Halo 5.1 Guardians of Sera chapter 6
The following morning. 06:00 hours.
"Now hear this Osiris and Blue Team to the Raven's Nest immediately. Repeat Osiris and Blue Team to the Ravens Nest immediately" ordered Michealson via comms.
"You heard the man Osiris gear up double time" said Locke as everyone got up.
"Another day another mission" said Fred grabbing his DMR.
"Let's get moving Blue Team" said Chief putting on his helmet.
Blue Team and Osiris made their way to the Raven's nest with Marcus, Anya and Dom and Sam waiting by Captain Michaelson.
"Sir" the Spartans saluted.
"At ease everyone, Sergeant Fenix and his squad were heading off for the usual salvage run. Your mission is to join them and bring back supplies for the ship" briefed Michaelson.
"Yes sir" replied Osiris and Blue Team.
"Alright Delta let's get this thing done" said Marcus as everyone loaded on the Ravens.
On the way, Linda surveyed the area using her Sniper Rifle.
"Hey Linda, what calibre is that gun?" asked Dom.
"50, armor piercing, semi automatic, minimum 5x zoom and maximum 10x zoom" explained Linda.
"Damn you guys have some nasty tech" complimented Dom.
"Ha, you should see our explosive weapons" added Buck.
"Hey Chief, what do you think of all this?" asked Fred.
"Let's just be thankful Earth looks nothing like this" said Chief looking out the windo of the Raven seeing the destruction and barren land below.
"Gotta give the COG credit, who knows what would happen if they faced The Covenant" added Kelly.
As the Raven landed by the coast of Vectes, both Osiris and Blue Team absorbed their surroundings.
"Jeez, this place looks a mess" commedted Buck.
"Be grateful back home doesn't look like this" added Locke.
"I wonder if there's even civilians here?" asked Tanaka.
"We prefer to call them "Stranded" added Marcus.
"Out here it's every man, woman and child for themselves" said Dom.
"Did your war looked like this?" asked Sam.
"Not really, the damage The Covenant did made Earth was covered in graffiti compared to here" replied Vale.
"What are we looking for here exactly?" asked Locke.
"Food mostly, ever since you UNSC guys and gals gave us those weapons of yours we're good on firepower for now" answered Sam.
"Marcus that supermarket up ahead could have some food inside still. We should check there" suggested Anya.
"You heard Anya, move out" ordered Marcus.
"Haven't done grocery shopping in a long time" said Buck.
"Should've made a list then Buck" added Tanaka.
As the team made their way across the ruins they came across a barricaded door blocking their way.
"Damn door is locked" cursed Anya.
"If only we had Jack with us to open it up" said Dom.
"Who's Jack?" asked Kelly.
"Jack was always our key blocked doors. Baird's fixing him up" answered Marcus.
"I have an idea" suggested Master Chief.
"Locke we're gonna have to the "Spartan Charge" to bring this door down" added Chief.
"On it" said Locke as he and Chief took some steps back giving some sprinting speed.
"Uhhh what's the "Spartan Charge"? asked Dom.
"Just you watch" answered Buck.
Chief and Locke then sprinted full force at the door then shoulder tackled the door into pieces.
"Damn. Can anything stop you guys?" asked Marcus.
"Nothing has so far" answered Fred.
The team then entered but a sniper shot was heard from nearby.
"Hostile contacts!" shouted Tanaka and the Spartans took notice.
"Linda, find where the shooter is. Fred you and Tanaka provide cover fire" ordered Chief as the rest made their way towards the shooter.
"It's one of the stranded said Linda looking through her scope.
A stranded sniper from on top of a gate to a smal settlement armed with a One Shot heavy sniper took aim at the COG and UNSC.
"Don't take another step. Do anything heroic I'll blow your fucking heads off!" shouted the sniper.
"We're sorry about the door we just need to trade" said Dom attempting to be the voice of reason.
"We're not trading with you COG pigs. You fuckheads bring nothing but trouble for us!" shouted the stranded sniper.
"Are you in need of supplies" asked Locke.
"Who the hell are you? You and the other seven don't like like COG to me" asked the sniper.
"We're Spartans of the UNSC, a different military" answered Locke.
"Fine then. You eight can come in but those shitheads stay by the door" said the sniper opening the gate.
"Stay here Delta" ordered Chief.
As the Spartans went inside they were appalled at the sight of "Civillian Life" on Sera.
"Kinda sad just watching these people suffer daily" said Vale.
"Doesn't seem right or fair" added Fred.
"Keep moving people" ordered Locke.
"So you guys are from a different millitary?" asked the sniper.
"Yeah, whatever the COG did that pissed you all off the UNSC doesn't do that" replied Buck.
"They launched Hammer of Dawn strikes on the cities Buck" said Locke.
"Yeah, you can just see the damage the COG did to us. So what brings you all here anyway?" asked the sniper.
"The COG have asked us for help getting supplies and the market isn't far from here. We need access." explained Locke.
"Sure we'll help you out and we're doing this for YOU and not the COG" said the sniper.
"Thank you for your cooperation" thanked Locke.
"Sure, it should be a straight shot from here when you guys pass through but bare in mind there's the Lambent from here to the market and...something else" said the sniper.
"What do you mean something else?" asked Chief.
"Around last night these purple spaceships came from the sky. It had a blaster from the bottom and when it landed there were these things that sure as hell were not Lambent or Locust. They seemes smarter more dangerous" explained the sniper.
"What did they look like?" asked Locke.
"There were these guys with orange and red armor with little laser pistol. Some looked like weird bird things with shields with the same pistols. Lastly there were these big guys with mandible jaws and had some sort of bulletproof shield well almost bullet proof" answered the sniper.
"I hope he's not talking about what I think he is" said Fred concerned.
"Look up there, it's one of those ships!" said the sniper.
"Phantom!?" shouted Buck in shock.
"Listen get these people to safety we'll deal with this" ordered Locke.
"Spartans prepare to engage!" Shouted Chief.
"We need to regroup with Delta they don't stand a chance with the covenant" said Vale.
"Agreed move!" ordered Chief and they made their way back to the entrance.
Osiris and Blue Team made their way towards Delta who were taking cover and taking out the covenant...barely.
"CHIEF, LOCKE what the hell are these things?!" asked Marcus taking out a few grunts.
"That? oh that's just The Covenant" answered Buck.
"These guys are tough I'll give 'em that" said Anya chainsawing a grunt.
An Elite then took notice of the Spartans and cried "DEMONS!"
"Uh did that thing call you demons?" asked Dom.
"It's a nickname The Covenant calls us Spartans mainly towards me" answered Chief killing the elite with his assault rifle.
"You must have some reputation with this Covenant shitheads" said Sam killing Jackals with her Longshot sniper rifle.
"Finish them off" ordered Locke as everyone finished off the Covenant attack.
"All clear" said Linda.
"So that's the Covenant huh? They're alot tougher than the grubs" said Marcus.
"They put up more of a fight too" added Dom.
"We should get moving to the market before more Phantoms show up" suggested Vale.
"So that's what you call their ships" said Sam.
"Let's keep moving" said Chief as everyone pushed foward.
