Noble six made his way to captain Keyes pelican with the package.
"Good to see you Spartan, Catherine assured me I could count on you" said Keyes.
"Not just me sir" noble six said putting his head down with sadness in his voice.
"They'll be remembered" inquired the captain. Just as the captain let go of noble six's arm a covenant cruiser appeared in the sky. "Cruiser adjust heading for the autumn". "Noble four I need fire on that cruiser or were not getting out of here" Keyes shouted.
"You'll have your window sir" Emile shouted into the radio. Just as six looked back at Emile a phantom appeared above the mass driver. Six could see a zealot jump on the mass driver attempting to kill Emile, but before he could anything a shotgun round impacted the elites chest taking him and his shields down. Emile exited the mass driver and put another shot in wounded elites head. "Who's next" Emile shouted. Emile had no idea of the zealot coming behind him. Six saw as the elite sank his energy sword into Emile's back. Six squeezed his fist but there was nothing he could do for his comrade. "I'm ready how bout you" Emile twisted his body and stabbed the sangheli in his neck taking him down with him.
"Lieutenant get on board we gotta get the hell out of here" a trooper yelled signaling for six to get on the pelican.
"Negative I have the gun, good luck sir" six said turning and running towards the canon.
"Good luck to you Spartan" Keyes admired the Spartan bravery. He recognized the fact that he would stay behind on a doomed planet so they could escape. Six made his way up the stairs, there he encountered some firm resistance. Taking down the grunts wasn't difficult, but the zealots were a much tougher. After taking down the zealots six jumped in the mass driver. Once the cruisers shield was cracked noble six fired the canon at cruiser. The cruiser to damaged to attack. "All stations brace for cast off" Keyes said as the autumn ascended into to space.
Six couldn't help but gaze at the barren landscape, stained with the blood of his fallen brothers. Covenant dropships began swarming the area around him. He could hear the inhumane roars of elites in the distance. He was a lone wolf once again. Right now death seemed certain. He grabbed his rifle and thought if he was going to die he was going down swinging.
In the distance he could see covenant troops closing in on his position. Six pulled out his DMR and began picking of troops. He began by taking down grunts and jackals since they were the easiest. One shot to the head and they were down. He burning through his ammo quickly taking down tens of covenant. Once his DMR ran out of ammo he pulled out his assault rife. There was group on the right of him consisting of three elites. He threw a frag in between them sending them flying into the air. He moved back into cover as shots impacted his shields. He tossed another grenade killing 3 more elites and a couple of grunts. The covenant must really want him dead if they were sending this many troops at him. He continued to kill them he had already killed at least seventy.
The covenant were all around him now he was taking fire from every side. Two spec ops elites came into the building he was in and started firing on him. They took his shields down, but before they could get threw his armor he threw a plasma and stuck one of them in the chest. The elite scream as the grenade was just about to blow. Six activated his armor lock, the grenade exploded sending purple blood everywhere. Six stood up and downed even more covenant troops. Six had only one clip left in his assault rifle. He knew it was over, even a Spartan couldn't survive this. He took a deep breath and jumped out of his cover. He was taking fire from every side. Six saw elites coming up to him with energy swords so he began to fire at them. His were already down and he felt the heat as plasma started to burn through his armor.
After a few seconds an elite put six on his back. He attempted to stab six, but was stopped with a knife in his neck. While on his back six noticed something in the sky, it looked like some sort of slipspace rupture. He looked around that thing seemed to be dragging everything towards it. He turned to his stomach, but he felt himself being dragged towards it. Six had nothing to hold him down so he was dragged into it moments later six's vision was blurry but he saw a huge space station or something. After a few seconds he blacked out.
