Thanks for the reviews.
Because of a new rule I cannot respond to your reviews at this time.
Close Call
Z and Razor return to the others.
"Listen Z Tara told me all about what you and Razor had gone through in the past," said Cage.
"Cage I should have told you about Razor before this ever happened," said Z.
"Listen if you want to be with him then it's ok by me," said Cage.
"I hope we can wrap this up and move on," said Master Chief.
"Where to?" asked Tara.
"To the control room," said Master Chief.
"Sir we may have a problem with that," said a soldier.
"What do you mean?" asked Master Chief.
"Well that," said the soldier as he pointed over to a group of Covenant tanks heading their way.
"Ok, let's get out the heavy artillery, and brace our selves for another fight," said Master Chief.
There was a loud bang. Their shuttle was hit and moved slightly.
"SOME ONE FIX WHAT EVER IS WRONG WITH THE SHUTTLE!" yelled Master Chief.
"SIR WE NEED TO GET RID OF THESE GUYS BEFORE WE CAN EVEN TOUCH THE SHUTTLE!" yelled a soldier.
"THEN JUST MAKE SURE SHE CAN STILL GET OFF OF THE GROUND!" yelled Master Chief.
"YES SIR!" yelled the soldier.
The gang is now getting ready for the attack.
"Odd you still have ammo for that shot gun right," said Z.
"Oh don't worry I'm still packing," said Odd.
Tara loads her SMG. Razor loads his assault rifle. Ulrich readies his saber sword. Yumi gets her grenades ready. Cage takes out a plasma pistol. Z takes out her fuel rod gun. Jeremy hides.
"What we do is wait here, once the covenant gets out of their tanks we open fire and attack," said Z.
"Who says they will get out of their tanks," said Odd.
A blast was shot right at them.
"MOVE!" yelled Yumi.
Everyone ran out of the way of the blast. When the blast hit dirt smoke and fire went into the air. Everyone looked at where the blast hit to see a giant crater.
"Ok we defiantly don't want to get in the way of those things," said Odd.
"What was your first clue?" asked Yumi in a sarcastic tone.
Over by the ship two technicians are trying to get the left engine to fire. After a near miss from a blast Jeremy runs into the ship.
"There's not enough power running to the engine," said a technician.
"Well then what do we do?" asked the other.
"Nothing, we hope the fight goes well," said the technician.
"Why don't you just use the energy from the lasers to power the engine?" asked Jeremy.
"Are you mad, what will this shuttle use to defend itself," said a technician.
"It has rockets right," said Jeremy.
Both technicians exchanged glances and then started to reroute the power from the lasers to the engine. When they started the shuttle both engines started to hum.
"Well I'll be, it actually worked," said a technician.
"We need to tell master chief," said the other.
Outside the tanks had set up a roadblock and from behind them Elite's were storming the area. Both technicians run outside to see Ulrich slice through and Elite.
"Ok, we may have a problem," said the technician.
Yumi has now taken out her pistol and is rattling off shots. Razor is busy picking off Elite's from behind a rock. Tara is using her SMG to take out as many Elite's as possible. Z then sees something from the corner of her eye.
"ULRICH BEHIND YOU!" yelled Z.
Ulrich turns around to see and Elite pointing a plasma pistol at him. Before Ulrich can react he gets shot. Razor gets out from behind the rock and switches the assault rifle to fully automatic. As he makes his way over to Ulrich he lets out a few sprays. Yumi follows close behind. Tara drops her weapon and goes for a rocket launcher. She picks it up and takes aim at a covenant tanks.
"TARA ARE YOU NUTS. YOU'RE STANDING OUT IN THE OPEN! GET BEHIND SOMETHING!" yelled Master Chief.
Tara fires the rocket just as the tank fires a blast. Odd sees that the blast is heading right for Tara. He dashes out to her and pushes her out of the way just before the blast hits them. It hits the ground with an ear shattering bang. Odd and Tara get thrown a few feet further from where they landed when Odd pushed her out of the way. Another bang rings out when the rocket hits the covenant tank. The blast causes a domino effect destroying the rest of the covenant tanks. In response to the remaining Elite's retreat. The rest of the crew stands up and cheers. We now go over to Yumi, Ulrich and Razor.
"Ulrich stay with me ok," said Yumi with tears in her eyes.
Ulrich was in too much pain to do anything. He just kept his eyes fixed on hers.
"Come on we need to get him into the shuttle," said Razor.
Master Chief then comes up to Z.
"Z in that last attack Cage was caught in some cross fire and well…" Master Chief stopped there.
"I see," said Z as she walked away from him with tears in her eyes.
Razor and Yumi had gotten Ulrich into the shuttle and a medic was treating his wounds. Z enters and sits down; she has tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Z what's wrong?" asked Razor as he sat next to her.
"Cage was caught in the cross fire," said Z.
Razor put his arm around her and she cried into his shoulder. He knew that she cared for Cage just as much as she cared for him. Although he didn't really know Cage Razor figured he must have been a great guy. Tara and Odd were the next to get into the shuttle.
"Are you two ok?" asked Yumi.
"All thanks to Odd," said Tara.
Then there is a crackle over the radio. One of the technicians goes over to see whom it is.
"Hello," said the technician.
"S…Scar…" said a voice as the connection faded.
"That sounds like Aelita," said Jeremy.
"Then what does scar mean?" asked the technician.
There was a loud bang, and screams of dieing people. Then Master Chief and a few other soldiers run into the shuttle and shut the back door.
"GET THIS PICE OF CRAP OFF THE GROUND NOW!" yelled Master Chief.
"But sir…." the technician started.
"NOW!" yelled Master Chief.
The technician started the ship and took off. When he turned it around he saw something really big.
"That's a Scarab," said the technician.
"Or the scar as the voice put it," said the other.
"Voice what voice?" asked Master Chief.
"Aelita," said Jeremy.
The ship flew over the Scarab just nearly missing a blast shot from it.
"Damn that was close," said a technician.
The shuttle fly's on and the Scarab keeps firing until the shuttle is out of range.
Don't forget to review.
