"All squads, report in"

"Alpha Squad here"

"Charlie squad here"

"Delta squad reporting in"

The commander cocked his head to one side.

"Bravo squad report in" The Commander said starting to get anxious "I repeat Bravo squad report in NOW!"

The only sound that he heard was the static of the comm. link

"Bravo squad do you read me?" He said again hoping

But he was received only by static

"Omega squad…Report to the bridge NOW!" He said knowing now what had to be done.

The briefing had been the same lack of information it had always been. They knew little of Bravo's situation. All they did know is that they were deployed on Ascension; a radar communication center high on a mountain. They were stationed there to keep the covenant from regaining the dish.

The members of Omega squad had been assembled from the best Troops in every weapons type. Commander Evans was a specialist in middle to long range warfare. The second in command was Alex Pence he was a demolitions expert. Then there was Amanda who was the heart of the squad, her jokes and ideas often kept the others going she knew her shotgun's every flaw and talent. Then there was Dom the sniper he was one of the quietest member of the squad but he was a crack shot with his sniper rifle. Ben is Dom's spotter he has the best eye sight and can use his BR like a surgeon uses his scalpel. Finally there was Lendee she was the close range warfare master, her old squad leader used to say "If they ever got close Lendee would be there to cut them down".

The Squad headed out with two warthogs. Command was in the center of City 17 one of the last human strong holds on Stretch. (ok I'll admit that is a bad joke) And Ascension was on the very outskirts of Stretch. It would take 3 days of hard driving to get there.

Day 1:

"So Amanda, what with you and Matt?" Said Ben

"Fk off" She replied

"I was just asking"

Day 2:

"... and no I don't think if you shot a grunt in the foot it would cry. Why do you even want to know?" Replied the Commander to Lendee's stupid question.

"Jesus, what kind of freak are you?" asked Alex

Day 3:

"Hey, Matt you know that everyone knows you like Amanda." Said Alex

"Yeah, so what about it?" He replied

"Nuthin"

Finally after 3 annoying days of stupid questions they arrived at Ascension, ready for what ever lay ahead.

"Dom what do you see?" whispered Matt

"Let me put it this way, chances of Bravo being alive…..zip."

"St! How can you tell?"

"Well the 5 bloody bodies in the middle helps."

Matt knew they had to take the dish back because if they didn't the covenant could call for reinforcements. He informed the rest of the squad of their predicament. They were ready and he knew.

It was time. He held up 3….then 2... 1!

"Go, go, GO!" He whispered trough the comm. Link.

"Dom start picken' off."

" yes sir"

4 Spartans jumped 3 meters up onto the middle of the dish. The commander and Bens BRs started putting up head shots left and right. Amanda and Lendee ran ahead to get the best use of the very close range weapons. Alex blew down the 3 banshees patrolling the skies. They ran as one up the ramp leading to the main hub.

"Alex I want this door open now" Yelled Matt

"Finally something to blow up." Said Alex happily

With the door blown the 4 Spartans ran in destroying any aliens they found.

Till….

"What The Fk Is This?" Yelled the Commander
