Reach, 18:07, Unknown
As he walked along the dirt path, Carter saw what lay ahead in the coming months. His team had already been broken by the death of Thom, and they hadn't really regrouped since then. But as he thought about other scenarios, this one was the best. He had learned only days ago that their new team member would be arriving shortly, and he had yet to inform the others.
When he felt a vibration in his armor, he knew something was wrong. Motherfucker he thought, these bastards just keep coming. He quickly turned around and pulled out his DMR. What he saw before him was utter shock and disbelief itself. An entire Covenant army was standing right in front of him.
Son of a bitch! He targeted a group of Grunts, and took great satisfaction in seeing the blue blood fly from their brains. As he targeted an Elite, he felt a stabbing pain in his left leg, and looked down to see blue plasma going through it. He quickly turned around, pulled out his knife, and sliced the elite diagonally through his brain to his jaw. As he the elite fell to the ground, Carter took no hesitation in targeting another group of enemies.
When he saw the blood fly out of their brains, he chuckled. Too damn easy. What happened next took him by surprise. He felt a bullet go through his shoulder, he heard, This is Noble Three reporting, Noble One is down, I repeat, Noble One is down. As Carter faded into darkness, all he could think was, Fuck you Jun.
