Chapter 4
CATCH-A-RIDE!
A mortar shell crashed down a few feet from the edge of town, my eye lids flew open. "Maya! Enemy fire!" I yelled to wake her up as I threw my clothes on, then my vest and ball cap. Check my ammo, clip grenades to vest.. I went through my usually check in my head as I hurried.
As soon as I had my back pack on, I sprinted to the Crimson Raider's HQ. "Roland! What's going on?" I yelled over the commotion. "Angel, Hyperion's AI computer hacked into Sanctuary's shield and disabled it. Now loader's and mortar crews are moving in." He replied. "I have an idea." Lillith said and then ran to the center of town, "Scooter! Get this city off the ground!" She yelled into her echo recorder. "What? Off the ground?" I asked. Scooter ran over and starting punching buttons on pillars that suddenly appeared from the ground.
The ground roared and the city began rising. Scooter smiled and yelled, "Catch a riiiide!"
Suddenly the blue light flashed again and I was standing next to Maya on the out skirts of Sanctuary watching the city rise into the sky. Lillith came through on my echo, "Sorry bro, make it back to Sanctuary, it's time we end this." She said before the signal cut out and Sanctuary disappeared into subspace. "She's right, this ends now." I said as I dropped my bag and dug out my UNSC helmet. "Carsten, what is that and what are you talking about?" Maya asked. I powered on the helmet's HUD and comm link. "Corporal Michaelson to The Pillar of Autumn, come in Autumn." I sent over the encrypted channel. "Corporal. We read you, go ahead." The AI named Cortanna replied. "Cortanna, so good to hear your voice. Lock onto a ground force with an electronic signature, android foot soldiers, mortar teams and foot soldiers, barage with strike package gamma nine omega." I transmitted.
"Copy that Corporal, firing now." I heard, then five minutes after I heard massive explosions in the distance and then my echo communicator buzzed, the I.D. read Handsome Jack, "Oh what'd you do that for? I was having fun." The voice said. "Handsome jack I presume? Listen, you need to knock off this cluster fuck anti crimson raiders shit right now and understand. A covenant fleet is headed for Pandora, and you can either join the UNSC as a humanity neutral planet or we can crush you and defend Pandora for every other human on this planet who wants to live." I said.
"Well then." He replied. "I'll have to think about it."
