The four airborne soldiers made their way through the thick brush. They were coming up on a fork in the road. "Thunder." Came a light whisper. The four quickly flew around and put their rifles up. "Lighting." Replied McLann. Eight airborne came out of the brush. McLann looked at them. It was Able Company. Red, Jones, Jackson, Donaldson, McKnight, Fox, Geraldson, and Dickson looked at him. "Man is it good to see you sir." Whispered Dickson. "Same to you. I've picked up three Dog Company soldiers." McLann looked behind him at the three.

He then turned back around. "So what do we now sir?" asked Red. The group ducked down even farther as a barrage of Covenant anti-air machine guns went off behind them. "I think that should answer your question private." McLann quietly laughed out and got up. He turned around and ran over to a hedgerow and got down. The rest of the troops ran up behind him. They all peeked their heads over the hedgerow. A pair of Covenant heavy MG anti-air turrets fired off round after round. The three Dog Company troops slid down some and began checking their rifles. McLann slid down as well and thought for a second. "Alright this is what we do. Red, Jones, with me. Jackson get your thirty set up inside that downed Pelican cockpit. Break the window as silently as possible and get ready. McKnight, Fox, and Geraldson, suppressing fire on my command. Dickson and Donaldson take these Dog boys and circle around them. Once you hear the first gunshot, come in and take that other gun from the flank. Everyone understand?" ordered McLann while pulling the reloader on his rifle. "Understood sir." They said. Everyone began setting up in their positions.

McLann threw up his fist and looked around. "Red, Jones, grenades on my command." He said. They nodded and let their rifles fall down on their slings. They pulled out grenades and pulled the pins and held them in the air. He slapped his hand back down and the two threw their grenades.

The grenades landed next to a pair of Elites and blew them to shreds. The others opened up and the sound of Jackson's thirty caliber could be heard for miles. McLann and the other two jumped in and took aim and let loose. Dickson and Donaldson jumped in behind the second gun. The Dog Company marines came in moments later. McLann aimed at a grunt trying to pull out a plasma grenade and popped a shot into his forehead. McLann smirked and began tearing threw an Elite. Red and Jones began picking off grunts running away. Dickson threw a grenade at a small group of Jackals and blew them away. As Jackson cleared out mostly the last bit of them on his thirty, McLann stood up and walked over to Donaldson. "Let's get some C4 in these things. We don't need them tearing up anymore of our boys." Ordered McLann. As he finished, a blast of green plasma sizzled its way by his face. He turned around and looked at a wide open field.

Two or three more anti-air turrets lay spread out on the field. Also with what looked like forty Elites. "Donaldson, hurry the fuck up with that C4. The rest of you get the hell out of here and see if you can find a marine HQ." McLann said eyes wide. They nodded. They turned around and ran off. "Done sir." Said Donaldson. "Alright let's get going. I don't want to hang around here any longer." Ordered McLann. He raised his rifles and started running backwards. Right as he passed the hedgerow, He jumped up and turned around. He and Donaldson caught up with the rest of Able and the three Dog boys in a short matter of time.

They kept walking for almost two hours and came up to a small marine assembly area. ODST from all companies walked around. The last three Able Company from first platoon walked over. "Hey, Donaldson, McKnight, where you two been. We've been waiting for you." Laughed Mike. Matt walked over and greeted them all. And then came Walker. "Sir, HQ is farther back behind us. Captain Steel wants you up there ASAP." Walker informed McLann. McLann nodded and walked off. He saw second platoon and walked up to the CO. "Joe, with me. I think HQ is looking for us. Steel wants us down there right now. Seems like we're might need both platoons on this one." Joe turned around and followed McLann to the HQ. Steel and some other CO's stood around a small table. A map lay on it. Steel looked up at the two. "Ah, just the man I wanted to see." He said.

"I heard that you and some of your platoon took some time to take out some anti-airs." Said Steel. "Yes sir, we did." Replied McLann. "I also understand that there were four more turrets standing. You did not take these out. Why is that?" "Sir," McLann started. "Twelve men could not take out an entire forty elites." Steel looked at him. "Well then since you have both of your platoons at this time. I would like for you to take those four turrets out. They're firing onto our boys landing on the Eastern coast. Assemble your men ASAP and move out in five minutes. Dismissed."
