All for You
I quickly jumped into the cockpit of the AA gun and fired at the nearest Phantom. It erupted into a purple explosion. Bam! Another one, I pressed the trigger again. Those damn aliens deserved it. Especially those elites! They always talked about honor and pride. What honor did they give Kat? They shot her while she had her back turned! It was a cowards shot.
"This is for Kat!" I screamed as I pulled the trigger again. Another Phantom fell. Feeling sweat drip down my forehead I took off my helmet. I looked at the skull on the front and put it at my feet. Six was fighting easily against the covenant forces. He had heard she was a lone wolf, but still he wished he could help her. He didn't think he could handle seeing another one of his teammates die, let alone her.
My thoughts snapped back to the phantoms. I directed the cannon at the next Phantom. I fired, and fired again, and again and again. They seemed endless! But I kept firing. The purple smoke didn't block my vision. I felt like I was worth nothing right now. There was no way we could save Reach. I wanted to put my helmet back on and scream to Six to run and get off the planet. She would get the chance, maybe I would too… If these damned Phantoms would stop coming in.
I wanted to scream, to whine like a child. I knew these Phantoms would not stop coming in till the planet was nothing more than a lifeless planet. I knew I had a very slim chance to make it off this planet. The Pelican dropped in and Six handed them the AI. I smiled. I put on my helmet and was ready to leap out of the canon at any second. I heard Six's voice.
"Come on, Emile let's get outta here," She said through the com link. I gritted my teeth and was about to say I couldn't go, but I saw a Phantom shot down a Pelican. Narrowing my eyes I aimed and pulled the trigger again. The Phantom's torn metal fell and hit the landing pad. Six quickly jumped out of the way. I saw a new phantom drop off two Field Marshalls. I swiftly grabbed my shotgun and shot off my first round. It hit the first one in the stomach. As it crouched panting in pain I shot it again. It fell, dead.
"Who's next?" I yelled. A sudden pain erupted from my stomach, like the food I had earlier was ripping through my stomach. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Six. Her stance showed surprise as she faced my way. My attention turned back to the Field Marshall. I placed my hand on my kukri handle and whipped it out.
"How bout you?" I managed to scream as I dug the kukri into the grinning elite's throat. We fell and hit the floor. I took the knife out of the elite's throat and slipped it back into the stealth. I was fighting for breath. I blacked out for a minute or two and I saw Six exit the cannon.
"S-Sixxx," I rasped. She turned to me in surprise and crouched next to me. She took off her helmet and I saw surprise in her eyes.
"I thought you were dead," She explained. I smiled and looked into her eyes. She picked up a nearby health kit and was about to open it. I placed my hand on top of her hand to stop her.
"N-No way. I ain't gonna make it outta here," I managed to say. Six looked stunned at what I had just said. I could understand. I could tell she felt stunned.
"Emile, your hurt. You don't know what you're saying," She said swiftly, trying to hide her emotions. I started to chuckle, but stopped when I started to cough up blood. I had protected her when we were bringing the package here and I had completed my mission. I was of no more use to the UNSC. My vision started to fade and I fell into an endless slumber.
I did it all for you, Noble
First Halo story and I have to say… I'm damn proud. Please no flames (Not like you'd listen anyway -_-)
