The elite in the Seraph with Johnson glared at him. "thank you" the elite said. Johnson walked over to him, "Sorry I had to knock you out but you were going cra-" the elite cut him off " I want to put that behind us, oh... and the name's Aung". "You two go to the passenger space". The grunt and Johnson sat in the passenger room. "I can't beleive your a human. Let me get a good look at you. What's under your helmet"? "It's a magical invention called a hat and I have hair under it"! Johnson said. " Ahhh, no need to shout did I offend you?" Asked the grunt trying to sound innocent. " Chill, it was only sarcasm". Aung walked in the passenger room. "you to better hold on tight, we're about to pass brute territory."
The ship started to rumble. It was being fired at. "What should we do"? asked Aung over the loud speaker "normally we'd just bomb it but there are bretheren done there we're sending down the finest warriors and the wounded can Either drive a ship or rest. This is our first stop. Captain out".
"Am I going?" asked Miranda. "You may if you wish" said the captain." Here, take a sword and a needler". "Why a needler?" asked Miranda. "brutes weakness is a needler, It can pierce there skin and get there weak inners". Miranda toke the weapons and turned toward her new allies. "Your welcome" said an elite in the corner. Miranda looked over and was confused. "me"? Miranda asked. "Yah remember I shot that drone for you...you said thank you, I fainted in battle". The elite said, Miranda then said, "Oh yah I remember, my name is Miranda, what's yours"? "Orte" the elite said. "Well Orte looks like we're going to team up". "pile out" The captain said as the phantom slowed and parked behind some rocks.
"Dammit to hell"! Aung said " We're going to crash"! "Then we're going to go down swinging" said Johnson "fire all the bombs we have".
Johnson pulled all the bomb slot triggers and didn't have time to aim. The 3 bomb hit in a number of places, one in the middle of, the brutes one hit the top of the mountain that the brutes swarmed out of, and the last went over the horizon into one of Delta Halo's oceans. " Listen human the Captain said DO NOT RELEASE THE BOMBS"! The ship spiralled and crashed.
"What were they thinking"? said the Captain as he and his team ran over to see what had happened. Johnson crawled out of the ship. He was bleeding and his hat was torn. Blood ran down his face. It tasted a little salty. Miranda and the captain ran over to Johnson while Orte fought off the brutes.
" Johnson" Miranda yelled from a distance. Johnson stood up
against a rock, plasma fire came in from all sides of the rock. For the first time as a marine Johnson thought it was over. Johnson's life flashed before his eyes, he thought about his wife at home his kids and his dog. His wedding, his fist car, and watching Football with his best friend, Joseph Taylor. Johnson was scared and pissed he saw a near by Beam rifle and 2 carbines. He wasn't about to let a team of furrballs from space take his life.He jumped on the rock and sniped a Jackal sniper dead between the eyes, he shot 2 brutes helmets off and sniped a pile oof grenades on the ground blowing up 4 Jackals 3 brutes and one ghost.He fell back off the rock and had fainted. Miranda finally caught up with him, catching him and she rested him up against the rock.
The captain looked at the fallen Seraph that the human crawled out of and salvaged 8 plasma grenades, 7 plasmarifles, and one fuel rod cannon. There were no survivers besides Johnson. He gave the fuel rod to a near by grunt who made a crater where 3 Jackals once stood "how do you like that, you traiters?" yelled the grunt. The captain looked around and saw bloodshed, grunts riding on enraged brutes, elites fighting with everything they had, and when they ran out of ammo they fist fought to the death. He saw a grunt that got shot on the side of his methane mask, and the grunt flopped around like a fish gasping for air. Explosions were every where. An elite's skull was squashed by a brutes foot. The captain needed to do something or else his elites may lose faith in his judgement. He ran in, sliced a brutes head off, stabbed a Jackal into the side of the mountain, and kicked off the wall landing on a brutes head. To his surprise it was another Cheiftan like Tartarus only she was a female and had longer hair than the other brutes. She had the mark of Cheiften on her back. He was going to kill her but had another idea he took from his belt 2 plasma grenades and held them over her head. "Your brutes better cease fire or you'll die". said the captain. She hesitated and said "I could just kill you- "If I die my grenades will be triggered and blow you up" the captain said in an evil voice. " Damn you captain" said the Cheiftan.
