Last Mission
0616 hours, August 30, 2552 (Military Calendar)
Reach
"Incoming Covenant forces!" Fred shouted as they stood on the dirt of Reach as they had just set foot on the planet. Spartan 187 heard the command through his COM channel. Ryan was called Spartan 187 in the military. His blue eyes could be seen through his visor just barely. He had gone through all the training the other Spartans had been through but he was one of the lucky few that survived the side affects of the Spartan project. He never lost just like John and Ryan strived to be just as good as him. Twenty-one Grunts came rushing at his squad with plasma weapons blazing. Ryan squeezed the trigger on his MA5B, and fired along with the rest of his squad. They eliminated the alien forces quickly.
"Why would they do that?" Ryan asked through his COM channel.
"It's a diversion," Fred said. The ground shook and Ryan heard screams of alien Banshees above them.
"Everybody tactical positions now!" Fred screamed. Ryan ran to the nearest rock to protect himself and blasted his Assault Rifle at the closest Banshee but it didn't phase it.
"Shit!" he yelled.
"Brandon, Lauren, fire those rockets!" Kelly yelled. Brandon and Lauren fired their M19 SSM Rocket Launchers at the Banshees. Two of them went down in an instant. There were four left.
"Watch out Banshee 6 o'clock!" Ryan yelled. Brandon and Lauren turned around and a Banshee was firing plasma bolts at them. Brandon was shot up in an instant. His energy shield went all the way down and his MJONIR armor was fried. Brandon fell and didn't move. Lauren ducked behind a boulder and fired her Rocket Launcher at the Banshee and it hit it. The Banshee exploded and pieces of it fell to the ground. She reloaded her Rocket Launcher and the three remaining Banshees were closing fast on her position.
"Everybody get out and fire!" Fred yelled. All of the Spartans ran out of their hiding positions and blazed their weapons at the Banshees; the alien vehicles were shattered now.
"Let's get a move on to the Reach Military complex," Fred said. "Green Four and Yellow Eight, you stay outside the complex and watch for enemies approaching our position. Eliminate the enemy. The rest of you come with follow me!" Green four and Yellow Eight ran off in the distance.
"Let's go people we haven't got much time," Kelly said. Ryan and the other followed behind Fred up some mountain to reach the complex. They had double teamed up the mountain and found four Warthogs parked next to each other on the way up. They must have been abandoned when the planet was being attacked. Ryan's squad drove them up to the complex.
Sergeant Rodney approached Fred as they entered the complex, "We're doing the best we can to keep our the super MAC guns running. Two of them are broken and we can't fix then, so we need a crew to go out and get it repaired."
"My squad is on it sir," Fred said and saluted. "Zak, your unit's in charge of getting those MAC guns repaired. Ryan was apart of Zak's unit.
"Get whatever equipment you need, we're headed outside," Zak said. Ryan got some repair equipment and then they were headed outside the complex to get the MAC guns repaired. Ryan's unit hopped inside the Warthog and drove to one of the MAC guns. Ryan hopped out and rushed to the station where it was. The barrel on it was busted and it wouldn't fire. Ryan along with the rest of his crew went to work. About ten minutes passed and then they jumped back in their Warthog to repair the other MAC gun. The drive was about a minute and again Ryan rushed to fix the MAC gun. This gun was totally blasted up, it would take at least thirty minutes to fix and Ryan knew they didn't have thirty minutes to spare.
"I'm still going to try to fix it," Ryan said, and he got to work. The other Spartans went to work as well. Ryan heard Fred's voice on his COM channel.
"They sent a massive amount of Covenant forces to invade. They're coming up on radar and are within three minutes of invading. Get a move on now!" Fred demanded.
"Ok men let's get in that Warthog and move," Zak ordered.
"I'm almost done just a few more--- I got it!" yelled Ryan. He hopped in the Warthog and they were off for the complex where everybody else was. The Covenant was just entering the planet and Banshee's zoomed right above them.
"We'll lead them to the station and they'll destroy it," Ryan said through his COM channel as they kept on driving.
"They already know where it is we keep driving," Malisha said from her seat. They reached the complex and jumped out of the Warthog. The planet was being blasted it as they spoke and the Banshees were blasting at them. The squad ran for the complex and a Banshee shot at the Warthog. It flipped and crushed Zak.
"Keep going…" Zak said and a Banshee blasted at the Warthog again and it blew up. The explosion blew Ryan and the rest of his team back.
"Get up!" Ryan yelled and he helped Malisha up. Tom got up as well and all three of them ran for the complex doors. The Banshees circled the complex and blasted at it. Ryan and his two teammates got inside and ran to the room where Fred was. Fred was ordering everybody to get the best equipment they could fine and get outside and defend the complex. Green Four's leader showed up on the big screen right in front of Fred.
"There are thousands of them……….we….can't…hold them off…" the screen went dead.
"Damn…" Fred trailed off. I'm going to kill those bastards!" Fred ran out of the complex and Ryan, Malisha, and Tom followed. Outside the air was full of smoke and hundreds upon hundreds of Covenant ground forces rushed at the complex.
"We can't take them…" Ryan said. He looked up Covenant battle ships blasted at the planet. There were explosions everywhere and plasma bolts shot everywhere. Ryan would live to fight another day…but that never happened.
