Penn took off his helmet, and sat down. He got some curious looks from the others.
"So that's what you were doing!" York said, as Penn sat down.
"Yep, you like it?"
"Dude, it looks fucking badass!" York exclaimed
"Thanks, that's kinda what I was going for." Penn said, grinning.
"And how exactly did you do this?!" Carolina shot him.
"I uh, um-me and, uhhhh- ok, ok. York helped me into the storage bay, and I took some stuff."
"York!" Carolina shouted at the tan Freelancer.
"Hey! I didn't know what he was doing! It's not my fault!"
"Yeah, but you are the one who let him in." Wash said, earning a glare from York.
"Hey, all York did was let me in, he didn't know what for." Penn told the, all.
They continued their breakfast, with Carolina chewing Penn out, about breaking protocol. After they had finished, the others were called to the briefing room.
Penn went back to his room, knowing he wasn't going on the mission. He wasn't sure when he was going to go on a mission. Hell, he didn't know if he would, after what had happened to him. He sighed, and sat on his bed.
He had the day off, and the others were on a mission. He was bored. He just laid around in his room, until FILLS called him to the Directors office. He got up, and walked to the Directors office. He did not expect this to be good.
After FILLS let him in the door, Penn stood at attention.
"At ease, Pennsylvania." The Director told him, getting up from the chair he was sitting in. Penn waited, as the Director brought up a holo-map in front of them.
The structure he was looking at, looked like some sort of warehouse. Except he could see the alterations that had been done to it. Turrets had a clear line of sight at everything, from the roof. He could also see land mines had been marked on the ground. Somebody really wanted to secure this place.
"As you already know, the other agents were deployed on a mission earlier. This was their location. We encountered unexpected, problems. They need reinforcements. We have chosen you. You will be dropped via drop pod, to their location. Go to the armory, load up with heavy equipment, they have tanks. You will be deployed in ten minutes, dismissed.
Penn stood, shocked for a moment. They were in trouble, and wanted him? He couldn't believe it.
"I would suggest you get moving." The Director told him.
Seth ran back to his room, and armored up. He then proceeded to the armory. He hadn't actually been in there yet, so he was excited. He came to thick blast doors, and FILLS let him in.
He looked around the large room. It had every single weapon you could imagine. There were mini guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, pistols, shotguns and knives. There was also a lot of ammo. Penn started picking weapons.
For himself he chose a sniper, an assault rifle and two magnums. Then, he picked up a rocket launcher, a spartan laser, and a mini gun for separate drop pods. He was about to leave, when something strange caught his eye.
It looked like the hilt of a covenant energy sword, but different. He wasn't sure why, but he picked it up, and took it with him. He headed for the drop pod bay.
It was just off from the pelican bay. He walked into a small room, with the pod in the middle. There were smaller pods around it. He loaded his heavy weapons, and extra ammo, into the smaller pods. Then got into the large one. A single thought crossed his mind. It made him smile.
"This is gonna be fun."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"North! Take out those turrets!" South yelled to her brother.
"I can't get a shot! Unless you like the idea of me getting blown up by a tank!" He yelled back. As if to emphasize this, a tanks shell landed near their position.
They had split into two teams. Team one consisted of York, Carolina, Tex Wyoming, and C.T. Team two was Wash, South, North and Maine.
Team one was supposed to be completing the objective, while team two provided support, and a distraction. It was going good, until the tanks came. Team one was already inside, but team two was pinned down.
"North, reinforcement is now available. Throw the marker anywhere." A voice came over North's helmet speakers. He held a small device in his hand.
"Drop is ready!" He yelled to them.
"Then fucking throw it!" South screamed. North stood up, and threw the small device on a near tank. He crouched, as it fired at him. They waited, until a streak of fire came down from the sky.
It landed right on the tank, and both were engulfed in flames. They freelancers just stared at the epic carnage. Then, a glowing figure walked out of the flames.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Penn could feel the gravity, as he free fell in the pod. He felt the gravity fluctuate, as he hit the ground. The door popped open, and smoke filled the pod. He had landed on a tank?!
"Om, activate the shield." He said, as a glowing outline surrounded his figure. The flames wrapped around his body, but the shield protected him. He kept walking straight hoping to clear the flames, and get a clear view of the battle at hand.
He finally hit open ground, and looked around. Two scorpion class tanks were both aiming at him. Activating his HUD, he rolled forward, dodging both shells that exploded behind him. He decided to take the left.
Sprinting straight at it, he vaulted over its top, and landed behind it. A drop pod fell beside him, and popped open. Inside was the rocket launcher. He picked it up, and shot both rockets at the tank. It was instantly blown to metal scrap.
The other tank shot him, and Penn flew back. The shell hadn't actually hit him, but the force of the explosion was what had knocked him back. He stood up, and saw his rocket launcher a few yards to his right. He was about to garb it, when a tank shell got to it first.
He turned to the other tank. It was about fire, and Penn waited for it. As the shell left its barrel, Penn was already moving. He jumped onto the main cannon. The driver tried to throw him off, but he had magnetic boots. Penn pulled the pin on a grenade, and tossed into the tanks barrel.
He jumped off, and was thrown forward as the second tank exploded. He got back on his feet, and looked up.
The men on the turrets had turned their attention to him. Penn took out his sniper, as they unloaded on him. His shield held, but it wouldn't last long. With Omicron helping(because he sucked with a sniper) He aimed in, and started taking out the turret operators.
He had used up almost all of his ammo, when the last man went down. Penn looked back, and saw team two walking toward him.
"Thanks for the save." Wash said, walking up to him.
"No prob, it was fun!" He exclaimed.
"I don't mean to break up the celebration, but we have company!" South shouted, as multiple enemy pelicans dropped down.
A whole army of insurrectionists now stood before them.
