Chapter 8 The Gravity lift
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
The next night.
Pelican echo 002 roared over the desert flats headed striaght for something that most toons trembled in fear of. An Organization battle cruiser. The pelican's load was supriseingly small for such a high risk mission. On board was the entire red team and Cloud. The plan was seemingly simple. Broad the ship and rescue the captain.
Areith: According to data gathered from the Organization's battle net they are holding the captain on the cruiser right in front of us the Truth and reconcilation. It's currently floating off the near by pleatue at 200 meters.
Grif: So how exactly do we get inside. Of coarse if we had a rifle with wings...
Sarge: Grif shut up. There's a gravity lift that carrys troops and supplies to and from the ship. That is our ticket in.
Areith: Once we're inside the ship I'll homm in on the captains neural implants.
Hogia pulled the dropship in near the southern end of the canyon.
Hogia: Touch down everyone out.
Sarge: Alright move it men I don't no about you but I like the idea of having a blue guy on point he'll take all of ... Then again Grif take point.
Areith: SHut up all of you I'm picking up enemy turrets near by. Cloud is going to use his sniper rifle to covertly take out as many of of the gunner's and enemy solider's as he can. Don't follow until you here the enemy return fire. That should allow us to keep the element of suprise.
Sarge: Fine but when we're in the ship Grif takes point.
Grif: I hate you.
Cloud walked over to a small ledge under which in a small clearing were several cannons and Organization soliders. Cloud raised the rifle and took aim. He practiced for a few seconds switching bettween the two guns then he fired. The dusk maing the turrets head exploded as the fifty calibeir round slamed into it's head iin seconds the other gunner was dead. Then he took aim at an elite and killed it as well. Now the remaining enemy troops opened up on him and he ducked for cover.
Cloud: Areith we need back up now!
Areith: Alright red team the enemy guns are down move up the middle now!
Sarge: Alright boy's charge!
The red team poured in from the right flank and opened up on all of the remaining enemy troops.
Areith: Cloud a dusk is going for that gun on the right take him out!
Cloud: Got it!
He fired again striking the dusk in the chest. Soon the last of the organiztaion's troops lay dead all over the place. Sarge rushed forward for the path. Suddenly a pair of sound ninja's rounded the corner Kuni throwers ready. But as they raised their weapons a grenade landed on their heads and exploded. Sarge turned around.
Sarge: Excellent throw Simmons.
Simmons: Sir that was Grif.
Sarge: GRIF YOU NUMB NUT!! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? KILL ME!!
Grif: WHY IS THAT YOU HATE ME SO MUCH!
Cloud: Let's go already.
They encountered another group of nobodies and ninja's. But as they continued downn the path Areith called them to a halt.
Areith: Hostile forces detected up a head the path on the left should allow us to get their flank.
Cloud: Okay Red's you guys stay here and don't get killed. I'll have Areith call when I've taken their flank.
Sarge: Alright good luck.
Cloud slowly makes his why down the path quietly killing an unexpecting sound ninja. Finnaly after about a minute he reached the paths end. He lept up spoting a near by turret. He unslung his assualt rifle firing at will.
Cloud: Areith now!!
Areith: Red team Attack now take them down!
Sarge: Let's go men time to party!
The red team streams in through the middle firing their weapons. Cloud fired on the elite nobodies leaving ninja's and Dusks to the red's. Suddenly there came the tell tale hum of an organization dropship. The guns on the dropship fired down on the unfortunate reds but it hadn't spotted Cloud. It deployed it's troops and pulled away. Cloud lept out of cover and attacked. In seconds he had gunned down the unfortunate Nobodies and ninja's. They then slipped into a small canyon filled with dusks and elites. The rescuse team soon found themselves in a huge clearing. In the center was the gravity lift. But it was defended by three plasma turrets.
Sarge: Crap their going to kill us all with those guns.
Grif: May be we should capture one and use it against them.
Sarge: No we're going to use our rocket launcher on them. Now who has the launcher?
Simmons: Private Donut sir.
Donut: Let me see how do you work this thing?
Sarge: You point it at the orange guy.
Grif: Sarge get off my back!
Donut fires into the air and hit's the ship. Then figureing out how it works he uses it to kill all of the turrets. Suddenly dozens of dusks, Elite's, and Sound ninja's. After the first few fire fights suddenly two Heartless with broad sheilds and fuel rod cannons appeared. The red team opened up on them but nothing worked.
Grif: Now that launcher or turret might come in handy.
Sarge: Damnit Grif your idea was horrblie now we don't have a luancher.
Grif: What are you talking about it was your idea.
Suddenly Cloud turned off screen.
Cloud: Can I have my sword please.
Ranger24: No it dosen't fit in the story.
Cloud: What if you say it's an energy sword.
Ranger24: But you can't use that till halo 2.
Cloud: Come on think of the reviews.
Ranger24: Fine I'll let you use it but when this is over you have to use the usual weapons.
Cloud: Good with me.
A stage hand throws Cloud his sword. He grins drawing his sword.
Cloud: Time to party.
He leaps in bettween the warriors And slices them into.
Sarge: See all we need is a little improvisation.
Grif: Sarge we nearly got killed.
Sarge: Quit moaning Grif or I'll have you shot for insubordanation.
Cloud throws his sword back off stage.
Areith: Echo 002 We need some reinforcements.
Hogia: Okay I'm on my way.
The drop ship pulled in and droped off Carl Whezzer, Princepal Skinner, Billy, Irwin, Neji Hyuga, and Choji.
Cloud: Let's go men.
Cloud and the others walk on to the gravity lift.
Grif: How's it work.
Sarge: Would you shut up.
He pushed him forward. Suddenly Grif started floating up.
Cloud: We just have to jump?
Everyone jumped and they all went air borne.
