Garrison was sipping a cup of coffee when he casually strolled out of the coomand building. he had no idea how stealthy the dropships were. he dropped his mug at the sight of Ashwood and Huon being held by elites, who were intimidating as they were. when the elites raised their plasma rifles, Garrison raised his hands in the air. he made a signal with his hands, and Sierra squad popped up on the rooftops with their ARs, sniper rifles, battle rifles all pointed at the covies. Garrison said
'What do you want?"
Davaran dove out of the tanks turret and began to pull Shxzalor through the maelstrom of gunfire, blue flashes wizzed by davarans head, he never even flinched as he continued to pull the crippled elite to his tank, after trudging a mere ten feet which seemed like a mile they reached the tank where he was pulled inside the turret.. "You dont have to do any fighting at all, I was just saying some cover from stuff like that."
The huge console is seen infront of shxzalor, he'd be quick to notice the room abundance and smooth walls much like the inside of a covenant cruiser.. on the view screen a wraith tank spins around and fires its main gun, the Tiger simply strafes to the side and fires its primary weapon, The shot is clearly seen entering the cockpit area and exiting out the back of the tank... an eruption of blue fire follows the action, another wraith boosts to the side just as the other tiger fires its mac gun detonating it, one of the wraiths begins to back up just as the one infront of it explodes violently (three are dead, one is falling back) the Spectres unload their troops and attempts to make passes on the tanks to no avail, the tanks are too far away for them to menuever out of their sights, the first gun fires making a crack and a shockwave... the bright white projectile is barely seen as a mere half second from firing it was already entering the rear portion of a spectre, the turret mount and half a elite flys at incredible speeds the other direction... Three elites and a grunt with a fuel rod begins opening fire, the plasma rifle shots bounce effortlessly off the front armor plating, the front mounted 50cal opens up killing grunt after grunt and finally slaying some elites after continued fire until the man shouts "reloading!", the turret mounted gun then opens fire, more elites fall screaming as the second tiger makes it around from the side..... the three elites all look at once at the 20 foot away tank aimed right at them, the one elite towards the back ignites a plasma grenade but never has time to throw it as he is now fused with a crater where his feet was.. the last wraith fires a shot then opens up from its autoguns... one of the shots goes into the frot 50cal gunport killing the gunner, leaving only the maingunner and his turret50cal left. (the top gunner was killed earlier) the turret swings around and by some stroke of luck the shots angle was at such a angle that it bouced off the front armor, davarans tiger however fires a shot that goes right beniet the cockpit of the wraith, the elite inside realizing this opens the hatch and flees to a spectre which takes off and flees the field. The tanks reach the compound a few minutes later.
Garrison put his hands down. He nodded to 2 marines behind him. they ran up and escorted Ashwood and Huon away from the Elites. Garrison gave a passionate hug to HAley, mumbling something to her. he turned back to the elites. he gave a look of disbelief. he snapped his fingers and all the marines on the rooftops locked and loaded their guns, showing the elites they meant buisiness. Garrison crossed his arms and said
"Why should i beilive you?"
Huon was confused as a little while ago he was captive and now he's......safe?Huon ran up to Garrison
"Sir im sry about any trouble.These elites are strange and i dont trust them..."
Huon pulled out a pistol and aimed it at one of the grunts and he kept it locked kon the target.The grunt showed a few seconds of fear then closed his eyes in anger and pulled the trigger ever so slightly. "Your call sir" he kept the pistol locked on his target...
Garrison's eyebrows shot up. hey nodded to the marines. they put down their weapons. Garrison Walked up to the Elite and extended his hand.
"Well, let's call a temporary truce to see why we should join forces. Come in."
As Garrison lead the lead elite into his office, and the Covies and Marines got used to each other, Garrison said
"You like Coffee?"
"Coff-eee?"
The elite dismissed the subject on the coffee, "I dont advise bothering the grunts, unlike their bretheren they are highly trained and show little fear, your lival to get shot." He turned to their leader, "We're fighting for you because its wrong to fight against you. Our leader will explain when he comes."
A few momets after the tank battle and the handshake by the elites and marines the two tanks pull up, Davaran and the crews depart and the crews begin to rearm the two remaining tanks, davaran assists the Elite leader Shxzalor up into the top where the dropship and marines are, they burst into the so called office.. shxzalor is quite ok , only a minor burn, his shoulder plate though is toast.
The elite looked down at Huon, moved his hand as if to shove him back into the wall, but stopped and opend his mouth to speak when...
Ten took two steps forward, grabbed Huon by the shoulder and spun him into the wall, "This man is very important to us right now and I'll thank you for not trying to get him to kill you because I know he will and if its your own dumb fault we wont do anything about it." Someone put a hand on his shoulder, "B- Ten, thats not necessary, they dont know me, and I can see this from their point of view. If we wanted to be heros, we would have killed you already. There is no honor in lying to someone and pretending to be their ally, then killing them later."
"Because we dont want to you die out. This war is a mistake, one we are to proud to back out of. We are killing you, reveling in out victories, when in fact it is out technology that gives us victory, here on the ground, its a more even fight. Your not our enemies, at least you shouldn'y be." Shxzalor had turned away from Briggs when he said this.
