Chapter 3: The Trip and An
Armory.
"Oh, God..." moaned Nicole. Her bladder was
full, and her skin itched, but she wanted to be as far away from the
Flood as possible.
"What?" asked the other SPARTAN,
blowing away a Combat Form.
"Nothing."
"Cut the
crap," growled the Chief, turning the wheel to the left. The
other seven 'Hogs followed him. He pulled over, and hopped out. He
gazed in awe at the secure building before him. "We're staying
in there, Chief?" asked Nicole.
"Yes. Get back in the
'Hog," he ordered, jumping in himself. He pulled back, and
jumped over the small pedestal blocking the entrance. He drove up the
stairs. There were 3 boxes there. Why not open 'em? The other seven
veichles pulled in behind him. They parked the 'Hogs in a order which
they could drive out easily, and checked their weapons. "We're
safe here," the Chief said, and checked his weapon, "I saw
some boxes on the level before us. Go down and haul 'em up. Johnson,
take about nine marines and do it."
"Sir!" Sarge
Saluted, and picked nine marines. They ran off down the stairs, and
grabbed a box. They hauled it up. "Chief... your not gonna
believe this... theres weapons, food, water, ammo, everything we
need!" said the stunned Johnson. The Chief hopped up with his
alternated body, and peeked in. "Damn straight, get those other
three boxes up here!"
They did as ordered, and soon, they had
about 30 MA5B Assault rifles, 70 silencers, 20 Snipers, 4 Jackhammer
launchers, around 90 to 100 pistols, and even 40 shotguns. "We
have ourselves an armory," grinned the Chief under his helmet.
He took a sniper itself, and took around 6 clips of ammo. "Alright,
Johnson, Nicole, and..." he pointed at the lone SPARTAN, "you,
grab some weapons, and haul ass. We're gonna set up a patrol."
Nicole
took a dozen frags, a MA5B assault rifle, a silencer, and pistol
ammo. Johnson slung a Shotgun across his back, and held a Jackhammer
launcher in his hand. The lone SPARTAN, however, took two MA5B
assault rifles, two silencers, a sniper, and a pistol. He slung a
baker's dozen of frag grenade slung in his ammo pouches, and pocketed
seven clips of ammo. John cocked his eyebrow at the man. He was
silent, but he was a trained killer. They checked their weapons, and
took a 'Hog. They removed the turret, and so two people could fit in
the back. They set the turret up as a defence perimiter, and a marine
manned it. Next to him was a sniper, behind him a Jackhammer
Launcher.
The squad of four took the edited Warthog, and drove
out. Johnson and the other SPARTAN sat in the back. Nicole in
shotgun, and John driving. He splattered an unlucky Carrier form, and
sighted a building far away. He drove to it, and jumped out.
"Everyone, take the fastest firing weapons, and slap silencers
on them. You, hand me an assault rifle," demanded the Chief,
extending his hand to the other SPARTAN. He dropped three clips of
ammo, a MA5B assault rifle, and a silencer into his hand. John
slapped the silencer on, and loaded the weapon. Two clips. They
assembled around the door, and John tossed a frag in. BOOSCH! An
unlucky carrier form exploded. "Go, Go, GO!" shouted the
Chief, firing an expertly three round blast into a combat form,
setting it down for good. Johnson popped an infection form with the
butt of his shotgun, Nicole using a Frag as a brass knuckle, and the
SPARTAN using a combat knife. The fight took fifteen minutes, and the
entire half of the building was cleared out. They ran to a hall, and
stopped. Out came the noise of plasma. "Covenant. Wait, let them
wear each other down, then kill the survivors." They took this
advantage to check their equipment, and five minutes passed. They ran
in, the door sliding open. Inside were two elites, three grunts, and
five combat forms. A rapid-fire burst of all the weapons left them
down for good. John scanned the room around him. There was no exits,
except for the one they entered in. "You, bubbleboy"
Johnson pointed to the other SPARTAN, "Gimme a clip of ammo and
two frags." The SPARTAN wordlessly did it. Johnson set them up
against a suspicious part of the wall, and stood back. "Everyone,
get back," he ordered, and fired a Jackhammer Rocket at the
pile. They exploded, a door opening up.
"Chief, we got
ourselves a couple of prisoners..." grinned Nicole, switching to
stun
rounds.
Back
at the base, a marine with the dogtags 'Takeshi Onia', or Onia for
short, was giving orders for an armory.
"You, yes you! Take
that load O' shotguns, and set 'em up against the wall, butt up. Aye,
like tha'. No, watch that water! We need as much as we can get! Yeh,
put it there. There we go- take 'em peaches and throw them- SET THEM
actually- with the water. Not in the water, AGAINST the water. Like
tha'. Okay, take 'em rocket launchers, set them across of the
shotugns, and- NO! YOU RETARD! Gah, thats gonna be less rations for
ya, ya faggot!" A poor, scared marine had fired off a
Jackhammer, almost blowing his legs off. "Someone get him a
medkit..." A marine brought up a medkit, and bandaged his legs.
The marine unloaded a sniper, and gave it to him as a crutch. "Oi,
someone has good brains aboot them! Alright, everyone, take a break.
Get some rations and rest, its gonna be a hell when those four come
back." Everyone did as ordered, and three men patrolled the
area, switching out every four
hours.
That was only chapter THREE of the new saga! I'm gonna say there'll be about 20 chapters or so, maybe one every day, possibly two. Pe8ce!
