L04 ran forwards and halted, as did L03 by his side. They saw around 6 rocks, but unnaturally, 2 of them moved.
"Hunters!" L04 shouted.
L03 whipped out a shotgun and shot the nearest hunter. It lifted it's gun and charged the beam. L03 was clear of it before it even fired. The beam lanced through a trashed warthog, and melted the armour. The warthog exploded, flew into the air from it's own explosion and hit the other hunter, setting it alight. It started waving around, and collapsed, burning. L04 coughed at the smell of burned plastic. He whipped out his S2 AM sniper rifle and fired through the hunter's exposed area, he fired 3 more times, reloaded and the hunter hit the ground.
L04 Looked up and saw 5 phantoms heading for them.
"That was round 1, L03, their bringing their friends!" L04 said.
On board UNSC ship Tree of Fire.
L02 ran with L01 in his arms, running to a cryo bay. The ship shuddered again.
The ship was taking heavy hits from a CCS Class battle cruiser, but was holding out.
He reached a cryo pod, lifted the lid with his hands, put L01's body inside and closed it. He darted down to the bridge.
He was almost there, when a huge chunk of the floor above collapsed and blocked the corridor.
"SHIT!" L02 shouted. He spun round, to see three elites with energy swords.
"Oh just excellent, lucky me."
He drew an MA5C assault rifle, screamed and fired out the now charging elites.
Sergeant Linker's POV.
Linker stepped out of the Sleeping quarters, and took a plasma shot to the side. His fear had happened. The covenant had boarded. He jumped under a bed, as about 4 elites walked in, one with a plasma rifle, three with energy swords. He held his breath, and waited for them to leave.
Oh hey, sorry about cliff-hanger for them all but, I really am tired at the moment. Please rate and review. Thanks!
