Halo Knights
Episode 3
I knew the mission, very simple. Rescue General Peterson and Lieutenant Griffin from the Ruins of Quebec Quebec. Everyone paired up, and I was stuck with Julius. Danny was up in the pelican writing 'The Covenant likes Ass' with the exhaust, then zoomed off. Norris was with Captain (their true love is very epic), and King was with Hart (they hated each other, and one caries explosives).
Our mission was to clear out the surrounding area, make sure no marines get hurt. King and Hart had to clear a way into the ruins, and Norris and Captain would do the saving. Like I said, real simple.
I dark glow slithered across my screen. I radio crackle, and then a welcomed voice "Hello Corporal," Genesis, my AI, a good program, I honestly think he's the best. I gently placed my hand on the ear piece, "Sssh, Genny, gotta be quiet, gotta do the mission!" Genesis hated when I called him Genny, but he was never short or temperamental with me, "Good luck, Corporal" I needed more than luck. A fight broke out quickly, I had little time for idle thoughts.
"Good work in clearing a landing area,"
I nodded in agreement and thanks, "OK, here's the plan! Hart and King, you two will go down the middle and clear a path for the rest of the marines. Kottan and Julius, you will take the south area. Me and Norris, we'll take the north."
Me and Julius set southward. Once we got to a good spot, we walked, "I knew Jackson would take Chanise, just knew it!" I bashed a grunt in the face with the butt of my gun, not even taking heed of it, "Yeah, I figured," I yawned, more or less out of boredom.
A primative 'whutwhutwhut!' broke out. Brutes, at least four, were heading up the path. One in red armor. I sniped out everything that followed the brutes, very easy. Julius rolled and jumped around everywhere, "What a spazz," Me and Genesis said, almost in unison. I smiled behind my visor.
He had killed all the blue armor brutes and hit his head on a rock. I got up, took out the SMG from earlier and shot the thing in the face. Maybe I was being too bold? It threw me backwards. I got back up and ran at it. It tried to pick me up, but I jumped over it and held it's gut. I let all the bullets go into it's skull. It fell down when I let go of it.
I knelt down with Julius, "Hey," I smiled, but he couldn't tell, "Get up, come on" I shook him a little and he responded, "Thanks Corporal," he said, holding his head. I let go, "No problem," then we were ontop of the cliff over the ruins, picking off puny grunts and chatting. The earth shook. We knew they had gotten in.
