Battle for the Colonies Part One: Alpha Comus 8
Date: 11 July 2003, 4:36 PM
"Go!" Yelled Sergeant Johnson, as the LAAG Gun Sarge was on blazed away, spent bullet casings falling to the ground.
"Yes, sir!" A Private said, as he jumped into the drivers' seat.
"Hey, wait for me!" A Naval Lieutenant said, carrying an Assault Rifle(Most likely taken from a Dead Marine, there were plenty), and got in the passenger spot.
The Warthog roared to life, picking up speed as it moved away from the scene.
"I can't believe it," Said the Lt. to the Marines in the vehicle, "14 Pelican Dropships, one of them I piloted, 20 Warthogs, and 12 Scorpions. We're all that's left."
"Don't give up hope yet," Said the Private, "I'm picking up multiple UNSC Signatures over the next hill."
The 'Hog flew over the hill, still gaining speed.
The Private braked it to a halt, as 8 Marines and an upturned 'Hog were making a stand versus a squad of
Grunts, Jackals, and a Red Armored Elite.
The LAAG Caught two Jackals off guard, and the Covenant Warriors fell.
A Grunt said, "Ah! More Humans!" And started to take off.
********************************************************************************
The Master Chief was in a Scorpion Tank, with Three Marines riding on the Tank Pods.
"Chief," Said Cortona, "I'm picking up both Friendly and Covenant movement, over that hill."
"On it."
********************************************************************************
The Grunt, Tayray, saw a Tank proceed down the hill.
A tank shell brought the Grunt to Transcend to the Next Level.
********************************************************************************
Sergeant Johnson saw the explosion, and also saw the Tank. He gave the Thumbs Up to the SPARTAN. The Master Chief returned it, and commenced shelling the Covenant Forces. It was over in one minute flat.
The surviving three Marines thanked the Chief.
The SPARTAN flipped over the Warthog, allowing the Marines to get in.
With a Tank and Two Warthogs, they continued, decimating Enemy Forces as they went.
Cortona clicked on the communicator. "This is The Master Chief and Cortona, to any Pelican Dropships. Come in, Please."
After a moment, a response crackled through.
"This is Pelican Echo 271, I hear ya' Cortona. What do you need?"
"We have to get out of the Combat Zone, we are only survivors."
"Will do, Cortona. I'll give you the Rendezvous Coordinates, be there in five. Echo 271, over and out."
"Chief, I'm displaying a Nav Point, a Pelican will be there in Five Muinites."
A Nav Point appeared on the Chief's HUD.
"Understood." The Vehicles began on the new heading.
Five Wraiths appeared, out of the horizon.
"This is bad," Said a Marine.
"Bet it took ya all day to figure THAT out," said the Sarge, as the Plasma Shells began to explode around them.
"Chief, two Shells should take one out," Said Cortona.
"Ok, this could take a second."
The Scorpion's Main Cannon belched smoke and flame, as a small mushroom cloud rocked a Wraith.
"A hit!" Yelled the same Marine.
"Marines," Said the Chief over his Comm. Line, "Give me some cover fire. I'm going in."
"Got it," Said a Marine, as the Hogs sped ahead, LAAG Guns blazing.
The Chief jumped out of the tank, along with the Marines.
"How many Grenades?"
"One, if you're lucky and hit an exhaust pipe."
"Ok. That's five grenades, down the hole."
"Marines, throw all your grenades when you are in range. It will disable the enemy."
"You heard the Man, move it!" The Chief and the Marines took off.
Meanwhile, the 'Hogs were giving the Wraiths hell. They couldn't shell the Hogs without killing themselves.
A Marine stuck his tongue out at a Tank, an Elite emerged from the Tank, and took a shot a the Marine.
The superheated Plasma Burned his tongue right off. The Marine screamed in pain, but was still alive.
A LAAG Filled the Covie with 300 Bullets.
The Tank stopped moving.
Two Marines got in, and steered the tank. In a suicidal act, they shot a Plasma Mortar into the air. The thing set off all the combatants' grenades, destroying all the Wraiths, and the Warthogs.
The Chief and the Marines arrived, took a moment of silence, and moved on, using the Scorpion.
"Chief, the Point is 70 Meters away," Cortona said.
"Acknowledged."
After that, several small road blocks were created by the Covenant, mostly consisting of Grunts, and occasionally a Jackal. However, they were shattered with little or no skirmish.
Finally, they arrived.
The Pelican appeared out of the sky."Echo 271, Reporting for duty," Came over the radio.
It latched onto the Tank with the Winch on the Bottom of the Dropship, then set down for human pick-up. The Master Chief was the first one aboard.
As the Pelican lifted off, the Chief admired how these Pelicans could carry a Tank, yet still fly.
The Pelican shook as it exited the Stratosphere. Suddenly, all around them were stars, endless stars.
"Pelican Echo 271 requests permission to land, Cruiser Buckaroo," Said the Pilot, over the microphone.
"Permission Granted. You're clear to land. Welcome Home."
