"Wait what?" Ray said. "But the elite honor guards were replaced with Brute ones." "Ray, prometheans coming three o'clock." said Jessica. Ray took a step towards the wall then looked back at Bitan before replying. "I'll be right there Jess." walking up to the wall he activated his thrusters to get up the wall. Looking through the scope of his sniper rifle he looked and saw two promethean soldiers and a pack of crawlers. "James-" Ray started but James cut him off. "I see them." he said. When Ray looked again he saw James around the corner from the prometheans.
"James I want you to engage them." Ray said.
"Roger." James said he then charged up his dual boltshots before turning around the corner and firing. The blasts hit prometheans soldiers killing them as the hardlight cut through them. James then kept firing at the crawlers till they had all died. Looking through his scope he saw more prometheans coming. Ray called James him back. "It looks like those prometheans you took out were a scouting party. More are moving in on your position." he said. As James started running back, Ray called up Mark when he had made it up the wall he asked "What is it Ray?"
"Still got that target locater?" Ray asked.
"Yea, but I had to leave one of plasma pistols behind for it." Mark answered.
"Great I need it." Ray replied. Mark handed him the locater. Ray then zoomed in where the prometheans were. they all got outlined in red as the weapon located them. Ray pressed the trigger. At first nothing happened then missiles shot from the sky hitting and killing the prometheans.
"Heck yea!" Ray yelled tossing Mark back the target locater. He then jumped from the wall and approached Bitan and Xita. Xita said something it sangheili.
"What is he saying?" Ray asked.
"He wants you to follow him." Bitan said.
"Ok. lets hope we can trust him," Ray said "Team follow Xita." Xita started running in the direction they came. When Xita had stopped running they were in front of a lich then Xita said something again. Ray looked at Bitan for a translation.
"He says get in." Bitan said walking inside. As the team got in Xita hopped in the pilot seat and started up the ship.
"Jess contact the Survivor for a rendezvous point," Ray said. "And tell them we're in a lich so they don't shoot us out of the sky."
"Got it." Jess said as she started contacting the frigate.
"Bitan can't you get Xita to speak english?" Ray asked. "He won't stop saying blarg."
"He says he doesn't speak it. I already asked." Bitan replied while walking to the cockpit. Jess walked up to Ray
"Orders want us to go to a city to look for survivors. They're sending marines with us." she said.
"Go tell Xita where to go." Ray replied. Ray looked fearing the horrors that might come.
