Setting: Blood Gulch
All eight roughed up Spartans (Hunter, Fragmeister, Puma, Hulk, Blitz, Blaster, Hop, and Skid) stood on guard in or on the base awaiting the arrival of reinforcements. Both teams were getting two additional Spartans to help fight off the Covenant.
Blitz: Here they come. Pelican inbound at 6 o'clock.
The four Spartans on the roof (Hunter, Blitz, Hop, and Puma) turned and watched the Pelican's descent. It gently touched down behind the base. Sarge and Crack for the Blue team and Spark and Assassin for the Red team exited and walked towards the base.
Hunter: Everyone inside now! Plasma bombardment!
Everyone ran inside and Sarge sealed the base. Blast doors sealed any holes. The dozen Spartans went down a hundred meters into the control room. They heard the plasma explode on the base and after five minutes it collapsed.
Sarge: I think we had better set up a base inside the cliff where we can get good sniper positions and a height advantage.
Blitz: I agree, sir!
Sarge: Alright then. Everyone grab as much as you can and haul ass to the warthog bay!
Everyone grabbed weapons, ammo, computer consoles, med-packs, etc. and ran to the warthog bay. They loaded up all six warthogs. Puma, Blitz, Skid, Sarge, Spark, and Hunter drove the warthogs with all the other Spartans riding in the passenger seats since the gunner seats were full of boxes. They drove up a ramp one by one and a secret door in the ground opened they drove up and out then made their way for the caverns.
When they got there Hulk, Fragmeister, Blaster, and Hop stayed behind to guard the unloaded goods while the other went back for the other vehicles. After a couple more trips both banshees, all six warthogs, both tanks, and all four ghosts were successfully transported.
After a couple days they set up a control center deep inside the cliff wall. They had their vehicle bay one level under the control center. The armory was one level higher than the command center and all the sniper spots were accessible from the various tunnels that had entrances in the armory and control center. Basically, the Blue and Red team could anywhere from anywhere.
Hunter: Puma! Get your ass over here.
Puma ran over quickly, not wanting to displease his commander.
Hunter: I need you to find Assassin then I need you guys to go infiltrate the Covenant base and figure out what they're planning. And remember, you guys can't die now because you won't re-spawn.
Puma: Sir, yes sir!
Puma ran off to the armory. Once there he got some frag grenades, a pistol, and an assault rifle. Then he went up and checked the sniper spots one by one until he found Assassin.
Puma: Hey man, we're going on infiltration duty, we need to find out what the Covenant are planning.
Assassin: Aight, I'll meet you down in the vehicle bay.
Assassin just jumped off the ledge. Puma ran down there and saw Assassin already in a ghost waiting for him. Puma hopped in one and they flew out towards the base
A couple minutes later they were inside, walking normally because they couldn't find anybody in there.
Puma: I suggest we search for the control center, maybe we can find some plans in there.
Assassin: Okay.
They walked around for another five minutes until they found it. Puma uploaded it onto his suit's computer for it to translate it. A minute later he read it. Roughly translated it meant that the Covenant were going to surround Blue and Red team inside the caves.
Puma: Oh shit, we have to warn them. They're going to be surrounded.
Assassin: I can't get through on the com, there's too much interference in here.
Puma: Shit, lets go outside.
The duo ran outside but the com still didn't work.
Puma: Shit, they must be jamming us.
Assassin: Well, lets go in and warn them.
They ran to the base and entered. They hustled to the command center and right when they got there a massive explosion rocked the base. Blitz, Hunter, Sarge, Spark, Crack, Assassin, and Puma were in the control center when the wall collapsed and two-dozen elites stormed in. All seven somehow escaped without being hurt. They ran up. More elites poured in from every entrance but no grunts were to be found. The seven kept going up, the only way they could. They finally got to the top and they had to run to a sniper ledge.
Sarge: We're gonna have to jump, it's our only hope.
Sarge jumped. He pumped up his hydrostatic gel so that he only sustained minor injuries. Eveyrone else jumped and did likewise. They were all in moderately good condition. They sprinted towards the Covenant base. Plasma impacted all around them. One shot nearly killed Crack but Blitz and Puma picked him up. All seven were safely inside the Covenant base. A second later Fragmeister and Hulk found a way in. That was it.
Unfortunately for the nine Spartans they had lost three men (Blaster, Hop, and Skid). Even worse though, was the fact that the entire base was redesigned Covenant style. All the keypads had Covenant writing and everything was purple or glowing blue. They made their way to the Control center after locking down the base.
Sarge: Okay soldiers, we're up shit creek without a paddle or a boat. We are in the middle of an enemy base with almost no weaponry. We hardly know how to use this base and we lost our Covenant technology expert. I expect Crack to work hard on decoding everything and helping us use the base and I expect Spark to modify what weapons we do have so we can make the most of them. I want Fragmeister, Hulk, and Puma on defense. Assassin, I want you to keep spying on the Covenant and find out what you can. In short, just go do your stuff. Hunter, Blitz, I need you two with me to help plan.
Everyone except for Blitz, Hunter, and Sarge left the control center to do stuff.
Sarge: Okay guys, I know this is bad. No, wait it's not bad. It's horrible. We're stuck in a box canyon surrounded by baddies. I figure, the only way we'll escape is with some sort of dropship. The problem is that we can't call our allies because the Covenant are jamming all communications. That means we'll have to find and destroy their jamming machine. I want you two to get one more man of your choice to accompany us three when we go to knock out the jammer. I want you to pick the best, most reliable soldier because we're going to need him. Right now, I want you guys to help whoever needs it the most. I'm going somewhere to think and plan.
Blitz, Hunter: Sir, yes sir!
Blitz went to help Crack and Hunter went to help Spark.
Meanwhile, Hop, the survivor thought about what had happened. He was in the vehicle bay modifying a ghost to go faster with Skid when a wall exploded and a group of elites rushed into the room. He hopped over the ghost which means a shot intended for him hit and killed Skid instead. He madly dashed around and dived into a storage locker without the elites noticing because of all the dust and smoke. He had shut the door and lost consciousness because he was shot a few times before getting in. He remembered seeing Skid's head melt and seeing Blaster get cut into little bits. He had no idea what happened to the other Spartans but he figured they were dead also. In short, he was doomed...
