Forerunner Complex, Entry Chamber
Alto's men charged in they secured the room the flood where nowhere to be found. He yelled out "Bring the equipment from the dropships and set up a small communication station." Zukav ran up to Alto and whispered "This is the second time they do this. Is this their plan all the time?" Alto replied whispering "Their going to ambush us down the hall on the right that room was filled with bodies in the clip. That is the prefect spot they'll have thirty or more in there. When we get to there room that the huge thing was in we'll encounter thirty or more again." "What do you think we should do?" "Have the men draw their plasma rifles and have them dual wield; before they charge into the room have them throw their holodrones into the room the flood should buy this then have the soldiers throw their grenades most of the flood should have charged the images and will die in the blast." "Okay, it's a plan." Alto and his men went into the hall just outside the room. The squads turned on their Holo-Drones the Drones walked into the room.
The Holo-Drone was a standard issue for all Special Forces the most inserting thing about them was that when they fired it actually does do damage. The damage was real because of the field surrounding the energy which formed the shape of the holo figure had a recharger which allows it to expend some of its energy to form the holo projectile which is made out of pure energy. While the Holo-Drones firepower wasn't as good as a regular weapon it was still excellent for close quarter combat because it confused the enemy.
A loud shrieking noise pushed out the void of silence. The Sangheili threw their grenades in there after the heard there holo figures fight the flood forms in melee combat. A blast happened then another loud shriek happened.
Alto and his forces ran in firing the flood charged down to them. He ran for two flood forms and did a roll chopping off one of the forms legs then he jumped up slammed his sword straight through the other flood form. More flood came the room was filled with them. Alto shook his head and yelled "Fall back, fall back before we're overwhelmed!" Zukav yelled "How we'll we hold them back?!" Alto shouted back "The hallway two men can hold it against fifteen in any case!" "Leader, we shouldn't fall back!" "Brother, the hallway is an easily defensible place!" Zukav realizing he had lost this argument shook his head. Alto wondered why Zukav was so angry his thoughts were interrupted by a flood soldier trying to wipe Alto with its tendrils. Alto backed up but not enough his shields went down by a third he chopped the flood soldier in half. Sixteen additional soldiers poured out on Alto's formation. The Special Forces fired and fired but the flood kept coming and coming.
Alto's formation pulled back to the hallway the flood pursued Alto stopped and swung his sword viciously and rapidly. Zukav had the Special Forces teams to form up in this formation 3 Sangheili lying down, 3 Sangheili crouching, and 3 more Sangheili standing. Alto ran behind this formation the teams fired blue light from the plasma filled the hallway. Not a signal flood form went through the stream of plasma. More flood came it seemed like the entire flood in the complex had come. Alto went up to Zukav he said "Have the men rest and recharge their weapons I'll hold off the flood." Zukav just nodded Alto charged into the flood. The flood charged Alto but none could break past his sword. Alto threw a grenade onto the ceiling and it fell down into the flood and exploded. Alto ran back behind the formation which seemed to be ready to blanket the hallway again he throw six more grenades which destroyed the flood's interior forces.
The battle in the hallway was starting to die down for now anyway. Alto only then noticed the stench. Alto saw that decayed bodies and plasma hitting them was not a fragrance but a horrible near vomiting stench. A Sangheili seemed to agree with his opinion because he threw up which only added to the smell. The teams walked out of the hallway, but some might have run out of the hallway. Alto went up to a Sangheili and told him "Gather up all the bodies then grab the plasma incinerator in the entry chamber and burn them. You over there," Alto pointed to another Sangheili, "help him with his task." The two Sangheili ran out of the chamber. Alto said "You have two minuets of rest. Then we move out and finish this mission."
The Special Forces moved into another room it was filled with uninfected bodies. Silent sounds echoed in the room small things were cleaving open flesh to take over the dead bodies. A furious looking Sangheili shouted out with tears in his eyes "For my fallen brothers!" he shot one small thing it burst. All the other Sangheili even Alto and Zukav shouted out with tears streaming down their eyes "For my fallen brothers!" the room busted with fire all the small thing popped very quickly when a ton of fire came at them. Alto went to a Sangheili and told him "Get the plasma incinerator then pile up the bodies and burn them." Alto rubbed out the tears in his eyes. The corpuses were piled up and burned.
The teams moved into another room there was no flood in sight except one. Right in the middle stood the huge thing Alto's team had come to destroy. Alto whispered to a Zukav "Have the men prepare the small anti-matter charge set it for remote detonation and get the tech here so we can hack the computer and get all the information it has." Zukav nodded and went to the other Sangheili. The tech came up the computer and hacked it with an A.I. that took all the information and send it to the Fists of Justice. Alto placed the small anti-matter charge on the huge thing. The flood came pouring out into the room. Alto yelled out "Out of here!" Zukav set down small plasma mines on the sides and ceiling of the hallway leading to the huge thing. The flood came out into the hallway the mines went off it collapsed the hallway. Zukav muttered "That should stop them." Alto replied in a muttering tone "I hope so." Within the hour Alto's team was outside and the Apparition dropships came. Alto walked into the barracks of the battalion Merciless Hammer and went to sleep.
