End of Halo
Part 5 – "Look at the size of that gun"
Author note: Alright people, this chapter's for you. It will be longer than normal since 3 people wanted that, and for the 5 or 6 people that want a better story, I'll try. You people now have no reason to say I make this hard for you guys.
The group of Misato, Shinji, still hanging on the Master Chief's shoulder, and the Marines moved towards the vehicles, but they had a fight ahead of them. The Master Chief dropped Shinji on the ground, neatly knocking him out and ending his whining. "Whiny ass," Master Chief allowed himself. "Alright, watch it, we've got soldiers around the corner. The Master Chief came around the corner, surprising a squad of SEELE troops. He opened up with his assault rifle, mowing the troops down. One took a burst in the head, blood spurting from the wound. A second soldier took a bullet in the chest, piercing the heart. Blood pumping to the heart spewed out of the hole like a hose. He'd be dead soon from the blood loss. A third soldier was hit in the side and the leg, crumpling to the ground. The last soldier was hit in the chest, and the burst, from Master Chief's experience, looked like it collapsed a lung.
The group continued on, leaving the dying soldiers to their fate. Combat happened in a few more instances, and then the Master Chief's oddball group made it to the Warthog. "Alright," the Master Chief said, "I need to make a call."
--Halo Airspace--
Lieutenant Susan Jameson, callsign "Foe Hammer" was carting a squad of Marines back to Alpha Base, the human camp, when the radio sounded up. "Echo-419," the buzzy radio voice said, "This is Cortana. We need backup and, well, the Master Chief's favorite toy. Transmitting coordinates." "Roger that, Cortana, glad to hear you. I'll pick up the Chief's toy and a couple troops from Alpha Base and move to the coordinates."
--Tokyo-3--
About 15 minutes later, the Master Chief heard Echo-419's Pelican landing craft coming. As it landed, Master Chief was already getting the makeshift fire team moving. Shinji, who had been woken up, said "Oh my god. Look at the size (author's note: emphasis on SIZE) of that gun." The Master Chief had already popped open the hatch of the vehicle Echo-419 had brought. "What is that thing?" The Master Chief replied to Shinji, "An M-808B Scorpion class Main Battle Tank. 102 mm cannon, and a coaxial machine gun for weaponry." "Master Chief, this is Foe Hammer, we've got Covenant inbound. I made the delivery, so I'm heading back to Alpha Base for refueling." "Roger that, Foe Hammer, I'm gonna have some fun. You've got cover, so it should be an easy ride." In usual style, the Covenant strike force came Ghosts first, with tanks behind. A Covenant landing craft dropped some soldiers, Grunts and Elites.
The Scorpion tank started moving, lurching forward, then rolling at a steady pace. The Master Chief pulled the secondary triggers, and the coaxial machine gun fired up. Grunts splattered in pools of light blue blood, and Elite energy shields shone blue. The Master Chief then fired the main cannon. A gigantic muzzle flash came from the main cannon's barrel, and a high-explosive shell hit the Covenant group. The vehicles, to be exact. (a/n: dun dun dunnnn =P)
The shell hit in between the Ghosts and tanks. A Ghost was flung forward by the impact, and the vehicle plowed through Elites and Grunts like a blade through wheat. The Elite riding on the Ghost was flung from his vehicle, collapsing in a heap in front of the Scorpion. Master Chief quickly ran him over, crushing the Elite's frame under the treads. "Foe Hammer," Cortana said over the radio, "When you pick this tank up, it's going to need some cleaning." The marines Echo-419 dropped off were holding onto the tank's handholds, firing. Sgt. Johnson was putting sniper rifle rounds through Elite after Elite. A marine tossed a grenade into a crowd of grunts. Blue splatters flew towards the Scorpion. The marines that had been with the Chief from Tokyo-3 hopped into the previously empty Warthog, and the gunner mowed down Covenant. Eventually, at the cost of nearly every Marine holding cauterized plasma wounds, the Covenant were defeated. "Alright Marines," the Chief said, "patch yourselves up, we're in business. Cortana, I need a transmission to Alpha Base."
