Soon, it had started.
My two comrades and me where going to win this.
This was a game of Halo, CTF.
I was on the Red team with my two friends (who's names will remain classified).
We had made a strategy, which we all agreed on.
After this agreement, I went through the teleporter and ended up halfway towards the enemy base.
My radar showed movement.
I quickly stopped (???) and waited for they to get closer.
I then ducked behind the hill.
I prepared my plasma grenades.
It was over in a matter of seconds.
Blood was all over my visor and had to wipe it off.
His head landed on the ground with a very loud 'thump'.
While he was respawning, I quickly picked off the other two blue team members at their base with my sniper.
While no one was there, I ran to grab the Active Camouflage or AC for short, and then sat behind the hill, then grabbed the Rocket Launcher.
I then walked over towards their base careful not to arouse the sniper on the base who had respawned only seconds earlier.
He fired a shot, but not at me.
My heart was beating very fast.
As soon as I got behind them, I hit him with the butt of my shotgun and could hear his spine cracking under the force and he was dead before he hit the ground.
That was the signal to attack.
My fellow teammates were watching for a man at the other base to fall without warning, then attack.
My AC was almost gone.
I could see myself fading in.
Shots were fired at me from behind.
I then stuck a plasma grenade on his face.
Not again! he wailed.
Obviously, this was the guy I put a sticky on earlier.
His head was blown clear off his body, again.
By now my friends should have been about half way to blue base.
But as I watched they come speeding in, someone respawned right below me and had opened fire upon me.
But as he ran up the ramp to the top of the base, his leg was blown out of it's socket but was still attached by some skin.
He howled in pain as he tried to regain his balance, but his stomach and lungs were blown out of his body, and he fell to the ground dead.
As soon as he was killed, someone had shot my arm from way up in a cave.
By the sound of it, it must have been a sniper rifle.
I quickly ducked behind the teleporter and grabbed the medical kit and applied bio-foam to the gapping wound.
Now on my HUD (heads up display) a message scrolled across.
Red team has the flag.
I then heard the Warthog's engine start up.
I quickly jumped off the base and into the passenger seat.
We were off!
While Kenneth was blasting away at the sniper in the caves, we drove off into victory.
But then, out of nowhere, a vapor trail flew over my head and I heard a thumping noise behind us.
Kenneth was dead.
The bullet flew straight through his head and nearly missed mine.
With our gunner dead we had no defense!
I couldn't turn around far enough to snipe the sniper!
We were sitting ducks!
But Ian's magnificent evasive maneuvering skills helped me and him get out of their alive, but not without any scratches or gapping wounds.
We soon scored a point; Kenneth respawned, we met up with him, and plotted our next assault.
