Roughly two dozen miles from where the outpost that Blue team just cleared raged a hellish fight. In the strongest sense of the word hellish. The corpses of man and alien burned with crimson energy as they walked. Legs that were once broken now stitched themselves back together with gross results. The result being a mangled tangle of flesh, metal, and blood. All the same they walked and ran with these. Flesh overtook the aliens armor as it locked the armor into the flesh. Overgrown infected cursed flesh graphing the pieces of metal into their bodies. Their bodies mutated into freakish designs of what they once were. That was saying a lot for the flesh that the held before. Their weapons becoming part of their arms as their flesh sealed them to their bodies. All the same they moved forward. Shooting and killing all that was not like them, save the covenant that they now fought beside.
Through the stone valley marines fired randomly into the demonic covenant. Blow off arms and legs, but they continued to come at them. As a marine reload what was once a grunt ran at him and tackled him to the ground. Its fingers then began to claw at the marine. Ripping apart his face and chest while he screamed. A fellow marine shot his shotgun into the back of the demon grunt, blowing off its fin, and only then did it paused. The gas that it once had to breath poured out from the wound almost as much as they blood that flowed. It walked towards the marine who then put two shells into its chest and face to stop it.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." He said as he breath hard. A carbine rifle shot went into his lower leg and he fell to the ground as a Jackal stood in a tree. It seemed to chuckle as a transformed human walked up behind him. He turned around to face the faceless creature. "Fuck…"
The creature bit into his neck and pulled away a sliver of his neck. He collapsed out of the pain as the creature swallowed. It then bit into the other side of his neck and did the same. All they while he still lived. Then it bit into his forehead, only then did he finally die. After he was dead the creature got back up and began to walk jaggedly toward the other living marines as lasers, needles, and bullets flew through the air. A man got his arm ripped off buy one of the demon turned Spartans before it ripped off his head with a roar. A brute turned ran at a warthog and jumped onto its gun and ripped the gunner practically in half before ripping the top part of the drivers head off; leaving a flapping jaw. The warthog hit a boulder and flipped forward and crushed the brute underneath.
A marine sniper head was blown off buy a jackal sniper. Fall backward and leaving his flank open to allow other possessed to come up and kill the three other marines that was with him. A group of turned marines jumped onto a Spartan as a possessed jackal shot at his back. He fell to the ground and a possessed elite with a plasma sword stabbed him through the chest before running forward. The blade dragging through the Spartan and cutting his head in half. This carnage was everywhere as the marines were trapped between the possessed and the covenant. Trapped between a rock and a bigger rock was the situation.
"What was the human saying?" A brute asked one of his fellow brutes with a chuckle as they stood next to a lip of a cliff about twenty feet tall; they were about half a mile from a large opening where there was a large amount of fighting. Where they were there were trees coming out of the stone. "Like fish in a barrel?"
"Yeah." The other brute said and the two of them connected their forearms together with a laugh. Then from the lip that they stood under there was a sound of a plasma pistol going off. A second later the headless corpse of a jackal splatted in front of them. "What the?"
500 pounds of pissed of titanium and hellish metal then fell on top of one of the brutes and stomped its head into the stone earth. The second brute pulled up its mauler and the Doomslayer pushed its elbow up and had the barrel go into jaw of the brute before forcing the brute to pull the trigger, blowing off its own head. The DoomSlayer then took the Mauler and ran forward. A possessed grunt turned to him but before its head was halfway turn its face was blown off and before the body hit the ground he came up to it, activated a grenade on it, and kicked the body about ten feet into a ground of grunts. An explosion later they were all dead. Without looking he shot twice off to the side as two possessed jackal ran at him.
One of the possessed jackals with an energy shield shot at him. He ran around the shield, dashed in, and grabbed the edge of it while putting the end of the mauler on its elbow and blowing it off. As it reeled back he blew off its head. He then ran at a brute as he shot at him. He blocked all shots with the shield and once he got up to the brute he destroyed its shields with two shots. The brute roared before the DoomSlayer kicked it in the stomach and while it was bent over he wrapped him arm around the brute's neck, and fell backwards into a boulder to smash its skull in.
The shield was now red and a possessed jackal with a carbine rifle shot at him off to the side. He ran around and threw the shield like a Frisbee and decapitated it. As the shield passed through its neck it vanished. Leaving only a severed arm. While running a hunter charged him. He jumped over it with a double jump but when he landed it slammed its shield arm into him and he was sent flying into a tree.
He shook his head and rolled off to the side as it sent a massive blast into the tree that he was just at. The DoomSlayer rolled his shoulders and reached into his warp pack and ran at the hunter. As he dodged another blast he pulled out his chainsaw. With a single pull it came to life as the hunter jumped at him. He spun around to the side of the hunter and had the teeth go into the exposed flesh of the hunter and had it rip and tear straight through it. Cutting it in half.
The second hunter came at him and knocked him back into a gore next as it let hells energy seep into the world around him. Which kind of pissed him off even more so. He pushed himself up and looked around and saw he was surrounded by at least 50 possessed within a 20-meter radius. One of the brutes chuckled as they aimed their spike repeater at him. Then something happened. The energy coming out of the nest began to form near him. Into a sort of red sphere almost. This made all of the covenant and possessed pause. He pushed himself slowly up straight before jetting out his left fist and punching the orb.
The red energy flowed through his suit and after a moment he had sort of crimson mist coming off of his armor. He jerked his neck carefully to each side as he put away his chainsaw. He brought his fist to each other and cracked his knuckles. He slowly walked forward and the possessed beings began to jerk back and cower a bit. The brute that was aiming at him also felt his aim being shaky.
"Oh…. Shit…." The brute whimpered. Then the DoomSlayer dashed in.
