Inside Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC
Ringworld Halo 004, Upspin 238º
"Well, at least things can't get any worse," Said Elfster, and I almost shot him up with me ARs, as another ten Banshees rose to challenge us.
"This is hopeless," Said bloodsoldier3, as he clung to a metal bar because the Pelican had just avoided a green blob.
The Machine Guns on HBO 1 lit up, and spewed a stream of 70 Caliber Bullets towards a Banshee. It lit up and disintegrated, hitting another one and obliterating that one too. "Two for da' price o' one!" I whooped, and swung the Dropship around.
Two of the bastards followed, shooting deadly blue Plasma at us. I chopped the throttle, and they sped past us. The engines ignited, and twin Rockets turned one into a jumbled heap of scrap and shit.
After realizing that about 5 of their number were now shit, the rest began a tactical retreat. After our victory, I steered for a mass of troops.
The machine guns fired, and the bullets-kicking up dirt-hit in the center of the group. 2 Jackals and an Elite went numb, as another grasped it's broken leg.
The Ghosts couldn't return fire, seeing as I was too high, and the troops' fire had no effect. They swarmed away, helpless against my strafing runs(and I got a few in).
As the last Covenant retreated from the valley, the torn-up November Squad emerged from the cave, and waved down their saviors.
The boys entered, and we did find space in the lockers(more on that later). The overloaded Pelican stumbled away from the sight of the vicious battle, towards Alpha Base.
"This is the game, are you sure there is an Alpha Base? This ain't the book," Said Mainevent's voice from a locker.
"Because," I countered, "There it is." The plateau was unmistakable; besides, 3 Warthogs were circling it and a Pelican had just exited.
"This is Pelican Dropship HBO 1 to Alpha Base. Requesting permission to land," I said into the microphone on my radio.
"Roger, HBO 1. Wait, there ain't no HBO 1!" Came the reply.
"I say there is, and that's the bottom line, cause..." Everyone in the Dropship joined me: "Hunter_Killer says so!"
"H_K!? Sorry, man. I Gotcha," Said the Voice, and I realized it as Alpha
Lance's.
"Alpha, you lucky SOB! I thunked you was dead on the PoA when the Covies broke Barrier Alpha..."
"Nah, but I lost my whole squad one way or another," Alpha said sadly. The Pelican flew into the hanger, and we unloaded. Most of us got Medical Aid one way or another.
I got a couple of hours of the most precious commodity around those parts: sleep.
Three hours later, HPC, Alpha Base/
"H_K! Wake up!!" Elfster's voice brought me back to my quarters, where he stood before my bed. "Wu want's to 'ave a talk," He continued. "He's at the Command Center."
In 2 minutes, I was up there. Alpha, Wu, Main, Ster, and Walker were there. The leaders of the squads that made it back, although there were probably others scattered about Halo.
"What's up?" I asked, as I took a seat.
"Captain Keyes is on the T&R, as you already know,-unless you are the biggest n00b ever-at this point in the game. Because we don't want to screw with the game's system more 'n necessary, we're going to launch an attack on it," Said Wu, "You will be Assault Leader. Squads Delta and Alpha will conduct this bolt. Pelicans Echo 293 and HBO 1 will provide drop-off and airsupport."
"Ok, that don't sound too hard," I responded. The meeting dismissed, and me and Alpha took our squads to the armory to lock 'n load.
A Hunter was there, and I pulled out my knife. Elfster drew his sidearm, and the Squads prepared to fire.
Then, the Hunter did the thing that stopped us all in our tracks. "Wait! It's me, BOLL!"
I holstered my weapon, and said, "Damn, BOLL. You hackers amaze me every single god damn day."
"No time for talk. I'm going to conjure some hacked weapons to help you out, Ok?"
"Gimme," Gratefully said bloodsoldier3, and a load of weapons appeared. I chose an Assault Rifle ("that one shoots Grenades, both kinds, all you need to do is switch thrown grenades, and it'll do the same for the AR," Noted BOLL.)and a needler("That pumps out shotgun shells," Said BOLL).
