Near Central African Republic, planet Earth
A Lotus Anti-tank mine flew in the air and landed in the middle of the enemy forces. Once the device exploded, many bodies flew into the air. The survivors of the explosion were killed before they could recover.
The Gravity lift was still active. "All right Blue Griffin and Phoenix Team, go on inside. We will remain out here and make sure no hostiles get inside." Said Griffin Team Leader.
Acknowledgement lights winked as Team Phoenix and Blue Griffin entered the Grav lift and boarded the alien ship.
Once inside, gunfire was the first thing they all heard. From the four doors that surrounded the room, Covenant troops entered from all sides. Walter and his team activated their Jackal shields as the aliens fired their Spikers, Carbines, Plasma Pistols and Brute Shot.
Walter fired at the covenant troops at knee height, then climbed over the weapon crates, not bothering to look at the damage he caused.
He spotted a couple of Jackals and Grunts behind the crate.
Without wasting another second, Walter kicked the nearest Jackal with a tremendous amount of strength.
He turned his Rifle and fired at the remainder of the hostiles near him, who were too stunned to fire their weapons.
Kat emerged behind the Jackals. She fired her M6 pistol at the exposed necks of the vulture-like aliens.
"I need to reload." Kat said. Walter understood: She ran out of Sniper ammo during the firefight, and needed covering fire.
Walter popped his head up, and fired his Assault Rifle.
Brutes started to head toward his direction, almost all holding a spike grenade at hand.
Just as Walter was about to move, Kat got up and fired.
Three Brutes lost their eyes and lives. The other Brutes were getting shot in their backs. A plasma blade ignited moments before the head of the last Brute flew off its shoulders.
Soon afterwards, Tamara emerged with an Energy Sword in her hand.
Once the battle was over, Walter took out an ONI datapad, laid it on the control panel nearby and booted the ONI hacking program. Within time, the security systems would be destroyed, allowing them access to the ship's control functions.
"Allow me to locate the engine room." Said Achilles. After some button pressing, Achilles uploaded the images on the console to his teammates.
"All right, let's move on" ordered Achilles. "We will buy you guys some time, meet up in the hangar bay." Said Blue Griffin Leader.
Team Phoenix went in one direction, and Team Griffin headed in another.
For reasons unknown, Walter felt like he had fun killing the Covenant, but at the same time, felt guilty for thinking that way.
Walter stored his guilt away. He thought to himself "If I'm having fun butchering aliens and this is the reason I'm still alive, then I'll let this evil side of me take over for now."
Jiralhanae Captain Nartumas went over to his Scout. "Demons control the Grav lift sir." Reported the Kig-Yar.
"Demons? I hope these prove themselves to be much more efficient in combat than the previous." Thought Nartumas.
"Check your gears, we'll engage in combat shortly" ordered Nartumas.
All the Unggoys, Kig-Yars and Jiralhanae under his command checked their Fuel Rod Guns, Carbines, and even their captured human weapons.
Nartumas has always told his troops to use human weapons the same way they would use poison.
After he inspected his own weapon, he called his troops into formation; they were engaging the enemy.
The Kig-Yar was the first to engage in combat, as one lost an eye. Other Kig-Yar fired, taking out two demons before they died.
The Captain got on his Ghost, and along with some of his soldiers, went forth to try to flank the humans.
However, the most of the humans chose to come forth as some got on their vehicles and left their defense post.
He fired his Ghost at the humans, focusing on the Spartans first, leaving the marines for the rest of his soldiers.
Five Spartans went down with the combined power of his Ghost and those of his troops.
He noticed that one Spartan was aiming at his ghost with a Rocket launcher. He speeds up his Ghost, and then jumped out a second before the Rocket made impact.
He quickly brought out his Carbine and fired at the humans.
He fired few shots before sprinting to find cover. He went behind a damaged warthog, reloaded his Carbine and then went out, killing off the Spartans weakened by his troops.
One Spartan was getting near him, with a shotgun at hand. Nartumas quickly backed off and fired the rest of his Carbine, but the Spartan was still coming.
Nartumas threw the rifle at him. Surprised by the action of the Brute, the Spartan never saw what killed him: a diagonal slice from the Captain's plasma blade.
The remaining Spartans took a last stand as they entered the Grav lift, firing as they were going up into the ship.
"Its time to dine" said Nartumas. With the speed the Spartans were going up the lift, they were already dead and ripe for the taking.
The Jiralhanae Captain mounted the turret of a Gauss Warthog nearby, and fired.
He managed to take two of them out, and would have killed out two more had it not been for his unit.
He got off the Gauss cannon and activated a channel in the Covenant Battlenet.
"Chieftain, Demons have boarded your vessel. Permission to them hunt down" said Captain Nartumas over the Battlenet.
"Permission granted, now get inside, and hurry!" Replied the Chieftain.
Nartumas couldn't help smiling. "Time the moment to prove myself worthy."
