-- AS TOLD BY HUNTER_KILLER --
1049 Hours, November 6th, 2003(Military Calendar)/
Inside Covenant Cruiser Truth & Reconciliation,
HPC
Our squad ran ahead, to the Brig Door. I signaled for Elf and Odin to move up. Then I noticed the door was locked. "Impossible," Said I.
"Spark's sealed us from Keyes! Damnit!" Yelled Hawk, as he banged his hand against the door.
I took another piece of meatloaf, and threw it at the door. Elf dove out of the way, as the door gave way to the explosion.
The Golden Elite was right at the door, and yelled at us. "Wort! Wort! Wort!" He then slashed clean through the Marine we rescued earlier with his Plasma Blade. However, before he could advance, he met with Plasma and Buckshot and Bullet and Needle.
His shields gave way, as well as his armor. He writhed in pain, and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, the battle got the stealth elites and the sleeping Grunts all riled up. I ducked from incoming fire, as my squads did the same.
I loaded my AR with Plasma Grenades, and stuck it around the corner with my arm. Twenty(at least)glowing blue orbs landed everywhere.
Three seconds later, explosions and screams came that could be heard world-round came. And I ducked my pretty lil' head in there to see a clear brig, except for our boys in the slammer cells.
"Nice going, sirs! You really kicked the shit--" A Marine said, but was interrupted by the Captain. "Stow it soldier. Chiefs, nice job. Deactivate the cells with the panel up there."
"Aye, aye," I replied, and my men spread out in the cells. I deactivated the shields, and went to the captain's cell. "Sir! Rescue Team has arrived!" I whooped, as I helped Keyes up.
"With a vengeance," Mainevent put in.
"Coming here was reckless. You 20 knew better than that," Keyes said sternly.
"That's why I only brought three squads, Captain," I replied.
A smile came over his face. "Thanks." He walked out, in front of the control platform. The Marines in the cells and my squads gathered round our commander 'n chief.
"While the Covenant had us locked in here, I overheard them talking about this Ringworld. They call it, 'Halo'," He said.
I slung my AR over my shoulder, like the Chief, as Cortana tapped into my Marine Helmet's Speakers to talk. "Stand By... The Ring has some sort of deep, religious significance for them. If I'm analyzing this correctly, they believe Halo is some sort of weapon. One with vast, unimaginable power."
The Captain rubbed his chin with his hand for a second. "Is it true... the Covenant kept saying 'Whoever controls Halo controls the fate of the universe'." I then indicated me and the other HBOers. "Hunter_Killer, Mainevent, other HBOers, I have a new mission for you. Find Halo's Control Center before the Covenant. If the Covenant find it first, they'll use Halo against us and wipe out the entire Human Race."
"Captain, we have the Control Center's Coordinates. If we are to act, it must be quickly." I said. "I'm in. Let's save Humanity one last time, guys."
The others nodded.
The Captain picked up the needler and all the crystal clips he could carry. He then loaded the weapon. "H_K, you have the point."
"Shut up and get behind me..." I said, as the Chapter headline appeared.
"Sir." Finished CoLd.
At that moment, we got a checkpoint and were molested by a squad of Red Grunts and Invisible Elites to match.
Suddenly, a strong blow by an invisible foe knocked me to the ground and purged me of three health bars. I was down to two.
However, a volley of needles by Keyes found their mark and exploded with pink microshrapnel, offing my assailant. "Thanks," I said, as I slowly stood up.
In the next minute and a half, we "Kicked their asses!" Whooped a Mexican Marine with an accent.
We trooped on, encountering minor Covenant Security. However, most of the Security in the ship was splattered on the walls and ground already.
When we got to the control room, I entered just in time to see the last Marine get sliced by a Stealth Plasma Swordsman.
I fired 10 sniper rounds into the fuzzy area, with the rewards of an elite materializing, dead.
Of course, the other one got major-like pissed and charged. "Give him hell!" Ordered Sergeant Jonson, who we had rescued along with Keyes.
A barrage of Plasma and Needle from the Marines totally obliterated the enemy. "Nice one," I said. "You Marines 're getting better 'n better."
"We made it," Said Cortana. "Cortana to Echo 419. Requesting evac at our position now. We've got the Captain."
"Negative, Cortana," Foe Hammer replied. "I've been engaged by Covenant air patrols. I'm havin' a tough time shaking them."
I predicted this, and said, "Why me? Why now?"
Nonetheless, Cortana kindly informed Keyes of the Evac Status. The third and final Marine, an American Private, freaked out and yelled, "Aw man! We're trapped in here! We're screwed! We're screwed, man!"
"You will be screwed if you don't stow it, Marine," Snapped CoLd.
"Yah, you a leatherneck, mister. I'm 11, an I ain't complaining none," I said. "If we can get to a Covie Ship, I can drive us the hell outa Dodge."
We all agreed, then Keyes said, "Son. That's my line," With another smile.
"Sorry," I said, then a shitload of Veteran Grunts charged us. "You will be!" Yelled a Grunt, with a ferocious bark.
After a bit of shooting, the area was secure. "C'mon. The Bay's 150 meters away! That's cake," I said.
As we fought ferociously for every step, Elf yelled at me, "Cake Huh? What foods you make, boy?!"
I shot a volley at an Elite, who fell. I then snapped back, "Knuckle sandwiches! Want any!?"
He was about to reply, when I yelled at him to duck and opened up the Assault Rifle Smackdown on an Elite right behind Elf.
"You owe me big time!" I chanted. Then, Elf shot a tank round over my shoulder, obliterating the three offending Jackals who had me targeted. "Wanna call it even?" I asked with a fake laugh.
As we entered the Dropship, I ran to the yoke-like controls and alien Pilots' Seat of the ship. "I'm driving!" I yelled, and gave it the gun out of here.
"Time for a little payback," Keyes said.
