~Chapter 6: Boarding The Ship~
Master Chief jumped out the Pelican followed by Noble Six and the rest of the Marines. Noble Six was currently equiped with a Sniper Rifle which meant long-range combat. Hopefully long-range combat, a Sniper Rifle isn't it good up close in a fist fight. He followed Master Chief up to a cliff over a small group of Covenant. Sleeping Grunts mostly, a couple Elites, a couple Jackels.
"Alright, we'll stay here while the Master Chief and Noble Six take out as many targets covertly. We'll start firing when they get fired upon!" Sargeant Johnson gave the orders like he had his rank for a long time.
"I'll take out the Elite on the right, you take the one on the left." Master Chief said. Both of the Spartans aimed at their targets. "On my mark." Noble Six was ready to fire as soon os the mark came up. "Mark!" Both Spartans fired their Sniper Rifles at the same time. The two Elites fell to the ground lifeless. "Good shot Noble Six."
"Thanks sir."
They moved on the killing the rest of the Covenant in the area. The aliens on the ground began to scatter trying to figure out what was happenening. Each shot Noble Six took ended the life of one of those aliens.
"They're going for the turret!" Master Chief swung his rifle around and squezzed the trigger. Only a click. "Damn, I'm out of ammo."
The turret began firing purple pulsating rounds at Master Chief's postition. Master Chief ducked behind a rock so as not to be hit.
Johnson came over the radio. "They're taking fire, Move In Marines!"
Marines came running from the cliffside firing their Assault Rifles at whatever was moving. Some of them were screamng. Some of the roaring. Whatever it took to get their points across that they were here and they were going nowhere. Master Chief threw his Sniper Rifle and pulled the Assault Rifle from his back. "Might as well join the fight." Master Chief jumped down to the battle below.
Noble Six removed the Assault Rifle from his back and replaced it with the Sniper Rifle. "Man I hate fighting, even if it's the only thing I know." He jumped down into the frey.
Noble Six open fired on a group of Grunts who were coming around the cliff. The group of soldiers followed Master Chief and Noble six as they fought their way to the gravity lift. Once they got there, they noticed it was guarded very well.
"Let's see, they either knew we were coming or they're always over protective." Johnson looked at the turrets that were stationed around.
"Well they really aren't holding back any that's for sure." He pointed at three Elites that were standing at the base of the lift. "Two golden Elites plus the Ship Master. Then throw in the numerous troops around and more than likely they'll be flying in reinforcements, yeah this will be one hell of a fight."
"You heard him men, load up for a big fight."
Noble Six replaced the cartridge in his Assault Rifle. "I'm ready."
"Alright everyone, on my mark." Master Chief held up three fingers. Slowly each finger went down. "GO!"
Master Chief was the first one out firing his Assault Rifle. All the marines followed him yelling their own battle cries. Noble Six walked out and stared around. Bullets were flying everywhere. Both marines and Covenant were falling. Noble Six ran for the three Elites and the base of the gravity lift. He pulled his knife out and ran it into the throat of the Elite on the right. Then he turned his gun and fired into the stomache of the Elite on the right.
Something came up from behind Noble Six and knocked the guns out from his hands. Something wrapped around his throat and lifted him from the ground. It was the ship master and it had his sword ready to send through Noble Six's chest. Noble Six felt deaths embrace. He closed his eyes.
