Hi if any of you have read Assault Parts 1-4 that was me under a differnet name. Sorry I never finished it.
Narssesil, Gratonkuf
Covenant Planet
2230 hours
The Chief looked out the window of his HEV pod and saw four others each holding a Spartan. Linda, Will, Kelly, Fred, and himself were on a mission to land on the Covenant military training planet directly below him gather intel and technology, destroy any key buildings, and capture key personnel then hijack a Covenant dropship and have Cortana fly them out to the UNSC cruiser Messiah waiting on the other side of the moon.
"Ten to dirt," said Cortana coolly to the Spartans, "nervous Master Chief?"
"What's to be nervous about it's only what, a couple thousand troops at the least, with little to no intel on landscape or anything else for that matter," he responded without looking up from his gear, "Cortana can you use the Covenant satellites to give me an accurate body count?"
"Yes," said Cortana, "but it could take a couple minutes."
He made sure his gear was all there:
Battle Rifle and 12 spare clips, M90 shotgun and 72 spare shells, SMG with 6 spare clips, a dozen frags, a combat knife, and two canisters of C6 good it was all there.
"Three to dirt," remarked Cortana.
The Master Chief's HEV's metallic skin boiled away revealing the steel cage encasing the Chief and his gear.
And fell to the ground below landing with a thud. A minute later the five Spartans landed on the planet in a perfect V formation. It was snowing outside of the HEV, but that didn't prevent the Covenant from spotting them and sending a welcoming party consisting of six Grunts, four Jackals, and two Elites.
"Contacts, eleven o'clock," shouted the Chief.
Linda who was on the left of the V emptied her clip, dropping two Elites, two Jackals, and a Grunt. John, Kelly, Will, and Fred opened up on the rest of the troops with a series of burst stopping the Grunts dead in their tracks. The Jackals however were veterans and acted the part as they rolled, putting them selves in a position that was almost impossible to get a clean shot. But the Chief found it and dropped one Jackal the other panicking started firing randomly while steadily retreating, but that gave Linda the angle she needed. She rolled to the left and aimed her S2 AM at the exposed skin of the Jackal and fired, Jackal fell onto the snow blood trickling out of the wound.
Damn, they know we're here, but we still have the element of surprise as long as they think we're dead. Now keep moving and pay attention," four acknowledgement lights winked on letting the Chief know they understood.
The Spartan spread out a little more in the wide valley trying to make themselves less of a target for mass fire or grenades.
"Chief you asked for a body count," Cortana said grimly, "It's in the high trillions low zillions roughly the same amount Wellesley scanned on Halo."
"Shit," The Chief whispered, "The Flood! Team we have a snag. You all remember the incident on Reach and where I was, The Flood was. Well the AI at our base scanned the area both above and below-ground the body count is almost the same."
"We need extraction if that's the case," said Fred.
"With what, we weren't given any means of communication strong enough to get to orbit," responded Kelly grimly.
"We're going to need a dropship or something that can go into vacuum," said the Master Chief, "We have to find one but after and only after we have confirmed the presence of the Flood do we abort this mission."
The Chief looked up ahead and saw three boulders in there path. When his team was ten meters away two of them glowed sickly green.
"Shit, Hunters," the Chief shouted as he dived out of the way of one of the pulses.
The other slammed into Fred knocking him back four meters. The Spartans knew it was useless to pepper the aliens with armor piercing rounds, and Fred had the M19 SSM launcher so they had to flank the walking tanks. The aliens' guns glowed again ready to fire another salvo this time directed at Kelly and Will. They evaded the superheated plasma a continued to get in flanking position. The Hunters turned with them exposing there leathery skin to the Chief who had stayed where he was. He rolled a frag between the monsters. Five seconds later the grenade detonated with a thump and both Hunters fell forward, orange blood painting the snow.
Fred sprinted forward just in time to see the walking tanks fall.
Fred swore, "Sorry I missed the party."
"That's okay you got a souvenir," Kelly pointed to his slightly charred chestplate.
The Chief started to leave when he got an idea.
"Spartans, hold position for a moment," the Chief said as he sprinted back to their original kill site.
He grabbed the Jackals shields went back and gave them to Will, Kelly, Linda, and Fred.
"Wait Chief what do you get," questioned Fred.
The Chief slung his Battle Rifle hefted the Hunter's shield and un-holstered his SMG.
"Well now I don't feel sorry for you anymore," smirked Fred.
The MJOLNIR armor was perfectly weight balanced, but now the Chief felt front heavy lugging around the enormous shield. Twenty meters ahead his motion sensors painted contacts, lots and lots of contacts.
"Spartans, delta formation around Linda, I'm the point," the Chief said.
His team's shields made the Covenant hesitate giving the Chief a second to asses the situation. A hundred Grunts, fifty Jackals, twenty Elites, and four Hunters.
John said, "Open fire on the sons of a bitches!"
