Lancer Production Presents
Lancer Industry
Squad 11-Fire
Chapter 4 It
The squad jumped off their pelican onto the hill side they were currently at. Rook ready his DMR and kept a look out for hostiles. Hunter used his vision code to clear the area. There's nothing in his field of vision. The groups visors were link so they can see each, I guess you can say health bars. Rook's visor displayed a way point for them to follow. The destination was 10 miles area, Northwest.
"Let's move out squad," Rook yelled.
Rook started to follow the route to the target. So the group followed him. Rook kept a steady pace for the group. After they ran down the hill, they entered a forest. The forest was dark and swampy. Firefly had to keep on jumping off logs to keep up. Hunter taps on Rook to let him know what he sees, so Rook stop. Hunter grabbed a twig and wrote what he sees. He wrote, "Vehicles."
"Oh thank god," Parrot whined.
"What, don't like running?" Firefly asked.
"Ya," Parrot answered.
"Lets go check what they are," Rook said as he heads toward the vehicles.
The group chases after Rook, realizing what they found. The vehicle were Mantis like, but more flexible. It was Lancer Industry's OTA-324, "Ordinance Titan Armor." They machine almost looks like a GruntMech, just bigger. Lucky enough there are 4 OTA's. The OTA's had a large Assault Gun, and a driver seat. They were not colorful, they were just Grey.
"Does anyone know who to drive one?" Firefly asked.
"They have body seats," Rook said.
"Oh," Firefly replied.
The Rook hopped into the OTA. A Body Seat is where the vehicle mimics your body movement. The OTA started to link up to Rook's armor so it can function correctly. And it did.
"Hey hop on in one and move out," Rook said on the speaker.
The group started to head out to the way point when they got the OTA. Since they are Lancer Industry's they will need to return them. They were coming up on a abandon Covenant base. Nothing was their just alien tech.
"This is hostile territory isn't it?" Parrot asked.
"Yes, but where is everybody?" Firefly questioned.
Hunter texted Rook a message saying, "I got a bad feeling."
"I hear you Hunter," Rook replied. "Lets explore inside and gather their intel."
After saying that, Rook hopped out of his OTA and explore the base.
"Do we have to?" Parrot whined.
"Don't wuss out," Firefly said.
The rest of the team set the OTA to autopilot so they can explore. Rook manage to get inside the base where the control room is. Rook took out a data extractor, its a device that hacks into a system and sends the data back to base. After about a minute, the device was finish hacking but something was wrong. The data says the enemy are at base. But where?
Back at Hunter, he found footprints that belong to Brutes. He examines the footprints again and realize that it wasn't a few Brutes, it was more than dozens. Firefly and Parrot discovered a room filled with items. They were hung like trophies of some kind.
"A trophy room?" Firefly asked.
"Probably," Parrot answered.
Parrot eyes caught something. Their was a broken monitor that was displaying the base. But what was weird is that the monitor screen it was displaying was moving.
"Firefly over here," Parrot shouted. "Look at this."
Parrot looks at the monitor. He then realizes the path he and Firefly took to get to where they are now. Parrot then sees himself throw the door which at the time was open. Firefly then walks to see what he found. Parrot got nervous. He saw how Firefly walk to him on the monitor. Parrot then access his audio chat that his squad has. He brought his hand up to the side of his helmet and pressed the chat button.
"Guys we are not alone here," Parrot said as he readied his assault rifle and pointed at the door.
"I don't think we are alone here either," Rook said. "The Radar room shows them here at base."
Hunter sent everyone a message. "Escape."
Then a loud scratching noise appeared near Firefly and Parrot room. Firefly also readied her SMG and aimed at the door. Parrot and Firefly were both confuse, so Parrot shot a bullet at the hallway where the door was at. He hit something. The bullet bounced off a energy shield, exposing a large Brute. This Brute was far bigger than any Brute, Parrot or Firefly has every seen. The Brute was covered in armor head to toe and carried a very large Gravity Hammer.
"Rook RUN!" Parrot shout as he and Firefly begin shooting the Brute.
Rook heard the gunfire, so he ran towards Parrot and Firefly but was pinned down by 5 Brutes. Luckily for him, Hunter was their to support him. Parrot and Firefly were having a more difficult time with this Brute. The Brute's shields were down but the bullets weren't effecting the Brute at all. Brute grabbed Parrot and threw him at side the room. Firefly tried to run towards Parrot, but was wracked by the massive hammer. The hammer brought Firefly's shields all the way to zero. Brute swung its hammer at Firefly again, smacking her to the wall. Her shields weren't regenerating. The Hammer was giving off large amount of electricity that it broke her shields completely. The Brute started to walk towards her. Firefly panicked. As the Brute moves its arm to Firefly, Parrot used his Lazier Gauntlets on the Brute. Their was a bright red light in the room for a bit. The Brute's armor was untouched. The Brute went to Parrot now. Parrot got back up on his feet so he can dodge the Brute's attack. The Brute swung it's hammer at Parrot. Parrot barrel roll out of the way, evading each attack. Parrot then dived forward under the hammer, but the Brute grabbed him. The Brute lift Parrot off the ground with one arm. Parrot struggled as he was suffocating to death. Hunter then jumped on the back of the Brute, releasing Parrot. Firefly ran towards Parrot and dragged him way to heal him. But Hunter didn't last long. The Brute grabbed Hunter and threw him at Firefly. Rook then ran at the Brute with his SAW, attempting to slow the Brute down. Hunter tried the same thing once he got back up on his feet. Hunter started shooting the Brute with his Sniper. Firefly recovered off the ground. She ran to Parrot and carried him out.
"GO, GO, GO!" Rook yelled as he and Hunter walk backwards.
The Brute followed the group outside where the OTA were. The 2 nearest OTA attacked the Brute as the other 2 went to support Firefly. Firefly used her Armor heal on Parrot. Rook and Hunter left the Brute to the OTA's and went to safety. Rook and Firefly picked Parrot up and ran.
"Move, Move, Move," Rook yelled.
Then out of no where, the Lancer Comms went up with agents yelling and screaming for support. Rook can see pelicans flying in and out. Rook called for extraction. Hunter looked back at the 2 OTA's, see that they were destroyed. The supporting OTA's went to by the group time to leave. The Brute began to charged at the OTA's. Just like before, destroyed. The group manage to get away from the Brute.
"This is Knight coming in with a pelican Fire-11 for emergency extraction, please signal a flare," said Knight on the comms.
Hunter shot a green flare for team's location. The pelican quickly flew towards the flare and landed for the group. After everyone was on, the pelican took off right always, back to the Anvil.
