As they flew out of the forest, those things came at them. They climbed trees, hopped over rivers, and one even got in the dropship. Johnson had to kick him out, and he made a lovely splat on the rocks below. When they cleared the forest, the found themselves overlooking a large lake. They followed a river for a while, and then headed of towards the downed covenant ship they were using as a temporary HQ.
As they flew over an icy area, Sarge thought he heard a small phloosh. A second later, all he could hear was bells ringing in the back of his ears as the Pelican's engine exploded in a burst of flames and shrapnel. A chunk of engine punched through Clay's leg like it was paper. He screamed and grabbed his leg. Another piece flew through the air and knocked the door separating the pilots from the passengers down. Julie looked back to see what happened, and saw the piece of shrapnel fly right at her. It hit her in the face, and she slumped over.
Johnson leaned out of the Pelicans back door and saw what hit them a second later, as a rocket flew past. So those things had taken our weapons. A minute later, a pair of rockets came screaming up at them, and hit the other engine and the bottom of the craft. Sarge, reacting quickly, closed the back door of the Pelican when he heard the rockets fire again. The last thing the saw was the engine blow apart before the door closed. Shrapnel pounded the door, leaving large dents.
The Pelican began to descend rapidly. They braced for impact, then everything went black. Johnson woke a minute later, and could hardly see due to all the smoke. It was a wonder the gas didn't explode. Then he realized that was a bad thing, since that meant it would blow any time now. He tried to open the door, but to no avail. He looked around, and then saw that the Pelicans front window had shattered. Anthony was starting to get up, and Chris was already moving towards the door.
"Don't bother Marine, its locked. Help me get the rest out of here." Chris grabbed the two pilots, Anthony hit Franky, causing him to get up, and Johnson tossed the wounded Clay over his shoulder. "Let's move." Johnson yelled, and they all made there way through the window.
They ran, and after about thirty seconds, the Pelican exploded. The hit the dirt, or rather, snow, and waited. As the debris settled, they slowly got up and scouted around for anything they could salvage. They found the weapons locker flung open with two MA5B's, three M9D's, and one M90, not to mention a lot of ammo, scattered around it.
After a minute they were on their way. They found a way into an underground tunnel, and worked there way through it. There were a lot of rocks down here, a perfect place for an ambush. Yet, there was nothing. After a while, they found a large door. Sarge hit the panel and was greeted by those things pouring out of the door. Anthony, Franky, and Johnson all opened fire. After a minute the coast was clear. They entered the doorway, and found a large, open area in front of them. A large gap filled most of the room, with only one way across. The other bridge looked destroyed, so the only way across was the bridge on their left. Suddenly, the passage behind them was filled with those things, and Franky hit the door. Johnson and Anthony held them off as Franky began setting C12 charges around the door. When it closed, he said to them.
"If anything tries to come through this door, these charges should short it out, not to mention leave a little surprise for the one opening it." They made there way across a bridge and through an already open door. Franky closed it behind them. When they reached the surface, they found the Covenant and those things fighting. Wraiths, Shades, Ghosts, and three Banshees seemed to be fighting an endless wave of those things. They made their way to a cave off in the distance, avoiding the fight by hugging the canyon wall. Johnson wanted nothing more than to jump into the fight, but he had no ammo left. When they reached the cave, they found four ODST, six Marines, and a pile of bodies. Johnson set Clay down near the Medic, and then went over to the marine and ODST leaders.
"Sir," said the ODST leader, also a Sergeant. The ODST leader was a Corporal. "Corporal Locklear, Sir. This is Sergeant Eversman"
"So, what's our status?" Johnson asked, looking at the two men. "We have a lot of wounded, but enough ammo to hold this cave for weeks."
"Good," said Johnson, "Now let's get to work."

Incase anyone is wondering, Chapter 3, and 4 take place in Two Betrayals. See if you can spot the connections. Also, I hope you like the rest. Please give me comments. I need them.
