"Hit it Spartans, go go go," the pilot roared into his headset as they hit the surface.
Sam and the other Spartans hopped out of the Pelican as plasma streamed past their heads. Sam and the others took cover behind a crashed Pelican. "We can't stay," said Sam, "The plasma fire will tear us to pieces. November 34 to Hotel 61 do you read me, over."
"Roger November 34 this is Hotel 61."
"Hotel 61 we need you and your squadron to lay down suppresive fire when we attack the 10 story building to our 12 o'clock, over."
"Copy that, November 34. Hotel 61 to all Hotel units target the 10 story building and open fire out it. Go Go Go."
10 Pelicans roared over head unleahing dozens of rockets and machine gun fire. 3 Wraith tanks were destroyed and a company of Covie infantry were decimated. The Spartans then charged the building. Sam and 4 others ran all the way the stairs taking out any Covenant on the way until they reached the roof. Only Covie bodies were on the roof, killed the Pelicans' strafing. The only Covie left was a blue Elite looking down on a group a Spartans, plasma exploding all aroud them from Covie artillery. Sam snuck on it and hit it in it's neck, snapping it, killing him instantly. The Elite must have been a forward artillery observer because a minute after his death the Covie artillery fire ceased.
Within 10 minutes the entire building was secure. The rest of the Covenant retreated from the area. The Spartans then gathered by the crashed Pelican. Second Lt. Michael-213 came up and said, "Alright guys, the other DZs are secure. In 2 minutes we are gonna move east in 4 parallel lines along with the other companies. We will occupy the left center, companies D and E will be to our right, C and F will take the left flank, and G and H will take the right flank. We only lost 17 men and the other guys at the other DZs took a lot less. We had the toughest DZ to secure plus we lost Pelican went down. We should be OK though, intel reports that only 2 Covie regiments are being sent toward our position. Not very smart on their part is it, they might outnumber 2-1 but one Spartan can take on a dozen Covie himself with ease. Let's move out."
They got up a began moving east down a 6 lane street with buildings on it's sides. Sam's HUD displayed the other 3 Spartan columns and 2 Covenant columns moving toward them. they were about 15 minutes away.
Suddenly a Wraith appeared around the corner ahead and fired. The plasma exploded a few yards ahead of the the point man, taking out his shield. He quickly jumped behind a destroyed car, letting his shields recharge. They had walked into the middle of a Covie ambush. Mike fired a rocket from his Jackhammer, it struck the Wraith in it's cannon, it exploded in a ball of plasma. Within a few minutes the Covies retreated suffering heavy casualties.
Suddenly 2 Phantoms and a squadron of Banshees appeared above the buildings. Sam checked his map on his HUD, the 2 regiments of Covies came quicker then he expected, they were already on top of them. The Banshees began strafing them, one fired a blast from it's fuel rod cannon exploding near two Spartans, they were thrown several yards back. The Phantoms then began dropping troops. Several Elites were dropped next to two down Spartans. The two Spartans seem to come back to life, they sprang up and took down 3 Elites with their MA7B rifles. Mike shot down a Banshee with a rocket, it crahed right on top of a pair of Hunters. John took down some Grunts and a Brute with his M90 shotgun. Sam took out a pair of Jackals and a crimson Elite eith his MA7B.
A Brute dropped down right in front of Sam and swung at him with it's hairy arm, knocking him on his back taking away his shields. The Brute came up right on top of him. Sam tried to reach for his rifle just a few feet away. The Brute brought his foot down on his arm. It raised it's arm, Sam could see the bugs crawling around it's hairy body. The Brute then swung his arm down toward Sam's head.
