A long chapter full of grief and action, enjoy….please read and review…thank you

Narrow Escape

(Master Chief is running down the halls to get to Links room)

"LINK, LINK" Cortana yelled, "sorry Chief he's not answering. How did the elites get in with out setting the alarm," Cortana asked?

"I don't know but they're probable not alone they must be black ops. Only they could have gotten in." Chief cuts a corner and sees Malone's unconscious body being dragged down the hall, Chief pulls out his side arm, (a 9mm pistol) and fires at the invisible elite. The bullet clips the elites arm, forcing him to drop his captive.

"Demon slayer," it yelled as its shield flickered. The elites camo went back up, and the elite charged. Chief fired again unable to hit the elusive beast. The elite struck Master Chief with full force and the Chief hit the ground, his pistol sent flying. Chief rolled over and pulled out his shotgun, the elite wasted no time, and again charged again. Chief fires once more, the spray of bullets hit the elite, severely damaging his shield, the camouflage went out and the elite stood there only two yards away. The Chief ran, and shot out his leg, braking the elites knee, the elite hit the floor lifted his head up, and shouted in pain, gunfire silenced him as the elites skull and brain fragments were splattered all over the walls.

"Get the hell off me you piece of shit," Links voice hollered over the com unit, gunfire rang out and the com went silent.

"Chief Step on it I think Link needs our help."

outside the covenant army waiting for their chance

"What's taking so long," hollered a golden elite

"Yes yes, we want to kill the demon slayer," squeaked a nearby grunt.

A jackal started to advance toward the building, plasma bolts struck the ground in front of her, the female jackal looked over, a look of submission filled her as the golden elite stared at her, "get back to your squad," he yelled, the jackal ran towards her platoon leader, a tall and noble white elite, and fell back into rank, as the golden elite turned his sites on the building, the white elite glanced back to see the female jackal cursing herself. "Do not fret, we all want revenge against the humans, but you must wait for orders, as do we all." The jackal looked up gave a small smile nodding towards the elite, then focused on the building. As she waited for the orders she thought of how her husband had died, he was very noble and well known among the other jackals, a hero to most.

female jackals flash back

A grenade had blown, knocking the jackals shield out, but he refused to retreat like the others, his platoon leader shouting at him, but the raging gunfire and explosions made it impossible to hear. He charged up his plasma pistol and fired, a marine screamed in pain as the extreme heat of plasma burnt the humans lower torso, he looked up to see the demon, and charge up his plasma pistol again, but before he could fired the demon shot him in the chest with a 9mm, the bullet dug in causing extreme pain, but the jackals adrenaline helped him forget it. He took aim and fired, the plasma bolt struck a near by marine, the marine died instantly. Another bullet hit him, this time in his arm knocking his pistol from him. The pain was too much, he collapsed to his knees breathing heavily, the next thing he new he was scooped up in yellow armored arms; his platoon leader had run to save him. He looked up and smiled at the elite, the elite looked down, and was hit by a plasma weapon. His mandible had been clipped and the elite screamed as he ran back to the drop ship with his teammate in hands.

"Are you ok sir", the jackal asked? The elite look down, his mandible was burnt, and said, "I'm fine how about you," the jackal looked up from his wounds, gasps of breathe consumed the silence, "I think I'm ok," the jackals wife came over and hugged him, then backed away to look at him, the blood flowed from his body at an alarming rate. As the drop ship came to a landing the jackal fell limp, the female jackal looked for support from her leader but instead found only grief.

Nearly four months had past, and the female jackal looked again at her platoon leader, who was still strange to look at, as his armor had changed, a promotion for his acts of bravery and past victories had led him to become an ultra elite, his white armor shined in the sunlight. "Ol, half jaw," she muttered, the name was well known through out the entire covenant army.

Link is getting up after the long confrontation with a black elite

Link slowly got up, his body aching with pain from the fight, Master Chief blasted through the door shotgun at the ready, Link whirled around plasma sword in hand.

"Are you ok Link," asked Chief while he lowered his weapon.

"Yeah I'm ok just sore as hell," Link answered with a dull smile

"We gotta go Chief, the covenant have us surrounded, we must gather the remaining marines and go," said Cortana. "Ok marines we need to go, everyone get to the side exit, the Master Chief, Link and I are going to blow the Tech center," Cortana yelled over the com.

"Roger that Cortana"

"Why do we need to blow the Tech center," Link asked?

"Because if the covenant got their hands on our technology they can make it better then ever, this helps us by giving them less of an advantage," answered Chief,

"Echo 4/19 do you hear me, this is Cortana, come in"

"I hear you loud and clear Cortana, what do you need?

"We need a pickup ASAP, the covenant have found our position, and we need extraction on the double.

Roger that fire team Charlie, foe hammer out. As the Master Chief, and Link got to the tech center the door was wide open, and private Yuri stood there with blood gushing out between his hands, and a dead black elite laying on the floor,

"What happened here," asked Chief, looking at Private Yuri and then at the elite.

"It was going through the our tech gear sir, so I came in and attacked it, I got me good sir right in the stomach I don't think I'll be going anywhere."

"You'll make it, don't worry. now were is the c4," asked Chief looking around, on the counter, "never mind I got, Ok Link take Yuri and get to the eastern exit, I'll be there soon."

"Ok, come on Yuri we need to go," as Link supported Yuri with his shoulder they went as fast as they could to there destination,

"Ok Chief, I think that's that now lets get the hell outta here," as Master Chief ran down the corridor he hit the detonator, the explosion shook the entire building. As Chief finally got to the exit point he saw about eight marines had survived in all.

"OK marines lets go," Johnson shouted. Malone opened the door and hail of plasma bolt came at him.

"Holy shit," Malone screamed as he slammed the door shut, were surrounded what are we gonna do?

"I'll go," said Yuri, "I'm finished anyway, might as well put in one final effort," Yuri looked around, "You there, give me that rocket launcher, I'll stall those bastards long enough for you guys to get to the pelican." Yuri gathered all his strength and lifted the rocket launcher on his shoulder, "ok got my assault rifle, got the rocket launcher, I'm all set."

"Give them hell marine…you wont be forgotten," Cortana said with a sad tone.

"Ok on three, one….two….three," Yuri busted out the door screaming like a lunatic, "you will die covenant bastards," plasma bolts flying everywhere.

The female jackal POV

A rocket hit a grunt; the explosion rocked the ground and killed quite a few covenant. The female jackal activated her shield as rocks and dirty flew everywhere. The human was still charging firing his weapon non-stop. The bullets flew in, the sound of shields crackling, and shouts of pain coming from nearby jackals and grunts. Filled her ears. The attack seemed to last forever, another rocket came, this time striking a red elite head on, purple blood hit his platoon like a wave. Then the golden elite throw a plasma grenade, it hit his foe, sticking to his belly, but by the time anyone had time to react the human wrapped his hands around the elite like a giant bear hug, screams for help rang from the elites mouth, but it was too late, the blast engulfed them both, in a cloud of dirt, blood, and golden shards, and as the smoke cleared the only thing left of the humans, was an aircraft shrinking in the distance.

(((I really don't know how that elite got his jaw blown off, but that's how I think it happened… if anyone knows what really happened please tell me.)))
