Chapter 5 Brothers End September 21, 2552
McKay and I covered each other. We seemed to be unstoppable. Blood want everywhere on our uniforms.
" Die you bastards!" I yelled to the Covenant. We saw a Warthog flipped on its side and Marines where behind it. We ran behind it.
" Sergeant Johnson, Branson and Armstrong where still alive.
" Where's McKinley?" I asked Branson.
" McKinley is dead. He was shot up by Elites." Branson said.
We kept on shooting. This fight was going to be over before it started. I heard a stream of air come past is.
" Banshee!" Yelled Branson. The Banshee fired its plasma at is. I shot along the bottom of it. The banshee went down. It blew up on impact. Pieces of it flew all over the place.

The battle raged on. The Covenant had sent in reinforcements because it seemed like waves and waves of them kept on coming. We had now made barricades from broken and flipped vehicles. My group was now behind two Warthogs one flipped and one, which was incapacitated. There was glass everywhere. I took a piece. I placed it over the side of the Warthog to see how many others we where up against. It looked like their where about 60 left. We on the other hand had about 20, 30 tops.
" Ok men I'm going to send over two grenades. That should take care of a few of 'em. Then you guys come charging out. I don't know if this will work but we have to try." I said. All the men around me nodded at my idea.
" Men…three…two…one!" I said. I pulled the pin on two grenades and threw them over the Warthog into the sky. When the landed I heard a big explosion. Covenant flew all over the place. We all ran out and shot. The scene was dusty with smoke everywhere. It was hard to see what we where shooting at. We heard screams from the Covenant.
" Elite incoming!" Screamed McKay, as 10 Elites jumped in the air where their energy swords ready to strike. They sliced 10 Marines, they where all dead. McKay shot 2 Elites in the head. I had shot 1 in the head. Johnson took out 4 quickly. Soon the rest of the Elites went down.
" Hamilton watch out!" Yelled McKay. I jumped out of the way as a Banshee flew over head shooting its plasma down at me. Chucks of dirt and grass blew out of the ground.
" That was close." I muttered to myself. We kept of running through the smoke and kept on shooting blindly. The smoked cleared. We saw all of these Covenant all lying on the ground dead. Blood and carnage was everywhere. We finished them off. We had one. I sighed and put down my gun and fell to the ground in exhaust and so did everyone else.
I few hours passed with no sign of the Covenant or of any Pelicans. We did a head count. There were only 15 of us left alive including the wounded. We had barely won but it was still a win. I had gone up the stairs and rest against the wall up there. I took out the dog tags I had gotten, I sighed. I lay my arms down. I couldn't believe that I survived this day. I rolled up my sleeve to check my wounds. There were little shards of metal and scrapes which where filled with dirt. Then I checked my leg. There was the same result. Except there was a huge gash on my knee. I took out some bandages and a cloth, which had cleaning chemicals on it already, and fixed myself up.
The cloth burned a little but I toughed it out. After I was done with heeding to my wounds I took off my helmet. My hair was all wet and sweet was running down my face. I took out a water bottle from my pack and guzzled it down. I saw McKay coming up the stairs. He sat down beside me.
" Hey there you alright?" McKay said to me in, sounding concerned.
" Yah I'm fine." I said and sighed.
" Hey just to let you know we got a transmission from a Pelican, thee coming to pick us up." Said McKay. We talked for a while about today. Then we just stared off into space. I saw a few Pelicans coming in. They looked like black dots.
" Hey what you going to do when we get back to the ship?" Said McKay.
" I'm going to take a nice long shower." I said, and then I closed my eyes.
