~Chapter 11: Assault on the Control Room Part 2~
~Noble Six's POV - Time 23:00~
A volley of plasma fire came from the front of the charging Warthogs. They just shrugged the shots off as if it was nothing. The turrets of the back of the Warthogs came alive, firing shots into the crowd in front of them. Suddenly a giant blue orb came crashing down into the Warthog right next to Noble Six. It was the Warthog the Master Chief was in.
"Chief!" Noble Six called out staring back at the crash. Then he went to his headset. "Chief! Are you alive?" Static covered the radio. No answer came back. "John!"
The radio crackled a few times then Master Chief's voice answered back. "Don't worry, a Wraith mortar isn't enough to get me, you keep on going forward, me and Cortana are going straight for the Control Room!"
"Acknowledged!" Noble Six kept moving forward into the frey. Mortar fire kept raining down on them, but the agile Warthogs now had knowledge that Wraiths were on the defense, making them less likely to be hit. Noble Six jumped out of the Warthog and flew over the group in front of him. They turned to focus their fire on him, but the Warthog he jumped from ran them all down. Noble Six turned to the Wraith and ran full sprint at it. The Wraith only had one chance to fire and Noble Six nimbly jumped out the way. Once he got to the Wraith, he killed the driver inside and jumped into his seat. Noble Six turned the Wraith around and focused the fire on the on the rest of the Covenant armor.
~Master Chief's POV - Time 23:00~
Master Chief watched as flashes of blue, purple, and green flew past his visor. The Warthogs to his left and right just kept moving on through, taking everything that was shot at it. Master Chief looked over to Noble Six's Warthog. He had all his focus on the lines of enemy. It was then Master Chief noticed the Wraiths on the battlefield. Master Chief looked up at the blue mortar that was coming directly at his Warthog.
"Get out now!" Master Chief yelled at the gunner as he pushed the driver out. He saw a bright flash of the blue right before he jumped out. The Warthog exploded and went barreling forward from the momentum it was traveling. Master Chief was lucky to get away from it alive.
"Chief! Are you alive?" Noble six's voice came over his radio. Master Chief coughed and was about respond when Noble Six came of the radio again. "John!"
Master Chief picked himself up off the ground adn looked around to see that the other two from the Warthog was still alive. "You two, head back to the foot infantry and come in with them." Master chief then felt it was appropriate to respond to Noble Six. "Don't worry, a Wraith mortar isn't enough to get me, you keep on going forward, me and Cortana are going straight for the Control Room!"
"Acknowledged!"
"Alright Cortana, we're going to have a little bit of fighting on our hand." Master Chief grabbed the Assault Rifle on his back. "I'm going to sprint it."
Cortana's voice sounded on through Master Chief's helmet. "Just try to keep your head down, there's two of us in here remember?"
"Trust me, I remember." Master Chief ran forward following the Warthogs. Even though he was enhanced, he still couldn't keep up with the Warthogs.
Battle ensued in full force by the time Master Chief made it up to the skirmish. He started off by sending bullets flying into a nearby group of Grunts and Jackels. They all fell to the ground lifeless from the rain of lead. Master Chief didn't replace his clip, he just turned his aim and emptied the rest of his clip into two Elites that were about to concentrate their fire at him. After the two Elites died, Master Chief tossed a Frag Grenade behind him to act as more of a diversion than to actually do any harm. In any case, the Fragmentation Grenade exploded killing the nearby Covenant Infantry.
Master Chief quickly reloaded his Assualt Rifle and started to shoot himself a path to the Control Room. Covenant forces stood no chance against his skill, he continued until his Assault Rifle was out of ammo, in which case he dropped it to the ground and he pulled out his Pistol and began to fire rounds off from it. Continuing towards the ramp, an Elite with an Energy Sword came charging towards Master Chief. Master Chief dropped the clip from his Pistol, put a frech clip in, and spun around kicking the Elite in its stomach.
The Elite was stuned from the force of the kick. Master Chief saw a moment in which to finish his opponet off. He then sent an uppercut into the Elite's jaw forcing it to drop it's sword. Master Chief grabbed the Energy Sword before it hit the ground and then running it through the Elite's stomach. Master Chief turned to continue his sprint, but the Elite was not defeated yet. It grabbed two Plasma Grenades from its waist and lit them up. Master Chief heard the sound of the grenades igniting, so in one swift motion, he turned around and placed the barrel of the Pistol in the bottom of the Elite's mouth and pulled the trigger making the top of it's head explode.
Master Chief quickly jumped back before the Plasma Grenade had a chance to go off. After they went off, Master Chief finished shooting his way to the ramp. Once he got there, three Hunter kill-teams stood between him and the Control room.
"Cortana, we may have a problem." Master Chief put his last clip of ammo into the Pistol and retrieved a Plasma Rifle from the grasp of a nearby Elite.
Cortana's voice came in with a laugh. "I really don't think this to be a problem." Almost as soon as she said that, a large blue Wraith Mortar came crashing down on the group of Hunters, killing off two of the three kill-teams. "Noble Six said he'd be more than happy to blast you in."
"Alright, we're almost there Cortana." Master Chief ran for the two Hunters while discharging his Plasma Rifle.
~Noble Six's POV - Time 23:17~
Noble Six laid waste to the enemy Wraiths in his immediate target range. "That should free up some of the heavy fire for the Warthogs." Noble Six continued to fire a barrage of Wraith Mortars into the crowds of Covenant forces. Suddenly he was hit by a Plasma Grenade. System lights were flashing, indicating for Noble Six to get out. "What's this? A message from Cortana?"
"Noble Six, I have an imediate request for you." Cortana spoke to him through his helmet.
"What kind of request?"
"Would you like to blow a hole in the Covenant's defense of this ramp?"
"Why yes, I'd really enjoy blowing some Covenant up."
"Alright the, these are the coordinates of the enemy."
Nobel Six turned the Wraith around and elevated the cannon to fire on the indicated position. "I only have enough for one shot."
"That's all we need." Cortana's voice faded into static.
"Alright then, here goes." Noble Six pressed fire and sent a Blue Mortar flying towards the indicated position. Then he quickly jumped out of the driver's seat and rolled away as the Wraith exploded in a light show of purple and white. "Pity, I was just getting to enjoy that thing." He grabbed the Assault Rifle on his back and started to fire upon the forces around him. "HQ this is Alpha, battle has started in full force. Bravo backup is needed."
"Roger that Noble Six, sending in Bravo now."
A Note From You Author: Dear readers, what you have just read was part of the Assault on the Control room. In fact it was part two. I wanted to create an actual war-based battle in the story to show what Spartans are capable of. This chapter was focused more on Master Chief and Noble Six as they made their way through the seemingly endless waves of Covenant. This is how I envisioned this happening. Now I'm thinking of doing the next chapter in the POV of O'Reilly, Foehammer, and Johnson. Of course its still going to have Master Chief in Noble Six in the chapter, but the battle has other fronts as well. So drop me a review to tell me what you'd like to see in the next chapter or just to give praise or criticize, its all welcomed. Until next time, thanks for reading.
