Multikill: Killtacular

by Siyass.Sanderson

The fourth story of the Multikill series, but by far the best one so far. Follows the story of Phoenix team, a group of Marines who have the hardest job in the UNSC, following orders and taking out fellow UNSC members that ONI wants gone, then taking the blame for 'acting out on their own'. But what happens when they finally do act out on their own? Feel free to review.

2. Chapter 2

'Copy that Derv, get to the extraction point, if we aren't there in 30 minutes, leave.'

"You ready to go Chris? I don't want to be here when those ODSTs drop."

"Negative, we have movement, at the mongoose." Chris and Derv hadn't planned on combat for this mission, their silenced pistols were all they took with them, if the enemy fired back, somebody would hear it. But that mongoose was their only mode of transport and if the enemy found it, then the whole mission would be compromised.

'This is Chris calling HQ, we need backup, four soldiers are about to compromise us.'

'We can have Karl there in less than ten minutes, or a Spartan in thirty seconds, however the Spartan will be louder.'

'Can we get the Spartan in fifteen minutes? As loud as you like.'

'Fifteen minute countdown initiated, 5 metres from the mongoose.'

"You do realise that evac leaves in less than half an hour, Osci will leave us behind if we aren't there, the mongoose only holds two people."

"Yeah, but Osci and the rookie have a warthog, if I can get to it in fifteen minutes, I can get a lift with them."

"You won't make it there in fifteen minutes."

"Then let's hope something slows them down." Chris started sprinting off into the trees. Derv ran to the Mongoose, he had to be nearby to help that Spartan and get moving as soon as possible.

Running through the Jungle like this was dangerous, there were patrols everywhere, and animals, if either of them heard him, they would definitely come for him. But if he didn't make it, he would be captured or killed.

Getting to the evac would take five minutes by mongoose. But it took another five from where Osci was, plus parking a five minute run away from your location, in a random direction away from evac. Five minutes in a vehicle was about ten to fifteen minutes running, if the cliff wasn't so damn big, Chris could have run to the ship, but you needed wheels and an engine to get over the gap.

Chris didn't have time to check his watch, but he knew it had been about fifteen minutes when he heard the sound of a fifty calibre rifle firing, followed by alarms and ODST drop pods falling everywhere.

He was too late, that warthog would be gone before he got there, and Chris didn't have a long range radio on him.

He took out his flare and set it off above him, then gripped his pistol, he couldn't get off the planet, but he could always buy some time.
