"God damn it Mark! Wait up!" Pierce screamed out to Mark as he made his way to reach him. Lowell and Theresa were right behind him as well. "Guys, I need some help here, I'm under heavy fire!" Mark shouted out at them. Mark was pinned down behind a fallen wall, Grunts and Jackals were relentless in there fire. "Theresa, get to work." Lowell told her. Theresa grabbed her last grenade and using only her left hand she removed the pin and threw it at the center of the group. "Thanks Theresa" Mark, said as he, Lowell and Pierce filled the air with AR fire to keep the enemy pinned down while the grenade detonated. Lowell made his way to Mark and began to speak, "Damn it man, we have to stay together, and besides, the Boss needs us to secure the left side of this place." Sorry about that Lowell," Mark responded, "Theresa, I think you could get more use out of these than I can," Mark told her as he handed her his grenades. "Thanks," she responded, "We need to meet up with the Fire Team." "OK, I'll take point this time," Pierce said they began to head for the left side of the facility.
"Suppressive Fire, Suppressive Fire!" Michelle barked out the orders at the top of her lungs in order to drown out the noise of both AR and plasma weapon fire. She checked her ammo counter, it read 27. She got up, fired her weapon until the magazine was empty, then ejected it and slapped in a fresh one. "Boss, I'm almost out of ammo, we can't keep this up." John told her as he reloaded his weapon. "OK, then use this," Steve handed John a Covenant Plasma pistol. "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" John asked. Pull the trigger and shoot them!" Richard scolded him. Michelle fired the last round of her AR. She then pulled out her pistol, took the safety off, and then using the weapon's X2 magnification looked for the nearest target. She saw a grunt wearing red armor, "the idiot is just asking to get a slug to his eye." She put the crosshair on the alien's skull and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit its mark and the grunt fell to the ground. The other aliens around it lost their will to fight and began to run away. Just as they went around a corner they were cut down by AR fire. Michelle was the first to get up to see her Assault Team was still in one piece. "Glad you guys could make it to the party, we still have a job to do."
"OK, we've got these bastards on the defensive. Steve, get to Sniper teams position and tell them they don't have to watch those Shades anymore, tell them to watch us, and when you get back, man one of those Shades. Richard, Lowell and Pierce, get on the rest of the Shades and light up anything non-human. Seamus, try to see if you can get in contact with Lieutenant Swann and tell him about our progress. The rest of you, you're going to help me take control of that tower." Michelle reached down and picked up a Covenant Plasma Rifle. "Any objections?" "Hell no Boss!" "Glad to hear it" Michelle said as she though to herself: Can I keep them all alive? No, I'm not going to ask myself that question anymore! I will keep them all alive! "OK people lets go!"
The center of the facility had a tower were the rest of the covenant had held up. Michelle had a felling that whatever was responsible for causing the radios to jam was here. "On my count, we are going to storm this place. We need to move fast OK, and if anyone throws a grenade, give us a warning." Theresa chuckled. "We move on the count of three. One… Two… Three!" They all rushed into the tower entrance with weapons ablaze. Michelle was not going to let them die.
