Dave hefted the two jackhammer launchers and fired, the kickback pushing him back a few inches. They streaked towards the packs of ODST soldiers charging at him. The explosions mixed shrapnel with blood and bone. His teammates picking off the remainder of the hell jumpers. After the Covenant-Human war. The rebels got a hold on several Spartan-II suits, modified them, and found some kids to train, with a former drill instructor of the Spartan-III project, they got the augmentation drugs and used them. They produced the four man team slang-named "Team Apache", named after the 21st century assault helicopter. Apache was fast, efficient, and deadly. They had even managed to kill a couple UNSC Spartans. Their armor was based more on defense then speed. They used mostly high-caliber weapons. Such as the M6G pistol. The team's main assault weapon was the BR55 battle rifle with a modification to shoot slightly higher caliber rounds. They usually raided military targets, save for the few police stations they attacked. This particular mission was attacking a small base on reach, a communications outpost. But it had something different in it. A small orb that could go through slipspace and hold several minutes of AI time. If they had this, they could bargain for money or weapons. " This is code name Omni, you have the package, apache?" "Omni, this is Apache leader, we got it, pick us up at LZ 7." " Read you Apache leader, over and out." Dave signaled his team to drop off the cliff and deploy flaps. He did the same and soon they were at the bottom of the drop and a refitted pelican sitting in front of him. Dave climbed in and mounted the 102mm sc-he rocket turret, taken from an old capture warthog. As they were pulling away a scorpion tank almost hit the pelican the pilot released an ANVIL-II air-to-surface missile. The scorpion tank exploded killing a couple marines. They pulled away and docked in a rebel frigate, speeding away to a space station through slipspace.

The frigate docked at the base an Apache left for briefing on their next mission. "Dave, you and your team need to take out a vice admiral, we have no name, but we know he will be on the Gulch Bridge in Voi. He'll be in a motor pool and should be the only brass there, so he'll be easy to spot."
