A/N: Here's chapter 3, and thanks Mastermind416 for the advice I think it helped a lot.
Chapter 3
Pelican: 314. Location: Geo-Sync orbit of Gamma Centauri. Destination: Surface of Madrigal.
Once we arrive at the hanger we boarded the two pelicans taking us and our vehicles down to the surface, the Sangheili in one, us in the other.
"Going hot in ten" came over the loud speakers.
"Alright strap in, it's gonna get bumpy, scanners pickup what appears to be Mk 2488 MACs, and other smaller AA guns" I said.
"Three, two, one, launch", we heard over the pelican's comm. As we left the ships artificial gravity we felt that familiar feeling that you would soon remember what you had for breakfast. Over the radio chatter we started to hear, then feel as the planet side MACs opened up.
"CleansingFlame, how's it going over there?" I asked.
"Good for now WolfPack, but were taking heavy fire, we might need to bug out soon if this keeps up for long" answered Silever.
"Alright keep me updated on your condition till land fall" I replied.
"WolfPack, this is CleansingFlame we lost a wing and are …."came back a few seconds later.
"CleansingFlame, repeat last transmission, over" I said.
"Sir the other pelican was just destroyed, it took a direct hit" our pilot answered.
"Well it looks like we're on our own WolfPack, prepare to go hot, they sure as heck know were here now" I told the squad.
"Touch down, going hot in five" we heard.
"Alright everyone you know the drill, complete your objectives then regroup for evac.
As soon as we touched down the pelican dropped its load of the Warthog, and opened the bay door, though we were about three meters off the ground we jumped it easily and mounted up and roared off across the plains. We got about within a kilometer and we saw something coming towards us at high speed.
As they got closer we noticed they were Hogs like ours, but without the LAAG on the back. Once within range, small arms fire erupted from the enemy vehicles, we returned fire, and were soon rewarded by five burned out hulks. As we progressed we encountered another squad of Hogs but these had LAAGs, and one even had an impromptu rocket launcher on it.
As we engaged, I realized we ought to be moving faster, it was already 0830 hours, not much time left. I yelled to Star Fox to use the Splaser on the modified Hog, while IceWolf would use the M41 SSR MAV/AW he had brought. A series of explosion that got closer and closer to hitting us indicated we were in the RocketHogs sights.
"Now would be a good time StarFox" I yelled. The resulting explosion of the RocketHog was enough to flip another that had been beside it, brutally smashing the occupants. Only three left but we were taking heavy fire so IceWolf fired his launcher and missed on his first attempt, but utterly destroyed it on his second.
"Reloading" he reported as we continued evasive maneuvers, for though we had shields, even they wouldn't be enough against a weapon of that caliber, with such a high ROF.
We soon dispatched the last two Hogs, and continued on our way. We now had only one hour, ten minutes to retrieve the bombs. Thankfully we reached the base without any more distractions, and were in position at 0900 hours.
A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I already have Chapter 5 written out, just smoothing everything now. If you want Chapter 4 I need to see four reviews. As always constructive criticism is appreciated.
