A/N: And here's the second chapter of Operation FIRESTORM, enjoy.
Chapter 2
Fleet: United we Stand. Ship: The Face of Danger. Location: Geo-Sync orbit of Gamma Centauri.
As I arrived at the hanger I saw my new team lined up at attention. Their armor was interesting, for it was obviously modified, like my own. IceWolf had dark blue Mk IV, with a jet pack and an energy sword holster, quite unusual. StarFox had Dark Green Scout, with Camouflage Panels, sure to come in handy this mission. PainKiller had Pink CQB, with a medpack holder attached to his storage pack. I myself had dark grey, almost black Rogue, with red highlights and a steel blue visor with a jet pack. As to our weapons, I had a M90 on my back, a M6G in its holster, and a Ma5C in my hands. IceWolf had a BR55HB SR on his back, an Energy Sword in its aforementioned holster and had his M6G out and ready. StarFox had a 99D on his back, with a M6G in its holster with a M7 silenced in hand. PainKiller had a DMR and a M319 on his back, in his hands he also held a M90. All in all we were pretty much a four man army. We were strike Team WolfPack. "At ease" I told them, "This is now my strike team and I would prefer if we could forget the pleasantries and act like the fighting men we are, equal in our own right". "Now here's the mission plan HighComm has given me" I said as I activated the holotank in front of us. "We will enter by the south wall using the W/AV M6G/GNR, or as I like to call it the Splaser, we will cut a hole in the wall and enter while StarFox gives us overwatch. Then we will enter this small building here, standard breach and clear formation, shotty up front, rifles behind. We will then secure the package and escape through the north where a pelican will be waiting. However, time is of the essence as the URF will be shipping the nukes to Covenant space at 1000 hours. It is 0700 now so we only have about 3 hours to get it and evac". "Sir, if I may, how will we get to the installation" asked StarFox. "IceWolf and I will take a M12 FAV, equipped with a M14 LAAG. You and PainKiller will take a M274 ULATV, aka Mongoose. We will break through enemy patrols eliminating any and all opposition. You will be dropped off at this over look here for overwatch, but if visibility is exceptionally bad you can call for a pelican to use for snipe-and-fly ops, while PainKiller will join up with IceWolf and me for the assault". "What is the projected enemy count" asked IceWolf. "About five to six hundred total" I replied "but we are Spartans, we will overcome this opposition and we will win. Fall out". As they left a new group arrived, I realized it was our Sangheili friends. "How goes it Spartan" asked Silever. "It's going pretty well, what about you, you ready for the coming battle?" I responded. "We are always ready to do battle when the time comes, though I would much prefer peace. There has been too much blood shed these past years. I have not seen my family for many months, what with the URF becoming a threat" he answered. "I agree, better to keep peace than die fighting for it" I replied. "Well I must go and prepare my team for the coming skirmish; I shall see you on the battle field Spartan. May the gods be with you" He said before walking away with the Unggoy marching along behind. "Strike teams WolfPack and CleansingFlame report to the hanger for transport to your objective" I heard over the loudspeaker. As I dashed off to the hanger I couldn't help thinking "operation FIRESTORM, I wonder who thought that one up".
A/N: Constructive criticism is appreciated, please review. I want three reviews or no chapter three.
