and hurry up!" said Adams. With that, Baskowitz ripped off his helmet, and yelled at the top of his lungs "Hey you stupid Covenant Elite! You are a loser! I bet it sucks to get your butt spanked by an inferior race doesn't it?" said Baskowitz. After that remark, a loud "WORT WORT WORT!" was heard from down the alleyway. It was the remaining Elite, charging full force at the two ODSTs location. "Showtime" said Baskowitz. Baskowitz got out his remote timer detonator and it reported to him how far the target was. 400 feet. 300 feet. 200 feet. 100 feet. 50 feet. As the numbers grew shorter, Baskowitz's heart raced. "Here we go!" said Baskowitz. With that instant, Baskowitz grabbed Adams and flew themselves about four feet from the crates of the C-12. He hit the detonator and the explosives went off. The Elite went flying in the air, approximately 50 feet. It fell down, twitched for a second, then purple blood oozed out from it's mouth.
"You son of a bitch! If you ever try anything like that again, I will have you kicked out of the UNSC and sent home!" said Adams. "Hey at least I got the job done." remarked Baskowitz. After they were done talking, Baskowitz holstered his weapon, then picked up the Corporal and headed back to the fallback point. "Get me a med pack this instant !" ordered Baskowitz. "Heads up Basko" said McNeil. McNeil tossed him a med pack to patch up the Corporal. "Sir this may sting a little." said Baskowitz. Baskowitz injected the Corporal with biofoam to sustain the injury he took while fighting the first Elite. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Said Corporal Adams. "Sir, please be quiet! We don't want to alert all the Covenant patrols over here". said Baskowitz. "McNeil, hold your hand over him to keep him quiet, but don't suffocate him." said Baskowitz. "Understood." acknowledged McNeil.
After patching up Adams, Omega team made their way down the empty streets of Chicago. The Covenant hit this area hard, sending a rough battalion of 1000 Elites. This wasn't going to be easy. Baskowitz was a rookie who enlisted in the UNSC after the Covenant glassed his home planet Oprimis VII. He had his thirst for battle ever since he watched his home be destroyed from one of the few escape pods that survived. "Sir, I got an incoming transmission from Highcom" reported Larry Baskowitz. "Patch it in marine." barked Adams.
"Come in Corporal Adams. This is Admiral Whitcomb. Be advised large presence of Covenant artillery is detected within your sector. I'd advise you to fall back to the rendezvous point, but we need to secure a forward command post in Chicago. It's your choice Corporal". said Admiral Whitcomb. "What the hell? Fall back! Fall back! Don't let them break through!" The com snapped off. Silence and a slight drench of fear ran down Adams' neck.
"Damn it." cursed Adams. He couldn't believe that Covenant had taken the field command center the UNSC had established only a day ago. It was located 5 miles north of where Omega team was investigating. "Well team, we have to fall back and rescue them. We have to hold off this mission to find the supplies that ONI dropped off from the Hive base in Australia five days ago." sad Adams.
To be continued!
