Chapter 4
Location: Surface of Madrigal.
"Do it" I said.
PainKiller charged up the Splaser, then let loose with a beam of red light, quickly cutting a hole large enough to enter, and we all jumped through. I was in front, shotgun at the ready, while the other two covered me with rifles.
We opened fire just about the second we got through, quickly taking out a squad of troopers, armed with SMGs. As we came around a corner another squad opened up on us pushing us back, taking cover behind the corner.
As they stopped firing, I jump-jetted up the building we were against, reaching the roof in three seconds. I ran along the roof as I again heard the enemy open fire, as my teammates drew their fire. I reach a section of the roof that was parallel to, yet slightly behind their formation.
In a flash I jumped down almost in the middle of them, I whipped out my M6G and shot one in the head, while caving another's face in with my fist. Then I dropped my M6G and drew my knife and lunged at ones throat, slicing it in an instance, and then dropping to the ground as the others turned and shot where I had been half a second before. Throwing myself with my hands and lower arms, I reached out with my leg and tripped two and stabbing a third, then standing back up and dispatching the two on the ground.
I heard a voice and turned as the last troop, probably a Sergeant from his bars, said "Freeze or I will shoot you".
I replied "You realize your outnumbered four to one".
He looked around seeing his teammates dead, and in that moment of hesitation I threw my knife, hitting him in the throat, silencing him forever. I walked over and picked up my pistol, putting it back in its holster and wiping my knife on one of the dead troop's armor.
"Well that went well" said StarFox.
"You could have helped" retorted IceWolf.
As we made our way to the center of town we easily dispatched several more squads, and finally reached the center. We entered a building and made our way to the top, peering out over the edge of the roof we saw about thirty troops standing guard over a large crate which must have been the package.
"Well boss, what's the plan" asked PainKiller.
"You go left, Ice you go right, encircle and eliminate" I replied.
"Fox, why don't you thin'em out a bit" I added.
"To right boss" came back.
"All right when you're ready flash back" I ordered.
Soon, three green acknowledgement lights flashed.
"All right lets go, go, go". I said, as I charged in, quickly followed by IceWolf and PainKiller, while I saw four guards fall to the ground and a split second later heard four soft retorts from Star Fox's sniper rifle.
"Contacts down" I said "Lets mop up the rest".
We jumped down to the ground, and I pulled out my M90 and pumped three guards full of lead before it jammed. "Crap" I said pulling out my M6G and popping off four headshots before pulling my knife and lunging at a guard and slitting his throat, and then threw it about ten meters into the chest of another, and raising my magnum to finish off the rest.
Suddenly, over the noise of combat I looked up and saw a Covenant Spirit beginning to lift off with the package, secured by way of an anti-grav generator on the underside.
At that moment IceWolf looked up and screamed "Nooooo" as it took off.
IceWolf pulled the M41 up and locked target and fired. A second before it hit the Spirit set off flares causing the rocket to miss. He fired the second round but was too far away to get a lock and it was shot down before impact.
"Well this just sucks" said StarFox over the radio.
"You got that right dude" answered PainKiller.
"Well that's it, it's over" said IceWolf softly.
"No, I have a feeling it's just started" I supposed, little did I know how true it was.
