Chapter Two: D-DAY
3:47 AM
Fireteam Maze Headquarters
The team was sound asleep, they had a long day of training and were glad to get some relief- Beep Beep Beep, goes the alarm. Suddenly, Elle jumped up and smashed the alarm clock. "Why the hell is this thing going off?". Sam got up, "Maybe we should ask Caine…" Sam replied. Charlie got up and woke up Rachel. "Wha- What's going on?" Rachel asked, Charlie was about to reply but a knock was heard at the door. Elle opened the door to see Jasper standing, "Oh Hi Jas-". Jasper interrupted, "No time to blabber your mouth, you need to suit up. We are heading to Reach, the Insurrectionists are causing trouble again. MOVE IT NOW!" Jasper slammed the door and left. This left a bitter taste in Elle's mouth…
5:30 AM
UNSC MAMMOTH Hangar
Fireteam Maze were one of the last marines called up for deployment, so they were stuck in a lot of traffic, metaphorically, they were just in a long line. The group started checking their guns, each of them had their own load out. Elle with her Shotgun and magnum, Sam with his Assault Rifle and Magnum, Charlie with his DMR and souvenir Plasma pistol, and finally, Rachel with her Sniper and SMG. "Ugh, HURRY IT UP!" Sam had yelled which drew attention to the whole team. Elle, Charlie, and Rachel stood there embarrassed until they were called up to enter the Pelican. Once inside, Charlie scolded Sam "What the freakin' HELL was that!?" Rachel tried to calm Charlie down "Hey hey, the past is past let's just calm down and wait for our ride to end.." The whole team needed to cool down, Charlie, Elle, and Sam were all pissed…
8:02 AM
Reach
Operation: Sword Base
The team had finally made landfall and exited the Pelican. The worse part is that they landed in a middle of a warzone, Elle and her team made their way through piles of bloodied bodies and injured soldiers. They took cover behind a car started firing, Elle needed time to come up with a plan so she made a small one to buy time "HOLD THIS POSITION!". Charlie ran over to a group of injured soldiers while Rachel covered him, Sam gathered the reinforcements and flanked the Rebels. Charlie tried to wipe up as many blood as he could, there were 10 injured and only 4 had survived. "Rachel, Give me some cover!" Rachel nodded and covered Charlie as he brought the survivors behind cover. Elle had a plan and regrouped with her team, "Alright, Our main goal is to take down the leader of this operation, Harrison Stockman. He is hiding out somewhere in this base-" Suddenly a mortar blast hits the team sending Elle crashing into a wall… Everything goes blurry…
To be Continued. Harrison Stockman might have his hands on 4 marines…
