Getting on the ship was turned out easier than they phoenix had thought, however the ship was on high alert, they knew that there were members of Phoenix on the ship.
They had hidden in one of the small dining halls to make sure they weren't being followed. A Marine walked into the room, but before he had a chance to call for help, Reid shot him with the silenced BR. The team moved the body into the corner and moved on to the next room.
They managed to sneak to the prison bay, but two guards were out front. Styx climbed into the vents and dropped down onto the guards with his sword killing them both. The team entered the prison bay and the door shut behind them.
A bright green and yellow Spartan walked out of one of the cells holding a minigun. "You have two choices, drop your weapons, or see how many rounds you can hold before you fall."
Karl threw a Frag Grenade at the Spartan and dived into an empty prison cell next to him, the Spartan opened fire on the team, Reid and Styx dived away from the spray of bullets. The Frag exploded in front of the Spartan coving his line of sight in smoke, Karl stepped out of the cell firing his Assault Rifle at the Spartan. The Spartan returned fire then suddenly the front of the minigun flew off as an energy sword passed through it. Karl and the Spartan turned to see that Styx had used the smoke and Karl as cover to run at the Spartan.
The Spartan elbowed Styx in the chest then shoved him to the ground with his broken gun. He grabbed the energy sword and swung at Styx who rolled out of the way. Karl opened fire with his AR again, getting the Spartan's attention, the Spartan reached behind him getting out his Heavy Machine Gun, also known as a SAW. He fired back at Karl who had to take cover again and the Spartan aimed at Styx who was still on the ground. The door opened and a second Spartan ran through it and tackled the green Spartan to the ground. This Spartan was in purple armour, it was Dan.
"Stand down Ian, they aren't our enemies, they are just a couple of betrayed soldiers trying to survive. As for Phoenix, the UNSC wants you dead, best that you get out of here."
Karl walked out of his cover, still pointing his gun at the green Spartan. "We aren't leaving when half our team is about to be executed."
"They aren't here, they were moved when you entered the ship, Fitzgerald is going to kill them himself if you go near them. Ian, take the ODST to the medical bay, get him patched up, say he is a hostage. Then help him get to the escape pods, I'll meet you there." At that point Karl and Styx noticed Reid on the ground. He had three bullets in his left leg, and one in his left arm.
The green Spartan picked up Reid and sprinted away from the prison cells.
"Now we have to get them back or this whole mission is for nothing. How can we get them without Fitzgerald killing them?"
