"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" The marine Sergeant Linker screamed.

The fragmentation grenade went off and sent two brutes to hell.

A private stood up to fire only for his face to catch 3 spikes from a spiker.

He dropped silently.

"Jesus! Millers down!"

A beam rifle flew over Linker's head.

"We can't win!"

"But I can…" Said a Spartan.

"Holy sweet Christ…"

A Red armoured Spartan towered over them.

At once, he drew a sniper and fired at the jackal.

It dropped screaming.

"This Is Spartan L04, L03, move in, L02, tap out those brutes. Quietly."

At once, a green armoured Spartan jumped from a roof of a wrecked hut, and speared the two remaining brutes with an energy sword.

A yellow armoured Spartan charged in, she grabbed a jackal, snapped its wrist and kicked it away.

"This is Spartan L03, I'm calling for evacuation for the marines." she announced.

The yellow Spartan got her radio and called for evacuation.

"I'll never understand how they work..." murmured Linker.

5 Minutes Later.

A pelican hovered over around and landed. The marines had held off grunts and brutes, with the Spartans help.

It landed and the marines hopped aboard.

"You're not joining us L04?"

"Not at the minute L01, get those marines back to the tree of fire."

"Yes sir." L01 took up the pelican into the air and set off.

"Come on, we have to go, clear out this place."

The three Spartans turned and set off further into the wrecked city.
