We seriously shouldn't have taken this job.

That same thought kept running through her mind as she was crouched behind a warthog flipped on it's side. She liked taking these jobs, always rewarding in the end, but she didn't want to risk the lives of her team, her friends. They were too important.

"Hey! Stop daydreaming and help me!"

The sound of his voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She had forgotten about the covenant approaching and the plasma flying over her head, well the side of the warthog anyway. She looked at her AR's bullet count. 21 it read. She didn't have any other clips with her and her magnum was shot. What am i supposed to do she thought. looking over at her teammate in TRACER Class armor. The sound of the plasma was becoming deafening, They were getting closer.

The mission had been to take out and neutralize a covenant outpost on the planet, Garrus-V.

What they hadn't been told was that it was more than an outpost.

It was a Spire.

Spire's have only ever been seen used during the invasion of Reach. They were huge...Spires...That produced a large and impenetrable shield in the shape of a dome around it. how much the shield actually covered varied but this Particular one covered three miles on each side of it. Outside of the shield were also a great many watch towers, THAT'S what they were attacking right now...well not really attacking, more like hiding from.

Standing up, she unloaded the rest of her current clip (A/N correct me if the term would be Mag Instead of clip.) into the oncoming covenant. she only managed to take out a couple grunts and a jackal. Her Teammate got up and ran at the enemy, unloading an entire clip into two elites before switching to his magnum to take out a jackal sniper. she ran with him, grabbing a storm rifle along the way. the way to the tower had been cleared, now it was time to strike.

They both vaulted over the low cover at the base of the tower. quickly pulling out her knife, she stabbed an elite right up through his mandibles, covering her hand in it's purple blood.

"There are only a few jackal snipers up there, but there is also an elite with an energy sword." Her Teammate said. she nodded and they both stepped on the grav lift up to the platform above.

As soon as she landed on the platform she took out two jackals with a spray from the storm rifle. Her teammate simply breaking the other jackal's neck. She then heard the familiar hiss of energy behind her. she turned around to look at an elite major with an arm raised to slice her in half. She back stepped away from the swing, catching the elite off-guard. She kicked the elite straight in the stomach, sending him backward. her teammate jumped on the elite while he was stunned and shoved his knife right into the elite's eye. It let out a bloodcurdling cry as it pushed him off. She ran up to the elite, pulling his sword out of his hand and slicing his chest with it all in one motion. "And now we wait for the 'Cavalry'" She sat down, thinking to before the mission.

-2 DAYS EARLIER-

She Looked at her team. There was Shield, their hacker. Arrow, Their Sniper. And last but not least, Hammer, the heavy. All led by her, Castle. Castle was formerly a marine, brought into the SPARTAN-IV program because of her achievements. Because of her past she prefered to wear NIGHTFALL armor with a SOLDIER class helmet. Shield was one of ONI's top Hacker. The funny thing was that he joined on his own, not because he was ordered to. He wore a full set of TRACER armor. Arrow is a bit of an unknown, all we know is that he was recruited by Commander Sarah Palmer herself. Arrow wears JUMPMASTER armor with with a CIO helmet.

Hammer was a former officer of Citadel-Security. He signed on for action...and action is what he got. He wore SECURITY armor with a STRIDER helmet.

Hammer was sitting next to her, polishing his beloved SAW.

"How ya feelin Castle?"

she simply looked over at him, not saying anything. Hammer shrugged and went back to polishing his primary firearm. Castle got up and walked over to where Arrow was practicing his sniping.

"Good morning, Doing the routinely check up i see."

"Have to make sure you idiots are ready to jump feet first into hell, Arrow" Castle said, a smirk appearing on her face. Before leaving she gave him a pat on the shoulder.

Shield was kicking a vending machine as castle approached.

"...damn fucking son of a- Oh! hey Castle." he exclaimed as he saluted her. he put his arm down and looked back at the machine. Castle walked to the side of the vending machine and gave it a sharp kick to the side, a loud CLUNK could be heard as whatever shield was trying to get dropped. Castle held back a face palm when she saw what he was trying to get...a bottle of water.

Castle turned on her transmitter and spoke to her other teammates.

"Alright people, armor up, we leave in 10"

"IN TEN WHAT?!" Shield yelled, he knew she meant minutes but he just loves being a pain.

-PRESENT-

"Where are the others?" shield asked.

"They're working on trying to take out the energy shield, or at least make a hole big enough for us."

"Oh" Shield replied. Castle shook her head. Does he ever pay attention? She thought to herself.

This is going to be a long day.
