Halo 5.1 Guardians of Sera chapter 14
As the stalks rose outside Cougars Stadium Cole and company cleared them out quickly.
"Whoa! Better stay clear of those guys!" suggested Carmine.
"Let's check out the stadium. And we're gettin' the hell outta here" said Cole as Sam cut the chain off with her Lancer.
The team then came across the stranded occupying the stadium.
"Hey, look. He's still the hero" said Sam as she pointed out the statue of Cole.
"Yeah, the bums didn't even melt down the statue for scrap! Now that's respect" added Baird.
"Good to know even is desperate times, people still have respect for property" added Buck.
"Cole Train? Shit it is you! Wow, COle! What are you doin' back here? Man, you look just like I remember. Hey you finally comin' back home or something?" asked the stranded.
"Hey, can't keep me away forever, baby! Just checkin' everything's the way Ieft it, more or less" replied Cole.
"Hey you wanna have a beer with us? We brew some good stuff! asked the stranded.
"I do" interjected Buck.
"Thanks but I'll pass-still on duty. We're looking for supplies, though. Anything you wanna trade?" asked Cole.
"Better ask the boss-we can take you to see her!" said the stranded.
"I hear she might not be a fan" said Cole.
"Aw, but she'll listen to you. You're the Cole Train! Woo woo!" shouted the stranded.
"Yo, the Cole Train don't go woo woo, it's WHOO!"said Cole.
"Lambent! They're inside! The stalks are coming up inside the stadium!" said one of the stranded via comms
"Get down! Find some cover!" ordered Cole.
"Welp...*pump shotgun" time for some exterminating" said Buck.
"Buck, your team take the upper level while the rest of us take the lower" said Cole.
"You heard the man Spartans, move!" ordered Buck as him Linda, Tanaka and Kelly take the high ground to provide overwatch.
"We gotta clear the stadium of these glowie bitches" ordered Cole.
"Linda and I will provide cover fire from up here" said Tanaka.
"Hey, HEY! I got my ticket no need to fuss" said Buck under Lambent fire.
Carmine fired a shot from his Torque bow and shouted "THAT'S FOR ANTHONY AND BENJAMIN!"
"GUNKER!" shouted Linda spotting it.
As everyone finished off the Lambent, the team went to see the stadium camp leader.
"Okay, let's see if the boss lady is in a good mood" said Cole.
The team then came across the locker room. Cole's locker room. Cole absorbed the room as it all looked a mess. He felt like his sacred home was disturbed.
"Yeah, you were right about the smell lingering forever" said Baird as he was then elbowed by Sam.
"Ok...let's give the MVP, Cole some time to get ready. Let's go find our seats" suggested Buck giving Cole some alone time.
Cole then approached his locker and he was brough back to a time he was prepping for a game. He grabbed his helmet and headed towards the field.
"Ladies and gentlemen! He's Hanover's favorite son! Number 83! The Cole Train!" said the Thrashball announcer.
But as reality quicky settled in a stranded woman ran screaming saying "Help! There's a giant stalk on the field! Get the bomb!"
Cole then rushed the field for the bomb.
"Yeah, your punk-ass messed up my sacred turf! Bad Idea! Yo, I'm about to cream some shit out of these motherfuckers!" shouted Cole.
"WHOOOOO!" shouted Cole vaulting over cover.
Cole quickly grabbed the bomb as more Lambent popped up and rushed towards the giant stalk.
He plants the bomb as he scored a goal. The crowd was cheering his name. "COLE TRAIN COLE TRAIN COLE TRAIN"
But then the timer went off and the explosion knocked him out.
The rest of the team went to see if he was okay.
"Are you okay Cole?" asked Sam.
"Ah ha ha, the Train's still go the moves baby! Now that was a move I first used against the Eagles in the national finals. Of course-ha, ha-them bitches didn't explode!" replied Cole.
"Yeah, you still got it. Now let's go sweet talk the Queen of the Bums" suggested Baird.
"Okay, now that...was awesome" said Buck in applause of Cole's performance.
"Sovereign to all KR units off-ship..we are under heavy Lambent attack. The ship has been boarded. We require support. I say again-we are under attack and require immediate assistance" said Anya.
"Sierra 117 to Spartan team we got Covenant hostiles aboard Sovereign repeat Covenant hostiles aboard Sovereign we need assistace" said Chief.
"Buck to 117, I hear ya" replied Buck.
"Buck get your team back to Sovereign ASAP!" ordered Chief.
"Well there goes our dinner plans" complained Carmine.
"Cole to KR-70. Time to get us back to the ship!" said Cole.
"KR-70 here, that's a negative, Cole. Got some serious Lambent shit on board Sovereign. Stand by.
"Roger that! Okay. Let's see if the boss lady can get us back to the ship some other way" suggested Cole.
"Buck to 117, we called in for transport and it's a negative. Our bird is tangled up with Lambent back at your position. You're on your own until we get there. Hang tight" said Buck.
"Copy that, 117 out" replied Chief.
"Uh I also heard Covenant?" said Baird.
"The fuck are The Covenant?" asked Carmine.
"More shit to kill. Let's move" ordered Cole.
Another stalk came up from the stadium after Cole blew up the previous one.
"Well it was nice while it lasted" said Sam.
"Ah shit!" added Baird.
"Hey! This is your fault those things left us alone until the COG showed up" said the stadium leader.
"Ma'am our ship is in trouble and we're tryin' to get back fast. You got any transport we can borrow?" asked Cole.
"Ohhh, here are the keys to my luxary yacht, Look COG you're on your own. Get out while you can. Come on, come on move it! Get downstairs and open the rear gates! We've got people to evacuate!" ordered the stadium boss.
"Baird, we gotta reach the bridge. The Sovereign's gonna pass underneath it" said Cole.
"All right, all right-yeah, maybe take over those gun turrets...or just rapped down when the ship's below us" suggested Baird.
"Or we can drop down when Sovereign passes by have Delta hold on to us as we fall" suggested Buck.
"Buck, that's a terrible idea" added Tanaka.
"You got a better plan Tananka? I'm all ears" said Buck.
"Ma'am-is the cable car to the bridge still working?" asked Cole.
"Yeah, but here's some free advice-forget the bridge. There's stranded over there you really don't want to mess with" advised the stadium boss.
"Yeah, we'll take our chances. We gotta get back to our ship!" said Cole.
"Fine get yourselves killed. No skin off my back" said the stadium boss as she left with her people.
"Hey Cole, they seem to know a way out" said Baird,
"So do I. This way!" said Cole.
