Plasma streaked by like a swarm of locust.Marines fell screaming in pain ,their vulnerable flesh melting with plasma residue.The response was quick as the air filled with lead.
"I'll give you cover fire," Angel shouted.
"Fine just watch out,"Blake responded as he held the machinegun's trigger.
Commander Black shouted commands.
"Marines go pick up the shields."
Marines scrambled to create a defensive formation with jackal shields.
Commander Black shouted as he shot an elites head.
"Go, get outta here."
The marines retreated under the cover of purple shields and machine gun fire.
"Machine gunners stay in your post, give us covering fire!"
Blake turned to Angel.
"Okay Angel get outta here now," he demanded.
Angel responded, "fine but you better live."
"Just go damn it!" he shouted as the convenant attack grew swifter and stronger.
She bolted out the room, toward the cortez.
A one legged ODST shuted over the gunfire.
"Okay men let's get the fuck outta here"
Blake jumped out of his seat , picked up a jackal's shield, and ran with the other exausted sweaty marines toward the cruiser.Along the hallway he could still see soldiers taking crates to the cortez.The crates however weren't unsc regulation white but blue.A red top secret sticker was on all its sides.The smaller print read .
MJOLNIR mpt 33612
Whatever it was, it was top secret.And if you didn't want to get shot you learned not to get involved.
The area that had been off limits a few hours before was now flooded with marines rushing to the battle cruiser.Blake was surprised with the number of supplies they had managed to load in the cargo bay in such a short notice.Besides the cortez there were two missile frigates, the talleyrand and the dartanian.
He walked up the ramp to the cortez.The bay was full of marines, some with minor wounds.He leaned against a wall as the last group of ODSTs carried a casualty into the ship.
The double lock doors began to close, he could see elites shooting their plasma rifles at the titanium doors with no effect.
Realizing he was still holding the energy shield Blake let it slide from his hand, he dropped to the floor and before he knew it gave in to fatige.
The cortez glided out of the station's dock along with the frigates.The convenant ships wasted no time in opening fire but the station took most of the plasma.The slipstream fujikawa engines ruptured space opening a ligth portal.The human ships accelerated in and the convenat ships would never see them again.
Captain Wood had left them a little gift as a hydrogen bomb exploded in the station thermopolis consuming the two convenant cruisers.It was as if a piece of the sun had been plucked from its atmosphere and freed in space.
Three hours later Blake was woken up by his stomach.
"Here you go,"said Angel as she tossed an MRE to him.
"Have you been here all this time?" Blake asked.
"Yeah, you sleep like a rock," Angel laughed.
She smiled "hunger really is the best spice."
"Ain't that the truth,"Blake said smiling back.
"Im glad you're ok"Angel said.
"Im glad you're fine too Angel,"Blake responded
As a group of ODSTs walked by one trooper said,
"hey you're that guy who killed all those convenant with the suped up rpg, good job man"
Blake waved back, he was intrigued, helljumpers never congratulated anyone but themselves.
He felt victorious.Commander Black came by congratulating everyone.He gave a small speech on their so called victory.Blake and Angel mingled with marines the rest of the evening.
Later mps came by instructing everyone where their sleeping quarters resided.Everyone slowly vacated for their respective bedrooms.
"Well, good nigth Angel," said Blake as he left to his quarters.
He walked down the soldier filled hallways searching for a door with a number six .He found it and to no surprise it looked exactly like the other doors.He walked in the Quiet room , most soldiers were already asleep.There was a dark skinned marine reading his mail.He took a palmcom from the shelf next to the only bed left.Blake opened his site and proceded to read his mail.
There were three letters, one from FLEETCOM explaining the current situation, another one was from Dean Carter a friend he'd made during basic training.The last one was from home, he read it and fell asleep.
As the cortez, the talleyrand and the dartanian flew in slipspace half the crew slept.Blake Anderson and Angel Nagase would live to figth another day.
Here ends Angels war III stage.
