Slephir System, Orbit Around Unknown Rebel Planet
As Steven and his men reached sector seven and ran out of the grav lift, all he could see was Hell. Blood was spattered everywhere, and bodies hung and laid all over the room. All he could do was close his eyes until he heard the clatter of AP shells, or armor-piercing. He looked to where he thought the battle was ensuing and ran to the end of the hall. He stood at the end of the corner and peered around it. He saw three huge beasts tearing through a group of marines. There were also two crewman laying dying on the floor and crying for their mommies.
As soon as Steven looked, the two front behemoths crushed the crewmen's skulls with their feet. Steven looked away as blood and brain spattered the floor. He turned to his squad and thought up a plan. He had three marines set up a barricade of crates in front of them and had two turrets placed behind. As the team setup a pair of hunters ran by and looked at them. Since the hunters were taught the human language one said, "We will assist you in your counter- offensive." And setup behind the barricade. The rest of the squad formed up behind the crates too as Steven turned the corner and called the marines back
As they turned the corner the monsters behind them followed. Steven and the marines got behind the crates just as the monsters turned the corner behind them. The turrets opened up almost immediately. The marines waited as the hunters charged up their guns and fired. As the two plasma bolts impacted on the huge beasts they fell back and died. Steven ad the others hopped over the barricade and went back down to the corner of the room and turned. As they ran through the hall Steven looked at the floor where the crewman had been. Their faces were flat and their was a hole in their heads.
They ran past the bodies and into the next room. It was worse then the last room. There were about five ODST's fighting for their lives in the room. There were already four dead crewmen inside the room, and two with M6C's. Steven called back the crewmen and told them to head back to the room they just came from. Steven watched as the two crewmen ran back into the room and then turned and looked at the two behemoths. He raised his Battle Rifle and put the 2x sight on one of the monsters heads. He pulled the trigger and three AP bullets spat out of the tube. The monster fell backwards. The marines looked back at Steven and did the same to it. After about three minutes of shooting the monster it finally gave up and died.
The marines got up and looked at Steven. Suddenly there was a loud BOOM and everybody fell. As they started to get up, they started sliding down the hallway. Steven noticed that they were in an escape pod bay. Falcon's voice came over the loud speakers and said, "All personal abandon ship. I repeat all personal abandon ship. There were pods in the bay. The hunters and crewmen ran up behind Steven and looked at him. As they continued sliding Steven had as many of his he could get into the first pod and everyone else in the second. As the pods blasted out Steven looked at the back pod and noticed that these pods were able to fly instead of soar. They flew to the Covenant flagship. He noticed that there were Phantoms coming in and going out of her. They flew in and got out.
Steven looked around at all the infantry. Even more were coming in. Even Spec Ops teams. Spartans too. He knew what was happening. They were bugging out.
