Halo 5.1 Guardians of Sera chapter 7
After Delta's first encounter with the Covenant, Delta, Osiris and Blue Team continued their salvage run.
As everyone went through the stranded camp gate, the entire stranded settlement was still hidden during the attack.
"Is that all of them" asked the sniper.
"They're all gone" assured Locke.
"Just what the hell were those things?" asked the stranded.
"The UNSC call them "The Covenant" answered Locke.
"Just keep your heads down and stay of their sight, the Covenant are alot more dangerous than the Locust or Lambent" explained Chief.
"Thanks for the help" thanked the stranded.
"Just doing our jobs" assured Locke.
As the team left the settlement camp they were closing in on the supermarket.
"There it is!" shouted Anya in excitement.
All of a sudden Lambent stalks popped up AND more Covenant Phantoms were inbound.
"Oh blood fucking hell STALKS!" said Sam.
"More Phantoms Inbound!" shouted Fred.
"Wait...that Phantom is targeting those stalks" said Chief taking notice.
"Well at least we know they're not on the same side. Let's use this to our advantage" said Marcus.
As everyone cleared the area of the Lambent and Covenant they made it towards the entrance.
"Let's get this door open!" said Marcus as he and Dom lifted the metal door to the supermarket.
Everyone went inside and searched for any food supplies for the ship. Little did they know they weren't alone.
"Let's check the back" suggested Dom.
"What no shopping carts? No checkout people?" asked Buck.
"You have a way to keep our spirits up don't ya Buck?" asked Sam.
"Just tryin' to lighten the mood" replied Buck.
Dom was at the back and found a whole stash of food to last for months.
"Jackpot" said Dom to himself.
Then Dom hear footsteps from behind but no one was there.
"Huh?" said Dom confused.
Dom then heard something turn on and when he turned around he saw what was an active camo elite armed with an energy sword.
"CONTACT!" shouted Dom as the others heard and rushed to his aid.
Dom fired his Lancer at the Elite but the elite used the sword to block the bullets.
The elite then picked him up and just when he was gonna impale Dom with the sword Marcus comes in at the last minute and tackles the elite down.
Marcus then revved up his Chainsaw bayonett and finished it off.
"Kill the humans!" shouted another active camo elite.
"Fuck there's more of 'em" cursed Marcus as he and Dom frantically looked around.
"Chief, we got invisible Covenant please advise" said Marcus.
"Marcus those are Elites wearing active camoflauge standby we're coming" said Chief.
"Active camo? Great" complained Kelly.
"Take them out, they stand between us and those supplies!" ordered Locke.
The elites then revealed themselved armed with energy swords. The team managed to kill all but one. The last elite sneaked up on Anya and grabbed her and held her hostage.
"ANYA!" shouted Marcus in concern.
"One more step human and the female dies by my blade" said the Elite.
Meanwhile Chief was behind the elite. He pulled out his combat knife and stabbed the elite in his head bringing it down only to finish it off b stabbing it in the chest.
"He's down" assured Chief.
"Anya are you okay?" asked Marcus.
"I'm fine Marcus, just got me by surprise" answered Anya.
"Alright Delta let's load up the food and go home. We're done here" said Marcus.
"KR-05 this is Delta we have supplies and request pickup over" said Marcus via comms.
As the Ravens arrived the food was loaded and Delta, Osiris and Blue team headed back to base. But what worries everyone is there's another enemy that entered the fray now.
