"Grenades aren't candy!"
"Does any UNSC Personnel read, this is Sergeant Moncover!" Said the distressed Sergeant. When he was about to give up and turn his radio off he got a response. "Sarge, this is Corporal Stelski! I'm with a Squad of Marines and some Civilian Scientists we got from the labs were going to try to get to that Ship that didn't retreat to Earth when Covenant first attacked."
"Casualties are low here; resistance on our war to the Ship is low also." There was a large breath, "Sarge, we'll link up with you there. We'll give you eight hours to come, if you don't reach it in that time we'll leave without you." Another large breath, "And for some reason the Covenant haven't begun glazing the area. We interrogated a Brute we found, apparently there leaders started killing the Elites that's why we haven't ran into any on this planet."
"Also, they Elites appear to be evenly matched with the Rest of the Covenant and that a few species went to help them."
"They apparently can't spare enough ships to Glaze this whole planet, also we believe there--!" Gunfire went off and the message ended. The Sergeant put the radio back into his bag. Then turned to his Troops, "Ok were going to have to try reaching that UNSC Frigate in 8 hours. So make sure you have everything ready to leave make sure that that Pelican is prepped for the trip."
With that he jumped into the Pelican and ushered his Marines into the Drop ship. He grabbed the Pilot and pushed him into the cockpit, "Start up her engines!" The Pilot obeyed the ordered and had the Pelican's systems turned on.
The loud noise attracted a small party of Jackals, who ran towards the Ship. Hot Plasma smacked against the side of the ship. It hit one Marine in the shoulder, burning threw his clothing. A volley of bullets met to greet the Jackals taking down a few of them.
One of the Marines tossed a Grenade over to the Birdlike Creatures. They jumped out of the way, except for one who was obviously just starting his first real battle who picked it up, and popped it into his mouth. There was a chocking noise and the Jackal exploded into many bits, which in turn littered the battlefield. Moncover turned to the Pilot, "Get us the hell outta' here and close the Door!" The Pilot obeyed and the Pelican started up and a door came up to cover the area with the Marines in. This door was meant for Space or long trips.
-----------------------------------------------
The Minor Prophet in control of the Fleet attacking this Human Planet turned to the Brute Captain in-control of the Ground Forces. "Jiralhanae, you have failed to find the holy instrument?" The Brute turned its head to the wall not daring to look at the "Holy Being". "Yes, Holy one, I have failed to find the Sacred Instruments." The Prophets eyes narrowed, he then continued on his "speech" to the Brute. "But you destroyed the Human Ground troops fairly well." "You shall get a large reward of a new Rank for your Victory on the Humans." The Brute bowed to him, "I am your servant o' Great one!" The Brute was led to the door by Honor Guards. The Prophet watched him as he left, and then turned to the Honor Guard Captain by his Throne, "Reward him, and then kill him." The Honor Guard bowed his head, "Yes my Lord it shall be done." And with that he left following the way the other Brute went. ------------------------------------------------- The Pelican was almost to the ship. Everything was going smooth until the Pilot yelled to the Sergeant, "Sir, two blips on the Radar probably Banshees or Seraph Fighters!" The Marines begin panicking getting out there guns like they could actually fight a Seraph with a rifle. One of the Seraphs shoot a blast of plasma at the Drop Ship hitting its sides making the metal begin burning and it start going down. "Damn it hit one of the wings were going down the Ship is in a Mile range!" The Sergeant nodded understanding the deep shit they were in, "Try and get us to crash as close to the ship as possible." "Aye, sir!" The Pelican began closing in on the Ship. Its gained speed from the Friction, being caused from the near-crash. The Pilot then began to speak again, "Five blips, there Long Swords! There engaging the Seraphs!" Then two other Pelicans Flew up next to the one that was about to Crash and shoot out cords linking them to it keeping in the air directing it to the Hangar. -------------------------------------- "Lord, a Human ship is attempting to flee!" Said a Brute to the Minor Prophet. "Well, shoot it down!" The Brutes face was in pure dismay, "Were trying to, but it has strong shields!" "Shields!? The Humans don't possess shields!" --------------------------------------- The Frigate left the atmosphere, it prepped its Engines ready for a Slip Space Jump, it was getting fired on but the shields held. "Captain, engaging Cole Protocol, we can't jump to Earth, try a jump to I don't know. Maybe blank space?" Said the Navigator to the Captain of the UNSC Vessel. The Frigate using its Drive Ripped a hole into Slip Space, the other dimension lacking Einstein Physics. The Ship left Covenant Radars.
