"Enemies incoming!" John heard over the comms. He looked around
but didn't see anyone. "Hello, This Corporal John Cook! Does anyone
read me?" He waited for a response. "Yes I hear you loud and
clear." The reply came. Then another voice came on the comms.
"Hello! I ne… He… Agh!" Yelled the voice, then John heard the sound
of three shots. His heart began to race. "I'll be right there! But I need
your location!" But instead of a location he heard the other one yell,
"Open fire!"
John heard the faint sound of gunfire. He turned towards the sound
and began to run. My first real battle, he thought. Soon the sound was
getting louder. He turned a corner and froze. There was a Covenant
squad in front of him. He noticed the squad of UNSC soldiers. He hid
behind cover. Over the comms he said, "This is Cook. I see your squad.
I'm behind the enemies." He checked over the top of his cover. The
two squads were firing at each other. He had to join in now. His heart
sped. He had only experianced battle a few other times. He tightened
his grip, slowed his breath, and aimed his gun. Shoot.
His first shot hits a grunt in the head. He aims his gun at an elite. He
fires and hits the elite in the arm. "S***" He muttered. The elite turns
around. Their eyes met and the elite began to charge at him. He fired
as fast as he can. Three rounds hit.
Still charging.
Shot, miss.
Shot, hit.
Closer.
The Elite is almost close enough to attack. He holds his breath, and
raises his aim. He shoots, the bullet hitting the Elite in the face. It falls
down, landing right in front of his cover. "Ha ha! One more for the
count!"
