-- As told by CoLd BlooDed -
0945 Hours, Unknown Date/On Halo Installation 04, approaching command center also known as Alpha Base.
CovieKilla moaned and FOrunnER attended to him as the Pelican shook from a small patch of turbulence.
"How's he doing back there?" questioned Mainevent sternly over the COM from the cockpit.
"He'll be fine," FOrunnER replied calmly, "Just as long as we get to Alpha Base in the next fifteen minutes."
"Don't worry, according to our speed, Maxell says we'll be there in five." responded Mainevent, "Just keep an eye on CovieKilla."
CoLd BlooDed peered out of the open ramp at the back of the Pelican, they had left the snow-capped mountains and we're now flying over some rocky hills and lakes. Goatrope checked his weapons while talking to Wado and 'Nosolee, who had a relaxed _expression on his face and twirled his knife around between his fingers.
Mainevent flew the Pelican with swift and agile skill, and soon they had crossed the large plain and the plateau where Alpha Base was located could be seen clearly.
"This is November squad to Alpha Base, we have wounded, requesting authorization to set down." Mainevent said over the COM system so the rest of the team could hear the conversation.
"Good to hear from you, November squad, you trapped in the Halo universe too?" asked the familiar voice of Alpha Lance.
"Roger."
"Sucks, I tell you. See in you the next few minutes, your clear to land on pad A-2." Alpha Lance said and then clicked off the COM channel.
The Pelican dove and then re-balanced, below them CoLd BlooDed could see the makeshift walls of Alpha Base. They then stopped in mid-air, and slowly hovered downward until they hit the landing pad. The hum that the Pelican usually make stopped suddenly, and CoLd BlooDed hopped out the back followed by the rest of the team.
Two marines ran over with a stretcher and CovieKilla was loaded on, clutching at his arm, and was carried away to the infirmary. Mainevent hopped out of the cockpit and walked over to the rest of his squad. A technician came over to Mainevent and whispered something to him, then Main turned around to November squad and said, "Okay guys, we're called to the meeting room."
They followed the tech into the structure and weaved through several hallways until they finally came into the "meeting room". Inside was just a large and long plank of wood, balancing among a pile of bricks positioned under each corner of the "table". Several lights flicked above the three meter tall room, and sitting in a chair was Alpha Lance and Louis Wu.
"What's the problem, Wu?" asked CoLd BlooDed respectively.
"Hunter_Killer and his squad were sent to assault the Truth & Reconciliation and rescue Captain Keyes." Wu replied and then added, "They need help, we've been monitoring there Bio-signals and most of the marines Bio-signs have gone dead."
"And you want us to help," speculated Wado.
"Put bluntly, yes. We need you, November squad, to go in and help them out." Alpha Lance said. "We're not taking 'no' for an answer, you're to be on the landing pads in ten."
"We'll re-assemble our team, then." ardently said Mainevent who saluted, he then motioned his team out of the room, and just as they started down the hallway two familiar faces greeted them.
It was Hawk7886, Helljumper and teemus, all walking solemnly down the hall, and smiled when they saw the members that made up November squad.
"Where you guys headed?" asked Hawk, directing the question to Main.
"We're helping out H_K at the T&R site," replied Main, "He's having a bit of trouble."
"Then we're coming too," said Helljumper with a proud look upon his face.
"No." said Wado, "I don't think you're authorized."
"Come on!" whined Hawk, sounding very much like a toddler, Helljumper gave his best puppy-eyes and teemus flexed his arms.
Mainevent looked at CoLd, then Wado, 'Nosolee and Goatrope who smirked with amusement.
"Fine, you're in." Mainevent said quietly, he nodded to Hawk to follow them. "We're first going to the armory to pick up our weapons."
"Sounds good," responded Hawk, and he, Helljumper and teemus followed November squad to the armory with grins on their expressions.
1019 Hours, November 6th, 2003 (HBOer Time, Synchronized with H_K Time)/Halo Installation 04, approaching T&R site to aid H_K and teammates.
"ETA three minutes." the pilot said over the team freq.
Hawk7886 had a Rocket Launcher rested over his knees while Helljumper carried an Assault Rifle and a Pistol with a few grenades. Beside teemus was an AR and Rocket Launcher which was quite a heavy burden, even for a Spartan.
CoLd BlooDed carried a sniper and plasma pistol while the rest of the squad bore AR's and Pistols, with four grenades attached to their belts. Several other ODSTs accompanied November squad. It was night, just like the level, and as they approached a voice came in over the COM.
"CoLd!? God help us." the voice belonged to Elfster.
Below them raged an intense firefight, every few seconds an explosion went off or guns went rattling. The Pelican swiveled around so the could jump onto the ground and CoLd BlooDed spotted H_K crouching behind a box and waved.
The first thing CoLd BlooDed saw was the Warthog that the Pelican had been carrying was dropped onto a Grunt. Blue blood squirted everywhere as the alien's head was crushed. The Pelican dropped down, and November squad and their followers (Helljumper, Hawk, and teemus) jumped out with flashlights activated on their weapons.
CoLd pulled out his plasma pistol and charged the energy, then let it speed towards an oncoming Ghost. The over-charged plasma bolt splashed into the drivers face and temporarily blinded him; the Ghost then went careening off the cliff but not before hitting a few Jackals.
"Move, move, move! Kill those SOB's!" yelled 'Nosolee over the team channel.
Just as H_K's squad had finished off a batch of Elites, twenty more hovered down from the grav lift. Mainevent hurled a grenade onto the grav lift and it exploded, sending a few Grunts in separate directions and knocking out a few Elites shields.
November squad fought with triumph, but were careful enough not to get shot. CoLd BlooDed had scored quite a few kills in the last few minutes, and Hawk and teemus had managed to blow away large hordes of approaching Covenant. Helljumper acted by himself, and had almost been killed when a plasma grenade attached to his boot. Quickly he had kicked it off onto the gravity lift and killed a bunch of Covenant.
Wado, 'Nosolee and Goatrope fought as a team, they camped on the top of a ridge and had taken out lots of arriving enemies. When the Covenant finally stopped coming, the HBOer's and surviving marines secured the grav lift and one by one were sucked into the belly of the Truth & Reconciliation.
November squad, Hawk, Helljumper, teemus, and H_K's team all stood in the familiar room of the T&R in which they were about to be fiercely attacked.
"No Covenant?" said the marine, "Think maybe nobodies home?"
