Back To The Battle Field

After leaving the hospital we went to the fast-travel, and traveled to the slab territory to meet brick. "Big guy, we'll have some troops incoming, inform your guys." I said as I pulled out my UNSC helmet and called up to the Autumn. "Go ahead Corporal." Cortanna said. "Green light on the troop landings. I repeat, Green light, drop the marines!" I transmitted to the Autumn. I quickly heard the reply, "Received Corporal. Deploying now. ETA until boots on the ground, 30 minutes."

We marched for twenty minutes and started seeing drop pods hit the atmosphere as the autumn launched our troop drops. Soon we heard shots start to pop off in the distance. "Covenant and local." I said. "How do you know?" Gaige asked. "Hear that electronic ping after every other shot? Plasma weapons firing." I said watching the hills as several thousand UNSC Marines began hitting the deck.

"Corporal, ready for combat." One of the Marines, a Sergeant Johnson saluted as he hit the deck, rifle cradled in his arms. "Sergeant, we've got about a fucking galaxies worth of Covenant and Insurrectionists headed our way. Prepare and be ready to draw blood." I said lighting a smoke and starring off in the direction of the gun fire.

Figures started appearing on the horizon, angry looking shadows with tanks. I looked at my new arm and my rifle. "Well, let's see what we can do." I said mentally preparing for the blood bath that was about to occur. I held up my hand then waved it forward. "FUCK EM UP!" I yelled slapping the safety off on my rifle.
