JerichoII August 25 2541
(Sgt. Lancer 6th Wart Hog regiment commander front gate)
Lancer started at the grunt as it charged its Fuel Rod Gun. He knew that Tom Joseph Lancer's time was up. He saw the grunts finger move for the trigger, he said one quick prayer and waited. He heard the boom of the gun, he suddenly felt hot, it felt like he was falling and then he heard a small putting noise, he heard the grunt scream as it died, then he heard some one out of the dark saying, "Sarge, Sarge, wake up!" and then all went blank. Sgt. Tom Joseph Lancer died on the gunner seat of his hog and was later awarded the medal of honour. Sgt. Lancers 2nd in command was, Sgt. Robert E. Diego. Robert and his new division were gonna have a rough day.
(PFC. Jason Juliet Company Front gate)
Jason sat in the trench with Hooper at his side. He had to restrain Singh from running out to grab the corporal. It was still to hot, the corporal had said that he was ok and could crawl back, but when he started crawling all he got in return was a hail of plasma fire. "That's it, I cant take this anymore. Give me covering fire im going to get him." Singh said. Jason looked into his eyes and didn't know how to say no, so all he did was nod and reload the m-60. He then held up 3 fingers and put down 1...2...3, and then fired like crazy and Singh jumped out of the hole. Singh made to the corporal and started saying stuff that Jason could not make out. He then hoisted the corporal onto his shoulders and made a break for the foxhole. Jason was so relived when Singh jumped back in carrying the corporal. He then put him down and started to patch him up when Kate, Delta companies second incomand came into the hole and told one of them to take the corporal over towards the base and that they were sending in a drop ship to pick up the wounded.
(Capt. Walker Central Command Post)
"I want you to send a squad of long sword bombers to begin bombing runs on the fields in front of Juliet. Make sure they don't bomb our own boys and is that drop ship in the air yet?" Walker told the command crew. For the first time in this battle he thought they could win because the covenant were beginning to retreat.
(Sgt. Orion Pelican 3314 Headed towards Juliet Company)
Orion sat at the controls of the Pelican thinking that this was gonna be a milk run. He had launched from hanger A, five minutes ago and were almost to the LZ. (Landing zone) As he approached the LZ over the trees he saw a purple artillery looking device charging. Under his breath he muttered, "Oh Shit" he then turned to his co-pilot and said, "Get the radio, tell HQ they have artillery!" His co-pilot rushed to his task. He picked up the radio and repeated what Orion had just said. Orion then heard the captain telling them to pull out. Orion quickly pulled the stick back but it was to late, the energy ball smacked into the back of Pelican 3314 causing it to go out of control. Orion grabbed the radio and opened up on Roy's channel, "Were hit were hit and we are going down on your position I repea..." and then the Pelican made contact with the ground.
(Sgt. Eversmit Delta Company 3rd Regiment front Gate)
Eversmit slammed in a fresh clip and continued firing at the elite until his shields were down and let James finish him off. He then turned to Roy who was on the radio with the Pelican Pilot. Eversmit could here the pilot screaming and then static filled the radio. "What happened?" Eversmit asked Roy. Roy then looked into the sky and Eversmit followed his gaze, when he looked up he saw the Pelicans engines on fire and it was screaming down towards the ground. Eversmit watched in horror as it passed over them and crashed a few meters in front of the marines. On impact the Pelican sent out a shock wave killing anything that was close to it. The covenant left a 6m diameter around the Pelican. Eversmit grabbed the radio and contacted Capt. Walker, "Sit we have a Pelican down!"
The Captain then replied, "Yes I know, *sigh* were sending in a task force to set up a perimeter around the Crash Sight until reinforcements arrive." Eversmit then dropped the radio and looked hopelessly towards the now smoking crash sight.
(Cruiser Jado)
The field commander and Prophet watched as the artillery took down the Pelican. "Did I not tell you I had something in mind." Replied the prophet. Avu then turned to the prophet smiling and walked out of the door.
