The warthog zoomed at Litter. It looked like it hit him, but after the warthog passed, I saw Litter. He had rolled to the side!

The warthog didn't have time to turn when the driver seat blew up. The driver was killed, but the gunner was thrown off and the passenger was pushed out, with his right foot and left leg blown off.

The next rocket was ready, and my gun was aimed at them. One of them threw a plasma grenade at my tank. I squeezed the trigger, then jumped out of the tank. The marine on my tank jumped off.

The blue marines were killed. My tank exploded. I walked away from the explosion slowly to make myself look cool.

Fang drove up. "Need a lift?" he asked all cheery.

"Maybe," I replied. I hopped in the warthog. "Go help that injured marine over there." I pointed to the marine with the broken arm.

"Fang, take me to that warthog over there" I pointed to an intact warthog. Fang drove me and Killys over there.

I jumped out and flipped the warthog over. I hopped into the driver's seat. "Fang," I said over the COM. "Pick up that injured marine."

I drove over to the uninjured private. He hopped into the passenger seat. Next, I drove to Litter, who manned the gun. "Marl," Fang said over the COM. "The Blues are headed into the cave to Red Base."

"Rodger." I switched my COM over to Red Base's frequency. "The Blues are comming. Be careful, eyes open."
I switched back to the SPARTAN's frequency. "Head back to Red Base."

We drove towards Red base. I turned on the ice, sliding. God I hate the ice, I thought. When I finally got off the ice I heard gun shots. The marines were under fire already.

I strived to go faster. I hate waiting. Fang drove ahead of me. I was slowing down. I checked the fuel gage. Empty.

I hopped out. "Get out men!" I shouted to everyone else in the warthog. "We're out of gas. We'll have to go by foot." Litter jumped out, then the marine, followed by an explosion by Red Base.

We ran as fast as we could. I ran ahead, followed by Litter, and the marine was in the back. I got out my pistol and flicked the safety off.

I pointed to Litter, then to the circle of land to the left. Next, I pointed to the marine, then the battle. They both nodded. and took their path.

I moved out with the marine, slowing down to stay at his speed. Five Blue marines ran out of the hole. Fang's warthog was destroyed, and Killys was dead. Four Red Marines were on the ground, dead. Two were snipers. Two marines were on the cliff to my right, and two were in the base. Trigger was on his way.

I readied my pistol. "Fire," I tolded the marine. I aimed my pistol at a marine's head and fired.

Fang popped up from behind the destroyed warthog. He threw a grenade in the middle of the group. They jumped away, exposing their unshielded sides. Fang opened fire on the marines, killing one.

The wounded Red marine poked his head up, then shot at one with his pistol. Two shots and the Blue marine was dead.

The two remaining Blue marines layed at my feet. One was unconsious. The other looked up. He looked around. He aimed his rifle at the wounded Red marine. Before I could react, a shot was fired. It was from behind me. The Blue marine infront of me got hit in the side, killing him.

I turned around. It was that one Red marine that was in the warthog with me. "Good shot," I said. I chuckled slightly.

"Thank you sir, may I have another, sir?" I laughed again.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Private Sean Hulithe."

"Well, Private Hulithe, when I get back to HQ, I'm going to immediatly recommend you for a promotion."

"Thank you, sir."

Two marines came out of Red Base, two on the cliff above jumped down, and Trigger and Litter came around the corner of the circle of land. "What did we miss?" Trigger asked.

Fang walked up with the injured marines and the ones from inside Red Base. "I'd say everything."

"Trigger, Litter, Fang, and I are going to check out Blue Base," I said. "The rest of you, take this Blue piece of crap and await further orders. And rest and junk."

Trigger was reading the rocket launcher."Hehe. Hold Like This. Instead of calling it the SPNKr, can we call it the Spanker?"

"No," Fang answered before I could open my mouth. "And be serious, you idiot."
