2. Chapter 3 Force Recon

Corporal Ben Jerry crawled forward on his stomach to the top of the rise and peered in the valley below. He then pulled out his binoculars and scoped the valley floor. It was a scene of utter devastation and anarchy across the valley floor. The covenant ship had crash-landed in this valley and had scattered parts of it across the length of it. The tail section of the ship was largely intact and the UNSC wanted to try and retrieve what ever possible technology that salvageable.

One marine spoke up," their probably wont be to many survivors since they came down so hard". Hard was almost an understatement since the ship had blown through one of the walls of the valley in its landing and the impact had destroyed the nose of the ship.

The marine platoon of the 181st pathfinders then slowly advanced using the foliage as cover. They had covered the entire floor of the valley without a hitch and were almost to the rail section when the shit really hit the fan. From spots hidden all over the wreckage covenant jackals and brutes opened up from their camouflaged positions. They then added even more chaos to the mix by sending a large wave of grunts on a suicide charge.

The pathfinders then started to return their own fire. It was no where near as dramatic or as satisfying as the covenants firepower but it was much more accurate and much more lethal. The first thing that the pathfinders focused on was the emplaced weapons and sharpshooters in the wreckage of the covenant ship they then began to shift their focus on the large amounts of grunts charging towards them. They opened up with their battle rifles and assault rifles while the snipers continued to duel with the shooters in the ships wreckage.

The grunts fell by the dozen but for everyone one that fell another two sprung up to take its place. When they got a little too close the pathfinders light up their close range surprises. Two billowing cones of liquid fire shot out from the muzzles of the two flamers that the marines lugged with them. The two flamers effectively fired anything that got within 25 meters and destroyed the morale of the survivors.

The retreat started with a single a single grunt turning tail, who was promptly shot in the face by one of the few brutes leading the charge. That single grunt caused a chain reaction that soon had the entire horde in retreat and were promptly cut down by the marines. The marines then pushed their way up to the wreckage under the cover of the snipers. They then all regroup at the wreckage and those were not equipped for close combat switched to using their SMG's or assault rifles. Then as a unit in an orderly fashion they entered the ship.

The first thing that all of them noticed was how eerily quiet it was. There was no movement at all that any of them could see. They had just finished a massive firefight out doors and now that they had entered it seemed like everything had just vanished. They crept through the main hold and had encountered no resistance. As soon as they entered the engine room the whole world went to hell in a hand basket.

All the remaining Covenant survivors opened up from the various galleries. They were mostly Brutes and a small amount of Jackals thrown in. the marines returned fire but were surrounded and the enemy had a height advantage.

That is when a truly unexplainable occurrence happened. A overcharged plasma pistol fired. The green orb flew through the air and just narrowly missed two marines. Then it hit the ships slipspace generator. The barely understood device then sent out a torrent of fire and lighting. One of these strands of lighting flew across the entire marine platoon and hen the blinding light had faded the marines were nowhere to be found. The Covenant did not know what to do now that their enemy had been destroyed. They did not have long to wait however since and entire regiment had deployed outside while the marines were having the fire fight inside.

Note the next few chapters will be in the quake world until I can find a good point in which to merge them. Also if you review I will thank you in the next chapter and answer any questions.
