Purple streaks was all that could be seen, hastily Blake changed the camera.It was dead.He heard a loud thump, his heart went cold.The convenant has boarded the station.
"Crap" he said , "we're in for it now.
"Angel tell captain Wood we've been boarded, and grab gun you'll need it."
Angel's eyes were fixed on a camera positioned on the maintenance deck.
"Snap out of it angel!"
She did, her fingers worked as she opened communications with the command center.
"Sir" she said "we've been boarded!"
Captain Wood looked grimer than ever.
"All hands, man your battle stations"
The all significant red alert was heard trough the station.
The station Thermopolis, practically on Earth's doorstep was under attack by the Convenant.
It was all too true the Convenant had found the Earth, it was now a matter of time.
"You think we can win?" Angel asked as she grabed 4 frag's.
"You want the truth?" Blake responded.
She stared at him for a while.
"Yes"
"The truth is that we can't win Angel, those are 2 Convenant carriers out there.They have an army strong enough to take over a planet."
Her face darkened.
She was a psychic, but anyone could tell that rigth off the bat.
She had blue-green hair, wich was rare even among psychics.
Her mystic eyes were a ligth brown color.
Blake on the other hand was a blonde haired, blue eyed American.He was a realist and knew death was not far off.
As they left the weapons locker, they saw marines fliping tables, hiding, and finding cover.
"Hell no, don't tell me those SOB's already got this far"
said an impacient Blake.
"Hell yes" said a ODST.
Blake surveyed the area.
"Let's find cover"
"let's" Angel responded.
They found cover behind a flipped table, next to the same OSDT from before.He didn't say a word.
A couple of marines ran into the room, they took positions near a work station.
"There coming" said a marine.
Seconds later they heard shouts, human and convenant.
Three marines ran into the room, one of them tried to run for the hallway.An ODST punched him in the face, the marine took positions.
They saw something blue and shiny, the room erupted with shots, an elite dropped dead.
A plasma grenade flew in, a marine caugth it in his helmet and threw it back helmet and all.
As it exploded, convenant swarmed from the two entrances.
At first they were getting shot up, but there were too many.
Marines and ODST alike began falling back.The room was small and it was hard to hide, much less fall back.Blake shot blindly at the incoming convenant, there was no need to aim.Marines began to drop quickly.
"I gotta do something, Angel get behind that wall and cover me"
She did what he said.
Blake ran out and grabbed an RPG from a dead marine, he collected as many grenades as he could without getting shot.
An ODST yelled " good luck buddy".
He ducktaped the grenades(plasma and frag)to the RPG.
"Be careful Blake!"Angel yelled trying to beat the fire arms.
He turned around the corner as a plasma bolt struck his shoulder, he was blinded by the blast.Blake fired the suped-up RPG.It exploded in a blast of plasma and fire, the convenant were consumed in the blast.
There was a brief pause as the soldiers stared at the hole it had made to the deck below.
"DAMM!" a marine shouted.
An ODST stood up and yelled "Get going, evacuate dammit!"
Marines began scavenging for weapons before leaving the room.
Angel filled Blake's wound with medical foam.
"You'll be fine Blake, just don't move so much"
It hurt and burned, but the tougth he'd saved marines filled his mind.
"Hey you help me with him" Angel said to a frustrated marine.
They helped Blake off the ground.
The marine looked at him.
"That was some awsome fireworks man, you did good today"
As he said this his head exploded in blood and plasma.
The three elites looked at the strange haired human female.
Angel closed her eyes.
"This is it" thought Blake.
The aliens heads swelled and exploded in blue blood.
Blake felt a strange energy in the air.
He saw Angel faint to the ground.He felt lightheaded and his nose bled.That's when it hit him, it had been Angel she drained her powers to save them.He remembered his superiors talking about her powers.He tought it was just mind reading, and other useful stuff.Not this.
"Hey you, get over here.I'm closing the blast doors"said a marine.
He carried angel through a series of hallways.Along the way he saw wouded soldiers, piles of weapons and ammo(from wich he took a few mag's), and marines discussing their predicament.
He reached the imfirmery.
"What's wrong with her"said a bloodstained nurse.
"She killed three Elites, she used psychic"
"She'll be fine, let her rest"
Blake had to rout a couple of tired marines to get an empty seat where he could lie Angel.
The room filled with ruccus.
"THEY BROKE THROUGH THE DOOR!!"
Here ends the first part of Angel's war.
