Chapter 2: The Plan
Michael and Sean started running to the old building while the rest of them gave them cover fire. The terrain was rough was for them. Many shell craters and weapons lying around. Michael was a fast runner; he had made it before Sean did.
"Come on Sean just a little more!" helped Michael. With that Sean sprinted as fast as he could and even rolled right in. "Nice of you to show up finally," snaked Michael.
"Hey, you try carrying a rocket launcher on your back and running for your life," Sean said sarcastically.
"Fair enough," added Michael.
The two got to top of the building and positioned themselves. They could see the entire battlefield from where they were. It looked awful. There entire battalion of 20 Spartans was pinned downed, unable to move or fight back.
"Winona, come in," Michael said on the Radio. "Do you hear me?"
"Loud and clear," replied Winona.
"We see the towers, were taking aim now," informed Michael. "When the towers blow, you're going to have to get moving and start fighting back."
"I understand," replied Winona. "Boys get ready to see some action."
*Guns Cocking*
"Sean you think you can make that shot?" asked Michael.
"Certainly captain, who else but me," Sean said in a think Scottish accent.
Both of them took aim at tower one. At the base were crates of munitions and explosive barrels. The distance between the rest of the battalion and the towers was about two hundred and fifty meters.
"Fire!" commanded Michael. With that Sean fired two rockets while Michael aimed at the explosive barrels and nearby troops. Within seconds the first tower lit up and collapsed taking out at least one phantom, two wraiths, three ghosts, one banshee and at least four dozen ground units.
"Attack!" commanded Jack. With that all the Spartans got up and charged forward. Jack was able to get three elites within ten seconds with his shotgun. Felix wasn't the best fighter but he was still able to take out several grunts and brutes. Winona just wailed on each elite she saw, out speeding them then getting them in the back. Michael kept his position and kept snipping out ground troops. Sean kept blowing up every vehicle he saw within his sights. Within five minutes the second tower collapsed taking the rest of the phantoms with it. The battle was turning out good for them after all.
"Just keep it up team and we'll be done in no time," Michael said on the radio. Winona was looking through the scope of her DMR, checking for any enemies headed Michael and Sean's way. She then saw a group of six elites headed their way. She immediately tried to shoot them but was only able to kill one of them.
"Michael, Sean come in!" Winona said on the radio. "You have five elites headed your way!"
"Got it!" replied Michael. "Sean we got five elites headed this way, get your pistol out."
"Alright captain," Sean replied.
Michael and Sean both got out there magnums and got ready for anything. They kept hearing rumbles and sounds coming their way. Sean and Michael stood there waiting for anything.
*Roar* growled an elite. Within seconds the elites got in and Michael and Sean were caught in a fist fight. They were able to take out two of them before being cornered. Sean was able to put one of the elites into a hold while Michael had a bit of trouble. Michael has able to break the jaw of the first elite and send him falling to his death out the window. The second elite snuck up on him and now he was practically staring into the face of death. The elite activated his energy dagger on his left hand trying to stab Michael in the heart. Sean was rolling around on the ground with his elite but eventually breaks the elite's neck. He then runs up to help Michael hoping that he isn't too late. Michael was literally milometer's away from death but Sean got up there and shot the elite's head right off.
"Nice job Sean, I owe you one," thanked Michael. Sean helped Michael up.
"Anything for you captain," replied Sean.
At that point the covenant was in retreat. Michael and Sean gathered there weapons and met back with their team.
