Dr.Halsleys Lab
Adam had been gone for exactly two minutes to get the generator ready to blow. That meant that they had eight minutes to get the hell out of their.
" Kelly I encountered no hostiles if you ask me that sounds suspicious." Adam said to Kelly
" I think that's the least of our worries we need to find a way out of here since our way in has been blocked by all of that fallen metal that the hunters had created." Kelly informed.
" There is a hidden garage of vehicles down that hall." Dr. Halsley pointed toward a door.
"That garage has a way out. I saw UNSC personnel driving in and out through the exit, the problem is that since the Fortress is in high alert the exit has been sealed. Maybe if there is still some scorpion tanks at the garage we might be able to blow a whole big enough to get through." Halsey said.
"Is this the only way into the garage?" asked Ben.
" Since we are at high alert yes the rest of the entry ways are locked so I think that their would be no Covenant." Halsley answered Bens question.
" Then that's the way we go." Said Kelly.
" Adam blow the generators." she ordered.
" Yes mam." Adam responded.
Adam took out a a device and pressed a button. A huge explosion is heard and the entire Fortress lights and power goes dark.
They switch to night vision and head out the door toward the garage.

Hangar Elevator:
Red team waited patiently for the juice to be killed. As soon as it happened red team was up and running.
" Don't not use fire arms red team I want complete stealth." Fred said taking out his combat knife.
The rest did the same. They went back down the elevator exit one by one trying not to make a sound.
Fred signaled group one to move out first. Three Spartans moved out of the elevator to encounter 2 jackals and an elite confused not being able to see.
They coordinated an attack and all three grabbed each covenant by the back and slit their necks with their knives. Not even making a sound.
Group one signaled that the area was clear. All the groups moved out of the elevator with out a sound.
To the Covenant it was all pitch black but the Spartans moved as if it was day.
They reached the hangar to their amazement their was a single Pelican Drop ship still there. It seemed to be in working order it even had some hellfire missile pods all loaded.
Covenant where every where. They where trying to look alert. At least as good as they could since it was hard to see.
Most where grunts Fred only counted 6 elites. He was thank full that there where no hunters. All of the elites where surrounding the Pelican. Fred sent two groups this time to take out the elites including him self so he could get in the pelican and get it ready.
Seven Spartans moved out while the rest covered them. Each Spartan picked their target all went down quietly un tell the last one actually was able to scream out in pain before his wound in his neck took it's toll on the elite.
The grunts immediately panicked and started running like crazy trying to fire at the Spartans but the all shot blindly.
The Spartans began to board the pelican but the jackal's where a little smarter. They heard sounds foot steps and they shot toward the sounds. They hit a Spartan with a charged plasma shot killing his shields giving out the rest of the Spartans position thanks to the glowing of shields. They began to fire at the Spartans running toward the pelican.
Fred ran to the cockpit got on the captains chair and he hit a couple of switches and turned the engines on. The engines fired upped. Fred pressed a button to open the hangar doors.
Slowly the doors opened by the time they where open Red team was ready to roll.
The doors where totally open lighting the entire hangar. Finally all the jackals and grunts began to fire upon the pelican but it was to late.
Fred pushed the throttle for power and the pelican flew out of the hangar only leaving some pissed off Jackals and grunts behind.
" Well that was kind easy." Fred said " Barely no resistance. What in the hell are the Covenant planning?"

Fortress hidden garage:
" What did I tell you no Covenant." Halsley said smiling.
" True Dr. but now we need to open that door." Kelly said.
" What door I cant see a thing. You guys have night vision while I walk around like a blind person." Halsley said. She obviously still had a buzz from drinking.
Kelly looked around and saw that the Dr. was right she saw 2 Scorpion tanks parked.
" Ben and Adam get on those tanks and fire them up." Kelly ordered.
The tanks where side by side. Both Adam and Ben boarded a tank and powered it up. Both tanks where locked and loaded.
" Both of you aim at the same point, when ready fire!" Kelly ordered.
Both Spartans aimed at the same point and the Fired. After the smoked cleared their was no whole but the door was dented.
" Fire again!" Kelly said
They fired once again but it took 3 more shots, and finally the dent was blasted into a whole enough for them to move out. The whole let light in and created a path of light that lead toward the whole.
" Lets move out!" Kelly yelled.
They walked out through the whole.
" Red team this is blue team we are out of the complex with the package and are ready for pick up." Kelly said through her com.
" Roger that blue leader we have your position ETA: 30 seconds." Fred answered back.
The Pelican finally appeared and landed. Blue team boarded and went to there seats and got secured.
Kelly walked to the cockpit and sat on the co-pilot seat and secured her self.
" Your late!" Kelly said
" Better late that never." Fred responded
" We got 2 minutes before this place goes nuclear on us so punch it!" Kelly said.
Fred hit the throttle at full power and they began there accent toward space.
Once they got up there they realized the reason they encountered few Covenant.
Twenty Covenant ships positioned them selves around Reach. They began to Glass the planet. They began to see the Fall Of Reach in front of there eyes.
" Dr. can you come over here." Kelly said
Halsley got up and went to the cockpit to see what Kelly wanted.
Right in front of her eyes she saw the horror. The Atmosphere of Reach began to boil.
Tears began to build up on her eyes. She began to remember all of her memories on Reach. Memories of friends and family began to create pain in her mind.
She had enough she went back to her seat.
Kelly and Fred and the rest of the Spartans did not cry or show much emotion but inside they where in grief. It was there that they where given a purpose in life. What mattered was that they where alive.
Fred and Kelly saw the Cruiser Leviathan, two battle ships and a Frigate began to move away from battle.
While three battle ships and 5 frigates covered their escape.
Fred began to steer the pelican toward the Battle ship Ragnarok where most likely the escaping ships moved.
Halsley finally got her thought's back together and got up and walked toward the cockpit.
" Fred give me a com toward the Ragnarok." Halsey asked
" Yes mam." Fred said
Fred pressed the com button and put in the right com coordinates.
" There you go Dr." Fred said once he was finished.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Battle ship Ragnarok:
" Sir we are getting a message from a pelican. It seems to be Dr. Halsley sir." The communications officer informed Capt. Luna.
" Patch it in to my computer son" Luna responded
" yes sir!" the communication officer responded back.
Luna opened the com.
"We read Dr. Halsley. This is Capt. Luna it seems that you got off Reach just in time." Luna said toward Halsley.
" Capt. Thank you for the concern but we need a place to dock. Do you still have room for us." Halsey responded.
" In a matter of fact I was saving a place just for you Dr you have permission to dock at hangar C." Luna Responded.
" Thank you Capt. Once we board I wish to talk to you at the bridge." Halsey said.
" Ill send and escort for you mam." Luna said to her
" That wont be necessary Capt. I have my own escort. Halsey out."
The com was disconnected
" I wonder what she meant by her own escort." He said to him self.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Pelican
Fred piloted the pelican toward Hangar C and saw that the Hangar was extremely crowded with all kinds of ships from pelicans, Long swords, and some civilian ships as well.
He finally found a spot at he put the pelican down for a landing.
