NEW CHAPPIE! WOO! I actually had a lot more fun writing this one than I thought I would have. I really hope you like it.
"Alright guys, ETA is five minutes, lock and load." Lambda called out as she, Lopez, Parker, and Johnson flew towards Opportunity.
"Chief, we're about to reach Opportunity." Lopez reported through his com as he stood in the cabin, holding onto a railing to keep himself steady.
"We've just reached the Slab's territory, report an update in an hour or sooner if you recover the voice module." John replied through the radio.
"Got it, over and out." Lopez replied.
"You know, Lilith said Opportunity was a Hyperion controlled town and heavily guarded." Parker said, causing everyone to become silent.
"Anyone else starting to feel expendable?" Johnson asked.
"I guess you have a reason to complain." Lopez replied, "After all, you and Lambda aren't even soldiers." The pelican suddenly jerked t the side, sending Lopez tumbling in the cabin.
"Oh no, we've been shot at." Lambda said sarcastically, "Oops, never mind, just a bird, my bad."
The other's laughed as Lopez got up and grumbled something along the lines of, 'I'll show you a fuckin' bird.'
"We're here." Lambda called out.
"We go in fast and we get out fast, understood?" Lopez asked.
"Sir, yes sir!" Parker and Johnson shouted in response as Lambda landed and they disembarked.
"Lambda, cover us with the Pelican's .50, but keep your distance." Lopez order.
"Affirmative." Lambda replied as she swung the Pelican around in a position so that she could see ahead of the others, and also see if any AT fire came at her. The others quickly went from cover to cover, never splitting up and lining up at each wall they took cover on with Lopez on point.
"I don't know, it's a too little quiet." Parker said, "I don't see any sign of Hyperion resistance."
"No Hyperion? Guess nobody's home." Johnson said before something made a humming sound.
"Heads up!" Lambda called over the com as a Constructor came around the corner and landed nearby, followed by a two Loaders and a Badass Loader. Lambda opened fire on the Constructor while the others shot at the Loaders.
"NOBODY HOME, HUH!?" Lopez shouted as the first Loader went down, "YOU JUST HAD TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH!" The Constructor fired rockets as Lambda, who quickly flew forwards at full throttle, narrowly dodging the rockets before swinging around and firing her Pelican's rockets at it and bringing it down.
"Watch your fire!" Parker shouted into the com before Lambda fired the .50 behind her, destroying a Loader that was just digistructed into the battlefield. "Show off!" Parker shouted and Lambda giggled.
More loaders appeared and some Hyperion Engineers joined the fight only to be brought down by the ground squad's ARs or the Pelican's .50. One of the Loaders ran up to them and self destructed, causing them to split up. Lopez and Parker had jumped over a railing to a lower level while Johnson had jumped to the side and tumbled down some stairs to a courtyard.
"There! That's Jack's body double!" Angel called out through the com, "He has the voice module!"
"How the hell did you get this frequency?" Lopez asked.
"I'll explain later!" Angel replied, "The voice module!" Parker and Lopez quickly made their way over to Johnson while he tried to push the enemy back as they cornered him.
"THERE ON ME LIKE FLYS ON SHIT OVER HERE!" Johnson shouted.
"Hang on, we're about to flank!" Parker replied through her com as she threw a grenade that pushed the Loaders and the body double back, allowing enough time for her and Lopez to go around and catch them off guard.
"Lambda, where are you with that .50!?" Lopez shouted into the com.
"You're in a real tight spot!" Lambda replied, "I can't cover without hitting you guys!"
"Damn it!" Lopez shouted, "Alright, just keep anything else from coming inside while we get rid of the double!"
"Affirmative!" Lambda replied. The last Loader came down and only left the double, but their bullets seemed to do nothing.
"Bastard's got one hell of a shield!" Johnson shouted as he ducked behind a pillar to avoid the double's bullets.
"He time's his attack to clearly, we can't shoot him without his shield regenerating while we reload!" Lopez shouted. Johnson quickly looked around and saw a nearby gas tank next to a generator. He ran for it, grabbed the gas tank, and managed to duck back into cover before he was shot. He quickly checked his gun to see if he had enough bullets left, but sadly his gun's chamber was open.
"I have a plan, but I'm dry!" he called out. Parker peeked out around her cover and managed to slide Johnson a new mag while Lopez noticed the gas tank and caught wind of the plan.
"Parker, we'll suppress while Johnson carries out his plan! Johnson! On the count of three, you ready!?" he asked.
"Ready!" Johnson replied.
"3, 2, 1, SUPRESSING!" Lopez shouted as he and Parker looked over their cover and emptied their gun's mags into the double who took cover and gave Johnson a chance to throw the gas tank next to him, then fired at it effectively igniting it and causing an explosion that destroyed the double's shield and Johnson finished him off with his AR. The three of them neared the body with guns at the ready before Parker kicked the body, getting no response, and allowing them to ease the tension.
"Well, looks like he couldn't…..take the heat." Lopez laughed, both Parker and Johnson groaned and facepalmed, they could even hear Lambda do the same.
"Come on Sarge, that was terrible!" Parker said.
"What?" Lopez asked as Johnson grabbed the voice module, "I thought it was good! It was totally called for!"
"Just…just get that thing calibrated so we can go." Lambda sighed.
"Chief, we've got the voice module and are on our way." Lopez reported.
"Stop by sactuary and pick up Claptrap." John replied. Lopez could hear some explosions in the background, "Bring him to the highlands and we'll wave you down."
"Copy." Lopez replied.
