[]Hey now! Watch the OOC, boys -__-[]
Raevynn was first to trudge into one of the empty pelicans. She was shortly followed by the rest of the group that was riding in this particular bird. The noise of their equipment as well as light armor bumping against various objects caused her adrenaline to start flowing.
The squad leader took a seat near the ramp of the pelican once all the other's had loaded up. She looked over each and every one of their eager faces and tried to force a smile. This was the most important day of their lives so far. Mixed emotions welled up inside of her like an angry sea.
Raevynn watched as one of the Spartans fiddled with his side arm before placing it back in his holster. It was at that moment something really hit her. Today was the first day they would be using live rounds. They had been training with weapons since the beginning, but today was different. Today the targets would shoot right back.
[]GAH Im out of time, I gotta get ready for a meeting with one of my teachers >_< If someone would be so kind as to move the RP along... Just post the pelicans taking off and landing inside the Choragus. Once the spartans unload they just sit and wait for the rebels to arrive. 🙂 []
[On it Ma'am!]
*Mendez's voice over the intercom sounded out the "OK" for the Pelicans to take off. The ramps began to close up slowly, trapping the Spartans inside the "Belly of the Beast". The Pelicans then took off and made their way over to the Choragus. Though he never showed it, Parker was scared as hell.
The Pelicans arrived at their destination and landed inside the Choragus. Then the voices of the pilots sounded in each Pelican, saying* "Alright Spartans, this is it. Just a little advice before heading out there.
1.STAY ALIVE!-Shoot at ANY enemy target, and even your own teammates is necessary.
2.STAY HIDDEN!-Keep hidden if you have the chance and try not to give away your position.
3.Good Luck!"
*The Spartans unloaded and watched as the Pelicans took off again. One of the Spartans turned to Parker* "What do we do now sir?" *Parker replied swiftly* "Now...We wait." *He turned toward his fellow Spartans and grinned* "We sit here and wait for our first objective from Mendez, then we move out!"
Jacob stood next to Raevynn to give him his orders. After he is given his location he goes and waits.
He whispers a prayer under his breath.
"Lord give strength of eye and steady of hand. Give me the will to do what I must to save my friends and cleanse those that I send so you may recieve them into your arms. Thank you Lord amen"
With that Jacob peers just ast his scope ready for the first to show.
Raevynn thundered down the pelicans ramp, the sound of her team behind her gave her more than enough confidence.
The squad leader turned to watch the pelican make it's way back into the dark void of space, leaving the Spartans with their first real mission. The directions were simple, but it was usually the simplest of tasks that ended up being the most unpredictable.
Raevynn looked over the group before speaking. "Parker, take your squad through the ships upper deck. There should be a loading bay according to our maps. If anything tries to board the ship through either of these docks, we'll be ready for them."
That being said she turned to face Jacob. To her surprise, he had also been given a sniper rifle. This would mean he would have to be as far away from her as possible.
"Jacob, you take the far end of the dock, just behind those crates. Hide yourself and don't fire unless you're sure you've got the shot."
*Parker nodded to Raevyyn and yelled* SPARTANS! YOU HEARD THE LADY, MOVE OUT! *They all nodded and yelled in formation* Yes, sir! *They all ran through the door, Parker being the last one. Before he ran in, he turned to Raevynn* Good luck. Radio me if you need any help. *He then followed his team down the hall, the sound of equipment jumbling together and footsteps were the only noises in the crome-like hall. Then they entered a room where the lights had burnt out. Turning on the flashlights on their rifles, they walked through the room and lined up as Parker walked down the line slowly. He looked around, then signalled them to load into the elevator shaft.
Once they were all in and the door shut, their flashlights turned off and one of the Spartans pressed some buttons on the console, and the elevator began going up. Once they reached the middle floor, they all piled out and followed the maps on their HUD's, running down some halls before they reached another docking bay. Parker walked in and looked around. Nothing unusual yet. Then he saw something in the far corner that caught his eye.
It was a Covenant Phantom! They must've gotten in while they were busy going up the elevator. He turned on his radio and murmured into it* Raevynn, we got company, watch out, some of them probably took another elevator down to open another docking bay to let more ships in. Parker, out. *He raised his rifle and walked through the room, looking around for any sign of movement.*
[]I was waiting for ichi to post, but I guess he's a little busy...[]
Before Raevynn could address the rest of the group, an ear splitting alarm sounded in the docking bay. The light's dimmed and were replaced with a bright red strobe.
"The rest of you split up into your groups and spread out!" She ordered before turning and dashing to the far end of the docking bay where she spotted a ladder heading up to a maintenance access way.
"Raevynn, we got company, watch out, some of them probably took another elevator down to open another docking bay to let more ships in. Parker, out." The transmission echoed in her ear piece as she made her way to the top of the ladder. Hopefully Parker and the other Spartans could handle things at the other bay.
Raevynn crawled into the cramped access way, and with difficulty turned to face the chaos unfolding below her.
The remaining maintenance workers scrambled franticly about the deck as a sleek metallic ship made it's entrance. This ship obviously did not belong to the UNSC. The first thing Raevynn noticed was the serpent-like creature painted along the length of it's smooth shape.
Raevynn quickly fumbled about to retrieve the bulky sniper rifle that was slung over her shoulder. What ever Parker was facing, she was sure this must have been it.
*Once the alarm sounded, hundreds of Grunts and Elites bounded from their hiding places and ambushed Parker and his squad. Fire broke out among the ranks, as Grunts toppled backwards and blood was spilled all around. One of the Elites threw a grenade over the boxes that the squad used as a shield, and screams of "HIT THE DECK!" and "YIKES!" broke out. The grenade exploded, sending two Spartans flying, killing them on impact. The Covenant numbers broke down into a small score, until one Elite grabbed some sort of COM and screamed into it with his alien tongue just before he was assassinated by a Spartan. Suddenly, a strange looking ship came into view and landed inside. Another score of Elites charged out of it and turned on Energy Swords. As Parker turned to address the Spartans setting up artillery, one jumped over a box and took him by surprise. As Parker turned to see what it was, the Energy Sword slashed his right arm clean off his body. He screamed in pain over COM and dropped his rifle, grabbing his pistol and blowing the Elite's head to hell. He continued to do the same until the artillery was up and running, taking out the remaining Elites and Grunts. Then a medic came over and grabbed Parker's severed arm and rifle, putting the arm in a cooler full of ice and addressing the other Spartans to split up and defend the station. Meanwhile, the medics helped Parker to an elevator shaft and get him down to Raevynn, as she would know what to do.*
Jacob was watching just past his scope as the doors were opening to where the enemy was coming from. The hatches opened and Alein come out in hordes. First these little puny Grunt things followed by much larger and vicious looking ones.
The other Spartans opened fire laying waste to their front lines. The aliens reterned fire of course but the were in the open for now and were being gunned down. Just then more hatches open and another wave comes out.
Lord I see today is the day you've decided to test us greatest.
With that Jacob looks into his Scope. He waits he only has four shots loaded in at once so he has to hold his trigger finger. The others would fire and take out the bulk and it was his job to pick off an stragglers or dangerous ones.
Just then the first group of big Aliens duck and five other ones jump out carrying Energy Swords. Two are plowed over by Gunfire but the other three managed to get really close.
Jacob came into action. One was about to come down on a Spartan. He squeezes the trigger. A bullet rips through the air straight into its Skull downing it no problem.
He moves the scope two inched to the right. The other one had turned its head to look at its companion. That all Jacob needed. He never even had a chance. The final one doesn't even hesitate h quickly jumps behind some boxes before Jacob can get him. Its caught though loosing its momentum and surprise it can't go anywhere.
Jacob quickly looks back to the main force and for ow the front line is holding.
[] Keep in mind this is the first time us youngins have seen aliens!!!! lol Oh and just so you guys know, the ship I wrote about was a rebel ship. Look's like we're fighting rebels and covies[]
Raevynn watched wide eyed at the battle that had suddenly unfolded before her. She stayed in transe for nearly three seconds when she finally realized she had a job to do. By now a huge bald man had emerged from the ship, guns blazing. The man was shooting at the aliens as well as her squad.
Raevynn hastily started setting up the Sniper's tripod when a blood soaked parker along with two others trudged onto the battle feild. Parker was heavily wounded, and she knew he was probably a very accurate reflection of the rest of his squad.
Without another thought, Raevynn forced the large pieces of her Rifle back together and brandished her side arm. With some effort she managed to turn around and make her way down the ladder. Only two steps were taken before bullets pinged off the wall at her side.
Raevynn didn't think, she simply let go of the ladder and fell towards the ground below. At the last minute she tucked and landed in a roll. Forcing herself to spring back to her feet she sprinted to Parkers position. She wasn't expected what she saw when she got closer.
"What happend to your arm!?" She yelled, pulling him through the doors he had came through. She could barely keep her eyes off the injury, but Raevynn knew it was the least of their worries "We're losing this battle. We have to reassemble the Spartans."
Originally posted by SilentWolf*He winced in pain and nodded* I sent them off in a split group..*A second later a voice came over Parker's COM.* Sir, we've lost contact with two groups, and we're under attack by what seems to be Covenant and Humans..The Humans have turned on us sir, they must be rebels. *He lifted his good arm up and answered back* Get everyone else and bring them down to my position. Regroup down here and signal for evac..

*Suddenly bullets pounded off the walls behind him. He grabbed his pistol, took aim with a shakey arm and fired, blowing a hole through one of the rebel's head. He turned to Raevynn, and he slumped down against the wall* One of the aliens, I think it was an Elite they called it...It snuck up on me as I was giving out orders to my artillery squad and chopped my arm clean off with some kind of energy sword..I don't think i'll make it, ma'am..
[]We're in the middle of our first real mission. We're 12 now... Or maybe it was 13. Anywho... We're not doin so well lol[]
Raevynn stood close to Parker, knowing he would definatly need the extra help. With all that blood he had just lost, he wouldn't be so talkative for ever.
Taking a deep breath, she reached for her radio and called for all the Spartans to regroup at their location. Mendez never said anything about Aliens on this trip, but he did teach them to adapt.
"There's no way we can possibly win this battle. But we can't let the rebels or the covenant get their claws on whatever it is they want out of this ship. We need a new strategy. And a new escape plan."
