Chapter four: First for a While
"What is it?" Cortana said interested. "The same thing that happened at Reach." John said running down the hall and the stairs to the helljumers quarters in the barracks. He reached the door and it slid open before he had a chance to punch in the code. All the marines were piling out as fast as possible. John went wide-eyed for a moment and then snapped back to reality. He told them all to follow him and they did as told.
Their group was so big it took up the whole hallway. One of the marines asked, "Where are we going sir?" "Were going to the Pelican and Longsword (fighter) bay." John replied. "Why?" Another marine asked. "Were're going to board a that lead Cruiser." John said pointing at the front most Cruiser. He wanted to make sure everyone was there so he looked back and almost tripped on a pilot. The marines all had a look of mischief on their face and then ran even quicker. One of the marines said "I'm gonna kick so much ass."
They boarded 36 Pelicans each armed with hellfire missiles. They also boarded 58 Longswords armed with the new HS2 missiles. The docking bay doors opened and the ships thrusters fired, pushing them out and away from the station. They fired their maneuvering thrusters and pushed toward the lead Covenant Cruiser.
They all took a good look and saw what they saw at Reach. That mournful day they lost millions, billions of lives. Now back and talking Cortana said, "We might need to use one of the Longswords tactical nukes to blow a hole in their hull." "She's right you now" said a pilot. "Yes I know. Other wise she wouldn't be n my head right now." John said pissed at the pilot for what he said. "Cortana take hold of three of the Longswords and fire two tactical nukes each, on these asses." Said the Chief. "You do now that this will leave three of them with only one tactical nuke right?" Cortana said confused. "I know." He said with a grin on his face. Yet no one could see it with his helmet on, everyone could tell and they looked at each other freaked out.
