0800 hours, Gab watched in both amazement and confusion as the two covenant forces fought each other, something had caused a sudden cease fire. Both Gab along with two other marines he picked up, Dave and Michael. They stood in awe as brutes shredded elite, elite ripped through brute, bloodshed followed by bloodshed. Michael looked at the battle, "I feel like we're missin' sumthin'." he said with his Assault Rifle on his shoulder. Gab looked at him, "I couldn't say it better my-" Gab was cut off by the sound of bodies being rammed and the roar of a warthog engine. "Someone call for support!" Kevin called over the radio. Kevin leaned from the back of the hog, an SMG in his left hand and his right holding onto the hog's cage, he fired into the crowd of covenant who seemed more preoccupied about killing each other than the humans. The hog jumped over Gab's group landing behind them, "all aboard!" Mendez shouted to them as they jogged to the hog, "what about them?" Dave said climbing into the back of the warthog. "We left 'em a little present." Kevin said holding up four fingers as they drove off down the highway, Kevin's fingers went down, when he reached zero the ground shook as a defining explosion sounded from behind them. "Bam said the lady." Kevin said smiling inside his helmet.
Pace looked at the aliens before him, he felt disgusted that he had to join forces with these, things, even if they are not with the covenant. Tozoa turned to Pace, "well?" he said holding up his arms, "I guess... Damn" Pace said walking up to Asha, "Don't think this means I like you." he said holding out his hand to her, "likewise human" she squeaked back. "Do you say that to all the newcomers?" Dan said standing in the doorway of the exit. "Well if the jolly-green giant ain't a hoppin' around." Pace said putting his hands on his hips, "how's the weather tiny!" he joked putting his hands to his mouth acting as if he had to yell, "would you like to see?" Dan joked back. "Alright guys, we need to be serious now." Eon said, his arms folded. "Oh alright." Pace said turning back to the group, Dan behind him. "Now," Asha said, "our ship is unable to jump through slipspace; we need to find one that can do so." "Readings indicate that a Covenant battle cruiser is currently in orbit on the far side of Havana over the small city of Killen." Samantha said over Tozoa's speakers. "Well, who's your girlfriend Tozoa!" Pace laughed. "She's my memory... Of my wife." Tozoa said. Pace stopped and looked at Tozoa, a sense of embarrassment and shamefulness on his face, "sorry ab-" "all is well." Samantha interrupted. "We have our plan, now we execute." Asha said, she turned inviting them aboard the Faith of One.
Gab jumped up and down as the hog roared down the body filled streets, dead brutes, mangled elites, but barely any marines he looked back to see Marx asleep leaning against the cab of the hog, they took turns in shotgun protecting Mendez, she was a short woman, but tough as nails, "don't think I'd be able to walk on those legs..." Gab thought to himself. "Where we headed captain?" Dave said leaning over the top of the guard rails to the cab of the hog, "space elevator." Mendez said back. "Well we're to fight 'em on their own turf, zero-g bullets baby!" Dave said leaning back into his seat. Mendez chuckled smiling a bit. They came up onto a highway leading to the space elevator, there was a make-shift hut on the ground next to an old gas-station, Mendez looked at Kevin who nodded and jumped from the hog, "am I always the scout!" he called walking over to the tent, he noted a radio inside, it looked like it had taken a beating. Kevin picked it up as slurred words and white noise blasted through the air, Kevin walked back to the hog and handed the radio to Mendez, Kevin took his helmet off. He was a young man, not even twenty-five; he had long spiked blonde hair and blue eyes as well as a scar on his left cheek. "This is UNSC- The Covenant are- the space elevator is- LOOK OU-" the radio hissed, just then the large structure in the distance shook with an explosion, the space elevator toppled over falling to the ground with a defining crash, Kevin had jumped up to protect Mendez from the dabree.
