Chapter 8
Halo 4, West Mountain Valley
7:02 A.M.
"Youl I got something on radar," Erik said.
"What is it?" Youl asked.
"It looks to me like there are at least ten of these guys on my screen," Erik said. Erik ran over to Alex and woke her up.
"What is it?" Alex asked.
"I have some guys on radar, I want you to check out what they are," Erik said. Alex picked up her sniper rifle and headed over to where Youl was. She looked into her scope and there she saw four Grunts, five Jackals carrying energy shields, and a Hunter. The Jackals were up in the front and the Grunts were taking the sides and back, the Hunter on the other hand was just walking with them.
"There are four Grunts, five Jackals, and a Hunter
"It must be a scouting party," Youl said. "I don't think we'll be able to take them in the condition we're in right now."
"I'll take Alex with me," Erik said. "She'll snipe them."
"No too risky," Youl said.
Erik replied in an annoyed tone, "But they'll find us."
"Not unless we move now," Youl said. "Wake everybody up, we're going now." Erik rushed over to get everybody up.
"What is it?" Damen asked.
"Covenant, four Jackals, five Grunts, and a Hunter, we need to ditch the cave," replied Erik.
"Ok then I'll grab my stuff," Damen said. He grabbed his equipment and got up.
"I'll go make sure everybody's ready, go by Youl," Erik said. Damen walked over by Youl while Erik made sure Chris, Rob, and Ran had all their gear on and were ready to move out.
"Ok everyone we're going to go move to higher ground, let's get a move on," Youl commanded. Everyone followed behind him, in order from front to back. Erik, Chris, Damen, Rob, Ran, and Alex. Alex looked into her scope again.
"Oh shit, the Jackal spotted us," Alex said to the others through her COM channel. The Jackal notified the other and they started a long run up the mountains. Two of the Jackals remained waiting for Ghosts to me transported to their position.
"They're sending in reinforcements," Ran said. He could translate Covenant language to some extent.
"We need to keep going, everybody double time come on!" Youl yelled. Everybody ran behind him while the Covenant forces were getting closer to their position.
"They got their Ghosts," Alex told the others as they ran up the mountain. The Ghosts zoomed up the mountain and pass the other Covenant. The two remaining Jackals were on them.
"Let's go!" Youl yelled. The Ghosts fired upon them and one of them hit Youl in the stomach. He fell to the ground, his shield was all the way down and his armor took the hit.
"Leave me," Youl told them. "Get out of here." Damen picked Youl up.
"We aren't leaving you here to die," Damen said. Everybody kept on running, but the Covenant on foot were getting closer and the Ghosts were barraging them with their plasma weapons.
"I see a cave up ahead," Damen said. "Everybody move get in that cave," he yelled. He dragged Youl in the cave.
"I'm going to get that Ghost, don't worry about me," Erik said.
"No Erik---!" Alex yelled but it was too late, Erik was already running off the mountain. The Ghost sped right toward him, and then he jumped into thin air. He caught the hood of the Ghost and the Jackal tried to get him off. Erik erected his knife from his gauntlet and stuck it in the Jackals head. He quickly knocked the Jackal off and took control of the Ghost. In the meantime the other Ghost was trying to shoot him down. Erik fired his plasma weapons at the other Ghost. The other Ghost swerved and dodged the attack. The other Covenant were almost to where his team was due to their speed.
"Damn," he said to himself. He thought of something. Erik was started to shoot at the Covenant that were advancing up the mountain. The other Ghost went to guard its comrades and got right in front of them.
"See you guys later," Erik said. He ran his Ghost right toward the other Ghost and jumped for a ledge he had seen sticking out of the mountain. The Ghost ran right into the other Ghost and they both blew up, taking the other Covenant with them. Erik landed on the ledge and so the fire works display above him.
"Erik come in," Alex said on her COM link too him.
"I'm here," Erik said. "I'm coming backup.
"Freeze!" a plasma pistol was aimed right at Erik's head, and he could do nothing about it.
