(Final Seraphim, sorry for the conflict with Daravan in Garrison's Pelican. I didn't read through well enough the first time. His bird, Foespear, is the last one, the one Nuron told to wait, so my folks had to be on that one, and I wasn't thinking to include your folks there. I thought of mine as a bit more of a tense situation, not permitting small talk.)
(sorry about not posting for a while.)
Garrison looked back and saw his birds had been filled up. He pushed the throttle to the top and the pelican blasted into the sky with the other 2. he yelled back to the passengers
"Sot tight, this is gonna get bumpy!"
The after burners kicked in, and the pelican was going much faster now. One of his wingmen said on the radio
--Sir, we got hostile blips on our radar, their banshees, lots of them, and coming in fast, what do we do?--
--We'll try to make it back to the ship. just keep pushing it--
Soon the banshees appeared, and even sooner the plasma fire was grazing the 'cans. The co-pilot fired the 50 cal', and shot down 3 banshees, before a stray plasma shot hit the belly of the pelican, launching him out of the back, sending him to his grave. Garrison thought quickly, knowing that there would be a time for greiving. He yelled to the passengers.
"Someone get on that gun!!!"
OOC: i just got the game Rome: total war today, so i wont be posting that much. LF, feel free to take control over Garrison till i return. and also, my area is getting at least a foot of snow, so i might lose power. so keep that in mind if im MIA 😄
(OK, sorry for my imitation of Equus Hemionus there. The sarcasm comes off your screen with Windex.
Damn, you all type faster than I do. Supatroopa, are we leaving the Major?
I guess this is a "disregard if necessary" to try and reconcile my post with Final Seraphim's.)
After Nuron came aboard, the Covenant fire had died down a bit. Yi fired a salvo from her battle rifle, dropping a Jackal within arm's reach of the Pelican, and then all was quiet. "Ammo." she said, and turned back to Brute. "Huh?" he asked, looking around and coming back to Earth (or rather, to Diagona). Yi grabbed his belt with one hand, and quickly opened the pouches which held his spare battle rifle clips, taking all but one of them. She then turned around and continued to scan for enemies.
"Hey! What's that Elite doing here? Get clear!" Mike yelled, leveling his weapons, and then fell on his side clutching his groin. Sgt. Jones shook his head. "Yi, that's not nice. The friendly Elite came aboard when the white-haired guy came on. You must not have noticed him. Pay more attention to what's going on around you, and to your motion tracker. He registers yellow, not red." Yi responded by firing at an approaching Grunt. The battle was continuing.

well thats good how bout editing it genius the elites are holy people there whole entire mission is to do a religious thing perhaps why they never cuss as well i dont think there is a hood east side west side click fight as a day to day thing where elites come from. and this game mainly consists of guys who cares the amount of females they would die first most likely anyways because males have better hand eye corridination making them better at firing its a scientific fact ok
[] Woah, Woah, Woah... You're right about how we shouldn't care about females in this game. A guns a gun and a soldiers a soldier. There were no females in the Halo1 game(minus cortana) And it really makes no difference whether or not a character has breasts or not! 😠 They would certainly not die first... I think you should get your priorities straightened out because hand eye coordination has absolutely NOTHING to do with your sex. If a female had no hand eye coordination she wouldn't be in the military in the first place. **** science! Unless Bill Ni told you that it's a total loud of Horse sh1t. Im living proof a female can do anything she wants twice as good as any male out there. If anyone thinks a man is better than a woman in any aspect then they can come talk to me... And we shall see about that 😠
Anywho... Sorry for the rant. Back to the RP ^_^ []
The spartan found the elites troubles to be of some amusement. She stood back up and swung around her trusty S2 AM sniper rifle as she stepped up to the tail of the pelican. She saw where the shot had originated from: A Jackal with a yellow shield propped up in front of him. He fired repeatedly and his last shot bounced of the shoulder plate on her armor. As he waited for his weapon to charge Raevynn took less than a second to carefully aim at the small opening in the shield where the jackals hand was exposed. Moments later her finger pressed the trigger back and the shot rang out loud inside the confines of the pelican. Outside the jackals chest was blown apart and his innards splattered against the inside of his useless shield.
(I think we're in the "fog of war" mode at this point.
SilentWolf, I didn't change Yi only because I thought we could use some women, I thought it would be a better fit after thinking about it. I talked to Liquid about it, too, and he thought it was a good idea. Yi is "living" proof that women can do things better than most men, modeled a little after a woman I respect very, very much. I hope I'm not being a male chauvenist, even thinking about gender. But the pilots in Halo 1 are largely female, or at least sound like it. Both the pilot on Echo-419 and the pilot of the escape pod that the MC rides down to the Halo. It just seemed unrealistic, given that, and the handful of female Marines in Halo 2. I apologize if I've offended you.
Ah, well, sorry, Ten. The show must go on, etc. Been nice knowing you. . .)
BEFORE THE PELICANS TAKE OFF
The black Spec-Ops Elite came crashing over the table, supplies and other objects clattered to the floor, along with the alien corpse, landing with a dull thud in a bloody heap. Ten signaled the Pelican, but only Nuron’s enhanced gear picked it up through the rock. “This is Spartan Zero-One-Zero, you don’t have enough time to wait for me and then take off. Once this thing blows if your caught in the blast you’ll lose control and drop. Take off now.”
Back in the Pelican Nuron looked at the others, he glanced at the floor before speaking. “We need to take off. This station is going to super nova and take out everything here. Garrison, take us out.” He said, his voice unusually grim.
”I can’t leave a brother behind like that.” Spartan 116’s voice came from behind him.
Nuron turned around, “I don’t want to leave him behind either, any more than you do.” He said, “But we can’t do anything for him. You know what he’d expect.” Nuron stopped, and turned away. “What he’d want us to do.” He took in a deep breath, “Ten is a hard man to kill. He’s been like that since he was a kid. Take us up Garrison.” Nuron knew it was little consolation, there was no way Ten could survive the stations blast.
AFTER THE PELICANS TAKE OFF
Inside the facility, Ten picked up Nuron’s old combat knife and hurled it at the enemy Elite with all his might and skill. It sliced through the air and thudded into the Elite’s face, who’s shields had been drained. He’d already wasted time, and already he could feel the air draining towards the bottom of the facility, the Black Fusion core was generating a massive gravitational flux as it went critical.
Ten dashed for the Elevator, remembered it wasn’t in this shaft, but jumped anyway. His blades raked a line down the wall, sparking as he fell. He landed on the debris of the elevator on the bottom, and then climbed up onto the bottom floor and ran to the other elevator, and made his way back down to Zero’s body. More time wasted. He knelt down beside her and pulled a chip out of her helmet, her memories, all filed away. Tucking it away, he made the journey back up top, the sealed rooms now vacuums as the air was being sucked into the core.
Ten ran out of the base and his visor damped as the sun washed over him. The Pelicans were long gone by now, he could barely track the small specks above the cloud line. If they came back now they would be caught in the blast. Just then he heard the sound of a Ghost, the recon for the main Covenant army was here. He ran to the nearest tree and hauled himself up quickly and waited.
The Covenant craft sped along at a decent pace, that was until a black blur landed on the hood denting it, and nearly tipping it over. The driver let out a startled warble before he was ripped of his seat and his spine was snapped while he was hurled into a tree. Ten boosted the ghost, moving at full speed. Behind him he saw two other Ghosts chasing him, and plasma bolts shot by.
He’d only been driving for less than a minute, leaving the facility far behind. The ground by the facility started to implode slowly, and the entrance bent and twisted out of shape, then everything turned into a blazing white light, easily seen from space, and the shockwave leveled the trees, taking out the bulk of the Covenant force.
The ground was shaking violently and Ten wrestled with the controls. Behind him he could feel the heat on his back, and knew the light was pure white, as bright as a star behind him from the detonation. The shaking caused him to bit a rock, his Ghost sparked and flipped, throwing him off into a tree at the edge of another small forest. The Ghost, still running yet slowing down, bounced sparked and dented it’s way into what looked like a rock slide, as there was a cliff to his far left, and it disappeared behind the rocks before finally flipping onto it’s back and stopping.
Ten ,disoriented, got to his feet and kept running, he was surprisingly fast for his size, then again he was a Spartan, in fact he was running over 30mph, and slowly gaining speed. Behind him, the ghost that was farthest back was slowly lifted into the air by the shock wave, the pilot thrown off and hurled into the air, before the forces of the shockwave killed him. The ghost was consumed by an inferno, being ripped apart and finally twisted and melted into slag.
The second ghost was also lifted into the air, but the shockwave of the inferno stopped, so it did not meet the same fate, though even though they weren’t in it, the pilot of the ghost was cooked, his limp form was hurled into a rock and it literally splattered over the entire rock face. The ghost was hurled ahead end over end.
Ten had kept running, and found his way behind a very large boulder, easily two to three stories high. He didn’t flinch as the ghost was hurled into a tree beside him, the machine crumpled, debris and blue flame flying everywhere before it exploded. Not before the tree, nearly snapped from the impact, started to topple. The top half slowly moving sideways as the coming shockwave pushed it.
Even though he was against the massive rock, Ten was hurled forward when the shockwave met. He flew forward, smashing against a tree. His visor smashed into the trunk of the tree, and the whole thing cobwebbed. This particular tree didn’t topple because of the massive boulders cover, however most of the trees around him were blown over. Ten was knocked unconscious. Not to long after, the shock wave receded, and Ten was bounced along some, but not much. He was lucky he was so small compared to his weight of almost 3 tonnes. That, and his lucky boulder are what kept him from behind crushed.
(Huon, here's your quick recap: the Marines were evac'd, having been notified of it a few minutes before. Your guy would be on the Pelicans, headed up. The Razor's Kiss, the ship the Pelicans came from, has been damaged--both weapons and the main communications array is down, so they're running on the backup commo, which has less range. The remaining Covenant ship has also been disabled, meaning the engines are down, just like the Iron Fist. Razor's Kiss sent some Pelicans with Marines to board the Covenant ship and get the Iron Fist's AI, Flores, back. Liquid hasn't yet said whether Our Heroes will be headed to the Razor's Kiss, to the Covenant ship, or elsewhere, though. . .
And BTW, if anyone feels like interacting with my characters, feel free to have them "happen" to be near you, and do something very minor, like hand you ammo or kill an enemy. I'll continue their actions from there)
Huon sat down after being up for a bit and swiped his now sweaty forehead with a chared piece of the cloth underbelly of his armor.He leaned back and put the battle rifle by his side and then he was starting to blink stupidly and was ready for sleep.He knew of the banshees that were shooting at the craft but right now he was tired after the long battle.He took a smasll sip of water from his nearly empty canteen and was suddenly thrown to the side as the pelican switched its course elsewhere.He got up and held on while the pelican swerved to escape the plasma shots from the banshee.He hoped they werent going to die...
[]lol no one really notices the giant explosion... interesting[]
The spartan had been standing the entire time, holding onto a support beam as she watched out the back of the pelican at the massive explosion below. Memories from Reach suddenly flashed in her mind and she was forced to take a step back and sit down. There was no way the other spartan could have possibly survived that blast. She was now alone again. The feeling of being alienated started to return as she subtly glanced around at the marines in the pelican with her. Raevynn tried hard to suppress her emotions that had started to stir up again, she pushed them to the back of her mind and stared at the deck of the pelican.
Davaran turns in amazement after the first flash of white, and the dead silent first few moments of the blast. At that point the shockwave hit, along with the incredible unrecignizable thunderous sound of the explosion. "What the hell was that?!" he says as he stares out the back at the massive (crater or cloud, no clue if your reactor would leave a large cloud or not.) He sees everyone else obvious amazement.... "Ok, so.... now that.. that is done, where are we heading?" he turns his head to most of the marines sitting on his side, gazing at each. He then turns to the female "Yi" who is nearby, and seeing the other marines around her.. "You guys weren't here with us. Do you by chance know where we are going?"
(Oh and silent, before you get all into the sexist bullshit, dont say crap like you can do anything two times better than any man.... Because there are men out there that can lift more, men out there that are computer techs... mechanics for aircraft. you got people in congress, male and female, but I garauntee they can do a hell of alot better job than you.. I'm not trying to get this going again, but as you took offense to his comment, I took offense to yours..)
