In this next part of the story, the squad takes a trip to the Control Room...

Me, my squad, other squads and lots of Elites were waiting for the humans to come. One Elite was waiting next to his Wraith tank, another next to two Ghosts. A Grunt was just hopping into his turret, as one of the humans' dropships came and dropped off heaps of humans! We immediately started firing at them, and that's when I realised. They had a Warthog! If this was a movie, the camera would have done that thing on my face where it zoomed out while they moved the camera in or something to get that cool--oops. Sometimes I kinda get carried away. Okay, back to the story. Yeah, well a few humans got in the Warthog and drove straight for us, but that Wraith got a direct hit and flipped it, killing all the humans inside.

'Duck!' yelled a deep voice from behind me.

I turned around, just as a Ghost skimmed the top of my head. Then I stood there for a couple of seconds, shaking from shock. I turned around when I heard a huge explosion, and Torbei yelled, 'Duck!' as a piece of the Ghost flew over my head.

'I'm to old for this job,' I moaned.

I loaded my needler and ran into battle. A human came running at me with what looked like an elongated fuel rod gun and fired. A missile came out of the barrel and hit me in the face and my head exploded. Nah, just kidding, I'll tell you what really happened. A missile came out of the barrel and hit about three metres in front of me, which sent me flying back really far. I don't know how far, but really far. I coughed up a bit of blood and limped over to a turret, to show what happens when you mess with a Grunt(not much, really). Here's the one word that humans better get used to if they want to fight us: DEAD. What? Being in a turret makes me over confident. I then blasted everything human in the vicinity, picked up the human's missile gun and shot down the human dropship. Then all the other Covenant started cheering, 'Grunty! Grunty! Grunty! Grunty!'

'Grunty! Grunty! Hey Grunty, wake up!'

'Wha?' I sat up and looked around. The battlefield was littered with dead humans and Covenant.

'Grunty!' shouted Dlaeni and slapped me across the face. 'You've been lying here while everyone else was battling. I saw you take that missile gun blow. Now let's go!'

Dlaeni got up and ran in the direction of the Wraith. I lifted myself up and hobbled over to a spare Ghost. I thought about just how cool it would be to an Elite. They can drive Ghosts, Wraiths and Banshees and use cool stuff like plasma rifles and invisibility. But what can Grunts do? Use stupid weakling guns like plasma pistols. I want to use a fuel rod gun but noooo, we have to wait until we're Spec Ops. I wish I was an Elite. Then I looked at the Ghost, checked to see that no one was looking and stepped up to the driver's seat.
