Part IV-Escape or Die
It was pitch black, except for Jun's small headlights. The four have been wondering for what seemed to be hours, but was only twenty minutes.
"Hey Marc?"
"Yes David?"
"How long much further must we go?"
"I dont know Marc, ask one of the ODSTs or the spartan."
"Do you think there is anyone still alive outside of here?"
"David, I honestly think that we are the last, but I still have hope."
"Just think of it, yesterday Reach was untouchable, now it is glass like the others." David looked to the ground."
"Damn Covenant." David said with anger.
The soldiers kept walking for another twenty minutes, until Jun held his hand up, signaling for the group to stop. The spartan turned towards them.
"We stop here, but dont get settled, we leave in a half-hour. Marc, David, come over here."
The room was like an overrun lab. It had tables with papers, cords, cups all over. In the corner were Jun and Halsey. They seemed to be discussing something important. Marc and David walked over to Dr. Halsey and the Spartan. Halsey turned towards them and began to speak.
"We have found a room above us that may lead to a pelican bay. I need you three to go up and scout it out. If you find anything, come back immediately,
and above all,dont engage the enemy."
"Yes ma'am." The three said in unison.
"Okay, let's go marines."
The three soldiers walked up the stairs and into the pelican bay. In the front of the wide room was a pelican dropship and behind that was a phantom dropship.
Coming out of the phantom were Brutes, Hunters and Grunts. They didn't seem notice the spartan or the marines yet.
"Marc, David I want you two to stay here, but don't let them see you." Jun started towards the stairs.
Jun walked down the stairs and towards Halsey.
"Halsey, we have found a pelican upstairs, but it's about to be destroyed by a group of Brutes."
"Well..(pause).., I don't know anything about strategy, but I do know that you should get up there and kill those covies before they destroy our ride!"
"Yes ma'am, I will take the remaining marines and ODST's. You should stay here, for safety. I will leave two marines here to guard you."
"Okay Jun, we only have one chance at this, we cannot fail."
"Understood." Jun turned towards the soldiers.
"Listen up, soldiers! We have found a pelican, but there are Covies, specifically Brutes, Hunters and Grunts. If any of you have Covenant needle weapons then use them against the Brutes."
"Yes sir!" All of the marines said in unison The soldiers marched up the stairs towards the enemy. When they reached the top guns were blazing, bodies were falling.
