Shxzalor was the last in the building, he checked every room he could to make sure everyone was outside, then started to leave when he realized he forgot his sword, the Arbiter sword. He spun, running back into the nearest room, which his sword was in, and grabbed the weapon, which flashed to life in his hands. He half ran, half cut his way through the damaged wall, and was running from the structure when his shields flared and he felt heat on his back, and there was a deafening boom. Shxzalor was thrown from the ground, and he smacked into a wall on the far side of the small one lane street, his shields deactivated and he grunted, collapsing to the ground uncocious. Behind him, the building was in the middle of being blown apart.
Huon heard a defeaning explosion and then he broke off from the ODST's and ran near the esplosion.But he knew the covenaqnt would come.So he went into a alley and broke into what seemed like a convienant store.There wasnt much as the roof caved in when the covenant started the attack on the colony.But a small part of the desk area was intact so he ducked there and looked out into the street.He then got up after it was safe and moved 2 of the shelves over and then he got some carts and made a large barricade.He found a bag of chips which tasted very good.So then he leaned on his barricade and slowly ate the chips....
((I like that now we cant use our defensive position.But u seemed to have forgotten the 27 plasma grenades in the 2nd floor.....Which the box was near a window....Maybe a larger explosion thart lights up some cars and buildings to reduce our cover?))
Rain holstered his Assault rifle, and brought forth his shotgun. Checking that it was loaded, he proceeded to follow Ten. Who was leading the group of helljumpers towards the Covenant on the other side of town. The group of helljumpers were moving in formation towards the base with Smoke and Rain Covering the rear of the group, to avoid any ambushes.
The group was moving along a wasteland of street, with Ten moving on the right side of the street and the Lieutenant on the left, The street close to thirty yards across, had to be navigated slowly with Ten and the Lieutenant moving moving along almost 25 yards ahead of the main helljumper group with Smoke and Rain following about the same distance behind. Making it nessary for Rain and Smoke, who were about 60 or 70 yards behind the Lieutenant, to use the coms to relay any info to the Lieutenant. "Stealth is key" the Lieutenant spoke into the com to the whole group, Scanning the roof tops for more covenant snipers "The last thing that we want is another ambush". No sooner had he finished speaking, than there was a large explosion.
"Cover formation" Rain heard himself yell as if it was the most natural thing he could do. The group knelt in cover formation and looked in the direction of the explosion. Rain knew instantly what had happened. It would seem that the Lieutenant's sniper scouting had been his undoing, as he had failed to see the plasma grenade trap, set by the covenant.
For the Lieutenant death was instant, but such is war Rain felt the thoughts run through his mind.
Smoke eyed the Spartans suspicously, Then started to follow Ten wondering how many of his fellow helljumpers would survive this upcoming battle. making sure all his weapons were fully loaded, He backed away until he was 30 yards away from the main group along to avoid ambushes scanning the environment, Smoke heard the lieutenant say something across the com but he wasn't paying attention. After he finished talking, an explosion shook the ground sending the lieutenant flying into a wall, dead. Crouching next to the wall, he didn't see any covenant and asked "What happened!?".
In the aftermath of the explosion, davaran slowly lifts up, pushing himself with one arm... slowly looking upwards, he sees two marines, he thinks are most likely dead.... he slowly raises up, holding his bleeding left arm with his right... slowly he walks... his back hurts, along with his legs... rubble lays all about with no sign of hope he looks to an elite, who lays on his side... "Keroth?" he mutters.. "You.. ok?" he drops to his knees beside keroth.. "Keroth answer me!" he slowly pushes on the elites shoulder with his hand.. "keroth..."
(Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. i'm guessing that battle has broken out)
Judicator, and elite, and about three Jackals were moving slowly up the street. Eyeing a doorway, Judicator nodded towards it, the others got the message and they ran into the door. Judicator walked up the stairs first making sure the building was clear. He reached the top floor and called back down to the Covenant Soldiers below him, "It's all clear brothers!" The Jackals, and Elite ran up to the top floor. Two of the Jackals had beam rifles, the last one had only a plasma pistol. Judicator scanned the streets with his eye, the area looked clear, but... they were fighting Demons (Spartans) after all. Grasping his carbine tight he leaned back against a wall, and thought about what is next move should be.
Huon looked up from the barricade and saw a elite in ornate armor along with the standard covenant ground troops.He readied his rifle and turned the safety off.Then he took the aim of the elite and lightly pressed on the trigger.Then the group passed the building and huon turned on the safety and then he decided to try and find the ODST group.He got out from a side door making he was careful not to be seen or heard by a grunt across the street.The grunts were cowards and they would run and report this.But he'd say huon was a demon and not a normal marine.Grunts are like that....But anyways huon got into the alleyway and walked down it.There were some rubble piles and a dead dog along with a catwalk that had fallen to the ground due to a plasma grenade striking the holder.Huon traversed through the tangled metal getting several scratches and then he finally got out of it and proceeded down the street.
Nuron and the grunts were behind the building now gone to rubble. "Well, guess that's the end of our comfortable stay." Nuron said as he looked to the ever prepared covenant allies, he went to the nearest tree that was tall enough to oversee the outpost, which wouldn't be much now that the garage was put down to ground zero. "Say you guys do your job while I do mine, are we clear?" he said to the grunts below, they confirmed with Nuron and got read to fire at any hostiles.
Nuron setup his Sniper Rifle on the branch and waited. Nuron turned on his comm "Who needs an extra gun?"
((Avenger, your a PFC, one of the Corporals would been the ones to yell orders. And PFC means Private First Class.))
As soon as the plasma grenade trap went off, Ten saw the distortion in the explosion. He turned and charged, the Lieutenants body bouncing off his metal clad chest. Running through the explosion which still had not faded both plasma rifles he was holding flashed to life, bombarding the Elite that was under an active Camo. The Elite's shields flashed out, and Ten swung a broad arc, connecting at the alien's throat. Blood spurted from the Elite's mandibles, and it staggered backwards trying to breath. Ten finished it off with a few shots to the face. His own shields were flaring, but they stopped a second later.
Ten turned, looking at the expanding explosion in the sky. What was once their desitnation was now an explosion. He radioed over the comm, relaying insctructions. "This is Major Ten, all UNSC forces regroup at this location." He pinged a tracking point on everyone's HUD that was a few hundred yards from the town, in the trees. "The initial fall back point has been destroyed, we need to regroup at a new position, move to the area marked on your HUD, once we are all there, we will move out of the town, there are too many spots for an ambush, and no locations that would be really effective to fall back to. There was a secret research and military center at this location." He pinged a second location in a different color. "Once we regroup we will move there, 116 will run ahead, she's clocked at over 50mph, and act as our vanguard. Understood?" Ten stopped his transmission and turned back to the ODST, "At least one of you know's what's going on." He looked at Rain, "PFC, you and me have point. Whoever is normally your rear point, you have the same job. Let's move, we have over a hundred Covenant troops coming after us, and if we don't make it to that research center, we are all going to die." He walked past the ODST and took the lead, moving back the way they'd come. Out of the corner of his eye he saw 116 jump off the building she was on and run ahead as their scout. He opened his comm, "Be careful Spartan, your too valuable to lose. Just yey at any rate."
Davaran, sits there... hearing radio chatter over the dead marines helmet earpiece... he looks at it and keroth, in a paniced frenzy and anger from the sight of opposing forces converging, he lifts keroth and starts to slowly walk, the elite is heavy on his shoulders but davarans spirit shines through, step after step he takes... finally after turning a corner he feels movement.. he slowly lays down the elite as he wakes.. "Davaran, that was a noble thing to do.." davaran looks around.. "No time for this keroth, we are the furthest away from the group, we gotta find shxzalor and get the hell outta here.." keroth looks at him.. "to where.. we cannot run forever.." davaran smirks.. "There are some.. friends nearby.. big friends.."
((I will post to keep Darth Extecute's character in game.))
Shxzalor was almost unconcious, unable to move. He felt strong arms grab him, and then he was being carried. Out of his swimming vision he saw that it was Lord Tekka. Who run around the corner, stopping when he saw Davaran and Keroth. "Hello human." He said with distain, he eyed Keroth, and nodded slowly. "Brother."
((Oh, btw, no way could a human carry an elite and the armor, which included a machine gun implacement and a rocket launcher,with I am assuming ammo. ^_^ I have a picture in my head of a person with a pile of stuff the size of a car getting squished when he tries to carry it.))
((Then we'll still need to give Keroth some type of armor, we'll find something at the research station or something. Mounted emplacement type thing on one arm, RPG on the other. Visor type HUD thing, hydrolic system for strength. Infared scanners and stuff. Your average...mech..thing...sorta...exo-skeleton. *nods*))
Huon darted from building to building for 30 minutes before he came to the edge of town.There had been a wall of sorts as a large peice of concrete had fallen.Looked blacked.Maybe a wraith took it out but huon didnt try to think very much on the past.He ran into a clump of bushes and a grunt walked pass him.Huon got out his knife and struck the grutn in the back of the head and relieved the midget soldier of his weapons and put in into the log and brought the log to a memorable position by a stream and then marked it by marking the tree with the knife.Then he proceeded to the marker point and encountered some grunts lost and looking around.He foudn 2 other pistols and placed those 2 in a tree which had a large hole. and marked the tree with a H for huon.Also it might fool the stupid covenant thinking it was some sort of code used in human tactics.Since during this war the tactics dramatically evolved and sometimes even devolved wityh some tactics.Like the use of metal as armor.In 2000 there were bulletproof vests.But now are more resistant and light material.Since a plasma pistol could take out the armor from 500 years ago......Anyways huon was near the point and he dropped down hsi 2 plasma rifles,battle rifle and 4 plasma pistols.He had to fill his pack with the pistols and he stuck a plasma rifle to his waist and he held his rifle up.He dropped the plasma rifles near a large rock and put the pack with the pistols nearby.Then he got some logs and fallen branches and made a light barricade which was pretty weak but it was a good concealed point.....Until he fired a shot.But nonetheless it was ok.
