Reach: Camp Assault
-------------------------------------------------------------
0920
Reach, Covenant Camp
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mukluk rolled over and grabbed his plasma pistol and four plasma grenades.
He ran outside and looked over towards his Brother. Zukzuk was a new recruit and Mukluks had noticed that he was very jumpy. "What wrong Zukzuk?" asked Mukluk. He never liked to see his brother scared but he was scared too, so he wasn't surprised. "Not scared just excited." said Zukzuk. "Stop lie you scared." said Mukluk. Zukzuk nodded and looked towards the two Ghosts they used for recon. "Zukzuk wanna go."
Mukluk hesitated but knew why. He fled before also but was caught. He knew at the time how to not get caught. "Cut hand and leave blood on ground, then leave quickly, I come with you too." Zukzuk did as his brother said and got on the Ghost, Mukluk came too and they sped off towards the woods.
********************************
John jumped the 'Hog over the hill while Carl tore through the tents with the machine gun. Blood splattered all over the inside of the tents and screams were heard from the Covenant in the tents. Gerry plowed right through the tents. And almost flipped the "Hog" when he slammed into a Banshee. "Hey watch it I'm gunning here!" yelled Paul as he turned the gun around to shot at a Ghost. The rounds punctured the purple metal and the Ghost burst into flames and flipped into a command tent. The yells of Elites pierced the air, it curdled Carl's blood and chilled the marrow in his bones. He shook of the feeling and looked down to the Chief and saw that he was setting up grenades under the pedal and on the dash. "Carl, jump!" he yelled. Carl jumped out and rolled to soften his landing. He turned and saw that John was still in the 'Hog. John turned and hopped onto the outer skeleton of the 'Hog. He pulled a grenade from his belt and threw it into the seat. The grenade bounced on the seat and pinged against the floor. John jumped of the skeleton and landed on two feet as the 'Hog exploded into flames and sped into a large group of Grunts, Jackals and Elites. He ran off towards Carl who was in a close quarters fight with an Elite.
Plasma smashed into the 'Hog and Gerry bounced out of the seat onto the ground below. Paul and Martinez jumped off and ran over towards him. "Hey, old man are you okay?" asked Paul, he turned and saw an Elite charging for him. He jumped up and pulled out his combat knife, the Elite fired at him but he quickly rolled out of the way. Paul charged the Elite and smashed into him headlong. The Elite just picked him up and threw him against a rock. Martinez looked over and saw that Paul was out cold. He turned and went into a low stance and fired into the stomach of the Elite. The shield dropped and three rounds tore through its belly, but it didn't slow down. Martinez jumped up and swung his fist at the alien. It contacted with its face and it stumbled, and Martinez kicked it over. The alien fired one bolt at Martinez and it slammed into his stomach. He winced but fired, into its face, blood flying everywhere. Gerry stood up and walked over to Paul; he checked his vitals and picked him up on his shoulders. "Martinez lets get out of here!" They ran to John while he killed the Elite. "Chief we need an evac right now!" said Martinez.
"Alright, I'll get a pelican in to get us out of here."
Ten minutes later a pelican came into view and landed in front of the group Gerry put Paul on the floor then climbed in, dragging him to the back most seats. Martinez got in and sat in next to Paul. "C'mon man wake up." He said. Carl sat at the front across from John and fired into the camp. John looked at the ODST, unconscious at the back. Martinez grabbed a med kit from the wall and wrapped up his stomach while Gerry went into the cockpit.
The captain said through the speakers, "Eta, 20 minutes." Carl stood up and strode over to Paul. "Hey, man wake up. we're almost to the bunkers." Paul stirred and looked up to Carl, with dazed eyes. "God damn man, can't a guy get some rest?" he asked chuckling to himself. Carl patted him on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Good to have you back man." John looked out of the back of the pelican. "Ch-Chief." said Johnson over the com. "Get your green ass down here were getting overrun." John ran to the cockpit door and yelled. "Hey pilot step on it!" The pelican boosted on ahead and John looked out of the back of the craft, Johnson was standing on top of the bunker and Austin was using a Warthog gun that was mounted on the top of the bunker. A Marine was standing near the edge of the bunker, when a plasma bolt slammed into his face he flailed around and stumbled off of the bunker, to the ground below. The pelican flew low over the bunker roof and Carl and John jumped out. "Hey Johnson." said Chief firing a burst into the group of Covenant below. "How's it hangin?" Johnson lobbed a grenade into the group. It exploded before it hit the ground, throwing shrapnel in the faces of the Covenant. "Good as it can get." he said. "Now pick up that rocket launcher and get to work!" John picked it up and fired at a Banshee that was flying low. It contacted with its outer hull and it lost control. It flipped upside-down then burst into flames. Its burning rider fell into the group and the Banshee itself crashed into another Banshee, exploding in a bright blue flash. "It's a damn beautiful thing." said Johnson chewing on the butt of a cigar. "That's not an explosion." said Austin. He ran and pulled Johnson to the ground, while John shielded Carl. The ball of energy hit the bunker and a Wraith roared into view.
