Surprise For The Covenant
When the Chief and Johnson arrived at the operations centre they were met by Commander Miranda Keyes. Keys explained to the Chief that the Covenant had been digging, looking for something. The operations centre then received a transmission, it was Lord Hood. Lord Hood appeared on the screen, addressing Commander Keyes "Is he up to speed" looking towards the Chief. He then addressed the Chief "What's your status son". The chief replied "Green, Sir".
Before long, just as he was explain humanities next move to the chief, Lord Hood was interrupted by none other by the Prophet of Truth. "You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No. Your world will burn until its surface is but glass. And not even your demon will live to creep, blackened, from its hole to mar the reflection of our passage. The culmination of our journey. For your destruction is the will of the gods. And I? I am there instrument. "Johnson turned to face the Chief "Cocky bastard, just loves to run his mouth" Master Chief looked back at Johnson "Does he usually mention me?". It was at this moment when Commander Keyes made an important tactical decision. "Give the order, we're closing shop." Realising the coming threat "we're about to get hit."
Master Chief now knew what he had to do, he had to go and fight the covenant threat within the base. On his way down the Chief picked up an assault rifle and a battle rifle, two of his favourite weapons. As the Chief made his way to assist the marines the entire base shook as the Covenant made entry, from here on thing weren't going to be easy but the Chief knew his mission and he knew he had to help those marines and get them to safety. He was now heading to the hanger, where he knew the Covenant had made their entry, on his way down the Chief came across a swarm of covenant, they were well established with their plasma turrets at the ready but they were no match for the Chief and the marines that followed him.
As the Chief reached the hanger, it was clear he had a fight on his hands. Immediately there was a Phantom floating in the hanger and another swarm of Covenant. Soon as the Chief entered the hanger he went for exactly what he needed. A fully automatic 50 calibre turret, the Covenant didn't have a chance and within minutes they were dispatched and the marines were being picked up for evac.
Just as the marines had left Master Chief received communication from Johnson, the brutes were pressing hard and the Chief was needed back at the Ops Centre immediately. As the Chief was making his way back to the Ops Centre he was attacked by Drones, a whole swarm of the things. Still holding the turret he had used earlier he opened fire on the drones, leaving only remains. When the Chief arrived at the Ops Centre he found Johnson preparing a bomb, however this wasn't any bomb, it was about the size of a warthog at least, a little going away gift for the Covenant. After the bomb was prepared Johnson asked the Chief to follow him, he took the Chief to a door and said "Brutes have taken the barracks, marines are trapped inside. Those apes ain't much for mercy Chief. And we both know what they do to prisoners." With this information the Chief hurried to the barracks to save the marines. As soon as the chief entered the barracks he was confronted by six brutes, all heavily armed but the Chief had more skill and determination and fought through to save the marines from the Brutes.
The Chief who had been recently joined by the Arbiters knew his next move, move the marines for evac. There was a landing zone where they could be picked up but it was surrounded by more Brutes, Master Chief, along with the Arbiter and marines would have to fight them off first before a pelican could land to take the marines. The brutes put up a good fight but they were no match for the Chief and the marines, they only lasted minutes and the pelican was on its way. When the pelican arrived it took the marines and the Arbiter leaving the Chief alone to clear the Ops Centre and arm the bomb. The chief shortly arrived at the Ops Centre to find it full of Covenant, his objective was simple, eliminate the Covenant and arm the bomb.
The covenant didn't take much to defeat and the bomb was armed, now all the chief had to do was put some distance between him and the bomb, his exit point was a service elevator in the hanger. On his way to the hanger the Chief came across plenty of Covenant, which were quickly eliminated along the way. The Chief had made it into the elevator just in time, the bomb went off and now the Chief was left in the aftermath of the explosion, waiting for his next move,
