The Chief gave a nod, and turned to the door which slid quietly open. Nothing appeared to be in the door, and one of the marines questioned his own eyes. The Chief threw a grenade into the doorway and heard the clank of the grenade as well as the rolling of two Invis-Elites. One managed to get away, but the other was caught in the blast, and it blew his lower torso apart. The legs and the upper body flew at the same rate and landed half a meter from each other. The intestines of the Elite were near its own head. The other Elite growled in horror at the sight and began to unload his Plasma Rifle. The Chief ran in front of the Captain as the plasma impacted into his own shields. The Chief opened fire and struck the Invis-Elite in the leg, it dropped down and bowed its head. The Chief fired three shots and one of them struck the upper head of the Invis-Elite and penetrated through the brain and out the bottom jaw. One of his mandibles fell to the ground and the Elite atop it.
The marines, glad that they had survived a two Elite attack ran over to the dead Elites and unloaded their weapons upon them. The Chief thought it a waste of ammo. The marines and the Chief left the room and returned to the hallway. They continued down safely as the Chief had already taken most of the enemies out. They entered the large room with the platform and continued past that until they reached the boarding bay. The Chief prompted the marines and the Captain to stay back as he entered the room. The doors slid open and the Chief stood face to face with a Gold Elite. The Chief quickly ducked as the Elite pointed his weapon and unloaded it into the hallway. A barrage of plasma flew and hit the walls. A single plasma bolt struck a marine in the face and melted right through his skin, tissue, and cranium and struck the back wall. The marine fell over onto a fellow other marine's shoulder. Hot tissue fell atop the shoulder of the fellow marine as melted brain fell onto his armor. The oozy plasma melted tissue, burned through the shoulder armor of the marine and he gave out a loud holler, both because of pain and of horror. He pushed the lifeless body away from himself.
The still ducked Chief primed his Assault Rifle and lodged it into the under jaw of the Gold Elite. He applied quite a bit of pressure and he pulled the trigger. The muzzle flash revealed a Gold Elite rain down bits of his own head onto the marines and the Chief. The Chief didn't lay off of the trigger and continued firing until he was only hitting the bloody ceiling. The Gold Elite was now on the floor, and the marines were either looking at the poor marine that died or brushing off brain matter from themselves. There was another Elite behind the Gold Elite that had just perished and seeing as how the Chief was ducked; the marines and the Captain took it upon themselves to help out. They unloaded plasma and needles. Plasma struck the Elite as he scrambled to fight. Three concentrated shots melted off his right arm and three needles hit his body. All of which landed in the chest area. All of them exploded simultaneously, and it ripped open the chest of the Elite and scattered his vital organs around like they were beanbags. The liver, lungs, and the heart jumped out of the chest and a kidney stuck to the wall.
"Messy stuff" the Captain muttered to himself. Purple blood and organs were meshed around the tightly packed hallway. The Chief began moving forward. He turned the corner and looked to reveal no one. He looked down below him as he stood on the third level of the ship. This was the Boarding Bay, they had made it. There was only a single death to get here too. The Captain stepped onto the Gold Elites partial head, separated it further, and continued to move closer to the Chief. The Chief activated the Boarding Bay doors, just as Cortana told him to. The massive door opened as the force field faded into the darkness of space. The Chief jumped down eight meters and landed on top of the Covenant Dropship. He opened the top hatch, and was satisfied as the release of gases filled the air. The hatch opened without a hitch. He dropped down inside. He moved his way through the purple ship and arrived at the cockpit. He activated the things Cortana told him to in the precise order and in mere moments found himself up where the Captain and the two marines were. They climbed onto the ship and dropped into it. The Captain requested control of the ship and received it. He pulled a u-turn and the Chief and the marines flew into the blackness of space. They flew down and after four hours of flying, they arrived at the rendezvous point and met up with other marines and more humans. The Chief had completed his mission, he had extracted the Captain, and his next goal would be the Silent Cartographer.
